Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wind power generation, and in particular to a method, device, equipment and storage medium for simulating ice coating on wind turbine blades. Background Art
[0002] Icing not only affects power generation efficiency but also causes serious damage to wind turbine equipment and even safety incidents. Icing increases the weight of wind turbine blades, leading to increased mechanical loads on the blades and tower, potentially causing equipment damage. Furthermore, the ice shedding phenomenon caused by icing poses a threat to the surrounding environment and personnel. Icing poses a significant threat to the economic benefits and safety of wind farms, becoming a major constraint on the development of the wind power industry and a research hotspot in recent years. Scientific research on wind turbine blade icing primarily utilizes three methods: numerical simulation, field icing observations, and artificial climate chamber (ice wind tunnel) testing. Artificial climate chamber testing, by simulating icing conditions in the laboratory, allows for precise control of parameters such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed, enabling reproducible and systematic research. It is a key tool in current icing research. Artificial climate chamber testing not only validates numerical simulation results but also provides theoretical support for field observations, thus offering irreplaceable advantages in wind turbine icing research. However, with the continuous growth of wind turbine capacity and blade length, the limited space in artificial climate chambers has long been unable to accommodate full-size wind turbine blades. To conduct icing tests in an artificial climate chamber, blades must be scaled down. However, scaling tests are not simply geometric reductions; to ensure consistent icing characteristics before and after scaling, icing similarity criteria must be adhered to. Currently, research on icing similarity criteria has primarily focused on aircraft icing. Two challenges remain for wind turbine icing. One is that while relatively systematic similarity criteria have been established for aircraft icing, they only apply to linear motion blades, not rotary fans. Another issue is that existing similarity studies have been limited to scales of 1 to 1 / 6, which is insufficient for very large fans.
[0003] In summary, how to conduct icing simulation tests on wind turbines of various sizes in an artificial climate chamber is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0037] In this application, when simulating icing on a wind turbine blade, a full-scale model of a target wind turbine is obtained, and target cross-sectional segments corresponding to the target wind turbine are determined based on the full-scale model. Icing test parameters corresponding to each target cross-sectional segment are determined using a target-scale icing similarity method. Based on the icing test parameters corresponding to each target cross-sectional segment, icing simulation tests are conducted on each target cross-sectional segment in a target wind tunnel to determine the corresponding cross-sectional ice shape. The cross-sectional ice shape of each target cross-sectional segment is resized based on the full-scale model to determine the target cross-sectional ice shape corresponding to each cross-sectional ice shape. All target cross-sectional ice shapes are then connected and laid out to determine the ice shape distribution across the entire blade of the target wind turbine. Thus, this application selects the cross-sectional area to be studied from the full-scale model, appropriately reduces the airfoil at that cross-sectional area (specifically, the airfoil at that cross-sectional area can be accommodated in the target wind tunnel used for the icing test), and then stretches it into segments to obtain the corresponding target cross-sectional segments. These cross-sectional segments are sufficiently long to fully reflect the spanwise motion of the water film on the airfoil surface during rotation during the rotation test. Then, the target scaled icing similarity method is used to determine the icing test parameters corresponding to each target cross-sectional segment, that is, the relevant parameters of the icing test process, so that the icing test is carried out on each target cross-sectional segment in the target wind tunnel based on the icing test parameters corresponding to each target cross-sectional segment to determine the cross-sectional ice type corresponding to each target cross-sectional segment. Finally, all cross-sectional ice types are restored to size based on the full-scale model of the target wind turbine to obtain the target cross-sectional ice type, so that all target cross-sectional ice types are laid out and connected to obtain the ice type distribution of the rotating icing test of the entire blade of the target wind turbine. The present application only scales the cross-sectional chord length and avoids the problem of blade length. The object of scaling is changed from the entire blade to the airfoil section at a certain point of the blade, so that while reducing the rotation radius, there is no need to excessively reduce the airfoil section, and at the same time solves the limitations of the test site size and the accuracy of the scaled test. Moreover, the ice distribution of the entire large blade can be accurately obtained by modeling and restoring the results of multiple small-section icing tests. Compared with the general two-dimensional cross-sectional airfoil test, the device can also simulate the flow of surface water film under rotation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0046] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0047] Currently, research on icing similarity criteria has primarily focused on aircraft icing. Two challenges remain for wind turbine icing: While a relatively systematic similarity criterion has been established for aircraft icing, it only applies to linear airfoils and not to rotary wind turbines. Another challenge is that existing similarity studies are limited to scales of 1 to 1 / 6, which is insufficient for very large wind turbines. To address these technical issues, this application discloses a wind turbine blade icing simulation method capable of conducting icing simulation tests on wind turbines of various sizes in an artificial climate chamber.
