[0026] Figure 1 is a flow chart illustrating a method for calculating the turbulence spatial representative of the wind measurement tower according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure;

[0029] The following description with reference to the accompanying drawings is provided to assist in a comprehensive understanding of embodiments of the present disclosure as defined by the claims and their equivalents. Various specific details are included to assist in understanding but are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Therefore, one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. In addition, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted for clarity and conciseness.

[0030] The terms used in the specification will be defined briefly, and the embodiments will be described in detail. In the embodiments, wind power, also known as wind power generation, refers to the conversion of wind kinetic energy into electric energy. A wind farm is a tool invented by humans to utilize wind energy and combine a series of generators to achieve the purpose of generating electricity using wind energy. The turbulence intensity refers to the degree of random fluctuation of short-time wind speed, which is generally represented by the ratio of the average standard deviation of ten-minute wind speed measurement results to the average wind speed. The mesoscale data is meteorological data calculated using a mesoscale model, which can provide wind speed and direction time series data at a specified location as input data for numerical simulation of wind resources in the field area. The wind measurement scheme design gives the number, location, and equipment configuration of wind measurement points required for wind measurement in the wind farm.

[0031] All terms used in the specification, including descriptive or technical terms, should be interpreted as having meanings apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. However, these terms can have different meanings according to the intention of those of ordinary skill in the art, precedents, or the emergence of new technology. In addition, some terms can be arbitrarily selected by the applicant, and in this case, the meaning of the selected terms will be described in detail in the detailed description of the disclosure. Therefore, the terms used in the disclosure should not be interpreted based on their names alone, but must be defined based on the meaning of the terms together with the description in the entire specification.

[0032] In the following specification, the singular form includes the plural form unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0033] The existing method has a great dependence on the technical and experience levels of the staff because an engineer needs to artificially judge the turbulence space representativeness of the wind measurement tower to the wind turbine generator in the wind farm according to the geographical and meteorological environment. This brings great uncertainty to the wind measurement scheme design, the risk is difficult to quantify, and directly affects the economic benefit of the wind power project. In addition, for a field area with complex wind resources, such as a mountain wind farm, it is difficult for an engineer to ensure the turbulence representativeness of the wind measurement tower to the position of the wind turbine generator based on experience, and the method and process of evaluating the turbulence space representativeness of the wind measurement tower based on experience are difficult to trace and cannot achieve systematic knowledge management.

[0034] The disclosure reduces the uncertainty introduced by the staff based on experience by quantifying the turbulence space representativeness of the wind measurement tower, and can directly find areas with low turbulence space representativeness of the wind measurement tower to provide a basis for risk avoidance or supplementary wind measurement. At the same time, it also achieves systematic, manageable, and upgradeable methods.

[0035] Hereinafter, according to various embodiments of the disclosure, the method and apparatus of the disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Figure 1 is a flowchart showing a method of calculating a representative of a turbulence space of a wind measurement tower according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure. The method of the present disclosure can be executed by a main controller of a wind turbine generator unit or can be executed by a separate processor.

[0037] Since the turbulence space distribution calculation process is a highly complex nonlinear process, the present disclosure does not analyze from the principle of a numerical method turbulence model, but starts from the calculation results of actual project cases, and establishes an evaluation method of a representative of a turbulence space of a wind measurement tower through a machine learning method, which will be described in detail below with reference to Figure 1 .

[0038] Referring to Figure 1 , in step S101, flow field data and geographical data of a target location and a wind measurement tower in a wind farm are acquired.

[0039] As an example, mesoscale data of a wind farm to be developed can be collected first, and a wind resource numerical simulation calculation is performed on the wind farm area according to the collected mesoscale data, and then flow field data of the target location and the wind measurement tower in the wind farm can be extracted from the wind resource numerical simulation calculation results.

[0040] Alternatively, actual wind measurement data can be used as input to obtain flow field data via wind resource numerical simulation calculation. Alternatively, both actual wind measurement data and collected mesoscale data can be used as input to obtain flow field data via wind resource numerical simulation.

[0041] As another example, mesoscale data at the location of the wind measurement tower can be collected, the field area is gridded, and a wind resource numerical simulation calculation is performed on the wind farm, and flow field data of each grid point at a specified height within the wind farm area is extracted from the wind resource numerical simulation calculation results, and flow field data at the same specified height at the location of the wind measurement tower is obtained from the wind resource numerical simulation calculation results.

