Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of wind power generation technology, in particular to a generator control method and system based on biomimetic vortex regulation and magnetic variable pitch. BACKGROUND

[0002] The vortex control of the existing vertical axis wind turbine mainly has the following technical bottlenecks: (1) Passive control limitations. When using fixed vortex generators, their geometric parameters (such as height and installation angle) cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the working conditions, resulting in insufficient vortex intensity at low wind speeds and possible flow separation at high wind speeds. When the direction of the incoming flow changes suddenly or the turbulence intensity increases, static vortex generators can exacerbate the dynamic stall phenomenon on the blade surface, causing a sudden drop in aerodynamic performance.

[0003] (2) Active control defects. Jet-type active control requires additional energy input, and the net output efficiency of the system is significantly reduced. The aerodynamic actuator has a response delay, making it difficult to match the unique periodic angle of attack changes of the vertical axis wind turbine.

[0004] The main technical shortcomings of the existing variable pitch system are: (1) Mechanical transmission defects. The variable pitch system relying on gearboxes or link mechanisms has transmission gaps, resulting in a 0.5-1° positioning error in pitch angle adjustment. In the case of frequent pitch changes, mechanical wear causes continuous degradation of precision, which requires regular calibration and maintenance.

[0005] (2) Insufficient dynamic performance. The step response time of traditional electric / hydraulic drive systems generally exceeds 500ms, which cannot effectively suppress the instantaneous load impact caused by gusts. There is a phase difference between the variable pitch action and the real-time flow field state, resulting in aerodynamic regulation lag. SUMMARY

[0024] In an embodiment of the present application, the variable geometry vortex generator adopts a micro-wing piece array driven by a shape memory alloy wire and a piezoelectric ceramic, wherein each wing piece includes: a base layer, the base layer is a flexible polyimide film. Used for insulation and support; a driving layer, which is an SMA wire helical winding or a piezoelectric ceramic sheet, independently controlled by embedded circuit; a vortex generator layer, which is a micro-asymmetric airfoil, with a ceramic coating sprayed on the surface.

[0025] In an embodiment of the present application, further comprising: obtaining jet intensity according to the wind speed and the pressure distribution of the blade surface; fine-tuning the jet intensity to eliminate steady-state error; and controlling the jet according to the fine-tuned jet intensity.

[0026] In an embodiment of the present application, the bionic self-adaptive deformation structure comprises: a flexible skin made of silicone rubber-carbon fiber composite material to simulate the flexible connection structure of bird feathers; a micro-actuator made of shape memory polymer strips and electric heating wires embedded in the interior of the strips; and a sensor network using an optical fiber grating sensor array to monitor the strain of the flexible skin in real time.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present application, the magnetostrictive variable pitch system uses an alloy rod as an actuator, the magnetostrictive coefficient of the actuator is 1500ppm, the energy density is 12 kilojoules per cubic meter, the surface of the alloy rod is plated with nickel-phosphorus alloy to prevent oxidation, and the two ends of the alloy rod are connected to the variable pitch arm through threads.

[0028] In an embodiment of the present application, in the low wind speed starting mode, when the wind speed reaches the cut-in wind speed, the pitch angle is adjusted to -5°, and the vortex generator is started to vibrate at a frequency of 150Hz to generate periodic vortex on the surface of the blade.

[0029] In an embodiment of the present application, in the rated wind speed optimization mode, a double-layer control strategy is adopted, and when the wind speed is stable at the third predetermined wind speed, the pitch angle is increased through iterative optimization.

[0030] In an embodiment of the present application, in the high wind speed / turbulence protection mode, the pitch angle is first quickly adjusted to 15°, and the blade root damper is activated at the same time, when the vibration sensor detects that the 3P frequency vibration energy exceeds the threshold value, a high-frequency buffeting signal is output, the aerodynamic resonance is destroyed by active disturbance, and if the turbulence intensity continues to exceed the standard for a certain period of time, the extreme working condition protection is entered.

[0031] Specifically, the variable geometry vortex generator (VG-VGs) realizes the principle: a micro-wing array driven by shape memory alloy (SMA) wire and piezoelectric ceramic is excited by electric heating or electric field to realize millimeter-level deformation. Each wing is composed of three layers: a base layer: flexible polyimide film (thickness 0.1mm) for insulation and support; Driving layer: SMA wire helically wound (diameter 0.05 mm) or piezoelectric ceramic sheet (size 2 x 2 x 0.5 cubic millimeter), independently controlled by embedded circuit; Vortex generation layer: micro-asymmetric airfoil (NACA 0012 modified, chord length 5 mm), surface sprayed with wear-resistant ceramic coating.

