Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind power equipment condition monitoring and fault diagnosis technology, and in particular to a method for calculating the natural frequency of a wind turbine tower and identifying anomalies, a storage medium, and electronic equipment. Background Technology
[0002] As the global energy structure shifts towards green and low-carbon practices, wind power, as a crucial component of clean energy, is experiencing rapid and continuous growth in installed capacity and unit size. The wind turbine tower, as a key load-bearing structure supporting the rotor and nacelle, directly impacts the operational safety and service life of the entire turbine. The tower's natural frequency is a critical dynamic characteristic parameter, affecting not only the dynamic coupling between the turbine and its aerodynamic and control systems but also serving as a sensitive indicator for assessing the tower's structural integrity (e.g., foundation settlement, weld cracking, tower corrosion, bolt preload loss).
[0003] Currently, the industry primarily uses peak picking to acquire and analyze the natural frequency of wind turbine towers. To obtain the actual frequency, high-precision accelerometers are typically installed on the tower. Vibration response signals from environmental excitations (such as wind loads and turbine start-up / shutdown) or artificial excitations are collected, and spectral analysis (such as Fourier transform) is performed to identify the dominant frequency. While this method is relatively direct, the real-time monitoring and identification of the natural frequency has a large error. Generally, the rotor rotation frequency of a flexible tower is close to the tower's natural frequency. When the wind turbine is operating, the rotor's 1P and 3P frequencies, as well as gearbox operation, all cause tower vibration. Consequently, signals with amplitudes higher than the natural frequency appear in the spectrum near the natural frequency. If peak picking is simply performed to select the frequency with the largest amplitude as the wind turbine tower's natural frequency, there is a probability that other frequencies will be mistaken for the natural frequency when the wind turbine is operating at full load.

[0024] According to the formula Calculate the interquartile range;
[0025] Set the lower bound for outlier detection as The upper boundary is ;
[0026] Candidate frequencies whose values exceed the lower and upper bounds are identified as outliers and removed.

The use of user data in this technical solution follows relevant national laws and regulations (e.g., the "Information Security Technology - Personal Information Security Specification"). For example: appropriate measures are taken for personal information access control; restrictions are imposed on the display of personal information; the purpose of using personal information does not exceed the scope of direct or reasonable association; and explicit identity targeting is eliminated when using personal information to avoid precisely locating a specific individual.
[0057] To address at least one of the technical problems existing in the aforementioned related technologies, the present invention provides a method for calculating the natural frequency of wind turbine towers and identifying anomalies. Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for calculating the natural frequency of a wind turbine tower and identifying anomalies, provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The method includes:
[0058] S1: Acquire the acceleration signal of the wind turbine tower and preprocess the acceleration signal to eliminate the DC component;
[0059] S2: The preprocessed acceleration signals are grouped and processed, and the spectrum analysis of each group of acceleration signals is performed in turn. The candidate frequencies of each group are identified in turn within the preset frequency band.
[0060] S3: The continuously obtained candidate frequencies are stored using a sliding window mechanism, and the inherent frequencies are calculated after outliers in the window are removed based on a statistical anomaly detection method.
[0061] S4: Compare the natural frequency with the reference natural frequency, and determine the health status of the tower structure and trigger the corresponding alarm based on whether the relative error exceeds a preset threshold.
[0062] This invention provides a complete method for calculating the natural frequency of wind turbine towers and identifying anomalies, establishing a comprehensive technical solution from data acquisition to health status assessment. Specifically, this method acquires vibration signals, obtains candidate frequencies through spectrum analysis, eliminates outliers using statistical methods, and determines the status by comparing with a reference frequency. This achieves accurate calculation and real-time monitoring of the tower's natural frequency, effectively overcoming the technical shortcomings of traditional peak picking methods that are prone to misjudging the natural frequency under complex operating conditions, and improving the reliability and accuracy of wind turbine tower structural health monitoring.
[0063] In some embodiments, acquiring the acceleration signal in step S1 specifically includes:
[0064] A triaxial accelerometer is installed at the top of the wind turbine tower, and the sampling frequency is set to 10Hz to collect acceleration signals.
[0065] In the above embodiments, since the natural frequency of the wind turbine tower is at Within this range, setting the above sampling rate allows the tower's natural frequency to be acquired without aliasing.
[0066] refer to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, step S2 specifically includes:
[0067] S21: A high-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 0.1Hz is used to filter out the DC component in the acceleration signal caused by the zero bias of the accelerometer.
[0068] S22: For the acceleration signal after filtering out the DC component, the spectrum information is obtained by performing a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on each group of 2048 consecutive data points.
[0069] S23: Based on the spectral information corresponding to each group of data, select the frequency with the largest peak value within the frequency range of 0~0.5Hz as the candidate frequency for that group.
[0070] The above embodiments further optimize the spectrum analysis method, improving the accuracy of natural frequency identification through reasonable signal processing parameter settings. Specifically, a 0.1Hz high-pass filter effectively eliminates DC component interference generated by sensor zero bias, and selecting 2048 data points as a group ensures the spectral resolution of FFT calculation. The 0~0.5Hz characteristic frequency band accurately covers the natural frequency distribution range of the tower. These parameter optimizations make the selection of candidate frequencies more accurate and reliable.