[0042] In the present disclosure, the flow field data can include the results of the field area flow field numerical simulation calculation, such as wind acceleration factor, turbulence intensity, horizontal wind direction deflection, inflow angle, etc. at the wind measurement tower and the wind turbine generator unit. The geographical data can include the coordinates, elevation, roughness, etc. of the wind measurement tower and the wind turbine generator unit. However, the above examples are only exemplary, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0043] In step S102, turbulence-related characteristic factors are extracted from the flow field data and geographical data of the target location and the flow field data and geographical data of the wind measurement tower.

[0044] The extraction of the characteristic factors can be accomplished by calculation between the flow field data and geographical data of the target location and the flow field data and geographical data of the wind measurement tower. Here, since it is for the wind farm to be developed, the flow field data of the wind measurement tower and the target location can be numerical simulation results. The suitable address of the wind measurement tower and the wind turbine generator can be selected according to the numerical simulation results and the turbulence space representative model.

[0045] As an example, the characteristic factors of the present disclosure can include at least one of the turbulence intensity difference, the height distance, the horizontal distance, the wind direction deflection angle difference, the inflow angle difference, the terrain complexity, and the roughness between the target location and the wind measurement tower, however the above example is only exemplary, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0046] In step S103, the characteristic factors are applied to the turbulence space representative model to calculate the turbulence space representation of the wind measurement tower to the target location. The turbulence space representative model of the present disclosure can be established based on the mutual promotion results of at least two wind measurement towers in the actual completed project site area. Preferably, the mutual promotion results of the wind measurement towers in the actual completed multiple project site areas (the number of wind measurement towers in each project site area is not less than two) can be used to establish the turbulence space representative model.

[0047] In the present disclosure, the quantifiable value of the turbulence space representation of the wind measurement tower is defined, that is, the wind measurement data of the wind measurement tower is taken as the input data of the flow field simulation to calculate the turbulence intensity at the target location of the site area, and the absolute deviation that can occur by comparing the calculated turbulence intensity at the target location with the true turbulence intensity is the turbulence space representation of the wind measurement tower to the target location.

[0048] Optionally, the turbulence space representation can be quantified as one of the deviation value, the mean square error, the root mean square error, the standard deviation, and the variance between the turbulence intensities, thereby improving the accuracy of evaluating the turbulence space representation of the wind measurement tower.

[0049] As an example, the quantifiable value of the turbulence space representation of the wind measurement tower to the target location can be displayed, and the quantifiable value can be extracted. Optionally, the atlas of the turbulence space representation of the wind measurement tower to the target location can be displayed.

[0050] In addition, the turbulence space representation of the sector of the wind farm can be calculated, or the sector results can be integrated according to the wind frequency. For example, the main wind frequency and the main wind energy wind direction are important reference wind directions for the design of the wind farm, and the characteristic factors extracted from the input sector flow field numerical simulation calculation results in the turbulence space representative model, that is, the turbulence space representation of the wind measurement tower to the corresponding sector of the site area can be calculated and obtained.

[0051] In the present disclosure, when a wind resource numerical simulation calculation is performed using mesoscale data, flow field data and geographical data of each grid point at a specified height within the wind farm can be extracted and calculated with flow field data and geographical data at the same height as the location of the wind measurement tower, and the extraction of the characteristic factors related to turbulence is completed. The characteristic factors of each grid point are applied to the turbulence spatial representative model, thereby obtaining the turbulence spatial representation of the wind measurement tower to the wind farm area. Similarly, the turbulence spatial representation of the wind measurement tower to the sub-sector can also be calculated.

[0052] How to establish a turbulence spatial representative model will be described in detail below with reference to Figure 2 Figure 2 is a flow chart showing a method of establishing a turbulence spatial representative model according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2 The turbulence spatial representative model can be established by using a machine learning method.

[0053] Referring to Figure 2 In step S201, wind measurement data, flow field data and geographical data of at least two wind measurement towers in an existing project wind farm are obtained. Here, the wind measurement data can include at least one of wind speed, wind direction and turbulence intensity, the flow field data can include at least one of wind acceleration factor, turbulence intensity, wind direction deflection angle, inflow angle, and the geographical data can include at least one of coordinates, elevation and roughness. However, the above examples are only exemplary, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0054] The turbulence spatial representative model of the present disclosure can be established based on the mutual promotion results of at least two wind measurement towers in an actual completed project area. Preferably, the turbulence spatial representative model can be established by using the mutual promotion results of the wind measurement towers in a plurality of actual completed project areas (the number of wind measurement towers in each project area is not less than two).

