Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of wind turbine simulation, and particularly to a multi-physics field coupling simulation and modeling method and device for a wind turbine system. Background Art

[0002] The main goal of multi-physics field coupling research is to explore and describe the interaction and influence mechanisms between different physical fields, aiming to deeply understand the comprehensive nature of various natural and engineering phenomena in the real world. In our daily life and scientific research, we often encounter situations where multiple physical fields are intertwined and interact with each other. For example, the electric field, magnetic field, and thermal field generated during the operation of electrical equipment interact with each other; materials exhibit complex behaviors under the combined influence of factors such as structural mechanics, thermal effects, and electromagnetic excitation.

[0003] The research on multi-physics field coupling has important theoretical significance and practical application value. By deeply studying the interaction mechanisms between different physical fields, it can provide theoretical guidance and technical support for designing more accurate and reliable engineering systems. This interdisciplinary multi-physics field simulation and modeling method is of great significance for solving modern engineering problems, optimizing product performance, and improving resource utilization efficiency.

[0004] In computational modeling, multi-physics field simulation (usually abbreviated as multi-physics) is defined as simultaneously simulating different aspects of one or more physical systems and their interactions. For example, simultaneously simulating the physical stress on an object, the temperature distribution of the object, and the thermal expansion that causes changes in stress and temperature distribution will be regarded as multi-physics field simulation. Multi-physics field simulation is related to multi-scale simulation, which refers to the simultaneous simulation of a single process on multiple time or distance scales. As an interdisciplinary field, multi-physics field simulation can span many scientific and engineering disciplines. Simulation methods often include numerical analysis, partial differential equations, and tensor analysis. With the rapid development of computer technology, multi-physics field simulation has become an important tool for researching and solving complex problems. Based on computational simulation and simulation methods, the interaction between different physical fields can be accurately described, and the system response can be obtained by numerically solving the corresponding equations. This simulation-based method provides strong support for innovative design and virtual testing, and helps to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery and engineering technology progress.

[0005] In wind turbine simulation, multi - physical - field coupling technology is widely applied in the co - simulation of aerodynamic - mechanical models, electromagnetic transient characteristics, and control systems. For example, based on the method of multi - controller hardware - in - the - loop simulation, by combining multi - body dynamics and electromagnetic transient characteristics, the accurate reproduction of the operating characteristics of wind turbines is achieved. In addition, through multi - physical - field coupling simulation technology, the dynamic loads and performance of the drive train, blade structure, and control system of wind turbines can be evaluated, thereby optimizing the design and reducing the R & D cost.

[0006] The application of multi - physical - field coupling simulation technology in wind turbine simulation has made remarkable progress. The key to multi - physical - field coupling simulation lies in how to handle the complex interaction between different physical fields. For example, in the fluid - structure interaction problem, a two - way information transfer between the fluid field and the structure field needs to be achieved through implicit or explicit coupling schemes. In addition, data transfer algorithms (such as node - mapping data algorithms, integrator algorithms, etc.) are also important technical means to achieve efficient coupling of multi - physical fields. However, multi - physical - field coupling simulation still faces many challenges, such as high computational resource requirements, insufficient numerical stability, and difficulty in determining boundary conditions.

[0007] The application of multi - physical - field coupling simulation technology in wind turbine simulation not only improves the accuracy and reliability of the model but also provides strong support for design optimization in complex environments. However, with the increasing complexity of simulation problems, how to overcome problems such as high computational resource requirements and insufficient numerical stability remains the key research direction in the future.

[0008] The difficulty of direct coupling numerical calculation of multi - physical fields is relatively large, mainly reflected in: there are significant differences in the algorithms and grid discretizations of different physical fields, and the requirements of each physical field for the grid must be considered during grid meshing. The convergence problem of iterative solution. The control equations of the electromagnetic field and the temperature field are relatively simple and have a fast convergence speed, while the control equation of the fluid field is complex and has poor convergence. The finite - volume method with a relatively fast convergence speed is often selected for the fluid field, while the finite - element method with higher computational accuracy is used for the electromagnetic field and the temperature field. It is difficult for the direct coupling method to take both into account simultaneously.

