Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind power generation equipment monitoring, and in particular to a real-time intelligent monitoring system for a power circuit of a wind generator set based on the Internet of Things. Background Art
[0002] The power output circuit of a wind turbine typically consists of a circuit breaker cabinet installed in the nacelle, segmented power output cables laid inside the wind turbine tower, and copper busbars connecting these segmented cables within the tower, the generator-side power cabinet, and the grid-side power cabinet. This power output circuit has numerous cable and busbar connection points. During wind turbine operation, heat accumulates in the power output circuit due to resistance, especially at cable and busbar connection points. These points have high contact resistance and generate more heat, accelerating aging and potentially causing sparks, short circuits, and, in severe cases, turbine burnout. Sparks and short circuits in the power output circuit can also cause nearby temperatures to rise. By monitoring the temperature of these power output circuit connection points in real time and providing early warnings for units exceeding set temperatures, operations and maintenance personnel can be notified of abnormal conditions promptly, allowing them to intervene and avoid costly accidents.
[0003] Traditional manual inspections to monitor connection point temperatures are costly, lack continuous monitoring, and are ineffective. Some temperature monitoring methods using temperature control switches cannot obtain real-time temperatures, let alone reflect temperature trends. Therefore, achieving real-time monitoring and early warning of wind turbine power output circuit temperatures is of great significance. Currently, the wind turbine main control system only monitors the generator winding temperature, converter temperature, control cabinet temperature, and power cabinet temperature. It is unable to monitor the real-time temperature of the primary power circuit, such as the generator output line, converter connection point, and grid-side circuit breaker connection point. This results in blind spots in monitoring, making it impossible to promptly detect hidden dangers in cable joints, which can lead to fires. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Fluorescence fiber optic temperature sensor: With a measurement range of -40°C to 200°C, accuracy of ±1°C, and a resolution of 0.1°C, the sensor uses quartz fiber. The fiber optic probe consists of an ST connector, a fiber optic cable, and a temperature-sensing terminal. The ST connector connects to the optoelectronic module; the fiber optic cable transmits light and is made of quartz fiber. The quartz fiber is coated and clad, and protected by a Teflon sheath. The temperature-sensing terminal contains a rare earth material that generates an optical signal containing temperature information. This sensor is highly immune to electromagnetic interference, measures temperature at a single point, and provides a digital signal output. It is suitable for measuring temperature in confined spaces and is suitable for measuring temperature in high voltage, strong magnetic fields, and flammable and explosive environments. Installed on the copper busbar between the circuit breaker on the generator side of the wind turbine nacelle and the input and output cables, on the copper busbar between the twisted cable platform conductor rail wiring cabinet and the input cable, on the copper busbar between the generator side power cabinet reactor and the incoming cable, and on the copper busbar between the grid side power incoming cabinet reactor and the output cable, it measures the temperature of the copper busbar in real time.
[0023] Fluorescent fiber optic temperature transmitter: Operating voltage: 24V DC, ambient temperature: -20°C to +55°C, humidity: ≤95%, communication: RS485 and Modbus. It receives and analyzes the optical signal containing temperature information transmitted by the fluorescent fiber, and transmits the temperature signal to the IoT gateway via the RS485 interface according to the Modbus RTU protocol.
[0024] Thermal imaging dual-spectrum network cameras: These cameras feature automatic temperature measurement. By configuring temperature measurement parameters or temperature measurement rules, they automatically measure and alarm when a target meets these parameters or triggers a temperature measurement rule. Highest, lowest, or average temperature data is displayed overlaid on the thermal imaging channel. They also feature fire and smoke detection. When the device detects a fire or smoke, it displays the image, triggers an alarm, and uploads the alarm information based on the configured strategy. Installed above the generator-side circuit breaker cabinet, conductor rail wiring cabinet, generator-side power cabinet, and grid-side power cabinet, these cameras monitor temperature and fire signals in real time, aggregate them via an RJ45 network port to a switch, which then connects to an IoT controller, transmitting real-time conventional and infrared video data to the IoT gateway. When an alarm is triggered, the alarm information is output from the connected alarm output device to the IoT gateway DI module. Images can be captured through screenshots or event-based triggering and uploaded to designated IoT backend storage.
