Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fault diagnosis technology, specifically relating to a method and system for fault diagnosis of wind turbine tower bolts based on multi-source data fusion. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the wind power industry, the operational reliability and safety of wind turbine towers, as key supporting structures, are of paramount importance. Under complex loads such as bolt preload and wind loads, towers are prone to various faults, which seriously affect the stable operation and service life of wind power systems. Therefore, accurate fault diagnosis is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of towers and is of great significance for improving wind power generation efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.

[0003] Existing technologies still have many shortcomings, including:

[0004] 1) Single data source: Most existing methods rely excessively on data from a single vibration sensor. However, vibration signals are easily affected by environmental noise (such as wind noise and electromagnetic interference) and changes in operating conditions (such as wind speed and power output), resulting in low signal-to-noise ratios and difficulties in feature extraction. Vibration characteristics caused by bolt faults are often weak and easily masked, making it difficult to accurately identify faults in the early stages using only vibration signals.

[0005] 2) High cost and low efficiency: Existing technologies often rely on manual inspections for regular inspections, which are costly, inefficient, and pose safety risks, making it difficult to meet the needs of large wind farms for real-time monitoring of equipment status.

[0006] 3) Insufficient information utilization: Some existing multi-source data fusion methods often only perform simple splicing, weighted averaging, or principal component analysis (PCA) on data from different sensors (such as vibration, stress, and temperature). This superficial fusion fails to deeply explore the potential coupling relationships and complementary information between different physical quantities. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the problems of single data source, high cost, low efficiency, and insufficient information utilization in existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a method and system for diagnosing wind turbine tower bolt faults based on multi-source data fusion.

[0008] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0009] A method for diagnosing wind turbine tower bolt faults based on multi-source data fusion includes the following steps:

[0010] A wind turbine tower bolt fault diagnosis architecture is constructed, consisting of a multi-source data acquisition layer, a multi-source data fusion layer, and a wind turbine tower bolt fault diagnosis layer connected in sequence.

[0011] The data acquisition layer of the wind turbine tower bolt fault diagnosis architecture is used to collect multi-source data of wind turbine tower bolts and preprocess it to obtain multi-source bolt axial stress data.

[0012] Using the multi-source data fusion layer of the wind turbine tower bolt fault diagnosis architecture, the axial stress data of multi-source bolts is processed and fused to obtain multi-source sensitive modal components.

[0013] The wind turbine tower bolt fault diagnosis layer, which uses a wind turbine tower bolt fault diagnosis architecture, performs bolt fault diagnosis on multi-source sensitive signal components to obtain the bolt fault diagnosis results of the wind turbine tower.

[0014] Furthermore, a wind turbine tower bolt fault diagnosis architecture is constructed, comprising a multi-source data acquisition layer, a multi-source data fusion layer, and a wind turbine tower bolt fault diagnosis layer connected in sequence, including the following steps:

[0018] Construct a fault diagnosis layer for wind turbine tower bolts, and set up a correlation comparison module, a fault judgment module, and a bolt fault diagnosis module;

[0019] The multi-source data acquisition layer, the multi-source data fusion layer, and the wind turbine tower bolt fault diagnosis layer are connected sequentially to obtain the wind turbine tower bolt fault diagnosis architecture.

[0020] Furthermore, the multi-source data includes simulated bolt axial stress data, measured bolt displacement data, and the first measured bolt axial stress data.

[0021] Furthermore, using the data acquisition layer of the wind turbine tower bolt fault diagnosis architecture, multi-source data of the wind turbine tower bolts is collected and preprocessed to obtain multi-source bolt axial stress data, including the following steps:

[0024] Using the data acquisition layer of the wind turbine tower bolt fault diagnosis architecture, simulated bolt axial stress data, measured bolt displacement data, and first measured bolt axial stress data are collected to obtain multi-source data of wind turbine tower bolts.

[0025] The measured bolt displacement data were sequentially denoised and converted to obtain the corresponding second measured bolt axial stress data.

[0026] By integrating the simulated bolt axial stress data corresponding to wind load and preload, the first measured bolt axial stress data, and the second measured bolt axial stress data, multi-source bolt axial stress data is obtained.

[0027] Furthermore, using the multi-source data fusion layer of the wind turbine tower bolt fault diagnosis architecture, the axial stress data of multi-source bolts are processed and fused to obtain multi-source sensitive modal components, including the following steps:

[0029] Using the wind load normalization module, the axial stress data of multi-source bolts is normalized by wind load to obtain the axial stress data of multi-source bolts after wind load normalization.

[0030] The modal decomposition module was used to perform modal decomposition on the wind load normalized multi-source bolt axial stress data to obtain multi-source modal components.

[0031] The modal component clustering module is used to perform modal component clustering on multi-source modal components to obtain a multi-source scatter plot;

[0032] The sensitive component filtering module is used to filter the multi-source modal components in the multi-source scatter plot to obtain the multi-source sensitive modal components.

[0033] Furthermore, the multi-source sensitive modal components include the simulated sensitive modal components corresponding to the simulated bolt axial stress data, the first measured sensitive modal components corresponding to the first measured bolt axial stress data, and the second measured sensitive modal components corresponding to the measured bolt displacement data.

[0034] Furthermore, using the wind turbine tower bolt fault diagnosis layer of the wind turbine tower bolt fault diagnosis architecture, bolt fault diagnosis is performed on multi-source sensitive signal components to obtain the bolt fault diagnosis results of the wind turbine tower, including the following steps:

[0035] The multi-source sensitive mode components, including the simulated sensitive mode component, the first measured sensitive mode component, and the second measured sensitive mode component, are input into the wind turbine tower bolt fault diagnosis layer of the wind turbine tower bolt fault diagnosis architecture.

[0036] The correlation comparison module is used to obtain the correlation coefficients between the simulated sensitive modal components, the first measured sensitive modal component, and the second measured sensitive modal component.

[0037] The fault diagnosis module is used to determine whether the correlation coefficient is less than the correlation coefficient threshold. If it is less, the process proceeds to the next step and triggers the bolt fault diagnosis process. Otherwise, data collection continues.

[0038] Based on the simulated sensitive mode components, the first measured sensitive mode component, and the second measured sensitive mode component, the bolt fault diagnosis module is used to perform bolt fault diagnosis and obtain the bolt fault diagnosis results of the wind turbine tower.

[0039] Furthermore, the bolt fault diagnosis module is equipped with a bolt fault diagnosis model, which is constructed based on the LSTM-Attention-MLP algorithm. The bolt fault diagnosis model includes a feature extractor constructed based on the LSTM algorithm, a weighted fusion unit constructed based on the Attention mechanism, and a bolt fault diagnosticer constructed based on the MLP algorithm, which are connected in sequence.

[0042] Using a feature extractor, the simulation data features of the simulation sensitive modal component, the first measured data features of the first measured sensitive modal component, and the second measured data features of the second measured sensitive modal component are extracted respectively.

[0043] Based on the dynamic attention weight values, a weighted fusion builder is used to weight and fuse the simulation data features, the first measured data features, and the second measured data features to obtain the weighted fused features.

[0044] Based on the weighted fusion characteristics, a bolt fault diagnostic tool is used to perform bolt fault diagnosis and obtain the bolt fault diagnosis results for the wind turbine tower.

[0045] A wind turbine tower bolt fault diagnosis system based on multi-source data fusion is used to realize the fault diagnosis method of wind turbine tower bolts. The system includes an architecture construction unit, a data acquisition unit, a data processing and fusion unit, and a bolt fault diagnosis unit connected in sequence.

[0046] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0047] This invention provides a method and system for fault diagnosis of wind turbine tower bolts based on multi-source data fusion. By collecting and fusing multi-source data (such as simulation data and measured stress data), it overcomes the limitations of traditional methods that rely on only a single vibration signal or a few measurement points. It can capture the structural state information of the tower from a broader perspective, making the diagnostic foundation more solid and comprehensive. Based on the wind turbine tower bolt fault diagnosis architecture, it performs automated data acquisition, processing, and fault diagnosis, avoiding manual inspection, reducing labor costs, minimizing human intervention, and improving fault diagnosis efficiency. Through steps such as wind load normalization, modal decomposition, clustering, and sensitive component screening, it performs in-depth processing of multi-source stress data, extracting modal components that are more sensitive to faults, removing redundant information and noise interference, and providing high-quality input for subsequent fault diagnosis. It is more sensitive to weak signal changes caused by early faults, enabling earlier identification of potential fault signs, achieving early warning, and gaining valuable time for maintenance decisions. More comprehensive information and a more intelligent fusion mechanism help distinguish real fault signals from background noise or normal fluctuations caused by changes in operating conditions, thereby reducing false alarms and missed alarms.

[0085] In the formula, The normalized stress signal is used to make the wind load-related stress close to 1 after normalization, thereby highlighting other components such as fault-related stress. After normalization, the background stress caused by wind load is eliminated, and fault stress becomes the dominant feature.

[0086] In the original stress, wind load-related stress accounts for 60% - 80%, which is the main background component. Wind load normalization eliminates the background stress fluctuations caused by wind load through data processing, making fault-related stress (accounting for <20%) the dominant feature, which facilitates subsequent accurate identification of faults such as bolt loosening, crack initiation, bolt corrosion and bolt breakage.

Theoretically, it should be set to 1, but due to the random fluctuations in the operating state of wind turbines, the failure frequency will fluctuate. For accurate clustering, it can be... The value is set to around 0.8, which means that the fluctuation of about 20% of the optimal amplitude after the fault frequency is mapped is regarded as a potential fault-related component;

[0111] S3-5: Use the sensitive component filtering module to perform sensitive component filtering on the multi-source modal components in the multi-source scatter plot to obtain the multi-source sensitive modal components.

[0112] Using the sensitive component filtering module, based on the scatter plot, it is easy to filter out high-amplitude sensitive points, i.e., multi-source modal components containing fault information. A sorting algorithm is used to sort the data from highest to lowest amplitude. Sort the data and select the first few items after sorting. The highest amplitude (Set an amplitude threshold, for example, only amplitudes greater than 0.05). The threshold is set very small because the amplitudes of sensitive components and insensitive components differ greatly after clustering; only high amplitudes need to be extracted. Thus, multi-source sensitive mode components are obtained;

If the Pearson correlation coefficient is less than the threshold, then... If the value is less than 0.85, it is considered a fault, and the process proceeds to the next step, triggering the bolt fault diagnosis process; otherwise, data acquisition continues.
