[0027] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to explain the technical solutions of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0028] In order to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the specific embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] The main solution of the embodiments of the present application is: when the power supply voltage state information of the wind turbine bearing is abnormal, the abnormal working condition level is identified, and the corresponding target monitoring mode is matched according to the abnormal working condition level; In the target monitoring mode, the high-frequency vibration signal is monitored, the vibration heat generation is determined according to the high-frequency vibration signal, and the vibration-heat release curve is established according to the vibration heat generation and the temperature control characteristics of the phase change material; Based on the vibration-heat release curve, the predicted output voltage of the thermoelectric module is predicted, the inertia data of the voltage change is determined according to the predicted output voltage, and the target heat release rate curve of the phase change material is determined according to the inertia data; Based on the target heat release rate curve, the phase change material is controlled to release heat, so that the thermoelectric module stably outputs voltage.

[0030] At present, wind turbine is usually operated in harsh and remote environment, and the failure rate of the main bearing and gearbox bearing, which are the core components of the transmission chain, is high, and the maintenance cost is huge. In the prior art, the online monitoring of the bearing mainly depends on vibration and temperature sensors, but these systems have obvious shortcomings: Power supply problem: wired power supply wiring is complex and costly; battery power supply needs to be replaced regularly, which is inconvenient to maintain.

[0031] Sensor deployment restrictions: traditional sensors usually need external power supply and signal lines, which are difficult to install on rotating parts.

[0032] Single monitoring dimension: single vibration or temperature signal is difficult to fully and early reflect the complex failure of the bearing.

[0033] Insufficient energy utilization: a large amount of friction heat is generated during the operation of the bearing, and there is abundant wind energy around the unit, which is not effectively collected and utilized in the existing monitoring system.

[0034] While there have been attempts to utilize TEGs for energy harvesting in existing technologies, their power generation efficiency is heavily dependent on temperature stability. Fluctuations in bearing operating conditions cause drastic changes in their surface temperature, resulting in unstable TEG output power and making it difficult to directly and continuously power subsequent circuits. Furthermore, simple temperature or vibration monitoring has limited accuracy and early warning capabilities.

[0035] This application provides a solution that identifies the level of abnormal operating condition and matches a target monitoring mode when an abnormal bearing power supply voltage is detected. In this mode, high-frequency vibration signals are monitored and the heat generated by vibration is calculated. A vibration-heat release curve is established by combining the temperature control characteristics of the phase change material (PCM). The output voltage of the thermoelectric module is predicted based on this curve, and the target heat release rate curve of the PCM is determined based on the inertial data of voltage changes. Finally, the heat release of the PCM is controlled according to the target curve to stabilize the output voltage of the thermoelectric module. Through this method, this application achieves stable power supply to the monitoring system by utilizing the bearing's own vibration to generate heat under abnormal external power supply conditions, thereby improving the reliability and self-sustaining capability of the monitoring system.

[0036] It should be noted that the executing entity in this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication, and program execution functions, such as a tablet computer, personal computer, or mobile phone; or an electronic device capable of performing the above functions, such as a wind turbine bearing self-powered intelligent monitoring device based on phase change material temperature control and thermoelectric effect. This embodiment does not specifically limit it in this regard. The following uses a wind turbine bearing self-powered intelligent monitoring device based on phase change material temperature control and thermoelectric effect as an example to describe this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0037] All actions involving the acquisition of signals, information, or data in this application are carried out in accordance with the relevant data protection laws and policies of the country where the application is located, and with the authorization of the owner of the relevant device.

[0038] This application provides an intelligent monitoring method for the self-powered bearings of wind turbine generators based on phase change material temperature control and thermoelectric effects, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the intelligent monitoring method for self-powered bearings of wind turbine generators based on phase change material temperature control and thermoelectric effect, as described in this application.

[0039] In this embodiment, the intelligent monitoring method for self-powered wind turbine bearings based on phase change material temperature control and thermoelectric effect includes steps S10~S40: Step S10: When the power supply voltage status information of the wind turbine generator bearing is abnormal, identify the abnormal operating condition level and match the corresponding target monitoring mode according to the abnormal operating condition level.

