Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wind power generation simulation, and in particular to a method, device, equipment and storage medium for calculating the ice coverage range of wind turbine blades. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, wind power has become a vital component of global renewable energy. Wind power technology continues to improve and innovate, with advancements such as increasing turbine height, improving efficiency, reducing costs, and ensuring reliable safety. However, statistics show that icing is a major problem facing wind power generation, resulting in significant losses each year.

[0003] To investigate methods for preventing and controlling icing on wind turbine blades, extensive research has been conducted on the mechanisms and influencing factors of icing on wind turbine blades. Ice on wind turbine blades is primarily concentrated on the leading edge, formed primarily by the collision and freezing of supercooled water droplets in the air. The extent and morphology of ice on wind turbine blades vary significantly under varying wind speeds, temperatures, and median droplet diameters. Wind turbine icing protection systems are generally categorized into two types: anti-icing and de-icing. Anti-icing aims to prevent the formation and persistence of ice on surfaces, while de-icing allows a small amount of ice to accumulate before the de-icing system is activated. Based on various principles, the main approaches include: 1) the use of waterproof, anti-icing, and black coatings; 2) active shutdown, which involves shutting down the wind turbine before an icing event occurs to minimize icing and enable rapid restart after the event. 3) hot air technology, which utilizes the hollow structure within the blades to heat air at the blade root and direct it to the blade tip, where protection is most needed, to prevent and de-ice wind turbines. 4) Electromagnetic pulse technology. A post-capacitor group is used to instantaneously discharge the electromagnetic coil installed under the metal skin of the wind turbine blade, thereby forming an electromagnetic eddy current field on the metal skin and generating a transient electromagnetic force. This electromagnetic force causes the skin to vibrate rapidly and causes the ice layer to deform, thereby breaking and falling off. 5) Ultrasonic and low-frequency vibration technology. Based on the weak shear strength of the contact surface between the ice layer and the blade, piezoelectric coupling technology is used to excite ultrasonic waves and generate a wave velocity difference at the contact surface, thereby forming a differential shear stress slightly greater than the maximum adhesion stress of the ice, and ultimately achieving the purpose of destroying the adhesion between the ice layer and the blade. 6) Electric heating deicing method. The electric heating anti-icing and deicing method uses electrical energy to directly heat the ice layer on the outer surface of the wind turbine blade, so that the small amount of melted ice layer inside can be detached under the action of aerodynamic force and inertia.

[0004] Active de-icing methods are generally much more effective than anti-icing strategies. Most of the aforementioned wind turbine blade de-icing methods require device design and placement tailored to the location of ice on the blades. The location and rate of ice growth are primarily determined by the capture, film flow, and freezing of supercooled air droplets during blade operation. To maximize the effectiveness of these de-icing methods, efficiently and accurately determining the extent of ice on the wind blade surface is crucial. Summary of the Invention
