Expert System of Fault Diagnosis for Gear Box in Wind Turbine

Abstract

Gear box is one of the key components in wind turbine. To make timely and accurate diagnosis for gear box, an expert system based on fault tree analysis is developed in this paper. Firstly, a fault tree model is established in accordance with the structural features of wind turbine gearbox. On basis of the fault tree model, qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis of the gearbox faults are carried out afterwards. Finally, a Web-oriented expert system is developed by C# on the .NET platform which will save the fault diagnosis time significantly and make the expert solution for the fault of gear box to achieve the precise and quick maintenance more effectively.
