Hereinafter， the present invention is further introduced in detail by the particular embodiments in combination with the figures.
Fig. 1 shows a flow-process diagram illustrating a wind farm condition
monitoring method， comprising the following steps：
step 101： acquiring historical SCADA data， and/or historical sensor data received from sensors which are installed in a wind farm， and historical wind turbine status which indicate wind turbines historical status in the wind farm， wherein the historical SCADA data covers operation data of the wind farm；
step 102： selecting algorithm for all types of historical data sources according to pre-defined basic rules， wherein the historical data sources include the historical SCADA data and/or the historical sensor data， training different models for different historical data sources using the algorithm selected for different types of historical data sources to establish relationship between the historical data sources and the historical wind turbine status；
step 103： acquiring real time SCADA data and/or real time sensor data as real time data source， selecting the trained model depending on type of the real time data source， inputting the real time data source to the selected trained model， obtaining the real time wind turbine status， which estimate wind turbines real time status in the wind farm， from the selected trained model.
The SCADA data is collected from the Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. The SCADA system is a power automation monitoring system. It performs data collection， monitoring control and process control of the power system.
The data source includes SCADA data and sensor data. The sensor data includes： vibration sensor data， acoustic sensor data， etc. So the types of data sources include： type of SCADA data， type of vibration sensor data， type of acoustic sensor data， etc. In the step 102， selecting algorithm for all types of historical data sources includes： selecting algorithm for type of SCADA data， selecting algorithm for type of vibration sensor data， selecting algorithm for type of acoustic sensor data， etc.
As accepting variety of type of data sources and selecting algorithm based on the type of data sources， the present invention is a kind of self-adaptive condition monitoring method and system for wind farm that is flexible in data sources and can automatically adjust to different wind farm/turbine condition.
In one embodiment， step 101 further comprises：
verifying the wind turbine status to identify which data section of the historical SCADA data and/or the historical sensor data is in normal status and which data section of the historical SCADA data or the historical sensor data is in defective status.
The embodiment divides the historical SCADA data or historical sensor data into normal status section and defective status section to facilitate the models making a correct wind turbine report.
In one embodiment， step 102 comprises：
building up the algorithm base and basic rules for algorithm primary screening；
selecting a primary algorithm from the algorithm base for each historical data source according to the basic rules；
training models for each historical data source using the primary algorithm to establish relationship between the historical data sources and the historical wind turbine status， wherein the inputs of each model are the historical data sources， and the outputs of each model are the historical wind turbine status；
verifying the effectiveness of the trained models using the historical data source and the historical wind turbine report；
selecting the most effective trained model from the models having same type of historical data source， selecting the primary algorithm corresponding to the most effective trained model as the algorithm selected for the type of historical data source， retraining models for each historical data source using the algorithm selected for the type of historical data source.
There are many algorithms for model training， e.g. Artificial Neural Network， Support Vector Machine， Gaussian Processes， etc. The definition of basic rules should consider not only feature of algorithms but also the characteristics of data sources. For different available data sources， the primary algorithm can be different. For example： for vibration sensor data， the primary algorithm is more often chose from time series methods， and for SCADA data， the primary algorithm can be selected from data mining methods.
For the same type of data source， there may be more than one primary algorithm selected for training. So after training the models using the primary
algorithm， the embodiment verifies the effectiveness (e.g. detection rate) of the trained models and find out the most effective trained model from the models having same type of historical data source. For example， the embodiment selects the most effective trained model from the models with SCADA data as data source， or selects most effective trained model from the models with vibration sensor data as data source.
In one embodiment， step 103 comprises：
acquiring real time SCADA data and/or real time sensor data as real time data source；
selecting the trained model depending on type of the real time data source；
inputting the real time data source to the trained model；
running the trained model to implement the algorithm；
obtaining the real time wind turbine report from the trained model.
In one embodiment， further comprises：
model updating step： updating the trained models with the real time data source and the real time wind turbine status.
