Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wind power technology, and in particular to a method and system, equipment and medium for predicting the ultimate load of a wind turbine unit. Background Art

[0002] During the load suitability assessment process for a wind farm site, it is necessary to analyze the ultimate load of each wind turbine at the site to ensure that the ultimate load over its lifecycle is within the design value. Two approaches are commonly used in the existing technology. One approach is to conduct a point-by-point assessment, simulating the ultimate load of each unit based on the wind parameter information at each unit site, and assessing the ultimate safety of each unit. The other approach is to take the maximum envelope value of the environmental parameters at each point in the wind farm, equating the environmental parameters of all points to the environmental parameters of a "virtual" point. Using this environmental parameter as input, the ultimate load of the unit is calculated. This ultimate load is greater than the ultimate load of any unit at any point in the site. By assessing the ultimate load safety of the unit at the virtual point, the ultimate load safety of all units at the entire site is ensured.

[0003] However, the first approach requires high simulation performance, consumes large amounts of computing resources, and takes a long time to simulate. Therefore, it is difficult to implement when simulation capabilities are insufficient or the number of site locations is large.

[0057] The present invention is further described below by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the examples.

[0058] Example 1

[0059] See also Figure 1 This embodiment specifically provides a method for predicting the ultimate load of a wind turbine unit, including:

[0060] S101. Collect environmental parameters of each unit in the target site respectively;

[0061] S102. Input the environmental parameters into the limit load prediction model to obtain the limit load corresponding to each unit;

[0062] S103. Generate target site ultimate load safety prediction results based on the comparison between the ultimate load and the design ultimate load.

[0063] This embodiment provides a prediction model-based method for predicting the ultimate load of a wind turbine group to achieve prediction and assessment of the ultimate load of wind turbines at a specific site. Specifically, the method includes two steps: establishing a prediction model for the ultimate load of wind turbines and evaluating the ultimate load of wind turbines at each point in the specific site.

[0064] The process for assessing the ultimate load of wind turbines at a specific site is as follows: For each wind turbine location, the environmental parameters of each location are first obtained. Using these environmental parameters as input, the ultimate load prediction model is used to determine the ultimate load under these environmental parameters. This ultimate load assessment is then performed point by point for the wind farm. For each load component, the maximum ultimate load of all wind turbines for that load component is taken as the ultimate load for that load component at the site. By comparing the site ultimate load with the unit's design ultimate load, the site's ultimate load safety is determined. Because the ultimate load prediction model is explicit, this method can save significant computational resources and time compared to detailed calculations.

[0065] The above two links realize the rapid and accurate assessment of the ultimate load of each point in the wind farm.

[0066] As a preferred embodiment, the ultimate load prediction model in step S102 is obtained by the following steps:

[0067] S1. Based on the design environmental parameters of each unit at the target site, including air density, turbulence intensity, vertical wind shear index, inflow angle, and 50-year maximum turbulent wind speed, obtain the corresponding benchmark ultimate load for each unit;

[0068] S2. Based on the design environmental parameters, obtain the corresponding extreme load sensitivity samples and environmental parameter samples for each unit;

[0069] S3. Use the extreme load sensitivity samples as functions and the environmental parameter samples as independent variables to perform model training, and obtain sensitivity models corresponding to different extreme loads;

[0070] S4. Obtain an ultimate load prediction model corresponding to the design environment parameters based on the benchmark ultimate load and the corresponding sensitivity model.

[0071] The process of developing a limit load prediction model includes four steps: generating a baseline limit load, generating a limit load sensitivity model, generating a limit load prediction model, and verifying the accuracy of the limit load prediction model. During the baseline limit load generation process, step S1 first selects the unit requiring load assessment. Based on the unit's designed environmental conditions, detailed limit load calculations are performed using wind turbine load simulation software to obtain the baseline limit load.