[0009] Therefore, for multi - physical - field collaborative modeling, specifically: constructing a coupling simulation framework for the electromagnetic field - temperature field - fluid field - structural mechanics field, and using the finite - volume method (FVM) and multi - body dynamics (MBS) for collaborative solution to accurately simulate the dynamic response of the fan under complex working conditions is an important content that technical personnel in this field need to focus on researching.

[0077] Figure 2A flowchart of a coupled simulation framework for constructing an electromagnetic field - temperature field - flow field - structural mechanics field provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0078] As Figure 2 shown, specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the multi - physical - field collaborative modeling steps: constructing a coupled simulation framework for an electromagnetic field - temperature field - flow field - structural mechanics field, including:

[0079] S1.1, constructing a three - dimensional simulation model of the offshore wind turbine system through ANSYS according to the structure of the offshore wind turbine system;

[0083] Specifically, a two - way weak coupling strategy is adopted: electromagnetic field (Maxwell's equations) → temperature field (heat conduction / convection) → flow field (CFD) → structural field (solid mechanics) to transfer data in sequence, and field - to - field data mapping is realized through the ANSYS Workbench platform.

[0084] Key coupling variables: electromagnetic loss (Joule heat) → heat source of the temperature field, temperature distribution → buoyancy force / material property change in the flow field, pressure / velocity in the flow field → surface load of the structure, structural deformation → geometric model update (requiring mesh re - division).

[0085] The construction of the three - dimensional simulation model can be as follows: First, geometric modeling is required, including key components: tower barrel, nacelle, blade, generator (permanent magnet synchronous), and subsea foundation (single pile / jacket). The blade adopts a parametric airfoil section (NACA series) to retain the aerodynamic shape; the stator and rotor of the generator retain the tooth - slot structure, and small features such as bolts are ignored. Mesh requirements: electromagnetic region (air gap / winding): locally refined to 0.5 times the skin depth; flow field boundary layer: y+ < 5, expansion ratio 1.2.

[0086] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the construction of the coupled simulation framework for the electromagnetic field - temperature field - flow field - structural mechanics field further includes:

[0089] S2.3. Judge whether the temperature-field - flow-field converges. If it does, the solution ends; if not, calculate the temperature correction based on the thermal response and thermal distribution, input the temperature correction into the electromagnetic field analysis file, and iteratively execute S2.1 until the convergence error is within the allowable range;

Establish a structural mechanics field model, couple the electromagnetic field model, temperature-field - flow-field, and structural mechanics field model to form a multi-physics field coupling model, and input the temperature correction into the structural mechanics field analysis file for subsequent simulation analysis.

Boundaries and solutions include: Master / Slave boundary handling for periodic symmetry; Transient solution step size ≤ 1 / 20 electrical cycle, and it is necessary to output the eddy current loss density nephogram.

[0092] The coupling of the temperature-field - flow-field includes importing electromagnetic losses (copper loss of winding, core eddy loss) into the heat source mapping of Fluent in the form of volume heat sources. The cooling strategies include: Forced air cooling: Set the rotating domain (MRF method), inlet air velocity = rated speed × blade radius; Liquid cooling pipeline: Use the porous medium model to simulate heat dissipation fins, and coupled conjugate heat transfer (CHT).

Contact nonlinearity includes bearing contact: Adopt the Augmented Lagrange algorithm, friction coefficient 0.1; Bolt pre-tightening force: Simulated through the Bolt Thread function. Failure criteria include for blades: Tsai-Wu composite material criterion; for tower barrels: DNVGL-RP-C202 fatigue damage model.

