[0004] To achieve the above objectives, it is necessary to provide a method, system, and equipment for short-term wind power prediction under the influence of icing, addressing the aforementioned technical problems.
[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for short-term wind power forecasting affected by icing, the method comprising the following steps:

[0009] Furthermore, the analysis of the icing data to obtain the icing type includes:
[0010] Based on the characteristics of ice, the ice types are classified as: rime, wet snow, mixed rime, granular rime, and crystalline rime;
[0011] According to the ice formation mechanism, the ice types are divided into: sublimation ice, cloud ice, and precipitation ice;

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this application clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of the present invention and are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a method for short-term wind power forecasting affected by icing is provided, including the following steps:
[0041] S11. Acquire weather data and icing data on the surface of wind turbine blades, analyze the icing data, and obtain the icing type;
[0042] The types of icing include:
[0043] Based on the characteristics of ice, the ice types are classified as: rime, wet snow, mixed rime, granular rime, and crystalline rime;
[0044] According to the ice formation mechanism, the ice types are divided into: sublimation ice, cloud ice, and precipitation ice;
[0045] According to the growth process of ice on the surface of the conductor, the icing type is divided into: dry growth process and wet growth process;
[0046] According to the cross-sectional shape of the ice on the conductor, the icing type is divided into: airfoil streamline, crescent, circular or elliptical icing.
[0047] Analyzing the icing data reveals the icing type, which also includes:
[0048] Obtain wind turbine blade data, cut the wind turbine blade data into several layers of modules with equal cross-sectional size, longitudinally cut the transversely cut modules, remove the wind turbine blade data, and obtain transverse and longitudinal slice data;
[0049] Based on the weather data, the horizontal and vertical slice data are analyzed. If the ratio of the data of equal areas of two compared slices is within a predetermined range, the two slices are classified into the same type of icing; otherwise, they are classified into different types of icing.
[0050] Preferably, the predetermined range is 0.8-1.2.
[0051] As mentioned earlier, icing can be classified into several types based on different characteristics. For example, the white crystals formed when water vapor molecules in the air directly sublimate, adhere, and freeze onto objects at low temperatures are called rime ice, which has a relatively loose ice layer structure. The transparent, smooth, and highly adhesive icing formed when supercooled water droplets in the air freeze onto the surface of wind turbine blades is called rain rime ice. Mixed rime ice is a mixture of fog and rain icing, where supercooled water droplets first collide with the blade surface to form rain rime ice, and then rime ice forms on the outer layer of the rain rime ice. Mixed rime ice grows rapidly and has a greater impact on the output power of wind turbines. Because different types of icing have different effects on power generation, distinguishing between icing types is beneficial for more accurate prediction of wind power output.
[0052] In addition, when analyzing slice data, if the ratio of equal area data is within a predetermined range, they are classified into the same icing type. This setting groups similar slices into one category, which helps to simplify the slice data analysis process to a certain extent. The analysis of horizontal and vertical slices is more three-dimensional and comprehensive than the analysis of only horizontal or vertical slices, avoiding the problem that some slice features may be missed by single-sided slices.
[0053] S12. Based on the weather data, monitor and analyze the changes in the weather data to obtain weather forecast data;
[0054] Based on the topographic data and weather data of the location of the wind turbine blades, weather changes are predicted to obtain weather forecast data.
[0055] Based on the weather data, identify the surrounding weather conditions; the surrounding weather conditions include strong winds, dense fog, and rain / snow.
[0056] Acquire the terrain and landform data of the wind turbine blades; the terrain and landform data of the wind turbine blades includes: whether it is in the mountains, whether it is surrounded by mountains, whether it is in an open area, and whether it is on a mountaintop;
[0057] Based on the weather data, surrounding weather conditions, and topographical data of the wind turbine blades, weather changes are predicted to obtain weather forecast data.
[0058] As mentioned above, weather factors are also a significant influence on blade icing. For example, when the temperature is below freezing, water droplets in the air undergo supercooling, and these supercooled droplets envelop the wind turbine blades, forming ice on their surface. Furthermore, if the wind turbine is located on a mountaintop, the higher the altitude, the greater the thickness and weight of the icing. Using weather data and topographical factors as analytical elements here helps to more accurately analyze the short-term power output of wind power under the influence of icing.
[0059] S13. Based on the icing type and weather forecast data, make a real-time prediction of the short-term wind power caused by the icing type to obtain the prediction result.
[0060] Based on the aforementioned weather forecast data, the changes in icing are predicted, resulting in icing change prediction data.
[0061] Based on the predicted data of icing changes, the utilization rate of wind energy by blades under icing conditions was analyzed.
[0062] Calculate the short-term power output of wind power based on the utilization rate;
[0063] The formula for calculating short-term wind power is as follows:
[0064] P = W * a / t
[0065] Where P represents short-term wind power, W represents wind energy, a represents wind energy utilization rate, and t represents time.
[0066] Generally, wind turbine blades deform when covered by ice. The ice cover is usually irregular in shape, with many tiny protrusions on the blade surface. These protrusions alter the original aerodynamic structure of the blade, increase the surface roughness, and greatly impair the aerodynamic characteristics of the blade. This leads to a decrease in the lift coefficient, an increase in the drag coefficient, and a decrease in the lift-to-drag ratio, resulting in reduced wind energy utilization and consequently a decrease in the wind turbine's output power. This wind energy utilization is often difficult to quantify. This study analyzes icing changes using weather forecast data to obtain a quantified wind energy utilization rate. By predicting the short-term wind power output under icing conditions using this rate, the accuracy of wind power forecasts can be effectively improved, providing strong support for the safety and efficiency of wind power generation and effectively guiding wind farm production and operation.
[0067] It should be noted that although the steps in the flowchart above are shown sequentially as indicated by the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified in this document, there is no strict order requirement for the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders.
[0068] This invention provides a method for predicting short-term wind power output affected by icing. First, weather data and icing data on the wind turbine blade surface are acquired. The icing data is analyzed to determine the icing type. Then, changes in the weather data are monitored and analyzed to obtain weather forecast data. Finally, based on the icing type and weather forecast data, short-term wind power output is predicted in real time. This invention observes the characteristics of the icing structure from multiple perspectives, subdividing the icing structure to facilitate a more detailed understanding of the icing type and better control of icing change trends, enabling more reasonable predictions of short-term power output.
[0069] Based on the above-mentioned method for predicting short-term wind power affected by icing, this embodiment of the invention also provides a system for predicting short-term wind power affected by icing, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the system includes:
