ABSTRACT
Wind power has been widely used in the past decade because of its safety and cleanness.
Double fed induction generator (DFIG), as one of the most popular wind turbine generators,
suffers from degradation. Therefore, reliability assessment for this type of generator is of
great significance. The DFIG can be characterized as a multi-state system (MSS) whose
components have more than two states. However, due to the limited data and/or vague judgments from experts, it is difficult to obtain the accurate values of the states and thus it inevitably contains epistemic uncertainty. In this paper, the fuzzy universal generating function
(FUGF) method is utilized to conduct the reliability assessment of the DFIG by describing
the states using fuzzy numbers. First, the fuzzy states of the DFIG system’s components
are defined and the entire system state is calculated based the system structure function.
Second, all components’ states are determined as triangular fuzzy numbers (TFN) according
to experts’ experiences. Finally, the reliability assessment of the DFIG based on the FUGF
is conducted.
