Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of image recognition, and in particular to a wind turbine blade infrared monitoring system and method based on unmanned aerial vehicle inspection. Background Art

[0002] Drones play a vital role in wind turbine blade inspection. As wind turbine blades are often exposed to extreme weather and corrosive environments, they are the most vulnerable part of the wind power generation system. Therefore, regular inspection and maintenance of blades are essential for the stable operation of wind farms. The use of drones has greatly improved the efficiency of blade inspection and reduced the risk of personnel working at heights. Equipped with high-resolution cameras and advanced sensors, they can conduct comprehensive inspections of blades at different distances and viewing angles, thereby improving the accuracy and automation of inspection work.

[0003] At present, the processing of infrared images of wind turbine blades obtained by UAVs is mostly based on infrared images to determine whether the temperature inside the UAV is abnormal, such as identifying the part with the highest temperature and checking whether the highest temperature exceeds the set threshold, and then judging whether there is abnormal temperature rise in the wind turbine blades. Although this method can identify some abnormal temperature rise phenomena, it does not analyze the temperature uniformity of the wind turbine blades themselves, nor does it combine the temperature of the wind turbine blades with the geographical environment, which are important factors affecting the temperature of the wind turbine blades, and thus affect the accuracy of the judgment. In other words, the current processing method of infrared images of wind turbine blades does not combine the environment or the overall temperature of the wind turbine blades for analysis, and is not enough to adapt to the problem of blade temperature changes caused by various environments.

[0004] In view of this, there is a need for an infrared monitoring system and method for wind turbine blades based on drone inspection. Summary of the invention

[0053] It should be further understood that the term "and / or" used in the present description and the appended claims refers to any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, a wind turbine blade infrared monitoring system based on drone inspection is provided. Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0055] 1. Image acquisition unit

[0056] The image acquisition unit includes a drone, an infrared camera and an image storage module mounted on the drone. The infrared camera is used to acquire several infrared thermal images of the fan blades and store them in the image storage module. Moreover, the infrared thermal images are used to subsequently monitor whether the fan blades have internal heating or other damage. The data storage method in the image storage module is timestamp-geographic location-fan blade number-several images of the fan blade under the current number corresponding to the timestamp. In other words, each infrared thermal image contains a corresponding timestamp label and a fan blade number label.

[0057] 2. Image Recognition Unit

[0058] The image recognition unit is connected to the image acquisition unit to acquire the image stored in the storage module, and includes a temperature difference recognition module, a uniformity recognition module and an alarm module. The following further describes these three modules.

[0059] The temperature difference recognition module calculates the highest and lowest temperatures of each infrared thermal image through temperature inversion, and then obtains the highest and lowest temperatures at the corresponding timestamp and fan blade number, and finally obtains the temperature difference of fan blade number i at the corresponding timestamp. Figure 2 As shown, the temperature difference recognition module performs the following operations:

[0060] Step 1: Acquire infrared thermal imaging in the image storage module;

[0061] Step 2: Obtain a mapping table or conversion formula between grayscale value and temperature provided by the manufacturer of the infrared camera. The conversion formula includes a linear relationship, as shown below:

[0062] T=a·G+b

[0063] Where T is temperature (degrees Celsius), G is grayscale value (0-255), and a and b are calibration parameters;

[0064] Step 3: Based on the conversion formula or mapping table, obtain the temperature set of several pictures with the same fan blade number at the same timestamp, and obtain the maximum temperature by finding the maximum value: T max =max(T); Similarly, the lowest temperature is obtained by finding the minimum value: T min =min(T);

[0065] Step 4: Return the corresponding timestamp-fan blade number-temperature difference, where the temperature difference is calculated as follows:

[0066] ΔT=T max -T min

[0067] Where ΔT is the temperature difference, Tmax is the maximum temperature, T min is the lowest temperature.

[0068] Since different geographical locations will bring different environmental temperatures and humidity, temperature differences between morning and evening, altitudes and other geographical environments, the temperature changes of the fans will show strong correlation characteristics with the geographical locations. Therefore, when analyzing the temperature changes of the fans, if the fan data of all geographical locations are integrated together for analysis, the data cannot be measured under one standard due to different geographical environments. Therefore, dividing the geographical locations and classifying them based on different geographical locations will make the alarm analysis more accurate.