The models are trained with the historical data source and historical wind turbine status. The historical data source will have some different with the real time data source， especially when the trained model run a long time. The embodiment add model updating step in order to amend the trained model.
It should be noted that the model updating step run after the step 103.
In one embodiment， the model updating step comprises：
running the trained models for a predetermined period；
retraining the trained models with the real time data source and the real time wind turbine report， wherein the inputs of each model are the real time data sources， the outputs of each model are the real time wind turbine status， and the algorithm used is algorithm selected for the type of real time data source.
Updating the trained model means retraining the trained models with the real time data source and the real time wind turbine report. And the algorithm used for retrain is the same as before.
In one embodiment， the wind turbine status covers：
health condition of wind turbine in the wind farm diagnosed as normal or defective status， and defective component with corresponding fault reason if health condition of wind turbine is diagnosed as defective status.
In one embodiment， further comprises：
health alarming step： activating an alarm device when the health condition of the real time wind turbine status is diagnosed as defective status.
Fig. 2 shows a flow-process diagram illustrating the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
In this figure， the method is divided into two parts： offline preparation work and online adjusting part. Left side block represents the flexibility in data sources and the algorithm/model selection process； while right side block represents model updating process with newly collected online data (real time data source) . More specifically， the whole concept can be implemented by the following steps：
Step 201： Collecting all available monitoring data (from SCADA system，
already installed vibration/acoustic/oil sensor， etc. ) and fault information from real
wind farm operation database as wind turbine report：
·SCADA data covering operation data of typical wind turbines in typical wind farms
·Data from additional sensors installed like vibration sensor that can reflect more details of wind farm condition
·Verified wind turbine status corresponding to the monitoring data above specifying which data section is normal status and which is defective status
·Organize the data and fault information to proper format compatible for following data process
·Note that this step should be done off-line instead of on-line.
Step 202： Selecting proper algorithm for available data source， according to
pre-defined basic rules and test results of trained models on collected historical data：
·Building up the algorithm base and basic rules for algorithm primary screening. There are many algorithms for model training， e.g. Artificial Neural Network， Support Vector Machine， Gaussian Processes， etc. The definition of basic
rules should consider not only feature of algorithms but also the characteristics of data sources. For different available data sources， the primary selected algorithms can be different.
·Training models based on primary selected algorithms to be applicable for wind farm diagnosis and prognosis. The inputs of each model are historical data， and the output is the health condition of target wind turbine， which component is defective (if wind turbine is defective) and the fault information like location， type and severity.
·Verifying the effectiveness (e.g. detection rate) of the trained models using the collected historical data.
·Selecting the most proper algorithm for current data source according to validation results.
·Note that this step should be done off-line instead of on-line.
Step 203： Updatina models trained bv selected algorithm based on newly
collected online data consistently：
·Setting the models trained by selected algorithm as the initial diagnosis/prognosis models. Run these models for a certain period.
·Updating the initial wind turbine diagnosis/prognosis models based on newly collected online data. The inputs of the models are the newly available data and the output is the health condition of target wind turbine， which component is defective (if wind turbine is defective) and the fault information like location， type and severity.
·Verifying the effectiveness (e.g. detection rate) of the models to confirm the performance
·Note that this step should be done on-line.
Step 204： Using the updated models to implement wind turhine
diagnosis/proanosis：
·Inputting real time newly coming monitoring data to the trained model.
·Running the model to implement the embedded algorithm.
·Outputting the health index of the detected wind turbine with information incl. whether the wind turbine is normal or defective， if defective which
component (s) is defective one (s) and the failure information like fault location， type and severity.
·Note that this step should be done on-line.
From the description above it can be obviously seen that the whole technology can properly select algorithm due to available data thus is flexible on data source， and can automatically adjust diagnosis/prognosis models by wind farm/turbine condition. Therefore， this self-adaptive CMS solution can provide wind farm a flexible， complete and accurate condition monitoring service without any hardware modification.
The term “on-line” refers to online real time monitor. The term “off-line” refers to offline models training.
