Abstract

One of the main problems of wind energy is that of production continuity, exacerbated in the case of floating devides due to the added complexity of the environmental loads. Given the intrinsic variability of wind, which leads to irregularities in energy production, it is of particular importance to detect and minimize both the frequency and severity of machine failures or malfunctions. In this work, a 5 MW offshore floating reference turbine has been studied; and failures of various structural elements have been simulated using NREL’s OpenFAST software, using simulation coupling techniques. Then, a neural network has been trained using MATLAB, with the aim of identifying the most suitable sensors to detect these anomalies, as well as their characteristic response that allows a fast and reliable diagnosis of the failure.
