This paper presents an incremental way to design the decision module of a diagnostic system by resorting to dynamic weighting ensembles of classifiers. The method is applied for sensor fault detection and isolation in a doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine application. Three sets of observers are combined to generate residuals that are robust to operating point changes. These signals are progressively fed into a dynamic weighting ensembles algorithm, called Learn(++).NC, for fault classification. The algorithm incrementally learns the residuals-faults relationships and dynamically classifies the faults including multiple new classes. It resorts to a dynamically weighted consult and vote mechanism to combine the outputs of the base-classifiers.
