[0027] From the above, we know that the data acquisition unit collects anchor cable vibration signals, anchor cable strain data, temperature and humidity, wind speed, and tower surface stress distribution, and the entire monitoring process adopts a non-contact measurement method. It only needs to install a vibrating string sensor and a distributed optical fiber sensor on the anchor cable. In addition, the data preprocessing module uses wavelet packet transform and sliding median filtering to jointly denoise high-frequency electromagnetic interference and mechanical vibration noise. The joint algorithm significantly improves the signal quality in complex noise environments through the synergistic effect of frequency domain threshold and time domain median filtering. It is suitable for the high-precision requirements of wind turbine anchor cable tension monitoring, abandons the traditional method of using pressure sensors or strain gauges, and is conducive to real-time monitoring of anchor cable tension. Anchor cable health status assessment and early warning are achieved through the intelligent early warning unit. Based on the collaborative mechanism of the real-time assessment module, the abnormality type identification module and the graded early warning module, the safe operation and maintenance of wind turbine hybrid tower anchor cables are significantly improved. It can intuitively reflect the health of the anchor cables, and by capturing early minor abnormalities, potential risks are discovered in time and early warnings are issued, thereby improving the safety of anchor cable use.

[0028] The working principle of the present invention is: Vibrating string sensors are used to collect anchor cable vibration signals, distributed fiber optic sensors collect anchor cable strain data in real time, and the tension is calculated through wavelength offset. Environmental sensors collect temperature, humidity, wind speed, and stress distribution on the tower surface. Next, the data collector transmits the signals collected by the vibrating string sensors, distributed fiber optic sensors, and environmental sensors to the data preprocessing module. The data preprocessing module uses wavelet packet transform and sliding median filtering to jointly denoise high-frequency electromagnetic interference and mechanical vibration noise. The application steps of the data preprocessing module are as follows: Using wavelet packet decomposition, the signal decomposition into frequency bands by recursively applying low-pass and high-pass filters; The decomposition process is: set up and are the low-pass and high-pass filter coefficients respectively, and the decomposition formula is:

[0029] in represents the coefficient of the jth layer and the kth node, and the initial condition is ; Thresholding high frequency nodes: Perform threshold denoising on high-frequency nodes: set up is the high frequency node coefficient, and the noise standard deviation is:

[0030] Threshold for:

[0031] Apply a soft thresholding function:

[0032] Sliding median filter processes low-frequency nodes: Perform median filtering on low-frequency nodes; Median filter formula: Assume the window length is an odd number L, for the low frequency coefficient deal with:

[0033] The window length L is dynamically adjusted according to the signal's main frequency:

[0034] in is the sampling rate, is the main frequency of vibration; Wavelet packet reconstruction: Reconstruct the processed coefficients into time domain signals and reconstruct the formula:

[0035] in and is the reconstruction filter, which satisfies the biorthogonality condition; Sliding median post-processing: Reconstructed signal Perform the final smoothing:

[0036] The window half width , further suppressing the residual pulse; The signal processing module receives the signal transmitted by the data preprocessing module and transmits the signal to the signal conditioning circuit for amplification, filtering and analog-to-digital conversion. The embedded processor is used to perform fast Fourier transform on the signal processed by the signal conditioning circuit and extract the natural frequency of the anchor cable. The intelligent early warning unit receives the data information transmitted by the signal processing module and implements anchor cable health status assessment and early warning. The real-time assessment module evaluates the health status of the anchor cable: The multi-dimensional data transmitted by the input signal processing module includes strain data, environmental data, and vibration data; Health Index Calculation:

[0037] is the current measured tension, is the tension difference between adjacent anchor cables, is the correlation of adjacent sensor data, is the weight coefficient, HI represents the health index; The abnormality type recognition module can identify abnormalities in the health index (HI). If the HI drops by more than 15% or the high-frequency band of vibration energy surges, the anchor cable is instantly overloaded. If the HI drops by more than 0.5% per day for seven consecutive days or the environmental corrosion index exceeds the standard, the anchor cable will gradually fail. If the spatial gradient of the HI is abnormal or the energy of the characteristic frequency band of the acoustic emission signal changes, the anchor cable is locally damaged. When working through the graded warning module, if the tension of a single anchor cable suddenly changes by more than 15% and lasts for 5 minutes, a Level I warning will be triggered; if the tension difference of multiple anchor cables is more than 10% or the cumulative loss rate is more than 8% / year, a Level II warning will be triggered; The communication module can transmit system data information to the remote monitoring center through the Wi-Fi module, cellular network module or LoRa module, and the three-dimensional visualization module displays the anchor cable tension distribution and tower deformation trend, reflecting the health of the anchor cable more intuitively.
