[0002] Wind farms are often located high in the mountains. Due to the influence of micro-topography and micro-climate conditions, wind turbine blades are extremely susceptible to ice formation. Icing on wind turbine blades not only affects the blades' aerodynamic performance, thereby reducing the turbine's power generation efficiency, but also endangers the safety of the wind turbine itself, as well as nearby personnel and equipment, posing a significant threat. To accurately determine the icing status of wind turbine blades, blade icing monitoring is necessary. Currently, there are three main methods for monitoring wind turbine blade icing: First, using meteorological data and wind turbine power curves to determine whether blades are iced; second, installing sensors or observation devices on the wind turbine nacelle to indirectly determine or observe whether blades are iced; and third, installing vibration sensors on the blades to determine ice formation based on changes in blade vibration characteristics. None of these methods accurately capture information such as the thickness of ice on the blade surface, making it difficult to accurately guide wind turbine startup, shutdown, and de-icing operations. Furthermore, installing sensors on the outer surface of wind turbine blades is difficult to route and requires thin sensors, minimizing the impact on blade aerodynamic performance.

[0024] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] In related technologies, there are three main methods for monitoring wind turbine blade icing. The first is to determine whether the wind turbine blades are iced by using meteorological data and wind turbine power curves. The second is to indirectly determine or observe whether the wind turbine blades are iced by installing sensors or observation devices on the wind turbine nacelle. The third is to install vibration sensors on the wind turbine blades and determine whether ice is formed by observing changes in the blade vibration characteristics. None of the above methods can accurately obtain information such as the thickness of ice on the wind turbine blade surface, and cannot accurately guide the start-up and shutdown of wind turbines and the implementation of de-icing operations. In addition, installing sensors on the outer surface of wind turbine blades is difficult to wire, and the sensors must be thin, which has little impact on the aerodynamic performance of the blades.

[0026] In view of this, an ice thickness detection device provided in an embodiment of the present application realizes accurate detection of ice thickness, solving the problem in related technologies that the thickness of ice on wind turbine blades cannot be monitored.

[0027] In this embodiment, an ice thickness detection device is provided. Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a structural block diagram of an ice thickness detection device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the device includes: an ice layer detection sensor 1, a temperature sensor 2 and a control module 3.

[0028] The ice layer detection sensor 1 is used to detect the icing data of the ice layer. The ice layer detection sensor is a multi-electrode sensor of the target parameter. Exemplarily, the ice layer detection sensor is a multi-electrode sensor of the target parameter. In the embodiment of the present application, the multi-electrode sensor may include but is not limited to an interdigital electrode sensor. The interdigital electrode sensor mainly includes four structural parameters, namely: the number of pairs of interdigital electrode pairs, the width of the interdigits, the gap distance between adjacent interdigits, and the thickness of the interdigital electrodes. The multi-electrode sensor uses rectangular interdigital electrodes or circular interdigital electrodes, and the size, spacing, and number of the electrodes are determined according to actual needs.

[0029] The temperature sensor 2 is used to detect the temperature data of the ice layer. The control module 3 is connected to the ice layer detection sensor 1 and the temperature sensor 2 respectively, and is used to analyze the freezing data and the temperature data of the ice layer to determine the thickness information of the ice layer.

[0030] In some optional embodiments, the device further includes a power supply module, which is respectively connected to the ice detection sensor 1, the temperature sensor 2, and the control module 3, and is used to supply power 3 to the ice detection sensor 1, the temperature sensor 2, and the control module. For example, the power supply module can be composed of a flexible solar cell and a flexible storage battery.

[0031] In some optional embodiments, the device further includes a communication module, connected to the ice detection sensor, temperature sensor, control module, and power supply module, for transmitting ice formation data, ice temperature data, and ice thickness information to a display terminal. For example, the communication module may include, but is not limited to, wired and wireless communication modules; the display terminal may include, but is not limited to, a mobile phone or tablet computer. The present application does not limit the specific content of the display terminal, as long as it can meet the display requirements.

[0032] Specifically, the ice thickness detection device provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes a vibration sensor and a base. The vibration sensor is used to detect the vibration information of the wind turbine blades. The icing condition of the wind turbine blades can be judged based on the vibration information. The base is a flexible film, which is used to fix the ice sensor, temperature sensor, vibration sensor, power supply module, communication module, control module and the wires therebetween, and is used to be pasted on the surface of the monitored object.

[0033] Specifically, the target parameters include the target number of electrode pairs, the target electrode width and the target electrode gap. The preset electrode width to gap ratio information is determined through the following steps: using the preset sensor simulation model to simulate the ice detection performance of the ice detection sensor under different electrode gaps, different electrode widths, different electrode width to gap ratios, different electrode lengths and different detection area areas, to obtain the change law of the ice detection performance of the ice detection sensor; based on the change law of the ice detection performance of the ice detection sensor, the preset electrode width to gap ratio information is determined.

