[0002] Currently, when designing wave power generation devices, it is necessary to determine the core parameters of the device (such as float shape, size, maximum float travel, motor and converter capacity, etc.) for the wave conditions of a specific sea area, so as to minimize the cost of the wave power generation device while maximizing its wave energy capture efficiency. The core issue here is how to estimate the wave energy capture efficiency of a wave power generation device with given parameters.

[0003] In related technologies, methods for estimating the average power of a wave power generation device with given parameters fall into two categories: one is time-domain simulation based on model predictive control, and the other is frequency-domain optimization based on pseudospectral methods. However, both methods require solving a large number of optimization problems, resulting in slow computation speeds and low processing efficiency for estimating the wave energy capture efficiency of a wave power generation device with given parameters. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this application is to provide a method, apparatus, and electronic device for estimating the power output of a wave power generation device.

[0024] Currently, when designing wave power generation devices, it is necessary to determine the core parameters of the device (such as float shape, size, maximum float travel, motor and converter capacity, etc.) for the wave conditions of a specific sea area, so as to minimize the cost of the wave power generation device while maximizing its wave energy capture efficiency. The core issue here is how to estimate the wave energy capture efficiency of a wave power generation device with given parameters.

[0025] In related technologies, methods for estimating the average power of a wave power generation device with given parameters fall into two categories: one is time-domain simulation based on model predictive control, and the other is frequency-domain optimization based on pseudospectral methods. However, both methods require solving a large number of optimization problems, resulting in slow computation speeds and low processing efficiency for estimating the wave energy capture efficiency of a wave power generation device with given parameters.

[0026] Based on this, this embodiment proposes a method, apparatus, and electronic device for estimating the power generation of a wave power generation device. The method involves calculating the wave height-period data distribution of the half-wave of the wave force time-domain signal from the wave power generation device; calculating the half-wave energy corresponding to the half-wave of the wave force time-domain signal based on the wave height-period data distribution; and calculating the average power of the wave force time-domain signal based on the wave height-period data distribution of the half-wave of the wave force time-domain signal and the calculated half-wave energy.

Simultaneously, the proposed analytical calculation method is faster than numerical methods, further accelerating the calculation efficiency of the average power.

[0027] In the following embodiments, the terms "half-wave energy corresponding to half-wave of the wave force time-domain signal" and "half-wave energy of the wave force time-domain signal" have the same meaning.

[0028] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] This embodiment proposes a method for estimating the power output of a wave power generation device, with the server as the execution entity.

[0031] See Figure 1 The flowchart shown illustrates a method for estimating the power output of a wave power generation device. This embodiment proposes a method for estimating the power output of a wave power generation device, including the following specific steps:

[0032] Step 100: Calculate the wave height-period data distribution of the wave force time domain signal half-wave of the wave power generation device; wherein, the wave force time domain signal is a sinusoidal time signal.

[0033] In step 100 above, the wave height-period data distribution of the wave force time domain signal half-wave includes: the correspondence between the wave height and period of the wave force time domain signal half-wave, and the joint probability distribution of the wave height and period of the wave force time domain signal half-wave.

[0034] Given that the wave height-period data distribution of the wave force time-domain signal half-wave corresponds to the wave height-period of the wave force time-domain signal half-wave, in order to calculate the wave height-period data distribution of the wave force time-domain signal half-wave of the wave power generation device, the following steps (1) to (7) can be performed:

[0035] (1) Obtain the wave excitation coefficient of the float, the energy spectrum of the wave, and the fundamental frequency of the wave as preset;

[0036] (2) Based on the fundamental frequency, obtain the frequency points of multiples of the fundamental frequency i, and use the frequency points of multiples of the fundamental frequency i to sample the energy spectrum to obtain the value of the energy spectrum at multiples of the fundamental frequency i; where i∈[0,1,2…n];

[0037] (3) The wave excitation coefficient of the float is sampled using the frequency point of the i-fold fundamental frequency to obtain the wave excitation coefficient of the float at the frequency point of the i-fold fundamental frequency; wherein, the wave excitation coefficient of the float at the frequency point of the i-fold fundamental frequency includes: the amplitude and the first phase at the frequency point of the i-fold fundamental frequency.

