Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of condition monitoring of wind turbine generators, and particularly relates to an automatic fault location method for flange fastening bolts of wind turbine generators. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous growth of the global demand for renewable energy, wind power generation, as a clean and efficient energy conversion method, has been widely applied. However, during the long-term operation of wind turbine generators, especially under harsh weather conditions, the reliability and safety of structural components face severe challenges. Among them, the flange fastening bolts of the wind turbine are important structural components connecting the blades, hub and tower barrel, and their condition monitoring and fault diagnosis are particularly important.

[0003] Traditional monitoring methods for flange fastening bolts of wind turbines mostly rely on manual inspection and regular maintenance, which are not only inefficient but also prone to undetected problems, making it difficult to timely discover potential faults. In addition, although current monitoring technologies are increasingly moving towards intelligence, due to the complex working conditions and diverse fault modes, accurate fault location remains a difficult problem.

[0004] Currently, the technologies applied to the field of condition monitoring of wind turbine generators mainly include methods such as acoustic monitoring, vibration analysis and temperature monitoring. However, these methods often cannot comprehensively and real-time reflect the stress conditions and potential faults of the bolts. Especially in the environment of large-scale wind farms, how to achieve the condition monitoring and fault location of the flange fastening bolts of the wind turbines urgently needs research and optimization. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention belongs to the field of condition monitoring of wind turbine generators, and particularly relates to an automatic fault location method for flange fastening bolts of wind turbines. The specific content is as follows: First, ultrasonic sensors are installed at the flange fastening bolts in a uniformly distributed manner for multi-point synchronous acquisition. Data preprocessing is carried out based on the quartile algorithm. The axial stress data after preprocessing under the initial operating state is used as test data. By combining the test data and the real-time acquisition data, thresholds are set and adjusted based on the 3-σ criterion and the dynamic adjustment coefficient to achieve preliminary abnormal discrimination. Secondly, the stress condition of the flange fastening bolts is simplified into a mechanical model, and the axial stress distribution under different working conditions is obtained through theoretical calculation methods. Combining with the test data, the axial stress distribution model of the bolts is further optimized to obtain the fault location criterion. Finally, the eigenvalue of the unmonitored bolts is extracted by the weighted average method, and the bolt fault location is realized based on the fault location criterion. The overall framework of the present invention is as Figure 1 shown.

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic fault location method for the fastening bolts of a fan flange, so as to solve the problems of low monitoring efficiency, high missed detection rate and inaccurate location in the prior art, thereby improving the operation safety and reliability of a wind power generation unit. The technology of the present invention mainly includes three modules: data acquisition, automatic anomaly discrimination and automatic fault location. The specific functions and implementation steps of each module are as follows:

[0007] The main function of the data acquisition module is to complete the tasks of data acquisition, storage and preprocessing. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0008] S101: Use an ultrasonic sensor to collect the ultrasonic echo signal of the axial stress of the bolt. After hardware and software filtering algorithms, remove the clutter and accurately extract the ultrasonic echo characteristic values of the axial stress of the bolt, so as to calculate the real-time axial stress data of the bolt;

[0009] S102: Screen and preprocess the axial stress data obtained in S101 according to the quartile method to remove the interference data therein;

[0010] The main function of the automatic anomaly discrimination module is to set and adaptively adjust the axial stress threshold of the bolt based on the test data set and the real-time collected data, and use the optimized threshold to achieve preliminary anomaly discrimination. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0011] S201: Based on the real-time wind condition data collected by the SCADA system and the preprocessing method described in S102, extract and merge the axial stress data of the bolts of the same model unit in the initial operation state and under the same wind condition. After preprocessing the obtained axial stress data, use it as the test data set;

[0012] S202: Use the collected test data set to set the basic threshold according to the 3-σ criterion;

[0013] S203: Collect the axial stress data of each monitored bolt to generate an axial stress time series. According to the real-time collected data and the actual working condition requirements, introduce a threshold adjustment coefficient to adaptively adjust the axial stress threshold. If the flange fastening bolt is affected by a large load fluctuation, the threshold adjustment coefficient increases to enhance the adaptability of the threshold to the fluctuation. For a stable operation scenario, the threshold adjustment coefficient decreases to avoid excessive false alarms and achieve adaptive threshold adjustment.

