Research on Wind Turbine Fault Detection Based on the Fusion of ASL-CatBoost and TtRSA

Abstract

The internal structure of wind turbines is intricate and precise, although the challenging working conditions often give rise to various operational faults. This study aims to address the limitations of traditional machine learning algorithms in wind turbine fault detection and the imbalance of positive and negative samples in the fault detection dataset. To achieve the real-time detection of wind turbine group faults and to capture wind turbine fault state information, an enhanced ASL-CatBoost algorithm is proposed. Additionally, a crawling animal search algorithm that incorporates the Tent chaotic mapping and t-distribution mutation strategy is introduced to assess the sensitivity of the ASL-CatBoost algorithm toward hyperparameters and the difficulty of manual hyperparameter setting. The effectiveness of the proposed hyperparameter optimization strategy, termed the TtRSA algorithm, is demonstrated through a comparison of traditional intelligent optimization algorithms using 11 benchmark test functions. When applied to the hyperparameter optimization of the ASL-CatBoost algorithm, the TtRSA-ASL-CatBoost algorithm exhibits notable enhancements in accuracy, recall, and other performance measures compared with the ASL-CatBoost algorithm and other ensemble learning algorithms. The experimental results affirm that the proposed algorithm model improvement strategy effectively enhances the wind turbine fault detection classification recognition rate.
