Introduction Wind turbine gearbox is the core component of wind turbine, and its normal operation is very important to the reliability and performance of wind power generation system. The role of the lubrication system in the gearbox is to ensure the normal lubrication of gears and bearings, reduce friction and wear, and extend the service life of the gearbox. Therefore, the real-time monitoring and fault diagnosis of lubrication system is particularly important.

2.ADZThe principle and characteristics of pressure sensor

A pressure sensor is a sensor capable of converting a pressure signal into an electrical signal. It usually consists of a pressure sensitive element, a signal processing circuit and an output interface. The pressure sensitive element can measure the lubricating oil pressure in the gearbox and convert it into a corresponding electrical signal.ADZThe pressure sensor has the following characteristics:

（1）High accuracy: The pressure sensor can provide accurate pressure measurement results, which can meet the requirements of the wind turbine gearbox lubrication system for accuracy and reliability.

（2）Real-time monitoring: The pressure sensor can monitor the lubricating oil pressure in the gearbox in real time, and feedback the working status of the system in time, which helps to find potential faults and abnormal conditions.

（3）Versatility: In addition to measuring lubricating oil pressure, the pressure sensor can also be used for liquid level monitoring, liquid flow measurement and other applications, with high flexibility and scalability.

 

3.ADZPressure Sensor in the Lubrication System of Wind Turbine GearboxRole

（1）Real-time monitoring of lubricating oil pressure: By installing a pressure sensor inside the gearbox, the pressure change of the lubricating oil can be monitored in real time. When the lubricating oil pressure is abnormal, the pressure sensor can send out an alarm signal in time to remind the operator to carry out maintenance and repair.

（2）Fault diagnosis and prediction: By analyzing the change trend of lubricating oil pressure, the working state and fault type of the gearbox can be judged. With the help of the data provided by the pressure sensor, the early diagnosis and prediction of the fault can be realized, so as to take corresponding maintenance measures to avoid the downtime and loss caused by the fault.

（3）Optimize the operation of the lubrication system: Through real-time monitoring of the lubricating oil pressure, the lubrication situation inside the gearbox can be understood, thereby optimizing the operating parameters of the lubrication system, improving the lubrication effect, and reducing energy consumption and friction losses.
