The invention relates to an offshore doubly fed motor stator winding turn-to-turn short circuit early fault identification method, and is used for judging the doubly fed motor stator winding turn-to-turn short circuit and determining the phase of the turn-to-turn short circuit. The method comprises the following steps that 1) the three-phase signals of an offshore doubly fed motor under fault identification are acquired, including the stator three-phase voltage, the rotor three-phase voltage, the stator three-phase current, the rotor three-phase current and the rotor rotating speed; 2) the three-phase signals are converted to a dq axis coordinate system, the motor parameters are acquired, then the three-phase signals are converted to an alphabeta axis coordinate system, the estimated stator current is acquired through an observer, and the estimated current difference is calculated and decomposed so that a fault severity factor xi is obtained; and 3) when the amplitude of the fault severity factor xi caused by the turn-to-turn short circuit fault reaches the fault early warning value, the stator winding turn-to-turn short circuit fault occurs on the offshore doubly fed motor under fault identification. Compared with the methods in the prior art, the offshore doubly fed motor stator winding turn-to-turn short circuit early fault identification method has the advantages that the fault phase can be reliably located and the robustness is high.
