Abstract

With the rapid development and increasing energy production capacity of high-power wind turbines, a corresponding increase in maintenance requirements has been observed. Reducing the failure rate of wind turbines is a critical objective, alongside decreasing affiliated operation and maintenance costs. This review focuses on the status monitoring, fault diagnosis, fault prediction, and status evaluation of wind turbines. The early fault diagnosis of wind turbines is explored with regard to existing condition monitoring technology. Moreover, the current mathematics-based fault diagnosis and smart fault diagnosis technologies are further explored. Through comprehensive investigation, this paper summarizes the research status of wind turbine fault prediction and complete machine status evaluation, conclusively presenting relevant research points and trends in the fault diagnosis, fault prediction, and status assessment of high-power wind turbines.
