description To reduce maintenance costs of wind turbines (WTs), WT health monitoring has attracted wide attention, and different methods have been proposed. However, most existing WT temperature monitoring methods ignore the fact that various wind conditions can directly affect internal temperature of WT, such as main bearing temperature. This paper analyzes the effects of wind conditions on WT temperature monitoring. To reduce these effects, this paper also proposes a novel WT temperature monitoring solution. Compared with existing solutions, the proposed solution has two advantages: (1) wind condition clustering (WCC) is applied and then a normal turbine behavior model is built for each wind condition; (2) extreme learning machine (ELM) is optimized by an improved genetic algorithm (IGA) to avoid local minimum due to the irregularity of wind condition change and the randomness of initial coefficients. Cases of real SCADA data validate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed solution.
