Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind power generation, and in particular to a wind turbine blade anti-icing system, method, equipment and storage medium. Background Art
[0002] Wind farms are generally located in high-altitude areas with strong winds and cold weather, and it is very easy for wind turbine blades to freeze in winter. The freezing of wind turbine blades will change the aerodynamic performance of the blades, resulting in an unbalanced mass distribution of the blades, asymmetric loads, and mechanical failures. At present, the general practice is to actively shut down the unit after the blades are covered with ice to a certain extent. However, after the large-scale wind power shutdown caused by the blades covering with ice, the power grid will be insufficient, which will bring huge risks to the dispatching and operation of the power system, and seriously affect the safe and stable operation of the power grid. At present, the more commonly used wind power deicing technologies include electric heating deicing, gas heating deicing, and external spraying of deicing liquid. Electric heating deicing arranges resistance wires, heating elements and other devices on the surface of the wind turbine blades, which increases the probability of lightning strikes on the wind turbine blades and has a greater maintenance risk; external spraying of deicing liquid requires the unit to be shut down, which has high requirements for safe flight in the air. Blade gas heating deicing requires high-power heating components, and the heating deicing efficiency is low and the economy is poor. At present, there is no anti-icing technology for wind turbine blades that can simultaneously take into account safety, efficiency and economy, and wind turbine blade deicing remains an unsolved global problem.

At the same time, the heating module adopts a detachable wearable structure, which can be installed on the surface of the wind turbine blade only during the ice coverage period, and can be disassembled at other times, which has little impact on the wind turbine. Since there are fewer thunderstorms in winter, there is no risk of attracting lightning, and the safety is high.

[0049] Specifically, after the control module 7 receives the multiple environmental data and ice coverage data sent by the sensor module 8, it can determine whether an anti-icing operation or a de-icing operation is currently required for the wind turbine blades according to the multiple environmental data and ice coverage data.
[0050] Further, the heating module 5 is controlled to perform corresponding operations on the wind turbine blades according to the judgment result.
[0051] Preferably, the sensor module 8 can also be used to obtain strain data of the heating module 5 and send the strain data to the control module 7 .
[0052] The strain data is used to reflect the strain conditions of certain parts of the heating module 5 after the heating module 5 is installed and fixed to the surface of the wind turbine blade.
[0053] Specifically, after the heating module 5 is installed and fixed on the surface of the wind turbine blade, the strain condition of the heating module 5 can be monitored by the strain measurement sensor in the sensor module 8 on the surface of the heating module 5 to obtain corresponding strain data.
[0054] Furthermore, the sensor module 8 may send the strain data obtained through monitoring to the control module 7 .
[0055] Preferably, the control module 7 is also used to determine whether the heating module meets the preset installation requirements based on the strain data.
[0056] Specifically, after the control module 7 receives the strain data sent by the sensor module 8, it can determine whether the heating module 5 currently installed on the surface of the wind turbine blade meets the preset installation requirements based on the strain data. In this way, the use of the heating module 5 can be made safer and more efficient.
[0057] Preferably, the power supply module 6 is used to supply power to the control module 7 and the heating module 8 respectively, so as to ensure the normal operation of the control module and the heating module.
[0058] The wind turbine blade anti-icing and de-icing system provided in this embodiment obtains multiple environmental data and ice coverage data on the surface of the wind turbine blades through a sensor module installed on the surface of the heating module, and then the control module controls the heating module to perform anti-icing or de-icing operations on the wind turbine blades through the received multiple environmental data and ice coverage data, thereby realizing the anti-icing and de-icing of the wind turbine. At the same time, the heating module adopts a detachable wearable structure, which can be installed on the surface of the wind turbine blades only during the ice-covering period, and can be removed at other times, which has little impact on the wind turbine. Since there are fewer thunderstorms in winter, there is no risk of attracting lightning, and the safety is high. Furthermore, installing the heating module on the surface of the wind turbine blades can improve the anti-icing or de-icing efficiency. Therefore, by implementing the present invention, the anti-icing and de-icing of wind turbines can be achieved more safely, efficiently, and economically.
[0059] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a method for preventing and deicing blades of a wind turbine is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.
[0060] In this embodiment, a method for preventing and removing ice from blades of a wind turbine is provided, which can be used in the control module 7 in the wind turbine blade prevention and removal ice system provided in the above embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for preventing and deicing blades of a wind turbine according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the process includes the following steps:
[0061] Step S301, when there is an ice-covered period, obtaining strain data of the heating module.
