Abstract The fault diagnosis of gearbox and bearing in wind turbine is crucial to improve service life and reduce maintenance cost. This paper proposes a novel fault diagnosis method based on refined generalized composite multi-scale state joint entropy (RGCMSJE), robust spectral learning framework for unsupervised feature selection (RSFS) and extreme learning machine (ELM) to identify the different health conditions of gearboxes, including feature extraction, feature reduction and pattern recognition. In this method, MAED is firstly adopted to assist RGCMSJE in parameter selection. Second, RGCMSJE is utilized to extract the multi-scale features of gearbox vibration signal and construct high-dimension feature set. Thirdly, RSFS method is used to reduce the dimension of high-dimensional RGCMSJE feature set. In the end, the obtained low-dimensional features are input to the ELM classifier to realize fault pattern recognition. Through two gearbox fault diagnosis experiments, the effectiveness of the fault diagnosis method is verified. The analysis results show that this method can effectively and accurately identify different fault types of wind turbine gearbox.

Fault diagnosis of wind turbine gearbox is significant to ensure the operating efficiency and reduce the maintenance cost of wind farms. The key to achieve an accurate fault diagnosis is to extract the evidence of fault state identification effectively. Dynamic time warping has been widely used as a classifier for automatic pattern recognition as the dynamic time warping distance can indicate the similarity between two data sequences. The similarity between the analyzed signal and the template signal can be an evidence for characterizing the fault types of the analyzed signal; a generalized multi-scale dynamic time warping algorithm was accordingly developed in this article to quantitatively evaluate the condition information of wind turbine gearbox by calculating the generalized multi-scale dynamic time warping distances between the template signal (i.e. the vibration signal of wind turbine gearbox in normal state) and the testing signal (i.e. the vibration signals of wind turbine gearbox to be analyzed). Then, the sensitive features of the condition information evaluation results obtained via the generalized multi-scale dynamic time warping algorithm were selected by the Laplace Score approach to construct the eigenvector. Finally, random forest was introduced to realize the intelligent fault recognition of wind turbine gearbox. The analysis results of both experimental and engineering signals indicate that the presented method can accurately identify different fault states of wind turbine gearbox. In addition, the proposed method performs a higher accuracy of fault state classification compared with some existing methods.

As multivariate time series problems widely exist in social production and life, fault diagnosis method has provided people with a lot of valuable information in the finance, hydrology, meteorology, earthquake, video surveillance, medical science, and other fields. In order to find faults in time sequence quickly and efficiently, this paper presents a multivariate time series processing method based on Riemannian manifold. This method is based on the sliding window and uses the covariance matrix as a descriptor of the time sequence. Riemannian distance is used as the similarity measure and the statistical process control diagram is applied to detect the abnormity of multivariate time series. And the visualization of the covariance matrix distribution is used to detect the abnormity of mechanical equipment, leading to realize the fault diagnosis. With wind turbine gearbox faults as the experiment object, the fault diagnosis method is verified and the results show that the method is reasonable and effective.

Improve Cost

The gearbox is one of the most fragile parts of a wind turbine (WT). Fault diagnosis of the WT gearbox is of great importance to reduce operation and maintenance (O&M) costs and improve cost-effectiveness. At present, intelligent fault diagnosis methods based on long short-term memory (LSTM) networks have been widely adopted. As the traditional softmax loss of an LSTM network usually lacks the power of discrimination, this paper proposes a fault diagnosis method for wind turbine gearboxes based on optimized LSTM neural networks with cosine loss (Cos-LSTM). The loss can be converted from Euclid space to angular space by cosine loss, thus eliminating the effect of signal strength and improve the diagnosis accuracy. The energy sequence features and the wavelet energy entropy of the vibration signals are used to evaluate the Cos-LSTM networks. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified with the fault vibration data collected on a gearbox fault diagnosis experimental platform. In addition, the Cos-LSTM method is also compared with other classic fault diagnosis techniques. The results demonstrate that the Cos-LSTM has better performance for gearbox fault diagnosis.

Taking a 1.5 MW wind turbine gearbox as the target of study, the frequency spectrum of vibration signal and the fault mechanism of driving part are analyzed, and the eigenvalues of the frequency domain are extracted. A wavelet neural network model for fault diagnosis of wind turbine gearbox is established, and wavelet neural network is trained by using different feature vectors of fault types. The relationship between fault component and vibration signal is identified, and the vibration fault of wind turbine gearbox is predicted and diagnosed by network model.

Fault diagnosis for wind turbine is an important task for reducing their maintenance cost. However, the non-stationary dynamic operating conditions of wind turbines pose a challenge to fault diagnosis for wind turbine. Fault diagnosis is essentially a kind of pattern recognition. In this paper, a novel fault diagnosis method based on enhanced supervised locally linear embedding is proposed for wind turbine. The approach first performs the recently proposed manifold learning algorithm locally linear embedding on the high-dimensional fault signal samples to learn the intrinsic embedded multiple manifold features corresponding to different fault modes. Enhanced supervised locally linear embedding not only can map them into a low-dimensional embedded space to achieve fault feature extraction, but also can deal with new fault samples. Finally fault classification is carried out in the embedded manifold space. The wind turbine gearbox ball bearing vibration fault signals are used to validate the proposed fault diagnosis method. The results indicate that the proposed approach obviously improves the fault classification performance and outperforms the other traditional approaches.