[0072] Step S2 obtains the extreme load sensitivity samples and environmental parameter samples corresponding to each unit based on the design environmental parameters. Preferably, step S2 includes:

[0073] Determine the variation range of design environment parameters;

[0074] Discretize the environmental parameters within the variation range to generate environmental parameter samples;

[0075] Obtain the ultimate load sample corresponding to the environmental parameter sample through simulation calculation;

[0076] Divide the ultimate load sample by the benchmark ultimate load to obtain the ultimate load sensitivity sample.

[0077] Specifically, in the process of generating the extreme load sensitivity model, the unit design environmental conditions are taken as the center, the variation range of the environmental parameters is set, the environmental parameters are discretized within the range to form environmental parameter samples, the extreme load is calculated using wind turbine load simulation software, the extreme load samples under each set of environmental parameters are obtained, the extreme load samples are divided by the benchmark extreme load, the extreme load sensitivity samples are obtained, and the extreme load sensitivity prediction model is set.

[0078] In step S3, the model is trained using the environmental parameter samples as independent variables and the extreme load sensitivity samples as functions to obtain sensitivity models for different extreme loads. In step S4, the extreme load sensitivity model is multiplied by the reference extreme load to obtain an extreme load prediction model.

[0079] As a preferred embodiment, after the ultimate load prediction model is generated, it is verified and adjusted. Specifically, after step S4, the following steps are further included:

[0080] S5. Based on the design environment parameters, generate environmental parameters for model verification;

[0081] S6. Obtaining the load verification value corresponding to the environmental parameter used for model verification;

[0082] S7. Input the environmental parameters used for model verification into the ultimate load prediction model to obtain the corresponding load prediction value;

[0083] S8. Adjust the ultimate load prediction model based on the load verification value and the load prediction value.

[0084] Specifically, within the environmental parameter definition domain of the extreme load prediction model, several sets of environmental parameters are randomly generated. These parameters include air density, turbulence intensity, vertical wind shear index, inflow angle, and the 50-year maximum turbulent wind speed. These parameters are used as input for a detailed load calculation to obtain verified extreme load values. Simultaneously, these sets of environmental parameters are substituted into the extreme load prediction model to obtain predicted extreme load values. By comparing the two, the extreme load prediction model is verified and adjusted. The verified extreme load prediction model can be used to predict the extreme loads of wind turbines.

[0085] As a preferred embodiment, step S103 includes:

[0086] Obtain the maximum value of the limit loads of all units corresponding to each target load component as the limit load of the target load channel;

[0087] The ultimate load corresponding to each target load component is compared with the design ultimate load of each unit to evaluate the safety of the ultimate load corresponding to each unit in the target site and generate prediction results.

[0088] Specifically, the process for assessing the ultimate load of wind turbines at a specific site, point by point, is as follows: For each wind turbine location, environmental parameters are first obtained. Using these environmental parameters as input, the ultimate load under the influence of these environmental parameters is calculated using an ultimate load prediction model. This ultimate load prediction is then performed point by point for the wind farm. For each load component, the maximum value of the ultimate load of that load component across all locations is taken as the ultimate load of that load component at the site. By comparing the site's ultimate load with the unit's design ultimate load, the site's ultimate load safety is determined. Because the ultimate load prediction model is explicit, this method can save significant computing resources and time compared to detailed calculations. Thus, through these two steps, rapid and accurate assessment of the ultimate load at each wind farm location can be achieved.

[0089] In a specific prediction example, Figure 2 The diagram shows the process for establishing a wind turbine limit load prediction model. The model establishment process, in sequential order, includes: generating a baseline limit load for the unit 10; determining the possible range of environmental parameter variations 11; discretely combining environmental parameters to form input parameter samples 12; simulating using load simulation software to generate limit load samples corresponding to the input parameter samples 13; establishing a mapping relationship between environmental parameters and limit load sensitivity coefficients to form a load sensitivity coefficient regression model 14; considering each limit load component independently, and continuously multiplying the load sensitivity regression model for each environmental parameter by the baseline limit load for that load component to form a limit load prediction model 15; and verifying the accuracy of the limit load prediction model 16.

