Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of new energy, and in particular to a method, apparatus, computer equipment, and medium for simulating the flow field of a wind power base. Background Technology
[0002] When carrying out the operation and maintenance of new energy power plants, it is necessary to assess the resources of the new energy power plants. In large-scale wind farms, the wake effect and refined simulation technology of large wind power bases are important technical problems that hinder the development of wind power bases.
[0003] Currently, the main simulation and evaluation method for assessing wind resources (flow field characteristics) within large-scale wind farms is the wake superposition method based on the wake of a single turbine. The wake superposition method is commonly used in engineering and has been integrated into wind farm design software such as WindSim and WASP.
[0004] However, in wind power bases, the wake effects of multiple wind farms can influence each other. The wake superposition method based on single-unit wakes only considers the wake effect of a single wind farm and cannot effectively assess the inter-farm wake effects between multiple wind farms, thus making it impossible to accurately simulate the flow field distribution in the area where the wind farms are located. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To accurately simulate the flow field distribution in the area where the target wind farm is located, this invention proposes a method, device, computer equipment, and medium for simulating the flow field of a wind power base.
[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for simulating the flow field of a wind power base, the method comprising:
[0007] Obtain the turbine data of each wind farm in the wind power base where the target wind farm is located;
[0008] Based on the data of each unit and the pre-built large eddy simulation model, the equivalent roughness of each wind farm is calculated;
[0009] Based on each equivalent roughness, the first and second preset scale components of the target wind farm are simulated.
[0010] The momentum gained by a single wind farm comes from the momentum difference of the airflow upstream and downstream of the turbine. However, large wind farms can reach several kilometers or even tens of kilometers in size, and the flow direction within the wind farm is stable. In this case, the main momentum absorbed by the wind turbine comes from the vertical transport of momentum across the entire wind farm. Therefore, the flow field distribution of the target wind farm should consider the interaction between multiple wind farms and the atmospheric boundary layer within the wind farm, rather than just the wake effect of a single wind farm. Using the above method, the turbine data of multiple wind farms in the wind power base where the target wind farm is located are input into a high-precision large eddy simulation model to calculate the equivalent roughness of each wind farm. Then, based on the equivalent roughness of multiple wind farms, the first and second preset scale wind volumes in the target wind farm are simulated. The equivalent roughness of multiple wind farms is used to characterize the flow field influence of each wind farm in the wind power base on the target wind farm, and to simulate the wake effect of the target wind farm. Compared with related technologies that only consider the wake effect of a single wind farm, the method provided by this invention takes into account the mutual influence between the flow field distributions of multiple wind farms in the wind power base, thereby improving the accuracy of simulating the flow field distribution of the target wind farm.

[0019] In one optional implementation, simulating a first preset scale component and a second preset scale component of the target wind farm based on each equivalent roughness includes:
[0020] Based on the equivalent roughness, a flow field distribution model for the wind power base is established;
[0021] The flow field distribution model is input into the large eddy simulation model to obtain the first preset scale component of the target wind farm;
[0022] The flow field distribution model is input into the pre-constructed eddy viscosity model to obtain the second preset scale component of the target wind farm.
[0023] In one optional implementation, the large eddy simulation model includes horizontal boundary conditions, top boundary conditions, and bottom boundary conditions of the computational domain. Periodic boundary conditions are used as horizontal boundary conditions of the computational domain, zero vertical velocity and zero stress are used as top boundary conditions of the computational domain, and zero vertical velocity is used as bottom boundary conditions of the computational domain.
[0024] In one alternative implementation, the method further includes:
[0025] The turbine data of the target wind farm are determined based on the first and second preset scale components.
[0026] In one alternative implementation, the unit data includes at least one of unit layout and unit type.
[0027] Secondly, the present invention also provides a wind power base flow field simulation device, the device comprising:
[0028] The acquisition module is used to acquire the turbine data of each wind farm in the wind power base where the target wind farm is located;
[0029] The calculation module is used to calculate the equivalent roughness of each wind farm based on the data of each unit and the pre-built large eddy simulation model.
[0030] The simulation module is used to simulate the first and second preset scale components of the target wind farm based on each equivalent roughness.