[0038] (4) Randomly assign the second phase to the frequency points of i multiples of the fundamental frequency between 0 and 2π;

[0039] (5) Calculate the wave force time-domain signal w(t) using the following formula:

[0040]

[0041] Where n represents the number of frequency points that are multiples of the fundamental frequency; |F e (jiω0)| represents the first phase; S(iω0) represents the value of the energy spectrum at a frequency point that is a multiple of the fundamental frequency; ω0 represents the fundamental frequency; φ i Indicates the second phase; t represents the time of the wave force time-domain signal; ∠F e (jiω0) represents the amplitude at a frequency point that is a multiple of the fundamental frequency;

[0042] (6) Detect the zero-crossing point of the wave force time domain signal to obtain the half-wave of each wave force time domain signal in the wave force time domain signal;

[0043] (7) Extract the wave height and period of each wave force time domain signal half wave respectively, and obtain the correspondence between the wave height and period of each wave force time domain signal half wave.

[0044] In step (1) above, the wave excitation coefficient of the float, the energy spectrum of the wave, and the pre-set fundamental frequency of the wave are pre-cached in the server.

[0045] In step (3) above, the wave excitation coefficient of the float at a frequency point that is a multiple of the fundamental frequency is a complex number. Therefore, the wave excitation coefficient of the float at a frequency point that is a multiple of the fundamental frequency includes the real part and the imaginary part of the complex number, respectively, for the amplitude and the first phase at the frequency point that is a multiple of the fundamental frequency.

[0046] In step (5) above, see Figure 2 The diagram shows a wave force time-domain signal w(t), where w(t) is a sinusoidal time signal.

[0047] In step (6) above, the zero-crossing point of the wave force time domain signal is detected, and the half-wave signal between adjacent zero-crossing points is determined as a half-wave of the wave force time domain signal in a wave force time domain signal.

[0048] In step (7) above, see Figure 3 The diagram illustrates the correspondence between wave height and period of N sets of wave force time-domain signal half-waves. The wave height-period data distribution of the wave force time-domain signal half-waves is defined as follows: N sets of wave height-period correspondences for wave force time-domain signal half-waves. The wave height-period correspondence of each set of wave force time-domain signal half-waves in the N sets of wave force time-domain signal half-wave correspondences is expressed as (W... r D r ), r∈1,…,N.

[0049] Of course, in addition to the process of calculating the correspondence between wave height and period of half wave of wave force time domain signal in steps (1) to (7) above, this embodiment can also use any existing scheme to calculate the correspondence between wave height and period of half wave of wave force time domain signal, which will not be elaborated here.

[0050] When the wave height-period data distribution of the wave force time-domain signal half-wave is the joint probability distribution of the wave force time-domain signal half-wave, in order to calculate the wave height-period data distribution of the wave force time-domain signal half-wave of the wave power generation device, the following steps (11) to (12) can be performed:

[0051] (11) Obtain the energy spectrum of the wave and the wave excitation coefficient of the float;

[0052] (12) The energy spectrum of the waves and the wave excitation coefficient of the float were processed using the ocean wave data analysis software (WAFO) to obtain the joint probability distribution of the wave height-period of the half-wave of the wave force time domain signal.

[0053] Alternatively, when the wave height-period data distribution of the wave force time-domain signal half-wave is a joint probability distribution of the wave force time-domain signal half-wave, the calculation of the wave height-period data distribution of the wave force time-domain signal half-wave of the wave power generation device includes the following steps (21) to (23):

[0054] (21) Obtain the energy spectrum of the wave and the wave excitation coefficient of the float;

[0055] (22) Calculate the energy spectrum characteristic parameters based on the energy spectrum of the waves and the wave excitation coefficient of the float;

[0056] (23) Based on the energy spectrum characteristic parameters, the LH probability distribution model is obtained, and the joint probability distribution of wave height-period of the wave force time domain signal half wave is calculated according to the LH probability distribution model.

