Abstract - Floating wind turbines are the centerpiece of offshore floating power generation and an important means of
developing offshore wind resources. In few years, artificial intelligence technology has achieved great results in many fields,
and equipment fault diagnosis is also much important. Since the working environment of the floating fan is bad and far from
the land, a failure of the floating fan generator can have very serious consequences. Based on the research results of AI
technology, this article focuses on the application of AI technology in fault diagnosis of floating wind turbines and proposes a
fault diagnosis intelligent system framework. According to the research of expert systems and artificial neural networks, the
floating fan generator failure diagnosis technology is proposed, and the artificial neural network model and the reasonable
failure receive the diagnostic reasoning flow.
Key Words: artificial intelligence; component; neural network; fault diagnosis; floating wind turbine.
1. INTRODUCTION
The generator is the heart of the offshore floating wind turbine, and its proper performance is the foundation for the wind
turbines proper operation. Because the floating fans are situated in the water and are unattended, the unit frequently fails
due to the poor operating environment, making the intelligent generator fault detection system extremely vital. Overload,
bearing fracture, line ageing, and other common generator defects are all too common. When a malfunction arises that
cannot be corrected in a timely manner, the light will force the unit to shut down, while the heavy will burn the entire unit,
resulting in huge financial losses. Furthermore, failure of one component might influence other components or even the
complete wind turbine in extreme circumstances. It is significant in light of all of these facts. Using this technology, it will
greatly help the physically challenged and elderly people to control the appliances easily. A mobile application along with
Vuforia Server will help the users to control a switch by simply pointing their mobile camera to it from a distance.
Different virtual switches will appear like on and off when the camera is pointed to image target, thus allow the user to
control different appliances easily and conveniently. Instead of normal switches, 2D buttons will appear on the screen
which gives a familiar interface to the user. When the user touches the button information will be transfer to the Blynk
server and instruction is forwarded to the microcontroller and the controller turns the device on or off according to the
user operation.
