Abstract:In order to timely and accurately predict the degradation trend of the whole performance of wind turbine,a wind turbine health state assessment algorithm based on kernel entropy principal component analysis and partial least squares (KECA-PLS) is proposed. Firstly, the data are preprocessed using the front local anomaly factor algorithm (LOF), and the wind farm data are clustered using Gaussian mixture model (GMM), and the clustering results are used as labels for subsequent classification; after that, nuclear entropy principal component analysis (KECA) is utilized for the degradation of the data and the extraction of features, and the SPE statistics are used to monitor the state of WTGs; in view of the unsteadiness of the SCADA data and the nonlinearity, the PLS algorithm is introduced into the kernel entropy space for fault prediction, and the alarm limit is determined by predicting the trend of the residual change, which realizes the early warning of faults; finally, the fuzzy judgment method is used and the radar map of the degraded state of the WTGs is plotted to evaluate the degraded performance of the WTGs. The method is applied to the actual wind turbine operation data of a wind farm, and the results show that the method can accurately assess the current health state of wind turbines and visualize the change process of wind turbine failures.
