Research and Prospects of Digital Twin-Based Fault Diagnosis of Electric Machines

Abstract

This paper focuses on the application of digital twins in the field of electric motor fault diagnosis. Firstly, it explains the origin, concept, key technology and application areas of digital twins, compares and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of digital twin technology and traditional methods in the application of electric motor fault diagnosis, discusses in depth the key technology of digital twins in electric motor fault diagnosis, including data acquisition and processing, digital modeling, data analysis and mining, visualization technology, etc., and enumerates digital twin application examples in the fields of induction motors, permanent magnet synchronous motors, wind turbines and other motor fields. A concept of multi-phase synchronous generator fault diagnosis based on digital twins is given, and challenges and future development directions are discussed.
