Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of offshore wind turbine fault analysis, and in particular relates to a method for selecting target turbines in offshore wind farms, repairing faults, and optimizing power generation based on game theory. Background Art

[0002] Offshore wind farm operations are challenging to manage, requiring a large workforce and operating in a complex environment. As a key component of renewable energy, offshore wind power is becoming a key force in the global energy transition. However, offshore wind farm operations and maintenance (O&M) face numerous challenges, particularly when turbine failures occur. How to quickly and effectively repair faults, minimize downtime, and maximize power generation remains a pressing issue in the O&M field.

[0003] In existing technologies, the wind farm fault repair process typically relies on empirical judgment and intuitive decision-making, lacking a systematic, scientific optimization method. This repair approach not only makes it difficult to ensure the optimal repair time, but can also lead to high maintenance costs and fails to fully consider the interests and cooperation potential of multiple parties involved. For example, conflicts of interest often exist between equipment suppliers, contractors, operation and maintenance teams, and wind farm operators regarding repair time, costs, and equipment selection, leading to coordination difficulties, wasted resources, and time delays. This is especially true for offshore wind farms, where remote locations, severe weather, and complex sea conditions make fault handling even more complex and costly.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a game theory-based offshore wind farm target unit screening, fault repair and power generation optimization method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

Through the optimization model of game theory, multiple stakeholders such as the operation and maintenance team, equipment suppliers, contractors and wind farm operators are incorporated into the decision-making framework. Through the strategy optimization of game theory, the resources of all parties are coordinated to formulate the optimal fault handling plan, thereby maximizing the power generation of the wind farm and reducing the repair cost.

[0011] Preferably, the analysis of the half-year power generation of the units after sorting is as follows: An analysis of the causes of wind turbines with significant ranking drops was conducted, including one or more of equipment failure, maintenance issues, and wind speed changes. Game theory was used to optimize repair decisions to ensure the rational allocation of resources and time.

[0012] Preferably, the game model construction in step S3 includes: Identify the players involved, including operations and maintenance teams, equipment suppliers, contractors, and wind farm operators; Establish the game theory type: Use a combination of non-cooperative and cooperative games to simulate the decision-making behavior of each party in troubleshooting.
