Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0064] With the trend towards larger wind turbines, ultra-long blades, ultra-heavy nacelles, and ultra-high towers present innovative design bottlenecks for the overall structure and load. In the current design of key components such as blades, hubs, nacelles, and towers, the load safety factor can only be taken as the standard value of 1.35. This results in design redundancy that is difficult to optimize, leading to a large overall weight and making it impossible to achieve optimal balance between reliability and cost. Therefore, how to adjust the overall load safety factor of wind turbines to improve their structural design and optimization is a problem that needs to be solved in this field.

[0065] See Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for adjusting the overall load safety factor of a wind turbine, which may specifically include:

[0066] Step S11: Obtain the structural parameters and state parameters of the wind turbine.

[0067] In this embodiment, the process for obtaining the structural parameters and state parameters of the wind turbine is as follows: The structural parameters of the wind turbine are obtained from the Bladed wind turbine model; these parameters include blade nodal positions, blade mass distribution per unit length, blade cone angle, drive train tilt angle, hub mass, hub radius, hub center of gravity position, nacelle mass, nacelle center of gravity position, tower mass, and tower mass distribution; the state parameters of the wind turbine are obtained from the simulation results data of the Bladed wind turbine model; these parameters include blade nodal coordinates, blade pitch angle, nacelle motion, and rotor azimuth angle.

[0068] Step S12: Calculate the six-component gravity load of the blade in the tower base coordinate system based on the structural parameters and the state parameters, and convert the six-component gravity load of the blade into the six-component gravity load of the blade in the blade root coordinate system through the tower base-blade root coordinate system transformation matrix.

[0069] Since the blade nodal coordinates describe the blade nodal motion information in the tower base coordinate system, they can reflect the influence of blade deformation on the blade's gravitational load. For a certain node j of the blade, the gravitational load on each blade segment from that point to the blade tip is the six-component gravitational load of the blade in the tower base coordinate system:

[0070]

[0071] in, The total gravitational load on the blade segments from a certain node j to the blade tip is given by the blade. The six-component gravity load of the blade is given in the coordinate system at the base of the tower; n is the number of blade nodes; n-1 is the number of blade segments; i is a certain blade segment from node j to the blade tip, i = j, j+1, ..., n-1; m i x represents the mass of a segment of the blade. i , y i represents the centroid coordinate of a segment of the blade; x j y j Let be the coordinates of blade node j; g is the gravity coefficient.

[0072] In this embodiment, the process of converting the six-component gravity load of the blade into the six-component gravity load of the blade in the blade root coordinate system is as follows: Using the structural parameters, construct coordinate transformation matrices representing the drive train tilt angle and the blade cone angle; using the state parameters, construct coordinate transformation matrices representing the nacelle motion, the rotor rotation, and the pitch angle; considering nacelle motion, drive train tilt angle, rotor rotation, blade cone angle, and blade pitch, convert the six-component gravity load of the blade in the tower base coordinate system into the six-component gravity load of the blade in the blade root coordinate system through each of the coordinate transformation matrices; therefore, the six-component gravity load of the blade in the blade root coordinate system is:

[0073]

[0074] Among them, A TN A is the coordinate transformation matrix characterizing the cabin motion; NH A is the coordinate transformation matrix characterizing the inclination angle of the transmission chain; SR A is the coordinate transformation matrix representing the rotation of the wind turbine; RC A is the coordinate transformation matrix characterizing the blade cone angle; CB The coordinate transformation matrix representing the pitch angle; F B M B The six-component gravity load of the blade is given in the blade root coordinate system.

[0075] Step S13: Convert the six-component gravity load of the blade from the blade root coordinate system to the rotating hub coordinate system, convert the hub gravity calculated based on the structural parameters from the tower base coordinate system to the rotating hub coordinate system, and superimpose them to obtain the six-component gravity load of the hub in the rotating hub coordinate system.

