随着风力发电机应用的持续强劲增长，风力涡轮机系统的状态监测在确保所产生的电力的可用性和降低的成本方面变得越来越重要。需要持续监测的关键涡轮机条件之一是发电机轴对准，如果不对发电机轴对准进行妥协和处理，则可能导致灾难性的系统故障。本研究探讨了在现成的发电机控制器回路信号上采用监督机器学习方法来检测轴不对中状况的可能性。这可以提供一个高度非侵入性和低成本的解决方案，与目前的错位监测现场实践，依赖于侵入性和昂贵的传动系统振动分析的错位监测。该研究利用在专用双馈感应发电机试验台上测量的信号数据集来证明，通过对控制器回路信号应用监督机器学习，可以实现轴角偏差的高一致性和准确性识别。高达98.8%的平均识别准确率被证明是可达到的，通过分析的定子磁链定向控制器信号的一个关键特征子集的范围内的操作速度和负载。
With a continued strong increase in wind generator applications, the condition monitoring of wind turbine systems has become ever more important in ensuring the availability and reduced cost of produced power. One of the key turbine conditions requiring constant monitoring is the generator shaft alignment, which if compromised and untreated can lead to catastrophic system failures. This study explores the possibility of employing supervised machine learning methods on the readily available generator controller loop signals to achieve detection of shaft misalignment condition. This could provide a highly noninvasive and low-cost solution for misalignment monitoring in comparison with the current misalignment monitoring field practice that relies on invasive and costly drivetrain vibration analysis. The study utilises signal datasets measured on a dedicated doubly fed induction generator test rig to demonstrate that high consistency and accuracy recognition of shaft angular misalignment can be achieved through the application of supervised machine learning on controller loop signals. The average recognition accuracy rate of up to 98.8% is shown to be attainable through analysis of a key feature subset of the stator flux-oriented controller signals in a range of operating speeds and loads.
