DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0024] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, but it is clear that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and are not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without any creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] In response to the disadvantages of the related art in that possible faults that may occur in offshore wind turbines are investigated one by one based on past experience, which wastes human resources and takes time, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a method for identifying vibration limit exceeding faults in offshore wind turbines that can be applied to any electronic device or processor, and determines the fault identification result of the offshore turbine by processing and analyzing vibration acceleration data of the offshore turbine.

[0026] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a method for identifying vibration limit exceeding faults in an offshore wind turbine is provided. It is noted that the steps illustrated in the flow charts in the figures may be performed in a computer system, such as in computer-executable instructions, and that although a logical order is shown in the flow charts, in some cases the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than shown.

[0027] In this embodiment, a method for identifying a vibration limit exceeding fault of an offshore wind turbine is provided, which can be applied to the above-mentioned electronic device and processor, etc. Fig. 1 is a flow chart of a method for identifying a vibration limit exceeding fault of an offshore wind turbine according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in Fig. 1, the flow includes the following steps S101 to S104.

[0028] Step S101: When a vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in an offshore turbine, first vibration acceleration data within a preset period before the vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine, second vibration acceleration data during the vibration limit exceeding fault stage, and third vibration acceleration data during the turbine stop stage are obtained.

[0029] For example, the occurrence of a vibration limit exceeding fault in an offshore turbine refers to determining that a vibration limit exceeding fault has occurred in the offshore turbine when the vibration of the offshore turbine exceeds a preset management threshold. The first vibration acceleration, the second vibration acceleration, and the third vibration acceleration are collected by a vibration acceleration sensor preset in the turbine, and the vibration acceleration sensor collects vibration acceleration data of the offshore turbine in real time based on preset sampling, and the first vibration acceleration data may be data within a preset period before the vibration limit exceeding fault occurs, and the preset period may be any period, and the preset period is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present application and may be determined as necessary by those skilled in the art, and in the embodiments of the present application, the preset period may include, but is not limited to, one minute.

[0030] Step S102: Perform Fourier spectrum analysis on each of the first vibration acceleration data, the second vibration acceleration data, and the third vibration acceleration data to obtain a first frequency corresponding to the first vibration acceleration data, a second frequency corresponding to the second vibration acceleration data, and a third frequency corresponding to the third vibration acceleration data. The first frequency is an excitation frequency of the turbine in a normal impeller rotation stage before a vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine, the second frequency is an excitation frequency of the turbine when a vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine, and the third frequency is a natural frequency of the offshore turbine in a stopped stage.

