Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind turbine monitoring technology, and in particular to a fault early warning method and system for wind farm operation and maintenance equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Wind farm operation and maintenance (O&M) condition monitoring and fault early warning technology has undergone three evolutions: from single-sensor monitoring to multimodal perception, from threshold discrimination to intelligent diagnosis, and from offline analysis to edge computing. Early technologies relied on SCADA and accelerometers, using empirical threshold methods based on features such as root mean square, kurtosis, envelope spectrum, and gear meshing sidebands to achieve coarse-grained early warning. Subsequently, data-driven methods such as HMM, SVM, and RF emerged, along with deep learning methods that input vibration / acoustic spectra into CNNs and long-term operating conditions into LSTMs or CRNNs, enabling automatic identification of typical faults such as bearing pitting, tooth surface wear, and blade icing. In recent years, multimodal fusion (vibration / acoustics / vision / strain / environment), digital twins, and edge deployment have been introduced to explore coupling physical and data models of equipment to improve timeliness and interpretability. Simultaneously, graph networks (GNNs) have begun to show promise in complex system topology modeling, attempting to characterize fault propagation trajectories from the perspective of "component-connection-energy flow." Overall, the industry has moved from "point-based threshold monitoring" to "system-level spatiotemporal modeling," but existing technologies still have shortcomings. Common early / late-stage fusion methods are mostly based on experience-weighted or black-box splicing, lacking verifiable cross-modal consistency metrics. They are prone to generating false alarms in strong wind and turbulent scenarios and cannot meet the needs of high-precision wind turbine operation monitoring. Summary of the Invention

[0065] S4. Construct a wind turbine topology graph and define the initial features of wind turbine nodes. Analyze the sources of abnormal wind turbine nodes using a graph convolution algorithm. Specifically, a wind turbine topology graph is constructed and initial features of the wind turbine nodes are defined. Anomaly node sources are analyzed using a graph convolution algorithm. A wind turbine component topology graph is constructed based on the turbine's components, including three blade nodes, one main shaft node, one high-speed gearbox node, one low-speed gearbox node, one generator rotor node, and one generator stator node. Connection edges are established based on the relationships between nodes and processed undirected in a graph convolutional network (GCN). These relationships include the direction of force or energy flow. Initial node features are assigned to each node. :
[0066] in , as well as This is a global variable for the same user, copied to each node. For the aggregation of node sensor data vectors, For the route strength alignment term, use max-min normalization; By constructing a minimal and sufficient topology graph with components as nodes, the physical constraints of the wind turbine's mechanical links and electromagnetic terminals are explicitly encoded. This transforms the localization problem from pure feature clustering to propagation discrimination constrained by topology, avoiding "hot zone drift" in complex coupling scenarios. In practical applications, this graph can propagate at a fixed scale and constant at the edge, keeping computational burden controllable. This achieves stable convergence to reasonable candidates even with small samples and noise. By injecting global variables into each node and combining them with local sensor statistics to form initial features, "global risk background - local anomaly clues" are aligned within the same domain. This prevents nodes from mistaking global disturbances for local faults when the overall load changes drastically. In practical applications, this design reduces reliance on complex threshold compensation, thus significantly reducing false alarms in situations such as strong winds and grid disturbances.

The residual coefficient; By employing two layers of graph convolution supplemented with residuals, the physical radius of information propagation is limited while preserving in-situ semantics, overcoming common oversmoothing issues. Its purpose is to balance the two-hop impact of cascading failures with source-end resolution; practically, it reduces the number of layers and parameter scale, facilitating real-time operation on edge devices; thus achieving the effect of neither losing neighborhood evidence nor sacrificing real-time performance. The node suspicion level is calculated based on the final output of GCN, and the node with the highest suspicion level is identified as the source of the abnormal node and an alert is issued.
[0069] in Let i be the degree of suspicion of node i. These are the weighting coefficients. For bias.
[0070] By embedding nodes into a lightweight input readout layer to obtain suspiciousness, and using the maximum value as the anomaly source output, a single criterion closed loop is achieved from "whether it is abnormal" to "where the anomaly is". Its function is to transform complex multimodal and multipath evidence into auditable and traceable numerical outputs, facilitating direct integration with existing operation and maintenance platforms. In terms of application, it supports the automatic issuance of handling strategies based on fixed thresholds or sorting policies, thereby reducing manual review costs and shortening location time.
[0071] Furthermore, after obtaining the source of the abnormal node in the wind turbine, the abnormal node is marked and highlighted in the three-dimensional digital model of the wind turbine.

[0076] In summary, this invention deploys multimodal sensors on wind turbines to first form standardized data vectors, which are then fused early by a dedicated branch encoder to output anomaly probabilities. Further, it constructs "scattering invariants" based on the data vectors and defines third-order coupling quantities. Simultaneously, it performs third-order amplitude decomposition on the fused vectors and calculates third-order residuals through the "coupling-amplitude" correspondence for cross-modal self-consistency verification. Then, based on the wind turbine energy transfer topology, it constructs propagation kernels and topological weights, introduces eikonal core factors and shape corrections, and constructs a closed-loop aggregated eikonal risk index to quantify early risks. Finally, it establishes a wind turbine component graph and defines initial node features, using graph convolution to locate anomaly sources on the topology. This significantly reduces false alarms and false negatives, maintaining high sensitivity and robustness even under small-sample anomalies and complex operating conditions, thus shortening fault location and troubleshooting time.
