[0002] In the field of industrial automation, especially in complex systems such as wind power generation, traditional control systems often rely on fixed algorithms and regular maintenance strategies, which are difficult to adapt to changes in the environment and the state of the equipment in real time. In the prior art, the control system of a wind turbine mainly has the following problems:

The scanning range covers an area of ​​50 meters before and after the impeller's rotation plane, with a spatial resolution controlled to ≤0.5 meters. The wind measurement frequency is set to ≥20Hz to ensure a data update delay of ≤50 milliseconds. Simultaneously, an adaptive noise suppression algorithm is integrated to maintain a wind measurement error of ≤0.2 m / s under turbulence intensity ≥15%. A turbulence compensation module utilizes Kalman filtering to eliminate wind speed pulsation noise, and a hardware synchronization interface ensures a clock deviation of ≤1μs with the yaw motor encoder.

[0114] Multi-source sensors begin to operate, collecting data such as vibration, temperature, torque, and power of the wind turbine equipment, providing basic data for the digital twin management module.

[0115] Intelligent yaw and pitch control

[0116] The lidar anemometer collects real-time wind data and transmits it to the AI ​​prediction model in real time through the robot operating system middleware. At the same time, the AI ​​prediction model obtains historical wind speed data.

A long short-term memory (LSTM) network layer extracts time-series features from historical wind speed data, while a convolutional neural network layer processes the 3D wind field spatial distribution data generated by a lidar anemometer. An attention mechanism module dynamically weights features at different time scales and spatial locations, outputting the probability distribution of wind direction changes in the next 0.3-0.7 seconds. During the training phase, the model is pre-trained using ERA5 and then analyzed with meteorological data. It is then fine-tuned by expanding the sample size to five times the original data using wind farm SCADA data and leveraging a generative adversarial network. Finally, a dynamic loss function is used for optimization during the online learning phase.

[0124] Edge computing node processing and data synchronization

[0125] The edge computing node deployed at the bottom of the wind turbine tower locally processes the lidar wind measurement data and sensor data, executes real-time inference of the AI prediction model, and reduces the cloud communication delay.

[0126] Store the operation data of the last 72 hours to support independent control under the condition of network disconnection.

[0127] Adopt a lightweight deep learning framework, control the number of model parameters ≤ 500,000, and ensure the inference speed ≥ 30 frames / second. Synchronize data with the cloud platform through a 5G / fiber dual-link. If the communication is interrupted, automatically cache the data and upload it after the communication is restored.

[0128] Adaptive control decision unit decision-making

[0129] According to the remaining useful life of the equipment predicted by the digital twin module, divide the equipment health status into three levels: healthy (RUL > 5000 hours), sub-healthy (2000 hours < RUL ≤ 5000 hours), and critical failure (RUL ≤ 2000 hours);

[0130] For equipment in different health states, dynamically adjust the maintenance strategy: for healthy equipment, maintain the regular inspection cycle; for sub-healthy equipment, shorten the inspection cycle to 50% of the original cycle, and increase the special inspections of lubricant detection and infrared thermal imaging; for critical failure equipment, immediately arrange for shutdown and maintenance. At the same time, combined with the wind farm power prediction system, prioritize the maintenance tasks during low wind speed periods to reduce power generation losses.

[0131] In addition, the adaptive control decision unit plays a dynamic parameter optimization function, establishes a multi-objective optimization model of power generation efficiency η and equipment wear rate ω, uses the NSGA-II algorithm to solve the Pareto optimal solution set, and adjusts the matching relationship between the yaw angle and the pitch rate in real time to achieve the coordinated improvement of power generation efficiency and equipment life;

[0132] Human-computer interaction interface display
