Attached Figure Description

[0027] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the method for calculating the similarity between current faults and historical faults in this invention. Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. These descriptions are intended to explain the invention and not to limit it.

[0029] The expert guidance and assistance method and system for offshore wind power of the present invention includes:

[0030] Data interface module

[0031] The data interface module provides the recommendation algorithm module with the necessary data, including: current fault symptoms, operating parameters at the time of the current fault, historical fault symptoms, operating parameters at the time of historical faults, and an expert guidance library.

[0032] The current fault symptoms include: the fault name and a description of the fault symptoms.

[0033] The operating parameters at the time of the current fault include: the operating parameter information of the wind turbine at the time the current fault occurred.

[0034] Historical fault phenomena include: fault name and fault phenomenon description.

[0035] The operating parameters at the time of the historical fault include: the operating parameter information of the wind turbine at the time the historical fault occurred.

[0036] The expert guidance database includes: fault name, fault cause, handling methods and steps, replacement parts information, tool information, safety information, personnel configuration information, and relevant drawings and documents.

[0037] Recommendation algorithm module

[0038] The recommendation algorithm is the core of this invention. The data input through the data interface module is used for algorithm operation and processing analysis. It calculates the similarity between the current fault and historical faults from two aspects: fault phenomena and operating parameters at the time of the fault. This allows it to obtain the fault causes of historical faults with high similarity. By associating with the expert guidance standard library, it finally outputs the guidance scheme with the highest recommendation degree to assist fault handling personnel in troubleshooting and handling faults in offshore wind turbines.

[0039] Suppose there exists a fault set F = {F0, F1, F2, ..., Fn} consisting of one unprocessed current fault and n processed historical faults. n}, where F0 represents the current fault, F1, F2, ..., F n Representing historical faults, the calculation steps of the recommendation algorithm are as follows: Figure 1 As shown:

[0040] The detailed steps and principles are as follows:

[0041] Step 1: Processing operating parameters at the current time of the fault

[0042] Enter the name of the current fault, the time of the current fault, and the operating parameters.

[0043] For the operating parameters at the time of the fault, an alternating factor elimination algorithm is used to remove data factors from the operating parameters at the time of the fault that did not affect the occurrence of the fault. For the operating parameter P at the time of the fault, G(P) represents the data factors it contains, and the calculation of the elimination algorithm is shown in the following formula:

[0044]

[0045] In the formula, s represents the type of data factors affecting the operating parameters at the time of the fault, and u j The value represents the proportion of data factors influencing the operating parameters at the time of failure within the original operating parameters at the time of failure. When the calculated result of the data factor influencing the operating parameters at the time of failure is greater than the influence value of the operating parameters at the time of failure, the operating parameter P at that time of failure is removed, and the influence value s of the operating parameters at the time of failure is determined. j The calculation is shown in the following formula:

[0046] s j =(s j -mins j ) / (maxs j -mins j )

[0047] By eliminating data factors from the operating parameters at the time of the fault that did not affect the occurrence of the fault, the accuracy and completeness of the operating parameters at the time of the offshore wind turbine fault are ensured. After eliminating data factors from the operating parameters at the time of the fault that did not affect the occurrence of the fault, the operating parameters at the time of the fault are calculated as follows:

[0048] L(u) = -(u1 × log2(u1) + ... + u n ×log2(u n ))

[0049] In the formula, n represents the types of data factors affecting the operating parameters at the time of the fault after removal, L(u) represents the number of times the operating parameters occur at the time of the fault, and u n This represents the proportion of the operating parameters at each fault moment to the total operating parameters at all fault moments.

[0050] Using the above formula, the processing of the operating parameters at the current fault time is completed, resulting in the operating parameters at the current fault time as P_F0(f 01 ,f 02 ,f 03 ,f 04 ,...,f 0m ), where m is the number of preprocessed fault time operation parameters.

[0051] Step 2: Processing operating parameters at the time of historical faults

[0052] Using the calculation formula in step 1, the operating parameters at the time of the historical fault are processed to obtain the operating parameters at the time of the nth historical fault as P_F. n (f n1 ,fn2 ,f n3 ,f n4 ,...,f nm ).

[0053] Step 3: Calculation of similarity of operating parameters at the time of failure

[0054] Based on the operating parameters at the time of the current fault obtained from step 1 and the operating parameters at the time of the historical fault obtained from step 3, the similarity between the current fault and the historical fault in terms of operating parameters at the time of the fault is calculated. The calculation of the similarity is shown in the following formula:

[0055]

[0056] The calculated similarity scores are ranked from highest to lowest to obtain a set of historical faults whose similarity to the current fault and historical faults in terms of operating parameters at the time of the fault is ranked from highest to lowest. in The historical fault with the highest similarity in operating parameters at the time of the fault. The historical fault with the lowest similarity in operating parameters at the time of the fault.

[0057] Step 4: Calculation of similarity of fault phenomena

[0058] For the current fault symptom C, the fault symptom of historical faults is retrieved based on semantic content as shown in the following formula:

[0059]

[0060] Where N represents the total number of semantic content entries in the fault phenomena of historical faults, a and z represent the attribute sets of the fault phenomena of the current fault and the fault phenomena of historical faults, respectively, and F O F q F v This represents the frequency of attributes o, q, and v in the content. o indicates the shared attributes between the current fault's symptoms and those of historical faults; q indicates attributes included in historical fault symptoms but not in the current fault's symptoms; and v indicates attributes included in the current fault's symptoms but not in historical fault symptoms. Thus, a set of historical faults with decreasing similarity to the current fault in terms of symptoms is calculated. in These are the historical faults with the highest similarity in their fault symptoms. The historical faults with the least similarity in fault symptoms.

[0061] Step 5: Recommended Guidance Plan

[0062] Based on the historical fault set obtained from step 3 The historical fault set obtained from step 4 An expert guidance standard library is established by associating historical fault causes with other faults. Guidance solutions for the corresponding fault causes are obtained. The similarity between the current fault and historical faults is the recommendation degree of the guidance solution. The information in the guidance solution includes: relevant drawings, relevant documents, operation steps, safety information, and personnel and spare parts configuration information.

[0063] Application Function Module

[0064] The application features include an expert guidance library and recommended guidance solutions.

[0065] The expert guidance module allows experts to maintain and update guidance plans.

[0066] The guidance solution recommendation module provides system-recommended guidance solutions for the current fault, offering reference and guidance for troubleshooting personnel. When multiple guidance solutions are involved, they can be tried in descending order of recommendation level until the fault is finally resolved.

[0067] Result Output Module

[0068] It has a data service interface, which allows other systems to call the guidance scheme recommendation function of this invention.

[0069] It should be noted that the above description is only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and all equivalent changes made to the system described in this invention are included within the protection scope of this invention. Those skilled in the art can make similar substitutions to the specific examples described, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of the invention or exceed the scope defined in these claims, all of which fall within the protection scope of this invention.
