description Wind turbines are widely used worldwide to generate clean, renewable energy. The biggest issue with a wind turbine is reducing failures and downtime, which lowers costs associated with operations and maintenance. Wind turbines’ consistency and timely maintenance can enhance their performance and dependability. Still, the traditional routine configuration makes detecting faults of wind turbines difficult. Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) produces reliable and affordable quality data for the health condition of wind turbine operations. For wind power to be sufficiently reliable, it is crucial to retrieve useful information from SCADA successfully. This article proposes a new AdaBoost, K-nearest neighbors, and logistic regression-based stacking ensemble (AKL-SE) classifier to classify the faults of the wind turbine condition monitoring system. A stacking ensemble classifier integrates different classification models to enhance the model’s accuracy. We have used three classifiers, AdaBoost, K-nearest neighbors, and logistic regression, as base models to make output. The output of these three classifiers is used as input in the logistic regression classifier’s meta-model. To improve the data validity, SCADA data are first preprocessed by cleaning and removing any abnormal data. Next, the Pearson correlation coefficient was used to choose the input variables. The Stacking Ensemble classifier was trained using these parameters. The analysis demonstrates that the suggested method successfully identifies faults in wind turbines when applied to local 3 MW wind turbines. The proposed approach shows the potential for effective wind energy use, which could encourage the use of clean energy.