[0090] The generation of the unit's benchmark limit load can be achieved through detailed load simulation according to industry specifications. It is necessary to obtain the limit load under each operating condition, each load channel, and each wind speed condition to form a limit load matrix. Environmental parameters include the following variables: air density, turbulence intensity, vertical wind shear index, inflow angle, and wind speed of the maximum turbulent wind once in 50 years. The possible range of environmental parameter changes is determined according to the range of site environmental parameters in the target market of the unit. The discrete processing of environmental parameters can be carried out in the following way:

[0091] Air density is discretized within the possible range of site variations, with a step size of 0.01 kg / m³. Under a given air density, the turbulence intensity at each wind speed is discretized to the possible range of site turbulence intensity, with 10 equally spaced points. The wind speed range is from the cut-in speed to the cut-out speed, with a step size of 1 m / s. The vertical wind shear index, inflow angle, and the 50-year maximum turbulent wind speed are also discretized to the possible range of site variations, with 10 equally spaced points. The environmental parameter combination utilizes a controlled variable method. When the vertical wind shear index, inflow angle, and the 50-year maximum turbulent wind speed are varied, the air density and turbulence intensity remain unchanged at their design values. When the air density and turbulence intensity are varied, the vertical wind shear index, inflow angle, and the 50-year maximum turbulent wind speed remain unchanged at their design values. However, for each air density condition, discrete values ​​for turbulence intensity are required for each wind speed.

[0092] Through simulation, we obtained samples of wind turbine extreme loads. For each combination of the aforementioned environmental parameters, we generated a matrix of extreme load samples for each operating condition, each load component, and each wind speed. For the extreme load sensitivity parameter prediction model, we divided the extreme load samples by the baseline extreme load matrix to obtain the percentage of the sample load to the baseline load. Separate analyses were conducted for each operating condition, each load component, and each wind speed. Regression analysis was performed using air density, turbulence intensity, inflow angle, wind shear index, and the 50-year maximum turbulent wind speed as independent variables, and the load percentage as the dependent variable. A polynomial regression model was selected.

[0093] Regression analysis is divided into four categories. The first category is the regression function of inflow angle and ultimate load, which is set as a univariate polynomial and includes a constant term. The second category is the regression function of wind shear index and ultimate load, which is set as a univariate polynomial and includes a constant term. The third category is the regression function of wind speed of the maximum turbulent wind once in 50 years and ultimate load, which is set as a univariate polynomial and includes a constant term. The fourth category is the regression function of air density, turbulence intensity and ultimate load, which is set as a two-variable polynomial and includes a constant term. The order of the above polynomials is adjusted according to the regression error, and the maximum order does not exceed three.

[0094] The ultimate load prediction model analyzes each operating condition, each load component, and each wind speed separately. The benchmark ultimate load and the four types of ultimate load sensitivity models mentioned above are continuously multiplied to obtain the ultimate load prediction model. The ultimate load for a given load component is defined as the maximum ultimate load of the load channel under all operating conditions and all wind speeds. The ultimate load prediction model and parameters are described as follows:

[0095] Ultimate load prediction model: L' = L*f1*f2*f3*f4, L" = max{L' i,j};

[0096] L': The predicted value of the ultimate load under given load components, given working conditions and given wind speed.

[0097] L: The ultimate load reference value under given load components, given working conditions, and given wind speed.

[0098] f1: Regression function of the ultimate load and inflow angle sensitivity coefficient, independent variable: inflow angle.

[0099] f2: Regression function of ultimate load and wind shear index sensitivity coefficient, independent variable: wind shear index.

[0100] f3: Regression function of ultimate load, air density and turbulence intensity sensitivity coefficient, independent variables: air density and turbulence intensity.