[0071] refer to Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, step S3 specifically includes:
[0072] S31. Establish a fixed-length sliding window to store continuously acquired candidate frequency sequences;
[0073] S32. Use the interquartile range (IQR) method to detect outliers in the candidate frequencies within the window, identify and eliminate non-inherent frequency components caused by wind turbine operating condition interference.
[0074] S33. Calculate the arithmetic mean of the candidate frequencies that pass the anomaly detection to obtain the natural frequency that reflects the structural state of the tower.
[0075] The above embodiments improve the stability and accuracy of natural frequency calculation through a sliding window mechanism and the IQR method. Specifically, the method establishes a fixed-length sliding window to store a continuous sequence of candidate frequencies, uses the interquartile range (IQR) method to effectively identify and eliminate non-natural frequency components caused by wind turbine operating condition interference, and finally calculates the arithmetic mean of the detected normal frequencies. Thus, even under complex vibration environments, it can still obtain the real-time natural frequency that reflects the true structural state of the tower, overcoming the technical defects of traditional peak picking methods that are easily affected by interference frequencies.
[0076] In some embodiments, the length of the sliding window is 421. The window size is determined based on the stability characteristics of the tower's natural frequency and the statistical significance requirements, which can provide a sufficient number of samples for reliable outlier detection while ensuring real-time performance.
[0077] In some embodiments, the outlier detection using the interquartile range (IQR) method for candidate frequencies within the window specifically includes:
[0078] The candidate frequencies in the sliding window are sorted by numerical value to obtain an ordered sequence. ;
[0079] Calculate the median of the ordered sequence. and with Based on this, calculate from arrive The median is the first quartile. ,from arrive The median is the third quartile. ;
[0080] According to the formula Calculate the interquartile range;
[0081] Set the lower bound for outlier detection as The upper boundary is ;
[0082] Candidate frequencies whose values exceed the lower and upper bounds are identified as outliers and removed.
[0083] The above embodiments define the execution steps of the IQR method, ensuring the accuracy and repeatability of outlier detection through standardized statistical calculation procedures. Specifically, the method includes steps such as candidate frequency sorting, quartile calculation, IQR value determination, upper and lower bound setting, and outlier judgment. It can stably identify the true intrinsic frequency under complex operating conditions containing multiple interference frequencies, avoiding misjudgments caused by individual abnormal data and improving the reliability of wind turbine tower health status assessment.
[0084] refer to Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, determining the health status of the tower structure in step S4 specifically includes:
[0085] S41. When the sliding window is full of candidate frequencies for the first time, set the natural frequency calculated in step S3 at this time as the reference natural frequency. ;
[0086] S42. Subsequently, after obtaining each new candidate frequency, update the window and recalculate the corresponding natural frequency according to the method in step S3, which is then used as the real-time natural frequency. ;
[0087] S43, According to the formula Calculate the relative error. When the relative error exceeds a preset safety threshold of 10%, determine that the tower structure is abnormal and trigger an inspection alarm.
[0088] The above embodiments detail the health status determination mechanism, achieving accurate early warning of tower structure anomalies through scientific benchmark setting and error analysis. Specifically, the method first establishes a reference natural frequency when the sliding window first reaches 421 candidate frequencies. Subsequent calculations in real time And based on the formula Relative error analysis is performed, and an alarm is immediately triggered when the error exceeds the 10% safety threshold. This threshold can be scientifically set based on the normal variation range of the tower's natural frequency, which can effectively distinguish between normal frequency fluctuations and structural abnormalities, thus improving the timeliness and accuracy of wind turbine tower health monitoring.
[0089] In some embodiments, the method further includes a real-time update mechanism, specifically including:
[0090] After completing the reference natural frequency After setting it up, start the real-time update process:
[0091] After acquiring each set of acceleration signals and calculating a corresponding new candidate frequency, an update operation is performed on the sliding window:
[0092] First, remove the earliest entered candidate frequency from the window;
[0093] Then shift all remaining candidate frequencies one position to the left in chronological order;
[0094] Finally, the latest calculated candidate frequency is added to the end of the window;
[0095] Based on the updated window content that still retains 421 candidate frequencies, the inherent frequencies are recalculated according to the S3 method and used as the real-time inherent frequencies. .
[0096] The above embodiments further optimize the real-time update mechanism, achieving continuous and reliable monitoring of the inherent frequency through a first-in-first-out (FIFO) window update strategy. Specifically, the method initiates a real-time update process after the reference frequency is set. Each time a new candidate frequency is obtained, the oldest data in the window is removed, the remaining data is shifted to the left, and the latest data is added, always maintaining a complete window of 421 data points. The real-time inherent frequency is recalculated based on the updated window. This mechanism ensures both the real-time nature of the monitoring and the sample size for statistical analysis, ensuring stable and reliable inherent frequency calculation results can still be obtained under dynamic operating conditions.