[0031] The momentum gained by a single wind farm comes from the momentum difference of the airflow upstream and downstream of the turbine. However, large wind farms can reach several kilometers or even tens of kilometers in size, and the flow direction within the wind farm is stable. In this case, the main momentum absorbed by the wind turbine comes from the vertical transport of momentum across the entire wind farm. Therefore, the flow field distribution of the target wind farm should consider the interaction between multiple wind farms and the atmospheric boundary layer within the wind farm, rather than just the wake effect of a single wind farm. Using the aforementioned device, the turbine data of multiple wind farms in the wind power base where the target wind farm is located are input into a high-precision large eddy simulation model to calculate the equivalent roughness of each wind farm. Then, based on the equivalent roughness of multiple wind farms, the first and second preset scale wind volumes in the target wind farm are simulated. The equivalent roughness of multiple wind farms is used to characterize the flow field influence of each wind farm in the wind power base on the target wind farm, simulating the wake effect of the target wind farm. Compared with related technologies that only consider the wake effect of a single wind farm, the device provided by this invention takes into account the mutual influence between the flow field distributions of multiple wind farms in the wind power base, improving the accuracy of simulating the flow field distribution of the target wind farm.

[0051] 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.
[0052] 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.
[0053] To accurately simulate the flow field distribution in the area where the target wind farm is located, this invention proposes a method, device, computer equipment, and medium for simulating the flow field of a wind power base.
[0054] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a wind power base flow field simulation method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the wind power base flow field simulation method includes the following steps S101 to S103.
[0055] Step S101: Obtain the turbine data of each wind farm in the wind power base where the target wind farm is located.
[0056] In one alternative embodiment, the wind power base includes multiple wind farms.
[0057] In one optional embodiment, the turbine data of the wind farm includes information such as the spacing between wind turbines in the wind farm, the diameter of the rotor, and the height of the hub, without any specific limitations.
[0058] In one optional embodiment, the target wind farm is a wind farm to be constructed, and the turbine data of the target wind farm can be determined based on the wake effect of the wind power base where the target wind farm is located.
[0059] Step S102: Calculate the equivalent roughness of each wind farm based on the data of each unit and the pre-built large eddy simulation model.
[0060] In one alternative embodiment, the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model is a numerical simulation research method based on fluid mechanics. The LES model differs from Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) and Reynolds Equation (RANS) methods by accurately solving for the motion at all turbulent scales above a certain scale. This allows it to capture unsteady data, large-scale effects in non-equilibrium processes, and pseudo-order structures that cannot be described by the Reynolds Equation method. Simultaneously, it overcomes the enormous computational overhead of direct numerical simulation methods, which require solving for all turbulent scales.
[0061] In one alternative embodiment, roughness is one of the indicators for measuring the magnitude of the frictional force between the ground and the wind. Generally, the flatter and smoother the ground, the lower the roughness. In a logarithmic wind profile, roughness represents the height at which the wind speed is zero. If wind turbines are considered as "rough elements," the presence of the wind farm increases the roughness; this roughness is called the equivalent roughness of the wind farm. The equivalent roughness of a wind farm essentially treats the wind farm as a special type of "terrain," and its main influencing factors include the spacing between wind turbines, rotor diameter, hub height, the operating state of the wind turbines, the original ground roughness, and atmospheric stability.
[0062] Step S103: Simulate the first preset scale component and the second preset scale component of the target wind farm according to each equivalent roughness.
[0063] In one optional embodiment, the first preset scale component and the second preset scale component are components of two different scales. Turbulent motion in the flow field is composed of many vortices of varying sizes. Large vortices have a significant impact on the average flow, while small vortices influence large-scale motion through nonlinear effects. A large amount of mass, heat, momentum, and energy exchange occurs through large vortices, while the effect of small vortices is dissipation. The first preset scale component characterizes the turbulent motion within large vortices, and the second preset scale component characterizes the turbulent motion within small vortices.
[0064] In one optional embodiment, the first preset scale wind volume is a large-scale component, also called the flow field distribution component, which is mainly characterized by the velocity field of the wind farm.
