- Abstract
Wind turbine gearbox condition monitoring (C&M) is a key technology to promote wind farm maintenance cost reduction and power generation improvement. Existing gearbox C&M methods usually adopt the component‐by‐component modelling approach. Firstly, this approach is inefficient in modelling; secondly, due to the thermal conduction effect, abnormalities in one gearbox component usually affect other components, making it difficult to identify the source of faults. To solve these problems, a normal behaviour model (NBM) combining data adaptive noise reduction and an improved variational auto‐encoder (VAE) is proposed, which can monitor the operational condition of multiple components of one gearbox simultaneously and takes into account the correlation between components when warning of the specific abnormal component. As verified by practical cases, the method balances the modelling accuracy and efficiency of the multi‐component NBM and achieves effective early warning and accurate localization of gearbox abnormalities. The proposed model has lower false alarm and missed alarm rates compared to other single‐component and multi‐component NBMs.
