... How to efficiently transmit power and reuse/recover energy has been the subjects of heated discussion in the high-power transmission field. Regarding heavy-duty vehicles, they used to be equipped with a gearbox as a typical type of high-power transmission to deliver power to the wheel. However, a gearbox transmission has quite complex mechanical structure for realizing a large speed-regulating ran ...

Abstract:
... Sufficient samples collected from different conditions can effectively improve fault diagnosis performance for wind turbine gearboxes. However, it is very difficult and time-consuming to obtain enough data under fault conditions rather than the normal condition for real wind turbines. For this reason, an improved adversarial learning is proposed to generate fault features for the fault diagnosis o ...

The single HST (Hydro Static Transmission) mechanical differential transmission gearbox of crawler combine harvester is subjected to the impact of alternating loads in the field operation, resulting in its fatigue failure. The traditional durability fatigue test can improve the fault-free working time of machinery, but it is not suitable for agricultural machinery with time-varying load frequency ...

Abstract:
... Wind turbine condition monitoring (WTCM) plays an important role in reducing operation & maintenance (O&M) cost and improving the reliability of wind farms. Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) data have advantages such as easy access and strong timeliness and are used widely for WTCM. However, it is difficult to distinguish and label historical SCADA data as healthy or faulty accurate ...

With the development of wind turbine (WT) operation and maintenance technologies, the condition monitoring (CM) method based on the data of supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems has become one of the most popular and cheapest ways to detect the anomalies. As the operation condition of WT will change over time, it is necessary to real-time update the CM model with little manual m ...