[0040] It should be noted that the power supply voltage status information refers to the judgment conclusion reflecting whether the power supply voltage of the bearing monitoring system is within the normal operating range after continuous collection and analysis by sensors; the abnormal operating condition level is a quantitative classification of the severity of voltage abnormality, for example, it can be divided into different levels such as slight, moderate and severe according to indicators such as voltage drop amplitude and fluctuation frequency; the target monitoring mode refers to the specific working strategy dynamically activated by the system according to different abnormality levels, which determines the frequency of subsequent data collection, the density of analysis and the intensity of control execution, aiming to achieve a balance between monitoring efficiency and energy consumption under abnormal conditions.

[0041] First, the power supply voltage sequence is acquired in real time through a voltage sampling circuit, and key features are extracted using digital signal processing algorithms. Then, the feature values ​​are compared with a preset threshold range to determine the status information. When an abnormal power supply voltage is confirmed, the system calls upon a built-in expert knowledge base or a pre-trained lightweight classification model to quickly map the abnormal operating condition to a preset level based on real-time calculated peak-to-valley differences, fluctuation periods, and other specific parameters. Finally, by querying the level-mode mapping table, the system automatically triggers and switches to the corresponding target monitoring mode. The level-mode mapping table is typically predefined during the system design phase based on different reliability requirements and energy consumption constraints. For example, the sampling rate is reduced to save energy during minor anomalies, while a high-frequency diagnostic mode is activated during severe anomalies.

[0042] In one feasible implementation, the step of identifying the abnormal operating condition level and matching the corresponding target monitoring mode according to the abnormal operating condition level when the power supply voltage status information of the wind turbine generator bearing indicates an abnormal power supply voltage includes: When the power supply voltage status information of the wind turbine generator bearing indicates an abnormal power supply voltage, determine the power supply voltage sequence within the current sampling period, and determine the peak voltage and valley voltage in the power supply voltage sequence; The peak-to-peak voltage is determined based on the peak voltage and the valley voltage; The peak-to-peak voltage is mapped to an abnormal operating condition level table to obtain the abnormal operating condition level; Match the corresponding target monitoring mode according to the abnormal operating condition level.

[0043] It should be noted that the supply voltage sequence refers to a set of discrete voltage values ​​arranged in chronological order, obtained by continuously sampling the supply voltage of the bearing monitoring system at a fixed frequency using an ADC (analog-to-digital converter) within a specific time window (i.e., the sampling period). Peak voltage and valley voltage are the maximum and minimum values ​​in a given supply voltage sequence, respectively. This refers to the maximum value in the sequence, representing the peak voltage within a period; valley voltage. It is the minimum value in the sequence, representing the voltage valley value within the period.

[0044] Peak-to-peak voltage The difference between peak voltage and valley voltage, i.e. Peak-to-peak voltage directly reflects the maximum fluctuation range of the supply voltage within the current sampling period. The abnormal operating condition level table is a predefined lookup mapping table that establishes the correspondence between peak-to-peak voltage and abnormal operating condition levels. This table is based on historical data, system withstand tests, and engineering experience, and clearly defines the abnormality level corresponding to different voltage fluctuation ranges, such as Level 1 - Slight, Level 2 - Moderate, and Level 3 - Severe.

[0045] In the specific implementation, firstly, the ADC module of the system microcontroller (MCU) will sample at a fixed frequency. The supply voltage is collected within a sampling window of duration T, resulting in a sequence containing N sampling points. The program then uses a simple comparison algorithm to traverse the sequence and quickly find its maximum value. and minimum value And calculate the peak-to-peak voltage. This process can be formally represented as:

[0046] Next, the calculated The value is compared with an abnormal condition level table stored in the system's non-volatile memory (such as Flash). This table typically sets multiple threshold ranges, for example: if If so, it is level 0 (normal); if If so, it is classified as Level 1 (minor anomaly); if If so, it is classified as Level 2 (Severe Anomaly). The system uses a table lookup operation to classify consecutive... The values ​​are discretized into specific abnormal operating condition levels.

[0047] Finally, based on the determined level of abnormal operating conditions, the system indexes another level-mode configuration table and dynamically loads the corresponding target monitoring mode parameters. These parameters may include the sampling rate of the vibration sensor, the complexity of the signal processing algorithm, and the frequency of data upload. For example, level 1 may correspond to an energy-saving monitoring mode (reduced sampling rate), while level 2 corresponds to an enhanced diagnostic mode (maximum sampling rate, enabling full-band analysis). In this way, the system can intelligently adjust resource allocation when power supply is abnormal, ensuring critical monitoring functions while minimizing power consumption and improving continuous operation under adverse power conditions.

