Exploratory analysis of SCADA data fromwind turbines using the K-means clustering algorithm for predictive maintenance purposes

Product maintenance costs throughout the product’s lifetime can account for between 30–60% of total operating costs, making it necessary to implement maintenance strategies. This problem not only affects the economy but is also related to the impact on the environment, since breakdowns are also resp...

Industrial maintenance is a set of measures of a technical-organizational nature whose purpose is to sustain the functionality of the equipment and guarantee an optimal state of the machines over time, with the aim of saving costs, extending the useful life of the machines, saving energy, maximising production and availability, ensuring the quality of the product obtained, providing job security for technicians, preserving the environment, and reducing emissions as much as possible.
