This dataset provides a comprehensive collection of vibrational data for the purpose of structural health monitoring, particularly focusing on the detection of bolt loosening in offshore wind turbine jacket foundations. The data set comprises 780 comma-separated values (CSV) files, each corresponding to specific experimental conditions, including various structural states of the wind turbine's support structure. These states are systematically varied considering three main aspects: the amplitude of a white noise (WN) signal, the type of bolt damage, and the level at which damage has occurred.

Structural health monitoring for offshore wind turbine foundations is paramount to the further development of offshore fixed wind farms. At present time there are a limited number of foundation designs, the jacket type being the preferred one in large water depths. In this work, a jacket-type foundation damage diagnosis strategy is stated.

As stated by the European Academy of Wind Energy (EAWE), the wind industry has identified main bearing failures as a critical issue in terms of increasing wind turbine reliability and availability. This is owing to major repairs with high replacement costs and long downtime periods associated with main bearing failures. Thus, the main bearing fault prognosis has become an economically relevant topic and is a technical challenge.

This work deals with structural health monitoring for jacket-type foundations of offshore wind turbines. In particular, a vibration-response-only methodology is proposed based on accelerometer data and deep convolutional neural networks. The main contribution of this article is twofold: (i) a signal-to-image conversion of the accelerometer data into gray scale multichannel images with as many channels as the number of sensors in the condition monitoring system, and (ii) a data augmentation strategy to diminish the test set error of the deep convolutional neural network used to classify the images.