[0065] In one optional embodiment, the second preset scale component is a small-scale component, also called the boundary layer structure, which can be characterized by the deviatoric stress of the subgrid stress.
[0066] The momentum gained by a single wind farm comes from the momentum difference of the airflow upstream and downstream of the turbine. However, large wind farms can reach several kilometers or even tens of kilometers in size, and the flow direction within the wind farm is stable. In this case, the main momentum absorbed by the wind turbine comes from the vertical transport of momentum across the entire wind farm. Therefore, the flow field distribution of the target wind farm should consider the interaction between multiple wind farms and the atmospheric boundary layer within the wind farm, rather than just the wake effect of a single wind farm. Using the above method, the turbine data of multiple wind farms in the wind power base where the target wind farm is located are input into a high-precision large eddy simulation model to calculate the equivalent roughness of each wind farm. Then, based on the equivalent roughness of multiple wind farms, the first and second preset scale wind volumes in the target wind farm are simulated. The equivalent roughness of multiple wind farms is used to characterize the flow field influence of each wind farm in the wind power base on the target wind farm, and to simulate the wake effect of the target wind farm. Compared with related technologies that only consider the wake effect of a single wind farm, the method provided by this invention takes into account the mutual influence between the flow field distributions of multiple wind farms in the wind power base, improves the accuracy of simulating the flow field distribution of the target wind farm, and provides a reasonable basis for designing the target wind farm.
[0067] In one example, in step S102 above, the equivalent roughness of the wind farm is calculated through the following steps:
[0068] Step a1: Calculate the total thrust of the wind farm based on the turbine data.
[0069] In an alternative embodiment, total thrust refers to the thrust acting on the fluid generated by the interaction between the fluid and the rotating blades of the wind turbine.
[0070] Step a2: Calculate the equivalent roughness of the wind farm based on the total thrust of the wind farm and the large eddy simulation model.
[0071] In an optional embodiment, in step a1 above, the total thrust of the wind farm is calculated as follows:
[0072] First, the wall stress of the wind farm is calculated based on the turbine data.
[0073] Then, using the wall stress as a boundary condition, the total thrust of the wind farm is calculated using a pre-built actuated disk model.
[0074] In this embodiment of the invention, to calculate the instantaneous local wall stress at each grid point, a wall stress boundary condition is applied on the bottom surface, and the instantaneous wall stress is correlated with the velocity of the first grid point using the standard logarithmic law. The calculated wall stress can be expressed as follows:
[0075]
[0076] Where, τ w (x,y) represents the wall stress at coordinates (x,y), u * Represents friction speed; The local filtering speed represents the speed at which the first horizontal plane is reached. These represent the local flow-averaged velocity and local spanwise average velocity obtained by filtering the velocity field according to the 2Δ size, respectively; z represents the vertical direction; z 0,lo κ represents aerodynamic surface roughness; κ represents the KAMAN constant.
[0077] The actuation disk model assumes that the load is uniformly distributed on the rotor plane and that the generated force is distributed only along the axial direction, neglecting the wake rotation effect. Therefore, in the x-direction, the total thrust acting on the entire wind turbine is:
[0078]
[0079] Among them, F t Represents total thrust; ρ represents fluid density; C T U represents the thrust coefficient. ∞ D represents the incoming airflow velocity; D represents the rotor diameter; U d U represents the speed of the actuator disk. ∞ =U d (1-a), where a represents the axial induction factor, which can be obtained through one-dimensional momentum theory.
[0080] In this embodiment of the invention, the total thrust of the wind farm is obtained by solving for the average actuator disk velocity. Specifically, the total thrust can be calculated using the following formula:
[0081]
[0082] Among them, C T 'Represents the thrust coefficient, C T '=C T / (1-a) 2 C T Represents the Betz limit, 'a' represents the axial induction factor, and C represents the axial induction factor. T =8 / 9, a=1 / 3, C T =2; This represents the average speed obtained by averaging the speed over a certain time period T in the plane region of the wind turbine. The superscript T indicates that the averaging occurs over time T, and the subscript d indicates that the averaging occurs within the plane of the wind turbine; D represents the diameter of the wind turbine.
