Abstract
- Ice accretion on wind turbine blades is one of the major faults affecting the operational safety and power generation efficiency of wind turbines. Current icing detection methods are based on either meteorological observing system or extra condition monitoring system. Compared with current methods, icing detection using the intrinsic supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) data of wind turbines has plenty of potential advantages, such as low cost, high stability, and early icing detection ability. However, there have not been deep investigations in this field at present. In this paper, a novel intelligent wind turbine blade icing detection method based on the wind turbine SCADA data is proposed. This method consists of three processes: SCADA data preprocessing, automatic feature extraction, and ensemble icing detection model construction. Specifically, deep autoencoders network is employed to learn multilevel fault features from the complex SCADA data adaptively. And the ensemble technique is utilized to make full use of all the extracted features from different hidden layers of the deep autoencoders network to build the ensemble icing detection model. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated using the data collected from actual wind farms. The experimental results reveal that the proposed method is able to not only adaptively extract valuable fault features from the complex SCADA data, but also obtains higher detection accuracy and generalization capability compared with conventional machine learning models and individual deep learning model.
