Early prediction of wind turbine failuresA researcher from VUB has developed a system that can predict wind turbine failures caused by early component malfunctions. He specializes in condition monitoring, a technique that uses data from turbine sensors and artificial intelligence to track the machine's condition. "If operators can anticipate that a specific component is about to fail, they can replace it during regular maintenance, preventing turbine downtime," says Dr. Xavier Chesterman, who completed his PhD on this complex issue.
