[0046] The specific implementation of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and is not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0047] The inventors found that in the prior art, the unit monitoring interface can only observe the main system pressure and rotor brake pressure. When components are damaged, the wind turbine will report faults such as "low main system pressure, too long hydraulic pump working time, low rotor brake pressure", but it is impossible to determine which component is damaged. In addition, during the replacement of spare parts, if dust falls into the hydraulic system, it will cause secondary damage to the hydraulic station. More importantly, the failure and shutdown of the wind turbine will affect the power generation, thereby causing greater economic losses.

[0048] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a fault detection method, device, storage medium and electronic device to solve the above technical problems.

[0049] Figure 1 A fault detection method according to an exemplary embodiment includes the following steps:

[0050] In step S101, the main system pressure and the rotor brake pressure of the hydraulic system of the wind turbine are determined.

[0051] In step S102, a pressure build-up test curve and a pressure relief test curve are generated according to the main system pressure and the rotor brake pressure.

[0052] In step S103, it is determined whether there is a fault in the hydraulic system of the wind turbine generator set according to the pressure build-up test curve and the pressure relief test curve.

[0053] First of all, it should be understood that the wind turbine is equipped with a hydraulic system, which is responsible for the yaw braking and impeller braking functions, and is the safety guarantee of the wind turbine. The wind turbine uses PLC to realize the control and data collection of the hydraulic system. The hydraulic system includes two accumulators: the main system accumulator and the rotor brake accumulator. The accumulator is used to store energy.

[0054] A wind farm can include a SCADA system (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) that can be connected to each wind turbine. The SCADA system is installed with PLC (programmable logic controller) configuration software TwinCAT, which can be programmed and installed on the SCADA system. The ADS communication developed by Beckhoff can then be used to communicate with the PLCs of all wind turbines with the help of TwinCAT, thereby achieving control and monitoring of the hydraulic systems of all wind turbines.

[0055] For example, the determination of the rotor brake pressure can be carried out in the fault test mode (i.e. after the wind turbine is safely shut down), by transmitting instructions to the PLC through ADS communication, controlling the hydraulic system to release pressure to release the main system pressure, and reading the pressure value collected by the PLC within 0 to 25 seconds in this process, and generating a pressure change curve within 25 seconds, i.e., a pressure relief test curve. After the pressure relief is completed, an instruction is transmitted to the PLC through ADS communication to control the hydraulic system to build pressure, and reading the pressure value collected by the PLC within 0 to 25 seconds in this process, and generating a pressure change curve within 25 seconds, i.e., a pressure build-up test curve. Of course, the pressure values ​​within 0 to 30 seconds or 0 to 35 seconds can also be collected separately, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0056] Through the above method, the real-time data collection function of the wind turbine is utilized to generate a pressure build-up test curve and a pressure relief test curve according to the main system pressure and the rotor brake pressure during the hydraulic system pressure relief and pressure measurement process, and visualize the main system pressure and the rotor brake pressure of the hydraulic system. Then, it is determined whether there is a fault in the hydraulic system of the wind turbine according to the pressure build-up test curve and the pressure relief test curve. In this way, the difficulty of fault handling is reduced, the efficiency of fault detection is improved, and the cost of spare parts procurement is saved. In addition, the status of the hydraulic system components can be monitored according to the change trend of the pressure build-up test curve and the pressure relief test curve, and preventive measures can be taken in advance, thereby increasing the service life of the wind turbine.

[0057] In a possible manner, determining whether there is a fault in the hydraulic system of a wind turbine generator set according to the pressure build-up test curve and the pressure relief test curve can be performed by first determining whether the pressure curve corresponding to the main system pressure has an inflection point according to the pressure build-up test curve. If the pressure curve corresponding to the main system pressure has no inflection point, it is determined that there is a fault in the main accumulator of the hydraulic system of the wind turbine generator set. If there is an inflection point in the pressure curve corresponding to the main system pressure, the pressure value corresponding to the inflection point is determined. If the pressure value corresponding to the inflection point is less than the preset inflection point pressure value, it is determined that there is a fault in the main accumulator. According to the pressure build-up test curve, the time for the main system pressure to change from the initial value to the target pressure value is determined. If the time is not within the preset time, it is determined that there is a fault in the main accumulator.

