Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of wind power grounding configuration, and in particular relates to a configuration device and method suitable for wind power grounding in complex mountainous areas. Background Art

[0002] With the widespread adoption of renewable energy, wind power generation, as a key clean energy source, is gradually expanding into complex mountainous terrain. The complex geographical and climatic conditions in these mountainous regions present unique challenges for the installation and operation of wind turbines, particularly in the design and implementation of grounding systems. Due to the harsh geological conditions in mountainous areas, the surface soil is thin, loose, and low in moisture, while the inner layer is mostly composed of hard, fractured rock. This results in high grounding resistance, making implementation difficult.

[0003] A Chinese patent application CN117013325A discloses a configuration method suitable for wind power grounding in complex mountainous areas. The key points of its technical solution are: dividing the project grounding resistivity, selecting different materials for different grounding resistivities, forming a standardized material library and a standardized capital collection list; formulating a standardized configuration calculation process, testing the thermal stability of the selected grounding bodies and grounding wires, determining the material and cross-sectional area of ​​the neutral conductor, and verifying the capacity of the protection equipment to make the grounding configuration more accurate.

[0004] However, when the wind power grounding device in the existing technology is in use, due to the complex and changeable geological characteristics and soil environment in mountainous areas, the soil conditions where the grounding electrode is located after construction may change due to geological movements, biological activities or humidity. As a result, gaps and cracks are likely to appear between the electrode and the rock and soil, resulting in uneven contact, which leads to an abnormal increase in soil resistivity. Lightning strikes or fault currents cannot be effectively discharged, which may cause malfunction of the wind turbine control system and unit shutdown at the least, and damage precision equipment such as the converter at worst. Secondly, the uneven soil structure is prone to form a potential gradient, which may produce dangerous step voltages and threaten the safety of inspection personnel. In addition, high-impedance grounding will aggravate the potential difference between the tower and the line, accelerate the electrochemical corrosion of metal components, and shorten the life of equipment.

[0005] To this end, the present invention provides a configuration device and method suitable for wind power grounding in complex mountainous areas. Summary of the Invention

The probability of gaps and cracks appearing between the resistance-reducing material and the electrode column is small, and it can maintain an efficient and fitting contact state with the electrode column for a long time, thereby extending the service life of the grounding device. In addition, the resistance-reducing material can also play a role in water retention and slow release, absorbing moisture from the surrounding soil through capillary action, using moisture to increase the effective diffusion cross-section between the resistance-reducing material and the electrode column, dissolving the salt in the soil, forming an electrolyte solution, and increasing the ionic conductivity inside the resistance-reducing material.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present invention is a configuration device suitable for complex mountain wind power grounding, comprising an inner ring grounding grid 1, an outer ring grounding grid 2 and a vertical grounding electrode assembly;

[0042] The inner ring grounding grid 1 and the outer ring grounding grid 2 are both concentrically arranged around the wind turbine tower; the vertical grounding electrode assemblies are distributed on the surface of the inner ring grounding grid 1 and the outer ring grounding grid 2; conductive strips 3 are provided between adjacent vertical grounding electrode assemblies of the inner ring grounding grid 1 and the outer ring grounding grid 2;

[0043] The vertical grounding electrode assembly is used to introduce the current of the wind power tower into the ground; the vertical grounding electrode assembly includes a welding seat 4, an electrode column 5 and a support cover 6;

[0044] The welding seat 4 is used for welding with the inner ring grounding grid 1, the outer ring grounding grid 2 and the conductive strip 3; the electrode column 5 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the welding seat 4; a support cover 6 is provided on the outside of the electrode column 5, and the support cover 6 is a mesh design; the space between the support cover 6 and the electrode column 5 is filled with resistance reducing material.

