Fault Detection of the Wind Turbine Variable Pitch System Based on Large Margin Distribution Machine Optimized by the State Transition Algorithm

Abstract EN

Aiming at solving the problem that the parameters of a fault detection model are difficult to be optimized, the paper proposes the fault detection of the wind turbine variable pitch system based on large margin distribution machine (LDM) which is optimized by the state transition algorithm (STA).

By setting the three parameters of the LDM model as a three-dimensional vector which was searched by STA, by using the accuracy of fault detection model as the fitness function of STA, and by adopting the four state transformation operators of STA to carry out global search in the form of point, line, surface, and sphere in the search space, the global optimal parameters of LDM fault detection model are obtained and used to train the model.

Compared with the grid search (GS) method, particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, and genetic algorithm (GA), the proposed model method has lower false positive rate (FPR) and false negative rate (FNR) in the fault detection of wind turbine variable pitch system in a real wind farm.
