Effective early warning of wind turbine failures is of great significance to reduce the operation and maintenance costs of wind farms and improve power generation efficiency. At present, most wind farms are installed with supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, and SCADA data contains a lot of hidden information, which can be used for fault early warning. This paper uses the generator temperature and gearbox oil temperature in the SCADA data as the entry point for fault warning. Firstly, the eXtreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) algorithm is used to establish the normal temperature regression prediction model of wind turbine components. Then, the residual between the predicted value and the actual value is calculated, and the change trend of the residual is monitored by the principle of exponentially weighted moving-average (EWMA) control chart. Finally, by setting an appropriate threshold, the variation trend of the residual is judged to determine the occurrence and development of the fault. This paper uses two fault detection methods: fixed threshold and dynamic threshold based on adaptive algorithm, and compares the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods. Based on the SCADA data of a wind farm in Inner Mongolia (China), this paper designs the fault early warning test of the wind turbine generator and gearbox. The experimental results show that for the generator, the fixed fault threshold method can give the fault alarm 3 hours in advance, while the dynamic fault threshold determination method can give fault alarm 4.25 hours in advance. For gearbox, the fixed fault threshold method can give the fault alarm 2 hours in advance, while the dynamic threshold fault diagnosis method can send out the fault alarm 2.75 hours in advance.
The state of charge (SOC) estimation of the battery is one of the important functions of the battery management system of the electric vehicle, and the accurate SOC estimation is of great significance to the safe operation of the electric vehicle and the service life of the battery. Among the existing SOC estimation methods, the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) algorithm is widely used for SOC estimation due to its lossless transformation and high estimation accuracy. However, the traditional UKF algorithm is greatly affected by system noise and observation noise during SOC estimation. Therefore, we took the lithium cobalt oxide battery as the analysis object, and designed an adaptive unscented Kalman filter (AUKF) algorithm based on innovation and residuals to estimate SOC. Firstly, the second-order RC equivalent circuit model was established according to the physical characteristics of the battery, and the least square method was used to identify the parameters of the model and verify the model accuracy. Then, the AUKF algorithm was used for SOC estimation; the AUKF algorithm monitors the changes of innovation and residual in the filter and updates system noise covariance and observation noise covariance in real time using innovation and residual, so as to adjust the gain of the filter and realize the optimal estimation. Finally came the error comparison analysis of the estimation results of the UKF algorithm and AUKF algorithm; the results prove that the accuracy of the AUKF algorithm is 2.6% better than that of UKF algorithm.
Wind turbine fault diagnosis and early warning are important to reduce wind farm operation and maintenance costs and improve power generation efficiency. In this paper, we take the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) data as the research object and research wind turbine health data purification, fault diagnosis model building, and unit operation status monitoring from a completely data-driven perspective. Firstly, for the problem that Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm cannot identify high-density anomalous data. An anomaly data processing scheme combining a density clustering algorithm and normal power interval estimation is proposed. The accuracy of extracting health data from wind turbines is improved. Secondly, to address the problem that the eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm has more hyperparameters, we propose an optimization scheme based on the Bayesian Optimization Algorithm (BOA) and tree model for feature weight measurement, which improves the efficiency and accuracy of intuitive mapping from SCADA system monitoring data to fault features. Finally, a wind turbine condition monitoring scheme based on the information fusion of multi-characteristic monitoring parameters is designed. The wind turbine condition monitoring scheme proposed in this paper can warn generator system failure 3.67 hours, gearbox system failure 5.17 hours in advance, and hydraulic system failure 2.33 hours in advance.
The development of industry 4.0 has put forward higher requirements for modern milling technology. Monitoring the degree of milling tool wear during machine tool processing can improve product quality and reduce production losses. In the machining process of machine tools, many kinds of tools are usually used, and the signal characteristics of various sensors of different tools are different. Therefore, before the tool wear assessment, this paper identified the tool type according to the spindle current data. After the tool type recognition, this paper evaluates the tool wear degree according to the tool force data, vibration data, acoustic emission signal, and other multi-sensor data. Firstly, the Elman neural network and Adaboost algorithm are combined to construct the Elman_Adaboost strong predictor. Then, the variance and mean of seven sensor data were selected as the characteristic quantities to input the strong predictor. Finally, three wear quantities were obtained to measure the wear degree of the tool. The method proposed in this paper is implemented by Matlab, and the validity of this method is verified using the competition data provided by PHM (Prognostics and Health Management) Society. The results show that the average evaluation accuracy of the same tool wear is more than 92%, and that of the similar tool wear is more than 85%.
At present, some achievements have been made in the research on the energy management of microgrid operation. However, the research is mainly on the operation of grid-connected microgrid, while the research on the energy management of islanded microgrid is still relatively few. Frequency is one of the characteristics that affects the reliability and power quality of the microgrid. The essence of controlling frequency stability is to maintain source-load balance and redistribution of active power. Therefore, this paper proposes a frequency control strategy based on dynamically cutting machine to reduce load by analyzing the use priority of different distributed power supply and the division of load importance degree, and combining the influence degree of different frequency variation range on microgrid. To coordinate and control distributed power supply, energy storage device, and load in different frequency change areas, this paper proposes different control strategies. The seed strategies of the control strategy are discussed one by one. Experimental results show that the frequency control strategy can significantly improve the frequency stability of the power supply system and reduce the operating cost of islanded microgrid.