[0055] As an example, two wind measurement towers are selected in a completed project area, one of which is an input wind measurement tower and the other is an output wind measurement tower. The information to be collected can include wind measurement data, flow field data and geographical data of the input wind measurement tower and the output wind measurement tower. For example, the wind measurement data of the input and output wind measurement towers can include time series data of wind speed, wind direction and turbulence intensity, the flow field data can include wind acceleration factor, turbulence intensity, horizontal wind direction deflection, inflow angle, etc. at the positions of the input and output wind measurement towers, and the geographical data can include coordinates, elevation, roughness, etc. at the positions of the input and output wind measurement towers. However, the above examples are only exemplary, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0056] In step S202, characteristic factors related to turbulence are extracted according to the wind measurement data, flow field data and geographical data of the at least two wind measurement towers.

[0057] ​First, the wind tower turbulence space representativeness can be quantified. For example, the wind data of the input wind tower is taken as the input data of the flow field simulation, the turbulence intensity at the output wind tower position is calculated, and then the calculated turbulence intensity at the output wind tower position is compared with the actual turbulence intensity at the output wind tower position, and the comparison result is taken as the turbulence space representativeness of the wind tower. Here, the comparison result can include one of the bias value, mean square error, root mean square error, standard deviation and variance of the turbulence intensity between the input and output wind towers. However, the above example is only exemplary, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0058] Through correlation analysis, the characteristic factors related to turbulence can include at least one of the turbulence intensity difference, height distance, horizontal distance, wind direction deflection angle difference, inflow angle difference, terrain complexity and roughness between the input wind tower and the output wind tower. However, the above example is only exemplary, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0059] In step S203, the extracted characteristic factors are taken as the input of the turbulence space representativeness model, and the comparison result between the turbulence intensity measurement value and the numerical simulation calculation value of the corresponding wind tower is taken as the output of the turbulence space representativeness model, and the turbulence space representativeness model is established by using a machine learning method. For example, the characteristic factors of the input wind tower and the output wind tower are taken as the input, and the comparison result between the measurement value and the numerical simulation calculation value of the turbulence intensity of the output wind tower is taken as the output, and the turbulence space representativeness model is established by using a machine learning method.

[0060] As an example, a multiple linear regression method can be used to establish the turbulence space representativeness model, the parameters of the turbulence space representativeness model are adjusted to minimize the mean square error as the optimization target, and the stability of the turbulence space representativeness model is tested using 10-fold cross-validation. The above machine learning method is only exemplary, and the present disclosure can also use other machine learning algorithms (such as SVR, MLP, RandomForest, LinearRegression, XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost, etc.) and the fusion of machine learning algorithms, etc.

[0061] The turbulence space representativeness model of the present disclosure is variable, that is, the training of machine learning according to different regional project sets obtains a calculation model suitable for different regional environments. Therefore, the method and model according to the present disclosure can be suitable for various projects and / or regions, facilitating upgrading and management.

[0062] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, instead of starting from the principle of calculating the turbulence model from the numerical value, a quantitative model of the turbulence space representation of the wind measurement tower is established based on the completed projects and the machine learning algorithm, which not only improves the accuracy of evaluating the turbulence space representation of the wind measurement tower on the site, but also intuitively and easily finds the area with low turbulence representation of the wind measurement tower, providing a basis for risk avoidance or supplementary wind measurement.

[0063] Figure 3 is a block diagram illustrating an apparatus for calculating turbulence space representation of a wind measurement tower according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The apparatus 300 for calculating turbulence space representation of a wind measurement tower can be implemented by a master controller of a wind turbine generator set, or formed as a single entity separately from the master controller and installed in the wind turbine generator set.

[0064] Referring to Figure 3 , the apparatus 300 can include a data acquisition module 301 and a data processing module 302. Each module in the apparatus 300 can be implemented by one or more modules, and the name of the corresponding module can vary depending on the type of the module. In various embodiments, some modules in the apparatus 300 can be omitted, or additional modules can also be included. In addition, the modules / elements according to various embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined to form a single entity, and thus can equivalently perform the functions of the corresponding modules / elements before the combination.

[0065] The data acquisition module 301 can acquire flow field data and geographical data of a target location and a wind measurement tower in a wind farm. Here, the flow field data can include a wind acceleration factor, a turbulence intensity, a wind direction deflection angle, an inflow angle, etc. The geographical data can include coordinates, an altitude, and a roughness, etc. However, the above examples are merely exemplary, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0066] For the flow field data, the data acquisition module 301 can obtain based on mesoscale data via wind resource numerical simulation calculation. The data acquisition module 301 can also input actual wind measurement data into a wind resource numerical simulation calculation software to obtain the flow field data. Alternatively, the data acquisition module 301 can obtain the flow field data using mesoscale data and actual wind measurement data via wind resource numerical simulation calculation.

