Abstract:

As a clean and renewable energy source, wind energy has been extensively promoted globally. However, the issue of wind turbine blade icing has severely impacted the safe operation and efficiency of the equipment. Existing blade icing detection algorithms are prone to being affected by data imbalance or noise, leading to reduced accuracy. Consequently, there is an urgent need for a precise and efficient ice detection algorithm to mitigate operational risks. In this paper, we propose an ice detection algorithm for wind turbine blades based on a dual-channel temporal feature fusion network. First, we preprocess Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) data and apply feature engineering to SCADA data. Secondly, a detection model combining Long Short-Term Memory Network (LSTM) and attention mechanism is proposed. LSTM is used to fully learn the time dependence of fan state, and the attention mechanism is used to dynamically adjust the weights of different time steps. Finally, a blade ice detection algorithm based on dual channel temporal feature fusion network is proposed. Dynamic trends of features over time can be captured. Multi-head attention mechanism is introduced to enhance feature interaction. The experimental results show that: compared with other algorithms, the detection accuracy of the proposed algorithm is improved by 10%-15%. It has good performance in the ice detection of fan blades.