[0048] In one feasible implementation, before the step of identifying the abnormal operating condition level and matching the corresponding target monitoring mode according to the abnormal operating condition level when the power supply voltage status information of the wind turbine generator bearing indicates an abnormal power supply voltage, the method further includes: The real-time power supply voltage sequence of the wind turbine generator bearing is collected based on a preset acquisition frequency, and the voltage fluctuation characteristics of the real-time power supply voltage sequence are extracted. The voltage fluctuation characteristics are input into the anomaly classification model to obtain voltage fluctuation classification information; The voltage fluctuation classification information is detected to obtain the power supply voltage status information.

[0049] In its implementation, the system first uses the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) of the microcontroller (MCU) to continuously sample the supply voltage at a preset sampling frequency (e.g., 1kHz), forming a time series. Subsequently, instead of directly using the original voltage value, more representative voltage fluctuation characteristics are extracted. These characteristics aim to characterize abnormal voltage behavior in multiple dimensions, and may include, for example, the effective voltage value (RMS), calculated using the following formula:

[0050] RMS is used to determine the deviation of the overall voltage level; voltage fluctuation rate, i.e. This is used to quantify the amplitude of fluctuations; and the energy of short-term fluctuations can be approximated by calculating the variance of the sequence.

[0051] Next, this set of multi-dimensional feature vectors is input into a pre-trained anomaly classification model. This model can be a lightweight machine learning classifier, such as a support vector machine (SVM) or decision tree. Its advantage lies in its ability to learn the complex nonlinear relationships between different anomaly patterns (such as momentary voltage drops, sustained low voltage, and high-frequency noise interference) and feature combinations. Based on the learned decision boundaries, the model outputs a discrete voltage fluctuation classification, such as "0 - Normal", "1 - Slight fluctuation", and "2 - Severe anomaly". Compared to simple methods that rely solely on peak-to-peak values, this model integrates multiple features, effectively reducing false alarms (such as misjudgments caused by individual pulse interference).

[0052] Finally, the system checks the hierarchical information output by the model. This is typically achieved through a simple conditional statement: if hierarchical information != "0 - Normal"; then power supply voltage status information = "Power supply voltage abnormal". This step converts the multi-level classification results given by the model into a binary trigger signal.

[0053] Step S20: In the target monitoring mode, monitor the high-frequency vibration signal, determine the vibration heat generation based on the high-frequency vibration signal, and establish a vibration-heat release curve based on the vibration heat generation and the temperature control characteristics of the phase change material.

[0054] It should be noted that high-frequency vibration signals refer to vibration responses that are much higher than the unit's rotational frequency (usually several kilohertz) collected by an accelerometer installed on the bearing housing. They are often used to capture the impact caused by early minor damage to components such as bearing raceways and rolling elements. Vibration heat generation is quantified by processing the high-frequency vibration signals with a specific algorithm to determine the theoretical heat power generated by the additional friction and impact caused by the aggravation of abnormal vibration.

[0055] In one feasible implementation, the steps of monitoring high-frequency vibration signals under the target monitoring mode, determining vibration heat generation based on the high-frequency vibration signals, and establishing a vibration-heat release curve based on the vibration heat generation and the temperature control characteristics of the phase change material include: In the target monitoring mode, high-frequency vibration signals from vibration acceleration sensors distributed in multiple quadrants of the bearing are collected; The high-frequency vibration signal is subjected to spectrum analysis and packet decomposition to extract the vibration energy of the bearing; The vibration heat generation is obtained based on the vibration energy-heat generation conversion coefficient and the vibration energy. The temperature control characteristics of the phase change material are determined, and a vibration-heat release curve is established based on the temperature control characteristics and the vibration-generated heat.

[0056] It should be understood that in order to comprehensively capture the stress and vibration state of the bearing in all directions, multiple sensors installed around the bearing housing are usually installed at 90-degree or 120-degree intervals with the bearing center as the origin.

