Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure generally relates to the field of power technology, and more specifically, to a method and apparatus for detecting bearing wear in wind turbine generators. Background Technology
[0002] Wind turbine generator bearings are a crucial transmission component of wind turbine generators. However, because wind turbine generators are installed at high locations and are exposed to harsh environments such as humidity, corrosion, and strong winds for extended periods, the mechanical structure of the generator bearings is prone to damage. The main function of generator bearings is to support the generator rotor, enabling it to rotate, while controlling its axial and radial movement, reducing the coefficient of friction during its movement, and ensuring its rotational accuracy.
[0003] However, due to factors such as initial installation, prolonged poor lubrication, and harsh working environments, generator bearings are prone to wear, leading to abnormal generator vibration, reduced generator lifespan, and unstable wind turbine operation. Furthermore, abnormal vibration can cause frequent turbine shutdowns and even safety accidents. Additionally, it increases the coefficient of friction during operation, reducing rotational accuracy and impacting power generation performance. Moreover, due to the operating environment, severe bearing wear not only increases spare parts and maintenance costs for the wind farm but also results in significant power generation losses due to prolonged downtime during spare parts replacement and frequent turbine shutdowns during operation.

[0034] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, examples of which are illustrated in the drawings, wherein the same reference numerals always refer to the same parts. The embodiments will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in order to explain this disclosure.
[0035] This disclosure proposes using the operating data of the wind turbine unit to achieve generator bearing wear detection. As an example, a processor can read the wind turbine unit's operating data from a data source. Then, based on the wind turbine unit's generator speed, wind speed, nacelle x-axis acceleration, nacelle y-axis acceleration, and other operating data, the processor performs data acquisition, data cleaning, data processing, feature extraction, and anomaly detection to effectively detect wind turbine generator bearing anomalies. Furthermore, the processor can provide the bearing wear detection results to a display device for display, thereby providing support to on-site maintenance personnel. For example, the wind turbine unit's controller or the wind farm's controller can read the wind turbine unit's operating data from a SCADA data source and use this data to perform generator bearing wear detection. The bearing wear detection results can also be provided to a display device in the control room for display.
[0036] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a bearing wear detection method for a wind turbine according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 In step S10, the operating data of the wind turbine is obtained.
[0038] The operating data includes the wind turbine's rotational speed and nacelle acceleration. For example, the rotational speed may be the generator speed of the wind turbine. For example, the nacelle acceleration may specifically include: nacelle acceleration in the x-direction and / or nacelle acceleration in the y-direction. For example, the x-direction may refer to the lateral direction of the nacelle, and the y-direction may refer to the longitudinal direction of the nacelle.
[0039] As an example, step S10 may include: reading multiple real-time data points of the wind turbine over a period of time, and then cleaning the read real-time data to obtain the operating data.
[0040] As an example, multiple real-time data points of the wind turbine over a period of time can be read from the SCADA data source.
[0041] As an example, the data fields to be read may include: generator speed, wind speed, nacelle x-axis acceleration, and nacelle y-axis acceleration.
[0042] As an example, the length of the time period can be adjusted according to the data acquisition frequency; for example, at least 200,000 real-time data entries can be read.
[0043] As an example, the steps for cleaning the read real-time data may include: removing abnormal data (e.g., data including null values) from the read real-time data due to problems such as acquisition and transmission; then, when the amount of jump data in the real-time data after removing abnormal data meets certain conditions, selecting real-time data from the real-time data after removing abnormal data where both the x-direction nacelle acceleration and the y-direction nacelle acceleration are within a reasonable and reliable range (e.g., the default range can be -0.45 to 0.45, which can be adjusted according to the actual situation and specific needs).
[0044] As an example, the filtered data must meet the requirement of having sufficient data above a certain wind speed value, and the amount of filtered data must reach a certain percentage of the original data (for example, it is generally recommended not to be less than 30%). For example, the amount of filtered data with wind speeds exceeding a first wind speed threshold should not be less than a first preset data amount, and the amount of filtered data with wind speeds exceeding a second wind speed threshold should not be less than a second preset data amount.
[0045] In step S20, based on the operating data, the data characteristic indicators corresponding to each speed range are determined.
[0046] The data feature indexes for each speed range are used to characterize the features of the operating data that belong to that speed range.
[0047] As an example, each speed range is preset. For instance, the speed range can be preset according to the specific operating conditions of the wind turbine.
[0048] As an example, each speed range may include at least two of the following speed ranges: a first speed range, a second speed range, and a third speed range.