[0045] When the wind power grounding device in the existing technology is in use, due to the complex and changeable geological characteristics and soil environment of mountainous areas, the soil conditions where the grounding electrode is located after construction may change due to geological movements, biological activities or humidity. As a result, gaps and cracks are likely to appear between the electrode and the rock and soil, resulting in uneven contact, causing an abnormal increase in soil resistivity. Lightning strikes or fault currents cannot be effectively discharged, which may cause malfunction of the wind turbine control system and unit shutdown at the least, and damage precision equipment such as the converter at worst. Secondly, the uneven soil structure is prone to form a potential gradient, which may produce dangerous step voltages and threaten the safety of inspection personnel. In addition, high-impedance grounding will aggravate the potential difference between the tower and the line, accelerate the electrochemical corrosion of metal components, and shorten the life of equipment.

[0046] The present invention provides an inner ring grounding grid 1, an outer ring grounding grid 2, and an array of vertical grounding electrode assemblies to quickly conduct tower current into the earth. Conductive strips 3 are provided between adjacent vertical grounding electrode assemblies to balance voltage and improve grounding uniformity. A support cover 6 is provided to support the hole wall during construction to prevent collapse. After the electrode column 5 is installed, a resistance-reducing material is filled into the annular gap between the electrode column 5 and the support cover 6. The resistance-reducing material can pass through the mesh of the support cover 6 and smoothly contact the surrounding soil. The use of the resistance-reducing material not only significantly reduces the grounding resistance, but also is less affected by geological movement, biological activity, or humidity changes after construction. The probability of gaps and cracks between the resistance-reducing material and the electrode column 5 is small, and it can maintain an efficient, close contact state with the electrode column 5 for a long time, extending the service life of the grounding device. In addition, the resistance-reducing material can also retain water and release it slowly. It absorbs moisture from the surrounding soil through capillary action, uses the moisture to increase the effective diffusion cross-section between the resistance-reducing material and the electrode column 5, dissolves salt in the soil, forms an electrolyte solution, and increases the ionic conductivity within the resistance-reducing material.

[0047] It is worth noting that during drilling construction, the drilling depth should be increased as much as possible. The electrode column 5 uses a deep and long vertical grounding electrode, which passes through the surface soil and the middle rock to improve the fixing effect and grounding effect of the support cover 6 and the electrode column 5.

[0048] The above-mentioned resistance-reducing materials can be a single type or a combination of bentonite, conductive mica powder, flake graphite, zeolite particles, etc. For complex mountainous areas, the recommended resistance-reducing material formula of the present invention is: 50% sodium bentonite, 2% graphene oxide, 15% acrylic acid-acrylamide copolymer, 5% rare earth molybdate, and 28% foamed ceramsite.

[0049] As another embodiment of the present invention, a group of annular tubes 7 are evenly distributed on the inner side of the support cover 6; adjacent annular tubes 7 are connected to each other through a group of connecting tubes 8; a group of water outlets 9 are evenly distributed on the inner side of the annular tubes 7; a group of water reservoirs 10 are evenly distributed on the outer side of the outer ring grounding grid 2; a water diversion pipe 11 is connected between the water reservoir 10 and a circular tube 7 at the top; the surface of the electrode column 5 is coated with a conductive anti-corrosion coating.

[0050] When it rains, on the one hand, rainwater can penetrate the soil and enter the resistance reduction material, and on the other hand, rainwater gathers in the water reservoir 10. After the rain stops, the water in the water reservoir 10 can enter the annular tube 7 inside the support cover 6 through the water diversion pipe 11, and flow down to multiple annular tubes 7 along the connecting pipe 8, and finally flow evenly in a multi-point manner through the water outlet 9 on the inside of the annular tube 7 to the inside of the resistance reduction material between the support cover 6 and the electrode column 5, thereby replenishing moisture for the resistance reduction material, keeping the material moist, and further continuously improving the conductive efficiency of the grounding device.

[0051] The water diversion pipe 11 is provided with a solenoid valve 12 ; the surface of the electrode column 5 is provided with a humidity sensor 13 ; the humidity sensor 13 is connected to the solenoid valve 12 via a PLC control system.

