Specifically when time series vibration data is transformed to a 2-dimensional cyclic spectral coherence maps, the accuracy of deep neural networks in classifying faults increases. Nevertheless, standard deep learning techniques are vulnerable to inaccurate predictions when tested with new data originating from unseen faults or unusual operating conditions. To address some of these shortcomings in the context of wind turbine gearboxes, this paper investigates fault diagnostics using Bayesian convolutional neural network which provide accurate results with uncertainty bounds reducing wrong overconfident classifications. The performance of Bayesian and standard neural networks is compared using a simulation-based dataset of acceleration signals generated from a multibody dynamic model of a 5 MW wind turbine. The framework proposed in this paper has relevance to fault detection and diagnosis in other rotating machinery applications.","PeriodicalId":51570,"journal":{"name":"Wind Engineering","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139262367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research indicates that for the overlapped rotor and for the two inner blade configurations, the higher power and torque coefficients could be obtained at high and low tip speed ratios, respectively.

Pulse charging of the proposed HESS is carried out with the help of a dual active bridge (DAB) converter. Pulse charging of the HESS will result into reduced stress on battery and eventually to a longer self-life. The operation of the wind energy fed hybrid battery-supercapacitor energy storage was investigated through simulation using MATLAB-Simulink.

The flow control in wind farms to maximize power production is a challenging problem due to its time-varying nonlinear wake dynamics. Hence, we develop a method that authorizes coordination in a wind farm for a squarely payoff-based scenario where the turbines have access only to measurements from their neighbors via repeated interactions. Therefore, in order to maximize output power in a wind farm, an Adaptive Learning Game Theory (ALGT) method is introduced. This control scheme provides an interaction framework that constructs a series of common control functions. Here, in every iteration, each turbine chooses an independent decision according to a localized control law. The control objective of wind turbine [Formula: see text] determines how each turbine adjusts a decision at each iteration by processing available information.","PeriodicalId":51570,"journal":{"name":"Wind Engineering","volume":"65 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135868673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed approach, which uses one-step-ahead adaptive predictive control (APC), adeptly handles the operational limitations of the SCESS. For the purpose of online estimation of system parameters, the recursive least square (RLS) algorithm has been employed. The system can be characterized as a two input two output system, wherein the real and reactive powers required by the SCESS serve as control signals issued by the controller. The SCESS voltage is subject to constraints to limit energy trade within specific bounds. The proposed control scheme successfully maintains the voltage constraints of the SCESS while significantly reducing frequency and voltage deviations in the presence of two disturbances, viz; load disturbance and wind disturbance. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated through simulation experiments on an isolated hybrid wind diesel power system, which addresses several modeling and design aspects.","PeriodicalId":51570,"journal":{"name":"Wind Engineering","volume":"64 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135868481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are a large number of single-phase and two-phase loads connected to the distribution network, resulting in a three-phase unbalanced operation of the distribution network. With the development of the new energy, the high proportion of distributed new energy will further aggravate the three-phase imbalance of the distribution network. Therefore, this paper proposes a coordinated optimization framework of droop parameters based on the multi-converter droop control, which takes the minimum loss of the distribution network as the optimization objective, and optimizes the reference point and the slope of the VSC droop hierarchically. A small-signal stability optimization dispatching method for the VSC droop slope in the DC distribution network is proposed. By adding small-signal stability constraints to the slope optimization model, the optimal slope command and slope stability region which can ensure the small-signal stable operation of the system are obtained. Experiments show that the optimization model of the VSC small-signal stability slope can make the droop control instruction significantly improve the small-signal stability of the system to adapt to the intra-day source load power fluctuations with a small economic cost. The slope stability region pre-optimization model can provide a reliable stability slope upper limit for the slope optimization problem based on ensuring the system operation economy. The research in this paper can make full use of the flexible control ability of power electronic equipment, and then suppress the three-phase imbalance, which is of great significance to improve the security and economy of the distribution system operation.","PeriodicalId":51570,"journal":{"name":"Wind Engineering","volume":"403 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135863446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