[0049] As an example, the first speed range can be the stable speed range of the wind turbine that is least affected by the turbine system. In other words, within this speed range, the speed is least affected by systems such as the electrical system and yaw system. For example, this speed range can be the speed range corresponding to a relatively stable full-load state and a state near full-load. The first speed range can be obtained based on experience and the stable operation of the wind turbine.
[0050] As an example, the second speed range can be the speed range from the wind turbine's speed during stable grid-connected operation to the speed when the power reaches the rated power.
[0051] As an example, the third speed range can be the speed range from the grid-connected speed of the wind turbine to the speed corresponding to the cut-off wind speed. As an example, the difference between the maximum and minimum values in the third speed range must be greater than a certain value (e.g., greater than 4). As an example, the amount of aggregated data for speeds belonging to this speed range must reach a certain amount.
[0052] As an example, the first speed range, the second speed range, and the third speed range may partially overlap. As an example, the first speed range may be the narrowest of all speed ranges, and the third speed range may be the widest of all speed ranges. For example, the third speed range may include the second speed range, and the second speed range may include the first speed range. For example, when the wind turbine is a direct-drive wind turbine, the range of the first speed range may be 9-11 rpm, the range of the second speed range may be 7-15 rpm, and the range of the third speed range may be 5-18 rpm.
[0053] As an example, step S20 may include: aggregating the operating data according to the rotational speed to obtain aggregated data; and for each rotational speed range, determining the data characteristic index of that rotational speed range based on the aggregated data where the rotational speed belongs to that range. The aggregated data includes the rotational speed and the statistical value of the nacelle acceleration corresponding to that rotational speed.
[0054] As an example, the step of aggregating the operating data according to the rotational speed to obtain aggregated data may include: adjusting the precision of the rotational speed in the operating data; and aggregating the operating data with the same rotational speed in the adjusted operating data to obtain aggregated data.
[0055] As an example, the step of adjusting the accuracy of the rotational speed in the operating data may include: rounding the rotational speed value in the operating data so that the rotational speed value retains one decimal place.
[0056] As an example, the step of aggregating operational data with the same rotational speed in the adjusted operational data to obtain aggregated data may include: aggregating all operational data with the same rotational speed in the adjusted operational data to obtain one aggregated data point corresponding to that rotational speed. This aggregated data point includes: the rotational speed and a statistical value obtained by statistically analyzing the nacelle acceleration of all operational data with that rotational speed. It should be understood that each aggregated data point includes one rotational speed, and different aggregated data points include different rotational speeds.
[0057] As an example, the type of the above statistical value may be standard deviation, and it should be understood that it may also be other types of statistical values, which this disclosure does not limit. As an example, the statistical value of the nacelle acceleration may include: the standard deviation Y of the nacelle acceleration in the y-direction and the standard deviation X of the nacelle acceleration in the x-direction. For example, each aggregated data may include: rotational speed, the standard deviation Y of the nacelle acceleration in the y-direction of all operating data with that rotational speed, and the standard deviation X of the nacelle acceleration in the x-direction of all operating data with that rotational speed.
[0058] As an example, for each speed range, the step of determining the data characteristic index of that speed range based on the aggregated data of speeds belonging to that speed range may include: for each speed range, firstly, filtering out the aggregated data of speeds belonging to that speed range, and then, based on the filtered aggregated data, determining the data characteristic index of that speed range.
[0059] In step S30, based on the data characteristic indicators of each speed range, the wear of the generator bearing of the wind turbine is detected to be abnormal.
[0060] As an example, the data characteristic indicators corresponding to the first speed range may include, but are not limited to, the amount of data whose standard deviation Y exceeds the first standard deviation threshold. Here, the amount of data N5 whose standard deviation Y exceeds the first standard deviation threshold may refer to the number of aggregated data whose speed belongs to the first speed range and whose standard deviation Y exceeds the first standard deviation threshold p7.
[0061] As an example, the data characteristic indicators corresponding to the second speed range may include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: the coefficient of variation of the standard deviation Y, the amount of data in the standard deviation Y that exceeds the second standard deviation threshold, the absolute value of the kurtosis of the standard deviation Y, the maximum value of the standard deviation Y, the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the standard deviation Y, the speed of the aggregated data with the largest standard deviation Y, the maximum difference of the standard deviation Y, and the ratio of the maximum difference to the coefficient of variation.
