Abstract

Studying the icing problem of wind turbine blades is crucial for optimizing wind farm operation and maintenance. Traditional machine learning algorithms like Random Forest and Support Vector Machines have limitations in handling complex time series data and capturing long-term dependencies, leading to insufficient accuracy and generalization. To address these gaps, this paper proposes a comprehensive approach involving advanced machine learning frameworks and feature engineering techniques. This paper based on the original SACDA dataset, four distinct types of processing are performed on the prediction data via PCA dimensionality reduction and the introduction of new features; meanwhile, the four types mentioned above of datasets are trained and predicted using the Gated Recycling Unit model (GRU), Random Forest (RF), GA-BP Neural Network (BP), and Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) models. The results indicate that the prediction accuracies of all four types of models are more satisfactory, with the RF model having the highest prediction accuracy and the overall accuracy remaining above 99 percent, the dataset + RF model after dimensionality reduction of the original sensitive features having the highest prediction accuracy and speed.
