Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent operation and maintenance and predictive maintenance technology for wind power equipment, specifically to a method and system for optimizing maintenance decisions for wind turbine gearboxes, and more specifically, to a method and system for optimizing maintenance decisions for wind turbine gearboxes in desert and barren environments. Background Technology

[0002] As onshore wind turbines continue to be deployed to large-capacity, remote areas and complex environments, the gearbox, as a critical component in the transmission chain with a high risk of failure and high maintenance costs, directly affects the unit's availability, downtime losses, and the efficiency of operation and maintenance resource allocation. Especially in wind farm environments such as deserts, Gobi, wastelands, high-altitude cold regions with large temperature differences and fluctuating road conditions, maintenance activities are affected not only by the degree of component degradation, but also by wind speed, ambient temperature, dust, road conditions, and the accessibility of operation and maintenance teams.

[0003] In existing technologies, some methods directly use point-value remaining life results to schedule maintenance. Although this can provide some trend reference, point-value prediction lacks an effective expression of prediction bias and uncertainty, making it difficult to directly support the selection of maintenance timing in high-risk scenarios. While some methods consider maintenance costs, they are usually approximated by fixed or average costs, making it difficult to characterize the significant time-varying characteristics of deployment costs, downtime losses, and collaborative maintenance benefits in desert environments.

[0004] Furthermore, existing technologies generally suffer from the problem of separating predictive models from maintenance decision-making models. That is, the output of the remaining lifetime model remains only at the analysis level, without being further transformed into risk-feasibility windows and actual work order suggestions. This makes it difficult for the algorithm to form a closed-loop application on wind farm operation and maintenance platforms. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution suitable for barren and desert environments that can integrate remaining lifetime a posteriori calibration, risk constraints, time-varying cost modeling, and rolling maintenance decision-making to enhance the engineering applicability and deployment value of maintenance decisions. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and system for optimizing maintenance decisions for wind turbine gearboxes in barren and desert environments. This method addresses the problems in existing wind turbine gearbox maintenance decision-making processes, such as the uncertainty of remaining life prediction results making them difficult to use directly for decision-making, unclear maintenance risk boundaries, difficulty in accurately characterizing the time-varying nature of operation and maintenance costs in barren and desert environments, and difficulty in dynamically optimizing maintenance timing. Using this invention can significantly improve the reliability, economy, and engineering applicability of wind turbine gearbox maintenance decisions in complex environments.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for optimizing maintenance decisions of wind turbine gearboxes in desert environments, the method comprising: S1. Obtain online remaining life prediction results, inspection information, environmental status information, and operation and maintenance cost information of wind turbine gearboxes; S2. Input the online remaining lifetime prediction results and inspection information into the dual-path calibration network, perform posterior calibration on the online remaining lifetime prediction results, and obtain the calibrated remaining lifetime probability distribution; wherein, the dual-path calibration network includes a mean calibration path and an evidence strength modeling path; S3. In the post-calibration process, a survival consistency constraint is introduced so that the remaining lifetime result after calibration satisfies the overall non-incremental evolution law with the equipment degradation process. S4. Based on the calibrated remaining lifetime probability distribution, calculate the failure probability of the wind turbine gearbox at each time point, and further construct the interval failure risk within the future candidate maintenance interval. S5. Based on the preset risk threshold, determine the maximum safe maintenance interval that meets the risk constraints at the current decision moment, and obtain the risk-feasible maintenance window; S6. Construct an environmental reachability function based on the environmental state information, and establish a time-varying operation and maintenance cost model in combination with the maintenance action type; the time-varying operation and maintenance cost model includes dispatch cost, on-site operation cost, and power outage loss; S7. Within the risk-feasible maintenance window, construct a rolling optimization objective function based on the time-varying operation and maintenance cost model and the interval failure risk, and solve for the optimal maintenance time. S8. Output the corresponding maintenance action according to the optimal maintenance time to guide the preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance or replacement maintenance of the wind turbine gearbox.

[0008] Furthermore, in step S1, the environmental status information includes at least one or more of wind speed, ambient temperature, dust intensity index, and road accessibility index; the operation and maintenance cost related information includes at least one or more of benchmark deployment cost, benchmark operation cost, maintenance period, electricity price information, wind curtailment information, and collaborative maintenance scale.

