# Wind Turbine Fault Diagnosis and Predictive Maintenance

This repository presents a methodology for fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance of wind turbines. The project leverages a dataset containing turbine parameters and fault types, aiming to improve the efficiency and profitability of wind energy systems.

---

## 📜 Project Overview

Wind energy is a significant contributor to renewable energy systems. However, wind turbines frequently encounter faults such as:
- Generator heating faults
- Mains failure faults
- Feeding faults
- Air cooling faults
- Excitation faults

These faults result in extended downtime and high repair costs, reducing efficiency and profit margins for wind farms. To address this challenge, this project focuses on **fault diagnosis** and **predictive maintenance** using data-driven techniques.

## ⚙️ Methodology

The proposed methodology consists of the following steps:

1. **Data Preprocessing**
- Cleaning the dataset to remove inconsistencies.
- Normalizing the data to ensure uniform scaling.
- Selecting relevant features for analysis.

2. **Analysis Techniques**
- **Statistical Analysis**: Identify trends and correlations in the data.
- **Pattern Recognition**: Detect fault signatures and patterns.

3. **Fault Diagnosis and Predictive Maintenance**
- Use preprocessed data to identify potential faults.
- Predict maintenance requirements to reduce downtime.

4. **Case Study**
- Applied the methodology to a single wind turbine to evaluate performance.
