Popis: A common technique used to decrease a cost of wind turbine maintenance is a remote monitoring. Apart from the development of several advanced diagnostic methods for wind turbines there is a need to prepare an early warning tool which would work continuously in real-time and focus the attention on potentially dangerous cases. A research using the resonance neural networks made so far by the authors gave positive results. Systems based on the ART-2 networks were able to perform a classification of operational states of a horizontal axis wind turbine. In this paper the innovative idea of using the ART-2 network is applied to data from vertical axis wind turbines. The system, which were composed by ART-2 and new signal normalization procedures based on a stereographic projection, was implemented and tested. Simulations of a system operation showed that it is capable to perform an efficient state classification.
