Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wind power generation, and relates to a wind turbine fault simulation and diagnosis training system and method. Background Art

[0002] As the global demand for clean energy continues to grow, wind power generation, as a clean and renewable energy form, has become increasingly prominent in the global energy structure. With the continuous advancement of wind power technology and the continuous expansion of wind farms, the complexity and operation and maintenance difficulty of wind power generation systems have also increased. This has put forward higher challenges to the professional skills and fault diagnosis capabilities of wind turbine operators.

[0003] Traditional wind turbine fault simulation and diagnosis training systems, as an important tool to improve operator skills, have played a role in training and guidance to a certain extent, but their limitations are becoming increasingly apparent. These systems mainly rely on simple computer simulations and limited physical training, making it difficult to fully and realistically reproduce complex wind turbine operating conditions and fault scenarios.

[0004] Specifically, the existing training system has obvious deficiencies in the authenticity of the simulation environment. Due to the lack of in-depth simulation of the actual wind turbine operating environment, it is difficult for operators to gain an experience close to actual operation through the training system. This results in operators being unable to make quick and accurate judgments and decisions when faced with real wind turbine failures due to a lack of sufficient response experience.

[0005] In addition, the diversity and authenticity of fault scenarios are also a major shortcoming of existing training systems. Due to technical limitations and cost considerations, existing systems can usually only simulate limited fault scenarios and cannot fully cover the various complex situations that may be encountered in actual work. This limits operators' comprehensive understanding and mastery of fault types and response strategies.

[0006] In terms of training content, the existing training system also has the problem of insufficient personalization and adaptability. Different trainees have different learning needs and backgrounds, but the existing system often adopts unified teaching content and methods, which is difficult to meet the personalized learning needs of different trainees. This not only affects the training effect, but may also cause trainees to resist the training content.

[0007] The existing training system also has obvious deficiencies in terms of the accuracy and timeliness of fault diagnosis and prediction. Due to the limitations of the simulation environment and technical restrictions, the accuracy and timeliness of fault diagnosis and prediction in the existing system often cannot meet the requirements of actual work. This affects the efficiency and safety of wind turbine operation and maintenance, and may also lead to potential safety hazards.

[0008] Finally, the existing training system is also difficult to update and expand. With the rapid development of wind power technology and the expansion of wind farms, the existing system is often difficult to update and expand in time to adapt to new training needs and technical requirements. This not only limits the scope of use and application effect of the training system, but may also cause the training content to be out of touch with actual work. Summary of the invention

In order to further improve rendering efficiency and visual quality, the present invention has developed an adaptive level of detail (LOD) system; the adaptive level of detail system can adjust the detail level of objects in the scene in real time according to the user's gaze point, which not only ensures the visual effect but also optimizes the system performance.

The fiber Bragg grating strain sensing system provides reliable data for strain monitoring of wind turbine blades with its high precision (strain resolution 0.1με) and wide measurement range (±10000με). The millimeter wave radar array operates in the 77-81GHz frequency band and has extremely high spatial resolution (1mm at a distance of 10m), and is mainly used for non-contact detection of surface defects of wind turbine blades. The operating data of the wind turbine equipment is fused through a multi-source heterogeneous data dynamic weight fusion algorithm based on a graph attention network to obtain multi-dimensional data of the wind turbine operating status. The data fusion algorithm based on the graph attention network (GAT) is expressed by the following formula:

Representation Node i The neighborhood set of is the attention coefficient, which reflects the importance of different data sources. is a learnable weight matrix, and is the input feature vector.

It can not only accurately identify faults (accuracy > 99.5%), but also accurately locate the fault (accuracy < 5 cm).

[0053] In order to improve the interpretability of the diagnosis results, the fault generation and diagnosis module introduces the structural causal model (SCM). The principle of SCM is:
