Abstract Wind energy is considered as a alternative renewable energy source due
to its low operating cost when compared with other sources. The wind turbine is
an essential system used to change kinetic energy into electrical energy. Wind turbine
blades, in particular, require a competitive condition inspection approach as
it is a significant component of the wind turbine system that costs around 20-25
percent of the total turbine cost. The main objective of this study is to differentiate
between various blade faults which affect the wind turbine blade under operating
conditions using a machine learning approach… More >