[0048] See also Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for simulating ice coating on wind turbine blades, comprising:
[0049] Step S11 : obtaining a full-scale model of a target wind turbine, and determining target cross-sectional segments corresponding to the target wind turbine based on the full-scale model.
[0050] In this embodiment, the wind turbine blades need to capture as much wind energy as possible while taking into account the overall structural strength. Therefore, a large blade length is usually required to increase the swept area, and the transverse section of the blade adopts a lift airfoil with a smaller chord length to meet the aerodynamic performance and lightweight requirements of the blade. If only a certain section of the airfoil is intercepted for testing, the required scaling factor is determined by the chord length and can be controlled within 10 times. Based on the above ideas, this embodiment uses the cross-sectional scaling rotation method to conduct an icing simulation test on the target wind turbine. The cross-sectional scaling rotation method only scales the cross-sectional chord length and avoids the problem of blade length. The object of scaling is changed from the entire blade to the airfoil section at a certain point on the blade, so that while reducing the rotation radius, there is no need to excessively reduce the airfoil section, and at the same time solves the limitations of the test site size and the accuracy of the scaling test.
[0051] In one specific embodiment, a full-scale model of the target wind turbine is first obtained, and then target cross-sectional segments corresponding to the target wind turbine are determined based on the full-scale model. Specifically, the target wind turbine's corresponding cross-sectional areas to be simulated are first determined based on the full-scale model; each cross-sectional area to be simulated is then reduced based on the wind tunnel dimensions of the target wind tunnel to obtain a corresponding reduced cross-sectional area; and finally, each reduced cross-sectional area is stretched based on the rotation radius of the target wind turbine to determine the target cross-sectional segments corresponding to the target wind turbine. In other words, this embodiment selects the cross-sectional area to be studied from the full-scale model, appropriately reduces the airfoil at that cross-sectional area (to the extent that it can fit within the target wind tunnel used for icing tests), and then stretches it into segments. The segment length should be greater than 1 / 4 of the rotation radius, and the cross-sectional segments should be sufficiently long to fully reflect the spanwise motion of the water film on the surface of the airfoil during the rotational motion during the rotational test.
[0052] Step S12: Determine icing test parameters corresponding to each target cross-sectional segment using a target scaled icing similarity method; and conduct an icing simulation test on each target cross-sectional segment in a target wind tunnel based on the icing test parameters corresponding to each target cross-sectional segment to determine the cross-sectional ice type corresponding to each target cross-sectional segment.
[0053] In this embodiment, blades in different regions of the target wind turbine have varying degrees of impact on the aerodynamic characteristics of the target wind turbine. Therefore, intensive sampling is required to identify more target cross-sectional segments in areas with a greater impact on aerodynamic characteristics, such as the blade tip. Fewer cross-sectional sampling is then required in areas with a lesser impact on aerodynamic characteristics, such as the blade root. After determining the target cross-sectional segments of the target wind turbine, the icing test parameters corresponding to each target cross-sectional segment can be determined using the target scaled icing similarity method. Icing test parameters include incoming flow velocity, rotational speed, droplet diameter, liquid water content, test temperature, and icing time. Two scales are used to determine the icing test parameters. The first scale is the cross-sectional chord length scale, which is used to calculate parameters such as droplet diameter, liquid water content, and icing time to ensure that the cross-sectional icing pattern and icing intensity are similar to those of the full-scale model. The second scale is the rotation radius scale, which is used to scale the rotating flow field and droplet motion to ensure that the two-phase flow field at the leading edge of the scaled blade section is identical to that of the full-scale model. It is understandable that wind turbines will face rime and sleet environments during actual operation. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out rime icing simulation tests and sleet icing simulation tests in the target wind tunnel respectively according to the characteristics of the rime and sleet environments.
