Overview

Randomized trial evaluates fault detection accuracy in wind turbine blades using CNN and vision transformer models, indicating different effectiveness.

Key Points

  • This research aims to compare deep learning architectures for fault detection in small wind turbine blades.
  • Systematic evaluation of five deep learning architectures on the CAI-SWTB dataset.
  • Utilized binary classification for healthy versus faulty blades using 6,000 RGB images.
  • Employed transfer learning, AdamW optimizer, and cosine annealing for model training.
  • EfficientNetV2-S achieved 99.75% accuracy, the highest among all evaluated models.
  • ResNet-50 followed with 99.42% accuracy, showing strong performance.
  • Swin-Tiny outperformed the other ViT models with 88.25% accuracy, supporting its effectiveness for fault detection.