[0057] In step (12) above, the specific process of using WAFO software to process the energy spectrum of the wave and the wave excitation coefficient of the float to obtain the joint probability distribution of the wave height-period of the half-wave of the wave force time domain signal is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0058] In steps (22) to (23) above, the energy spectrum characteristic parameters m0, m1, and m2 are calculated as follows:

[0059]

[0060] Then calculate the parameter v and the coefficient c. LH as follows:

[0061]

[0062]

[0063] Therefore, the LH probability distribution model is shown in the following formula:

[0064]

[0065] Where ω represents the angular frequency; S(ω) represents the energy spectrum; F e(jω) represents the buoyancy excitation force coefficient; p(W,D) represents the joint probability distribution of wave height-period of the half-wave of the wave force time domain signal; W represents wave height; D represents period.

[0066] The three cases described above for calculating the wave height-period data distribution of the half-wave of the wave force time-domain signal from the wave power generation device all assume that an accurate wave energy spectrum can be obtained. However, only the effective wave height H can be obtained. s and peak period T p In such cases, a wave spectrum model is needed to obtain the energy spectrum of the wave.

[0067] Specifically, in order to obtain only the effective wave height H of the wave s and peak period T p In this case, to obtain the energy spectrum of the wave, the following steps (1) to (2) can be performed:

[0068] (1) Obtain the effective wave height and peak period of the wave;

[0069] (2) Input the effective wave height and peak period of the wave into the spectrum model for modeling to obtain the energy spectrum of the wave.

[0070] In step (1) above, the effective wave height and peak period of the wave are pre-stored in the server.

[0071] In step (2) above, the spectrum model includes, but is not limited to, the JONSWAP model and the Bretschneider model.

[0072] For example, by inputting the effective wave height and peak period of the wave into the Bretschneider model for modeling, the energy spectrum of the wave is obtained as follows:

[0073]

[0074] Where, ω p ω is the peak frequency. p =2π / T p .

[0075] The specific process of inputting the effective wave height and peak period of the wave into the spectrum model to obtain the energy spectrum of the wave is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0076] Using the information from steps (1) to (2) above, only the effective wave height H can be obtained. s and peak period T pIn this case, after obtaining the energy spectrum of the wave, we can return to the three cases mentioned above for calculating the wave height-period data distribution of the half-wave of the wave force time domain signal of the wave power generator, and calculate the wave height-period data distribution of the half-wave of the wave force time domain signal of the wave power generator.

[0077] After calculating the wave height-period data distribution of the wave force time domain signal half-wave through the above step 100, the half-wave energy corresponding to the wave force time domain signal half-wave is calculated through the following step 102.

[0078] Step 102: Calculate the half-wave energy corresponding to the half-wave of the wave force time domain signal based on the wave height-period data distribution of the half-wave.

[0079] In step 102 above, the half-wave energy corresponding to the half-wave of the wave force time-domain signal can be calculated in the following two ways.

[0080] In the first case, in order to calculate the half-wave energy corresponding to the half-wave of the wave force time-domain signal, the following steps (1) to (3) can be performed:

[0081] (1) Obtain the maximum displacement of the wave power generation device;

[0082] (2) For the wave height-period data distribution of any wave force time-domain signal half-wave, the constraint coefficient α is calculated using the following formula:

[0083]

[0084] Among them, R eq Z represents the damping coefficient that matches the period recorded in the wave height-period data distribution of the wave force time-domain signal half-wave for calculating the current half-wave energy; m Indicates the maximum displacement of the wave generator; W represents the wave height; D represents the period.

[0085] (3) The half-wave energy of the wave force time-domain signal is calculated using the following formula:

[0086]

[0087] Where E(W, D) represents the half-wave energy of the wave force time-domain signal.