[0031] Illustratively, in the embodiment of the present application, the Fourier spectrum analysis refers to dividing and analyzing the vibration signal in the time domain, and acquiring the frequency at which the power spectrum density is maximum as the main frequency within that period. The vibration acceleration sensor may collect vibration acceleration data in two directions, X (parallel to the wind surface of the blade) and Y (perpendicular to the wind surface of the blade) in the nacelle of the turbine, and information on the change over time of the vibration acceleration in the Y direction of the first vibration acceleration is shown in FIG. 2A, and the result of performing Fourier spectrum analysis on the vibration acceleration data in the Y direction of the first vibration acceleration is shown in FIG. 2B. As can be seen from FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, the time domain data of the vibration acceleration of the nacelle in the Y direction in the time range of -60s to -20s is converted into a curve of the relationship between the autospectral density amplitude and frequency by Fourier transform, and the energy (amplitude) is 0.53 at maximum, and the vibration frequency corresponding to the maximum energy is 0.275Hz, which is based on the vibration excitation frequency in the Y direction during the normal operation phase of the turbine. Information on the change over time of the vibration acceleration in the Y direction among the second vibration acceleration is shown in FIG. 2C, and the result of performing Fourier spectrum analysis on the second vibration acceleration is shown in FIG. 2D. As can be seen from FIG. 2C and FIG. 2D, the time domain data of the vibration acceleration of the nacelle in the Y direction in the time range of -10s to 10s is converted into a curve of the relationship between the frequency domain amplitude and frequency by Fourier transform, and the energy (amplitude) is a maximum of 0.313, and the vibration frequency corresponding to the maximum energy is 0.35Hz, which is based on the vibration frequency in the Y direction at the stage of exceeding the vibration limit of the turbine. Information on the change over time of the vibration acceleration in the Y direction among the third vibration acceleration is shown in FIG. 2E, and the result of performing Fourier spectrum analysis on the third vibration acceleration is shown in FIG. 2F. As can be seen from Figures 2E and 2F, in the time range of 20 s to 60 s, the time domain data of the vibration acceleration of the nacelle in the Y direction was Fourier transformed, and the maximum energy was 0.144, and the vibration frequency corresponding to the maximum energy was 0.325 Hz, which is based on the vibration frequency in the Y direction during the turbine stopping phase and is close to the overall natural frequency, i.e., the natural frequency.Information on the change over time of the vibration acceleration in the X direction among the first vibration acceleration is shown in FIG. 2G, and the result of performing Fourier spectrum analysis on the first vibration acceleration is shown in FIG. 2H. As can be seen from FIG. 2G and FIG. 2H, the time domain data of the vibration acceleration of the nacelle in the X direction in the time range of -60s to -20s is converted into frequency domain amplitude by Fourier transform, and the maximum energy is 0.069, and the vibration frequency corresponding to the maximum energy is 0.325Hz, which is based on the vibration excitation frequency in the X direction in the normal operation phase of the turbine. Information on the change over time of the vibration acceleration in the X direction among the second vibration acceleration is shown in FIG. 2I, and the result of performing Fourier spectrum analysis on the second vibration acceleration is shown in FIG. 2J. As can be seen from FIG. 2I and FIG. 2J, in the time range of -10s to 10s, the time domain data of the vibration acceleration of the nacelle in the X direction was transformed into a curve of the relationship between the frequency domain amplitude and frequency by Fourier transformation, and the maximum energy was 0.187, and the vibration frequency corresponding to the maximum energy was 0.35Hz, which is based on the vibration frequency in the X direction of the turbine vibration limit exceeding stage. The information of the change over time of the vibration acceleration in the X direction of the third vibration acceleration is shown in FIG. 2K, and the result of Fourier spectrum analysis on the third vibration acceleration is shown in FIG. 2L. As can be seen from FIG. 2K and FIG. 2L, in the time range of 20s to 60s, the time domain data of the vibration acceleration of the nacelle in the X direction was transformed into a curve of the frequency domain amplitude and frequency, which is close to the natural frequency of the whole, i.e., the natural frequency. The frequency data of each stage obtained above is shown in Table 1 below.

[0033] Step S103: Determine a first deviation value between the first frequency and the third frequency, and a second deviation value between the second frequency and the third frequency.

[0034] For example, the first deviation value refers to a difference value between the first frequency and the third frequency, and the second deviation value refers to a deviation value between the second frequency and the third frequency. In the embodiment of the present application, the data Y in Table 1 is analyzed, and it is found that the vibration response frequency of the vibration acceleration of the nacelle during the operation of the turbine is about 0.275Hz and 0.35Hz, and the vibration frequency after the turbine is stopped is 0.325Hz, the first deviation value is a value obtained by subtracting 0.325Hz from 0.275Hz, and the second deviation value is a value obtained by subtracting 0.325Hz from 0.35Hz.

[0035] Step S104: Determine whether a resonance limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine according to the first deviation value, the second deviation value, and the preset deviation value, and obtain a fault identification result.

[0036] For example, the preset deviation value may be any value, and in the embodiment of the present application, the preset deviation value is not particularly limited and may be determined as necessary by a person skilled in the art. In the embodiment of the present application, the preset deviation value may include, but is not limited to, 0.05, and when the first deviation value or the second deviation value is less than 0.05, it is determined that a resonance limit exceeding fault has occurred in the offshore turbine.

[0037] In the method for identifying a vibration limit exceeding fault of an offshore wind power turbine according to the present embodiment, when a resonance limit exceeding fault occurs in an offshore turbine, a Fourier spectrum analysis is performed on first vibration acceleration data within a preset period before the occurrence of a vibration limit exceeding fault in the offshore turbine, second vibration acceleration data in the vibration limit exceeding fault stage, and third vibration acceleration data in the turbine stop stage to obtain an excitation frequency of the turbine in an impeller normal rotation stage before the occurrence of a vibration limit exceeding fault in the offshore turbine, an excitation frequency of the turbine when a vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine, and a natural frequency of the offshore turbine stop stage. Then, based on a first deviation value between the excitation frequency and the natural frequency of the turbine in the impeller normal rotation stage, a second deviation value between the excitation frequency and the natural frequency of the turbine in which a vibration limit exceeding fault has occurred, and the preset deviation value, it is determined whether a resonance limit exceeding fault has occurred in the offshore turbine, thereby realizing intelligent diagnosis of the vibration fault of the offshore turbine, and the cause of the vibration limit exceeding fault of the offshore turbine can be identified by analyzing the vibration acceleration data of the offshore turbine, thereby solving the problems in the related art of wasting human resources and taking time caused by manual troubleshooting.