[0057] It should be noted that the vibration energy-heat generation conversion coefficient is a proportionality coefficient (unit: W / (m² / s²) or equivalent unit) obtained through bench tests or theoretical modeling, used to convert the dimensions of vibration energy into heat generation power in a thermodynamic sense. This coefficient serves as a bridge connecting mechanical vibration and thermal effects.

[0058] In its implementation, the system first synchronously reads sensor signals distributed across multiple quadrants of the bearing. These signals are then fused (e.g., by selecting the maximum energy value or performing vector synthesis) to overcome signal amplitude modulation caused by variations in the bearing load area, ensuring that the extracted vibration energy accurately reflects the overall vibration intensity. Subsequently, the fused high-frequency vibration signals undergo parallel spectrum analysis and packet decomposition. Spectrum analysis quickly identifies the characteristic frequency bandwidths of each bearing component (inner ring, outer ring, rolling elements), while packet decomposition focuses on these bandwidths to further separate the impact components obscured by noise. Vibration energy ( The calculation can combine the results of both methods, for example, by summing the squares of the coefficients of a specific fault band after decomposing the small packet: ,in This represents the small packet decomposition coefficient within the target frequency band.

[0059] Obtain vibrational energy Then, multiply it by a pre-calibrated vibration energy to heat generation conversion coefficient. This allows us to estimate the additional heat power generated by abnormal vibration, i.e., the heat generated by vibration. The calculation formula is: .coefficient The calibration needs to be obtained by back-calculating the vibration energy and actual frictional heat loss under known operating conditions.

[0060] Finally, based on the temperature control characteristics of phase change materials, including specific heat capacity... Phase transition latent heat Phase transition temperature range and thermal conductivity A simplified lumped-parameter thermal model is established. This model simplifies the bearing as a heat source and the phase change material as an endothermic body; its heat balance equation can be expressed as: ,in For the quality of phase change materials, The rate of change of liquid phase fraction. This represents heat loss to the environment. By solving this equation, we can simulate heat loss under different conditions. The temperature change curve of the lower phase change material, namely the vibration-heat release curve, visually demonstrates how the phase change material balances vibration-generated heat through heat absorption, thereby evaluating its temperature control effect.

[0061] In one feasible implementation, the step of performing spectral analysis and packet decomposition on the high-frequency vibration signal to extract the vibration energy of the bearing includes: Perform a fast Fourier transform on the high-frequency vibration signal to obtain the energy distribution of the high-frequency vibration signal in multiple characteristic frequency bands; The high-frequency vibration signal was subdivided into full-band subdivisions using wavelet packet decomposition algorithm to extract detail subband signals related to the bearing fault characteristic frequencies. The energy value of each detailed sub-band signal is calculated, and the energy value is weighted and fused with the energy distribution of the corresponding characteristic frequency band to obtain the vibration energy of the bearing.

[0062] In the specific implementation, firstly, the high-frequency vibration signal is collected... Perform a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to obtain its power spectral density. or amplitude spectrum The system will preset multiple frequency bands related to the fault characteristic frequencies calculated from the bearing's geometric parameters and rotational speed. Then, the energy within each characteristic frequency band is calculated through numerical integration. : or

[0063] At the same time, wavelet packet decomposition algorithms are used in parallel to process the same original signal. Perform a depth decomposition of 3 to 5 levels. This divides the entire Nyquist frequency range into several ( Each sub-band is an orthogonal sub-band of equal width (where j is the number of decomposition levels). Then, based on the characteristic frequencies of bearing failures, specific sub-bands containing these frequency components are precisely located. The energy values ​​of these target sub-bands are calculated. As mentioned earlier, this is obtained by calculating the sum of squares of the subband coefficients. The advantage of WPD is that it can concentrate the broadband impulse response energy caused by faults into a few subbands, thereby effectively filtering out out-of-band noise and improving the signal-to-noise ratio.

[0064] Finally, a weighted fusion is performed. The weighting strategy is crucial; for example, the energy extracted by WPD can be given a higher weight. Because it is more sensitive to impact characteristics; while the energy weights of FFT Lower, used as a background reference. Final bearing vibration energy. It can be represented as:

[0065] in, This fusion strategy combines the advantages of both methods, resulting in a final vibration energy estimate that includes both macroscopic frequency distribution information and enhanced microscopic impact information specific to the fault, laying a solid foundation for subsequent accurate calculation of vibration heat generation.

