Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of wind turbine blade health monitoring, and relates to a wind turbine blade health monitoring device and a monitoring method. Background Art

[0002] In order to ensure the continuous and efficient operation of wind farms, the technical level of health monitoring of wind turbines is also constantly improving. Due to the harsh working environment, the rotor blades of wind turbines are one of the large components that are more prone to performance degradation or even failure. Therefore, blade health monitoring has always been valued by technical personnel in the industry. After long-term operation, the blades may show the following problems: surface stains, peeling of the leading edge coating, shedding of rubber blocks in the cavity, cracking of the trailing edge adhesive, expansion of wrinkles and cracks in the inner skin ply, etc. As the blade design size becomes larger and larger, traditional health monitoring methods are difficult to achieve good detection results. The reasons are:

[0003] From the perspective of methods, (a) visual observation: the monitoring effect is often limited by the visible distance of the environment and the movement state of the blade, making it difficult to detect small damage and its degree changes in time; (b) stress monitoring: the monitoring effect is often limited by the number of sensor layout positions, instrument resolution and reliability. Due to investment and operation and maintenance costs, there is a high probability of monitoring omissions for damage that is not correctly predicted in advance; (c) vibration monitoring: in addition to facing the same problems as stress monitoring, the monitoring effect is often limited by large blade deformation and nonlinear vibration coupling, making it difficult to obtain sufficient information to accurately judge the health problems of the blade.

[0004] From the perspective of instruments, (a) traditional health monitoring methods usually install sensors directly on the research system for data collection and measurement. The operating environment of large wind turbines is complex, with many influencing factors and common system coupling responses. The signals obtained will be interfered to varying degrees, and even the performance or service life of the instrument will be reduced; (b) as the demand becomes increasingly clear, advanced technologies in other fields have also begun to be applied across industries, resulting in remote monitoring methods using video or audio. The sensor maintains a certain distance from the research system, effectively avoiding signal interference from the wind turbine itself, but cannot avoid being affected by the surrounding environment, such as rain, snow, fog, noise, etc. Instruments are also prone to failure or deviation when operating in the field for a long time. It is crucial to use technical methods such as installation and commissioning, measurement and calibration to ensure the effectiveness of the results.

[0005] In fact, for most of the current wind farms, although the SCADA system is installed, the traditional manual inspection method is still widely retained, especially in the operation health inspection of wind turbines, which relies on sound recognition and shows its intuitive and effective characteristics. The basic principle is that vibration, as an inherent property of the system, will change after a certain degree of damage or failure, and will be manifested in the form of changes in operating noise, so that early warning effects can be achieved through monitoring and evaluation. However, the shortcomings of manual inspection are also very obvious: (a) The frequency of periodic inspections and the continuous observation time are limited, so that the inspection results are significantly affected by the randomness of sampling, and it is impossible to find and feedback problems in time; (b) Human judgment is affected by psychological effects, and the reference value of the results depends on the experience and status of the inspectors, which makes it difficult to achieve objective evaluation, detail quantification, and deep learning; (c) Human auditory discrimination and judgment abilities have physiological limitations and cannot filter or capture the impact of subtle changes in on-site environmental factors.

[0006] There are technical standards for wind turbine noise measurement, see GB / T 22516 "Wind Turbine Noise Measurement Methods", but its content is mainly for the test measurement methods of related noise, and there is no reasonable solution for the problems that may be encountered in the continuous health monitoring process, such as instrument positioning calibration, data collection deviation correction, data result evaluation and judgment, etc. The lack of corresponding technical solutions may seriously affect the effect of the test implementation. Therefore, it is necessary to design and establish a wind turbine blade health monitoring platform, and seek a commonly used and effective wind turbine blade health monitoring method that is suitable for various wind farm operating environments, blade models, etc., to capture the noise changes caused by blade damage or failure, reasonably evaluate and give early warnings, shorten the safety problem discovery cycle, and reduce the unit operation and maintenance costs.

[0027] R2. Wind turbine operation audio data collection: When the unit is in operation, the time domain audio data of each monitoring channel and the unit SCADA data are continuously collected at the same time, with a collection interval S and a collection time length U. The time domain audio data of each monitoring channel and the unit SCADA data are taken as a group of data to complete the transmission and storage of the collected data.
