Predictive maintenance (PdM) is pursued to reduce wind farm operation and maintenance costs by accurately predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) and strategically scheduling maintenance.
A novel deep learning (DL) methodology, ForeNet-2d and ForeNet-3d, is proposed for future RUL forecasting.
The models successfully forecast RUL for seven wind turbine failures with a 2-week forecast window.
The methodology offers a substantial time frame for remote wind turbines maintenance, enabling the practical implementation of PdM.
