Joint condition monitoring framework of wind turbines based on multi-task learning with poor-quality data.

Effective condition monitoring can improve the reliability of the turbine and reduce its downtime. However, due to the complexity of the operating conditions, the monitoring data is always mixed with poor-quality data. Poor-quality data mixed in monitoring tasks disrupts long-term dependency on data, which challenges traditional condition monitoring methods to work. To solve it, a joint reparameterization feature pyramid network (JRFPN) is proposed. Firstly, three different reparameterization tricks are designed to reform temporal information and exchange cross-temporal information, to alleviate the damage of long-term dependency. Secondly, a joint condition monitoring framework is designed, aiming to suppress feature confounding between poor-quality data and faulty data. The auxiliary task is trained to extract the degradation trend. The main task fights against feature confounding and dynamically delineates the failure threshold. The degradation trend and failure threshold decisions are corrected for each other to make the final joint state inference. Besides, considering the different quality of the monitoring variables, a channel weighting mechanism is designed to strengthen the ability of JRFPN. The measured data proved that JRFPN is more effective than other methods. • A dynamic channel attention unit(DCAU) to weigh the contribution differences of monitoring variables. • Adaptive data repair by Pixel-level(Re-Param block), scale-level(RepDCConv), and field-level(modified FPS) reparameterization tricks to adaptively adjust the parameter to alleviate the damage of long-term dependency patterns by poor-quality data. • A main and auxiliary adversarial correction-training mode of the network is designed to dynamically delineate the failure threshold and make the joint state inference. • A joint condition monitoring framework to maintain very high accuracy and very low FNR and FPR in the presence of large amounts of poor-quality data. Besides, The degradation trend of the device could be observed through PH. The results of the model are interpretable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
