Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of material corrosion detection, and more specifically, to a method and system for detecting corrosion of an offshore wind power tower based on microprobe technology. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, the global energy structure has been continuously transformed towards low-carbon and environmental protection. Renewable energy technologies represented by wind power generation have been widely used, among which offshore wind power generation is currently the fastest-growing green energy technology. However, offshore wind turbines face severe challenges of seawater corrosion, especially the tower materials of offshore wind turbines face various corrosion failures. The towers of offshore wind turbines are in a marine environment with high humidity and high salt fog all year round, and are easily affected by harsh environments such as seawater, atmospheric corrosion, and waves, resulting in variable equipment corrosion conditions. In severe cases, they may even cause safety accidents, resulting in casualties and economic losses. Corrosion monitoring technology can monitor the corrosion rate and state of equipment in real time and continuously, ensuring that corrosion problems are discovered and handled in a timely manner without affecting the safe and stable operation of the equipment system, thereby ensuring the safe operation of offshore wind turbines, extending the service life of equipment, and reducing maintenance costs and potential accident risks. In addition, corrosion monitoring can also help understand the formation process and control effect of corrosion, evaluate the operating life of equipment, and provide a scientific basis for formulating reasonable maintenance strategies. Therefore, in order to ensure the long-term stable operation and safe production of offshore wind turbines, it is necessary to use appropriate detection technology to conduct safety assessment of the corrosion of offshore wind turbines.
[0003] However, among the existing corrosion monitoring technologies, contact probe detection technology requires physical contact to measure the corrosion state of the material. This method has obvious defects for towers protected by coatings. It is destructive to the tower materials of offshore wind turbines covered with coatings. The probe needs to penetrate the coating, which will not only destroy the integrity of the coating, but also may cause the internal steel to be exposed to the corrosive environment, causing more serious corrosion, which is contrary to the principle of long-term stable service of offshore wind turbines. Secondly, methods such as the resistance probe method (hanging piece weight loss method) that use the corrosion of the probe to indirectly indicate the corrosion of the outer wall cannot directly and accurately detect the corrosion of the tower. Its credibility is not high and it cannot provide accurate data support for maintenance and repair work. Finally, although the emerging electromagnetic signal imaging technology can visualize the defects of metal structures to a certain extent, they usually lack quantitative evaluation of the degree of corrosion. At the same time, metal magnetic corrosion products will also interfere with the propagation of electromagnetic signals, thereby affecting the accuracy of the detection results.
[0004] The prior art, such as the Chinese patent application with the publication number "CN112343775A", discloses an on-line corrosion monitoring method for the tower barrel of an offshore wind turbine. The metal corrosion condition of the outer wall of the tower barrel of the offshore wind turbine is monitored through resistance probes, a corrosion data acquisition and transmission system, and a data processing system. The resistance probe technology is adopted. The resistance probes are installed on the outer wall of the tower barrel. The on-line probe corrosion measuring instrument in the on-site monitoring instrument cabinet collects, amplifies, and converts the signals, and then transmits them to the data processing system after processing. The data processing system is a computer in the monitoring room. The corrosion depth is calculated through Ohm's law.
[0005] The problems existing in the above prior art are that this method adopts the resistance probe technology, which can only detect the corrosion condition of the outer wall of the tower barrel, and the resistance probes need to be fixedly installed, and the detection process is relatively fixed, and it is impossible to detect the corrosion condition of the tower barrel in different regions.

[0048] Embodiment 1:
[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will describe the technical solutions of the present invention clearly and completely in conjunction with specific embodiments of the present application and with reference to the attached Figure 1 , and make a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of the present invention.
[0050] To solve the problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for detecting corrosion of an offshore wind turbine tower based on microprobe technology, including the following steps:
[0051] Step S1: Place the microprobe corrosion detection device on the offshore wind turbine tower to be measured. The probes of the microprobe corrosion detection device include a signal transmitting probe and a signal receiving probe, and set the probe interval between the signal transmitting probe and the signal receiving probe according to the thickness and corrosion condition of the anti-corrosion coating of the offshore wind turbine tower.
