[0002] Existing methods for diagnosing main bearing faults in wind turbines typically involve performing frequency domain analysis on the vibration signal of the main bearing to obtain the frequency composition of the vibration signal, and then comparing and analyzing it with the fault characteristic frequency to achieve the purpose of diagnosing the main bearing fault.
[0003] Existing methods for diagnosing wind turbine main bearing faults require the installation of additional vibration sensors on the main bearing, increasing the cost of the diagnostic approach. Furthermore, the large size of the main bearing causes the collected vibration signal to couple with information from many transmission paths, resulting in a low signal-to-noise ratio and increasing the difficulty of signal processing. Additionally, wind turbine main bearings typically operate under low-speed, heavy-load conditions, where the fault signals contained in the vibration signal are weak and subtle, easily affected by environmental noise, leading to indistinct fault characteristic frequencies and making accurate diagnosis of main bearing faults difficult.

[0068] Through extensive research, the inventors discovered that existing methods for diagnosing main bearing faults in wind turbines typically involve frequency domain analysis of the main bearing's vibration signal to obtain the frequency composition of the vibration signal, and then comparing and analyzing this composition with the fault characteristic frequency to achieve the purpose of diagnosing the main bearing fault.
[0069] Existing methods for diagnosing wind turbine main bearing faults require the installation of additional vibration sensors on the main bearing, increasing the cost of the diagnostic approach. Furthermore, the large size of the main bearing causes the collected vibration signal to couple with information from many transmission paths, resulting in a low signal-to-noise ratio and increasing the difficulty of signal processing. Additionally, wind turbine main bearings typically operate under low-speed, heavy-load conditions, where the fault signals contained in the vibration signal are weak and subtle, easily affected by environmental noise, leading to indistinct fault characteristic frequencies and making accurate diagnosis of main bearing faults difficult.

Furthermore, this application analyzes the electrical signals of the wind turbine without the need to install additional vibration sensors, reducing the cost of diagnosis. The acquired electrical signals have a high signal-to-noise ratio, which reduces the difficulty of signal processing. The solution provided in this embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 For application Figure 1 The flowchart below shows a fault detection method for an electronic device 100, and the method includes a detailed description of each step.
[0077] Step 201: When the wind turbine is in power generation mode, collect the first electrical signal of the wind turbine.
[0078] Step 202: Perform frequency domain analysis on the first electrical signal to obtain the first power spectral density of the first electrical signal.
[0079] Step 203: When the main bearing fault characteristic frequency component of the wind turbine is present in the first power spectral density, switch the wind turbine to off-grid no-load mode and collect the second electrical signal of the wind turbine.
[0080] Step 204: Perform frequency domain analysis on the second electrical signal to obtain the second power spectral density of the second electrical signal.
[0081] Step 205: When the main bearing fault characteristic frequency component of the wind turbine is present in the second power spectral density, it is determined that the main bearing of the wind turbine has failed.
[0082] In one example, it is determined whether the wind turbine is in power generation mode. If the wind turbine is in power generation mode, the first electrical signal of the wind turbine is collected at a certain sampling frequency within a set sampling time period. If the wind turbine is not in power generation mode, the wind turbine's operating status is monitored again until the wind turbine is detected to be in power generation mode, at which point the first electrical signal of the wind turbine is collected.
[0083] It should be noted that the first electrical signal may include: the active power output of the wind turbine generator, stator current, and voltage of each phase.
[0084] There are various ways to process the first electrical signal. In one example, frequency domain analysis is performed on the first electrical signal to determine whether there are characteristic frequency components of wind turbine main bearing faults in the first power spectral density corresponding to the first electrical signal. If characteristic frequency components of wind turbine main bearing faults are found in the first power spectral density corresponding to the first electrical signal, the wind turbine is switched from the power generation operation mode to the off-grid no-load mode, and the second electrical signal of the wind turbine in the off-grid no-load mode is collected.
[0085] There are several ways to collect the second electrical signal of a wind turbine in off-grid no-load mode. In one example, the second electrical signal of the wind turbine is collected at a certain sampling frequency within a set sampling time period.
[0086] It should be noted that the wind turbine in power generation mode is the mode in which the wind turbine is connected to the public power grid, household power grid, and solar power generation. The wind turbine in off-grid no-load mode is the mode in which the wind turbine is disconnected from the power grid and operates at a low speed. In this mode, the wind turbine does not generate electricity, but it still outputs voltage. In off-grid no-load mode, the hub speed of the wind turbine is controlled below 6 rpm.
