Abstract
The primary wind turbines’ in-service performance evaluation method is mining and analyzing the SCADA data. However, there are complex mathematical and physical relationships between multiple operating parameters, and so far, there is a lack of systematic understanding. To solve this issue, the distribution of wind turbines’ operating parameters was first analyzed according to the characteristics of the energy flow of wind turbines. Then, the correlation calculation was performed using the Spearman correlation coefficient method based on the minute-level data and second-level data. According to the numerical characteristics of the nacelle vibration acceleration, the data preprocessing technology sliding window maximum (SWM) was proposed during the calculation. In addition, taking temperature correlation as an example, two-dimensional scatter (including single-valued scatter) and three-dimensional scatter features were combined with numerical analysis and physical mechanism analysis to understand the correlation characteristics better. On this basis, a quantitative description model of the temperature characteristics of the gearbox oil pool was constructed. Through this research work, the complex mathematical and physical relationships among the multi-parameters of the wind turbines were comprehensively obtained, which provides data and theoretical support for the design, operation, and maintenance.