[0083] In an optional embodiment, in step a2 above, the total thrust of the wind farm is used as a boundary condition, and the equivalent roughness of the wind farm is calculated using a large eddy simulation model.
[0084] In one example, in step S103 above, the first and second preset scale components of the target wind farm are simulated through the following steps:
[0085] Step b1: Establish the flow field distribution model of the wind power base based on the equivalent roughness of each wind farm. That is, based on the obtained equivalent roughness of each wind farm, the flow field distribution of the entire wind power base under the action of multiple wind farms is obtained.
[0086] Step b2: Input the flow field distribution model into the large eddy simulation model to obtain the first preset scale component of the target wind farm. For example, the flow field distribution model is used as the boundary condition in the large eddy simulation model, and the first preset scale component of the target wind farm can be obtained through the large eddy simulation model.
[0087] In an optional embodiment, in the large eddy simulation model, the transient variables of the fluid are divided into two parts by a filtering function: a large-scale component (first preset-scale component) and a small-scale component (second preset-scale component). In the large eddy simulation model, the equations of motion for the first preset-scale component are a continuity equation and an incompressible momentum equation, which are expressed as follows:
[0088]
[0089]
[0090] Among them, ~ represents the use of Physical quantities after scale-space filtering; t represents time; ρ represents fluid density; This represents the velocity field in the i-direction after filtering. This represents the velocity field in the j-direction after filtering (when i = 1, 2, 3, it represents the flow direction x, spanwise y, and perpendicular direction z, respectively). It consists of velocity components in three directions; This represents the correction pressure after filtering. in The pressure deviation for applying the average pressure field; x i x j These are the components pointing towards x in the i-direction and the j-direction, respectively; τ ij Represents subgrid stress, Its deviatoric stress Calculated using a Lagrange-scale related dynamic model; δ ij Represents the Kronecker function, its trace (τ) kk / 3) Included in the corrected pressure, τ kk It is the isotropic part of the subgrid stress; This represents the pressure gradient applied in the x1 direction, used to generate an average inflow perpendicular to the wind turbine plane, through... Define a constant frictional velocity u *hi As a reference value, the speed is obtained via u. *hi Dimensionless, time scale via H / u *hi Dimensionless, p represents the partial derivative in the x-direction. ∞ The pressure value representing infinity, i.e., atmospheric pressure, is represented by P and H; f i This represents volume force and is used to simulate the influence of wind turbines in the momentum equation.
[0091] In the large eddy simulation model, molecular dissipation can be ignored because the Reynolds number at the atmospheric boundary is very high (usually greater than 108), and the viscous flow near the ground is not solved. Therefore, the viscous term is ignored in the momentum equation.
[0092] In one alternative implementation, the large eddy simulation model includes horizontal boundary conditions of the computational domain, top boundary conditions of the computational domain, and bottom boundary conditions of the computational domain.
[0093] In this embodiment of the invention, periodic boundary conditions (PBCs) are used as the horizontal boundary conditions of the computational domain. Periodic boundary conditions reflect how the boundary conditions are used to replace the influence of the surrounding environment on the selected part (system). Exemplarily, periodic boundary conditions can be continuous periodic boundaries, antisymmetric periodic boundaries, Froquet periodic boundaries, cyclic symmetric boundaries, etc., without specific limitations.
[0094] In this embodiment of the invention, zero vertical velocity and zero stress are used as the top boundary conditions of the computational domain, i.e.
[0095]
[0096] in, Represents the partial derivative in the vertical direction; This represents the velocity field in the flow direction and span after passing through the filtering function; This represents the velocity field in the direction perpendicular to the filter function; These represent the velocity components in the flow rate, spanwise direction, and vertical direction after passing through the filtering function, respectively; z represents the vertical direction.
[0097] In this embodiment of the invention, the vertical velocity is zero as the boundary condition at the bottom of the computational domain. A balanced wall model is used at the bottom of the computational domain. Due to the use of staggered meshes, the horizontal velocity is only stored at a distance of Δz / 2 above the surface; therefore, no boundary condition for the horizontal velocity is required at the bottom of the computational domain.
[0098] Step b3: Input the flow field distribution model into the pre-constructed eddy viscosity model to obtain the second preset scale component of the target wind farm.
