Abstract
Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) is a system that automatically collects data from an array of sensors. We propose to use SCADA sensor data from wind turbines and detect potential faults using machine learning techniques. However, fault detection from sensor readings with supervised learning is confronted with several challenges. There is a high amount of variability due to external conditions which reduces learning accuracy. There is also no prior label that identifies which particular turbine has entered a faulty state at a particular time. Another important challenge is the fact that the sensor data is a time series that requires specialized algorithms.