[0038] In this embodiment, a method for identifying a vibration limit exceeding fault of an offshore wind turbine is provided, which can be applied to the above-mentioned electronic device and processor, etc. Fig. 3 is a flow chart of a method for identifying a vibration limit exceeding fault of an offshore wind turbine according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in Fig. 3, this flow includes the following steps S301 to S305.

[0039] Step S301: When a vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in an offshore turbine, first vibration acceleration data within a preset period before the vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine, second vibration acceleration data in the vibration limit exceeding fault stage, and third vibration acceleration data in the turbine stop stage are obtained. For details, refer to step S101 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0040] Step S302: Fourier spectrum analysis is performed on each of the first vibration acceleration data, the second vibration acceleration data, and the third vibration acceleration data to obtain a first frequency corresponding to the first vibration acceleration data, a second frequency corresponding to the second vibration acceleration data, and a third frequency corresponding to the third vibration acceleration data. The first frequency is the excitation frequency of the turbine in the impeller normal rotation stage before the occurrence of a vibration limit exceeding fault in the offshore turbine, the second frequency is the excitation frequency of the turbine when the vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine, and the third frequency is the natural frequency of the offshore turbine stop stage. Details can be referred to step S102 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0041] Step S303: Determine a first deviation value between the first frequency and the third frequency, and a second deviation value between the second frequency and the third frequency. For details, refer to step S103 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] Step S304: Determine whether a resonance limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine based on the first deviation value, the second deviation value, and the preset deviation value, and obtain a fault identification result. For details, refer to step S104 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and thus will not be described in detail here.

[0043] After the above step S304, the method specifically further includes step S305.

[0044] Step S305: Based on the fault identification result, a fault treatment recipe is determined.

[0045] For example, the enemy's fault handling recipe is determined based on the fault identification result. For example, when the turbine has a resonance limit exceeding fault, a corresponding solution can be provided according to the resonance limit exceeding fault. When a non-resonance fault occurs, first determine whether the turbine vibration limit exceeding is due to the wind load such as a typhoon, and if the typhoon factor is excluded, determine that it is due to the imbalance of the force received during the rotation of the turbine. The cause is generally a mechanical problem occurring inside the wind turbine, which causes the balance of the force received by the structure during the rotation of the turbine impeller, such as the loss of synchronization of the individual pitch system, the misalignment of the installation position of the standard zero baseline of the three blades, wear on the friction contact surface of the main bearing inside the gearbox, insufficient lubrication of the bearing, incorrect lubrication method, unbalanced rotor mass, loose connection member of the impeller, etc., which causes the vibration limit exceeding fault. Check the possible faults one by one to identify the cause of the fault.

[0046] In a method for identifying vibration limit exceeding faults in an offshore wind power turbine according to an embodiment of the present invention, a fault handling recipe is determined based on the fault identification results, thereby improving the efficiency of operation, maintenance, and inspection work for offshore wind power generation and ensuring safe operation of the turbine.

[0047] In this embodiment, a method for identifying a vibration limit exceeding fault of an offshore wind turbine is provided, which can be applied to the above-mentioned electronic device and processor, etc. Fig. 4 is a flow chart of a method for identifying a vibration limit exceeding fault of an offshore wind turbine according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in Fig. 4, this flow includes the following steps S401 to S408.