[0034] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the preset electrode width to gap ratio information can be 1. A finite element simulation analysis model of a multi-electrode sensor is established, and the model includes capacitors, sensor bases, ice layers, etc. The schematic diagram of the finite element simulation analysis model of the multi-electrode sensor is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the simulation analysis model parameters are set, including the parameters of the capacitor, base, and ice layer material properties. For example, the capacitor electrode material is copper, the relative dielectric constant of air is 1, the relative dielectric constant of the base is 4.2, and the relative dielectric constant of the ice layer is 3.1. In order to evaluate the performance of detecting ice thickness, two indicators, sensor signal strength and sensitivity, are defined to evaluate sensor performance. Signal strength is the size of the capacitance value measured by the sensor. Sensitivity is defined as the degree to which the capacitance value changes with the thickness of the ice. Its calculation formula is shown in the following formula (1):

[0035]

[0036] Among them, S represents the sensor sensitivity, C h+Δh Indicates the capacitance value when the ice thickness is h+Δh, C hIt represents the capacitance value when the ice thickness is h, and Δh represents the change in ice thickness.

[0037] When the multi-electrode sensor is an interdigitated electrode sensor, the electrode width is the interdigit width, the number of electrode pairs is the number of interdigit pairs, and the electrode width-to-gap ratio is the interdigit width-to-gap ratio. Simulation analysis of the sensor's ice detection performance at different electrode widths and photoelectrode gaps, assuming a fixed sensor detection area, confirms that as the interdigit width or interdigit gap increases, the capacitance decreases and the signal strength weakens. Analysis of the sensor's ice detection performance at different electrode width-to-gap ratios confirms that as the interdigit width-to-gap ratio increases, the sensor's capacitance and sensitivity first increase and then decrease. A ratio of 1-2 achieves good capacitance and sensitivity.

[0038] Under the premise of a fixed sensor detection area, simulation analysis of the sensor's ice detection performance with different numbers of electrodes and different electrode lengths confirmed that when the ratio of interdigit width to gap is 1, and under the premise of a fixed sensor detection area, as the interdigit width increases, the number of interdigit pairs decreases, the capacitance decreases, and the sensitivity increases. When the ratio of interdigit width to gap is 1, under the premise of a fixed sensor detection area, the length-to-width transformation increases, the number of interdigit pairs decreases, the capacitance increases, and the sensitivity decreases.

[0039] Simulation analysis reveals how the sensor's ice detection performance changes by increasing the number of finger pairs and the detection area by increasing the finger width. It confirms that when the ratio of finger width to gap is 1, increasing the detection area by increasing the number of finger pairs increases the capacitance, but the sensitivity does not change significantly. However, increasing the detection area by increasing the finger width decreases the capacitance, but increases the sensitivity. The sensor's capacitance and sensitivity must be greater than the resolution of the acquisition circuit. When designing the sensor, it's important to balance signal strength and sensitivity, maximizing signal strength while meeting sensitivity requirements. Given a specified sensor sensitivity and range, the above simulation steps and patterns allow for the optimal design of sensor structural parameters such as the size of the sensitive unit, finger width, finger gap, and number of finger pairs.

[0040] The target number of electrode pairs, target electrode width, and target electrode gap are determined by the following steps:

[0041] Step a1, obtaining target sensitivity information, preset range information, preset detection area information, and preset electrode width to gap ratio information of the multi-electrode sensor.

[0042] For example, in the embodiments of the present application, target sensitivity information can be determined based on demand, preset range information is used to represent the ice thickness range that the interdigital sensor can detect, preset detection area information is determined based on the actual size of the interdigital sensor, and preset electrode width to gap ratio information can also be determined based on actual demand. The number of interdigital pairs is used to represent the number of interdigital electrode pairs, and the interdigital gap is used to represent the gap distance between adjacent interdigits.

[0043] Step a2: Determine the number of multiple electrode pairs to be measured based on the change pattern of the ice detection performance of the ice layer detection sensor, input the preset range information, preset detection area information, preset electrode width and gap ratio information, and the number of each electrode pair to be measured into a pre-built sensor simulation model for simulation, and obtain the sensitivity information corresponding to each electrode pair to be measured.

[0044] For example, in an embodiment of the present application, different numbers of electrode pairs to be tested, preset range information, preset detection area information, and preset electrode width to gap ratio information are input into a sensor simulation model for simulation, and the sensitivity information corresponding to each number of electrode pairs to be tested can be determined.

[0045] Step a3: determining the number of electrode pairs that meet preset requirements from the multiple electrode pairs to be tested based on the sensitivity information corresponding to the multiple electrode pairs to be tested and the target sensitivity information.

