Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of new energy and energy conversion technology, and in particular to an aerostat fixed-height closed parachute ladder high-altitude wind energy utilization system. Background Art
[0002] High-altitude wind energy utilization systems refer to systems that convert high-altitude wind energy, either directly or indirectly, into other forms of energy, such as mechanical energy, electrical energy, and gravitational potential energy. Due to the need for long-distance energy transmission and convenient use, high-altitude wind energy utilization systems generally convert wind energy into electrical energy, often referred to as high-altitude wind power generation systems or devices.
[0003] Taking the high-altitude wind power generation system as an example, according to the installation position of the energy conversion device, it is mainly divided into two types: tethered air-based and tethered land-based. The tethered air-based high-altitude wind power generation system refers to the final energy conversion device (such as a generator) installed on the airship, and the generated electric energy is transmitted to the ground through cables for use in the power supply network such as inverter and booster. Its airship is generally an aircraft-type airship towed by ground cables; the final energy conversion device (such as a generator) of the tethered land-based high-altitude wind power generation system is installed on the ground, and its wind energy receiving device is generally a paraglider or parachute type. The former uses a fixed trajectory to drag the tethered cable to generate electricity without the assistance of an airship, and the latter uses the wind blowing the umbrella surface to move obliquely upward to drag the tethered cable to generate electricity, which requires the assistance of airships such as balloons.
[0004] Tethered airborne energy conversion is stable, but limited by the weight of the energy conversion device and the stability of the aerostat, its power is limited, making it unsuitable for large-scale deployment. Tethered land-based medium-paraglider systems have complex motion control and low power consumption, making them unsuitable for large-scale deployment at this stage. Tethered land-based medium-parachute ladder systems have a simple structure, a low power consumption bottleneck, and potential for large-scale deployment.
[0005] With the continuous development of new materials and new equipment, certain progress has been made in the field of parachute ladder high-altitude wind power generation, but there are still many technical problems to be solved. Chinese Patent (200910190150.2) provides a high-power parachute wind power generation system, which proposes to use an aerostat to drive the parachute ladder to take off. After taking off, by opening the working parachute, the wind energy is pulled by the cable to drag the generator to convert into electrical energy. To improve its feasibility, Chinese Patent (201110151527.0) provides an umbrella-shaped wind power device and wind power system. On the basis of the aforementioned invention, a winch and a transmission device are added to generate electricity by the winch. However, the continuous power generation capacity is insufficient. , Chinese patent (201110151521.3) provides a series-connected bidirectionally driven wind power system, proposes the use of a double-pick generator, and utilizes two sets of parachute ladders in series to achieve uninterrupted power generation; further discloses the details of the invention and improves the continuous power generation capacity. Chinese patent (201610800547.9) provides a medium- and high-altitude wind energy ground power generation power assembly and generator set, and designs a detailed parachute ladder type high-altitude wind energy ground energy conversion device to achieve continuous utilization of high-altitude wind energy and facilitate grid-connected applications.
[0006] Through continuous improvement, the above series of inventions have gradually improved the practicality and continuous power generation capacity of ground energy conversion devices. However, various types of parachute ladders require an aerostat to be installed at the top of each parachute ladder. After the aerostat rises to a certain height, the parachute is deployed, and the wind propels the working parachute upward while the aerostat continues to rise. When it reaches a certain height, the parachute is closed, and the mooring cable is dragged by a winch to recover the parachute ladder and aerostat. This method of converting wind energy by driving the working parachute by the rising and falling of the aerostat has the following problems:
[0007] 1. Since the aerostat needs to be frequently raised and lowered to convert wind energy, the wind energy conversion efficiency is highly dependent on the durability of the aerostat;
[0008] 2. Due to the influence of the strength and volume of the aerostat material, the allowed descent speed of the aerostat is limited during the downward pull, further restricting the high-altitude wind energy conversion efficiency;
[0009] 3. The pull-down aerostat also requires additional electric motors, which consumes electricity and reduces the effective utilization rate of wind energy in the overall system.
[0010] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an airship fixed-height closed parachute ladder high-altitude wind energy utilization system that can overcome the above problems, effectively improve the energy conversion efficiency of the high-altitude wind energy utilization system, and improve its effective utilization rate of wind energy.

[0081] The embodiments of the present invention have the following technical effects:
[0082] 1. The present invention discloses a high-altitude wind energy utilization system using an aerostat with a fixed-height enclosed parachute ladder. The aerostat provides the height at which the parachute ladder groups convert wind energy. Two parachute ladder groups are symmetrically arranged around the aerostat. A first parachute ladder group and a second parachute ladder group are connected to either side of the aerostat via a pulley assembly and a mooring mechanism. One end of a first hoisting section is connected to the first parachute ladder group, while one end of a second hoisting section is connected to the second parachute ladder group. The other end of the first hoisting section is sequentially connected to a first transmission section, an energy conversion section, a second transmission section, and the other end of the second hoisting section, forming a closed parachute ladder high-altitude wind energy utilization system. During the wind energy conversion process, the first and second parachute ladder groups convert wind energy through the opening and closing of the parachute and the upward and downward movement of the parachute. The aerostat merely provides the height at which the parachute ladder groups convert wind energy, eliminating the need for frequent lifting and lowering. This overcomes the reliance on the aerostat's durability and avoids the problem of limiting high-altitude wind energy conversion efficiency due to the limited lowering speed of the aerostat. This saves energy consumed by frequently lowering the aerostat, thereby further improving the overall system's wind energy utilization efficiency.

