Abstract: Implementing machine learning and deep learning algorithms for wind turbine (WT) fault detection (FD) based on 10-minute SCADA data has become a relevant opportunity to reduce the operation and maintenance costs of wind farms. The development of practically implementable algorithms requires addressing the issue of their scalabililty to large wind farms. Two of the main challenges here are reducing the training times and enabling training with scarce or limited data. Both of these challenges can be addressed with the help of transfer learning (TL) methods, in which a base model is trained on a source WT and the learned knowledge is transferred to a target WT. In this paper we suggest three TL frameworks designed to transfer a semi-supervised FD task between turbines. As a base model we use a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) which has been proven to perform well on the single turbine FD task. We test the three TL frameworks for transfer between WTs from the same farm and from different farms. We conclude that for the purpose of scaling up training for large farms, a simple TL based on linear regression transformation of the target predictions is an attractive high performance solution. For the challenging task of cross-farm TL based on scarce target data we show that a TL framework using combined linear regression and error-correction CNN outperforms the other methods. We demonstrate a scheme that enables the evaluation of different TL frameworks for FD without the need for labeled faults.