[0048] Step S401: When a vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in an offshore turbine, first vibration acceleration data within a preset period before the vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine, second vibration acceleration data in a vibration limit exceeding fault stage, and third vibration acceleration data in a turbine stop stage are obtained. For details, refer to step S101 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0049] Step S402: Fourier spectrum analysis is performed on each of the first vibration acceleration data, the second vibration acceleration data, and the third vibration acceleration data to obtain a first frequency corresponding to the first vibration acceleration data, a second frequency corresponding to the second vibration acceleration data, and a third frequency corresponding to the third vibration acceleration data. The first frequency is the excitation frequency of the turbine in the impeller normal rotation stage before the occurrence of a vibration limit exceeding fault in the offshore turbine, the second frequency is the excitation frequency of the turbine when the vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine, and the third frequency is the natural frequency of the offshore turbine stop stage. Details can be referred to step S102 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0050] Step S403: Determine a first deviation value between the first frequency and the third frequency, and a second deviation value between the second frequency and the third frequency. For details, refer to step S103 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and will not be described in detail here.

[0051] Step S404: Determine whether a resonance limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine based on the first deviation value, the second deviation value, and the preset deviation value, and obtain a fault identification result. For details, refer to step S104 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and thus will not be described in detail here.

[0052] Specifically, after the above step S404, the method further includes steps S405 to S408.

[0053] Step S405: When a resonance limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine, a sweep frequency band of the blades of the offshore turbine is determined based on the rotation speed range of the impeller of the offshore turbine.

[0054] Exemplarily, the impeller speed range is a parameter set for the turbine at the time of shipment, and the sweep frequency band may include, but is not limited to, a 1P frequency band and a 3P frequency band, and the 1P frequency band and the 3P frequency band may be determined based on the impeller speed range, for example, if the RMP range of the impeller speed range is RPM1-RPM2, and the 1P frequency band is the frequency at which the turbine hub rotates once, then the 1P frequency band f1p=RPM1 / 60-RPM2 / 60, and the 3P frequency band is the frequency at which three blades pass through the tower shadow, in this case the 3P frequency band f3p=(RPM1 / 60-RPM2 / 60)*3. In the embodiment of the present application, the sweep frequency band may be the 3P frequency band.

[0055] Step S406: Determine whether the third frequency is within the sweep frequency band. Illustratively, in the embodiment of the present application, determine whether the third frequency is within the 3P frequency band according to the value of the third frequency and the range of the 3P frequency band.

[0056] Step S407: If the third frequency is within the sweep frequency band, determine a resonant rotation speed interval corresponding to the sweep frequency band based on the third frequency.

[0057] For example, in an embodiment of the present application, if the third frequency is outside the 3P frequency band, it is determined that vortex-induced resonance has occurred in the offshore turbine, and if the third frequency is within the 3P frequency band, the 3P resonant speed range is calculated based on the third frequency, and the 3P resonant speed R3P = fs * 60s / 3, where fs is the third resonant frequency, s is the time unit (seconds), and the 3P resonant speed range is ±15% of R3P.

[0058] Step S408: Determine whether a self-excited resonance fault has occurred in the offshore turbine based on the resonance speed interval and the measured impeller speed before the occurrence of a vibration limit exceeding fault in the offshore turbine. For example, if the measured impeller speed before the occurrence of a vibration limit exceeding fault in the offshore turbine is within the resonance speed interval, it is determined that a self-excited resonance fault has occurred in the offshore turbine, and otherwise, it is determined that a vortex-induced resonance fault has occurred in the offshore turbine.

[0063] Step S503: Based on the comparison result, it is determined whether a vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine. For example, if the vibration acceleration is greater than a preset threshold, it is determined that a vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine.

[0064] Step S504: When a vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine, first vibration acceleration data within a preset period before the vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine, second vibration acceleration data in the vibration limit exceeding fault stage, and third vibration acceleration data in the turbine stop stage are obtained. For details, refer to step S101 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0070] Step S601: Obtain vibration acceleration data collected by the first acceleration sensor and vibration acceleration data collected by the second acceleration sensor. Exemplarily, in an embodiment of the present application, two vibration acceleration sensors, the first acceleration sensor and the second acceleration sensor, can be arranged symmetrically along the center line of the main shaft in a nacelle of an offshore turbine.

[0071] Step S602: Based on the vibration acceleration data collected by the first acceleration sensor and the vibration acceleration data collected by the second acceleration sensor, it is determined whether the operation state of the first acceleration sensor and the second acceleration sensor is normal.