[0094] The collaborative solution of the finite volume method FVM and multi-body dynamics MBS is adopted to accurately simulate the dynamic response of the wind turbine under complex working conditions, including:

[0095] Pretreatment stage: Define the geometry of the computational domain, generate a mesh, discretize the computational domain into small, non-overlapping sub-regions of control volumes, and determine the fluid properties and appropriate boundary conditions for the boundaries of the computational domain according to the physical characteristics of the multi-physics model;

[0096] Solution stage: Integrate the hydrodynamic control equations for all elements within the computational domain, convert the resulting integral equations into algebraic equation systems through a discretization process, and obtain the solutions of the algebraic equations in each element using an appropriate numerical scheme;

[0097] Result analysis stage: Use the SCADA system to obtain data, analyze it in combination with machine learning methods, and visualize and display it.

[0098] Specifically, the pretreatment stage also includes computational domain modeling and discretization, geometric modeling and mesh generation steps, geometric parameterization: The blade is parametrically modeled using the NREL S-series airfoil, and the angle of attack and twist angle distribution are automatically adjusted by driving ANSYS DesignModeler through a Python script. The tower and foundation structure are generated based on the OpenFAST input file, retaining weld and flange details. A flexible multi-body model is established in Adams / View, the blade is defined as a flexible body (.mnf file), and the tower adopts Craig-Bampton modal reduction.

[0099] Boundary conditions and physical properties mainly include: flow field boundary and material nonlinearity. Among them, the flow field boundary inlet: Coupled input of JONSWAP wave spectrum and Kaimal wind spectrum (turbulence intensity 15%); outlet: Pressure outlet (back pressure = hydrostatic pressure + dynamic wave pressure). Material nonlinearity: The Johnson-Cook model is used to simulate the plastic deformation at the bolt connection, and the strain rate coefficient C = 0.025.

[0100] The solution stage: Integrate the hydrodynamic control equations for all elements within the computational domain, convert the resulting integral equations into algebraic equation systems through a discretization process, and obtain the solutions of the algebraic equations in each element using an appropriate numerical scheme, including:

[0101] Convert the continuity equation into a discrete algebraic equation applying the finite volume method, and discretize the computational domain in space; Divide the computational domain into multiple control volumes, and use multiple discrete time steps to calculate the simulation time.

Discretization scheme: Convection term: Second-order upwind difference (QUICK scheme); Time term: Implicit dual-time stepping method (physical time step Δt = 0.01 s, sub-iteration step uses pseudo-time marching). Data transfer method: Fluid-structure interface: MPCCI realizes two-way force-displacement coupling between Fluent and Adams, and the interpolation algorithm uses radial basis function (RBF). Electromagnetic-thermal coupling: Through ANSYS System Coupling, the loss-temperature fields of Maxwell and Fluent are synchronized, and the update period ≤ 10 fluid steps.

As Figure 3 shown, the control volume cells that make up the grid are connected by faces. An element with a central node P has six neighboring nodes, which are respectively identified as W, E, N, B, T, S, and six neighboring faces;

[0104] The discretization process of the property φ is as follows:

[0106] where t is time, φ is a property that is a velocity / temperature variable, U is velocity, ρ is density, Γ Φ is the diffusion coefficient, S Φ is the source term, Δ is the Laplace operator, is used for vector field analysis to describe the divergence of the field. The term on the left represents the rate of increase of φ, where the convection term represents the net rate of the φ property outside the control volume cell, and the diffusion term on the right represents the rate of increase of φ due to diffusion, as well as the contribution of the source term;

[0107] Through finite volume discretization, by integrating over the control volume and time, the calculation formula is as follows:

[0108]

[0109] where Vp represents the control volume, t represents time, and Δt represents the change in time;

[0110] By applying Gauss's theorem, the spatial integral is converted from a volume integral to a surface integral, and the finite volume discretization equation is solved by considering an appropriate numerical scheme for each specific term;

[0111] The gradient term in the volume integral is converted to a surface integral by Gauss's theorem, and the value of the gradient term is thus approximated to second order by summing the property values on all the faces of the control volume;

