Therefore, a gearbox fault warning method based on self-organizing map (SOM)-attention-based spatiotemporal graph convolutional network (ASTGCN)- bidirectional long short-term memory network (BiLSTM) and mutual diagnosis of the same clustered wind turbines was proposed. This method utilizes the SOM clustering algorithm to cluster wind turbines with similar external environments and operation states into one cluster, which provides support for the mutual diagnosis of the operation states of the same clustered wind turbines. An ASTGCN was used to deeply mine the spatiotemporal correlation characteristics between the operating state data of the wind turbine and the temperature value of the gearbox low-speed bearing. A BiLSTM was used to bidirectionally mine the temporal correlation between the operating state data of the wind turbine and the temperature value of the gearbox low-speed bearing, and a forecasting model of the gearbox low-speed bearing temperature based on ASTGCN-BiLSTM was constructed. The temperature of the gearbox low-speed bearings of the same clustered wind turbines exhibited a similar dynamic change process. By comparing and analyzing the distribution characteristics of the forecasted temperature values of the gearbox low-speed bearings of the same clustered wind turbines, it is possible to accurately identify wind turbines with abnormal gearbox operating states. Taking a certain wind farm as the calculation object, the calculation results show that the forecasting accuracy of the proposed SOM-ASTGCN-BiLSTM model is higher than that of other models such as ASTGCN, Reformer, Transformer, Informer, Pyraformer, QR-LSTM, and PSO-ELM, proving the superiority of the algorithm proposed in this study.

When electret materials in energy harvesters need to be charged to maintain polarization, disassembling harvesters or separating electret films from harvesters is generally an unavoidable procedure, which complicates the charging process and increases maintenance costs. At present, there is no ideal built-in charging method for electret materials in non-resonant structures that can balance low cost, safety, and simple operation. Herein, we propose a built-in charging electret rotational energy harvester (BIC-EREH), which can achieve the contact charging of the fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) film using a gap-adjustable platform and interdigital electrodes inside the harvester. After charging, the surface potential of the FEP film can reach over −1200 V. The interdigital electrodes in the BIC-EREH are not only used to recharge the FEP film but also serve as a component of an electret transducer to participate in electrical energy conversion. Based on a pawl-ratchet clutch driver, the harvester can output uninterruptedly even under ultra-low frequency excitation. Under one excitation with a velocity of 200 mm/s, the harvester can continuously output for about 23 s with a peak power of 98.2 μW, generating electric energy of about 0.4 mJ. Over a broad bandwidth (0.1–2 Hz), the harvester still has a stable output power. Furthermore, the BIC-EREH has high stability in a high humidity environment and the attenuated output performance can be perfectly restored with an average output power of 85.4 μW after built-in charging. Finally, the harvester is successfully applied as the power supply to drive a wireless sensor node. The study has considerable significance for sustainable power supply of electret energy harvesters in wireless sensor nodes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":419,"journal":{"name":"Renewable Energy","volume":"251 ","pages":"Article 123407"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143941801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, there is growing interest in innovative load control techniques to mitigate these excessive loads and their associated impacts on increased cost. In this study, ALC is implemented using controllable gurney flaps based on plasma actuators where we assess the impacts of upscaling and ALC on 1) loads of all major turbine components, 2) sizing of turbine components, 3) cost of energy including capital expenditures (CapEx), operating expenditures (OpEx), annual energy production (AEP), and ultimately the levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Additionally, ALC effects are examined for Region III-only operation and full-range, i.e., Region II and Region III. Upscaling is examined via two distinct scenarios: a power-uprated turbine design with a 6.3 % upscaled rotor and higher power rating (and higher structural loads), and a load-limited turbine design with the same increase in rotor size but maintaining the reference turbine power rating (to maintain or limit the load increase). Using a 3.4 MW reference wind turbine design, we maintain baseline performance limits with respect to the reference design for the tip deflection, mean stresses, and fatigue stresses in the upscaled design with ALC during the component resizing process. This resizing approach led to changes in CapEx, OpEx, AEP, and LCOE. Among the upscaled designs, the load-limited turbine with ALC achieved a slightly higher LCOE reduction of up to 4.9 % compared to 4.1 % for the power-uprated turbine, under full-range ALC operation. Overall, the load-limited upscaled design with ALC emerges as the marginally more favorable configuration, achieving greater LCOE reduction through a substantial AEP increase in Region II (due to upscaling), fatigue load reductions in critical components (via ALC), and relatively smaller capital cost increases compared to the power-uprated design, despite the latter yielding similar LCOE reductions. As a result, this work presents a comprehensive assessment of how ALC impacts component sizing and economics and compares upscaled designs (3.4B) with the 3.4A (retrofit) design, providing insights to designers and operators to most effectively use ALC in upscaled wind turbines.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":419,"journal":{"name":"Renewable Energy","volume":"251 ","pages":"Article 123411"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144071658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
