Condition monitoring and performance forecasting of wind turbines based on denoising autoencoder and novel convolutional neural networks

With the proportion of wind power in the grid increasing, the monitoring and maintenance of wind turbines is becoming more and more important for the reliability of the grid. In this study, a data-driven modelling framework based on deep convolutional neural networks is constructed for wind turbines...