[0052] The area around the electrode column 5 is monitored in real time through the humidity sensor 13. If the moisture content in the area drops to a certain threshold, the solenoid valve 12 is opened for a period of time through the PLC control system. At this time, the rainwater in the water reservoir 10 can enter the resistance reduction material through the water pipe 11, realizing the function of intelligent water replenishment, which not only ensures that the moisture content inside the resistance reduction material is not too high, but also saves the water consumption of the water reservoir 10, so that the water replenishment can be planned and carried out for a long time.

[0053] As another embodiment of the present invention, a fixing plate 14 and a sealing block 15 are provided inside the water outlet 9, and the fixing plate 14 is a mesh design; a connecting block 16 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sealing block 15; a driving member 17 is fixedly connected between the connecting block 16 and the fixing plate 14; the driving member 17 is made of a water-absorbing and expanding material, which can be a water-absorbing resin, a polymer hydrogel, a shape memory polymer, etc.

[0054] Under normal circumstances, the sealing block 15 can seal the inside of the water outlet 9, and the resistance reduction material and water will not enter the annular tube 7 through the water outlet 9 during the construction process, preventing the water outlet 9 or the annular tube 7 from being blocked. After the construction is completed, the resistance reduction material gradually forms a stable structure. Thereafter, any time the water in the water reservoir 10 enters the annular tube 7, the water contacts the driving member 17, prompting the driving member 17 to absorb water and expand quickly, and push the connecting block 16 and the sealing block 15 to slide outward, thereby realizing the automatic opening of the water outlet 9. The water flow inside the annular tube 7 can be smoothly discharged into the resistance reduction material through the water outlet 9. In addition, the sealing block 15 can press and pull the nearby resistance reduction material during the outward movement, thereby improving the porosity and density of the nearby resistance reduction material, and ensuring that the subsequent water flow can smoothly pass through this place and diffuse into the surrounding resistance reduction material.

[0055] A pair of slide rails 18 are provided on the inner wall surface of the water outlet 9; a block 19 is slidably connected inside the slide rail 18, and the block 19 is attached to the surface of the connecting block 16; a spring is fixedly connected between the block 19 and the slide rail 18; a pair of slots 20 are opened on the surface of the connecting block 16.

[0056] By setting the clamping block 19, on the one hand, the connecting block 16 and the sealing block 15 are limited so that they move outward in a predetermined direction. On the other hand, in the process of the sealing block 15 extending outward, the end of the clamping block 19 slides on the surface of the connecting block 16, and finally the clamping block 19 enters the inside of the clamping groove 20 under the pushing action of the spring, thereby locking the connecting block 16 and the sealing block 15, so that the water outlet 9 always remains in an open state, preventing the subsequent driving member 17 from gradually shrinking and recovering after drying, and then pulling the sealing block 15 back to the inside of the water outlet 9 and causing the water outlet 9 to close again. Even if the driving member 17 dries and shrinks, it may absorb water and expand again, but after long-term and multiple cycles of deformation, it is difficult to achieve the initial ideal effect. Therefore, locking the connecting block 16 and the sealing block 15 can avoid the above problems.

[0057] As another embodiment of the present invention, a mounting plate 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the water reservoir 10; a water collection trough 22 is defined in the middle of the mounting plate 21; and a filter 23 is fixedly connected to the inside of the water collection trough 22. The filter 23 intercepts debris in rainwater, preventing it from entering the water reservoir 10 and causing blockage.

[0058] As another embodiment of the present invention, a pair of storage rollers 24 are rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting plate 21 on both sides; a coil spring is provided between the storage rollers 24 and the mounting plate 21; a waterproof cloth 25 is wound between the pair of storage rollers 24, and the waterproof cloth 25 is attached to the lower side of the water collecting tank 22.

