System and method for predicting wind turbine component failures

摘要

Methods and systems for use in predicting wind turbine failures are provided. One example system includes a database (304) including operating data for a plurality of wind turbines and anomaly alerts for a plurality of wind turbines, and a processing device (302) coupled to the database. The processing device (302) is configured to determine a parametric profile for a component of a wind turbine (100) from the operating data. The parametric profile defines at least one parametric event associated with the component prior to failure of the component. The processing device is configured to determine an anomaly profile for the component of the wind turbine (100) from the anomaly alerts. The anomaly profile defines at least one anomaly associated with the component prior to failure of the component. The processing device (302) is configured to determine a probability of failure for the component of the wind turbine (100) based on the parametric profile and the anomaly profile.
