[0043] Figure 2 This is an example diagram of a state machine structure provided in an embodiment of the present invention;

[0044] Figure 3 This is a structural block diagram of a dirt detection device for an air clearance radar lens provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] During the operation of wind turbine generators, dynamic conditions such as turbulence and extreme wind speeds, coupled with the trend of larger blades (such as increased length and intensified flexible deformation), can easily lead to blade-tower sweep risks. Such incidents can cause structural damage to the blades and towers at best, and tower collapse at worst, resulting in significant economic losses for wind farm operators and turbine manufacturers.

[0047] Air clearance radar technology can effectively prevent tower sweeping accidents and eliminate power limitation caused by safety concerns in existing units by monitoring the blade-to-tower distance in real time, thus significantly increasing power generation. In new units, it can optimize blade design redundancy and reduce the load design pressure on the unit.

[0048] Airspace clearance radar lenses are exposed to complex environments such as wind, sand, rain, snow, and salt spray for extended periods. Contaminant deposits can significantly attenuate laser signal transmission and reception, leading to reduced or even complete loss of the radar's ranging and reflectivity measurement capabilities, directly threatening the reliability of monitoring the safe operation of the aircraft. Therefore, to ensure the normal operation of the airspace clearance radar, it is necessary to regularly check for dirt on the radar lenses and promptly alert maintenance personnel to remove any dirt found.

[0049] Current mainstream solutions in the industry have obvious shortcomings: regular cleaning (usually every 3 months) maintenance lacks specificity and carries the risk of over-maintenance or under-maintenance; traditional methods for detecting dirt in airspace radar lenses have low data efficiency and high false alarm rates, resulting in a serious waste of operation and maintenance resources.

[0050] The following combination Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for detecting dirt in a radar lens provided in an embodiment of the present invention, the method may include:

[0051] S101: Multiple sensor data are collected based on multiple sensors during the current detection cycle; the multiple sensor data includes wind turbine environmental data and wind turbine operation data.

[0052] In this embodiment, to achieve high-precision intelligent identification of dirt on the airspace radar lens, a multi-source heterogeneous sensor data acquisition network can be constructed first. Multi-dimensional environmental and unit status data can be acquired through a high-precision sensor array, and the acquired data can be transmitted in real time to the SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system data platform.

[0053] This embodiment does not limit the sampling frequency of the sensor, nor does it limit the specific types of various sensors; the settings can be based on the actual application. Generally, the sampling frequency of the sensor can be 1Hz, and various sensors can include: wind speed and direction sensors, temperature and humidity sensors, vibration monitoring sensors, rainfall measurement sensors, and ambient light sensors.

[0054] Wind speed and direction sensors can be used to obtain the real-time wind speed and direction of the current unit; temperature and humidity sensors can be used to obtain the current ambient temperature and humidity; vibration monitoring sensors can be used to monitor the current vibration of the unit; rainfall sensors can be used to monitor the current weather conditions; and ambient light sensors can be used to monitor ambient visibility.

[0055] This embodiment allows setting the detection cycle for dirt detection on the air clearance radar lens. The duration of the detection cycle can be set based on actual applications, typically 24 hours. Within the current detection cycle, this embodiment can collect various sensor data, including wind turbine environmental data and wind turbine operating data.

[0056] S102: Obtain the ranging data collected by the wind turbine's airspace radar during the current detection cycle, and determine the proportion of abnormal values ​​based on the proportion of abnormal return values ​​for lens dirt in the ranging data.

[0057] In this embodiment, the clearance radar can employ three independently calibrated 905nm laser beams to achieve millimeter-level precision measurement of the clearance distance between the wind turbine blade and the tower, as well as prediction of distance change trends, by detecting the clearance distance at three different positions on the blade. The normal ranging range of the clearance radar is 0~15000cm (corresponding to 0-150m, covering mainstream tower heights), and the sampling frequency of the clearance radar ranging data can be synchronized with the sensor sampling frequency.

[0058] Air clearance radar technology can effectively prevent tower sweeping accidents by monitoring the distance between the blades and the tower in real time. In this embodiment, the ranging data collected by the air clearance radar of the wind turbine in the current detection cycle can be obtained, and the proportion of abnormal values ​​can be determined based on the proportion of abnormal return values ​​of lens dirt in the ranging data.

[0059] Lens dirt abnormal return value generally refers to abnormal return value in the ranging data that is related to lens dirt, such as the 65535 return value. Therefore, in this embodiment, the proportion of abnormal values ​​can be determined based on the proportion of lens dirt abnormal return values ​​in the ranging data, that is, the proportion of lens dirt abnormal return values ​​in the ranging data.

