Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind turbine aerodynamic performance calculation, and in particular to a method and system for modeling stall delay of a wind turbine blade airfoil. Background Art

[0002] Blade element momentum theory is a widely used method for predicting wind turbine power. For stalled wind turbines, this method often underestimates power at high wind speeds. This is primarily due to the influence of blade rotation on the boundary layer. Currently, this phenomenon is typically corrected using a stall delay model, which can be embedded in blade element momentum theory to accurately estimate power at high wind speeds.

[0003] Commonly used models, such as the Du-Selig stall delay correction model, are derived from three-dimensional boundary layer theory. Some simplifications include the assumption that the boundary layer on the blade surface is laminar, the velocity distribution outside the blade boundary layer is linear with the flow direction, and that delayed stall is solely dependent on the tip-to-tip speed ratio. However, these assumptions are not entirely consistent with reality. Therefore, when the final correction model is used over a wide range of inlet angles of attack, the correction values ​​exhibit significant localized errors compared to the measured values.

[0049] In the following description, specific details such as particular system structures and techniques are provided for purposes of illustration, not limitation, to facilitate a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.

[0050] A method for modeling stall delay of a wind turbine blade airfoil according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for modeling stall delay of a wind turbine blade airfoil provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0053] S1. Based on the geometric parameters of blades composed of the same airfoil, the flow control region is used to solve the continuity equation, Navier-Stokes equation, and turbulence equation for the three-dimensional discrete flow region to calculate the flow field of the wind turbine under different incoming wind speeds, obtaining a first calculation result. The first calculation result, the two-dimensional lift coefficient, and the geometric parameters of the blade are input into a lift coefficient neural network model for training to obtain a lift coefficient neural network correction model;

[0054] S2. Based on the geometric parameters of the blades composed of the same airfoil, the flow control area is used to solve the continuity equation, Navier-Stokes equation and turbulence equation of the three-dimensional discrete flow area to calculate the flow field of the wind turbine under different incoming wind speeds, and a second calculation result is obtained. The second calculation result, the two-dimensional drag coefficient and the geometric parameters of the blades are input into the drag coefficient neural network model for training to obtain a drag coefficient neural network correction model.

[0055] Among them, the lift coefficient neural network correction model and the drag coefficient neural network correction model are both airfoil stall delay models. Currently, airfoil stall delay models also include: Snel. model and Du-Selig model.

[0056] The training of the neural network is carried out in MATLAB. The present invention adopts MATLAB as the training environment, making the training process simpler and easier.

[0057] The lift coefficient neural network correction model and the drag coefficient neural network correction model jointly correct the airfoil stall.

[0058] Among them, CFD stands for Computational Fluid Dynamics.

[0059] In the inner span of a wind turbine blade, the airfoil is usually thicker and often operates at a larger angle of attack, making it prone to stall. The critical angle of attack at which stall occurs in a two-dimensional airfoil is smaller than the critical angle of attack at which stall occurs in a rotating airfoil. This phenomenon is called stall delay. This is reflected in the aerodynamic performance of the airfoil. The two-dimensional lift coefficient and two-dimensional drag coefficient corresponding to the same angle of attack are significantly different from the three-dimensional lift coefficient and three-dimensional drag coefficient under three-dimensional conditions. Usually, an airfoil stall delay model is required to make corrections so that the three-dimensional lift coefficient and three-dimensional drag coefficient can be obtained based on the two-dimensional lift coefficient and the two-dimensional drag coefficient. Based on the above analysis, the three-dimensional lift coefficient is related to the local solidity, the local peripheral speed ratio, the three-dimensional angle of attack, the twist angle, and the two-dimensional lift coefficient, while the three-dimensional drag coefficient is related to the local solidity, the local peripheral speed ratio, the angle of attack, the twist angle, and the two-dimensional drag coefficient.

[0062] The above airfoil stall delay correction model is combined with the blade element momentum theory to predict the aerodynamic performance of wind turbines, such as power and axial thrust. The calculation process of the blade element momentum theory is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the geometric parameters of the input blade include the distribution of c / r and the twist angle β along the span direction, the blade pitch angle ε, and the aerodynamic performance parameters of the airfoil include the angle of attack, the three-dimensional lift coefficient and the three-dimensional drag coefficient, and finally the power can be output.

[0071] Based on solving the continuity equation of the three-dimensional discrete flow area, after the Navier-Stokes equation and the turbulence equation are converged, the velocity and pressure are obtained. Based on integrating the pressure, the three-dimensional normal force and three-dimensional tangential force on the airfoil surface are obtained. Then, based on the dimensionless transformation of the three-dimensional normal force and three-dimensional tangential force, the corresponding three-dimensional normal force coefficient and three-dimensional tangential force coefficient are respectively obtained, and the three-dimensional angle of attack and its corresponding three-dimensional lift coefficient and three-dimensional drag coefficient are calculated.

[0075] (3) calculating the tip and root loss coefficients according to the inflow angle, then calculating the second axial induction factor a and the second circumferential factor b, and determining whether the second axial induction factor a is less than a first set threshold value,

[0076] Among them, the first set threshold includes: 0.4.

[0077] If so, then according to the tip and root loss coefficients, the local radius, number of blades and normal force coefficient C n , calculate the third axial induction factor a new and third circumferential induction factor b new ;

[0078] If not, the three-dimensional tangential force coefficient C is obtained from fluid dynamics. t and the three-dimensional normal force coefficient C n , and based on the blade tip and blade root loss coefficients, the third axial induction factor a is calculated new and the third circumferential induction factor b new ;

[0079] (4) Determine the difference between the second axial induction factor a and the third axial induction factor a new Whether the absolute value of the difference between the second circumferential induction factor b and the third circumferential induction factor b is less than the second set threshold, it is judged that the second circumferential induction factor b and the third circumferential induction factor b are new whether the absolute value of the difference is less than the second set threshold,

[0080] If so, then according to the three-dimensional tangential force coefficient C t , three-dimensional normal force coefficient C n , calculate and obtain the three-dimensional lift coefficient C l3d , three-dimensional resistance coefficient C d2d and three-dimensional angle of attack;

[0081] If not, assign the third axial induction factor to the axial induction factor a; assign the third circumferential induction factor to the second circumferential induction factor b, and return to step (2) for the next round of iterative calculation until convergence.

[0082] The flow field calculation of the wind turbine under different incoming wind speeds includes:

[0083] S11. Set the blade flow calculation domain;

[0084] Based on the symmetry of the rotation domain of a two-blade or three-blade wind turbine, a single-blade flow calculation domain is taken. The inlet of the flow calculation domain is 5R away from the wind rotor, the outlet of the flow calculation domain is 20R away from the wind rotor, and it extends 5R along the blade span direction. The flow calculation domain consists of two semi-cylinders and the wind rotor blade. The radius of the outer cylinder is 5R, the radius of the inner cylinder is the blade root radius, and the length of the two cylinders is 25R.