[0025] Data acquisition unit: Utilizes the UCloud USR-M300 IoT controller, which uses a Linux kernel and boasts a main frequency of up to 1.2 GHz. The network utilizes a WAN / LAN plus 4G cellular design, making uplink transmission more reliable. The LAN port can also be connected to external devices such as cameras, enabling functional applications when combined with its own routing capabilities. The hardware integrates two DI, two DO, two AI, and two RS485 channels, meeting not only industrial field control and acquisition requirements but also enabling linkage control based on data or status at various acquisition points. It features edge data acquisition, calculation, active reporting, data reading and writing, linkage control, I / O acquisition, and control. The acquisition protocol includes standard Modbus and several common PLC protocols. It supports Modbus RTU / ICP and OPCUA protocol conversion, and supports rapid access to common platforms such as UCloud, Alibaba Cloud, AWS, and Huawei Cloud.
[0026] Communication network: The collected data is transmitted to the monitoring center. The IoT controller supports cellular network and transmits the collected data to the cloud background through the built-in SIM card via the China Telecom / China Mobile / China Unicom network.
[0027] Monitoring Center: This system provides an overview of information, including maps, device statistics, organization lists, scenario statistics, data storage statistics, and alarm statistics. Device distribution and information can be viewed on the map. The system processes and analyzes collected data, uses pre-set algorithms to determine the health of the power circuit, and issues alarms when anomalies are detected.
[0028] User interface: displays real-time data of the device, displays detailed information of the device, and allows viewing of device configuration, video monitoring, real-time data, real-time alarms, historical data and other information.
[0029] The fluorescent fiber optic temperature sensor is installed in the wind turbine nacelle and is installed at the following copper busbar positions:
[0030] Copper busbar between the generator side circuit breaker and the input and output cables (ABC three-phase);
[0031] Copper busbar between the twisted cable platform conductor rail junction cabinet and the input cable (ABC three-phase);
[0032] Copper busbar between the reactor of the power cabinet on the generator side and the incoming cable (ABC three-phase);
[0033] Copper busbar (ABC three-phase) between the reactor of the power incoming cabinet on the grid side and the output cable.
[0034] The sensor's fiber optic probe consists of an ST connector, a fiber optic cable, and a temperature-sensing terminal. The ST connector connects to the optoelectronic module. The fiber optic cable is internally made of quartz fiber, and externally comprises a coating, cladding, and Teflon protective sleeve. The temperature-sensing terminal contains a temperature-sensitive rare earth material that generates an optical signal carrying temperature information.
[0035] The measuring range is -40℃~200.0℃, the measuring accuracy is ±1℃, and the resolution is 0.1℃. It is suitable for harsh environments such as high voltage, strong magnetic field, flammable and explosive materials.
[0036] Installation location for the fluorescent fiber optic temperature transmitter: Typically, it should be installed in a control cabinet or equipment room near the fluorescent fiber optic temperature sensor to facilitate receiving the optical signal. The operating voltage is 24V DC, and the operating temperature is -20°C to +55°C, with a humidity of ≤95%.
[0037] It is connected to the fluorescent fiber optic temperature sensor through the RS485 interface, receives the optical signal and analyzes it into temperature data, and then transmits the data to the Internet of Things gateway according to the Modbus RTU communication protocol.
[0038] Thermal imaging dual-spectrum network cameras are installed centered above the generator-side circuit breaker cabinet, conductor rail wiring cabinet, generator-side power cabinet, and grid-side power cabinet to ensure comprehensive coverage of key cabinet components. By setting temperature measurement parameters (such as temperature thresholds and measurement areas) or temperature measurement rules (such as temperature rise rate), automatic temperature measurement and alarms are automatically initiated when the target temperature meets the parameters or triggers the rule. The thermal imaging channel overlays and displays the maximum, minimum, or average temperature data.
[0039] Equipped with fire and smoke detection, the device displays images, triggers alarms (such as audible and visual alarms), and uploads alarm information when it detects fire or smoke. Connecting to a switch via an RJ45 network port, the switch then connects to an IoT controller, transmitting real-time video and infrared video data to an IoT gateway.
[0040] The data acquisition unit uses the UCloud USR-M300 IoT controller. It features a Linux kernel, a 1.2 GHz clock speed, and a WAN / LAN plus 4G cellular network design. It integrates two DI, two DO, two AI, and two RS485 interfaces. Installed in a control cabinet in the nacelle or tower, it connects to a switch via a LAN port for access to devices such as thermal imaging dual-spectrum network cameras. It also connects to devices such as fluorescent fiber temperature transmitters via an RS485 port.
[0041] The IoT controller uses the built-in SIM card and the 4G cellular network of China Telecom / China Mobile / China Unicom to transmit the collected data to the cloud background; sensors and transmitters, cameras and switches, switches and IoT controllers are connected through wired connections (such as RS485, RJ45), and the IoT controller and monitoring center are connected through a wireless cellular network.
[0042] The monitoring center is deployed in the wind farm operation and maintenance center or remote data center, and includes a server and monitoring software. It realizes functions such as map display (equipment distribution), equipment statistics, organization list, scene statistics, data storage statistics, and alarm statistics. It analyzes the health status of the power circuit through preset algorithms and issues alarms.
[0043] The user interface is based on the monitoring center software and can be accessed on a PC or mobile device. It is used to display real-time device data and detailed device information, and supports viewing device configuration, video monitoring, real-time data, real-time alarms, historical data, etc.
[0044] The fluorescent fiber optic temperature sensor senses the temperature of the copper busbar in real time. The temperature-sensitive rare earth material at the end of the temperature sensing end generates a specific light signal under the influence of temperature. The signal is transmitted to the ST connector through the optical fiber cable and then connected to the fluorescent fiber optic temperature transmitter.
[0045] The fluorescent fiber optic temperature transmitter receives the optical signal, parses the temperature information, and transmits the temperature data to the Internet of Things gateway (accessed by the data acquisition unit) through the RS485 interface according to the Modbus RTU communication protocol.
[0046] The thermal imaging dual-spectrum network camera collects ordinary images and infrared thermal imaging images inside the cabinet in real time and transmits them to the switch through the RJ45 network port.
[0047] The switch aggregates the video data and transmits it to the IoT controller, which then transmits it to the IoT gateway. The camera's built-in fire and smoke detection algorithm analyzes the image. When fire or smoke is detected, an alarm is triggered. This information is transmitted to the IoT gateway module via the alarm output device. Images are captured through snapshots or event-based events and uploaded to the IoT backend for storage.
[0048] The data acquisition unit (USR-M300 IoT controller) collects temperature data and video data through the RS485 interface and LAN port respectively, and uses its edge computing capabilities to perform preliminary data processing (such as data filtering and format conversion).
[0049] The processed data is transmitted to the user-friendly cloud backend via a 4G cellular network (with a built-in SIM card), where it is then received by the monitoring center server. The monitoring center stores and analyzes the data, using pre-set algorithms (such as temperature trend analysis and abnormal temperature pattern recognition) to determine the health of the power circuit. Alarms are generated when temperatures exceed thresholds, when abnormal temperature rises occur, or when pyrotechnic signals are detected.
[0050] Users access the monitoring center server through the user interface to view real-time device data (such as busbar temperatures, cabinet temperature distribution, and video footage). The interface supports filtering data by device type, location, and other dimensions, and can retrieve historical data for comparative analysis and review alarm records and processing status.
[0051] When the monitoring center issues an alarm, the user interface displays the alarm information (such as alarm location, type, and time) in real time, and can link to view related video images and temperature data to assist operation and maintenance personnel in making decisions. When the fluorescent fiber optic temperature sensor detects that the copper busbar temperature exceeds the preset threshold (such as 120°C) or the temperature rise rate exceeds the set value (such as 5°C / min), the fluorescent fiber optic temperature transmitter transmits the alarm signal to the IoT gateway; the IoT controller triggers the linkage control to send instructions to the thermal imaging dual-spectrum network camera, causing it to focus on the alarm area and strengthen temperature monitoring and image acquisition.