[0009] Furthermore, in step S2, the mean calibration path is used to correct the systematic bias of the online remaining lifetime prediction results, and the evidence strength modeling path is used to fuse inspection information and characterize the credibility change of the online remaining lifetime prediction results, thereby obtaining a remaining lifetime probability distribution that takes into account both the prediction mean and uncertainty.

[0010] Furthermore, in step S3, the survival consistency constraint is used to limit the remaining lifetime result after calibration from showing a reverse increase in the time dimension that is inconsistent with the equipment degradation law, thereby ensuring that the calibration result meets the physical consistency of the wind turbine gearbox remaining lifetime decreasing as a whole during operation.

[0011] Furthermore, in step S4, the interval failure risk is used to characterize the probability that at least one failure event will occur between the current decision time and the candidate maintenance time, so as to directly introduce the calibrated remaining lifetime uncertainty into the maintenance decision-making process.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S5, the maximum safe maintenance interval is the maximum time length for which maintenance can be delayed under a given risk threshold, and the risk-feasible maintenance window is determined jointly by the current decision time and the maximum safe maintenance interval.

[0013] Furthermore, in step S6, the environmental accessibility function is used to characterize the comprehensive impact of environmental conditions on the feasibility of maintenance deployment and the difficulty of construction organization; in the time-varying operation and maintenance cost model, the deployment cost and on-site operation cost are dynamically adjusted with changes in environmental accessibility, and the power generation loss due to downtime is determined based on the maintenance period, wind turbine power level, electricity price fluctuations, and wind curtailment situation.

[0014] Furthermore, step S6 also includes constructing a collaborative maintenance discount model to characterize the unit maintenance cost reduction effect brought about by the sharing of transportation resources, hoisting equipment, maintenance personnel and on-site support resources when multiple wind turbine units are jointly maintained.

[0015] Furthermore, the collaborative maintenance discount model is environment-dependent and is used to describe the weakening effect of the desert environment on the joint maintenance efficiency of multiple units.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S7, the rolling optimization objective function aims to minimize the total maintenance cost within the risk-feasible window, and is repeatedly solved as the online remaining life prediction results, inspection information, environmental status information, and cost parameters are updated, so as to achieve dynamic updates of maintenance timing.

[0017] Further, step S2 specifically includes: S21. The online remaining lifetime prediction result is used as the initial lifetime estimation input mean calibration path to correct the deviation of the original remaining lifetime prediction result and obtain the calibrated remaining lifetime mean; wherein, the mean calibration path is used to reduce the fluctuation and local shift of the prediction result in the later stage of degradation while maintaining the basic consistency of the original degradation trend. S22. Input the online remaining lifetime prediction results and inspection information into the evidence strength modeling path to obtain evidence strength parameters corresponding to the current degradation stage and inspection status; wherein, the evidence strength modeling path is used to characterize the change in the credibility of the remaining lifetime prediction results and reflect the moderating effect of inspection information on prediction uncertainty. S23. The calibrated mean remaining lifetime and the evidence strength parameter are jointly mapped to construct the posterior probability distribution of the remaining lifetime of the wind turbine gearbox at the current moment, which is used to simultaneously characterize the central trend and uncertainty range of the remaining lifetime prediction results.

[0018] Further, step S3 specifically includes: S31. Based on the remaining lifetime results after calibration at adjacent time points, determine whether the remaining lifetime at subsequent time points shows an abnormal increase that is inconsistent with the degradation pattern. S32. When an abnormal increase in the calibrated remaining lifetime result is detected, apply a survival consistency constraint penalty to the corresponding result to limit the non-physical fluctuation of the remaining lifetime result in the time dimension. S33. Introduce the survival consistency constraint into the posterior calibration process so that the remaining lifetime result after calibration satisfies the physical consistency of decreasing as the equipment degrades, thereby improving the interpretability and reliability of the calibration results in maintenance decisions.

[0019] Further, step S4 specifically includes: S41. Based on the calibrated remaining lifetime probability distribution, calculate the single-moment failure probability of the wind turbine gearbox reaching the failure threshold at each discrete moment. S42. Based on the single-time failure probability at each time point within the candidate maintenance interval, construct the interval failure risk from the current decision time to the candidate maintenance time where at least one failure event occurs. S43. The interval failure risk is used as a safety characterization index in maintenance decision-making to reflect the cumulative failure risk level faced by the wind turbine gearbox during delayed maintenance.