[0087] Frequency domain analysis is performed on the second electrical signal collected when the wind turbine is in off-grid no-load mode to obtain the second power spectral density of the second electrical signal. Simultaneously, it is determined whether the second power spectral density of the second electrical signal contains a frequency component characteristic of the wind turbine's main bearing failure. If this frequency component is present in the second power spectral density, then a failure in the wind turbine's main bearing is confirmed. In other words, if both the first power spectral density of the first electrical signal (when the wind turbine is in power generation mode) and the second power spectral density of the second electrical signal (when the wind turbine is in off-grid no-load mode) contain a frequency component characteristic of the wind turbine's main bearing failure, then a failure in the wind turbine's main bearing is confirmed.
[0088] When the first power spectral density of the first electrical signal when the wind turbine is in power generation mode contains a characteristic frequency component of the main bearing failure of the wind turbine, or when the second power spectral density of the second electrical signal when the wind turbine is in off-grid no-load mode contains a characteristic frequency component of the main bearing failure of the wind turbine, it is determined that the main bearing of the wind turbine may have a failure risk.
[0089] It should be noted that the characteristic frequency components of a wind turbine main bearing failure may include: the characteristic frequencies of the outer ring components, the inner ring components, the rolling element components, the first cage component, and the second cage component. Specifically, the characteristic frequency of the first cage component is the frequency at which the cage passes through the outer ring components, and the characteristic frequency of the second cage component is the frequency at which the cage passes through the inner ring components.
[0090] This application determines whether the main bearing of a wind turbine is faulty in the power generation operation mode by performing frequency domain analysis on the first electrical signal of the wind turbine. If a fault component is found in the main bearing during power generation operation, the application further improves the accuracy of the diagnosis by switching the wind turbine to an off-grid, no-load mode and acquiring a second electrical signal in this mode. Frequency domain analysis of this second signal yields a second power spectral density, which is then used to determine whether the main bearing is also faulty in the off-grid, no-load mode. If so, the application confirms a fault in the main bearing. Determining the presence of a fault in the main bearing based on two modes improves diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, this application eliminates the need for additional vibration sensors by collecting and analyzing the wind turbine's electrical signals, reducing diagnostic costs. The high signal-to-noise ratio of the collected electrical signals also simplifies signal processing.
[0091] There are several ways to perform frequency domain analysis on the first electrical signal to obtain its first power spectral density. In one example, referring to... Figure 3 Here is a flowchart of the steps of the fault detection method provided in this application embodiment, including:
[0092] Step 202-1: Divide the first electrical signal into segments to obtain multiple segmented electrical signals.
[0093] Step 202-2: Perform Fourier transform on multiple segmented electrical signals in sequence to obtain the frequency domain amplitude of the first electrical signal.
[0094] Step 202-3: Calculate the mean square value of the frequency domain amplitude.
[0095] Step 202-4: Determine the ratio of the mean square value to the frequency resolution.
[0096] Step 202-5: Convert the ratio into a single-sided spectrum to obtain the first power spectral density of the first electrical signal.
[0097] There are several ways to segment the first electrical signal. In one example, a Hamming window is used to segment the acquired first electrical signal. It should be noted that the Hamming window width can be set to 256 data points, and the window shift width can be set to 50% of the window width, i.e., 128 data points. These 128 data points are treated as a single segmented electrical signal, and the first electrical signal is processed into multiple segmented electrical signals based on the Hamming window.
[0098] The windowed segmented electrical signals are sequentially subjected to Fast Fourier Transform to obtain the frequency domain amplitude of the first electrical signal, and the first power spectral density of the first electrical signal is calculated based on the frequency domain amplitude of the first electrical signal.
[0099] It should be noted that the ratio of the mean square value of the frequency domain amplitude to the frequency resolution is determined, where the frequency resolution ratio is the reciprocal of the sampling time period of the first electrical signal. For example, if the sampling time period of the first electrical signal is 10 seconds, then the frequency resolution is 1 / 10.
[0100] There are several ways to determine the one-sided spectrum of the ratio of the mean square value of the frequency domain amplitude to the frequency resolution. In one example, the proportional value in the ratio is determined, and then multiplied by a preset value to obtain the first power spectral density of the first electrical signal. That is, the positive frequency part of the power spectral density is determined, and the corresponding amplitude is multiplied by the preset value. It should be noted that the preset value can be set according to the actual situation. In one example, the preset value is set to 2.
[0101] The method of switching the wind turbine to off-grid no-load mode to collect the second electrical signal and performing frequency domain analysis on the second electrical signal to obtain the second power spectral density is the same as the method of performing frequency domain analysis on the first electrical signal to obtain the first power spectral density, and will not be elaborated here.
