Research on Wind Turbine Blade Damage Fault Diagnosis Based on GH Bladed

With the increasing installed capacity of wind turbines, ensuring the safe operation of wind turbines is of great significance. However, the failure of wind turbines is still a severe problem, especially as blade damage can cause serious harm. To detect blade damage in time and prevent the accumulation of microdamage of blades evolving into severe injury, a damage dataset based on GH Bladed simulation of blade damage is proposed. Then, based on the wavelet packet analysis theory method, the MATLAB software can automatically analyze and extract the energy characteristics of the signal to identify the damage. Finally, the GH Bladed simulation software and MATLAB software are combined for fault diagnosis analysis. The results show that the proposed method based on GH Bladed to simulate blade damage and wavelet packet analysis can extract damage characteristics and identify single-unit damage, multiple-unit damage, and different degrees of damage. This method can quickly and effectively judge the damage to wind turbine blades; it provides a basis for further research on wind turbine blade damage fault diagnosis.
