The highest costs due to premature failures in wind turbine drivetrains are related to defects in the gearbox, with bearing failures being overrepresented. Vibration monitoring has been identified as the primary tool to detect and diagnose these types of failures. However, late or no signs of the failures are still being reported. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) has been shown to favourably be used as a classifier of bearing failures to increase the detection and diagnosis performance, which requires labelled data when training for all types of considered failures. However, less work has been done with an ANN used to create descriptive functions of the vibration and turbine operation data relationship and thereby negating inherent variance in the vibration data and increasing the detectability when a defect appears. Therefore, this study utilizes the relationship between the rotational speed recorded during a vibration measurement and the calculated condition indicator values of specific bearing failures in three wind turbine gearbox failures. An ANN establishes a function between the rotational speed and condition indicator values with healthy training data collected before the failure occurred. Thereafter, whole datasets leading up to the changing of the gearboxes is used to predict the condition indicator values without the failure influence. The difference between the predicted and true values show an increased sensitivity of the detection in two cases of gearbox output shaft bearing failures as well as indicating a planet bearing failure which with the previous data had gone undetected.