[0020] Further, step S5 specifically includes: S51. Compare the interval failure risk with a preset risk threshold to screen candidate maintenance periods that meet the risk constraints. S52. Under the condition of satisfying the preset risk threshold, determine the maximum length of time that the maintenance can be delayed at the current decision moment, as the maximum safe maintenance interval; S53. Construct a risk-feasible maintenance window based on the current decision time and the maximum safe maintenance interval to limit the search range for subsequent rolling optimization.

[0021] Further, step S6 specifically includes: S61. Based on wind speed, ambient temperature, dust intensity index and road accessibility index, construct an environmental accessibility function to characterize the comprehensive impact of current environmental conditions on the feasibility of maintenance deployment and the difficulty of on-site construction organization. S62. Based on the environmental accessibility function, establish a deployment cost model so that the deployment cost can change dynamically as environmental conditions deteriorate. S63. Based on the environmental accessibility function and maintenance action type, establish a field operation cost model so that the field operation cost can reflect the cost changes caused by the decrease in operation efficiency and the increase in human resource input in the desert environment. S64. Based on the maintenance period, wind turbine power level, electricity price fluctuations and wind curtailment, establish a power outage loss model to characterize the economic losses caused by unit shutdown at different maintenance times. S65. Construct a collaborative maintenance discount model based on the scale of joint maintenance to characterize the unit maintenance cost reduction effect caused by the sharing of transportation resources, hoisting equipment, maintenance personnel and on-site support resources when multiple wind turbines are jointly maintained. S66. Combining the aforementioned deployment cost model, on-site operation cost model, power outage loss model, and collaborative maintenance discount model, establish a time-varying operation and maintenance cost model for the wind turbine gearbox under different candidate maintenance times.

[0022] Further, step S7 specifically includes: S71. Within the risk-feasible maintenance window, with the goal of minimizing the total maintenance cost, construct a rolling optimization objective function that includes the risk-weighted cost of preventive maintenance and corrective maintenance after failure. S72. Jointly evaluate the time-varying maintenance costs and interval failure risks corresponding to each candidate maintenance time within the risk-feasible maintenance window, and solve for the optimal waiting time for maintenance at the current decision time. S73. Determine the optimal maintenance time for the current cycle based on the optimal waiting maintenance time, and output the corresponding maintenance action suggestion.

[0023] Further, step S8 specifically includes: S81. Send the optimal maintenance time and corresponding maintenance action to the wind farm operation and maintenance execution terminal to guide the scheduling of maintenance personnel, spare parts resources and hoisting resources; S82. In the next decision cycle, reacquire the updated online remaining lifetime prediction results, inspection information, environmental status information, and operation and maintenance cost information. S83. Based on the updated input information, repeat the posterior calibration, risk assessment, cost modeling and rolling optimization process to achieve dynamic updating and adaptive optimization of the timing of wind turbine gearbox maintenance.

[0024] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a wind turbine gearbox maintenance decision optimization system in a desert environment. This system applies the above-mentioned method to achieve dynamic updating and adaptive optimization of wind turbine gearbox maintenance timing. The system includes: Data acquisition module: used to acquire online remaining life prediction results, inspection information, environmental status information, and operation and maintenance cost information of wind turbine gearboxes; The post-calibration module is used to input online remaining lifetime prediction results and inspection information into the dual-path calibration network and output the calibrated remaining lifetime probability distribution.

[0025] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention also provide an electronic device, including a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores machine-executable instructions that can be executed by the processor, and the processor executes the machine-executable instructions to implement the above-described method.

[0026] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, compared with the prior art, the method and system disclosed in this invention have the following beneficial effects: 1.

By introducing survival consistency constraints, this invention ensures that the calibrated remaining lifetime results conform to the equipment degradation and evolution laws, avoids abnormal fluctuations in the prediction results over time, and improves the physical rationality of the lifetime prediction results. 3. This invention constructs the failure probability and interval failure risk based on the calibrated remaining lifetime probability distribution, and further solves the maximum safe maintenance interval, so that the maintenance timing selection is transformed from experience-triggered to feasible region optimization under risk constraints, thereby improving the safety of maintenance decisions. 4.

