Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electrical digital data processing, and in particular to a wind turbine intelligent inspection defect recognition system based on big data analysis. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the wind power industry, the number and installed capacity of wind turbines continue to increase, and the importance of their operation and maintenance has become increasingly prominent. However, the operating environment of wind turbines is complex. They are exposed to harsh conditions such as high wind speed, low temperature, and high humidity for a long time, which can easily cause problems such as component aging, structural damage, and system failure. If these problems are not discovered and handled in a timely manner, they may cause unplanned equipment shutdowns, reduce power generation efficiency, and even cause safety accidents. Although traditional manual inspection methods can detect unit defects to a certain extent, they are difficult to meet the needs of refined operation and maintenance of modern wind farms due to their high labor costs, low efficiency, and incomplete data coverage.

[0003] Many wind turbine inspection systems have been developed. After a lot of searching and reference, it is found that the existing inspection systems include the system disclosed in the publication number CN111708380B. These system methods generally include: Step 1, the drone determines the flight route of the drone according to the status of the wind turbine of the wind turbine; Step 2, the drone automatically inspects along the flight route and shoots the video stream of the wind turbine of the wind turbine; Step 3, according to the current network connection status, the drone is selected to push the video stream to the platform in real time or the drone pushes the video stream to the platform after the flight is completed. However, this system does not conduct an in-depth analysis of the status of the wind turbine, and only conducts inspections based on simple status information.