[0054] In this embodiment, a first-scale icing similarity method is used to determine rime icing test parameters corresponding to each target cross-sectional segment. Based on the rime icing test parameters corresponding to each target cross-sectional segment, a rime icing simulation test is conducted on each target cross-sectional segment in a first target wind tunnel to determine the first cross-sectional ice type corresponding to each target cross-sectional segment. Specifically, determining the rime icing test parameters corresponding to each target cross-sectional segment using the first-scale icing similarity method may include: determining the test pressure, test incoming flow velocity, test temperature, and test liquid water content based on the full-scale model; matching the incoming flow direction factors before and after scaling based on the test incoming flow velocity and the rotation radius scaling to determine the test rotation angular velocity; determining the droplet median diameter based on the cross-sectional chord length scaling and the corrected inertia parameter; and determining the rime icing time based on the cross-sectional chord length scaling and the test liquid water content.
[0055] In other words, the scaled-down test parameters under rime conditions can be determined by the following steps:
[0056] 1) Select the test pressure , test flow velocity , test temperature and test liquid water content In the case of rime, 、 、 as well as All should be consistent with the full-size model.
[0057] 2) Calculate the test rotation angular velocity After the test flow velocity is selected, the rotating radius is scaled As the calculation scaling, by matching the flow direction factor before and after the scaling, the test rotating angular velocity can be obtained , and the calculation formula is as shown in the following formula:
[0058] ;
[0059] Wherein the subscript m represents the scaled parameter, and f represents the full-size parameter.
[0060] 3) Calculate the test droplet diameter. The corrected inertia parameter before and after the scaling is equal Method is used to select the median diameter of the droplet , wherein the scaling of the chord length of the section , is the rotating radius:
[0061] ;
[0062] For the icing condition of the fan, 0.39 is more appropriate, then:
[0063] .
[0064] 4) Calculate the test icing time. After the liquid water content αm of the scaling test is determined, the aggregation factor is limited, and The scaled icing time is obtained, wherein the scaling of the chord length of the section :
[0065] .
[0066] In this embodiment, the second scaling icing similarity method is used to determine the test parameters of the glaze icing corresponding to each target section, and the glaze icing simulation test of each target section is carried out in the second target wind tunnel based on the test parameters of the glaze icing corresponding to each target section, so as to determine the second section ice type corresponding to each target section. The second scaling icing similarity method is used to determine the test parameters of the glaze icing corresponding to each target section, including: determining the test pressure based on the full-size model; determining the test flow velocity and the test rotating angular velocity based on the rotating radius scaling, the flow velocity direction factor and the resultant velocity; determining the test temperature based on the chord length scaling of the section, the freezing rate and the relative thermal factor; determining the test supercooled water droplet diameter based on the chord length scaling of the section and the corrected inertia parameter; determining the test liquid water content based on the chord length scaling of the section and the relative thermal factor; and determining the glaze icing time based on the chord length scaling of the section, the test liquid water content and the aggregation factor.
[0067] In other words, the process for determining the test parameters for rime conditions is as follows:
[0068] 1) Select the test pressure ; Test pressure This is an optional setting and is usually kept consistent with the full-scale model at 1 atmosphere.
[0069] 2) Calculate the test flow velocity and test rotation speed ; By matching the incoming flow velocity direction factor Equal and combined speed If they are equal, we can solve the scaled angular velocity of rotation and incoming flow velocity , where the reduction ratio is the rotation radius reduction ratio :
[0070] .
[0071] 3) Calculate the test temperature ; By ensuring the freeze rate before and after scaling Equal to select the scaled test temperature , and ensure the relative thermal factor before and after scaling If they are equal, the scaled test temperature can be obtained The calculation formula is as follows, where the reduction ratio is the cross-section chord length reduction ratio .
[0072] .
[0073] 4) Calculate the diameter of the supercooled water droplet The calculation method is the same as that under rime conditions, using the inertia parameters corrected before and after scaling Matching method pairs Calculation is performed and the reduction ratio is the cross-section chord length reduction ratio. :
[0074] .
[0075] 5) Calculate the test liquid water content ; By ensuring the relative thermal factors before and after scaling Equal, we can get The calculation formula is: the reduction ratio is the cross-section chord length reduction ratio .