[0076] In this embodiment, considering blade pitch, blade cone angle, and hub radius, based on the moment translation theorem, the six-component gravity load of the blade calculated in step S12 is transformed from the blade root coordinate system to the rotating hub coordinate system. The hub gravity is calculated based on the hub mass, hub radius, and hub center of gravity position in the structural parameters. The hub gravity is then transformed from the tower base coordinate system to the rotating hub coordinate system. Considering nacelle motion, transmission chain tilt angle, and rotor rotation, the six-component gravity load of the blade and the hub gravity in the rotating hub coordinate system are superimposed. Finally, the six-component gravity load of the hub in the rotating hub coordinate system is calculated using the blade root-rotor coordinate system transformation matrix. The six-component gravity load of the hub in the rotating hub coordinate system is:

[0077]

[0078] Among them, F Rx F Ry F Rz M Rx M Ry M Rz F″ represents the six-component gravity load of the hub in the rotating hub coordinate system. x1 、F″ y1 、F″ z1 M″ x1 M″ y1 M″ z1 F″ represents the six-component gravity load on the first blade in the rotating hub coordinate system. x2 、F″ y2 、F″ z2 M″ x2 M″ y2 M″z2 F″ represents the six-component gravity load on the second blade in rotating hub coordinates. x3 、F″ y3 、F″ z3 M″ x3 M″ y3 M″ z3 The blade six-component gravity load is given in the rotating hub coordinate system. This represents the gravitational load generated by the hub mass in the rotating hub coordinate system.

[0079] Step S14: Convert the six-component gravity load of the hub in the rotating hub coordinate system into the six-component gravity load of the hub in the fixed hub coordinate system.

[0080] In this embodiment, considering the change in the wind turbine azimuth angle, the hub gravity load in the rotating hub coordinate system is transformed into the six-component hub gravity load in the fixed hub coordinate system as follows:

[0081]

[0082] Among them, F Sx F Sy F Sz M Sx M Sy M Sz The six-component gravity load of the wheel hub is defined in a fixed hub coordinate system; θ azi This is the azimuth angle of the wind turbine.

[0083] Step S15: Combining the six-component gravity load of the hub in the fixed hub coordinate system and the nacelle mass in the structural parameters, calculate the six-component gravity load of the tower top in the tower top coordinate system using the wind turbine-tower top coordinate system transformation matrix.

[0084] In this embodiment, considering the hub center of gravity position and drive train tilt angle, based on the torque translation theorem, the six-component gravity load of the hub obtained in step S14 is transformed from the fixed hub coordinate system to the tower top coordinate system. Considering the nacelle motion, the nacelle mass is transformed from the tower base coordinate system to the tower top coordinate system, and the gravitational torque generated by the nacelle mass at the tower top is calculated considering the nacelle center of gravity position. The six-component gravity load of the hub, the nacelle mass, and the gravitational torque in the tower top coordinate system are superimposed, and the six-component gravity load at the tower top coordinate system is calculated using the wind turbine-tower top coordinate system transformation matrix; the six-component gravity load at the tower top coordinate system is:

[0085]

[0086] Among them, F Nx F Ny F Nz M NxM Ny M Nz F′ represents the six-component gravity load at the top of the tower in the tower top coordinate system. Sx F′ Sy F′ Sz M′ Sx M′ Sy M′ Sz The six-component gravity load of the wheel hub in the tower top coordinate system; m Nac For cabin weight; θ Roll θ Nod For cabin roll angle and pitch angle; l x l y This refers to the longitudinal and lateral positions of the cabin's center of gravity.

[0087] Step S16: Combining the six-component gravity load at the top of the tower and the tower mass in the structural parameters, calculate the six-component gravity load of the tower at any cross-section in the tower base coordinate system using the tower top-to-tower base coordinate system transformation matrix.

[0088] In this embodiment, based on the moment translation theorem, the six-component gravity load at the top of the tower is transformed from the top coordinate system to the bottom coordinate system. Considering the nacelle motion and superimposing the tower mass in the structural parameters, the six-component gravity load of the tower at any cross-section in the bottom coordinate system is calculated using the top-to-bottom coordinate system transformation matrix. The six-component gravity load of the tower at any cross-section in the bottom coordinate system is:

[0089]

[0090] Among them, F Tx F Ty F Tz M Tx M Ty M Tz Let H be the six-component gravity load of the tower at any cross-section in the tower base coordinate system; H be the total height of the tower; and h be the height of a certain cross-section of the tower. denoted as , where is the tower weight above the corresponding cross-section; g is the gravity coefficient.