[0099] In the large eddy simulation model, all turbulent structures larger than the filter size in the filter function are solvable. The effects of unsolvable small-scale eddies on the flow field require modeling and calculation. Subgrid stress represents the influence of small-scale eddies on the equations of motion. Since the velocity fields in the i-direction and j-direction after filtering cannot be simultaneously determined in numerical simulations, the deviatoric stresses of the subgrid stresses in the aforementioned momentum equations are unknown. Therefore, a subgrid stress model needs to be constructed to calculate the deviatoric stresses of the subgrid stresses.
[0100] In this embodiment of the invention, the deviatoric stress of the subgrid stress is calculated using the eddy viscosity model:
[0101]
[0102] in, The deviatoric stress representing the subgrid stress; τ ij Represents subgrid stress; τ kk It is the isotropic part of the subgrid stress; δ ij Represents the Kronecker function; The strain rate tensor represents solvable scale turbulence. Its size is (Strain rate); ν sgs The subgrid eddy viscosity can be obtained using the mixing length approximation method. C s This represents the eddy viscosity coefficient (Smagorinsky coefficient).
[0103] In one example, the method provided by this embodiment of the invention further includes:
[0104] Based on the first and second preset scale components of the target wind farm, the turbine data of the target wind farm is determined. In other words, the first and second preset scale components of the target wind farm are used as the basis for designing the turbine data of the target wind farm, and the spacing distribution of the target wind farm is determined through the obtained preset scale components, etc.
[0105] In one optional embodiment, the turbine data of the target wind farm includes at least one of turbine layout and turbine type. The turbine layout can be either layout density or turbine spacing. For example, when the turbine data includes turbine spacing, the wind farm can be divided into three types according to the turbine spacing: medium-spacing wind farms, wind farms with large flow-direction spacing, and wind farms with large spanwise spacing. The first preset scale component and the second preset scale component characterize the influence of other wind farms in the wind farm base on the wake effect of the target wind farm. The turbine layout spacing of the target wind farm can be determined using the first preset scale component and the second preset scale component.
[0106] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the specific calculation method for simulating the flow field at a wind power base. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the wind power base includes four wind farms: Wind Farm 1, Wind Farm 2, Wind Farm 3, and the target wind farm 4 to be designed. The total thrust of each wind farm is calculated based on the turbine data of Wind Farm 1, Wind Farm 2, and Wind Farm 3. Then, the equivalent roughness of each wind farm is calculated based on the total thrust. The flow field boundary conditions in the large eddy simulation model are determined based on the equivalent roughness of each wind farm. This yields the first preset scale component (flow field component) and the second preset scale component (boundary layer structure) of the target wind farm under the influence of other wind farms. Based on the flow field component and boundary layer structure, the design of the target wind farm is adjusted.
[0107] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of the present invention also provide a wind power base flow field simulation device, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the device includes:

[0111] The momentum gained by a single wind farm comes from the momentum difference of the airflow upstream and downstream of the turbine. However, large wind farms can reach several kilometers or even tens of kilometers in size, and the flow direction within the wind farm is stable. In this case, the main momentum absorbed by the wind turbine comes from the vertical transport of momentum across the entire wind farm. Therefore, the flow field distribution of the target wind farm should consider the interaction between multiple wind farms and the atmospheric boundary layer within the wind farm, rather than just the wake effect of a single wind farm. Using the aforementioned device, the turbine data of multiple wind farms in the wind power base where the target wind farm is located are input into a high-precision large eddy simulation model to calculate the equivalent roughness of each wind farm. Then, based on the equivalent roughness of multiple wind farms, the first preset scale wind volume and the second preset scale wind volume in the target wind farm are simulated. The equivalent roughness of multiple wind farms is used to characterize the flow field influence of each wind farm in the wind power base on the target wind farm, and to simulate the wake effect of the target wind farm. Compared with related technologies that only consider the wake effect of a single wind farm, the device provided in this embodiment of the invention takes into account the mutual influence between the flow field distributions of multiple wind farms in the wind power base, thereby improving the accuracy of simulating the flow field distribution of the target wind farm.