[0062] Here, the coefficient of variation of standard deviation Y can refer to: the coefficient of variation Coeff of the standard deviation Y of all aggregated data whose rotational speeds belong to the second rotational speed range; the number of data N4 whose standard deviation Y exceeds the second standard deviation threshold can refer to: the number of aggregated data whose rotational speeds belong to the second rotational speed range and whose standard deviation Y exceeds the second standard deviation threshold p8; the absolute value of the kurtosis of standard deviation Y, math.abs(yPeak), can refer to: the absolute value of the kurtosis of the standard deviation Y of all aggregated data whose rotational speeds belong to the second rotational speed range; the maximum value of standard deviation Y, yMax, can refer to: the maximum value among all aggregated data whose rotational speeds belong to the second rotational speed range; the difference between the maximum and minimum values of standard deviation Y, yRange, can refer to: the difference between the maximum and minimum values among all aggregated data whose rotational speeds belong to the second rotational speed range; the rotational speed of the aggregated data with the largest standard deviation Y, rpmMax, can refer to: the rotational speed of the aggregated data with the largest standard deviation Y among all aggregated data whose rotational speeds belong to the second rotational speed range. For example, the formula for calculating the coefficient of variation can be: Let A = (a1, a2, a3, ... an), Coeff = A.std / A.mean.
[0063] Regarding the maximum difference of standard deviation Y, all aggregated data with rotational speeds belonging to the second rotational speed range can be sorted in ascending order according to rotational speed. Then, the difference between the standard deviations Y of two adjacent aggregated data can be obtained as the difference value Diff of standard deviation Y. The maximum difference of standard deviation Y, yDiffMax, can refer to the maximum value among all the obtained difference values Diff.
[0064] As an example, the data characteristic indicators corresponding to the third speed range may include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: the correlation coefficient between speed and standard deviation Y, the correlation coefficient between speed and standard deviation X, the correlation coefficient between speed and standard deviation deviation, the ratio between the amount of data with standard deviation deviation greater than 0 and the amount of data with standard deviation deviation less than or equal to 0, the ratio between the sum of standard deviation deviations greater than the first deviation threshold and the sum of standard deviation deviations less than the second deviation threshold, the proportion of data with standard deviation deviation greater than 0, and the maximum length of consecutive standard deviation deviations greater than 0, wherein the standard deviation deviation YSubtractX is the difference between the standard deviation Y and the standard deviation X of the same aggregated data.
[0065] Here, the correlation coefficient *corCoefY* between rotational speed and standard deviation *Y* can refer to the correlation coefficient between the rotational speed and standard deviation *Y* for all aggregated data where the rotational speed falls within the third rotational speed range; the correlation coefficient *corCoefX* between rotational speed and standard deviation *X* can refer to the correlation coefficient between the rotational speed and standard deviation *X* for all aggregated data where the rotational speed falls within the third rotational speed range; the correlation coefficient *corCoef* between rotational speed and standard deviation deviation can refer to the correlation coefficient between the rotational speed and standard deviation deviation for all aggregated data where the rotational speed falls within the third rotational speed range; and the ratio *posDivNeg* between the number of aggregated data where the rotational speed falls within the third rotational speed range and the standard deviation deviation is greater than 0 and the number of aggregated data where the rotational speed falls within the third rotational speed range and the standard deviation deviation is less than or equal to 0. The ratio of the number of aggregated data points with a standard deviation less than or equal to 0; the ratio of the sum of standard deviations greater than the first deviation threshold to the sum of standard deviations less than the second deviation threshold. `Integral` can refer to the ratio of the sum of standard deviations of all aggregated data points with a speed within the third speed range and a standard deviation greater than the first deviation threshold (p24), to the sum of standard deviations of all aggregated data points with a speed within the third speed range and a standard deviation less than the second deviation threshold (p24); the percentage of data points with a standard deviation greater than 0. `rpmIncrease` can refer to the ratio of the number of aggregated data points with a speed within the third speed range and a standard deviation greater than 0 to the total number of aggregated data points with a speed within the third speed range. For example, the second deviation threshold can be a negative of the first deviation threshold.
[0066] Regarding the maximum length of consecutive standard deviations greater than 0, yMoreXMaxLen, all aggregated data with rotational speeds belonging to the third rotational speed range can be sorted in ascending order by rotational speed. Then, the aggregated data with the most consecutive rows of standard deviations greater than 0 can be determined. The rotational speed span of these aggregated data is the maximum length of consecutive standard deviations greater than 0.
[0067] As an example, step S30 may include: determining whether the data characteristic indicators of each speed range meet the corresponding preset conditions; and in response to the data characteristic indicators of at least two speed ranges meeting the corresponding preset conditions, determining that the generator bearing of the wind turbine is abnormally worn.
[0068] As an example, the preset conditions corresponding to the first speed range may include, but are not limited to, the following sub-conditions: the amount of data N5 whose standard deviation Y exceeds the first standard deviation threshold p7 is greater than or equal to N1. N1 is a positive integer.
