Problems solved by technology

Among them, ground measurement refers to the traditional commonly used measurement method, which is mainly carried out on the ground. By setting up a ground-based scanner on the ground and using the ground-based scanner for data collection, the yaw angle can be obtained after analysis and processing, but the cost is high. ,low efficiency
However, in the actual use of the existing high-altitude measurement methods, the operation is complicated and the error is large

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for determining the yaw angle of a wind rotor by using an unmanned aerial vehicle, which mainly utilizes the structural symmetry characteristics of the wind turbine's nacelle extending to the shroud, and according to the geographical coordinates of the wind generator input in advance and the position of the nacelle Absolute altitude, by obtaining the point cloud results of the position of the nacelle above the nacelle of the wind turbine, and then performing corresponding processing on the point cloud results, and then extracting the center line, so as to obtain accurate wind rotor yaw angle data. The invention can realize the measurement of the yaw angle with high measurement accuracy; the whole process is simple and does not require manual intervention, and the equipment for subsequent inspection of the fan blades is directly used for measurement and calculation without additional equipment cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for determining the yaw angle of a wind rotor by using an unmanned aerial vehicle, and belongs to the technical field of wind power generator inspection. Background technique [0002] As UAV equipment becomes more and more mature, in the scenario of wind power generation, the application of UAV autonomous inspection requirements for external dominant defects of wind turbine blades, shrouds, nacelles, towers and other components come behind. One of the important calculation basis for establishing the autonomous inspection route is the precise yaw angle of the wind turbine. Only when the yaw angle is determined can the three-dimensional coordinates of the center point of the wind wheel where the blades meet can be successively determined, and the three-dimensional coordinates of the center point It is the basic starting point of the autonomous inspection route. Therefore, accurate measurement of yaw angle is crucial to...
