Aiming at the common gear failure problems of doubly-fed wind turbines, this study adopts vibration analysis and failure analysis detection for in-depth research. By constructing a wind turbine drive chain monitoring system, the two typical failures of broken and cracked gears were firstly pre-processed and comparatively analyzed in time domain signals, and the characteristics of the meshing frequency and its side-band components were extracted. Subsequently, detailed failure analysis of the failure site was carried out using tools such as a scanning electron microscope and energy spectrometer, which revealed the formation mechanism of the failure, especially in the case of cracking failure. The influence of inclusions on crack formation was found. The nature and cause of failure were verified by metallographic and chemical composition analysis. The results show that the comprehensive diagnostic method effectively improves the reliability and operational efficiency of wind turbines, reduces maintenance costs, and has important significance for equipment management in the wind power industry.