[0062] Specifically, the power supply module 6, the control module 7 and the sensor module 8 in the wind turbine blade anti-icing system are installed on the surface of the wind turbine blade.
[0063] Furthermore, through a special meteorological forecasting system, it is possible to obtain forecast data on the icing state of the wind turbines in a preset future time period and determine whether there will be an icing period in the preset future time period.
[0064] Furthermore, if there is an ice-covered period, the heating module 5 is further mounted on the surface of the corresponding wind turbine blade.
[0065] Further, after the heating module 5 is installed, the strain data of the heating module 5 is obtained. The specific process is referred to the functional description of the sensor module 8 in the above embodiment of the present invention, and will not be repeated here.
[0066] Step S302: judging whether the heating module meets the preset installation requirements based on the strain data.
[0067] The specific process refers to the functional description of the control module 7 in the above embodiment of the present invention, which will not be repeated here.
[0068] Step S303: when the heating module meets the preset installation requirements, a plurality of environmental data and ice coverage data of the surface of the wind turbine blade are obtained.
[0069] Specifically, if the heating module 5 meets the preset installation requirements, the sensor module 8 on the surface of the wind turbine blade is used to obtain multiple environmental data and ice coverage data of the corresponding wind turbine blade surface, and the obtained multiple environmental data and ice coverage data are sent to the control module 7.
[0070] The specific acquisition process can refer to the functional description of the sensor module 8 in the wind turbine blade anti-icing system in the above embodiment of the present invention, which will not be repeated here.
[0071] Step S304: controlling the heating module to perform anti-icing or de-icing operations for the wind turbine blades based on the multiple environmental data and ice coverage data.
[0072] The specific process can refer to the functional description of the control module 7 in the wind turbine blade anti-icing system in the above embodiment of the present invention, which will not be repeated here.
[0073] The wind turbine blade anti-icing method provided in this embodiment can determine whether the wind turbine has an icing period in a preset future time period through the prediction data of the icing state of the wind turbine in a preset future time period. If there is an icing period, the wind turbine can be anti-iced by obtaining a plurality of environmental data and icing data on the surface of the wind turbine blade. Therefore, by implementing the present invention, the wind turbine is safer by using a heating module to perform anti-icing on the wind turbine during the icing period.
[0074] In this embodiment, a method for preventing and removing ice from blades of a wind turbine is provided, which can be used in the control module 7 in the wind turbine blade prevention and removal ice system provided in the above embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for preventing and deicing blades of a wind turbine according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the process includes the following steps:
[0075] Step S401: When there is an ice-covered period, obtain the strain data of the heating module. Figure 3 Step S301 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.
[0076] Step S402: Determine whether the heating module meets the preset installation requirements based on the strain data. Figure 3 Step S301 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.
[0077] Step S403: When the heating module meets the preset installation requirements, multiple environmental data and ice coverage data on the surface of the wind turbine blade are obtained. Figure 3 Step S303 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.
[0078] Step S404: controlling the heating module to perform anti-icing or de-icing operations for the wind turbine blades based on the multiple environmental data and ice coverage data.
[0079] Specifically, the above step S404 includes:
[0080] Step S4041, determining the working mode of the heating module based on multiple environmental data and ice coverage data.
[0081] Specifically, the environmental data may be temperature data, humidity data, and the like.
[0082] In an optional implementation, the above step S4041 includes:
[0083] Step a1, compare multiple environmental data with preset environmental thresholds respectively to obtain a first comparison result.
[0084] Step a2, comparing the ice coverage data with a preset ice coverage threshold to obtain a second comparison result.
[0085] Step a3: determining the working mode of the heating module based on the first comparison result and the second comparison result.
[0086] Specifically, by comparing different environmental data and ice coverage data with corresponding threshold values respectively, the current working mode of the heating module 5 can be determined.
[0087] For example, when the ambient temperature is lower than a certain value (such as 2° C.) and the ambient humidity is higher than a certain value (such as relative humidity 85%), the heating module 5 needs to enter the anti-icing mode.
[0088] Furthermore, when the ice sensor detects ice on the blade surface and the ice thickness reaches a certain thickness (such as 2 mm), the heating module 5 needs to enter the de-icing mode, and when the ice layer falls off, it switches to the anti-icing mode.
[0089] Furthermore, when the ambient temperature is higher than a certain value (such as 2° C.) or the ambient humidity is lower than a certain value (such as relative humidity 85%), the heating module 5 is required to exit the anti-icing mode.
[0090] Step S4042: when the working mode is the anti-icing mode, the heating module is controlled to perform anti-icing operation for the blades of the wind turbine.
