Wind Turbine Performance Evaluation Method Based on Dual Optimization of Power Curves and Health Regions

Abstract

The wind power curve serves as a critical metric for assessing wind turbine performance. Developing a model based on this curve and evaluating turbine efficiency within a defined health region, derived from the statically optimized power curve, holds significant value for wind farm operations. This paper proposes an optimized wind power curve segmentation modeling method based on an improved PCF algorithm to address the inconsistency between the function curve and the wind power curve, as well as the issues of prolonged curve modeling training time and susceptibility to local optima. A health region optimization method based on data increment inflection points is developed, which enables the delineation of the health performance evaluation region for wind turbines. Through the aforementioned optimization, the performance evaluation method for wind turbines is significantly improved. The effectiveness of the performance evaluation method is validated through experimental case studies, combining the wind power curve with the rotational speed stability, power characteristic consistency coefficient, and power generation efficiency indicators. The proposed modeling technique achieves a precision level of 0.998, confirming its applicability and effectiveness in practical engineering scenarios.
