Advanced Algorithms for Wind Turbine Condition Monitoring and Fault Diagnosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The work undertaken in this research focuses on advanced condition monitoring and fault detection methods for wind turbines (WTs). Fourier Transform (FFT) and Short Time Fourier transform (STFT) algorithms are proposed to effectively extract fault signatures in generator current signals (GCS) for WT fault diagnosis. With this aim, a WT model has been implemented in the MATLAB/Simulink environment to validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms. The results obtained with this model are validated with experimental data measured from a physical test rig. The detection of rotor eccentricity is discussed and conclusions drawn on the applicability of frequency tracking algorithms. The newly developed algorithms are compared with a published method to establish their advantages and limitations.

متن کاملWind Turbine Condition Monitoring and Fault Diagnosis using Wavelet Transforms
Some large wind turbines use a synchronous generator directly-coupled to the turbine. This paper considers condition monitoring and diagnosis of mechanical and electrical faults in such a variable speed machine. The application of wavelet transforms is investigated because of the disadvantages of conventional spectral techniques in processing instantaneous turbine signals. In this paper a new c...