[0067] The data processing module 302 can extract turbulence-related characteristic factors from the flow field data and the geographical data of the target location and the wind measurement tower, and apply the characteristic factors to a turbulence space representation model to calculate the turbulence space representation of the wind measurement tower on the target location. Here, the characteristic factors can include at least one of a turbulence intensity difference between the target location and the wind measurement tower, a height distance, a horizontal distance, a wind direction deflection angle difference, an inflow angle difference, a terrain complexity, and a roughness.

[0068] The device 300 can further include a display (not shown). The data processing module 302 can control the display to display a map of the turbulence spatial representativeness of the target location by the wind measurement tower according to the output of the turbulence spatial representativeness model, or display a quantitative value of the turbulence spatial representativeness of the target location by the wind measurement tower.

[0069] In addition, the data processing module 302 can establish the turbulence spatial representativeness model by using a machine learning method. The data processing module 302 can establish the turbulence spatial representativeness model based on the mutual pushing results of at least two wind measurement towers in an actual completed project site. For example, the turbulence spatial representativeness model can be established based on the mutual pushing results of wind measurement towers in a plurality of actual completed projects (the number of wind measurement towers in each project is not less than 2).

[0070] The data processing module 302 can establish the turbulence spatial representativeness model by using a regression method, taking the feature factors extracted from the wind measurement data, flow field data and geographical data of the at least two wind measurement towers as the input of the turbulence spatial representativeness model and taking the comparison results between the turbulence intensity measurement values and the numerical simulation values of the corresponding wind measurement towers as the output of the turbulence spatial representativeness model.

[0071] The data processing module 302 can adjust the parameters of the turbulence spatial representativeness model with the minimum mean square error as the optimization target.

[0072] The data processing module 302 can use 10-fold cross-validation to test the stability of the turbulence spatial representativeness model.

[0073] When the wind resource numerical simulation calculation is performed by using the mesoscale data, the data processing module 302 can extract the flow field data and geographical data of each grid point at a specified height in the wind farm, and perform calculation with the flow field data and geographical data at the same height as the location of the wind measurement tower, complete the extraction of the turbulence-related feature factors, apply the feature factors of each grid point to the turbulence spatial representativeness model, and thus obtain the turbulence spatial representativeness of the wind measurement tower to the site of the wind farm. Similarly, the turbulence spatial representativeness of the wind measurement tower to the sub-sector can also be calculated.

[0074] In addition, with reference to Figures 1 to 2 The method described can be implemented by a program (or instructions) recorded on a computer readable storage medium. For example, according to the exemplary embodiments of the present application, a computer readable storage medium can be provided, in which a program for performing the method described with reference to Figures 1 to 2Computer programs (or instructions) of the steps of the described method. For example, the computer programs (or instructions) can be used to perform the following method steps: obtaining target locations in a wind farm and flow field data and geographical data of a wind measurement tower; extracting turbulence-related characteristic factors from the flow field data and geographical data of the target locations and the flow field data and geographical data of the wind measurement tower; and applying the characteristic factors to a turbulence spatial representative model to calculate a turbulence spatial representation of the wind measurement tower for the target locations.

[0075] On the other hand, each of the above-described devices can also be implemented by hardware, software, firmware, middleware, microcode, or any combination thereof. When implemented in software, firmware, middleware, or microcode, the program code or code segments to carry out the corresponding operations can be stored in a computer-readable medium such as a storage medium, so that the processor can execute the corresponding operations by reading and running the corresponding program code or code segments.

[0076] For example, the exemplary embodiments of the present application can also be implemented as a computing device including a storage component and a processor, the storage component having stored therein a set of computer-executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, perform the method of calculating a turbulence spatial representation of a wind measurement tower according to the exemplary embodiments of the present application.

These devices can be specifically designed and manufactured for the desired purpose, or can also include known devices in a general-purpose computer. These devices have computer programs stored therein which are selectively activated or reconfigured. Such computer programs can be stored in a computer-readable medium of the device (for example, a computer) or in any type of medium suitable for storing electronic instructions and respectively coupled to the bus, including but not limited to any type of disk (including floppy disks, hard disks, optical disks, CD-ROMs, and magneto-optical disks), ROM (Read-Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), flash memory, magnetic cards or optical cards.