[0052] The microprobe corrosion detection device further includes a magnetic adsorption climbing mechanism, a control and analysis integration mechanism, and a solar cell. Among them, the magnetic adsorption climbing mechanism is used to drive the microprobe corrosion detection device to move on the offshore wind turbine tower; the control and analysis integration mechanism is used to control the microprobe corrosion detection device and collect and analyze the corrosion conditions of the main steel structure and anti-corrosion coating of the offshore wind turbine tower; the solar cell is used to provide electrical energy for the entire microprobe corrosion detection device.
[0053] The probe interval between the signal transmitting probe and the signal receiving probe of the microprobe corrosion detection device is set according to the thickness and corrosion condition of the anti-corrosion coating of the offshore wind turbine tower. The initial probe interval is set according to the design specifications of the wind turbine tower and the experience of previous similar projects. During the movement of the microprobe corrosion detection device, the probe interval is adjusted according to the real-time monitored data. The specific adjustment basis is:
[0054]
[0055] In the formula: L is the distance between the signal transmitting probe and the signal receiving probe; ε0, ε S are the vacuum permittivity and the relative permittivity of the anti-corrosion coating respectively; S2 is the contact area between the transmitting probe and the receiving probe and the anti-corrosion coating; C is the equivalent capacitance value of the capacitance effect formed by the steel structure, the anti-corrosion coating, and the transmitting and receiving microprobes; d is the thickness of the anti-corrosion coating; k is the correction coefficient.
[0056] Step S2: During the movement of the microprobe corrosion detection device on the offshore wind turbine tower to be measured, the signal transmitting probe emits an alternating current signal at a preset frequency. The emitted alternating current signal is propagated through the anti-corrosion coating of the wind turbine tower as a medium and penetrates the coating into the main steel structure of the wind turbine tower.
[0057] The signal transmitting probe emits an alternating current signal at a preset frequency. The expression of the alternating current signal is:
[0058]
[0059] Where: u(t) and i(t) are the instantaneous voltage and current values of the AC signal; U and I are the effective values of the voltage and current of the AC signal respectively; ω is the preset angular frequency; t is the duration experienced by the AC signal starting from the emission time.
[0060] Step S3, the emitted AC signal is conducted in the main steel structure of the wind turbine tower and then returns to the signal receiving probe through the anti-corrosion coating of the wind turbine tower. At this time, the anti-corrosion coating of the wind turbine tower forms a capacitance effect in the loop.
[0061] The anti-corrosion coating of the wind turbine tower forms a capacitance effect in the loop, causing a phase change in the AC signal. Specifically:
[0062]
[0063] Where: i C (t) is the instantaneous value of the AC current passing through the capacitor C; u c (t) is the instantaneous voltage value across the capacitor C; C is the equivalent capacitance value of the capacitance effect formed by the steel structure, the anti-corrosion coating, and the transmitting and receiving micro-probes. is the voltage change rate;
[0064] The expression of the capacitive reactance effect is:
[0065]
[0066] Where: X C is the capacitive reactance; f is the frequency of the electrical signal, and the relationship with the angular frequency of the electrical signal is ω = 2πf.
[0067] Step S4, analyze the AC signal collected by the signal receiving probe to obtain the metal resistance of the main steel structure in the offshore wind turbine tower and the equivalent capacitance value of the capacitance effect, and judge the corrosion conditions of the main steel structure and the anti-corrosion coating of the offshore wind turbine tower according to the obtained metal resistance and equivalent capacitance value.