By introducing a multi-unit collaborative maintenance discount mechanism and a rolling optimization strategy, this invention enables dynamic adjustment of maintenance intervals based on equipment status, environmental conditions, and cost levels. It can reduce long-term operation and maintenance costs while meeting risk constraints, and has strong engineering promotion value.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0035] Example 1: Reference Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this invention discloses an optimization method for wind turbine gearbox maintenance decisions in a desert environment, including: S1. Obtain online remaining life prediction results, inspection information, environmental status information, and operation and maintenance cost information of wind turbine gearboxes; S2. Input the online remaining lifetime prediction results and inspection information into the dual-path calibration network, perform posterior calibration on the online remaining lifetime prediction results, and obtain the calibrated remaining lifetime probability distribution; wherein, the dual-path calibration network includes a mean calibration path and an evidence strength modeling path; S3.

S8. Output the corresponding maintenance action according to the optimal maintenance time to guide the preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance or replacement maintenance of the wind turbine gearbox.

[0036] This embodiment is applied to large-scale onshore wind farms, and is particularly suitable for intelligent operation and maintenance scenarios of wind turbines in complex operating environments such as deserts, Gobi, desert edges, high-altitude and large temperature difference areas. In these scenarios, wind turbine gearboxes are subjected to the combined effects of random wind loads, alternating torque, dust erosion, and significant temperature fluctuations over long periods, resulting in a degradation process with obvious uncertainty and time-varying characteristics. Simultaneously, maintenance activities are also affected by factors such as weather windows, road conditions, on-site deployment difficulties, and fluctuations in downtime losses, making traditional maintenance methods that rely on fixed maintenance intervals or point-value remaining life thresholds insufficient to meet risk control and economic operation requirements.

[0037] The operation and maintenance team deploys the method of this invention on the wind farm's remote intelligent operation and maintenance platform or centralized control center: The system periodically receives the online remaining life prediction results of each wind turbine gearbox, manual inspection results, meteorological monitoring data, road condition information, and electricity price information; then, it performs a post-hoc calibration on the original remaining life prediction results and constructs a remaining life probability distribution that can characterize uncertainty by combining inspection evidence; on this basis, it further assesses the failure risk level in the future period of time, and comprehensively considers environmental accessibility, deployment costs, construction costs, power generation losses due to downtime, and opportunities for joint maintenance of multiple units, and automatically generates the current optimal maintenance time and maintenance action suggestions.

[0038] For example, when a turbine's gearbox has entered the mid-to-late stage of degradation, although the online life prediction result has not yet fallen below a fixed threshold, inspection information shows minor anomalies. The system will reduce the confidence of the corresponding prediction result through a dual-path calibration network, widening the posterior remaining life distribution and thus increasing the cumulative failure risk within the future waiting period. If wind speeds are high, dust is increased, and road accessibility is reduced in the next two days, the system will not directly recommend immediate deployment. Instead, it will prioritize searching for a feasible window with more favorable environmental conditions and lower overall costs within the risk threshold. If other turbines have similar maintenance needs during the same period, the system will further trigger a collaborative maintenance discount mechanism, prioritizing the generation of joint maintenance recommendations. Based on this, maintenance personnel can prepare spare parts, hoisting resources, and maintenance teams in advance, completing gearbox maintenance within the planned maintenance window, thereby avoiding potential serious failures and unplanned downtime. The entire process requires no manual calculation, achieving closed-loop optimization from "life prediction" to "risk assessment" to "maintenance decision output," significantly improving the operational availability and maintenance economy of wind farms.

[0039] The implementation steps of this embodiment are described in detail below: According to S1, first obtain the online remaining life prediction results, inspection information, environmental status information, and operation and maintenance cost information of the wind turbine gearbox.

[0040] This embodiment addresses remote intelligent operation and maintenance scenarios for wind farms in complex environments such as deserts, high-altitude areas, large temperature differences, and strong sandstorms. The system is deployed at the wind farm's central control center or intelligent operation and maintenance platform. It periodically receives online remaining life prediction results, manual inspection results, environmental status parameters, and cost parameters for each wind turbine gearbox. This information is then time-aligned and used as input for subsequent post-calibration, risk assessment, and maintenance optimization. The online remaining life prediction results represent the initial estimate of the gearbox's remaining life at the current moment; inspection information provides external prior verification evidence; environmental status information represents the external constraints for maintenance deployment; and operation and maintenance cost-related information reflects the actual economic efficiency of maintenance.