[0112] In an orthogonal grid, it is defined as: Among them, d represents a vector, indicating the distance between the center P of the control volume unit of interest and the center N of its adjacent unit, and φ N , φ P represent the attribute values of points N and P respectively;

[0113] For a non-orthogonal network, the diffusion term is divided into two terms, where the second term is the correction for non-orthogonality, and the formula is as follows:

[0114]

[0115] S = Δ + k,

[0116] where the vector Δ represents a vector parallel to the vector k, S represents the area vector outside the control volume unit, φ f represents the attribute value on the surface, f represents, and k represents the adjustment coefficient.

[0117] Step 2: Real-time simulation and verification step: Combine the SCADA system with machine learning algorithms to achieve online calibration and dynamic verification of the multi-physical field model, and predict the structural stability of the wind turbine under extreme conditions such as typhoons and turbulence.

[0118] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the real-time simulation and verification step: Combine the SCADA system with machine learning algorithms to achieve online calibration and dynamic verification of the multi-physical field model, and predict the structural stability of the wind turbine under extreme conditions such as typhoons and turbulence, including:

[0119] Use the SCADA system to collect the operation status data of the offshore wind turbine in real time, including wind speed, wind direction, power output, and environmental parameters;

[0120] Based on the operation status data, achieve online calibration and dynamic verification of the multi-physical field model, predict the structural stability of the wind turbine under extreme conditions such as typhoons and turbulence, and evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the technology.

[0121] In the embodiment of the present application, the real-time simulation and verification step realizes the dynamic calibration of the multi-physical field model and the prediction of the wind turbine stability under extreme working conditions by integrating the real-time data acquisition of the SCADA system and machine learning algorithms.

[0122] The real-time data acquisition of the SCADA system includes: Data source: The SCADA system deployed on the offshore wind turbine collects the following multi-dimensional data in real time: Environmental parameters: wind speed, wind direction, environmental temperature, air pressure, wave height, sea current speed. Unit status: generator speed, power output, pitch angle, yaw angle, tower vibration frequency, bearing temperature. Structural response: blade strain, tower displacement, foundation inclination (supplemented by embedded sensors).

[0123] Data preprocessing: The sliding window algorithm is used to denoise the original data (such as wavelet transform to eliminate high-frequency interference), and the synchronization of multi-source data is ensured through time alignment.

[0124] Online calibration of the multi-physical field model can be assisted by machine learning: Use the LSTM network to predict model parameter deviations (such as aerodynamic damping coefficient, structural stiffness decay), and update the model parameters through online backpropagation. For example: When SCADA detects abnormal vibration, the LSTM outputs a correction coefficient to adjust the material fatigue parameters in FEM. Data assimilation technology: Use the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) to fuse real-time observation data and model output to reduce uncertainty.

[0125] Dynamic verification under extreme conditions mainly includes typhoon / turbulence simulation: Generate extreme wind fields based on the historical typhoon path database (such as JMA data), combine CFD to simulate the turbulent pulsation component, and inject it into the model as a boundary condition. Stability prediction: Short-term prediction (second level): Use a random forest classifier to determine whether the current state triggers a preset threshold (such as tower top displacement > safety limit). Long-term prediction (minute level): Based on the physical model + GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) to predict the structural cumulative damage (such as blade crack propagation rate).

[0126] Verification indicators: Quantitative: The MAE (Mean Absolute Error) between the model output and SCADA data < 5%, and the resonance frequency prediction error < 2%. Qualitative: Display the tower stress nephogram and the failure probability heat map through the digital twin visualization platform.

[0127] Feasibility assessment includes technical feasibility: Measured data shows that online calibration improves the load prediction accuracy of the model under typhoon conditions by 40% (compared with the uncalibrated model). The machine learning algorithm reduces the abnormal detection response time from 30s to 3s. Economic verification: Reduce unplanned downtime through predictive maintenance, and estimate that the annual operation and maintenance cost of a single unit is reduced by 15%.