[0032] Dynamic adjustment process: low wind speed condition (<5 m / s): the control system triggers the SMA heating circuit through the wind speed sensor (current 500 mA, duration 2 s); the SMA wire contracts and pulls the root of the wing, making the wing height linearly increase from 0.5 mm to 2 mm (adjustment time <3 s); the increased wing induces a horseshoe vortex on the blade surface, enhancing the boundary layer energy and suppressing flow separation.

[0033] High wind speed condition (>15 m / s): piezoelectric ceramic sheet applies a reverse electric field (voltage 100 V, frequency 1 kHz); the inverse piezoelectric effect makes the wing height quickly decrease from 2 mm to 0.3 mm (response time <0.1 s); the reduced wing height reduces vortex energy dissipation, avoiding excessive turbulence leading to a surge in resistance.

[0034] Complementary driving of SMA and piezoelectric ceramic (SMA is responsible for large stroke and low frequency adjustment, piezoelectric ceramic is responsible for micro-displacement and high frequency correction); the wing array adopts a Fibonacci spiral layout, covering 30% of the chord length area of the blade leading edge, optimizing vortex generation uniformity.

[0035] Active jet-vortex composite regulation, which consists of: Micro-pore array: laser drilling (diameter 0.2 mm, hole spacing 5 mm, inclination angle 15°) at 5% of the chord length of the blade leading edge; Air pump module: integrated micro-vortex compressor (size Φ30 x 50 mm, mass 120 g) and gas tank (volume 10 ml, pressure 0.3 MPa); Control unit: embedded controller based on ARM Cortex-M7, running PID-fuzzy hybrid algorithm.

[0036] Jet flow regulation process: Real-time flow field data are obtained by a blade surface pressure sensor (range ±5 kPa, resolution 0.1 Pa) and a hot-wire anemometer (sampling frequency 1 kHz); fuzzy inference layer, input: wind speed (normalized to 0-1), angle of attack (error ±2°), pressure gradient (Δp / Δx); output: jet intensity (duty cycle 0%-100%), jet frequency (0-100 Hz); rule base example: IF wind speed > 12 m / s AND angle of attack > 15° THEN jet intensity = 80% AND frequency = 50 Hz. PID correction layer, fine-tune the fuzzy output to eliminate steady-state error (proportional coefficient Kp = 0.8, integral time Ti = 0.5 s, derivative time Td = 0.1 s); actuator, a high-speed electromagnetic valve (response time 1 ms) adjusts the jet pulse width according to the control signal, with a single jet duration of 0.1-10 ms adjustable.

[0037] Energy efficiency optimization: The air pump adopts an intermittent working mode (duty cycle <30%), with an average power consumption of only 15 W (0.3% of the rated power generation); the jet energy injection position is optimized by CFD to ensure that the transition is triggered at a distance of 5 mm before the separation point, reducing the turbulent flow generation loss.

[0038] Bionic self-adaptive deformation structure, its bionic design includes: Flexible skin: Silicon rubber-carbon fiber composite material (thickness 0.8 mm, elastic modulus 10 MPa) is used to simulate the flexible connection structure of bird feathers; Micro actuator: Shape memory polymer (SMP) strip (size 10×2×0.3 cubic millimeter), glass transition temperature Tg = 40°C; an electric heating wire (nickel-chromium alloy, diameter 0.02 mm) is embedded in the SMP, which generates Joule heat (power 2 W / square centimeter) after being electrified; Sensor network: Fiber Bragg grating sensor (FBG) array (spacing 10 mm) real-time monitors skin strain (resolution 1 με).

[0039] Deformation regulation process: Flow field perception, FBG sensors detect abnormal blade surface pressure distribution (such as local adverse pressure gradient > 50 Pa / m); actuator activation, the control system locates the deformation area and applies a pulse current (voltage 12 V, duration 0.5 s) to the corresponding SMP strip; shape memory effect, after the SMP softens, the skin naturally bends under the action of aerodynamic force, with a curvature radius reduced from 500 mm to 200 mm; flow field optimization, the deformed skin guides the airflow to reattach, reducing the separation area by 40%.

[0040] Dynamic response characteristics: single deformation cycle <2s (heating 0.5s + cooling 1.5s); deformation life >10^6 times (verified by accelerated fatigue test); skin surface sprayed with super-hydrophobic coating (contact angle >150°), reducing the impact of rain erosion.

[0041] Magnetostrictive variable pitch system, the magnetostrictive variable pitch actuator uses a Terfenol-D (Tb- Dy-Fe) alloy rod with a diameter of 20 mm and a length of 200 mm as the core actuator. Its magnetostrictive coefficient λ = 1500 ppm (when the saturation magnetic field is 200 mT), and the energy density reaches 12 kilojoules per cubic meter, which is more than 10 times that of traditional piezoelectric ceramics. The alloy rod surface is plated with nickel-phosphorus alloy (thickness 5 μm) to prevent oxidation, and the two ends are connected to the variable pitch arm through threads.

[0042] Magnetic field generation and control: excitation coil, double-layer solenoid structure (inner diameter 22 mm, outer diameter 40 mm, height 210 mm), 0.5 mm enameled copper wire is wound for 2000 turns, maximum excitation current 5A (corresponding to magnetic field strength 250mT); drive circuit: input stage, DSP generates PWM control signal (frequency 10 kHz, resolution 16 bits); power stage, H-bridge topology, IGBT module (model FF600R12ME3) is used to realize bidirectional current control; feedback loop, Hall sensor (accuracy ±1mT) monitors the magnetic field strength in real time, forming a closed-loop control (bandwidth 5 kHz).

[0043] Stretching amount calibration and compensation: a three-parameter lookup table model of magnetic field strength-stretching amount-temperature is established (data points are spaced 5mT / 0.5℃), and dynamic compensation is realized through two-dimensional linear interpolation; within the range of -30℃~60℃, the repeatability error of stretching amount is <0.5μm (verified by laser interferometer measurement).

[0044] Variable pitch angle realization: mechanical conversion mechanism: the stretching of the alloy rod is amplified to the blade rotation angle through a lever mechanism (lever ratio 1:15), and the theoretical conversion relationship is:

[0045] Where ΔL is the stretching amount of the alloy rod, =200mm is the initial length.

[0046] Angle feedback: a 20-bit absolute magnetic encoder (resolution 0.001 degrees) is installed on the rotating shaft at the root of the blade to correct the mechanical transmission error in real time.

[0047] Mechanical transmission-free variable pitch structure, its direct drive topology: Each blade is equipped with an independent actuator, and the alloy rod and the blade root are connected through a flexible coupling (material 65Mn spring steel, stiffness 500N / mm), which eliminates the backlash problem of traditional gearboxes. Dual-redundant field coil design, master-slave coil switching time <1ms, to ensure that the system can still maintain basic functions when a single coil fails.

[0048] Actuator housing: aluminum alloy 7075-T6 machined parts, surface anodizing treatment (thickness 20μm); sealing structure: using double O-ring dynamic sealing (fluorine rubber, hardness 70 Shore A), combined with labyrinth air seal, protection level up to IP67; driver integrated in the hub, using liquid cooling (ethylene glycol solution, flow rate 2L / min); electromagnetic shielding: actuator housing through copper foil grounding (grounding resistance <0.1Ω), to suppress the harmonic interference of frequency converter; vibration isolation: installing rubber shock absorber (damping ratio 0.2) between alloy rod and rack, to reduce blade vibration transmission (attenuation rate >20dB@100Hz).

[0049] Specific verification as follows: complete 10 to the power of 7 fatigue test (0 degrees ~ 30 degrees reciprocating motion, frequency 1Hz), no material fatigue cracks appeared; through the lightning impulse test in IEC 61400-1 standard (8 / 20μs waveform, 20kA peak current).

[0050] Wide temperature range stable control, its temperature influence mechanism: Terfenol-D magnetostrictive coefficient λ decreases nonlinearly with temperature rise ( =1500ppm@25℃, =1650ppm@-30℃, =1200ppm@60℃), which needs to be compensated by active temperature control.

[0051] Temperature compensation algorithm: establish magnetostrictive coefficient-temperature dynamic model: λ(T) = × [1 - α(T-25) + β(T-25)2] Where, α=0.002 / ℃, , obtained by experimental fitting.

[0052] According to the real-time temperature Tmeas to correct the magnetic field control quantity: Bcorr = Bcmd × [ / λ(Tmeas)]; In the DSP, realize look-up table + linear interpolation, single calculation time <50μs.

[0053] Low temperature start-up: In an environment of -30 degrees Celsius, the Peltier system needs 10 minutes to raise the temperature of the alloy rod to above 0 degrees Celsius; High temperature continuous operation: In an environment of 60 degrees Celsius, after continuous work for 72 hours, the pitch angle error is less than 0.05 degrees; Thermal shock test: rapid switching between -30 degrees Celsius and 60 degrees Celsius (rate 10 degrees Celsius / min), the system has no functional failure.