[0091] Specifically, when it is determined that the heating module 5 needs to enter the anti-icing mode, the heating module 5 is controlled to perform an anti-icing operation on the blades of the wind turbine.
[0092] Step S4043, when the working mode is the de-icing mode, the heating module is controlled to perform de-icing operation on the blades of the wind turbine.
[0093] Specifically, when it is determined that the heating module 5 needs to enter the de-icing mode, the heating module 5 is controlled to perform a de-icing operation on the blades of the wind turbine.
[0094] The wind turbine blade anti-icing method provided in this embodiment can determine whether the wind turbine has an icing period in a preset future time period through the prediction data of the icing state of the wind turbine in a preset future time period. Furthermore, if there is an icing period, the current working mode of the heating module can be determined by obtaining a plurality of environmental data and icing data, and then the heating module can be controlled to perform different operations under different working modes, thereby realizing the anti-icing of the wind turbine. At the same time, it can be determined whether the heating module meets the preset installation requirements by obtaining the strain data of the heating module. Therefore, by implementing the present invention, the anti-icing of the wind turbine is performed by using the heating module during the icing period, which is safer.
[0095] In one example, a wind turbine blade anti-icing device is provided, which is composed of a heating module, a power supply module, a control module and a sensor module.

[0099] Preferably, the heating module is made of a highly elastic and wear-resistant material, which can be tightly wrapped and installed on the surface of the fan blade. After installation, the heating module can cover the entire surface of the fan blade, or only cover the local surface such as the leading edge where ice is severely covered.
[0100] Preferably, the material of the heating module is a fiber material with conductive function, or is inlaid or sprayed with conductive lines. After the heating module is installed, the resistance characteristics of the module with different stretching degrees in different areas can be used to achieve uniform heating of the surface of the wind turbine blade, or focused heating of certain areas.
[0101] In addition, the heating module can also be made of two layers of non-conductive materials, with heating elements embedded in the middle layer, including but not limited to carbon fiber cloth, graphene cloth, resistance wire, etc., which can also achieve uniform heating of the surface of the wind turbine blades, or focus heating of certain areas.
[0102] Preferably, the heating module also has cables, which may include fiber ropes, power supply cables, signal cables, etc. One end of the cable can be fixed to the surface of the blade to respectively install and fix the heating module, power supply, communication, etc.
[0103] Preferably, the sensing module is composed of a number of temperature, icing and other sensors dispersedly installed on the heating module, which can measure the temperature, icing and other state parameters on the surface of the fan blades, and provide feedback information for the operation of the fan blade anti-icing system.
[0104] Preferably, the sensor module may also include a strain measurement function for measuring the strain of certain parts of the heating module after it is installed and fixed, to assist in determining whether the installation of the heating module meets the expected requirements and other information.
[0105] Furthermore, based on the wind turbine blade anti-icing device, a wind turbine blade anti-icing method is provided, and the implementation steps are as follows:
[0106] S1: Install the power supply module and control module of the anti-icing device on the wind turbine;
[0107] S2: Predict the icing conditions of wind turbines in the next few days;
[0108] S3: When it is predicted that ice will appear in the next few days, the unit is shut down, a heating module is installed on the blades of the wind turbine, and the heating module is connected to the power supply module and the control module. After the installation is completed, the unit is put into operation;
[0109] S4: According to the meteorological environment of the wind turbine or the icing monitoring signal, the control module controls the start and stop, heating power and other operating states of the heating module;
[0110] S5: When the icing period has passed, the unit is shut down and the heating module on the wind turbine blades is removed. After the removal is completed, the unit resumes operation.
[0111] Preferably, in step S4, when the ambient temperature is lower than a certain value (such as 2° C.) and the ambient humidity is greater than a certain value (such as relative humidity 85%), the heating module is started to enter the anti-icing mode.
[0112] When the ice sensor detects ice on the blade surface and the ice thickness reaches a certain thickness (such as 2mm), the heating module is controlled to enter the de-icing mode. When the ice layer falls off, it switches to the anti-icing mode.

[0118] The wind turbine blade anti-icing device and method provided in this example achieves anti-icing of the wind turbine blades by installing a detachable wearable heating module on the outer surface of the wind turbine blades. The method directly lays the heating module on the outer surface of the wind turbine blades, and has a high heating and deicing efficiency. The heating module is only installed on the blade surface during the icing period and is detachable at other times, which has little impact on the wind turbine. Since there are fewer lightning strikes in winter, there is no risk of lightning induction and the safety is high. The heating module is reusable, easy to maintain, and has strong versatility and good economy.
