Weibull‐Neural Network Framework for Wind Turbine Lifetime Monitoring and Disturbance Identification
ABSTRACT Wind turbines are vital for sustainable energy, yet their reliability under diverse operational and environmental conditions remains a challenge, often leading to costly failures. This study presents a novel Weibull‐Neural Network Framework to enhance wind turbine lifetime monitoring by estimating reliability (R(t)) and mean residual life (MRL)