[0101] f4: Regression function of the sensitivity coefficient between the ultimate load and the wind speed of the maximum turbulent wind once in 50 years. Independent variable: the wind speed of the maximum turbulent wind once in 50 years.

[0102] L”: Ultimate load for a given load component.

[0103] i: Working condition number.

[0104] j: wind speed number.

[0105] The extreme load prediction model is applicable to the three moments, three forces, and the load components of the resultant moment in the orthogonal coordinate system of the blade root, rotating hub, fixed hub, yaw bearing, tower top section, and tower bottom section. To verify the accuracy of the extreme load prediction model, several sets of environmental parameter combinations are randomly generated within the environmental parameter definition domain corresponding to the extreme load prediction model. The extreme loads are then calculated in detail using load simulation software to obtain verification values. The environmental parameters are then substituted into the extreme load prediction model to obtain predicted values. The verification values ​​are then compared with the predicted values ​​to verify the accuracy of the extreme load prediction model. If the accuracy is poor, the order of the sensitivity prediction model is adjusted and the regression analysis is repeated.

[0106] Regarding the process of predicting the site's ultimate load using the ultimate load prediction model: First, obtain the point environmental parameters and substitute them into the ultimate load prediction model to predict the ultimate values ​​of each load component. Repeat the "obtaining point environmental parameters" and "substituting them into the ultimate load prediction model to predict the ultimate values ​​of each load component" steps for each point to obtain the ultimate loads for all load channels at all points. For each load component, take the maximum ultimate load for that load component at all points to obtain the ultimate load envelope value for that load component at the site. Compare each site's ultimate load envelope value with the unit's design ultimate load to determine ultimate safety.

[0107] The wind turbine unit limit load prediction method of this embodiment establishes an explicit wind turbine limit load prediction model, enabling prediction of the limit loads at the target wind farm site without requiring iterative optimization calculations. This method avoids the time-consuming and labor-intensive detailed simulations and significantly conserves computing resources. Furthermore, it avoids the drawbacks of prior art techniques, where excessive redundancy and deviation in limit load estimations lead to poor accuracy and practicality. It accurately locates the unit locations with the highest limit loads, improving prediction efficiency while ensuring high accuracy in prediction results, thus demonstrating strong industry promotion value.

[0112] The prediction result generating module 53 is used to generate the ultimate load safety prediction result corresponding to the target site according to the ultimate load.

[0113] This embodiment provides a prediction system for the ultimate load of a wind turbine group based on a prediction model to achieve prediction and assessment of the ultimate load of wind turbines at a specific site. Specifically, it includes two parts: establishing a prediction model for the ultimate load of wind turbines and assessing the ultimate load of wind turbines point by point at a specific site.

[0114] The process for assessing the ultimate load of wind turbines at a specific site, point by point, is as follows: For each wind turbine location, the environmental parameters of each location are first obtained. Using these environmental parameters as input, a limit load prediction model is used to determine the ultimate load under the influence of these environmental parameters. This ultimate load assessment is then performed point by point on the wind farm. For each load component, the maximum value of the ultimate load of that load component across all locations is taken as the ultimate load of that load component at the site. By comparing the site ultimate load with the unit's design ultimate load, the site's ultimate load safety is determined. Because the ultimate load prediction model is explicit, this method can save significant computational resources and time compared to detailed calculations, enabling rapid and accurate assessment of the ultimate load at each wind farm location.

[0115] As a preferred embodiment, the prediction system is further used to generate an ultimate load prediction model, including:

[0116] A reference load acquisition module 61 is used to obtain the reference limit load corresponding to each unit based on the design environmental parameters of each unit in the target site;

[0119] The prediction model generation module 64 is used to obtain the ultimate load prediction model corresponding to the design environment parameters based on the benchmark ultimate load and the corresponding sensitivity model.