[0058] It should be understood that the interior of the accumulator is composed of a bladder and nitrogen. The nitrogen inside the accumulator needs to be filled regularly. The nitrogen pressure after filling is the pre-charge pressure. With the increase of years, the pre-charge pressure will gradually decay. Therefore, it is possible to judge whether the main accumulator is faulty based on whether the pre-charge pressure decays, and the degree of damage to the main accumulator can be further judged based on the degree of decay of the pre-charge pressure. In addition, the main system pressure refers to the working pressure of the hydraulic oil of the hydraulic station itself, so the pre-charge pressure can be determined based on the main system pressure that can be monitored in real time by the PLC of the wind turbine.

[0059] For example, during the pressure building process of the hydraulic station, the oil filling amount of the main accumulator has been less than the accumulator capacity for a period of time. When the nitrogen inside the bladder and the hydraulic oil pressure outside the bladder are just balanced, it is a sudden change moment. At this sudden change moment, the oil filling amount of the main accumulator is equal to the main accumulator capacity, and the nitrogen inside the bladder and the hydraulic oil pressure outside the bladder are just balanced, so the hydraulic oil pressure at this time (i.e., the main system pressure) is equal to the nitrogen pressure in the pre-charge pressure accumulator bladder (i.e., the pre-charge pressure). After this sudden change moment, the bladder in the accumulator begins to compress, and it is difficult to pressurize the main accumulator, and the pressure increase speed in the main accumulator begins to slow down significantly. Therefore, if the pressure curve corresponding to the main system pressure has no inflection point, it means that there is a fault in the main accumulator of the wind turbine hydraulic system, resulting in the main accumulator being unable to store nitrogen.

[0060] It should also be understood that the preset inflection point pressure value can be the pressure value in the main accumulator when the main accumulator is full. If there is no fault in the main accumulator, at the moment of mutation (i.e., at the inflection point), the main system pressure is equal to the preset inflection point pressure value. Therefore, when the pressure value corresponding to the inflection point is less than the preset inflection point pressure value, it is determined that the main accumulator has a fault, and the fault will cause insufficient energy storage. Specifically, for a 120bar accumulator, it is required to charge the accumulator pressure to 120bar. If the pressure value corresponding to the inflection point deviates too much from 120bar, it will cause a wind turbine failure. In the present disclosure, the preset inflection point pressure value can be 70bar. Of course, it can also be adjusted according to different accumulators and different working scenarios. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0061] For example, the initial value of the main system pressure can be 0 bar, and the target pressure can be 150 bar, so as to fully pressurize the main accumulator and thereby improve the accuracy of the test. The preset time for the main system pressure to change from the initial value to the target pressure value can be 5 to 13 seconds, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0062] In a possible way, determining whether there is a fault in the hydraulic system of the wind turbine generator set based on the pressure build-up test curve and the pressure relief test curve can be done by determining whether there is a decay in the rotor brake pressure based on the pressure relief test curve. When there is a decay in the rotor brake pressure, determining that there is a fault in the rotor brake accumulator of the hydraulic system of the wind turbine generator set.

[0063] It should be understood that the rotor brake accumulator is connected to the main accumulator through a one-way valve. In the fault test mode (i.e. after the wind turbine is safely shut down), the hydraulic system is controlled to release pressure, that is, the main system pressure is released. At this time, the rotor brake pressure is greater than the main system pressure, and the one-way valve is reversely cut off. The rotor brake pressure should remain unchanged. If the one-way valve is damaged, the main accumulator and the rotor brake accumulator are connected, and the rotor brake pressure will gradually decrease. Therefore, according to the pressure relief test curve, when the rotor brake pressure is attenuated, it can be determined that the rotor brake accumulator of the hydraulic system of the wind turbine is faulty.

[0064] In a possible way, whether there is a fault in the hydraulic system of the wind turbine is determined based on the pressure buildup test curve and the pressure relief test curve. The maximum value of the main system pressure can be determined based on the pressure buildup test curve. When the maximum value is not within a preset range, it is determined that there is a fault in the overflow valve of the hydraulic system of the wind turbine.

[0065] It should be understood that the overflow valve in the hydraulic system plays a safety protection role. When the main system pressure exceeds the specified value, the overflow valve will open and discharge part of the gas in the hydraulic system so that the hydraulic system pressure does not exceed the specified value, thereby ensuring that the hydraulic system does not cause accidents due to excessive pressure.