Specifically, if there is a sudden change in the amplitude of a total of four sets of data in the X direction and the Y direction by the two acceleration sensors installed in the turbine nacelle, it indicates that a failure has occurred in the sensor, and if the amplitudes of a total of four sets of data in the X direction and the Y direction by the two acceleration sensors installed in the turbine nacelle are close, it indicates that the operation state of the sensor is reliable and no jump abnormality occurs in the data.

[0072] Step S603: If the operating conditions of the first acceleration sensor and the second acceleration sensor are normal, determine whether or not a vibration limit exceeding fault has occurred in the offshore turbine based on the vibration acceleration data collected by the first acceleration sensor and the vibration acceleration data collected by the second acceleration sensor. Exemplarily, if the operating conditions of the first acceleration sensor and the second acceleration sensor are normal as a result of the monitoring, further determine whether or not a vibration limit exceeding fault has occurred in the offshore turbine based on the vibration acceleration data collected by the acceleration sensors.

[0073] Step S604: When it is determined that a vibration limit exceeding fault has occurred in the offshore turbine, a stop control command is sent to the offshore turbine. For example, when a vibration limit exceeding fault has occurred in the offshore turbine, the offshore turbine is controlled to stop.

[0074] Step S605: When a vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine, first vibration acceleration data within a preset period before the vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine, second vibration acceleration data in the vibration limit exceeding fault stage, and third vibration acceleration data in the turbine stop stage are obtained. For details, refer to step S101 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0075] Step S606: Fourier spectrum analysis is performed on each of the first vibration acceleration data, the second vibration acceleration data, and the third vibration acceleration data to obtain a first frequency corresponding to the first vibration acceleration data, a second frequency corresponding to the second vibration acceleration data, and a third frequency corresponding to the third vibration acceleration data. The first frequency is the excitation frequency of the turbine in the impeller normal rotation stage before the occurrence of a vibration limit exceeding fault in the offshore turbine, the second frequency is the excitation frequency of the turbine when the vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine, and the third frequency is the natural frequency of the offshore turbine stop stage. Details can be referred to step S102 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, so they will not be described in detail here.

For details, refer to step S104 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and thus will not be described in detail here.

[0078] The method for identifying vibration limit exceeding faults in offshore wind turbines according to an embodiment of the present invention can more accurately determine whether a resonance limit exceeding fault has occurred in the offshore turbine, and effectively solve the problem of turbine shutdown due to the abnormal operating state of the vibration sensor.

[0079] In this embodiment, a method for identifying a vibration limit exceeding fault of an offshore wind turbine is provided, which can be applied to the above-mentioned electronic device and processor, etc. Fig. 7 is a flow chart of a method for identifying a vibration limit exceeding fault of an offshore wind turbine according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in Fig. 7, this flow includes the following steps S701 to S708.

[0080] Step S701: Obtain vibration acceleration data collected by the first acceleration sensor and vibration acceleration data collected by the second acceleration sensor. For details, refer to step S601 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, so a detailed description will not be given here.

[0081] Step S702: Determine whether the operating states of the first acceleration sensor and the second acceleration sensor are normal based on the vibration acceleration data collected by the first acceleration sensor and the vibration acceleration data collected by the second acceleration sensor. For example, the details can be referred to step S602 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0082] Step S703: If the operating status of the first acceleration sensor and the second acceleration sensor is normal, determine whether a vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine based on the vibration acceleration data collected by the first acceleration sensor and the vibration acceleration data collected by the second acceleration sensor. For details, refer to step S603 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and will not be described in detail here.

[0083] In some preferred embodiments, the above step S703 includes steps S7031 and S7032.

[0084] Step S7031: Compare the vibration acceleration data collected by the first acceleration sensor and the vibration acceleration data collected by the second acceleration sensor with a preset threshold value, respectively, to obtain a comparison result. Illustratively, the preset threshold value may be a management threshold value of vibration acceleration determined according to actual needs.

[0085] Step S7032: If the vibration acceleration data collected by the first acceleration sensor is greater than a preset threshold and / or if the vibration acceleration data collected by the second acceleration sensor is greater than a preset threshold, it is determined that a vibration limit exceeding fault has occurred in the offshore turbine. Exemplarily, if the comparison result of the vibration acceleration collected by at least one vibration acceleration sensor is greater than a preset threshold, a vibration limit exceeding fault has occurred in the offshore turbine.

