7. Conclusions and future enhancements
The reasoning framework for intelligent fault diagnosis of wind turbines based on ontology and FMECA is proposed in this paper. By virtue of OWL and SWRL, the deep knowledge and the shallow knowledge, which are extracted from FMECA, are modeled in the form of ontology, and then the knowledge is translated into the facts and rules that are available to a reasoner. With the JESS rule engine, maintenance personnel can be supplied with the information of the failure causes, the locations and the diagnosis methods during fault diagnosis process. This method achieves knowledge sharing and reuse between product design enterprises and wind farms, it is suitable to provide supports to fault diagnosis, especially for new wind farms and new wind turbines.
