Wind Turbine Clustering and Equivalent Parameter Identification in Multitime Scales Based on the Deep Migration of Multiview Features

Abstract

To improve the precision of wind farm multi-machine equivalence and multi-scene generalization, this paper proposes a method for wind turbine clustering and equivalent parameter identification in multi-time scales based on the deep migration of multi-view features. The proposed technique carries out multi-machine equivalence by leveraging the multi-view information from each turbine in a wind farm. Specifically, a deep spatio-temporal Improved Auto-Encoder is designed, jointly trained with the target clustering layer. IAE is used for mining multi-view latent characteristics of wind turbines orienting to grouping turbines to improve the model's adaptability to multiple scenarios and divide turbines in an unsupervised manner. This method generates a visual heat map to represent the attended area of characteristics based on transfer learning and Class Activation Map to enable interpretability. In the next phase, this technique constructs a multi-objective optimization model by synthesizing the equivalent deviation of voltage, current, active power, and reactive power to further improve accuracy. It can identify the equivalent parameters of collector lines, the mechanical structure, and the control system at different time scales simultaneously via the black-box paralleled optimization method based on Bayes and Multi-arm Bandit. The proposed approach is evaluated on a typical double-fed wind farm with grid-side faults under various conditions of disturbing winds. Also, an ablation study is conducted to make analysis according to the two phases, i.e., turbine division and parameter identification. The results validate the accuracy and robustness of this method.
