Wind Turbine Bearings: Day 2 - 28/08/2025

10:30 Hybrid signal processing-AI for remaining useful life estimation of wind turbine bearings


  • To plan optimized maintenance, condition monitoring methods should go beyond early fault detection to estimation of remaining useful operational time
  • AI offers potential for early detection but should be made explainable to give confidence to maintenance engineers
  • Signal processing allows to bring physics in the detection models
  • Field pilot results are shown to illustrate the methods
