Development of a Statistical Tool for Analyzing Faults in Wind Farms

Wind turbines sometimes experience faults and stop operating due to various reasons. In order to reduce the occurrence of faults and the loss in power production, EDPR monitors and studies the behavior of sensors on wind turbines. To facilitate analysis for this purpose, this project was developed to download, clean, and visualize data, and then investigate the potential relationships between sensor readings and the occurrence of the fault. The tool returns the major contributors to a fault and is generalized so that it can be used in different locations to analyze different faults