[0069] The uniformity recognition module is used to obtain several infrared thermal images of each fan blade number in the same area (based on geographical location), and then uniformly calculate the highest and lowest temperatures of each infrared thermal image, build a temperature analysis set, and calculate the overall standard deviation based on the temperature analysis set to judge the degree of temperature dispersion in the area. Figure 3 As shown, the uniformity recognition module performs the following operations:

[0070] Step 01: Divide different areas based on geographical locations and obtain all infrared thermal imaging data in the same area;

[0071] Step 02: Obtain the grayscale value and temperature mapping table or conversion formula provided by the manufacturer of the infrared camera. The conversion formula includes a linear relationship, as shown below:

[0072] T=a·G+b

[0073] Where T is temperature (degrees Celsius), G is grayscale value (0-255), and a and b are calibration parameters;

[0074] Step 03: Based on the conversion formula or mapping table, obtain the temperature set of several images of the same fan blade number i at the same timestamp, and obtain the maximum temperature by finding the maximum value: T max (i) = max(T); Similarly, the lowest temperature is obtained by finding the minimum value: T min (i) = min(T);

[0075] Step 04: Calculate the population standard deviation using the following formula:

[0076]

[0077] Where T(i) is the set of the highest temperature and the lowest temperature of the fan blade number i, that is, T(i) = [T max (i), T min(i)], N is the total number of fan blade numbers in the region, and μ is the overall average, i.e., the average of the maximum and minimum temperatures of all fan blades in the region.

[0078] The alarm module is provided with a temperature difference threshold θ 温度差 And the alarm threshold value of the standard deviation θ 标准差 , by collecting infrared thermal images of the motor blades in real time, we try to obtain the temperature difference of the motor blades and compare it with the threshold value θ of the temperature difference in real time. 温度差 When the temperature difference of the motor blades is greater than the set threshold, the first alarm signal is issued. In addition, by collecting infrared thermal images of the motor blades in the area and calculating the overall standard deviation of the highest and lowest temperatures of the motor blades in the area, the temperature dispersion in the area is analyzed, and then compared with the set value. When the temperature standard deviation in the area is greater than the temperature difference threshold θ 温度差 The first alarm signal and the second alarm signal carry different information. The first alarm signal carries information about the abnormal temperature of the corresponding clicked blade, and the second alarm signal carries information about the abnormal situation of the temperature dispersion degree in the area.

[0079] In addition, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the specific calculation of temperature can also use Planck formula to convert the sensor radiation intensity value corresponding to the image pixel into the corresponding brightness temperature value. The formula is as follows:

[0080]

[0081] Among them, T sensor is the brightness temperature value (unit K), DN is the spectral radiation value obtained after image preprocessing, K 1 and K 2 Is a constant.

[0082] 3. Terminal processing and feedback unit

[0083] The terminal processing unit is used to receive the first alarm signal and the second alarm signal, and go to the site to perform troubleshooting and corresponding processing based on different alarm signals, and feed back the troubleshooting situation and response processing situation to the evaluation and management unit.

[0084] The fault troubleshooting conditions include confirming that the alarm signal is correct and confirming that the alarm signal is wrong, and the response processing conditions include whether the fault has been processed and whether the fault has not been processed.

[0085] IV. Evaluation and Management Unit

[0086] The evaluation and management unit is used for the health factor of the fan blades. The calculation formula of the health factor is as follows:

[0087]

[0088] Where Z is the health factor, ΔT is the temperature difference of the fan blade at the current moment, σ is the standard deviation of the area where the blade is located, Year is the service life, Nt is the number of failures within the set period, δ 1 , δ 2 , δ 3 , δ 4 They are the weight coefficients of temperature difference, standard deviation, service life and number of failures respectively.

[0095] S6: Calculate the health factor of the fan blades. The calculation formula of the health factor is as follows:
