Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fan operation monitoring, in particular to a fan operation abnormal vibration monitoring method and system based on multi-sensor fusion. BACKGROUND
[0002] The environment where the coastal or offshore fan is located is extremely harsh, and it is long-term in the complex environment of high salt fog, high humidity and strong wind and wave during operation, and such environmental factors will affect the vibration characteristics of the fan.
[0003] For example, on the one hand, the periodic changes of strong wind and tide on the sea will have a combined effect on the fan, the strong wind makes the fan blade vibrate, and the tide rise and fall changes the hydrodynamic environment around the fan foundation, the interaction of the two may cause the modulation phenomenon of low-frequency vibration of the fan, and such low-frequency modulation will mask the early fault characteristics of the fan, and the traditional monitoring method is difficult to detect the early signs of failure, resulting in failure to discover in time, increasing the risk of fan damage; on the other hand, the fan blade is usually made of glass fiber / carbon fiber composite material, and such composite material has hygroscopicity, when running in the coastal high humidity environment for a long time, the blade will absorb water, causing the material elastic modulus to change, the density to increase, the damping characteristics to enhance the toughening effect, and then change the natural frequency and vibration response characteristics of the blade, and also change the propagation speed and attenuation performance of the sound wave in the acoustic monitoring of the blade, and many changes may affect the system to diagnose the blade modal change caused by humidity saturation as internal structure delamination, web cracking and other damage, thereby causing false abnormal alarm, making it difficult for operation and maintenance personnel to accurately judge whether the fan has really failed, increasing the operation and maintenance cost and workload.
[0004] The prior art has the following disadvantages: the existing fan vibration monitoring technology has the following limitations: first, the existing technology mainly uses a single type of sensor, lacks deep fusion of multi-physical field data, and cannot fully obtain the information of the fan operation state; second, the environmental impact factors are not considered, resulting in a high false alarm rate, which brings great trouble to operation and maintenance work; finally, it lacks self-adaptive learning ability and cannot adapt to the dynamic changes of the offshore environment, so that the monitoring effect of the monitoring system under different environmental conditions is unstable; therefore, it is urgent to propose a fan operation abnormal vibration monitoring method and system based on multi-sensor fusion, which can accurately monitor and reliably identify the abnormal vibration of the fan in the complex environment of the coastal or offshore wind farm, effectively distinguish between normal changes caused by environmental factors and real fault abnormalities, thereby reducing the false alarm rate, realizing early detection and accurate diagnosis of faults, and improving the safety and reliability of fan operation.
[0005] The above information disclosed in the BACKGROUND section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and therefore it can include information that does not constitute prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art. SUMMARY