[0091] Step S17: Adjust the overall load safety factor of the wind turbine based on the six-component gravity load of the blade, the six-component gravity load of the hub, the six-component gravity load of the tower top, and the six-component gravity load of the tower.

[0092] In this embodiment, the load safety factor of key components of the entire wind turbine is adjusted based on the six-component gravity loads of the blades, hub, tower top, and tower. Gravity load, as a deterministic load in a wind turbine, can be separately measured and considered in the limit state equations of the turbine based on probabilistic design, distinguishing it from the highly uncertain aerodynamic loads, thereby adjusting the load safety factor while ensuring target reliability. The premise for adjusting the load safety factor based on gravity load is that the gravity load must be an unfavorable load, meaning that the gravity load aggravates the total load effect, and the total load effect is detrimental to structural components. Based on the gravity load sequence of the blades, hub, tower top, and tower obtained in steps S12-S16, the safety factor of each load component can be adjusted as follows:

[0093] γ f =1.1+0.25ξ 2 ;

[0094]

[0095] Among them, F gravity The blades, hub, tower top, and tower frame are any component of the six-component gravity load, F k Let be any component of the corresponding six-component total load. Therefore, the component load timing with the adjusted safety factor is ζF. k Based on this, the ultimate load of the components is statistically obtained, enabling component load verification and overall cost reduction design.

[0096] In this embodiment, the process for adjusting the overall load safety factor of the wind turbine is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, (1) obtain the structural parameters and state parameters of the wind turbine; (2) calculate the six-component gravity load of the blade in the tower base coordinate system based on the blade node coordinates in the state parameters, considering the nacelle motion, transmission chain tilt angle, wind turbine rotation, blade cone angle, and blade pitch, and convert the six-component gravity load of the blade from the tower base coordinate system to the blade root coordinate system through the tower base-blade root coordinate system transformation matrix to obtain the six-component gravity load of the blade in the blade root coordinate system. Figure 3 Compare the time history curves of the blade root Mx load and its gravity load components in the blade root coordinate system; (3) Convert the blade six-component gravity load from the blade root coordinate system to the rotating hub coordinate system, calculate the hub gravity, convert the hub gravity from the tower bottom coordinate system to the rotating hub coordinate system, superimpose the blade six-component gravity load and the hub gravity, obtain the hub six-component gravity load in the rotating hub coordinate system through the blade root-wind turbine coordinate system transformation matrix, and then consider the wind turbine phase angle change to obtain the hub six-component gravity load in the fixed hub coordinate system; Figure 4For the comparison of the time history curves of the hub Fx load and its gravity load components under the rotating hub coordinate system; (4) Considering the center of gravity positions of the hub and the engine room, the six-component gravity load of the hub is converted from the fixed hub coordinate system to the tower top coordinate system, the gravity of the engine room at the tower top and the gravity moment generated are calculated, and the hub gravity load and the engine room gravity and gravity moment are superimposed to obtain the six-component gravity load of the tower top under the tower top coordinate system; Figure 5 Compare the time history curves of the My load and its gravity load components at the top of the tower in the tower top coordinate system; (5) Considering the motion of the engine room, based on the moment translation theorem, the six-component gravity load at the top of the tower is converted from the tower top coordinate system to the tower bottom coordinate system, and the gravity generated by the weight of the tower is superimposed to obtain the six-component gravity load of the tower at any section in the tower bottom coordinate system. Figure 6 Compare the time history curves of the Fz load at the base of the tower and its gravity load components in the coordinate system at the base of the tower; (6) Based on the gravity load time sequence of the blade, hub, tower top and tower obtained by the above calculation, adjust the load safety factor of the key components of the whole machine. The gravity load of each component obtained by the above calculation has strengthened the total load effect of the component, which is harmful to the component. Therefore, the gravity load is an unfavorable load.
