Testing topological data analysis for wind turbine condition monitoring

Vibration-based CBM with topology-derived health indicators (Norwegian wind park data).

Condition monitoring and predictive maintenance help prevent failures and reduce downtime. In this work, topological data analysis (TDA) was combined with classical (Fourier) signal analysis for condition-based monitoring of wind turbines. Acceleration and spectra were collected from a wind park in Norway; TDA was applied to point clouds built from vibration time series to derive topology-based health indicators, which were evaluated for fault detection and classification.
