Abstract

This project aims to develop a method for wind turbine blade (WTB) inspection using machine learning and computer vision that would allow early detection and diagnosis of structural faults in WTBs, aiding in condition-based maintenance in the industry. At present, the industry relies on the use of manual inspections of blades for fault detection and diagnosis. The use of drones for inspection has been proven for bridges and dams and is in the process of being implemented in the OSW industry. However, current methods of inspection require huge volumes of data and labour-intensive pre-processing. This project aims to utilise machine learning methods, to reduce human input required in the detection and diagnosis of faults in WTBs. This will consist of developing a set of novel computer vision algorithms that can achieve high accuracies of fault detection and classification from limited datasets to introduce prior knowledge into the learning process.

Background Of The Research

In the context of smart grids (SGs), wind is commonly acknowledged as the reliable and environmentally sustainable kind of distributed generation (DG). Therefore, it is imperative to assure the presence of these vital traits in the future of an intelligent grid. As a result, a significant body of research to improving the reliability, prediction, and detection of emerging malfunctions in specific categories of wind turbines. The study conducted by (Abedini et al. 2019) focused on the detection of wind turbine using deep learning techniques for towers. The adaptive control for the intelligent grid was analysed by (Anderson et al. 2011). (Babaie et al. 2018) introduced a novel technique for mapping drone images by utilising modern technologies. The study conducted by Bahaghighat and Motamedi (2018) focused on the examination and surveillance of wind turbine farms within developing intelligent grid systems. The identification of an advanced transmission line was investigated (Dash et al. 2006) through the utilisation of a support vector machine. In their study, Erol and Mouftah (2011) conducted an analysis of networks in the context of the future energy.