[0120] The wind turbine limit load prediction model development process includes four steps: generating a baseline limit load, generating a limit load sensitivity model, generating a limit load prediction model, and verifying the accuracy of the limit load prediction model. During the baseline limit load generation process, the baseline load acquisition module 61 first selects the unit requiring load assessment. Based on the unit's designed environmental conditions, it uses wind turbine load simulation software to perform detailed limit load calculations to obtain the baseline limit load.

[0121] The sample acquisition module 62 acquires the extreme load sensitivity samples and environmental parameter samples corresponding to each unit based on the design environmental parameters. Preferably, the sample acquisition module 62 includes:

[0122] The parameter interval determination unit 621 is used to determine the variation interval of the design environment parameter;

[0125] The sensitivity sample acquisition unit 624 is configured to divide the limit load sample by the reference limit load to acquire the limit load sensitivity sample.

[0126] Specifically, in the process of generating the extreme load sensitivity model, the unit design environmental conditions are taken as the center, the variation range of the environmental parameters is set, the environmental parameters are discretized within the range to form environmental parameter samples, the extreme load is calculated using wind turbine load simulation software, the extreme load samples under each set of environmental parameters are obtained, the extreme load samples are divided by the benchmark extreme load, the extreme load sensitivity samples are obtained, and the extreme load sensitivity prediction model is set.

[0127] The sensitivity model training module 63 uses environmental parameter samples as independent variables and extreme load sensitivity samples as functions to train the model and obtain sensitivity models for different extreme loads. The prediction model generation module 64 can obtain an extreme load prediction model by multiplying the extreme load sensitivity model by the reference extreme load.

[0128] As a preferred embodiment, the prediction system for the ultimate load of the wind turbine unit further includes:

[0129] A model verification parameter generation module 65 is used to generate environment parameters for model verification based on the design environment parameters;

[0130] A load verification value acquisition module 66 is used to obtain load verification values ​​corresponding to environmental parameters used for model verification;

[0131] A load prediction value acquisition module 67 is used to input the environmental parameters used for model verification into the extreme load prediction model to obtain corresponding load prediction values;

[0132] The prediction model adjustment module 68 is used to adjust the extreme load prediction model according to the load verification value and the load prediction value.

[0133] Specifically, within the environmental parameter definition domain of the extreme load prediction model, several sets of environmental parameters are randomly generated and used as input for detailed load calculations to obtain verified load values. Simultaneously, these sets of environmental parameters are substituted into the extreme load prediction model to obtain predicted load values. By comparing the two, the extreme load prediction model is verified and adjusted. The verified extreme load prediction model can be used to predict extreme loads of wind turbines.

[0134] As a preferred embodiment, the prediction result generation module 53 includes:

[0135] The limit load acquisition unit 531 is used to respectively acquire the maximum value of the limit loads of all units corresponding to each target load component as the limit load of the target load component;

[0136] The site safety assessment unit 532 is used to compare the ultimate load corresponding to each target load component with the design ultimate load of each unit, evaluate the safety of the ultimate load corresponding to each unit in the target site, and generate a prediction result.

[0137] Specifically, the process for assessing the ultimate load of wind turbines at a specific site, point by point, is as follows: For each wind turbine location, the environmental parameters of each location are first obtained. Using these environmental parameters as input, a mathematical model for the ultimate load is used to determine the ultimate load under the influence of these environmental parameters. This ultimate load assessment is then performed point by point for the wind farm. For each load component, the maximum value of the ultimate load of that load component across all locations is taken as the ultimate load of that load component at the site. By comparing the site ultimate load with the unit's design ultimate load, the site's ultimate load safety is determined. Because the ultimate load prediction model is explicit, this method can save significant computing resources and time compared to detailed calculations. Thus, through these two steps, a rapid and accurate assessment of the ultimate load at each point in the wind farm can be achieved.

[0138] The wind turbine unit limit load prediction system of this embodiment establishes an explicit wind turbine limit load prediction model, enabling prediction of the limit loads at the target wind farm site without requiring iterative optimization calculations.