[0076] .
[0077] 6) Calculate the ice cover time after scaling; calculate the liquid water content of the scaling test After that, the scaled test icing time can be obtained by making the aggregation factor equal before and after scaling. The reduction ratio is still the cross-section chord length reduction ratio. .
[0078] .
[0079] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown in , after determining the icing parameters corresponding to each target cross-section, an icing simulation test can be conducted on each target cross-section in a target wind tunnel based on the icing test parameters corresponding to each target cross-section to determine the cross-sectional ice type corresponding to each target cross-section. Figure 3 The diagram below shows a schematic diagram of a cross-section rotation method icing simulation test. During the icing simulation test, a rotating device consisting of a rotating motor, three identical test airfoil stretch sections (also known as the target cross-section), and a support device is used to simulate icing on the target cross-section in a target wind tunnel. The rotating device comprises three rotating airfoil stretch sections. This design facilitates rotational balance, minimizing the impact of main body vibration on the test ice pattern. Furthermore, the ice patterns of the three sets of airfoil stretch sections can be compared to eliminate confounding factors, ensuring more accurate test results. After the test, to ensure that the ice pattern is not affected by spanwise turbulence, only the ice pattern of the center section of the test section is captured and compared with the ice patterns of the middle sections of the three airfoil stretch sections. If the ice patterns differ significantly, the test fails and requires retesting. If the cross-sectional ice patterns are substantially similar, the cross-sectional ice pattern corresponding to the target cross-section is considered to have been obtained.
[0080] Step S13: based on the full-scale model, the cross-sectional ice shape of each target cross-sectional segment is restored to size to determine the target cross-sectional ice shape corresponding to each cross-sectional ice shape, and all the target cross-sectional ice shapes are connected to determine the full-blade ice shape distribution of the target wind turbine.
[0081] In this embodiment, after obtaining the cross-sectional ice types corresponding to all target cross-sectional segments, the cross-sectional ice types of each target cross-sectional segment are restored to size based on the full-scale model to determine the target cross-sectional ice types corresponding to each cross-sectional ice type, and then all target cross-sectional ice types are arranged in sequence and connected by layout, thereby obtaining the full-blade ice type distribution of the target wind turbine. It can be understood that the icing simulation test is divided into a rime icing simulation test and a rime icing simulation test. Accordingly, the full-blade ice type distribution of the target wind turbine also includes the full-blade ice type distribution under a rime environment and the full-blade ice type distribution under a rime environment. Figure 4 (a) is a schematic diagram of the ice type distribution of the full blade at the 0.95R section of the full-scale model obtained under rime conditions, as shown in Figure 4(b) is a schematic diagram of the full-leaf ice shape distribution of the 1 / 2 scaled 0.95R section obtained under the fog icing environment, the section chord length is scaled by 1 / 2, and the rotating radius is scaled by 1 / 29. As can be seen from the figure, the full-leaf ice shape distribution of the large blade can also be accurately obtained by modeling and restoring using the results of multiple small-section icing tests. Compared with the general two-dimensional section airfoil test, the device can also simulate the flow of the surface water film under the rotating state. Figure 5 (a) is a schematic diagram of the full-leaf ice shape distribution of the full-size model 0.95R section obtained under the rain icing environment, as shown in the figure. Figure 5 (b) is a schematic diagram of the full-leaf ice shape distribution of the 1 / 2 scaled 0.95R section obtained under the fog icing environment, the section chord length is scaled by 1 / 2, and the rotating radius is scaled by 1 / 29. As can be seen from the figure, the full-leaf ice shape distribution of the large blade can also be accurately obtained by modeling and restoring using the results of multiple small-section icing tests. Compared with the general two-dimensional section airfoil test, the device can also simulate the flow of the surface water film under the rotating state.
