Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

Therefore, the features limited by "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more than two, unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0021] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for monitoring the condition of a new energy wind turbine is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0022] This embodiment provides a condition monitoring method for new energy wind turbine generators. Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a condition monitoring method for new energy wind turbines according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps: Step S1: Using the rotational speed signal at the hub as a synchronization reference, the piezoelectric exciter at the leading edge of the blade is triggered to output an excitation signal. At the same time, acoustic wave data captured by the acoustic emission sensor is collected at the corresponding propagation paths from the blade tip, blade middle, blade root to the blade root.

[0023] In this embodiment, piezoelectric exciters (resonant frequency 200kHz) are embedded at the blade tip, middle, and root positions on the leading edge of the blade to actively emit detection sound waves; three broadband acoustic emission sensors (frequency response range 50-300kHz, sampling rate ≥1MHz) are installed at the blade root (0.5m from the hub) to receive sound wave signals from each propagation path from the blade tip, middle, and root; and a high-precision speed encoder (resolution 0.01°) is installed at the hub to obtain high-precision position signals of the blade rotation.

[0024] Signal acquisition uses the position signal from the speed encoder as the core synchronization reference. The synchronization controller receives this position signal in real time. When the blade rotates one revolution and reaches a specific reference angle, the speed encoder outputs a trigger pulse. After receiving the pulse, the synchronization controller immediately instructs the piezoelectric exciters at the blade tip, middle, and root to synchronously generate short 200kHz acoustic pulses. The acoustic waves propagate inward along the blade structure. At the same time, three broadband acoustic emission sensors at the blade root synchronously start high-speed acquisition, recording the acoustic wave signals after propagation through the blade material along each path, thus completely capturing the acoustic wave data of each corresponding propagation path from the blade tip, middle, and root to the root.

[0025] This step involves precisely deploying the aforementioned core components at key locations on the blades and hub, achieving millisecond-level time synchronization based on the rotation angle, and providing high-precision spatiotemporally aligned raw signals for subsequent signal analysis.

[0026] Step S2: Preprocess the acoustic wave data captured by the acoustic emission sensor.

[0027] In this embodiment, step S2 includes: Step S21, for each corresponding propagation path of the blade tip, the middle of the blade, the blade root to the blade root, the sound emission sensor captures the sound wave data is adaptively band-pass filtered.

[0028] Specifically, for the collected original sound signal, an adaptive band-pass filter with a passband of 180-220 kHz is used to effectively suppress wind field environmental noise and mechanical vibration interference generated by the operation of the fan, and to preliminarily screen out the sound wave frequency band related to icing detection, and not to rely on cumulative effect judgment, and to improve the early icing recognition ability.

[0029] Step S22, using the rotational speed signal at the hub as a reference, a rotational speed synchronous averaging algorithm is used to align and superimpose the sound wave data of a continuous preset number of rotations according to the rotation angle.

[0030] Specifically, the rotational speed synchronous averaging algorithm is used to strictly align and superimpose the sound signals of a continuous N rotations (N≥50) according to the blade rotation angle, further suppresses random noise, and ensures the effective extraction of micro time delay changes, thereby securing a key time window for subsequent deicing decision-making. The algorithm expression is as follows:

[0031] Among them, is the sound wave signal after averaging processing, is a time variable, is the number of signal averaging, is the rotation period sequence index, is the original sound wave signal collected in the kth rotation period, is the angle offset of the kth rotation period, is the instantaneous rotational speed of the fan.

[0032] Step S2 removes wind noise and mechanical vibration interference through adaptive filtering, and enhances the signal-to-noise ratio of the sound wave feature by using the rotational speed synchronous averaging algorithm, thereby ensuring the purity of the signal for subsequent analysis. The double noise reduction mechanism of the rotational speed synchronous averaging algorithm and the adaptive frequency band filter is used, the former strictly aligns and superimposes the sound signals according to the rotation angle, and effectively separates the periodic components related to the blade state; the latter selects a sound wave frequency band far from the main frequency of mechanical vibration, thereby avoiding the wide frequency vibration interference caused by the rotation of the wind wheel; this design optimizes from the source and transmission process of the signal, and overcomes the bottleneck of insufficient signal-to-noise ratio of traditional single sensor in strong noise environment; the adaptability of the system to dynamic working conditions such as sudden wind speed change and turbulence is significantly improved, and the false alarm rate is reduced.

