Abstract: 

Wind power companies are increasingly introducing fault diagnosis technologies, however, the full use of these technologies mainly depends on expert experience. This paper puts forward a fault identification method for the intelligent fault identification of wind turbine based on fault knowledge base. The model uses principal component analysis to integrate the eigenvalues ​​of vibration and SCADA signals, and then takes the existing fault sample with the highest matching rate in the wind farm fault knowledge base as the input to train the least squares support vector regression algorithm model optimized by particle swarm optimization. The matching rates of fault samples in the fault knowledge base are updated after each diagnosis. Finally, the measured data of the wind farm are used to verify the effect of the model. It is proved that, if the fault samples are sufficiently trained, this method can accurately diagnose the existing faults from the fault base.