[0086] Step S704: If it is determined that a vibration limit exceeding fault has occurred in the offshore turbine, a shutdown control command is sent to the offshore turbine. For details, refer to step S504 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and therefore, detailed description will not be given here.

[0087] Step S705: When a vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine, first vibration acceleration data within a preset period before the vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine, second vibration acceleration data in the vibration limit exceeding fault stage, and third vibration acceleration data in the turbine stop stage are obtained. For details, refer to step S101 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0088] In some preferred embodiments, step S705 includes steps S7051 and S7052.

[0089] Step S7051: When a vibration limit exceeding failure occurs in an offshore turbine, first initial vibration acceleration data within a preset period before the vibration limit exceeding failure occurs in the offshore turbine, second initial vibration acceleration data during the vibration limit exceeding failure stage, and third initial vibration acceleration data during the turbine stop stage are obtained.

[0090] Exemplarily, in an embodiment of the present application, the first initial vibration acceleration data, the second initial vibration acceleration data, and the third initial vibration acceleration data may be original data collected by a vibration acceleration sensor.

[0091] Step S7052: Signal zero padding processing is performed on each of the first initial vibration acceleration data, the second initial vibration acceleration data, and the third initial vibration acceleration data to obtain first vibration acceleration data corresponding to the first initial vibration acceleration data, second vibration acceleration data corresponding to the second initial vibration acceleration data, and third vibration acceleration data corresponding to the third initial vibration acceleration data.

[0092] For example, when performing Fourier FFT spectrum analysis, the length of data collected on-site is limited, and the frequency resolution often does not meet the requirements, where FFT frequency resolution=sampling frequency / FFT length. In order to improve the accuracy of spectrum analysis, a vibration signal zero padding method is used to add a vibration signal with zero amplitude for a certain period of time to the vibration signal, which can effectively extend the FFT length, shorten the frequency analysis interval, and obtain a high-precision spectrum analysis result. In the embodiment of the present application, the first initial vibration acceleration data, the second initial vibration acceleration data, and the third initial vibration acceleration data are subjected to signal zero padding processing, thereby improving the accuracy of the subsequent spectrum analysis result.

[0093] Step S706: Fourier spectrum analysis is performed on each of the first vibration acceleration data, the second vibration acceleration data, and the third vibration acceleration data to obtain a first frequency corresponding to the first vibration acceleration data, a second frequency corresponding to the second vibration acceleration data, and a third frequency corresponding to the third vibration acceleration data. The first frequency is the excitation frequency of the turbine in the impeller normal rotation stage before the occurrence of a vibration limit exceeding fault in the offshore turbine, the second frequency is the excitation frequency of the turbine when the vibration limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine, and the third frequency is the natural frequency of the offshore turbine stop stage. Details can be referred to step S102 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0094] Step S707: determine a first deviation value between the first frequency and the third frequency, and a second deviation value between the second frequency and the third frequency. For details, refer to step S103 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and will not be described in detail here.

[0095] Step S708: Determine whether a resonance limit exceeding fault occurs in the offshore turbine based on the first deviation value, the second deviation value, and the preset deviation value, and obtain a fault identification result. For details, refer to step S104 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and thus will not be described in detail here.

[0096] The method for identifying vibration limit exceeding faults of offshore wind power turbines according to this embodiment realizes intelligent diagnosis of vibration faults of offshore turbines, and can identify the cause of vibration limit exceeding faults of offshore turbines by analyzing the vibration acceleration data of the offshore turbine, thereby solving the problems in the related art of wasting human resources and taking time caused by manual troubleshooting.

[0097] The following describes specific steps of the method for identifying vibration limit exceeding faults in an offshore wind turbine according to one particular embodiment. Working Example

[0098] Step 1: In the nacelle, two vibration acceleration sensors are arranged symmetrically along the center line of the main shaft and installed according to a redundant design to measure changes in the vibration acceleration of the two components X and Y of the nacelle, an anemometer is arranged on the top of the outside of the nacelle to measure environmental data such as wind speed, the turbine hub rotation speed test module measures the rotation speed data of the turbine impeller, and the pitch angle sensor monitors the pitch angle of the turbine blades.

