High-frequency distortion phenomenon and solution of low frequency vibration sensor

Abstract

Abstract This paper analyzes the difference between several acceleration over-limit faults, and finds out the cause of false acceleration fault of wind turbines, which is because the low-frequency vibration sensor used by the unit is interfered with the high-frequency signal generated by the friction of the yaw system and causes the sensor output signal distortion. The performance of different manufacturers’ sensors under different installation positions is reproduced on the spot. A cost-effective solution to the high frequency distortion problem (installing a physical low-pass filter) is developed, and the comparative test results before and after its application are demonstrated experimentally.