[0066] Therefore, according to the pressure build-up test curve, when the maximum value of the main system pressure is not within the preset range, it can be determined that the overflow valve of the wind turbine hydraulic system is faulty. Specifically, if the maximum value of the main system pressure is greater than the maximum value within the preset range, it means that the overflow valve cannot discharge the gas from the system. If the maximum value of the main system pressure is less than the minimum value within the preset range, it means that the overflow valve opens in advance when the main system pressure does not reach the specified value. In the present disclosure, the preset range can be 165 bar to 175 bar, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0067] In a possible manner, determining whether there is a fault in the hydraulic system of the wind turbine generator set based on the pressure build-up test curve and the pressure relief test curve may be to determine that there is a fault in the hydraulic gear pump of the hydraulic system of the wind turbine generator set when the maximum value is less than a preset value.

[0068] For example, for a wind turbine with a maximum working pressure of 150 bar and a relief valve with an operating pressure of 170 bar, in order to fully test the hydraulic system of the wind turbine and improve the accuracy of the test results, the hydraulic system of the wind turbine can be fully pressurized without triggering the relief valve to work. Therefore, the preset value can be 160 bar, an intermediate value between 150 bar and 170 bar. Of course, corresponding preset values ​​can also be set for different wind turbines and relief valves, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0069] In a possible manner, based on the pressure build-up test curve and the pressure relief test curve, it is determined whether there is a fault in the hydraulic system of the wind turbine set. It can be that based on the pressure build-up test curve, it is determined whether the pressure curve corresponding to the main system pressure and the pressure curve corresponding to the rotor brake pressure coincide after a preset time point. If the pressure curve corresponding to the main system pressure and the pressure curve corresponding to the rotor brake pressure coincide after the preset time point, it is determined that there is a fault in the pressure sensor of the hydraulic system of the wind turbine set. And / or, based on the pressure relief test curve, it is determined whether the main system pressure decays to 0. Then, if the main system pressure has not decayed to 0, it is determined that there is a fault in the pressure sensor of the hydraulic system of the wind turbine set.

[0070] It should be understood that in the test mode, the hydraulic system is first controlled to release pressure, that is, the main system pressure is released, and then the hydraulic system is controlled to build pressure, and the main system pressure increases. Since the one-way valve connected between the main accumulator and the rotor brake accumulator can connect the main system hydraulic circuit and the rotor brake hydraulic circuit, the main system pressure is equal to the rotor brake pressure after a period of time, that is, after a period of time, the main system pressure curve and the rotor brake pressure curve will overlap for a period of time.

[0071] For example, in the present disclosure, since the pressure build-up test curve and the pressure relief test curve are generated according to the pressure value of 0 to 25 seconds during the pressure build-up process and the pressure value of 0 to 25 seconds during the pressure relief process, respectively, the preset time point can be the 5th second. If there is a deviation (non-coincidence) between the main system pressure curve and the rotor brake pressure curve after the 5th second, it means that the sensor has a detection deviation. Since the pressure build-up conditions such as the pressure size and oil temperature of the pressure build-up pumps of different systems are different, the preset time point can be determined according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0072] It should also be understood that when the pressure sensor is normal and has no faults, when the hydraulic system is controlled to release pressure, the main system pressure can decay from the standard value to 0 bar. Therefore, according to the pressure relief test curve, when the main system pressure has not decayed to 0, it can be determined that the pressure sensor of the wind turbine hydraulic system is faulty. If the main system pressure cannot decay to 0 bar, it means that the pressure sensor is faulty, or the yaw caliper oil circuit, hydraulic valve body, pipeline, etc. are not flowing smoothly, or the hydraulic station heater fails to operate normally in winter. At this time, the staff can go to the site for further inspection to determine which specific device is faulty.

[0073] In a possible manner, determining whether there is a fault in the hydraulic system of a wind turbine generator set based on a pressure build-up test curve and a pressure relief test curve can be performed by determining whether a pressure curve corresponding to the main system pressure satisfies a preset smoothness condition based on the pressure build-up test curve, and then determining that there is a fault in a throttle valve of the hydraulic system of the wind turbine generator set if the pressure curve corresponding to the main system pressure does not satisfy the preset smoothness condition.