[0098] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0099] Various devices for converting wind energy, which convert wind energy by driving the working parachute through the rise and fall of the aerostat, are limited by the aerostat. Based on this problem, this application proposes an aerostat fixed height closed parachute ladder high altitude wind energy utilization system. Figure 4 It can be seen that it specifically includes: a control unit 6, an energy conversion unit 8 and at least one set of driving units;
[0100] The drive unit is used to drive wind energy conversion; each drive unit includes a mooring unit, an aerostat unit, a pulley unit 3, a first hoisting unit 5-1, a second hoisting unit 5-2, a first transmission unit 7-1, a second transmission unit 7-2, a first parachute ladder unit 10-1 and a second parachute ladder unit 10-2;
[0101] The aerostat section includes an aerial aerostat 2-1 and a ground-based monocoque winch 2-2 connected by ropes. The aerostat 2-1 is used to provide the parachute ladder assembly with a height for wind energy conversion. The first parachute ladder assembly 10-1 and the second parachute ladder assembly 10-2 convert wind energy by opening and closing the parachute and sliding up and down.
[0102] The first umbrella ladder group 10-1 and the second umbrella ladder group 10-2 are symmetrical to each other and consist of a number of umbrella groups of equal number. The strength of the headwind is controlled by switching the umbrella groups, thereby driving the corresponding hoisting parts to work.
[0103] The two parachute ladder groups are symmetrically arranged around the aerostat. A pulley assembly and a mooring unit are used to connect one end of the first parachute ladder group and the second parachute ladder group to either side of the aerostat. The other end of the first parachute ladder group is connected in sequence to the first hoisting unit and the first transmission unit, while the other end of the second parachute ladder group is connected in sequence to the second hoisting unit and the second transmission unit. The first and second transmission units are connected via an energy conversion unit, together forming a closed parachute ladder high-altitude wind energy utilization system. During the wind energy conversion process, the first and second parachute ladder groups convert wind energy through the opening and closing of the parachute and the up and down gliding of the parachute. The aerostat only provides the parachute ladder group with the height to convert wind energy, eliminating the need for frequent lifting and lowering. This overcomes the reliance on the durability of the aerostat, avoids the problem of high-altitude wind energy conversion efficiency being restricted due to the limited lowering speed of the aerostat, saves energy consumed by frequently lowering the aerostat, and further improves the effective utilization rate of wind energy in the overall system.
[0104] The pulley assembly part 3 is hoisted and connected to the bottom of the airship 2-1, and the first parachute ladder group 10-1 and the second parachute ladder group 10-2 are respectively connected to the two sides of the airship 2-1 through the mooring part. One end of the first hoisting part 5-1 is connected to the first parachute ladder group 10-1, and one end of the second hoisting part 5-2 is connected to the second parachute ladder group 10-2. The other end of the first hoisting part 5-1 is connected to the first transmission part 7-1, the energy conversion part 8, the second transmission part 7-2 and the other end of the second hoisting part 5-2 in sequence to form a closed parachute ladder high-altitude wind energy utilization system.

[0111] The present invention provides a high-altitude wind energy utilization system for an aerostat with a fixed-height enclosed parachute ladder, comprising at least one set of drive units. Wind energy conversion is only truly effective when the parachute ladder assembly is in uniform motion. Therefore, using only one set of drive units is sufficient for wind energy conversion. However, the uniform motion of the parachute ladder assembly is not continuous, and the energy output from wind energy conversion is unstable, resulting in intermittent energy output. Therefore, the coordinated use of two sets of drive units allows for alternating stable energy output, significantly improving both wind energy conversion efficiency and stability.

The line connecting the exit hole 12-1 for the first hoisting mooring rope and the exit hole 12-2 for the second hoisting mooring rope forms the base of the isosceles obtuse triangle, while the exit hole 12-3 for the fourth hoisting mooring rope 1-6 forms the vertex of the isosceles obtuse triangle. This reduces the footprint while ensuring system stability.

