Wind turbine blade damage detection based on acoustic signals by Chenchen Yang, Shaohu Ding, Guangsheng Zhou

“…Considering the computational challenges of spectral subtraction under extreme noise intensities, a pretrained sound source separation neural network was used to distinguish between random wind noise and mechanical noise in wind turbine sound signals. In this paper, the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) time-frequency diagrams of signals processed using the spectral subtraction method are compared with those processed by combining the source separation model and spectral subtraction. …”
