[0050] The core of the present invention is to provide a method and system for positioning the yaw direction of a wind turbine, which obtains the geographical orientation angle of the cabin based on the deviation angle and the geographical direction angle, avoids interference from the strong electric field and magnetic field environment of the cabin itself, and realizes automatic and accurate output of the geographical angle of the direction of the baseline of the measurement equipment.

[0051] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a first specific embodiment of a method for positioning the yaw direction of a wind turbine provided by the present invention; the specific operation steps are as follows:

[0053] Step S101: Acquire sunlight;

[0054] Step S102: obtaining a deviation angle of an incident light beam relative to a reference direction based on the sunlight;

[0055] The step of obtaining a deviation angle of the incident light beam relative to a reference direction based on the sunlight comprises:

[0056] Take sunlight as a parallel light source. When the light enters the device, it is projected onto another photosensitive element on the inner wall. The angle formed by the line connecting the two photosensitive elements and the device baseline is the deviation angle between the light and the device baseline. The deviation angle of the incident light beam relative to the reference direction is obtained by using the ratio of the serial number difference of the two photosensitive elements through which the light passes to the total number.

[0057] Step S103: Calculate the current sun direction angle based on the point coordinates and the current time;

[0058] The calculation of the current sun direction angle based on the point coordinates and the current time includes:

[0059] Get the solar declination angle based on the current time;

[0060] Calculating the solar zenith angle using the solar declination angle, solar hour angle and local latitude;

[0061] A solar azimuth angle is obtained based on the solar zenith angle.

[0062] The solar zenith angle calculation formula is:

[0063]

[0064] The solar azimuth angle calculation formula is:

[0065]

[0066] in, is the local latitude, δ is the solar declination angle, ω is the solar hour angle, and α is the solar altitude angle.

[0067] Step S104: acquiring the geographic orientation angle of the nacelle based on the deviation angle and the sun direction angle.

[0068] The acquiring of the geographic orientation angle of the nacelle based on the deviation angle and the sun direction angle comprises:

[0069] Determine the magnitude of the deviation angle and the sun direction angle;

[0070] If the deviation angle is greater than the sun direction angle, the nacelle geographic orientation angle is the difference between the deviation angle and the sun direction angle;

[0071] If the deviation angle is smaller than the sun direction angle, the nacelle geographic orientation angle is 360 minus the difference between the deviation angle and the sun direction angle.

[0072] This embodiment provides a method for positioning the yaw direction of a wind turbine. The true geographical direction angle of the sun's sunlight at that moment is calculated through the sun trajectory formula, and the geographical orientation angle of the cabin is obtained based on the deviation angle and the geographical direction angle. The measurement means adopted is sunlight, and its principle does not involve means that are easily interfered with, such as magnetic fields and electric fields. It can avoid interference caused by the strong electric field and magnetic field environment of the cabin itself, and realize automatic and accurate output of the geographical angle of the direction of the measurement equipment baseline.

[0073] Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment describes a method for positioning a wind turbine in the yaw direction. Figure 2 As shown, the details are as follows:

[0074] The core of this method is to obtain the deviation angle θ based on the angle between the direction of the light generated after the sunlight enters the sensitive element inside the measuring device and the reference direction inside the measuring device, and the direction information of the sun can be used to infer the true geographical direction angle β of the sunlight at that moment through the sun trajectory formula. Assuming the true orientation angle γ of the baseline of the measuring device, if θ≥β, then γ=θ-β; if θ≤β, then γ=360-(β-θ). In actual use, the baseline of the measuring device is installed parallel to the center axis of the cabin, and the geographical orientation angle γ of the cabin can be obtained at this time.

[0075] like Figure 3 As shown, 360 photosensitive elements are evenly distributed at the bottom of the measuring device, that is, one photosensitive element is distributed per degree; the measuring device baseline must pass through the photosensitive element at one of the light holes, and the numbering starts from the photosensitive element at the other end of the measuring device baseline, and then the 360 ​​photosensitive elements are numbered counterclockwise; after the incident light enters the measuring device through the light hole, the photosensitive element at the light hole and another photosensitive element on the inner wall of the device receive the photosensitive signal, and the numbers of these two photosensitive elements are taken; find the number of the photosensitive element where the incident light is finally projected inside the measuring device, if the number is greater than 180, then subtract the number from 360 to get the angle between the incident light and the measuring device baseline; if the number is less than 180, then subtract the number from 180 to get the angle between the incident light and the measuring device baseline. If there are two incident light rays, take the larger number of the photosensitive element that is finally projected.

[0076] The azimuth of the sun can be obtained through the sun trajectory formula. The input parameters are the geographical longitude and latitude of the measurement point and the measurement time information. Then the geographical azimuth angle of the direct sunlight from the sun at this location at this time can be obtained. The specific formula is as follows:

[0077] The formula for calculating the solar zenith angle is:

[0078]

[0079] The formula for calculating the solar azimuth is:

[0080]

[0081] in, is the local latitude, δ is the solar declination angle, ω is the solar hour angle, and α is the solar altitude angle;

[0082] The formula for calculating the solar hour angle is:

[0083] ω=(ST-12)*15

[0084] Among them, true solar time ST = Beijing time + 4*(120-local longitude), 120 is the longitude of Beijing, ST in the northern hemisphere is negative in the morning and positive in the afternoon.