[0128] Step 3: Optimize the design tool chain steps: Develop a multi-physical field coupling simulation software environment, conduct wake effect analysis, and optimize the layout of the wind turbine array.

[0129] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the steps of optimizing the design tool chain: Develop a multi-physical field coupling simulation software environment, conduct wake effect analysis, and optimize the layout of the wind turbine array, including:

[0130] Based on the ANSYS Workbench tool, develop a multi-physical field coupling simulation software environment to achieve the coupled simulation analysis of the electromagnetic field - temperature field - flow field - structural mechanics field;

[0131] Through simulation, analyze the wake effects under different fan spacings, wind directions, and wind speeds, providing a theoretical basis for fan layout;

[0132] Use the particle swarm optimization algorithm to handle multi-objective optimization problems. Considering factors such as low noise and low cost comprehensively, maximize the power generation.

[0133] In the embodiment of this application, the steps of the optimization design tool chain realize the quantitative analysis of the fan wake effect and the global optimization of the array layout by constructing a multi-physics field coupling simulation environment and an intelligent optimization algorithm. It mainly includes the development of a multi-physics field coupling simulation software environment, wake effect simulation and data analysis, multi-objective optimization of the fan array, verification, and output steps.

[0134] Among them, the platform architecture for the development of the multi-physics field coupling simulation software environment is to build a modular simulation process based on ANSYS Workbench and integrate the following solvers: Flow field analysis: Fluent (RANS equation + turbulence model such as SST k-ω) simulates the wake vortex structure. Structural mechanics: Mechanical APDL calculates the dynamic load of the blade and the tower mode. Temperature field: Steady-state thermal analysis evaluates the influence of the heat generation of the gearbox on the structural deformation. Electromagnetic field: Maxwell simulates the electromagnetic loss of the generator and the coupling with the temperature field. Coupling mechanism: Unidirectional coupling: The flow field pressure distribution is mapped as the structural load (through the System Coupling module). Bidirectional coupling: Iterative solution of the temperature field - electromagnetic field (the convergence condition is set as the residual < 1e-5).

[0135] The wake effect simulation and data analysis include parametric modeling: Define the fan spacing (3D - 10D, D is the impeller diameter), wind direction deviation angle (0° - 45°), and wind speed (cut-in - cut-out wind speed) as input variables. Use DesignXplorer to automatically generate a DOE (design of experiments) matrix, reducing the number of simulation times by 70%. Wake feature extraction: Quantify the velocity deficit rate and the increase in turbulence intensity in the wake area through CFD post-processing. C wake = a·e -b(x / D) , where x is the downstream distance, and a and b are fitting coefficients.

[0136] In the multi-objective optimization of the fan array, the objective function of the optimization model is: Maximize the annual energy production (AEP): where P i is the power of the i-th fan, and V eff is the effective wind speed considering the wake. Minimize noise pollution: where d ij is the fan spacing, and c is the sound attenuation coefficient. Minimize the cable cost: Constraints: Safety distance ≥ 3D (to avoid tower shadow effect), turbulence intensity ≤ 15% (IEC 61400-1 standard). Optimization algorithm: Improved particle swarm optimization (PSO): Adaptive inertia weight: Constraint processing: The penalty function method is used to convert constraint violations into penalty terms in the objective function.

[0137] Verification and output steps: Typhoon conditions: Coupled fluid-structure simulation to verify the layout's ability to resist extreme winds (such as the wake superposition effect causing the blade root bending moment to ↑12%). Turbulent conditions: Compare array efficiency before and after optimization (after optimization, the wake loss dropped from 18% to 9%). Output results: Wind turbine coordinate matrix (GeoJSON format) and yaw strategy configuration file. Cost-energy sensitivity analysis report (Monte Carlo method to assess uncertainty).
