Abstract [en]

Wind turbines (WTs) are often operated in harsh and remote environments, thus making them more prone to faults and costly repairs. Additionally, the recent surge in wind farm installations have resulted in a dramatic increase in wind turbine data. Intelligent condition monitoring and fault warning systems are crucial to improving the efficiency and operation of wind farms and reducing maintenance costs. Gearbox is the major component that leads to turbine downtime. Its failures are mainly caused by the gearbox bearings. Devising condition monitoring approaches for the gearbox bearings is an effective predictive maintenance measure that can reduce downtime and cut maintenance cost. In this paper, we propose a hybrid intelligent condition monitoring and fault warning system for wind turbine's gearbox. The proposed framework encompasses the following: a) clustering filter- (based on power, rotor speed, blade pitch angle, and wind speed signals)-using the automatic clustering model and ant bee colony optimization algorithm (ABC), b) prediction of gearbox bearing temperature and lubrication oil temperature signals- using variational mode decomposition (VMD), group method of data handling (GMDH) network, and multi-verse optimization (MVO) algorithm, and c) anomaly detection based on the Mahalanobis distances and wavelet transform denoising approach. The proposed condition monitoring system was evaluated using 10 min average SCADA datasets of two 2 MW on-shore wind turbines located in the south of Sweden. The results showed that this strategy can diagnose potential anomalies prior to failure and inhibit reporting alarms in healthy operations.
