[0003] As a crucial component of the transmission system of wind turbines, the gearbox's auxiliary system is also very important. Gearbox filter failure often leads to a continuous increase in gearbox lubricating oil temperature, ultimately resulting in shutdown and power generation loss. Severely clogged gearbox filters can also damage the gearbox oil pump.
[0004] Currently, there is no reliable early warning system for gearbox filters in the industry. Usually, it is done through regular manual inspections, and by the time abnormalities are discovered, the filter element has already been damaged to varying degrees. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for early warning and diagnosis of gearbox filter blockage in wind turbines, which solves the problem of the lag in existing gearbox fault early warning systems.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0009] Step 2: Divide the obtained historical data into four datasets;
[0010] Step 3: Model the four datasets respectively, and calculate the filter differential pressure threshold for each dataset based on the model.
[0011] Step 4: Obtain the real-time operating data of the wind turbine under test. The real-time operating data includes the real-time outlet oil temperature of the gearbox, the real-time inlet pressure of the gearbox filter, and the real-time outlet pressure of the gearbox filter.
[0012] Step 5: Divide the obtained real-time running data according to Step 2 to obtain four datasets;

[0122] Step 13, Early Warning Judgment:
[0123] (1) Since the gearbox oil passes through the coarse filter element in datasets d2 and d4, therefore if This indicates that the coarse filter element is clogged;
[0124] (2) Since in datasets d2 and d4, the gearbox oil passes through the coarse filter element, if... Then it is determined that the coarse filter element is blocked; in the data sets d1 and d3, the gearbox oil passes through the coarse filter element and the fine filter element, if simultaneously The fine filter cartridge may also become clogged;
[0125] (3) Since the gearbox oil passes through the coarse filter element in datasets d2 and d4, if... The coarse filter element is not clogged; data d1 and d3 are concentrated, indicating that the gearbox oil passes through both the coarse and fine filter elements. If simultaneously... The fine filter cartridge will become clogged;
[0126] (4) Since the gearbox oil passes through the coarse filter element in datasets d2 and d4, if... The coarse filter element is not clogged; data d1 and d3 are concentrated, indicating that the gearbox oil passes through both the coarse and fine filter elements. If simultaneously... The fine filter element is not clogged.
[0127] In this invention, reliable historical data is first used to perform linear regression fitting on locally linear datasets D1, D2, D3, and D4, obtaining linear equations f1(x), f2(x), f3(x), and f4(x) and residuals. Since the residuals of the linear regression equations follow a normal distribution, the boundary values with a 99.7% probability interval of the residual distribution are [mean - 3 * variance, mean + 3 * variance]. Because filter blockage will increase the filter pressure difference, the upper boundary value [mean + 3 * variance] is used to calculate the residuals Th1, Th2, Th3, and Th4. For the real-time running datasets d1, d2, d3, and d4, the estimated values of all points are calculated based on the filter inlet pressure and the regression equations f1(x), f2(x), f3(x), and f4(x), and the mean residual is calculated by subtracting the estimated value from the actual value. The residuals are analyzed as follows:
[0128] Result 1:
[0129] In datasets d2 and d4, the gearbox oil only passes through the coarse filter element. If... If the residual exceeds the upper boundary value of the residual distribution interval with a probability of 99.7%, that is, under the same filter inlet pressure, the actual filter pressure difference is too high and exceeds the reasonable range of filter pressure difference in historical sample data, then the coarse filter element is considered to be blocked.
[0130] Result 2:
[0131] In datasets d1 and d3, the gearbox oil passes through a coarse filter element and a fine filter element. If... This means that the residual has exceeded the upper boundary value of the residual distribution interval with a probability of 99.7%. In other words, under the same filter inlet pressure, the actual filter pressure difference is too high and exceeds the reasonable range of filter pressure difference in historical sample data. Since the gearbox oil passes through both the coarse filter element and the fine filter element at the same time, both the coarse filter and the fine filter element may be blocked. At this time, result 1 should be used in conjunction with the judgment. If result 1 is true, it is determined that the coarse filter element is blocked and the fine filter element may be blocked. If result 1 is not true, it is determined that the fine filter element is blocked.
[0132] Result 3: and
[0133] If the residuals in the test data d1, d2, d3, and d4 are all within the boundary range with a probability of 99.7% in the distribution interval, then the filter pressure difference is considered to be within a reasonable range, and it is determined that neither the coarse filter nor the fine filter element is blocked.
[0134] This preferred embodiment provides a wind turbine gearbox filter blockage early warning and diagnostic system, including:
[0135] The historical data acquisition unit is used to acquire historical data of the wind turbine under test, including gearbox outlet oil temperature, gearbox filter inlet pressure, gearbox filter outlet pressure, and filter differential pressure; and to acquire real-time operating data of the wind turbine under test, including real-time gearbox outlet oil temperature, real-time gearbox filter inlet pressure, and real-time gearbox filter outlet pressure.
[0136] The data partitioning unit is used to divide the obtained historical data and real-time running data into four corresponding datasets.
[0137] The threshold calculation unit is used to model the four datasets respectively and calculate the filter differential pressure threshold for each dataset based on the model.
[0138] The residual mean calculation unit uses the model corresponding to each dataset to calculate the real-time residual mean of the filter pressure difference corresponding to the four datasets of real-time running data.
[0139] The anomaly detection unit is used to determine whether the gearbox filter of the wind turbine under test is abnormal based on the real-time residual average value of the obtained filter differential pressure and the obtained filter differential pressure threshold.
[0140] Because the gearbox lubricating oil cooling system controls the lubricating oil through different circuits based on oil pressure and temperature, there is an uncertain nonlinear relationship between the pressure difference across the gearbox filter and the oil pressure and temperature before the filter during overall analysis. This makes it difficult to effectively analyze whether there are any abnormalities in the pressure difference across the filter. In this invention, the principle of local linearization of nonlinear relationships is used to split the data into four cases according to conditions: the first historical dataset D1 (lubricating oil passes through the fine filter element → coarse filter element → oil-water exchanger), the second historical dataset D2 (lubricating oil passes through the coarse filter element → oil-water exchanger), the third historical dataset D3 (lubricating oil passes through the fine filter element → coarse filter element → oil-water exchanger and oil-water exchange bypass), and the fourth historical dataset D4 (lubricating oil passes through the coarse filter element → oil-water exchanger and oil-water exchange bypass). In each dataset, the pressure difference across the gearbox filter conforms to a linear relationship with the oil pressure and temperature before the filter. This makes it easy to analyze whether there are any abnormalities in the pressure difference across the filter, thereby determining whether the filter element is blocked.
