Abstract:

Due to the support of government policies and the maturity of power generation technology, the offshore wind power industry has developed rapidly in recent years. In order to monitor the states of wind turbines and predict the possible high power, the correlations between wind turbine variables are studied. The SCADA system data of an offshore wind farm in Guangdong under all working conditions were collected firstly,to explore the Pearson correlation coefficient, Spearman rank correlation coefficient and Copula entropy of the important state variables of the offshore wind turbines and their applications in variable correlation description. By observing the scatter diagrams of the correlation state variables and analyzing the correlation coefficients numerically, the consistency of the three coefficients in describing the correlation of variables is obtained. Considering the influence of different operating conditions on wind turbine operating characteristics and the superiority of Copula entropy in variable correlation study, a working condition identification method based on K-means is proposed, and wind speed difference,a derived state variable varying with wind turbine operating characteristics,is presented. The correlations of characteristic state variables under working conditions classified by K-means algorithm are analyzed. The results show that the operating characteristics of wind turbines under various working conditions were greatly different, and the correlations of characteristic variables are varied, which should to be analyzed by case.

Key words: wind turbine, variable correlation, Copulas entropy, offshore wind power, clean energy