[0033] Step S3, for each propagation path of the blade tip, the middle of the blade, the blade root to the blade root, the sound wave propagation time delay is extracted, and based on the continuous rotation period data, the sound wave propagation time delay change of each path in adjacent two rotation periods is calculated.

[0034] In the embodiment, the time delay (denoted as τ) of the excitation signal output by the piezoelectric exciter at the leading edge tip, middle and root positions of the blade is extracted and propagated to the corresponding wideband acoustic emission sensor at the blade root; based on the continuously collected rotating period data, the time delay variation of the same propagation path in adjacent two rotating periods is calculated, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0035] wherein, is the time delay variation of the acoustic wave, is the time delay of the acoustic wave in the nth rotation, is the time delay of the acoustic wave in the (n-1)th rotation.

[0036] Step S4, the correlation modeling of sound velocity-icing thickness is established, and the icing position determination coefficient is calculated according to the time delay variation of each path from the tip, middle and root of the blade to the blade root.

[0037] In the embodiment, first, the correlation model of the time delay variation of the acoustic wave and the icing thickness of the blade is established according to the propagation characteristics of the acoustic wave in the blade composite material, and the specific expression is as follows:

[0038] wherein, is the length of the acoustic wave propagation path, is the reference value of the acoustic velocity in the blade composite material, is the variation of the acoustic velocity, is the acoustic velocity attenuation coefficient of the ice layer, is the icing thickness.

[0039] On this basis, the icing position determination coefficient is calculated according to the time delay variation of each path from the tip, middle and root of the blade to the blade root, and then the icing area is determined according to the icing position determination coefficient. The calculation formula of the icing position determination coefficient is as follows:

[0040] wherein, is the icing position determination result, is the operator of the maximum value parameter, is the time delay variation of the tip sensor, is the time delay variation of the middle sensor, is the time delay variation of the root sensor, is the anti-zero minimum constant.

[0041] The step is based on the change in sound wave propagation time delay to construct an icing thickness quantification model, and the relative ratio of the change in multi-path time delay is combined to complete the spatial positioning of the icing area, and finally the double-dimensional detection capability of icing thickness and icing position is formed, which provides the core judgment basis for subsequent grading warning.

[0042] The present application establishes a direct physical correlation between sound speed attenuation and icing thickness by analyzing the change in sound wave propagation time delay in the blade material. Compared with the traditional monitoring method based on temperature threshold or vibration amplitude, the sound wave time delay is extremely sensitive to the micro changes of the material boundary layer, which can accurately capture the micro structural changes in the early stage of icing, and breaks through the limitation that the traditional method cannot perceive early icing.

[0043] Step S5, judging the icing state and area according to the time delay change of each propagation path, the time delay change rate in a unit rotation period, and the icing position determination coefficient.

[0044] In the embodiment, step S5 includes: Step S51, judging whether the time delay change of each propagation path exceeds the first preset value and whether the time delay change rate in a unit rotation period is greater than the second preset value.

[0045] Step S52, if the time delay change of each propagation path exceeds the first preset value and the time delay change rate in a unit rotation period is greater than the second preset value, judging the icing state and area according to the relationship between the icing position determination coefficient and the preset threshold.

[0046] Step S53, if the time delay change of each propagation path does not exceed the first preset value at the same time, or the time delay change rate in a unit rotation period is not greater than the second preset value, determining that the blade state is normal.

[0047] Specifically, the time delay change of each propagation path output by the receiving step S3, the icing position determination coefficient output by the step S4, and the length of a single rotation period fed back by the fan speed encoder are combined to calculate the time delay change rate (i.e. time delay gradient) in a unit rotation period. First, verify whether the time delay change of all propagation paths exceeds 0.2 microseconds, and verify whether the time delay change rate in a unit rotation period is greater than 0.05 microseconds / revolution. If both conditions are met, further locate the icing area of the blade based on the icing position determination coefficient; if any condition is not met (i.e. not all path time delay changes exceed 0.2 microseconds, or the time delay change rate is not greater than 0.05 microseconds / revolution), it is determined that the blade is in a normal state without icing. The first preset value is 0.2 microseconds, and the second preset value is 0.05 microseconds / revolution.