[0120] Based on the high-altitude wind energy utilization system of the aerostat fixed-altitude closed parachute ladder in any of the above-mentioned embodiments, a high-altitude wind energy utilization state switching method of the aerostat fixed-altitude closed parachute ladder is also provided.
[0121] The working states of the airship fixed height enclosed parachute ladder high altitude wind energy utilization system are divided into preparation and maintenance state, start and standby state, normal working state, stop state, recovery state, and height adjustment state. The state switching method of the airship fixed height enclosed parachute ladder high altitude wind energy utilization state is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the system specifically includes: switching from a standby and maintenance state to a startup and standby state, switching from a startup and standby state to a normal working state, switching from a normal working state to a stopped state, switching from a stopped state to a startup and standby state, switching from a normal working state to a startup and standby state, switching from a startup and standby state to a high-voltage state, and switching from a startup and standby state to a standby and maintenance state. This enables safe, rapid, and stable switching between different working states of the aforementioned system, enabling rapid and robust conversion of wind energy.
[0122] Preparation and maintenance state: It is a static state and the initial state of the system. When the system needs maintenance or avoid meteorological risks, the system stops working and eventually enters this state. At this time, the first hoisting part 5-1 and the second hoisting part 5-2 recycle their corresponding cables to the maximum recyclable amount, the airship 2-1 and the pulley group part 3 are recycle to the corresponding rope outlet hole 12-3 on the ground, and the connection part of the first parachute ladder group 10-1 and the first hoisting mooring rope 1-1, and the connection part of the second parachute ladder group 10-2 and the second hoisting mooring rope 1-5 are respectively recycle to the outside of the corresponding rope outlet hole, and the distance from the corresponding rope outlet hole is greater than 1m to prevent the parachute from being rolled into the rope outlet hole. The distance of 1m will be adjusted in real time according to the size and speed of the parachute. Each parachute ladder group and parachute group is in a closed state.
[0123] Startup and standby state: It is a static state. In this state, the system can switch to other states at any time. It is a pre-condition for normal working state, recovery state and height adjustment state. At this time, the aerostat 2-1 is located near the initially set height, that is, the predetermined floating height H. The maximum height of the predetermined floating height H corresponds to the length of the fourth hoisting mooring rope 1-6. The connection part of the first parachute ladder group 10-1 and the first hoisting mooring rope 1-1 is located at the initial setting position of the corresponding rope outlet hole 12-1. The initial release length L of the first hoisting mooring rope 1-1 and the second hoisting mooring rope 1-5 is 1 / 4 of the initial setting position. 初始。
[0124] The normal working state is the motion state, in which the first hoisting part 5-1 and the second hoisting part 5-2 are powered by their respective corresponding parachute ladder groups to open and close the parachute, perform reciprocating motion, and positively drive the energy conversion part 8 to work.
[0125] The stop state is a stationary state, which is the state after emergency stop;
[0126] The recovery state is in motion. The system needs to be repaired or shut down for a long time and needs to return to the standby and maintenance state. At this time, the recovery state is started.
[0127] The height adjustment state is a motion state, which means that after the system is started, the height of the aerostat 2-1 needs to be adjusted to reduce or increase the system power. At this time, the height adjustment state is entered;
[0128] Furthermore, in the above states, if it is a stationary state, the first hoisting part 5-1 and the second hoisting part 5-2 are both in a braking state, and the moving state refers to any hoisting system of the first hoisting part 5-1 and the second hoisting part 5-2 being in the process of retracting or releasing the cable;

[0132] Step S1-3: slowly release the brake mechanism of the mono-drum winch 2-2, controlling the release speed of the fourth winch mooring rope 1-6 to not exceed V4; at the same time, release the brake mechanism of the first winch part 5-1;
[0133] Step S1-4: When the actual release length of the first hoisting mooring rope 1-1 reaches L 1初始 After that, the brake mechanism of the second hoisting part 5-2 is released, and at the same time, the brake mechanism of the first hoisting part 5-1 is controlled to brake, and the final initial release length L of the first hoisting mooring rope 1-1 is recorded. 1初始 ’ ;
[0134] Furthermore, the actual release length of the first winch mooring rope 1-1 is L 1初始 ’ When the first parachute ladder assembly 10-1 and the first hoisting mooring rope 1-1 are connected, the position of the connection portion is set to the initial position of the rope outlet hole 12-1 corresponding to the connection portion of the first hoisting mooring rope 1-1.
[0135] Step S1-5: Determine the actual release length of the second winch mooring rope 1-5, and whether it reaches L 2初始 Then control the brake mechanism of the second hoisting part 5-2 to brake, and record the final initial release length L of the second hoisting mooring rope 1-5 2初始 ’ ;
[0136] Step S1-6: Determine the actual release speed of the fourth hoisting mooring rope 1-6. When it drops to 0, control the brake mechanism of the mono-drum hoist 2-2 to brake the vehicle and record the final release length L4 of the fourth hoisting mooring rope 1-6. ’ ;
[0137] Step S1-7: End the control, and the system completes the switch from the preparation and maintenance state to the start-up and standby state.
[0138] The system needs to enter the normal working state for energy conversion. According to the different driving forms (modes) and the number of driving parts 9, the normal working state operation method of the system and the method and steps of entering the normal working state from the startup and standby states are different. The normal working mode is divided into continuous operation mode and intermittent operation mode.

[0141] Taking the left end face of the energy conversion part as the reference, clockwise rotation is defined as positive rotation, and counterclockwise rotation is defined as negative rotation;
[0142] Furthermore, when the normal working state is intermittent operation mode, the system enters the normal working state from the start-up and standby state. Figure 8 It is known that:
