Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wind energy, both onshore and offshore, is one of the fastest growing sources of clean energy, being of significant interest for tackling global energy needs and the climate crisis. It provides reliable power supplies and fuel diversification, which enhance energy security and lower the risk of conventional power plants. To ensure safe and efficient operation of wind turbines, the whole cycle of wind energy, especially operation and maintenance, must be optimized. This has pushed forward research and innovations in condition monitoring, fault diagnosis, and fault-tolerant control (FTC) with a vast range of technologies and algorithms being used to form remote sensing, data mining and fusion, digital twins, and advanced control techniques.
Wind turbines are dynamical systems with a high degree of nonlinearity and stochastic inputs, thus indicating many challenges from the modeling point of view. The stochastic nature of wind turbine inputs complicates fault diagnosis of wind turbines. Moreover, fault-tolerant control methods offer sustainable operation over a wider range of conditions than would otherwise be expected.
This Special Issue aims to explore advances and challenges in condition monitoring, fault diagnosis, and fault-tolerant control for wind turbines and other subsystems found on a wind farm. This includes techniques for detecting isolation and estimation faults, remaining useful life estimation, methods for implementing fault-tolerant control, and case studies of real-world wind energy applications. This Special Issue aims to bring together researchers and industry professionals to share their expertise and showcase the latest developments in this important area of renewable energy.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Condition monitoring;
- Fault-tolerant control;
- Fault detection, estimation, and isolation;
- Fault accommodation;
- Observer design;
- Robust control;
- Wind turbines;
- Sensor, actuator, and grid faults;
- Event triggered fault-tolerant control;
- Active and passive fault-tolerant control;
- Digital twins in fault diagnosis and condition monitoring of wind turbines.