[0082] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 2 , if the number of target wind tunnels is small (for example, only 1), one target section of the target wind turbine can be determined each time, and icing simulation is performed on the target section, until all target sections of the target wind turbine are completed. Icing simulation is performed on the obtained section ice shape, and size restoration and lofting connection are performed to obtain the full-leaf ice shape distribution of the target wind turbine. If the number of target wind tunnels is sufficient, all target sections can be simultaneously subjected to icing simulation tests, thereby quickly determining the full-leaf ice shape distribution of the target wind turbine. The specific icing simulation test process can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0083] As can be seen, the present application selects the section of the full-size model to be studied, appropriately scales the section airfoil (specifically, the target wind tunnel used for the icing test can be used as a standard) and stretches the section to obtain corresponding target sections. A long enough section can fully reflect the spanwise motion of the water film on the airfoil surface during the rotating motion. Then, the target scaling icing similarity method is used to determine the icing test parameters of each target section, that is, the related parameters of the icing test process, so as to perform icing tests on each target section in the target wind tunnel based on the icing test parameters of each target section, to determine the section ice shape corresponding to each target section. Finally, the target section ice shape is obtained by performing size restoration on all section ice shapes based on the full-size model of the target wind turbine, and lofting connection is performed on all target section ice shapes, thereby obtaining the ice shape distribution of the full-leaf rotating icing experiment of the target wind turbine. The present application only scales the section chord length and avoids the problem of blade length, and the scaling object is changed from the full-leaf blade to the airfoil section at a certain position of the blade, so that the rotating radius is reduced without excessively scaling the airfoil section, and the limitations of the test site size and the scaling test precision are solved. Moreover, the full-leaf icing distribution of the large blade can also be accurately obtained by modeling and restoring using the results of multiple small-section icing tests. Compared with the general two-dimensional section airfoil test, the device can also simulate the flow of the surface water film under the rotating state.
[0084] See also Figure 6 As shown, the present application discloses a wind turbine blade icing simulation device, comprising:
[0085] A cross-sectional segment determination module 11 is configured to obtain a full-scale model of a target wind turbine and determine target cross-sectional segments corresponding to the target wind turbine based on the full-scale model;
[0086] a cross-sectional ice type determination module 12, configured to determine icing test parameters corresponding to each target cross-sectional segment using a target scaled icing similarity method, and perform an icing simulation test on each target cross-sectional segment in a target wind tunnel based on the icing test parameters corresponding to each target cross-sectional segment, so as to determine the cross-sectional ice type corresponding to each target cross-sectional segment;
[0087] The ice type distribution determination module 13 is used to restore the cross-sectional ice type of each target cross-sectional segment based on the full-scale model to determine the target cross-sectional ice type corresponding to each cross-sectional ice type, and to connect all the target cross-sectional ice types to determine the full-blade ice type distribution of the target wind turbine.
[0088] As can be seen, this application selects the cross-section to be studied in the full-scale model, appropriately reduces the airfoil profile at that cross-section (specifically, the airfoil profile can be accommodated in the target wind tunnel used for the icing test as a standard), and then stretches it into segments to obtain corresponding target cross-section segments. The sufficiently long cross-section segments can fully reflect the spanwise motion of the water film on the surface of the airfoil profile during the rotational motion during the rotational test. The target scaled icing similarity method is then used to determine the icing test parameters corresponding to each target cross-section segment, i.e., the relevant parameters of the icing test process. Based on the icing test parameters corresponding to each target cross-section segment, an icing test is then conducted on each target cross-section segment in the target wind tunnel to determine the cross-sectional ice type corresponding to each target cross-sectional segment. Finally, based on the full-scale model of the target wind turbine, all cross-sectional ice types are restored to their original size to obtain the target cross-sectional ice type. All target cross-sectional ice types are then laid out and connected to obtain the ice type distribution for the rotating icing test of the entire blade of the target wind turbine. This application scales down only the cross-sectional chord length, avoiding the issue of blade length. The scaling target shifts from the entire blade to the airfoil section at a specific location on the blade. This reduces the radius of rotation without significantly reducing the airfoil section, simultaneously addressing limitations in test site size and scaling test accuracy. Furthermore, modeling and restoring the results of multiple small-section icing tests can accurately determine the ice distribution of the entire large blade. Compared to conventional two-dimensional airfoil tests, this device can also simulate the flow of water films on rotating surfaces.
[0089] In a specific implementation, the cross-section determination module 11 may specifically include:
[0090] The to-be-simulated face determining submodule is configured to determine each to-be-simulated cross section corresponding to the target wind turbine based on the full-size model.