[0102] There are multiple ways to determine whether the first power spectral density of the first electrical signal contains characteristic frequency components of wind turbine main bearing faults. In one example, refer to... Figure 4 Here is a flowchart of the steps of the fault detection method provided in this application embodiment, including:
[0103] Step 203-1: Determine the first amplitude of each peak in the first power spectral density.
[0104] Step 203-2: Determine the minimum and maximum amplitude values among the first amplitude values.
[0105] Step 203-3: Calculate the product of the minimum amplitude and the preset multiple.
[0106] Step 203-4: When the maximum amplitude is greater than the product, determine the frequency corresponding to the maximum amplitude.
[0107] Step 203-5: Match the frequency with the characteristic frequencies of each component of the wind turbine.
[0108] Step 203-6: If the frequency matches the characteristic frequencies of each component of any wind turbine, determine that there is a wind turbine main bearing fault characteristic frequency component in the first power spectral density.
[0109] Step 203-7: Switch the wind turbine to off-grid no-load mode and collect the second electrical signal of the wind turbine.
[0110] like Figure 5 The diagram shown illustrates the first power spectral density of the first electrical signal. In one example, it is determined that... Figure 5 For each peak in the signal, the first amplitude is used to determine the maximum and minimum amplitudes. The minimum amplitude is then multiplied by a preset multiple. If the maximum amplitude is greater than the product of the minimum amplitude and the preset multiple, it is determined whether the frequency corresponding to the maximum amplitude belongs to the characteristic frequency of each component of the wind turbine. If so, the first power spectral density of the first electrical signal is determined to contain the characteristic frequency of the wind turbine main bearing fault. If not, the first power spectral density of the first electrical signal is determined to not contain the characteristic frequency of the wind turbine main bearing fault.
[0111] In another example, the first amplitude of each peak in the first power spectral density of the first electrical signal is determined, and each first peak is multiplied by a preset multiple to obtain multiple products. For each first amplitude, the first amplitude is compared with other products except the product of the first amplitude and the preset multiple. If the amplitude is greater than any product other than the product of the first amplitude and the preset multiple, the frequency corresponding to the first amplitude is determined. If the frequency corresponding to the first amplitude matches the characteristic frequency of each component of any wind turbine, then it is determined that the first power spectral density corresponding to the first electrical signal contains the characteristic frequency component of the wind turbine main bearing.
[0112] It should be noted that a wind turbine may include an outer ring component, an inner ring component, a rolling element component, a first cage component, and a second cage component, and different components correspond to different characteristic frequencies.
[0113] The characteristic frequencies of the outer ring components satisfy the following formula:
[0114]
[0115] The characteristic frequencies of the inner ring components satisfy the following formula:
[0116]
[0117] The characteristic frequencies of the rolling element components satisfy the following formula:
[0118]
[0119] The characteristic frequency of the first cage component satisfies the following formula:
[0120]
[0121] The characteristic frequency of the second cage component satisfies the following formula:
[0122]
[0123] Where Z is the number of rolling elements, d is the diameter of the rolling elements, D is the pitch diameter of the main bearing, α is the contact angle of the main bearing, and f is the contact angle of the main bearing. r The rotational frequency of the main bearing.
[0124] The frequency corresponding to the first amplitude that meets the above conditions is compared with the characteristic frequencies of the outer ring component, the inner ring component, the rolling element component, the first cage component, and the second cage component, respectively. If the frequency corresponding to the first amplitude that meets the above conditions matches the characteristic frequencies of any component of the wind turbine, it is determined that there is a characteristic frequency component of the wind turbine main bearing fault in the first power spectral density. At this time, the wind turbine is switched to off-grid no-load mode, and the second electrical signal of the wind turbine is collected. At the same time, a warning signal for the wind turbine main bearing fault is output, wherein the warning signal indicates that there may be a fault in the wind turbine main bearing.
[0125] Please refer to Figure 6 This application embodiment also provides an application for Figure 1 The fault detection device 110 of the electronic device 100 includes:
[0126] The first acquisition module 111 is used to acquire the first electrical signal of the wind turbine when the wind turbine is in the power generation operation mode.
[0127] The first analysis module 112 is used to perform frequency domain analysis on the first electrical signal to obtain the first power spectral density of the first electrical signal.
[0128] The second acquisition module 113 is used to switch the wind turbine to off-grid no-load mode and acquire the second electrical signal of the wind turbine when the main bearing fault characteristic frequency component of the wind turbine is present in the first power spectral density.
[0129] The second analysis module 114 is used to perform frequency domain analysis on the second electrical signal to obtain the second power spectral density of the second electrical signal.
[0130] The determination module 115 is used to determine that the main bearing of the wind turbine has failed when the main bearing failure characteristic frequency component of the wind turbine is present in the second power spectral density.
