Abstract
Methods and systems for use in predicting wind turbine failures are provided. One example method includes determining a parametric profile for a component of a wind turbine from operating data of a plurality of wind turbines, determining an anomaly profile for the component of the wind turbine from anomaly alerts from a plurality of wind turbines, and determining a probability of failure for the component of the wind turbine based on the parametric profile and the anomaly profile. The parametric profile defines at least one parametric event associated with the component prior to failure of the component, and the anomaly profile defines at least one anomaly associated with the component prior to failure of the component.
