Fault Diagnosis of Wind Turbines Based on Improved Neural Network

Article Preview

Abstract:

The gearbox is an important module of wind turbine. In order to diagnosis the fault of wind turbine gearbox, a method based on the improved neural network is proposed. According to the characteristics of the wind turbine gearbox, several vibration sensors are set in the gearbox, so as to acquire the feature vector of gearbox. After training, the improved neural network is verified with some test samples. The result proved that the method is suitable for fault diagnosis in gearbox of wind turbine.. Keywords: wind turbine gearbox, fault diagnosis, particle swam, neural network.