[0060] However, since there may be other abnormal return values ​​in the ranging data besides the 65535 return value, this embodiment can delete the data other than the abnormal return value of lens dirt and the normal ranging value in the initial ranging data to obtain the ranging data; the proportion of abnormal return values ​​of lens dirt in the total data volume of the ranging data is determined as the abnormal value proportion.

[0061] S103: Determine the compensation coefficient of each sensor based on sensor data, and determine the operating condition weight of each sensor based on the contribution of the dirt status of sensor data.

[0062] S104: Correction coefficient for determining the proportion of outliers based on the operating condition weights and compensation coefficients of each sensor.

[0063] Because the 65535 return value has multiple causes, typical operating conditions for abnormal 65535 return values ​​include: lens dirt; communication abnormalities: hardware failures such as loose connectors; environmental interference: rainy or foggy weather, sandstorms, freezing, etc.; unit vibration; biological interference: birds flying over the detection area.

[0064] In other words, apart from lens dirt, the 65535 return value can be generated by other operating conditions. Therefore, this embodiment can use cross-validation of multiple sensor data to determine the correction coefficient for the proportion of outliers.

[0065] This embodiment does not limit the specific method for determining the correction coefficient for the proportion of outliers. Generally, the compensation coefficient of each sensor can be determined based on the sensor data, the operating weight of each sensor can be determined based on the contribution of the dirt status of the sensor data, and the correction coefficient for the proportion of outliers can be determined based on the operating weight and compensation coefficient of each sensor.

[0066] This embodiment does not limit the specific method of determining the compensation coefficient of each sensor. Generally, the compensation coefficient of the corresponding sensor can be obtained by analyzing the sensor data. For example, in this embodiment, the wind speed compensation coefficient of the wind speed and wind direction sensor, the vibration compensation coefficient of the vibration monitoring sensor, the freezing compensation coefficient of the temperature and humidity sensor, the rain and fog compensation coefficient of the rainfall metering sensor, and the sandstorm compensation coefficient of the ambient light sensor can be determined.

[0067] In this embodiment, the compensation coefficient of each sensor can be set within a certain range. For example, the wind speed compensation coefficient can be in the range of 0.8 to 1 (inversely proportional to the square of the wind speed); the vibration compensation coefficient can be in the range of 0.8 to 1 (linearly related to the vibration amplitude); the freezing compensation coefficient can be in the range of 0.8 to 1 (calculated based on the temperature gradient); the rain and fog compensation coefficient can be in the range of 0.8 to 1 (related to the relative humidity index); and the sandstorm compensation coefficient can be in the range of 0.8 to 1 (determined based on the visibility model).

[0068] This embodiment can determine the operating weight of each sensor based on the contribution of the dirt state to the sensor data. This embodiment does not limit the specific method of determining the contribution of the dirt state. It can be determined by the compensation coefficient of the sensor. For example, the larger the compensation coefficient, the higher the contribution of the dirt state and the higher its corresponding operating weight.

[0069] This embodiment can also determine the contribution of the contamination state through information entropy. Specifically, firstly, the information entropy of each sensor can be determined, and the contribution of the sensor data to the contamination state can be determined based on the information entropy. Then, the contribution of the contamination state of each sensor data is summed to obtain the total contribution of the contamination state. The proportion of the contribution of the sensor data to the total contribution of the contamination state is determined as the operating condition weight of the sensor.

[0070] The calculation method for load condition weights can be shown in the following formula:

[0071] ;

[0072] In the formula, W i E represents the operating condition weight of the i-th sensor. i Let E be the information entropy of the i-th sensor. k Let be the information entropy of the k-th sensor, and n be the total number of sensors, 1-E i The contribution of the dirt status to the i-th sensor.

[0073] Each compensation coefficient can correspond to a working condition weight. In this embodiment, the correction coefficient for the proportion of outliers can be determined based on the working condition weights and compensation coefficients of each sensor.

[0074] This embodiment does not limit the specific method for determining the correction coefficient. Generally, the compensation coefficient can be weighted and summed using operating condition weights, and the summation result can be divided by the total number of sensors, as shown in the following formula:

[0075] ;

[0076] In the formula, T is the correction coefficient, n is the total number of sensors, and W i Let D be the operating condition weight for the i-th sensor. i Let be the compensation coefficient for the i-th sensor.