[0074] For example, during the pump start-up pressure test, if the curve corresponding to the main system pressure is not smooth and the curve fluctuates up and down repeatedly, it means that the hydraulic pump state is repeatedly started and stopped, indicating that the throttle valve opening of the yaw circuit is too small. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not specifically limit the preset smoothness condition, and the fluctuation range of the pressure curve corresponding to the main system pressure can be determined according to the different hydraulic pumps in specific scenarios. When the curve exceeds the fluctuation range, it is determined that the pressure curve corresponding to the main system pressure does not meet the preset smoothness condition, and then it is determined that the throttle valve of the hydraulic system of the wind turbine set is faulty.

[0075] In another possible manner, before determining the main system pressure and rotor brake pressure in the wind turbine hydraulic system, the status data of the wind turbine hydraulic system can also be obtained, and then based on the status data, it is determined whether there is a fault in the wind turbine hydraulic system. If there is no fault in the wind turbine hydraulic system, the wind turbine hydraulic system is controlled to enter a fault test mode.

[0076] For example, the state data of the hydraulic system of the wind turbine can be obtained first, and then it can be determined whether the state data includes the hydraulic system fault state word (such as error_hydraulic.error_global). If the state data includes the hydraulic system fault state word, it means that the hydraulic system of the wind turbine has a fault, and the hydraulic system of the wind turbine cannot be controlled to perform fault detection. Therefore, it can be determined whether the hydraulic system of the wind turbine has a fault based on the state data, and if the hydraulic system of the wind turbine does not have a fault, the hydraulic system of the wind turbine can be controlled to enter the fault test mode.

[0077] For example, when it is determined that there is a fault in the hydraulic system of the wind turbine, the fault information can be recorded in the hydraulic system status data of the wind turbine in the form of a hydraulic system fault status word. Of course, the fault information can also be recorded in a queryable manner in other ways to avoid invalid fault testing, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the recording method of the fault information.

[0078] Figure 2 is a flow chart of a fault detection method according to another exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following processes: maintenance, pump stop pressure relief test, pump start pressure building test and complete recovery.

[0079] Among them, maintenance can be to control the wind turbine to shut down safely and enter the test mode. The pump stop pressure relief test can be to transmit instructions to the PLC through ADS communication, control the hydraulic system to unload the main system pressure, read the pressure value collected by the PLC, and plot the pressure value of 0 to 25s into a pressure relief test curve. The pump start pressure test can be to transmit instructions to the PLC through ADS communication, control the hydraulic system to start pressure building, read the pressure value collected by the PLC, and plot the pressure value of 0 to 25s into a pressure building test curve. Restoring all can be to control the release of excess pressure that is higher than the working pressure of the wind turbine during the pressure building test, so that the main system pressure returns to the normal working value. Then cancel the wind turbine maintenance and control the wind turbine to exit the test mode to ensure that the state of the wind turbine is restored to the same state as before the test.

[0080] The specific implementation methods of the above processes have been described in detail above and will not be repeated here. In addition, it should be understood that for the above method embodiments, for the sake of simplicity, they are all expressed as a series of action combinations, but those skilled in the art should know that the present disclosure is not limited to the order of actions described above. Secondly, those skilled in the art should also know that the embodiments described above belong to preferred embodiments, and the steps involved are not necessarily required by the present disclosure.

[0081] Through the above method, the real-time data acquisition function of the wind turbine is utilized to generate a pressure build-up test curve and a pressure relief test curve according to the main system pressure and the rotor brake pressure during the hydraulic system pressure relief and pressure measurement process, and visualize the main system pressure and the rotor brake pressure of the hydraulic system. Then, according to the pressure build-up test curve and the pressure relief test curve, it is determined whether there is a fault in the hydraulic system of the wind turbine and the fault point is determined. In this way, the defects or faulty parts of the hydraulic system can be easily and accurately located, which reduces the difficulty of fault handling, improves the efficiency of fault detection, and saves spare parts procurement expenses. In addition, the status of the hydraulic system components can be monitored according to the changing trends of the pressure build-up test curve and the pressure relief test curve, and prevented in advance, thereby increasing the service life of the wind turbine.
