Wind energy is one of the most relevant clean energies today, so wind turbines must have good health and be reliable in operation. Current wind turbines have slender and elastic structures that can be easily damaged through vibrations and compromise their health; therefore, vibration monitoring is essential to ensure safe operation. Here, we present a method for simple wind turbine vibration monitoring in the laboratory by means of an accelerometer placed on a weathervane under different scenarios, with recording of different amplitudes of vibrations caused at a constant speed of 10 km/h. The variables, trends, and data captured during vibration monitoring were then used to implement a prediction system of synthetic failure using machine learning methods such as: Medium Trees, Cubic SVN, Logistic Regression Kernel, Optimized Neural Network, and Bagged Trees, with the last demonstrating an accuracy of up to 0.87%.