[0046] Exemplarily, in an embodiment of the present application, if the sensitivity information of the electrode pair n to be tested is greater than or equal to the target sensitivity information, then it is determined whether the sensitivity information of the electrode pair n+Δn to be tested is greater than or equal to the target sensitivity information, until the sensitivity information is less than the target sensitivity information, then the last electrode pair to be tested that makes the sensitivity greater than or equal to the target sensitivity information is taken as the target electrode pair.

[0047] In step a4, if the signal strength of the ice layer detection sensor corresponding to the number of electrode pairs that meets the preset requirement meets the preset anti-interference requirement, the number of electrode pairs that meets the preset requirement is used as the target number of electrode pairs.

[0048] The target electrode width and the target electrode gap are determined based on the target number of electrode pairs and preset electrode width to gap ratio information.

[0049] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, when the cross indexes of the two plates are not equal, the target electrode width is calculated by the following formula (2):

[0050]

[0051] When the cross indexes of the two plates are equal, the target electrode width is calculated by the following formula (3):

[0052]

[0053] Where L is the length of the plate, n is the cross index of the plate, and γ = w / a is the ratio of the electrode width to the gap. When the cross indexes of the two plates are not equal, n is the cross index of the plate on the side with more cross fingers.

[0054] In some optional embodiments, if the signal strength of the ice layer detection sensor corresponding to the number of electrode pairs that meet the preset requirements does not meet the preset anti-interference requirements, the preset detection area is increased to obtain an adjusted detection area; based on the adjusted detection area, the sensitivity information and signal strength information of the ice layer detection sensor corresponding to each electrode pair to be tested are simulated and calculated until the signal strength of the ice layer detection sensor corresponding to the number of electrode pairs that meet the preset requirements meets the preset anti-interference requirements, and the number of electrode pairs that meet the preset requirements is used as the target number of electrode pairs.

[0055] In this embodiment, if the sensor signal strength after determining the number of interdigital pairs meets the sensor anti-interference requirements, the design is complete. If it does not meet the requirements, the detection area is increased by S + Δs ​​and the simulation is repeated. By increasing the number of interdigital pairs, the detection area is increased, so that the sensor signal strength meets the sensor anti-interference requirements.

[0056] Specifically, when the sensing area is 3.8cm*6.1cm and the ratio of interdigital width to gap is 1, assuming the ice sensor sensitivity is required to be no less than 1*10-2pF / mm and the measuring range is no less than 10mm, simulations were performed with interdigital pairs of 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16, respectively, without changing the sensing area. The calculation shows that when the number of interdigital pairs is 6, the sensitivity when measuring 11mm thick ice is 1.05*10-2pF / mm, and the signal strength is 16.007pF. Therefore, the number of interdigital pairs of this sensor is 6, and the interdigital width and gap are 2.9048mm.

[0057] The ice layer thickness detection device of this embodiment is the same. The ice layer detection data collected by the ice layer detection sensor will change with the thickness and temperature of the ice layer. The control module is used to analyze the ice layer freezing data and the ice layer temperature data to accurately determine the thickness information of the ice layer, thereby realizing accurate detection of the ice layer thickness. The parameter information of the ice layer detection sensor is determined through simulation, making the detection result of the ice layer detection sensor more accurate, solving the problem in related technologies that the thickness of the ice layer on the wind turbine blades cannot be monitored.

[0058] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a method for detecting ice thickness is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowcharts 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 flowcharts, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0059] In this embodiment, a method for detecting ice thickness is provided, which can be used in the controller of the ice thickness detection device of the above embodiment. Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for detecting ice thickness according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0060] Step S301: acquiring target freezing data and target temperature data of the ice layer.

[0061] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the target icing data is sensor data detected by the ice layer detection sensor, and the target temperature data is ice layer temperature sensor data collected by the temperature sensor.

[0062] Step S302: extracting the correlation information between the freezing data and the ice thickness at the target temperature based on the target temperature data.

[0063] For example, the correlation information between the freezing data and the ice layer thickness is different at different temperatures. In an embodiment of the present application, the correlation information between the freezing data and the ice layer thickness can be a correspondence table between the freezing data and the ice layer thickness data. The correspondence between the freezing data and the ice layer thickness data can be determined through simulation or experiment.

[0064] Step S303 : determining the thickness information of the ice layer based on the correlation information between the icing data and the ice layer thickness at the target temperature and the target icing data.

[0065] For example, based on the correlation information between the icing data and the ice thickness at the target temperature, the ice thickness data corresponding to the target icing data may be determined.

[0066] The ice thickness detection method provided in this embodiment determines the ice thickness information based on the correlation information between the freezing data and the ice thickness at the target temperature and the target freezing data, thereby achieving accurate detection of the ice thickness and solving the problem in related technologies of being unable to monitor the ice thickness on wind turbine blades.
