Asset Management Goal: Optimization of Costs and Turbine Availability

The maintenance concept is focused on answering the

following questions:

Which components have to be supervised

intensively to ensure a safe and reliable operation?

When and where do preventive measures have to

be taken to avoid failure and to secure a high base

load capacity?

How can offshore energy be produced as

economically as possible?

Asset Management Buzzwords

Predictive maintenance

Predictive analytics

Big data

“techniques are designed to help determine the condition of in-service equipment in order to predict when

maintenance should be performed. This approach promises cost savings over routine or time-based

preventive maintenance, because tasks are performed only when warranted.”

“encompasses a variety of statistical techniques from predictive modeling, machine learning, and data

mining that analyze current and historical facts to make predictions about future or otherwise unknown

events.”

“is a term for data sets that are so large or complex that traditional data processing applications are

inadequate.

The term often refers simply to the use of predictive analytics or certain other advanced methods to extract

value from data, and seldom to a particular size of data set.”

Goal in anomaly detection in SCADA data

10

Automatically identify individual WEC with atypical

measurements with high accuracy using existing

operational SCADA data from wind turbines


BAX SCADA System


Data Situation Global Tech I

80 Turbines AD-116

313 Sensors in data model 10min average

Statuslog, Parameter changes, counters

Trace around errors (sampling rate 10ms, 200ms, 1000ms)

Different types of configuration (different settings per WEC)

SCADA alerts only for selected sensors using manually configured thresholds

Anomaly Detection - Definition

Latin „anomalia“: unequal, uneven, irregular

Meaning in our project: Unexpected qualitative change in the behaviour of a WEC

over time

Problem: What is unexpected?

Assumption: Potentially interesting is any difference to a past refererence date

range:

„used to work like that“ or

„what used to be similar in the past should still be so“


Anomaly Detection - Requirements

No/as little metadata as possible

No manual definition of „normal“ sensor values

Fast learning (nearly interactive experiments)

Efficient model application (single server, no special hardware requirements)

Low false alert rate

Complements SCADA alerts (not a replacement)


Anomaly Detection – Main Idea

Use redundant and/or similar measurements as potential references for comparisons

between sensor values

Temperature „rotor bearing 1“ ≈ „ rotor bearing 2“ ≈ „rotor bearing 3“

Current coolant pump ≈ coolant pressure

Produced power ≈ wind speed³

Temperature changes proportional, sometimes with a time lag


Anomaly Detection - Method

LASSO-Regression (Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator):

Multiple linear regression with integrated feature selection

SensorX ≈ weighted sum of other features

Feature: sensor, sensor – x minutes, added sensors, transformed sensors (square, square root, logarithm…)

Anomaly Detection – Representative Findings

Automatic detection of

Gradual increase in temperatures

Pressure changes

Sensor defects

Failure of redundant component

operation

Oil/water leaks

Misalignments of nacelle /

wind direction

Etc.

22Fleet Monitoring & Data Analysis- Automatic Anomaly Detection

Anomaly Detection - Lessons learned

Long enough „error free“ reference date

ranges are hard to find

Ramp up phase, frequent parameter changes

Optimal length of reference date range unclear

Not every model makes sense

Need to exclude bogus sensors: counters, parameter

settings

Counters may be misleading: intermitting resets

Redundant components need to be added up

Alternating motors and pumps

23

The more models, the better the results

If an error changes several temperature values in a

similar way, models may not see it

Needs good integration with interactive data

visualizations

Often, manually comparing different sensors, date

ranges, plants very helpful

Latency disrupts investigative mindset

Not all anomalies are „interesting“:

Heating increases currents/power usage (not

observed in summer)

Needs classification of changes (sensor defects, trend

changes, …)
