Abstract

Aiming at the problems of the traditional planetary gear fault diagnosis method of wind turbines, such as the poor timeliness of data transmission, weak visualization effect of state monitoring, and untimely feedback of fault information, this paper proposes a planetary gear fault diagnosis method for wind turbines based on a digital twin. The method was used to build the digital twin model of wind turbines and analyze the wind turbines’ operating state utilizing virtual and real data. Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) was used, and an atom search optimization–support vector machine (ASO-SVM) model was established for planetary gear fault diagnosis. The digital twin model diagnoses faults and constantly revises the model based on the diagnostic results. The digital twin fault diagnosis system was implemented in the Unity3D platform. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed early-warning system for the real-time diagnosis of planetary gear faults in wind turbines.