[0066] In one feasible implementation, the step of determining the temperature control characteristics of the phase change material and establishing a vibration-heat release curve based on the temperature control characteristics and the vibration-generated heat includes: Determine the temperature control characteristics of the phase change material, and calculate the theoretical heat absorption rate of the phase change material based on the real-time heat generation and the current phase change state of the phase change material; Based on the heat dissipation environment parameters of the bearing and the theoretical heat absorption rate, a thermodynamic differential equation with time as the variable is constructed. Solving the aforementioned thermodynamic differential equation, we can simulate and obtain the vibration-heat release curve, which characterizes the dynamic process of heat absorption and release of the phase change material under vibration-driven heat generation.

[0067] In the specific implementation, refer to Figure 2 ,Figure 2 This is the vibration-heat release curve. The system needs to determine the temperature control characteristics of the phase change material, including its specific heat capacity in both solid and liquid states. Phase transition latent heat Phase transition temperature range Typically, it refers to a range rather than a point, and thermal conductivity. Theoretical heat absorption rate The calculation is highly dependent on the current phase transition state of the phase transition material, which is a piecewise process: Sensible and endothermic states in solid or liquid phase change materials: when the overall temperature of the phase change material... Below the phase transition initiation temperature Or above the phase transition end temperature At this time, heat absorption is only in the form of sensible heat, and the formula is:

[0068] Solid-liquid coexistence phase change endothermic: when In In the liquidus region, the material undergoes a phase transition, absorbing a large amount of latent heat. At this point, the rate of heat absorption is related to the liquidus fraction. Related to the rate of change of (liquid mass fraction, from 0 to 1), Liquid phase ratio The relationship with temperature can be expressed as a linear or experimentally calibrated function. To describe.

[0069] Next, based on the heat dissipation environment parameters (such as ambient temperature) Convection heat transfer coefficient between bearing and environment Heat exchange area (etc.) Construct the thermodynamic differential equations. This system can usually be simplified to a lumped-parameter model, whose energy balance equation is:

[0070] in: The heat generated by vibration is used as a heat source input. This is the heat loss from the bearing to the environment. The last item is the sensible heat absorbed by the bearing body as its temperature rises.

[0071] To simplify and focus on the behavior of phase change materials, the bearing temperature is often assumed. With phase change material temperature Tight coupling (ideal thermal contact) can make Thus, the equation can be rewritten as about Differential equation:

[0072] Finally, solve the thermodynamic differential equation. Numerical methods (such as the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method) are employed, with initial conditions (such as...) Under time The solution is obtained through iterative steps. The solution results are as follows. Or directly output The curve showing how heat changes over time is the vibration-heat release curve. This curve clearly demonstrates the heat generation during continuous vibration. Driven by this, we can intuitively assess how phase change materials dynamically absorb heat (manifested as a gradual temperature rise or a stable temperature) and how they release heat after vibrations are reduced, thereby providing a direct evaluation of their temperature suppression performance on bearings.

[0073] Step S30: Based on the vibration-heat release curve, predict the predicted output voltage of the thermoelectric module, determine the inertial data of voltage change according to the predicted output voltage, and determine the target heat release rate curve of the phase change material according to the inertial data.

[0074] Understandably, firstly, the vibration-heat release curve, i.e., the heat flow output of the phase change material, is considered. The physical model input into the thermoelectric module describes the Seebeck effect, i.e., temperature difference. Linear relationship with output voltage V: This allows for the calculation of the predicted future output voltage. Next, through analysis The trend of change (e.g., calculating its first derivative) Alternatively, system identification can be performed to quantify its dynamic response characteristics, i.e., the inertial data of voltage changes (such as the equivalent time constant). Finally, the control algorithm uses this inertial data to deduce, with the optimization objective of ensuring smooth voltage changes and avoiding impact on energy storage or electrical equipment, an ideal target heat release rate curve that matches the system's thermal inertia is calculated. This curve will serve as the direct setpoint for the next stage of active thermal management of phase change materials.

[0075] In one feasible implementation, the step of determining the target heat release rate curve of the phase change material based on the inertial data includes: An optimization function for voltage output stability is established based on the aforementioned inertial data; The target heat release rate sequence is solved in reverse based on the optimization function; The target heat release rate sequence is smoothed and physically constrained to generate a target heat release rate curve.

