Transfer Learning in Graph Neural Networks with Real-World Offshore Wind Farm Data

Jan Van Rompaey, Francisco de Nolasco Santos, W. Weijtjens, C. Devriendt

The ever-growing need for renewable energy has driven the development of increasingly large offshore wind turbines. Alongside improved design codes and changing control strategies, this has led to fatigue becoming an operational concern. Farm operators require information about t…

From Few Instrumented Turbines to the Whole Farm: Fatigue Estimation Using Learned Acceleration Representations and LSTM Regression

Yacine Bel-Hadj, Francisco de Nolasco Santos, W. Weijtjens, C. Devriendt

Strain gauges provide the most direct route to fatigue estimation because they allow computing the Damage Equivalent Moment through cycle counting. Their cost and the need for regular maintenance make them expensive to operate in offshore environments. As a result, strain gauges…