[0014] The main functions of the automatic fault location module include: establishing an axial stress distribution model of the flange fastening bolt as a fault evaluation criterion, equivalently calculating the axial stress data of the unmonitored bolts by combining the weighted average method and the geometric position relationship between the bolts, and determining the axial stress threshold of the unmonitored bolts. Finally, locate the bolts with faults. The specific process is as Figure 2 shown. The implementation steps are as follows:

[0015] S301: Establish an axial stress distribution model based on the mechanical analysis method to obtain the bolt axial stress distribution models under different working conditions (normal, single-region loosening or fracture, and multi-region loosening or fracture);

[0016] S302: Characterize the stress distribution characteristics of the flange fastening bolt group under different working conditions based on the multi-modal matrix principle to obtain the corresponding bolt axial stress distribution matrix, i.e., the flange fastening bolt fault assessment criterion;

[0017] S303: Based on the real-time data, use the weighted average method and the geometric position relationship between bolts to automatically extract the estimated values of the axial stress of the unmonitored bolts;

[0018] S304: Obtain the axial stress thresholds of each bolt according to the threshold setting and optimization algorithm described in S4 and S5;

[0019] S305: Combine the axial stress data of each bolt, the axial stress threshold, and the fault assessment criterion to perform automatic fault location and determine the fault type.

[0020] In summary, the present invention realizes the whole-process and real-time monitoring of the state of the flange fastening bolts of the fan by using ultrasonic sensors, overcomes the limitations of the traditional method, uses the initial operating state and wind condition data set of the same type of unit as the test data set, provides the axial stress threshold of the bolts more in line with the actual operating conditions of the wind turbine, and combines the 3-σ criterion, the threshold adjustment coefficient, the mechanical model, and the multi-modal matrix to provide a more scientific and accurate fault assessment criterion, significantly improving the monitoring accuracy. The weighted average method is introduced to extract the characteristic values, effectively expanding the monitoring range and improving the ability to locate the faults of unmonitored bolts. After implementing the present invention, it is possible to monitor the state of the flange fastening bolts of the fan in real time, accurately locate the possible fault points, reduce the safety hazards and economic losses caused by bolt faults, improve the overall operating efficiency and reliability of the wind turbine generator set. Transferring the acquisition of bolt fault characteristics to the software algorithm level is the basis for realizing the automatic positioning of fault bolts, which helps to promote the automation and intelligentization of the flange fastening bolt state monitoring and health assessment system.

[0024] The data acquisition module includes three sub-modules: data acquisition, data storage, and data preprocessing. The data acquisition sub-module uses ultrasonic sensors to collect ultrasonic echo signals of the axial stress of bolts. Through hardware and software filtering algorithms, clutter is removed, and the ultrasonic echo characteristic values of the bolt pre-tightening force are accurately extracted, thereby calculating the real-time axial stress data of the bolts. The data storage sub-module stores the axial stress data of each monitoring point of the flange fastening bolts in the database through SQL database language. The data preprocessing sub-module screens and preprocesses the obtained axial stress data according to the quartile method, removes the interference data therein, and improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the data.

[0025] The automatic anomaly discrimination module includes three sub-modules: test data set, threshold adjustment, and anomaly judgment. The specific process is as Figure 2 shown. The test data set is collected from the initial operating state of the flange fastening bolt group and obtained after preprocessing. The threshold adjustment sub-module needs to be jointly completed by the test data set and the real-time collected data. Based on the 3-σ criterion and the characteristic values extracted by the threshold adjustment coefficient, automatic threshold adjustment is achieved. The anomaly detection sub-module completes the preliminary anomaly discrimination based on the adjusted threshold and the real-time axial stress data.

[0026] The automatic fault location module mainly includes four sub-modules: establishing an axial stress distribution model based on mechanical analysis methods, fault evaluation criteria, feature extraction of unmonitored bolts, fault location, and output conclusion. The specific process is as Figure 3 shown. The feature extraction sub-module of unmonitored bolts automatically extracts the estimated value of the axial stress of unmonitored bolts based on real-time data and the weighted average method.

This criterion is the key to realizing automatic fault location.

[0027] First, preprocess the collected data set. Arrange the axial stress data set in ascending order, divide it into four equal parts, and calculate the quartiles. The quartiles are the data at the three node positions after being divided into four equal parts. The corresponding formula is as follows:
