Embodiment Construction

[0048] In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific examples.

[0049] In this embodiment, taking the current mainstream MW-level wind turbine blades as an example, the following steps are used to design the lightning-termination system:

[0050] 1) Establish the initial model of the lightning receptor system according to the matching target blade model and structural size. The initial model of the lightning receptor system includes metal blade tip 1, metal trailing edge section 3, multiple cylindrical lightning receptors 4, Lower leads 5 and metal connectors 6, such as figure 1 , 2 shown. In this embodiment, the metal blade tip 1, the metal trailing edge section 3, the cylindrical air receptor 4, the lower lead 5, and the metal connector 6 are all made of aluminum. Among them, the metal blade tip 1, the metal trailing edge section...

Abstract

The invention discloses a design method for a lightning receiving system for the lightning stroke current of a blade of a wind driven generator. A blade lightning receptor system integrating a metal blade tip, a metal tail edge and a cylindrical lightning receptor is designed, so that effective lightning receiving for the lightning stroke current of the blade can be realized. With the design method, the influence of the lightning receiving system on the pneumatic and structural performance of the blade is guaranteed to be within a permissible range while the effective lightning receiving effect for the lightning stroke current is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind power generation in the mechanical industry, and in particular to a structural type and a design method of a lightning receptor system for horizontal-axis wind turbine blades. The method constructs a metal blade tip, a metal trailing edge and a cylindrical lightning receptor. The integrated blade air-termination system and its design method can realize effective lightning-termination of blade lightning strike current. Background technique [0002] Lightning damage to wind turbine blades is an important concern in the design, manufacture, and operation of wind turbine blades. Wind turbines operate in the wild environment. The blades of modern wind turbines are getting longer and longer, and the blade towers are getting higher and higher. The blades are also more and more likely to be damaged by lightning strikes. Although the existing large-scale wind turbines are all designed with lightning...
