Abstract

Predictive maintenance is a key point to reduce cost in energy production. In this work we focus on wind energy and so on wind turbines. We start from the basis of having a sensors-based condition monitoring system installed in the wind turbine, which is in charge of registering measures/signals about some critical components. In this paper we propose a data science-based predictive process which combines two predictive tasks, classification and numerical prediction, to estimate the useful life remaining for those critical components, which are prone to fail. The process is illustrated and evaluated by using real data coming for the R+D MAS4WIN project.
