Fault diagnosis of wind turbine gearbox based on wavelet neural network

In order to monitor the wind turbine gearbox running state effectively, a fault diagnosis method of wind turbine gearbox is put forward based on wavelet neural network. 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. The analysis results show that the method can diagnose fault and fault pattern recognition of wind turbine gearbox very well.
