Hydraulic accumulator fault diagnosis using LSTM neural networks
The maintenance costs associated with offshore wind turbines, particularly those related to logistics and system downtimes, are significantly influenced by the reliability of hydraulic components, especially the pitch control system. Accumulator failures, which constitute a notable percentage of system faults, often result from gas leakage and pressure
