The work solves the problem of increasing the accuracy and efficiency of the classification of defects in renewable energy facilities under conditions of limited computing resources and uncertainty of input data. An adaptive intelligent system based on cascade bagging of neuro-fuzzy models has been proposed, which combines the hypersector Fuzzy LVQ method, the associative FBSB model and the modified Wang–Mendel method. The formation of the feature space has been carried out by constructing a compact four-dimensional vector that corresponds to the main classes of defects and provides a reduction in computational costs while maintaining resolution. An adaptive mechanism for determining weight coefficients between cascades has been developed, which allows taking into account the current quality of classification and increasing the consistency of solutions of individual modules. Experimental studies performed in the Active-HDL environment have confirmed the operability of the system in real time with a latency of one clock cycle. According to the results of testing on a sample of 60 examples, a classification accuracy of 98% has been achieved. It has been shown that the proposed approach provides high resilience to uncertainty, effective integration of classification results, and low resource costs, which makes it promising for application in embedded monitoring systems.
