Abstract Neural network has increasingly been used in a fault diagnosis system for wind turbines. The choice of input layer characteristic parameters plays an important role in solving the unstable problem in convergence during network training. First of all, the selection of input layer characteristic parameters of neural network was studied in a fault diagnosis system for wind turbines. It was identified that a wind turbine has three typical components, such as gear box, rotor and blade, in which a fault can occur frequently. Then the fault type and its mechanism were analyzed. It was shown that the frequency characteristics of the gear box can be used to characterize its fault types, a fault in the rotor can be related to an axis orbit;however the fault diagnosis of blade needs an acoustic emission system.Based on these ana-lytical results, several kinds of methods for determining the input layer characteristic parameters were proposed at last. For the gear box, the input layer characteristic parameters can be determined by means of time-frequency characteristics of a fault; the parameters for rotor faults can be reflected by its axis orbit, the parameters for the blade faults can be decided by the characteristic data, which are generated on the blade surfaces and can be detected with an acoustic emission system. This approach can provide a reference for neural network establishment of a fault diagnosis system for wind turbine units.
