Title
A Class-Imbalanced Heterogeneous Federated Learning Model for Detecting Icing on Wind Turbine Blades
Abstract
Wind farms are typically located at high latitudes, resulting in a high risk of blade icing. Data-driven approaches offer promising solutions for blade icing detection, but they rely on a considerable amount of data. Data exchange between multiple wind farms would improve the performance of detection models, due to the spatio-temporal dependencies capable of reflecting different meteorological conditions. The traditional centralized approach for icing detection faces many challenges, including the requirement of high storage and computational capacity of the server, vulnerability to cyberattacks, and operators’ reluctance of sharing data for commercial reasons. To address these challenges, this article proposes a heterogeneous federated learning (FL) model for wind turbine blade icing detection. The structures of the server and client models in the presented method are different, in contrast to the traditional FL of sharing the same structure. In addition, this article addresses the class imbalance problem in the training data. Last, this article conducts comprehensive experiments to evaluate the proposed method using real-world data from 20 turbines in two wind farms, and compares it with two state-of-the-art FL models and five well-known class imbalance methods. The experimental results verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.