[0076] In the specific implementation, firstly, an optimization function for voltage output stability is established based on inertial data. The system's inertial data (e.g., the identified first-order inertial time constant of the thermoelectric system) is used. This indicates a lag in voltage changes. The optimization function aims to minimize the output voltage. The objective is to determine the fluctuations. A common optimization objective function is... It can be formalized as:

[0077] in, It is the control variable to be determined (target heat release rate). This indicates a penalty for drastic changes in voltage, ensuring stability; To make the voltage track a desired reference value. (e.g., maximum power point voltage); and This is a weighting coefficient used to balance smoothness and tracking accuracy.

[0078] Secondly, the target heat release rate sequence is solved inversely based on the optimization function. This is typically transformed into an optimal control problem. Due to thermoelectric voltage... Through physical models ( ) and thermodynamic models and Correspondingly, we can solve the above optimization problem in the discrete-time domain. Using variational methods or model predictive control (MPC) frameworks, the continuous-time problem can be discretized into solutions at each sampling time point. Solving a quadratic programming (QP) problem yields a series of discrete target heat release rate values ​​over a future time domain, i.e., a sequence. .

[0079] Finally, the target heat release rate sequence is smoothed and physically constrained. The initially obtained sequence may contain high-frequency jitter or values ​​exceeding physical limits. Therefore, a digital filter (such as a moving average filter) is needed to smooth it. Simultaneously, physical constraint verification must be performed to ensure that each... All of these are within the limits allowed by the phase change material's capabilities and the system structure, i.e., they satisfy... Finally, these processed and verified discrete sequence points are interpolated (e.g., by spline interpolation) to generate a continuous, smooth, and physically feasible target heat release rate curve. , as control instructions for the actuator.

[0080] In one feasible implementation, the step of smoothing and physically constraining the target heat release rate sequence to generate the target heat release rate curve includes: The target heat release rate sequence is smoothed using a filter to obtain a smoothed sequence. Based on the maximum heat absorption and release capacity and thermal response time constant of the phase change material, the smoothed sequence is subjected to physical constraint verification of the rate upper limit and the change gradient. When a numerical point in the smoothed sequence exceeds the physical constraint range, the numerical point is corrected to a boundary value, and a target heat release rate curve is generated based on the corrected numerical point.

[0081] In the specific implementation, firstly, a filter is used for smoothing. The target heat release rate sequence is obtained directly from the optimization algorithm. (in Discrete-time indices may contain high-frequency jitter due to numerical computation or model mismatch. Direct use of this sequence may cause actuators (such as pumps and fans) to operate frequently, leading to oscillations or wear. Therefore, a digital low-pass filter is needed for smoothing. A commonly used and computationally efficient choice is a first-order infinite impulse response (IIR) filter, which has the following form: Among them, the filter coefficients This determines the smoothness. The smaller the value, the stronger the smoothing effect, but the greater the instruction delay.

[0082] Secondly, physical constraint verification is performed. The smoothed sequence It must undergo a dual test of physical feasibility. The first is the upper limit constraint on the rate, namely… Here The phase change material's thermophysical properties (such as thermal conductivity and latent heat) and the maximum capacity of the heat exchange system (such as the maximum flow rate of the fluid) are both considered. Secondly, there is the constraint of the change gradient, i.e. This constraint reflects the system's thermal response time constant, meaning that the rate of change of heat flux cannot exceed the dynamic response capability of the heat dissipation / heating mechanism, preventing the system from being unable to keep up with changes in commands that occur too quickly.

[0083] Finally, boundary correction is performed and the curve is generated. This applies to any numerical point in the sequence that exceeds the above constraints. The system will correct it to the closest boundary value. For example, if a value at a certain point is greater than... Then set it to If its rate of change exceeds The value at the previous time step will then be corrected by a maximum permissible amount of change. After this series of smoothing and constraint processes, the final discrete sequence can then be used to generate a continuous, smooth, and physically accurate target heat release rate curve through linear interpolation or spline interpolation. This provides a reliable basis for the final control execution.

[0084] Step S40: Control the phase change material to release heat based on the target heat release rate curve, so as to stabilize the output voltage of the thermoelectric module.