[0088] In step (1) above, the maximum displacement of the wave generator is pre-cached in the server.

[0089] In step (2) above, the server has a pre-stored correspondence between period and damping coefficient; then, in order to obtain the damping coefficient, the server queries the correspondence between period and damping coefficient to find the damping coefficient that matches the period recorded in the wave height-period data distribution of the wave force time domain signal half-wave for calculating the current half-wave energy.

[0090] Here, when the wave height-period data distribution of the wave force time-domain signal half-wave is N sets of wave height-period correspondences for the wave force time-domain signal half-wave, the wave height-period correspondence (W) for each set of wave force time-domain signal half-wave is... r D r The half-wave energy of the wave force time-domain signal calculated is expressed as E(W). r D r ), r∈1,...,N.

[0091] Given the wave height-period data distribution of a half-wave in the wave force time-domain signal as p(W, D), p(W, D) is essentially a binary function, represented as a two-dimensional array (table) in the server. The meaning of p(W, D) is the probability (density) that for any given half-wave, its wave height is W and its period is D. Therefore, given p(W, D), the server can substitute W and D within the selected probability range from p(W, D) into the formula for calculating the constraint coefficient α to calculate the constraint coefficient α.

[0092] In the second case, the calculation of the half-wave energy of the wave force time-domain signal by utilizing the wave height-period data distribution of the half-wave of the wave force time-domain signal further includes the following steps (1) to (2):

[0093] (1) Based on the wave height and period recorded in the wave height-period data distribution of the wave force time domain signal half wave, a regular wave is obtained whose wave height is a preset multiple of the wave height of the wave force time domain signal half wave and whose period is a preset multiple of the period of the wave force time domain signal half wave.

[0094] (2) Input the obtained regular wave into WecOptTool to calculate the half-wave energy of the wave force time domain signal.

[0095] In step (1) above, the preset quantity multiple is 2.

[0096] The specific process of obtaining a regular wave whose wave height is a preset multiple of the wave height of the wave force time domain signal half-wave and whose period is a preset multiple of the period of the wave force time domain signal half-wave, based on the wave height and period recorded in the wave height-period data distribution of the wave force time domain signal half-wave, is existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0097] Given p(W,D), a regular wave can be obtained by selecting W and D within the probability range of p(W,D), where the wave height is a preset multiple of the wave height of the half-wave of the wave force time domain signal and the period is a preset multiple of the period of the half-wave of the wave force time domain signal.

[0098] In step (2) above, the obtained regular wave is input into WecOptTool to calculate the half-wave energy of the wave force time domain signal.

[0099] Step 104: Calculate the average power of the wave force time domain signal based on the wave height-period data distribution of the half-wave of the wave force time domain signal and the calculated half-wave energy of the wave force time domain signal.

[0100] Specifically, in order to calculate the average power of the wave force time-domain signal, step 104 above can be performed by executing the following steps (1) to (2):

[0101] (1) When the wave height-period data distribution of the half-wave of the wave force time-domain signal adopts the correspondence between the wave height and period of the half-wave of the wave force time-domain signal, the average power P of the wave force time-domain signal is calculated by the following formula:

[0102]

[0103] Where N represents the number of wave height-period correspondences for the half-wave of the wave force time-domain signal; E(W r D r D represents the half-wave energy of the wave force time-domain signal calculated from the correspondence between wave height and period of the r-th group of wave force time-domain signals; r The period represents the correspondence between the wave height and period of the r-th group of wave force time-domain signals.

[0104] (2) When the wave height-period data distribution of the half-wave of the wave force time-domain signal adopts the joint probability distribution of the wave height-period of the half-wave of the wave force time-domain signal, the average power P of the wave force time-domain signal is calculated by the following formula:

[0105]

[0106] Where p(W,D) represents the joint probability distribution of wave height-period of half-wave of wave force time-domain signal; E(W,D) represents the half-wave energy of wave force time-domain signal calculated from the joint probability distribution of wave height-period of half-wave of wave force time-domain signal.

[0107] In step (1) above, This represents the total energy of N half-waves in the wave force time-domain signal. The total time of N half-waves in the wave force time domain signal is represented by the sum of the two values, which gives the average power P.

[0108] In step (2) above, the result of the integral of ∫∫p(W,D)E(W,D)dWdD represents the total energy of the N half waves in the wave force time domain signal, and the result of the integral of ∫∫p(W,D)DdWdD represents the total time of the N half waves in the wave force time domain signal. The difference between the two is the average power P.

[0109] In summary, this embodiment proposes a method for estimating the power output of a wave power generation device. It calculates the wave height-period data distribution of the wave force time-domain signal half-wave of the wave power generation device. Based on this data distribution, the half-wave energy corresponding to each half-wave is calculated. Finally, based on the wave height-period data distribution and the calculated half-wave energy, the average power of the wave force time-domain signal is calculated. Compared to related technologies that require solving numerous or large-scale optimization problems, this method divides the wave force time-domain signal of the wave power generation device into multiple half-waves and calculates the average power of the wave force time-domain signal by individually calculating the half-wave energy corresponding to each half-wave. The entire calculation process does not require solving numerous or large-scale optimization problems related to the wave force time-domain signal and does not require calculations throughout the entire system operation process, significantly reducing computation time. Furthermore, the proposed analytical calculation method is faster than numerical methods, further accelerating the calculation efficiency of the average power.

[0111] This embodiment proposes an apparatus for estimating the power output of a wave power generation device, used to execute the method for estimating the power output of a wave power generation device proposed in Embodiment 1 above.

[0112] See Figure 2 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a device for estimating the power output of a wave power generation device. This embodiment proposes a device for estimating the power output of a wave power generation device, comprising:

[0113] The first calculation module 200 is used to calculate the wave height-period data distribution of the wave force time domain signal half-wave of the wave power generation device; wherein, the wave force time domain signal is a sinusoidal time signal;

[0114] The second calculation module 202 is used to calculate the half-wave energy corresponding to the half-wave of the wave force time domain signal based on the wave height-period data distribution of the half-wave.

[0115] The third calculation module 204 is used to calculate the average power of the wave force time domain signal based on the wave height-period data distribution of the half-wave of the wave force time domain signal and the calculated half-wave energy of the wave force time domain signal.

[0116] In one embodiment, the wave height-period data distribution of the wave force time-domain signal half-wave includes: the correspondence between the wave height and period of the wave force time-domain signal half-wave.

[0117] Specifically, the first calculation module is used for:

[0119] Based on the fundamental frequency, frequency points of multiples of the fundamental frequency are obtained, and the energy spectrum is sampled using the frequency points of multiples of the fundamental frequency to obtain the value of the energy spectrum at multiples of the fundamental frequency; where i∈[0,1,2…n].

[0120] The wave excitation coefficient of the float is sampled using the frequency point of the i-th multiple of the fundamental frequency to obtain the wave excitation coefficient of the float at the frequency point of the i-th multiple of the fundamental frequency; wherein, the wave excitation coefficient of the float at the frequency point of the i-th multiple of the fundamental frequency includes: the amplitude and the first phase at the frequency point of the i-th multiple of the fundamental frequency.

[0121] Between 0 and 2π, a second phase is randomly assigned to frequency points that are multiples of the fundamental frequency (i).

[0124] Where n represents the number of frequency points that are multiples of the fundamental frequency; |F e (jiω0)| represents the first phase; S(iω0) represents the value of the energy spectrum at a frequency point that is a multiple of the fundamental frequency; ω0 represents the fundamental frequency; φ i Indicates the second phase; t represents the time of the wave force time-domain signal; ∠F e (jiω0) represents the amplitude at a frequency point that is a multiple of the fundamental frequency;