[0059] During the water collection process, rainwater first enters the water collection tank 22 through the filter screen 23 and accumulates on the surface of the waterproof cloth 25. As the rainwater gradually gathers, the gravity becomes greater and greater, causing the waterproof cloth 25 to sag and bend downward, and pulling the storage roller 24 to rotate to roll up the waterproof cloth 25. At this time, a gap appears between the waterproof cloth 25 and the water collection tank 22, and the water above the waterproof cloth 25 can smoothly enter the water reservoir 10 along the gap to achieve rainwater collection. When the rain stops, no more rainwater enters the water collection tank 22 and applies gravity to the waterproof cloth 25. The coil spring drives the storage roller 24 to reverse and rewind the waterproof cloth 25, so that the waterproof cloth 25 is re-attached to the lower side of the water collection tank 22, thereby sealing the water collection tank 22 to prevent external airflow, exposure, and high temperature environment from causing a large amount of water in the water collection tank 22 to evaporate and dissipate, thereby increasing the storage time of rainwater and extending the water replenishment period as much as possible.

[0060] The mounting plate 21 is fixedly connected to a guide block 26 at a position corresponding to the storage roller 24; a guide groove 27 is opened inside the guide block 26, and the waterproof cloth 25 passes through the guide groove 27; a group of elastic tooth blocks 28 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the guide groove 27; a group of elastic tooth blocks 29 are evenly distributed on the lower side of the waterproof cloth 25 at a position corresponding to the guide block 26.

[0061] During the process of rolling up or unrolling the waterproof cloth 25 from the surface of the storage roller 24, the waterproof cloth 25 will move in and out of the guide groove 27, and then the elastic tooth block 1 28 and the elastic tooth block 2 29 will squeeze and rub against each other, causing the movement process of the waterproof cloth 25 to have a stuttering and shaking effect, thereby shaking and separating the fine soil impurities remaining on the upper surface of the waterproof cloth 25, causing them to fall with the flow of rainwater. On the one hand, after the waterproof cloth 25 is fitted with the water collection tank 22, it can avoid the presence of impurities between the waterproof cloth 25 and the mounting plate 21, which affects the sealing performance and further reduces the leakage of water vapor to the outside. On the other hand, it can alleviate the problem of stress concentration, shrinkage deformation, physical wear and other phenomena caused by the drying process of cement and soil impurities on the surface of the waterproof cloth 25, thereby extending the service life of the waterproof cloth 25.

[0062] like Figure 9 As shown, the present invention provides a configuration method for wind power grounding in complex mountainous areas. The method uses the above-mentioned configuration device for wind power grounding in complex mountainous areas and includes the following steps:

[0063] S1. Dig up the surface soil around the wind turbine and build a water reservoir 10 10 meters away from the turbine. The water reservoir 10 is treated to prevent water seepage.

[0064] S2. Drill multiple mounting holes using drilling equipment, place the support cover 6 and the electrode column 5 into the mounting holes in sequence, and lay the water diversion pipe 11 between the water reservoir 10 and the annular pipe 7 of the support cover 6;

[0065] S3, mixing the resistance-reducing material with water and pouring it into the annular gap between the support cover 6 and the electrode column 5, adopting layered pouring and vibrating to compact it;

[0066] S4. After the resistance reduction material structure is stable, the welding seat 4 is welded to the inner ring grounding grid 1, the outer ring grounding grid 2, and the conductive strip 3 respectively by exothermic welding, and the surface soil is backfilled;

[0067] S5. The area around the electrode column 5 is monitored in real time by the humidity sensor 13. If the moisture content drops to a trigger threshold, the solenoid valve 12 is opened by the PLC control system, and rainwater in the water reservoir 10 enters the annular pipe 7 through the water diversion pipe 11.

[0068] S6: The driving member 17 in the water outlet 9 absorbs water and expands when in contact with water, pushing the connecting block 16 and the sealing block 15 to move outward, thereby automatically opening the water outlet 9;

[0069] S7. The water in the annular tube 7 enters the resistance reducing material through the water outlet 9 and diffuses to the surroundings, replenishing moisture for the resistance reducing material, maintaining a moist state, and ensuring good conductive properties.

[0070] The above-mentioned front, back, left, right, up and down are all based on the Figure 1 As a benchmark, according to the person's observation perspective, the side of the device facing the observer is defined as the front, the left side of the observer is defined as the left, and so on.
