Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of wind power generation, in particular to a wind farm controllable wake identification method and system based on operation data. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of wind power generation, the wake effect of wind turbines can reduce the power generation of the wind farm, and further affect the investment returns of the entire wind farm. At present, there are various methods to reduce the influence of wake in the wind farm. In the operation stage of the wind farm, a cooperative control strategy is mainly used to try to avoid the loss of power generation caused by the wake effect. Before the implementation of the control strategy, it is necessary to solve the key technical problem of how to identify and determine the wake that meets the implementation conditions of the control strategy in an operating wind farm.

[0003] The existing wake identification technology mainly includes two kinds. One is a direct measurement technology represented by a laser radar, which observes the influence range of the wake of the unit through advanced equipment, so as to perform cooperative control. The other is a model calculation technology based on wind measurement equipment, which takes the wind direction measured by the wind measurement tower or some units in the field as the representative wind direction of the whole field, and calculates the wake range in the field by combining the wake model. The direct measurement technology represented by the laser radar uses expensive measurement equipment, which is commonly used in theoretical verification work and is difficult to be widely applied to actual engineering projects aimed at improving overall returns. The model calculation technology based on wind measurement equipment is relatively simple, but this method has many assumptions, and the uniform inflow assumption does not conform to the actual operating conditions of most wind farms, which can easily lead to redundant or even incorrect cooperative control actions in actual application, resulting in resource waste. SUMMARY

[0045] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] This invention provides a method for identifying controllable wake in wind farms based on operational data, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0049] Step S1: Obtain the basic parameters of the wind farm and the turbines within the farm, and establish a set of neighboring turbines for each turbine based on the basic parameters.

[0050] In this embodiment of the invention, basic parameters of the wind farm and its turbines are obtained from a wind farm database. Specifically, these include: the turbine number, layout coordinates, rotor diameter, and standard power curve of each turbine within the wind farm. Figure 2 The diagram shows the layout of the wind farm in this embodiment. For each turbine, a set of neighboring turbines is established by taking all turbines whose distance from it is less than N times the rotor diameter. N is determined according to the actual environment of each wind farm. Usually, N>15. In this embodiment, N is 20.

[0051] Step S2: Obtain actual operating data of the wind farm and filter out the units that are in normal operating condition.

[0052] In this embodiment of the invention, the current wind speed, wind direction, and power data of each turbine are obtained from the wind farm's SCADA system. For each turbine, its wind speed and power data are used in conjunction with a standard power curve to determine whether it is in normal operating condition. The specific criteria are as follows:

[0053] At the same wind speed, if the power data P recorded by the SCADA system SCADAPower data P recorded by the SCADA system Sta If the following formula is met, it is determined that the unit is in a normal operation state at this moment:

[0054]

[0055] If the power data P recorded by the SCADA system SCADA Power data P obtained according to a standard power curve Sta If the following formula is met, it is determined that the unit is in an abnormal operation state at this moment:

[0056]

[0057] In the formula, the deviation δ is an empirical parameter, which is selected according to actual discrimination conditions.

[0058] According to the above determination standard, the unit in a normal operation state at the current moment is screened out. As shown in the following table, it is a data distribution diagram of the normal operation state and the abnormal operation state of a unit in a certain embodiment according to the above determination standard within a time range. Figure 3

[0059] Step S3: For the unit in a normal operation state, the theoretical wake action area of the unit is calculated, and the unit closest to the unit and falling within the theoretical wake action area of the unit is screened out from the adjacent unit set, so as to form a theoretical wake action unit pair with the unit.

[0060] For the unit in a normal operation state, the following formula is used to calculate the theoretical wake action area of the unit under the actual measured wind direction of the unit:

[0061] D w = 2k w x + D

[0062] In the formula, x is the distance between the unit downstream and the unit under the current wind direction, D w is the wake action diameter at x, D is the impeller diameter, k w is the wake diffusion coefficient, which is an empirical parameter, generally 0.075 for onshore wind farms and 0.05 for offshore wind farms.

[0063] Step S4: The current wind direction data recorded by the two units in the theoretical wake action unit pair is extracted, and if the difference between the wind direction data of the two units is less than or equal to a preset threshold, the two units are determined to be an effective wake unit pair, and an effective wake unit set is established.

[0064] ​Extract the current wind direction data d1 and d2 recorded by the two units in the theoretical wake interaction unit pair, if |d1-d2|≤M, the two units are effective wake unit pairs, wherein M is determined according to the actual situation, generally M is less than 22.5 degrees.

[0065] In this embodiment, all effective wake unit pairs are summarized, if there is the same unit in two effective wake unit pairs, it is integrated into a set to form an effective wake unit set. Taking the data recorded by the wind farm in this embodiment at a certain time as an example, the effective wake interaction area in the wind farm at this stage can be drawn, as shown in the figure. Figure 5

[0066] Step S6: Obtain the power of all units in the effective wake unit set, and select the effective wake unit set in which the power of all downstream units is less than the power of the most upstream unit to form a controllable wake unit set.

[0067] Taking the data recorded by the wind farm in this embodiment at a certain time as an example, the controllable wake interaction area in the wind farm at this stage can be drawn, as shown in the figure. Figure 6 According to the above steps, the controllable wake affected unit set in the wind farm at each time can be determined in real time, and then the cooperative control strategy can be implemented in the unit set to reduce the power generation loss caused by the wake effect. Figure 6 The controllable wake position of the wind farm at the current time obtained by the method provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure, and the related cooperative control strategy should also be carried out in this set, thereby reducing the power generation loss caused by the wake effect.
