    Abstract: A detection system to detect an object in a blowout prevention system of a production system includes a sensor coupled to the blowout prevention system and configured to send an ultrasonic pulse toward the object. The sensor is further configured to receive a signal including the ultrasonic pulse and noise after the ultrasonic pulse interacts with the object. The detection system also includes a controller coupled to the sensor and configured to identify the ultrasonic pulse in the signal using a first cancellation signal at a first time and a second cancellation signal at a second time. The controller is further configured to determine that the first cancellation signal corresponds to the noise in the signal at the first time, and determine that the second cancellation signal corresponds to the noise in the signal at the second time. The controller is configured to determine a characteristic of the object based on the ultrasonic pulse.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting faults are provided. A method for determining a fault condition for a component of a drivetrain in a wind turbine can include receiving an acoustic signal from an acoustic signal measuring device. The method can further include receiving a vibration signal from a vibration signal measuring device. The method can further include analyzing the acoustic signal to determine an analyzed acoustic signal. The method can further include analyzing the vibration signal to determine an analyzed vibration signal. The method can further include determining a fault condition for the component based at least in part on the analyzed acoustic signal and analyzed vibration signal. The fault condition can further be determined based at least in part on an analyzed electrical signal.
