Shrnutí:Fault diagnosis of drivetrain gearboxes is a prominent challenge in wind turbine condition monitoring. Many machine learning algorithms have been applied to gearbox fault diagnosis. However, many of the current machine learning algorithms did not provide satisfactory fault diagnosis results due to their shallow architectures. Recently, a class of machine learning models with deep architectures called deep learning has received more attention, because it can learn high-level features of inputs. This paper proposes a new fault diagnosis method for the drivetrain gearboxes of the wind turbines equipped with doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) using DFIG rotor current signal analysis. In the proposed method, the instantaneous fundamental frequency of the rotor current signal is first estimated to obtain the instantaneous shaft rotating frequency. Then, the Hilbert transform is used to demodulate the rotor current signal to obtain its envelope, and the resultant envelope signal contains fault characteristic frequencies that are in proportion to the varying DFIG shaft rotating frequency. Next, an angular resampling algorithm is designed to resample the nonstationary envelope signal to be stationary based on the estimated instantaneous shaft rotating frequency. After that, the power spectral density analysis is performed on the resampled envelope signal for the gearbox fault detection. Finally, a classifier with a deep architecture that consists of a stacked autoencoder and a support vector machine is proposed for gearbox fault classification using extracted fault features. Experimental results obtained from a DFIG wind turbine drivetrain test rig are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