[0085] It should be noted that the system uses the target heat release rate curve as the setpoint and monitors the actual heat flow rate or temperature change rate at the interface between the phase change material and the hot end of the thermoelectric module in real time through sensors (such as thermocouples), and uses this as a feedback signal. The controller (such as a PID controller or a more advanced model predictive controller, MPC) compares the target value with the actual value, calculates the control quantity (such as adjusting the speed of the liquid pump or the duty cycle of the fan), drives the actuator to change the heat transfer intensity, thereby dynamically adjusting the solidification / melting rate of the phase change material, so that its actual heat release closely tracks the target curve, and ultimately achieves smooth and stable control of the output power quality of the thermoelectric module.

[0086] In one feasible implementation, the step of controlling the heat release of the phase change material based on the target heat release rate curve includes: The target heat release rate curve is converted into control timing commands; According to the control timing instructions, the heat release rate of the phase change material is controlled so that the phase change material releases heat.

[0087] In practical implementation, the system first performs feedforward control based on a preset static model that characterizes the relationship between "heat release rate and control quantity". For example, if the controlled object is a pump that drives the coolant circulation, its model might be approximated as follows: ,in yes The PWM duty cycle instruction at any given time. It is the gain coefficient. It is the bias constant. This set of feedforward instructions provides the system with a fast, initial response.

[0088] However, due to model inaccuracies and external disturbances, feedforward control alone cannot guarantee accurate tracking of the target heat release rate. Therefore, a feedback control loop (typically a PI or PID controller) is introduced to eliminate steady-state errors and suppress disturbances. The controller adjusts the control based on the target heat release rate. The actual heat release rate estimated by means of sensors (such as thermocouples, which are used to calculate the temperature difference). Deviation between This is used to generate the compensation control quantity. Taking a PI controller as an example, its output is... ,in and For control parameters, The sampling period is [number]. Finally, the control timing instructions for driving the actuator are [determined]. (or the corresponding PWM signal) is determined by both the feedforward amount and the feedback compensation amount: This set of timing instructions is periodically sent to the power drive circuit, thereby precisely controlling the heat exchange intensity, realizing closed-loop regulation of the heat release rate of the phase change material, and ultimately achieving the goal of stabilizing the thermoelectric output voltage.

[0089] This embodiment provides an intelligent monitoring method for the self-powered operation of wind turbine generator bearings based on the temperature control and thermoelectric effect of phase change materials. When an abnormal bearing power supply voltage is detected, the method identifies the level of the abnormal condition and matches a target monitoring mode. In this mode, high-frequency vibration signals are monitored and the heat generated by vibration is calculated. A vibration-heat release curve is established by combining the temperature control characteristics of the phase change material. Based on this curve, the output voltage of the thermoelectric module is predicted, and the target heat release rate curve of the phase change material is determined based on the inertial data of voltage changes. Finally, the heat release of the phase change material is controlled according to the target curve to stabilize the output voltage of the thermoelectric module. Through this method, this application achieves stable power supply to the monitoring system by utilizing the heat generated by the bearing's own vibration under abnormal external power supply conditions, thereby improving the reliability and self-sustaining capability of the monitoring system.

The temperature control characteristics of the phase change material are determined, and a vibration-heat release curve is established based on the temperature control characteristics and the vibration-generated heat.

[0094] In one feasible implementation, the thermal correlation modeling module 20 is further used to perform a fast Fourier transform on the high-frequency vibration signal to obtain the energy distribution of the high-frequency vibration signal in multiple characteristic frequency bands. The high-frequency vibration signal was subdivided into full-band subdivisions using wavelet packet decomposition algorithm to extract detail subband signals related to the bearing fault characteristic frequencies. The energy value of each detailed sub-band signal is calculated, and the energy value is weighted and fused with the energy distribution of the corresponding characteristic frequency band to obtain the vibration energy of the bearing.

Based on the heat dissipation environment parameters of the bearing and the theoretical heat absorption rate, a thermodynamic differential equation with time as the variable is constructed. Solving the aforementioned thermodynamic differential equation, we can simulate and obtain the vibration-heat release curve, which characterizes the dynamic process of heat absorption and release of the phase change material under vibration-driven heat generation.