[0041] In this embodiment, the environmental state information can be represented as an environmental state vector:

[0042] in, t Indicates the current moment; Indicates time t wind speed; Indicates time t Ambient temperature; Indicates time t Dust intensity index; Indicates time tThe road accessibility index. The parentheses "( t ")" indicates that the quantity is at time "(". t The function is E, which represents the set of multidimensional environmental variables. This environmental state vector will serve as the input to the subsequent environmental reachability function and time-varying cost model.

[0043] According to S2, the online remaining lifetime prediction results are calibrated a posteriori.

[0044] In this embodiment, the core of step S2 is to construct a dual-path calibration network (DPCS-Net) that integrates online remaining lifetime prediction results and inspection information with survival consistency constraints. This expands the traditional point-value remaining lifetime results into a probability distribution form, so as to simultaneously characterize the prediction center trend and prediction uncertainty. Figure 2 A comparison diagram between online remaining lifetime prediction results and posterior calibration results is provided: Figure 2 In part (a), the original predicted remaining lifetime curve shows significant fluctuations in the later stages of the lifetime. Figure 2 In part (b), after calibration by DPCS-Net, the calibration curve introduces an uncertainty interval while maintaining the overall degradation trend. This indicates that this embodiment does not output only a single point value, but rather outputs a posterior distribution that can be used for risk decision-making.

[0045] set up t The normalized remaining lifetime prediction value output by the always-on online prediction model is The actual remaining lifespan is Inspection information is Given the prediction results and inspection information, the true remaining lifespan follows a Beta posterior distribution, expressed as:

[0046] Its probability density expression is:

[0047] Among them, subscript t This indicates that the variable is taken from the first... t A discrete time point; and For the Beta distribution at time... t Two shape parameters; the vertical bar "|" indicates a conditional distribution, that is, given... and The true remaining lifetime distribution under the given conditions; the symbol "~" indicates compliance; It is the Gamma function; p (·) represents the probability density.

[0048] The reason for using the Beta distribution in this embodiment is that the normalized remaining lifetime is defined between 0 and 1, while the Beta distribution is naturally defined in a unit interval, which is suitable for characterizing the uncertainty of the remaining lifetime. Figure 2 The light blue uncertainty band in part (b) is derived from the variance expression of the posterior distribution.

[0049] To avoid direct confrontation and To address the numerical instability issues introduced by modeling, this embodiment employs a mean-evidence strength parameterization approach. Let the posterior mean be... The strength of evidence is Then we have:

[0050] Under this parameterization, the mean and variance of the Beta distribution are as follows:

[0051] in, This represents the mean; Indicates variance.

[0052] Furthermore, shape parameters can be and The only certainty is: .

[0053] Combination Figure 3 It can be seen that when the inspection information is at a low level for a long time in the early stage of the life cycle (i.e., the value of the inspection information is 0), the inspection information will be affected. A larger value indicates that the model has a high confidence level in the prediction results; as the degree of inspection anomaly increases, As the posterior distribution gradually decreases, it becomes more dispersed, and the uncertainty increases accordingly. Figure 3 The blue curve represents the strength of evidence. The purple curve represents inspection information. The evolution relationship between the two indicates that inspection information mainly affects posterior uncertainty by adjusting the strength of evidence, rather than directly causing abrupt changes in the mean.

[0054] The first path in DPCS-Net is the mean calibration path, which aims to correct system biases without disrupting the original predicted degradation trend. The "original predicted degradation trend" refers to the overall decline in online remaining lifetime predictions as equipment operating time increases; that is, the prediction results decrease as the equipment degradation process progresses. The posterior mean of the calibrated remaining lifetime can be written as:

[0055] in, This is a gate function used to limit the calibration amplitude; Represents the prediction bias drift function; symbol " The symbol "" indicates multiplication. This structure ensures that the calibration results are consistent with the predicted results in terms of the overall degradation trend.

[0056] from Figure 2 The comparison shows that the original prediction curve (i.e., the curve of "original predicted remaining lifetime" in the figure) fluctuates in the later stage. After calibration by the above formula, the posterior mean curve is smoother and closer to the actual degradation trajectory, indicating that the mean calibration path can effectively suppress local bias in the later stage of lifetime.

[0057] The second path in DPCS-Net is the evidence strength modeling path, used to characterize the evolution of the confidence level of the prediction results. Evidence strength can be modeled as a joint function of the prediction results and inspection information, which can be written as:

[0058] in, Indicates by t The strength of the basic evidence determined by the degradation stage at any moment, with the superscript "0" indicating the basic item or the benchmark item before the fusion inspection, rather than the power; For the inspection evidence weighting coefficient and , where the subscript " I This indicates that the parameter is related to inspection information; Indicates the inspection information The mapping function is used to characterize the degree of inspection anomalies.

[0059] It should be noted that inspection information is not directly corrected. Instead, it is through correction Change the concentration of the posterior distribution. Figure 3 The inspection information in the middle of the system showed a jump around approximately 350h and 450h, while The significant decline reflects this mechanism.

[0060] According to S3, a survival consistency constraint is introduced.

[0061] To ensure the physical plausibility of the calibrated remaining lifetime over time, this embodiment introduces a survival consistency constraint, ensuring that the average remaining lifetime after calibration exhibits a non-increasing trend, which can be expressed as:

[0062] Among them, subscript t +1 indicates the current time. t The next adjacent discrete time point; inequality sign " "This means that the average remaining lifetime at subsequent times is not greater than that at the current time"; "Indicates any" t The constraint reflects the physical law that the remaining life of the gearbox will not increase unnecessarily during normal degradation. During training, this constraint is implemented through a soft penalty term, which can be written as:

[0063] in, The subscript "mono" is an abbreviation for monotonic, which means "monotonic constraint loss". Indicates all moments t Summation; This indicates taking the larger value between 0 and the value within the parentheses. When the value is 0, a positive penalty is applied when there is an abnormal increase.

[0064] Combining the mean calibration path, the evidence strength modeling path, and the survival consistency constraint, the training objective can be expressed as:

[0065] in, Represents the total loss function; The subscript "nll" is an abbreviation for negative log-likelihood, representing the negative log-likelihood loss of the Beta distribution; The subscript "mono" also indicates a monotonicity constraint, corresponding to These are constraint weighting coefficients used to balance statistical fit and physical consistency.

[0066] According to S4, calculate the failure probability and construct the interval failure risk.

[0067] After obtaining the posterior distribution, step S4 further maps the probabilistic remaining lifetime result to the risk space. Figure 4 The evolution of failure probability based on the remaining lifetime probability distribution after calibration is presented. From... Figure 4 It is evident that in the early stages of life... and All are relatively high, with a posteriori failure probability close to zero; as decline, The probability of posterior failure decreases, but increases rapidly at the end of the lifespan and exceeds the risk reference threshold, indicating that the amplification of risk comes from the combined effect of "mean degradation + increased uncertainty".

[0068] Let the failure threshold be Define a single-moment failure event as "moment". t If the actual remaining lifetime is not higher than the failure threshold, then the failure probability at a single moment is Beta, distributed in the interval [0, 1]. The cumulative probability, i.e.:

[0069] in, Subscript This indicates failure, or malfunction. Represents a probability operator; Subscript This also indicates that the service is invalid; The parameter is and The cumulative distribution function of the Beta distribution, where the variable before the semicolon ";" is the independent variable and the distribution parameter after it is the distribution parameter.

[0070] At this moment of decision-making If the plan is to be in Maintenance is carried out in a timely manner, including Indicates the length of time waiting for repair. Then, an interval event that fails at least once within the waiting interval can be defined as follows:

[0071] The corresponding interval failure risk can be written as:

[0072] in, express arrive At least one failure event must occur within the interval; Union operation; Indicates the time interval of the event; The subscript "int" is an abbreviation for interval, indicating the risk of interval.

[0073] According to S5, solve for the maximum safe maintenance interval.

[0074] Given a risk threshold The maximum safe maintenance interval is defined as the maximum time length during which maintenance can be delayed while ensuring that the risk of failure within the interval does not exceed the threshold. It can be written as:

[0075] in, The subscript "max" indicates the maximum allowed value. This indicates that the maximum safe maintenance interval depends on the current decision-making time. ;symbol" "Indicates that the conditions are met" All The maximum value in.