[0085] E=229.183*(0.000043+0.002061*cos(B)-0.03204*sin(B)-0.014974*cos(2*B)-0.040685*sin(2*B))

[0086] B=(n-1)*360 / 365

[0087] Solar declination angle is calculated on a daily basis:

[0088] δ=0.006894-0.399512*cos(B)+0.072075*sin(B)-0.006799*cos(2*B)+0.000896*sin(2*B)-0.002689*cos(3*B)+0.001516*sin(3*B)

[0089] The solar hour angle and solar declination angle need to be converted into radians during the calculation process.

[0090] The device provided by this method has a built-in GPS and Beidou positioning system receiver, which can automatically obtain the geographical coordinate information and time information of the installation point. At the same time, the device also supports the function of manually entering the installation coordinates.

[0091] After obtaining the true geographic angle β of the direct incident light, determine the size relationship between θ and β. If θ ≥ β, then γ = θ - β; if θ < β, then γ = 360 - (β - θ), where the conversion process is as follows: Figure 4 , Figure 5 shown.

[0092] A method for positioning the yaw direction of a wind turbine is provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The method can realize automatic and accurate output of the geographical angle of the orientation of the measurement equipment baseline. When the installation is consistent with the center line of the cabin, the output is the geographical angle of the orientation of the cabin, thereby solving the problem of measuring the orientation angle of the cabin. The measurement means adopted is sunlight, and its principle does not involve means that are easily interfered with, such as magnetic fields and electric fields, and can avoid interference from the strong electric field and magnetic field environment of the cabin itself. The observation equipment adopted has a simple structure, is easy to install, and has a small size. It can be installed in different wind turbine cabins and can be used for multiple machines multiple times, thereby greatly reducing the cost of the wind farm for all wind turbines in the sector management process.

[0093] like Figure 6 As shown, based on the above embodiment, this embodiment describes a wind turbine yaw direction positioning system, including:

[0094] The cylindrical shell is composed of a light-shielding film, and the wall has three vertical light-intake slits for capturing sunlight. The central angle between each two adjacent slits on the cylindrical shell is 120 degrees. When the sun shines on the measuring device, the light can only enter the device from two or one of the three slits. The light beam entering the device is projected as a line of light at the bottom of the device, which will be captured by the photosensors at the beginning and end of the line. Three light-intake slits are designed on the light-shielding film on the wall of the measuring device. They can more intuitively detect the trajectory of the incident light after entering the measuring device. If there are more than three light-intake slits, there will be too much incident light, resulting in a larger workload for subsequent calculations. If there are less than three light-intake slits, sunlight will not be able to enter the measuring device under certain conditions, and the light will not be able to be measured.

[0095] Photosensitive elements are arranged around the bottom of the cylindrical shell to capture the projection of the sunlight. The photosensitive elements have internal numbers and use the ratio of the difference in serial numbers of the two photosensitive elements through which the light passes to the total number to obtain the angle between the light and the baseline.

[0096] When selecting and using photosensors, the following aspects need to be considered:

[0097] Photosensors are highly sensitive to light signals and can capture low-intensity light signals.

[0098] Fast response: Photosensitive elements can respond quickly to light signals, enabling high-speed data acquisition and processing.

[0099] Low power consumption: Photosensitive components usually have low power consumption characteristics and can work under the requirements of energy saving and environmental protection.

[0100] A positioning device, arranged at the bottom of the cylindrical housing, for obtaining geographic coordinate information and time information of the system installation point;

[0101] A processor is arranged at the bottom of the cylindrical housing, connected to the photosensitive element and the positioning device through a transmission device, and calculates the geographic orientation angle of the cabin based on the angle between the projection of the sunlight and the equipment baseline;

[0102] The sun is far away from the measuring device and the receiver area is small, so the sunlight can be treated as a parallel light source. After the light enters the device, it is projected onto another photosensitive element on the inner wall. The angle between the line connecting the two photosensitive elements and the baseline is the deviation angle between the light and the device baseline. The photosensitive element at the bottom has an internal number. The angle between the light and the baseline can be calculated by the ratio of the difference in the serial numbers of the two photosensitive elements passed by the light to the total number.

[0103] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, there are two cases when the incident light enters the light-entry slits. The first case: the incident light is projected from a certain direction through two light-entry slits into the bottom of the device, and irradiates a total of four photosensitive elements in front and behind the two light-entry holes on the inner wall. At this time, the direction of the light is determined by any one of the two incident light rays (the two incident light rays are parallel). The other type of incident light is projected into the bottom of the device through a light-entry hole. At this time, only two photosensitive elements will receive the incident light. The angle between the incident light and the measurement reference line can be calculated by the following photosensitive element numbers.

[0104] The method for measuring the deviation angle is mainly to capture and measure the direction of the incident light through two photosensitive elements. This step is to obtain the angle θ between the incident sunlight and the measurement reference line.

[0105] A storage device, connected to the processor, for storing and processing the geographic orientation angle of the cabin;

[0106] A power supply device is connected to the processor, the storage device, the positioning device and the photosensitive element, and is used to provide power.

[0107] A wind turbine yaw direction positioning system provided by an embodiment of the present invention calculates the angle between sunlight and a baseline inside a measuring device, and solves the geographical angle of the device baseline by combining the angle between sunlight and the device baseline with the geographical azimuth angle of the sun, thereby automatically and accurately outputting the geographical angle of the device baseline. The measuring means adopted by the present invention is sunlight, and its principle does not involve means susceptible to interference such as magnetic fields and electric fields, and can avoid interference caused by the strong electric field and magnetic field environment of the cabin itself. The observation equipment of this system has a simple structure, is easy to install, and has a small size. It can be installed in different wind turbine cabins and can be used for multiple machines multiple times, which greatly reduces the cost of sector management for all wind turbines in a wind farm.