[0048] In an alternative embodiment, step S52 includes: Step S521, when the icing position determination coefficient is not less than the first threshold value, but less than the second threshold value, it is determined that icing occurs in the middle of the blade, the second threshold value is greater than the first threshold value.

[0049] Step S522, when the icing position determination coefficient is not less than the second threshold value, but less than the third threshold value, it is determined that icing occurs at the tip of the blade, the third threshold value is greater than the second threshold value.

[0050] Step S523, when the icing position determination coefficient is less than the first threshold value, or not less than the third threshold value, it is determined that icing occurs at the root of the blade.

[0051] In this embodiment, the determination rule of the icing area is as follows: if 0.3≤icing position determination coefficient<0.7, it is determined that icing occurs in the middle of the blade; if 0.7≤icing position determination coefficient<1.3, it is determined that icing occurs at the tip of the blade; and other cases (i.e. icing position determination coefficient<0.3 or ≥1.3) are all classified as icing at the root of the blade. Among them, the first threshold value is 0.3, the second threshold value is 0.7, and the third threshold value is 1.3.

[0052] Step S5, by comprehensively integrating the sound wave propagation time delay variation of each propagation path, the time delay gradient (i.e. time delay variation rate) in a unit rotation period, and the icing position determination coefficient, relying on multi-dimensional threshold determination logic, the icing state (with or without icing) and the specific area of the blade are accurately determined, and finally the decision transformation from the physical detection signal to the icing fault classification is completed.

[0053] The present application determines the icing area based on the relative relationship of the time delay variation of multiple excitation-sensing paths, without the need to increase a dense sensor network on the surface of the blade; by calculating the time delay gradient ratio of different blade sections (tip, middle, root), the spatial characteristics of the difference of the sound wave propagation paths are utilized to directly deduce the axial position where icing occurs; this method forms a distributed perception of the overall structural state of the blade, and does not rely on auxiliary means such as vision or infrared which are easily affected by the environment; the positioning result and the thickness evaluation are output synchronously, providing spatial dimension basis for accurate deicing strategy.

[0054] The present application integrates the time delay variation, gradient and positioning coefficient into a hierarchical decision rule, establishes a closed-loop response link from the icing state to the control action; the system triggers a gradual warning according to the consistency result of the continuous detection period, avoiding false actions caused by single fluctuations; at the same time, based on the thickness evaluation result derived from the physical model, it is directly linked to the differentiated operation and maintenance instructions; this design deeply couples state recognition and control logic, reduces the manual intervention link, improves the response real-time performance, and ensures that the operation and maintenance actions match the actual icing risk.

[0055] The application provides a state monitoring method for a new energy wind turbine.

[0056] In an alternative embodiment, the method further comprises: Step S6, generating a blade surface icing position distribution heat map on a monitoring interface based on the icing determination result.

[0057] In this embodiment, based on the icing determination result output by step S5, a blade surface icing position distribution heat map is generated on a visualization interface of a wind farm central monitoring platform. The heat map is dynamically superimposed on a three-dimensional model of the wind turbine blade, and the icing severity of each region is intuitively mapped through different color depths, so that the operation and maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately grasp the blade icing situation.

[0058] Step S7, triggering a hierarchical early warning mechanism when icing is continuously monitored in multiple complete rotation periods.

[0059] In this embodiment, when the system continuously monitors icing in 5 complete rotation periods, a hierarchical early warning and response mechanism is automatically triggered, and the specific rules are as follows: If the average icing thickness is less than 2 mm, a first level response is started, the yaw system is adjusted to reduce the wind angle of the blade, and the icing growth rate is reduced; if the icing thickness is in the range of 2 mm to 5 mm, a second level response is triggered, the generator output power is reduced to a safe threshold range, and the equipment is stabilized; if the icing thickness exceeds 5 mm, a third highest level of early warning is immediately started: the power connection is quickly cut off and the emergency stop operation is performed, and the blade heating deicing system is activated to prevent safety risks.

[0060] All early warning levels, accurate icing positions, ice thickness change trends and corresponding disposal actions are pushed to the wind farm central control platform in real time and complete logs are automatically stored. This step visually presents the icing situation through the icing position heat map, triggers the hierarchical control strategies such as yaw adjustment, power reduction operation and emergency stop, and finally builds a full-process closed-loop response mechanism from detection to execution, ensuring that the icing risk is quickly and accurately disposed.
