| Summary: | Different types of outliers have existed in the monitoring data of wind turbines, which are not conducive to the follow-up data mining. However, the complex inner characteristics of the monitoring data pose major challenges to detect the outliers. To address this problem, an unsupervised outlier detection approach combining stacked denoising autoencoder (SDAE) and density-grid-based clustering method is proposed. First, the characteristics of the outliers in supervisory control and data acquisition data caused by different reasons are analyzed. Then, the SDAE is utilized to extract features by training the original data. Furthermore, the density-grid-based clustering method is applied to achieve the clustering results. Window width is added to classify the outliers as isolated outliers, missing data, and fault data according to the duration of abnormal data. The monitoring data of four wind turbines are sampled as the training data to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed model can effectively identify the isolated outliers, missing data, and fault information in the high dimensional data set by unsupervised learning.