[0068] As Figure 2 shown, the AC signal is emitted by the signal transmitting probe, conducted through the anti-corrosion coating to the inside of the main steel structure of the offshore wind turbine tower, and then returns to the signal receiving probe through the anti-corrosion coating. Its conduction process can be simplified as experiencing a CRC series circuit, and the instantaneous relationship of the circuit is as follows:
[0069]
[0070] u = u(t) R + u C1 (t) + u C2 (t);
[0071] Where: u is the total voltage of the CRC series circuit; u R is the instantaneous voltage value across the metal resistance of the main steel structure in the CRC series circuit; u C1 (t), u C2 (t) are the instantaneous voltage values across the capacitors formed by the electrical signal passing through the anti-corrosion coating once and twice, respectively;
[0072] According to Kirchhoff's voltage law in phasor form, we have:
[0073]
[0074] Where: is the total voltage vector of the CRC series circuit; is the voltage vector across the metal resistance of the main steel structure in the CRC series circuit; are the voltage phasors across the primary and secondary capacitors, respectively; is the current vector of the CRC series circuit; R is the resistance value of the metal resistance of the main steel structure in the CRC series circuit; j is the imaginary unit.
[0075] According to the phasor change of the AC signal, the metal resistance and the equivalent capacitance value of the capacitance effect in the tower can be calculated. The calculation methods of the metal resistance and the equivalent capacitance value are as follows:
[0076]
[0077] Where: R is the resistance value of the metal resistance of the main steel structure in the CRC series circuit; ρ is the resistivity of the main steel structure; L is the distance between the transmitting probe and the receiving probe; S1 is the conductive cross-sectional area of the main steel structure; C is the equivalent capacitance value of the capacitance effect formed by the steel structure, the anti-corrosion coating, and the transmitting and receiving micro-probes; ε0, ε S are the vacuum permittivity and the relative permittivity of the anti-corrosion coating, respectively; S2 is the contact area between the transmitting probe and the receiving probe and the anti-corrosion coating, and d is the thickness of the anti-corrosion coating. Due to the corrosion effect, when the metal corrodes, the thickness will decrease, resulting in an increase in the metal resistance. Corrosion will also cause a decrease in the density of the anti-corrosion coating or a loss of thickness, etc. In this case, its permittivity will increase and the detection distance will decrease, resulting in an increase in capacitance. The corrosion conditions of the main steel structure and the anti-corrosion coating of the offshore wind turbine tower are judged according to the changes in the metal resistance and the equivalent capacitance value.
[0078] Example 2:
[0079] This example provides an offshore wind turbine tower corrosion detection system based on micro-probe technology, including:
[0080] Device setting and initialization module: Place the microprobe corrosion detection device on the offshore wind turbine tower to be measured. The probes of the microprobe corrosion detection device include a signal transmitting probe and a signal receiving probe. Set the probe interval between the signal transmitting probe and the signal receiving probe according to the thickness and corrosion condition of the anti-corrosion coating of the offshore wind turbine tower.
[0081] Electrical signal transmitting module: During the movement of the microprobe corrosion detection device on the offshore wind turbine tower to be measured, the signal transmitting probe emits an alternating current signal at a preset frequency. The emitted alternating current signal propagates through the anti-corrosion coating of the wind turbine tower as a medium and penetrates the coating into the main steel structure of the wind turbine tower.
[0082] Electrical signal receiving module: After the emitted alternating current signal is conducted in the main steel structure of the wind turbine tower, it returns to the signal receiving probe through the anti-corrosion coating of the wind turbine tower. At this time, the anti-corrosion coating of the wind turbine tower forms a capacitance effect in the circuit.
[0083] Corrosion condition analysis and processing module: Analyze the alternating current signal collected by the signal receiving probe to obtain the metal resistance of the main steel structure in the offshore wind turbine tower and the equivalent capacitance value of the capacitance effect. Judge the corrosion conditions of the main steel structure and the anti-corrosion coating of the offshore wind turbine tower according to the obtained metal resistance and equivalent capacitance value.

The AC signal from the electrical signal receiving module is transmitted in the main steel structure of the wind turbine tower and then returns to the signal receiving probe through the wind turbine tower anti-corrosion coating. At this time, the wind turbine tower anti-corrosion coating forms a capacitive effect in the loop; The corrosion analysis and processing module analyzes the AC signal collected by the signal receiving probe to obtain the metal resistance and equivalent capacitance value of the main steel structure in the offshore wind turbine tower, and judges the corrosion condition of the main steel structure and anti-corrosion coating of the offshore wind turbine tower based on the obtained metal resistance and equivalent capacitance values.