[0076] Figure 7The solution results for the rolling optimization under risk constraints are shown, where the purple curve represents... The green curve represents the optimal waiting time. .from Figure 7 It is evident that as equipment degradation deepens, The continuous shrinking indicates that the maximum waiting time allowed by risk constraints is becoming shorter and shorter; while The fact that it remains within the safety boundary indicates that rolling optimization searches for the economically optimal repair time within the risk-feasible region, rather than minimizing costs independently outside the safety boundary.

[0077] Construct an environment reachability function and a time-varying operation and maintenance cost model according to S6.

[0078] In this embodiment, the environmental accessibility function is used to comprehensively characterize the impact of wind speed, temperature, dust, and road conditions on the difficulty of maintenance deployment and the efficiency of on-site construction organization. Multiple soft-gating functions are employed to construct... A ( t To characterize the inhibitory effect of extreme environmental factors on maintenance activities, its expression is:

[0079] in, A ( t () indicates time t Overall environmental accessibility; subscript v , D , T , q These correspond to four components: wind speed, dust, temperature, and road accessibility, respectively. For the Sigmoid function; , , These represent the wind speed sensitivity coefficient, dust sensitivity coefficient, and temperature deviation sensitivity coefficient, respectively. , , These represent the wind speed threshold, dust threshold, and allowable temperature difference threshold, respectively. Indicates the reference ambient temperature; Represents the absolute value function; This indicates the road status item. Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the environmental accessibility function and its components is given. When a certain component decreases significantly, the total accessibility also decreases synchronously, reflecting that the desert environment weakens the feasibility of maintenance.

[0080] In complex environments such as deserts and Gobi, maintenance deployment costs can be expressed as a nonlinear function of environmental accessibility:

[0081] in, Indicates time t The dispatch cost; the subscript "disp" is an abbreviation for dispatch, indicating dispatch; This represents the baseline deployment cost under ideal conditions, with the superscript "0" indicating the ideal conditions. To prevent the lower limit constant from being too small in the denominator; This represents the environmental amplification factor. The formula indicates that when... A ( t The cost of deployment will increase non-linearly as environmental conditions deteriorate.

[0082] On-site operation costs can be expressed as:

[0083] in, Indicates at time t Execute action u The cost of on-site operations; the subscript "work" indicates an operation; Indicates action u The baseline operating cost under ideal conditions, with the superscript "0" indicating that it is under ideal conditions; Indicates the environmental sensitivity coefficient; u This indicates the type of maintenance action, such as preventative maintenance, corrective maintenance, or replacement maintenance. This formula illustrates that the worse the environment, the lower the construction efficiency and the greater the input of labor and equipment.

[0084] In complex environments, the duration of the same maintenance action can be affected by environmental factors. Let the action... u At any moment t The downtime period is:

[0085] in, Indicates action u At any moment t The actual downtime; This indicates the baseline construction period; the superscript "0" indicates the ideal environment. This represents the sensitivity coefficient to the amplification of the construction period. Based on this time-varying downtime, the downtime power generation loss can be expressed as:

[0086] in, The subscript "down" indicates a system shutdown; the minimum integration time is the start time of maintenance. t The upper limit is the time when the shutdown ends. ; Indicates time The electricity price coefficient; This indicates the curtailment factor, with the subscript "curt" being an abbreviation for curtailment. Indicates wind speed The corresponding wind turbine power curve; This indicates that the time interval is integrated over the downtime.

[0087] For joint maintenance of multiple units, this embodiment introduces a collaborative maintenance discount factor:

[0088] in, The subscript "coop" is an abbreviation for cooperation, indicating collaborative maintenance. m This indicates the scale of joint maintenance, specifically the number of gearboxes being maintained simultaneously in the same batch. Indicates the scale effect index; This represents the environmental attenuation coefficient. The above formula shows that as... m Increased costs per unit can be reduced through economies of scale; however, when the environment deteriorates, A ( t When the efficiency of collaborative maintenance decreases, the efficiency of collaborative maintenance will be weakened.

[0089] In summary, a single unit at time t Take action u The total cost at that time can be written as:

[0090] Where the subscript "tot" represents the total cost; variables m Explicitly written into the function's independent variables, this indicates that the total cost is affected by the scale of joint maintenance. Figure 5 The fluctuations in accessibility in the medium environment are the direct source of fluctuations in time-varying costs.