[0077] In this embodiment, considering the correlation between the sensor data from the previous detection cycle and the sensor data from the current detection cycle, the initial correction coefficient T for the proportion of outliers in the current detection cycle is determined based on the operating condition weights and compensation coefficients of each sensor. origin Obtain the historical correction coefficient T from the previous detection period. historyThe forgetting factor δ is determined, and the initial correction coefficient and historical correction coefficients are weighted and summed based on the forgetting factor to obtain the correction coefficient T for the current detection period, as shown in the following formula:

[0078] T=(1-δ)T origin +δT history .

[0079] S105: The outlier ratio is corrected based on the correction coefficient to obtain the target outlier ratio, and the dirt detection result of the airspace radar lens is determined based on the target outlier ratio.

[0080] This embodiment can obtain the target outlier ratio by correcting the outlier ratio based on the correction coefficient, as shown in the following formula:

[0081] P=T*ω;

[0082] In the formula, P is the target anomaly ratio, ω is the outlier ratio, and T is the correction coefficient.

[0083] After the correction is completed, this embodiment can determine the dirt detection result of the airspace radar lens based on the proportion of outliers in the target. This embodiment does not limit the specific method of determining the dirt detection result of the airspace radar lens. Generally, various lens dirt states can be set, and each lens dirt state can correspond to a dirt level. The dirt level can be divided by setting an outlier percentage threshold. For example, the outlier percentage threshold for the normal state can be set to 0~10%. When the target outlier percentage is within the outlier percentage threshold range of the normal state, it can be determined that the lens is in normal condition and is free of dirt.

[0084] Specifically, this embodiment can achieve lens contamination detection by setting a state machine. A state machine containing multiple lens contamination states can be set, and the state transition rules for each lens contamination state are determined based on the outlier percentage threshold. The execution actions after the state transition of each lens contamination state are set. The lens contamination detection result of the air clearance radar is obtained by detecting the outlier percentage of the target based on the state machine.

[0085] An example of the overall architecture diagram of a state machine can be found as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the lens dirt status can include: normal status, warning level status, alarm level status and fault level status, and each lens dirt status corresponds to an abnormal value percentage threshold.

[0086] For example, when the target anomaly percentage P < 10%, the airspace radar is in normal condition; when the target anomaly percentage 10% ≤ P < 20%, the event is recorded and a "suspected minor dirtiness warning for airspace radar lens" is output to the SCADA system, i.e., warning level; when the target anomaly percentage recovers to P < 10% after a period of time, the "suspected minor dirtiness warning for airspace radar lens" record is cleared, and the airspace radar is in normal condition; when the target anomaly percentage 20% ≤ P < 30%, the event is recorded and a "moderate dirtiness alarm for airspace radar lens" is output to the SCADA system, i.e., alarm level; when the target anomaly percentage recovers to 10% ≤ P < 20% after a period of time, the "moderate dirtiness alarm for airspace radar lens" record is cleared, and the airspace radar is in warning level; when the target anomaly percentage P ≥ 30%, the event is recorded, the system is stopped and locked, and a "severe dirtiness fault for airspace radar lens" is output to the SCADA system, i.e. fault level; then, manual cleaning is notified, the system is reset, and relevant data for this fault are recorded.

[0087] Since determining the correction coefficient in practical applications requires a large amount of computing resources, which is inefficient and costly, this embodiment can introduce a neural network model to replace the calculation process of the correction coefficient.

[0088] Specifically, in this embodiment, multiple sensor data collected in each historical detection cycle can be used as a sample, and the correction coefficient of the proportion of outliers in the historical detection cycle can be determined as the sample label.

[0089] The modified coefficient prediction model is trained based on the dataset constructed from the samples and sample labels. This embodiment does not limit the specific type of the modified coefficient prediction model, but it can generally be an LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) model.

[0090] The input layer of the LSTM model has a dimension of 5 (corresponding to 5 sensor features); its architecture can adopt a two-layer LSTM design. The first layer can contain 96 units to capture short-term patterns (<30 seconds), such as sudden oil splashes; the second layer can contain 48 units to learn long-term dependencies (>5 minutes), such as slow dust accumulation; the Dropout layer can be set with a dropout rate of 0.2~0.3 to prevent overfitting; the output layer outputs the predicted correction coefficients.

[0091] Multiple sensor data obtained in the current detection period are used as target data. The target data is input into the trained correction coefficient prediction model to obtain the output correction coefficient. The outlier ratio in the current detection period is corrected based on the correction coefficient to obtain the target outlier ratio.