[0054] It has the following advantages: microsecond-level magnetic field response + millimeter-level mechanical motion, realizing fast tracking of pitch angle when wind speed suddenly changes (compared with traditional hydraulic system, the response time is shortened by 80%); contactless magnetic drive eliminates mechanical wear, and the MTBF (mean time between failures) is improved to more than 100,000 hours; through active temperature control, the fluctuation range of the magnetostrictive coefficient is compressed from ±25% to ±3%, ensuring the control accuracy in the whole temperature range.

[0055] Multi-physical field cooperative control system, in which an intelligent sensing network is constructed and signal fusion is performed: The wind speed sensor array is designed by combining ultrasonic time difference method and laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV). Three groups of non-collinear ultrasonic sensors are arranged on the windward surface of the blade (hub center, 1 / 3 of the blade tip, and blade tip). The working frequency is 40 kHz. The wind speed component is calculated by measuring the propagation time difference of sound waves in the wind direction and the adverse wind direction (accuracy ±0.1 m / s). Two fiber-coupled laser anemometers are integrated, which monitor the three-dimensional wind vector at 10 m and 20 m in front of the impeller (resolution 0.01 m / s). The laser wavelength is 1550 nm. The wind speed is calculated by Doppler frequency shift, and the sampling frequency is 1 kHz. The data of the two sensors are fused by Kalman filter to eliminate the measurement error caused by the difference in turbulence scale, and finally the three-dimensional wind field reconstruction data with an update rate of 10 Hz are output.

[0056] The blade load monitoring system is based on a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing network, which is arranged in layers in the main beam and skin of the blade. There are 12 sensing points (4 cross sections per blade, and 3 directions per cross section). The FBG sensor uses germanium-doped quartz optical fiber, the grating length is 10 mm, the reflection wavelength is 1530-1560 nm, and multi-point measurement of a single optical fiber is realized by wavelength division multiplexing technology. When the blade bears aerodynamic load, the strain of the optical fiber causes the Bragg wavelength to shift, which is converted into strain data (accuracy ±1με) by a demodulator (resolution 1 pm). Combined with the finite element model of the blade, the bending moment (error <3%) and torque (error <5%) are obtained. The system particularly adds three groups of high-sensitivity FBG sensors (range ±5000με) at the blade root connection part to monitor the fatigue damage accumulation under extreme working conditions.

[0057] The vibration monitoring unit adopts a three-axis MEMS accelerometer (ADXL355) installed at the center of the hub, the variable pitch bearing, and the generator stator, with a range of ±10g and a noise density of 25μg / √Hz. The vibration frequency spectrum is analyzed in real time through fast Fourier transform (FFT), focusing on monitoring characteristic frequency bands such as 1P (rotational frequency), 3P (blade passing frequency), and 6P (gear meshing frequency). When a sudden increase in high-frequency vibration energy above 10Hz is detected (threshold set at 3 times the baseline value), the active adjustment mechanism of the blade surface vortex generator is triggered.

[0058] The magnetic field monitoring module is designed for magnetostrictive variable pitch actuators. Three Hall effect sensors (AH49E) are arranged in a 120° ring around the Terfenol-D alloy rod to monitor the magnetic field strength (range ±300mT, resolution 0.1mT) and spatial distribution uniformity. By comparing the measurement differences of the three sensors (threshold <5mT), the magnetization uniformity of the alloy rod is diagnosed in real time, and when the deviation exceeds the threshold, the magnetic field recalibration program is started: adjust the phase difference of the excitation current of the double-layer solenoid (initially set to 0°), and eliminate local magnetic saturation through orthogonal magnetic field compensation.

[0059] Real-time optimization strategy: The low wind speed start-up mode (v∈[3,5]m / s) starts the blade surface vortex generator, which consists of 8 piezoelectric ceramic driven micro-vortex plates (size 50×20mm), and controls the vibration frequency (0-200Hz) and amplitude (0-10mm) of the vortex plates through PWM signals. When the wind speed sensor detects the cut-in wind speed, the system first adjusts the pitch angle to -5 degrees (relative to the zero lift position), and simultaneously starts the vortex generator to vibrate at a frequency of 150Hz, generating periodic vortexes on the blade surface. CFD simulation shows that this strategy can increase the local Reynolds number of the blade by 40%, move the separation point back by 15% of the chord length, and increase the starting torque by 22%. When the generator speed reaches 800rpm, gradually reduce the vortex intensity to zero, and adjust the pitch angle to 0 degrees to enter the normal power generation state.

