The invention provides a multi-
sensor fusion type fault locating method for a gearbox of a wind
turbine generator. The multi-
sensor fusion type fault locating method for the gearbox of the wind
turbine generator comprises the seven steps that firstly, application conditions of a fault locating model are determined according to the inner structure of the gearbox and the positions and the number of vibration sensors; secondly, collected vibration signals are analyzed according to an existing fault diagnosis technology, and corresponding fault characteristic values are extracted; thirdly, a relation between a faulty component and a characteristic
value set is established according to the parsimonious covering theory; fourthly, the position, the type and the degree of the fault of the gearbox are determined according to a gearbox
endoscopy result; fifthly, the influences of different faulty components on vibration signals of multiple detecting points are analyzed, and a
vibration attenuation coefficient is obtained; sixthly, fault diagnosis is conducted on obtained data according to the difference between the fault characteristic values and the BP neural network
algorithm, and the fault is located to the component of a certain type; seventhly, the
attenuation coefficient beta' k of the vibration signals are obtained and analyzed, and the position of the faulty component is determined by working out the smallest error
delta with a comparison method, wherein
delta=beta' k-beta k.
