A method and system for locating faults in a wind turbine drivetrain

This invention discloses a method and system for locating faults in a wind turbine drivetrain. The method includes: constructing a dual-flow graph neural network model containing two paths: physical flow and latent flow. The input to the model is the features of each node constructed based on multi-channel vibration signals, and the output is an enhanced node representation. The physical flow and latent flow are used to extract explicit and implicit structural correlation features between nodes, respectively. During the training phase, physical consistency constraints are introduced to suppress unreasonable spatial jumps in the implicit correlation structure. During the model operation phase, a historical sample management mechanism based on sample information is combined to enable the model to continuously adapt to new fault categories without forgetting existing knowledge. Finally, the contribution of each sensor node is quantified based on the change in the original discriminant response to generate a fault location result consistent with the drivetrain topology. This invention can achieve refined and interpretable fault location in wind turbine drivetrain scenarios with small sample sizes and incremental learning.