[0091] According to S7, construct the rolling optimization objective function and solve for the optimal maintenance time.

[0092] Within the feasible risk window, this embodiment dynamically selects the repair time with the lowest cost through rolling optimization. Let's assume that at time... Decision-making, if waiting If preventative maintenance is performed after a certain number of time units, the expected cost function can be written as:

[0093] in, Indicates the current decision-making moment Waiting The expected cost; This indicates the cost of preventative maintenance. This indicates the probability of failure occurring during the waiting period. This represents the cost of corrective maintenance. The subscript "PM" stands for preventive maintenance, and the subscript "CM" stands for corrective maintenance. The product in the second item represents the risk-weighted term of "probability of failure during the waiting period" and "corrective maintenance cost after failure".

[0094] The optimal waiting time can be defined as:

[0095] in," "" represents the optimal solution; argmin represents the independent variable that minimizes the objective function; constraint interval This indicates that the search is only conducted within the risk-feasible window.

[0096] Figure 7 Showing and The contrast relationship. Figure 8 This further illustrates the coupled changes in expected cost and interval failure risk: in the early to mid-life, interval failure risk is low, and expected cost changes slowly; in the later life, interval failure risk rapidly approaches the upper limit of risk constraints, and if maintenance is further delayed, expected cost rises sharply. Therefore, this embodiment achieves a dynamic balance between risk constraints and economic efficiency by identifying regions where risk and cost deteriorate simultaneously through rolling optimization.

[0097] According to S8, output maintenance actions.

[0098] Get the optimal waiting time The optimal maintenance time can then be expressed as:

[0099] in, For optimal maintenance time, This is the current decision-making moment. The system will [represent the current moment]. The corresponding maintenance actions are sent to the operation and maintenance execution terminal for the purpose of arranging personnel, spare parts, and hoisting resources.

[0100] See Figure 6The diagram illustrates the evolution trajectory of the gearbox's posterior remaining life under different maintenance actions. The light red dashed line represents the warning threshold; the green dashed line represents the PM threshold, triggered when the gearbox's remaining life degradation curve reaches 0.2; and the blue dashed line represents the RP threshold, triggered when the gearbox's remaining life degradation curve reaches 0. When the posterior remaining life decreases to the preventative maintenance range, the system prioritizes outputting the PM action; if the degradation further deepens and approaches the replacement threshold, the system outputs the RP action. The PM and RP markers in the diagram indicate that this embodiment does not simply trigger mechanically at the threshold, but rather dynamically reshapes the posterior remaining life trajectory under the combined constraints of risk, environment, and cost, thereby delaying failure and controlling total cost.

[0101] In summary, this embodiment expands online remaining lifetime prediction results from single-point values ​​to probability distributions by constructing a DPCS-Net calibration mechanism based on a Beta posterior distribution; it achieves an explicit expression of the maintenance decision risk boundary through joint modeling of single-moment failure probability, interval failure risk, and maximum safe maintenance interval; and it enables dynamic adjustment of maintenance timing based on degradation status and operating environment through the coordinated design of environmental accessibility functions, time-varying cost models, and rolling optimization objective functions. Figures 2 to 8 As can be seen, this embodiment can not only improve the prediction of jitter in the later stage of life and introduce reasonable uncertainty expression, but also output more engineering-executable maintenance strategies in complex environments.

[0103] The system can be deployed on the wind farm control center server or cloud-based intelligent operation and maintenance platform. It can automatically trigger calculations according to preset time cycles or when inspection information or meteorological conditions change, and output maintenance suggestions, planning windows and resource scheduling information to the operation and maintenance execution terminal.

This platform integrates online remaining life prediction, inspection information fusion, failure risk assessment, environmental accessibility modeling, and maintenance decision optimization into a unified processing flow. After all modules work together, the remaining life prediction results of the gearbox can be expanded from point values ​​to a probability distribution, and further generate risk-feasible maintenance windows, optimal maintenance times, maintenance action suggestions, and resource scheduling information. This information is used to assist in the formulation of maintenance plans, spare parts preparation, and shift scheduling for gearboxes in barren and desert wind farms.
