Abstract

In the past few years, with the rapid development of the wind power industry, a large number of wind turbines have been built and deployed. With the development of the wind power industry, more and more scientific researchers pay attention to the stable and safe operation and fault diagnosis of wind turbines. The gearbox is an important component of wind turbine drive chain, which is affected by many factors in operation, such as wind speed fluctuation and loads dynamic change. Because of the bad operating conditions, the gearbox is prone to failure. Once the gearbox fails, it may cause the collapse of the fan drive chain, and then cause huge economic losses. Therefore, the research of gearbox fault diagnosis is of great significance to maintaining the normal operation of the wind turbines.
