The paper explores the application of federated learning, a privacy-preserving distributed machine learning approach, in wind turbine condition monitoring for fault detection using normal behavior models. The authors investigate various federated learning strategies, including collaboration across different wind farms and turbine models, as well as restricted collaboration within the same farm and model. Their case study results show that federated learning across multiple turbines consistently outperforms single-turbine models, especially when training data is scarce. Additionally, the paper finds that extending collaboration to multiple farms may result in inferior performance due to statistical heterogeneity and imbalanced datasets.

Federated learning helps wind turbines work better by sharing information between different machines. This way, they can learn from each other without having to share all their data. The researchers tested this approach for detecting faults in wind turbine condition monitoring. They found that when multiple turbines share their knowledge, the models become more accurate and require less training data. However, if the turbines are too different, sharing information between them might not be as helpful.
