[0024] The content of the present invention can be more easily understood by selecting the following detailed description of the preferred implementation method of the present invention and the embodiments included. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0025] Embodiment 1:
[0026] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a wind turbine component hierarchical fault early warning method, including the following steps:
[0027] S1, obtaining SCADA data, preprocessing the SCADA data to obtain preprocessed data;
[0028] SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a data acquisition and monitoring control system. SCADA data refers to various data collected through the system.
[0029] Among them, SCADA data includes historical data and real-time data. Historical data is used to determine the threshold of the unit health status indicator, and real-time data is used to determine the real-time status indicator. The historical data records the fault data that has occurred in the whole machine and each subsystem. The real-time data is collected periodically through the data acquisition and monitoring control system to form a chronological data sequence. The historical data and real-time data are pre-processed through data cleaning, noise removal, and standardization.
[0030] The SCADA system can collect and record all-round operation information of wind turbines in real time, including multiple attribute parameters such as ambient wind speed, generator speed, active power, etc. The acquisition system of the unit control center controls the remote sensors to record the unit monitoring data at regular intervals to form a chronological data sequence. Some relevant performance parameters and normal ranges are shown in Table 1.

[0032]
[0033]
[0034] S2. Input the preprocessed data into the early warning model to determine whether there is an abnormality in the whole machine;
[0035] The early warning model includes the whole machine early warning model and the subsystem early warning model of each subsystem.
[0036] The whole machine establishes several different algorithm models according to the fault data in the historical data, and uses the fault data to test the algorithm models to obtain the early warning success rate and false alarm rate of each algorithm model. The optimal early warning model is selected as the early warning model of the whole machine according to the early warning success rate and false alarm rate.
[0037] The preprocessed data obtained from historical data and real-time data are input into the whole machine prediction model. The historical data obtains the status indicators under the normal state, and the real-time data obtains the status indicators under the monitoring state. The status indicators under the monitoring state are compared with the status indicators under the normal state to determine whether they exceed the threshold. If they do not exceed the threshold, return to S1 to monitor the data again. If they exceed the threshold, perform S3 to detect the subsystem.
[0038] S3. If the whole machine is abnormal, each subsystem is tested separately through the early warning model to locate the subsystem with the abnormality.
[0039] The subsystems include at least: a wind wheel subsystem, a transmission subsystem, and a generator subsystem.
[0040] Each subsystem predicts the location of abnormality through the subsystem early warning model. The subsystem early warning model includes three subsystem prediction models. The subsystem establishes several different algorithm models based on the fault data in the historical data, tests the algorithm model using the fault data, obtains the early warning success rate and false alarm rate of each algorithm model, and selects the optimal prediction model based on the early warning success rate and false alarm rate as the early warning model for the three subsystems.
[0041] The historical data and real-time data are preprocessed to separate the related subsystem preprocessed data, and the subsystem preprocessed data is input into the subsystem prediction model. The historical data obtains the status indicators under the normal state, and the real-time data obtains the status indicators under the monitoring state. The status indicators under the monitoring state are compared with the status indicators under the normal state to determine whether they exceed the threshold. If the threshold is not exceeded, the data of the next subsystem is monitored. If the threshold is exceeded, the abnormal subsystem is located and the cause of the abnormality is predicted.
[0042] The embodiments described above are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents. Such modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and should all be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