[0099] Step 2: For vibration acceleration, the monitoring data is recorded in real time at the default frequency of 50Hz. If the turbine is operating normally, the acceleration data is dynamically processed at intervals of 1h, and only the monitoring results for 1s, i.e., a sampling frequency of 1Hz, are retained. If the actual measured acceleration during turbine operation exceeds the set management threshold, it is determined that a vibration limit exceeding fault has occurred, and two minutes of data before and after the limit is exceeded is automatically recorded at a sampling frequency of 50Hz.

[0100] Step 3: Determine whether a jump anomaly occurs in the acceleration data. If there is a sudden change in the amplitude of the four sets of data in the X and Y directions of the two acceleration sensors installed in the turbine nacelle, it indicates that a sensor failure occurs; if the amplitudes of the four sets of data in the X and Y directions of the two acceleration sensors installed in the turbine nacelle are close, the sensor is in good working condition, no jump anomaly occurs in the data, and it is beyond the normal limit, and further spectrum analysis is performed on the data.

[0101] Step 4: Then, perform Fourier spectrum analysis on each of the vibration acceleration components in the two directions X and Y monitored by the sensor to obtain the turbine excitation frequency during the normal impeller rotation phase before the turbine limit is exceeded, the excitation frequency during the limit exceeding phase, and the turbine natural frequency fs within a specified time after the turbine impeller stops. If the deviation between the turbine operating excitation frequency and the natural frequency is within ±5%, it is determined to be a resonance limit exceeding fault, and if the frequency deviation is outside ±5%, it is determined to be a non-resonance limit exceeding fault.

[0102] Step 5: In case of resonance limit exceeding fault, further identify the cause of the fault. Calculate the 1P frequency and 3P frequency bandwidth in the impeller speed range, judge whether the measured natural frequency of the turbine is within the 3P frequency band, if it is within the 3P frequency band, calculate the turbine's 3P resonant speed R3P by the formula R3P=fs*60s / 3, set the 3P resonant speed interval as ±15% of R3P, if there is an overlap between the measured impeller speed before the turbine limit exceeding and the 3P resonant speed interval, it is determined that the cause of the turbine vibration limit exceeding is the 3P self-excited resonance, otherwise it is determined that the turbine has vortex-induced resonance due to external factors such as wind field.

[0103] Step 6: For non-resonant faults, first determine whether the turbine vibration limit exceedance is caused by wind load such as typhoon. If the typhoon factor is excluded, determine that it is caused by the imbalance of the forces received during the rotation of the turbine. The cause is generally a mechanical problem inside the wind turbine, which causes the balance of the forces received by the structure during the rotation of the turbine impeller, such as the loss of synchronization of the individual pitch system, the misalignment of the installation position of the standard zero baseline of the three blades, the wear of the friction contact surface of the main bearing inside the gearbox, insufficient lubrication of the bearing, incorrect lubrication method, unbalanced rotor mass, loose connection parts of the impeller, etc., resulting in a vibration limit exceedance fault. Check the possible faults one by one to identify the cause of the fault.

[0104] Specifically, when performing Fourier FFT spectrum analysis, the length of the data collected on-site is limited, and the frequency resolution often does not meet the requirements, where FFT frequency resolution = sampling frequency / FFT length. In order to improve the accuracy of spectrum analysis, the vibration signal zero padding method is used to add a vibration signal with zero amplitude for a certain period of time to the vibration signal, which can effectively extend the FFT length and shorten the frequency analysis interval to obtain high-precision spectrum analysis results.

[0105] The vibration signal tested in the field by the vibration acceleration sensor contains various noise interference information during the generation and transmission process. Due to the harsh marine environment, it is necessary to filter the time-domain vibration signal during the Fourier spectrum analysis. A low-pass filter is placed as necessary to filter out the high-frequency signal, obtain frequency-domain data within the actual range of the overall frequency of the offshore wind turbine, and eliminate the interference signal.

[0106] Test data from vibration acceleration sensors shows that the marine environment is a harsh environment with severe salt spray and corrosion, which can easily affect the sensor junctions and cause abnormalities in the transmission of data by the sensor. If the data suddenly surges and far exceeds the acceleration management threshold, the control strategy will stop the wind turbine, affecting normal power generation. This problem can be avoided by data analysis, regular maintenance of the sensor, or by connecting the data cable to the sensor using a gold or silver metal connector that is resistant to salt spray and corrosion.