[0060] The rated wind speed optimization mode (v∈[8,12]m / s) adopts a double-layer control strategy: the outer MPC controller calculates the optimal pitch angle reference value θref every 1s, and the inner RL controller fine-tunes Δθ at a frequency of 100Hz. When the wind speed stabilizes at 10m / s, the system gradually adjusts the pitch angle from 0 degrees to 8 degrees through iterative optimization, and monitors the power generation power P and blade load F in real time during this process. If P drops by more than 2% or F exceeds 85% of the design value, immediately trigger the protective feathering (rate 5 degrees / s), and record the current wind speed-pitch angle relationship for model updating. Actual tests show that this mode can increase the annual average power generation efficiency by 3.1%, especially in the shear wind field (vertical gradient of wind speed )

[0061] High wind speed / turbulence protection mode (v>12m / s or turbulence intensity>15%) activates multi-level load mitigation mechanisms: first, the pitch angle is quickly adjusted to 15 degrees (rate 8 degrees / s) by the MPC controller, while activating the blade root damper (silicone oil viscous damping, damping coefficient C=5000N·s / m). When the vibration sensor detects that the 3P frequency vibration energy exceeds the threshold, the RL controller outputs a high-frequency buffeting signal (Δθ∈[-1 degree, 1 degree], frequency 5Hz), which destroys the aerodynamic resonance by active disturbance. If the turbulence intensity continues to exceed 20% for 30s, the system enters the extreme working condition protection: the pitch mechanism adjusts the pitch angle to 90 degrees of the feathering position at the maximum rate (12 degrees / s), and triggers the mechanical braking system (hydraulic disc brake, brake torque 120kN·m). In the IEC Class III B turbulence wind field test, this mode successfully extends the blade fatigue life from 20 years to 25 years.

[0062] The embodiments of the present application can significantly improve the efficiency of wind energy utilization. Through the bionic vortex dynamic regulation technology, the system can automatically optimize the airflow distribution on the blade surface according to the real-time wind conditions. In low wind speed conditions, the vortex intensity is enhanced to improve the starting performance, and in high wind speed conditions, the flow separation is intelligently suppressed, so that the wind turbine can maintain the best aerodynamic efficiency in the entire working wind speed range. Compared with the traditional fixed geometry vortex control method, the present scheme makes the wind turbine always operate in the optimal angle of attack interval, greatly improving the energy capture capacity. The millisecond-level dynamic response is realized. The magnetostrictive variable pitch technology completely eliminates the inertia hysteresis of the mechanical transmission system. Through the direct driving of intelligent materials, the response speed of the variable pitch action is improved by orders of magnitude, and the pitch angle can be adjusted instantaneously following the change of wind speed. This ultra-fast response characteristic effectively suppresses the instantaneous load fluctuation caused by gust impact, significantly improving the running stability of the system in turbulent wind conditions. Enhance the environmental adaptability, the integrated multi-physical field cooperative control algorithm can comprehensively process wind speed, structural vibration, blade strain and other multi-dimensional information. Through advanced model predictive control, the cooperative working mode of the vortex generator and the variable pitch mechanism is intelligently adjusted, so that the wind turbine can still maintain high-efficiency and stable operation in harsh environments such as extreme temperature and complex terrain, greatly expanding the applicable geographical range. Greatly reduce the maintenance requirements, the all-solid-state actuator design discards the easily damaged components such as gearboxes and hydraulic devices in traditional systems. Magnetostrictive driving and shape memory alloy adjustment both have non-contact and non-wear working characteristics, which fundamentally solve the problems of lubrication failure and seal aging commonly found in mechanical transmission systems, significantly prolong the maintenance period of the equipment, and greatly reduce the whole life cycle maintenance cost. Improve environmental performance, intelligent vortex control effectively suppresses the flow separation phenomenon on the blade surface, not only improves the aerodynamic efficiency, but also significantly reduces the operating noise. At the same time, precise variable pitch control reduces unnecessary mechanical braking and avoids the wear and pollution caused by traditional braking systems. These characteristics make the system particularly suitable for deployment in environmentally sensitive areas such as urban suburbs and ecological protection areas. Improve system reliability, the distributed intelligent control architecture ensures that each blade has independent environmental sensing and adjustment capability. When a single sensor or actuator fails, the system can maintain basic operation through data fusion algorithms and redundant control strategies, greatly improving overall reliability. This fault-tolerant design is particularly suitable for remote areas or offshore applications where maintenance is difficult. Optimize economic performance, although advanced intelligent materials and control systems are used, the use of expensive mechanical transmission components is eliminated, and the service life of key components is significantly prolonged, so the overall manufacturing cost is effectively controlled. In addition to the advantages of improved power generation efficiency and reduced maintenance cost, the investment return period of the project is significantly shortened, and the economic performance of the whole life cycle is significantly better than that of the traditional scheme.
