Working Condition Identification Method of Wind Turbine Drivetrain

Abstract

The operation state of the wind turbine drivetrain is complex and variable, making it difficult to accurately evaluate under the drivetrain’s anomalies. In order to accurately identify the operating state of the main drivetrain, a method for working condition identification is proposed. Firstly, appropriate working condition identification parameters are selected and distinguished from the working condition feature parameters. Secondly, the aerodynamic power prediction model is established, which solves the problem of inaccurate theoretical estimation. Finally, after the historical working conditions are classified, the working condition identification model is established, and the proposed method is analyzed and validated by cases. The results show that the method can accurately identify the working conditions, avoiding the influence of an abnormal state of drivetrain, and provide a basis for real-time state monitoring and evaluation.