[0052] The control signal is output through the DO interface to start the cooling fan in the cabinet (if configured); the monitoring center generates an alarm message and notifies the operation and maintenance personnel through the user interface, SMS, etc. When the thermal imaging dual-spectrum network camera detects a fire or smoke, the camera immediately transmits the alarm signal and related images to the IoT gateway; the IoT controller triggers an emergency linkage and outputs a signal through the DO interface to cut off the power supply of the relevant power circuit (must be configured in conjunction with the fan master control system).
[0053] The fire extinguishing device in the cabinet is activated, sending an emergency alarm message to the monitoring center, along with the alarm location and image. The monitoring center displays the emergency alarm through the user interface and simultaneously sends text messages and voice alarms to the operation and maintenance personnel, prompting them to take emergency action. When the data acquisition unit detects a data transmission anomaly (such as a communication interruption or data verification error) or an abnormal device status (such as a sensor failure), it generates an abnormality message and transmits it to the monitoring center via the communication network. The monitoring center displays the abnormal device status on the user interface, noting the location and type of the anomaly. Operation and maintenance personnel can remotely view the device status through the user interface and, if necessary, arrange on-site maintenance to ensure normal system operation.
[0054] Fluorescent fiber optic temperature sensor: Configurable temperature measurement range, accuracy calibration parameters, and temperature alarm thresholds (such as warning value 100°C, alarm value 120°C, emergency shutdown value 150°C) can be set according to the on-site environment.
[0055] Thermal imaging dual-spectrum network camera: Configure the temperature measurement area (such as selecting the copper busbar connection point), temperature measurement parameters (maximum temperature, average temperature), smoke and fire detection sensitivity (low, medium, high), and alarm delay time (to avoid false alarms).
[0056] Data acquisition unit: Configure the communication protocol (ModbusRTU, TCP / IP), data upload frequency (such as 10 seconds / time), and edge computing rules (such as data filtering threshold).
[0057] Regular inspections: Operation and maintenance personnel regularly log in to the user interface to check the equipment's operating status and data curves, and to check for any abnormal alarm records.
[0058] On-site maintenance: For faulty equipment (such as abnormal sensor signals or blurred camera images), we will go to the site to replace or repair the equipment according to the fault location indicated on the user interface.
[0059] Data backup: The monitoring center regularly backs up historical data to ensure data traceability and provide a basis for equipment maintenance and fault analysis.
[0060] System upgrade: Based on technological development and site requirements, remotely upgrade the monitoring center software and IoT controller firmware through the user interface to optimize system functions.
[0061] Working Principle: During wind turbine operation, a fluorescent fiber optic temperature sensor measures the temperature of the copper busbar between the generator-side circuit breaker and input and output cables, the copper busbar between the twisted cable platform conductor rail junction box and the input cable, the copper busbar between the generator-side power cabinet reactor and the incoming cable, and the copper busbar between the grid-side power incoming cabinet reactor and the output cable. The sensor converts the temperature information into an optical signal and transmits it to a fluorescent fiber optic temperature transmitter. The transmitter receives and analyzes the optical signal and transmits it to the IoT gateway via the RS485 interface using the Modbus RTU communication protocol.
[0062] Simultaneously, a thermal imaging dual-spectrum network camera monitors temperature and fire signals in the generator-side circuit breaker cabinet, conductor rail wiring cabinet, generator-side power cabinet, and grid-side power cabinet in real time. These signals are aggregated via an RJ45 network port to a switch, which then connects to an IoT controller, transmitting real-time conventional and infrared video data to the IoT gateway. When an alarm condition is triggered, the information is output to the IoT gateway's DI module via a connected alarm output device. Images are captured through snapshots or event-based linkage and uploaded to designated IoT backend storage.
[0063] The data acquisition unit (including the USR-M300 IoT controller) collects the aforementioned temperature signals and video data. Leveraging its integrated functions and supported protocols, it transmits this data via a communications network to a monitoring center. The monitoring center processes and analyzes the collected data, using pre-set algorithms to determine the health of the power circuit and issuing alerts if anomalies are detected. Users can access real-time device data, detailed information, configuration, video monitoring, real-time alarms, and historical data through the user interface.
