Fast-varying Natural Frequencies and Damping Ratio Identification for Linear Time-Varying System
Physics-enhanced LSTM-EKF method identifies fast-varying natural frequencies and damping ratios in offshore wind turbines with 0.0012 Hz RMSE.
The work combines a long short-term memory network with an Extended Kalman Filter for physics-enhanced system identification of linear time-varying systems. It targets fast-varying natural frequencies and damping ratios in a 2-blade offshore wind turbine under wind and wave loading, validated on synthetic data from a finite element model. The identified FA-1 fore-aft mode frequency achieves a maximum RMSE of 0.0012 Hz, and damping ratio estimation via grid search improves on covariance-driven stochastic subspace identification.
