[0002] The main function of the yaw system of a wind turbine is to rotate the nacelle and impeller according to the change of wind direction, so that the impeller faces the wind direction, so that the impeller can obtain the maximum wind energy for power generation. The process of facing the wind is that the multiple yaw drive motors of the yaw system rotate simultaneously to drive the nacelle and impeller to rotate, and the braking system maintains the nacelle at the target yaw angle.

[0003] Wind is uncertain and volatile. Existing active yaw technology determines the wind direction by the angle between the wind rotor direction and the wind direction deviation. The wind direction is the predicted wind direction or the real-time wind direction. When the angle is greater than the set angle, yaw is executed. After the yaw is adjusted, when the angle is less than the set angle, the yaw stops. However, this yaw control method has at least the following defects: (1) The yaw adjustment method based on the real-time wind direction has a large lag, which makes it difficult to meet the wind turbine's adaptive yaw control ability under variable wind conditions, resulting in a series of problems such as a decrease in wind energy utilization and a decrease in comprehensive economic benefits; (2) While the yaw adjustment method based on the predicted wind direction improves the timeliness of yaw control, it also has the problem of prediction accuracy; (3) If the wind direction changes frequently, frequent yaw will occur, causing increased wear on the braking system.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a wind turbine yaw control method provided in Example 1 of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the 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. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] The embodiment of the present invention provides a wind turbine yaw control method, the flow chart of the yaw control method is shown in FIG. Figure 1 shown.

[0029] Specifically in this embodiment, the yaw control method includes steps S1 to S5, which are specifically as follows:

[0030] Step S1, obtaining a wind speed-wind direction change angle relationship curve, using the relationship curve as a judgment condition for starting the yaw system under various wind speed conditions, using the average wind direction value within a set time as the operating angle of the yaw system, and using different yaw delays Δt to simulate different yaw strategies, obtaining multiple sets of yaw control parameters, and determining the yaw time t from the multiple sets of yaw control parameters obtained by simulation based on the target economic benefit 1, the yaw time t 1 In this embodiment, the comprehensive economic benefit of yaw is determined based on the increased power generation income obtained by executing the yaw strategy under different yaw delays and the yaw motor power consumption caused by executing the yaw strategy, and the maximization of the comprehensive economic benefit of yaw is taken as the target economic benefit.

[0031] Get the next yaw occurrence time t 1 The wind direction prediction value and t 1 The target yaw angle is obtained based on the wind direction prediction value and the N historical wind directions, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0032] The wind direction prediction value can be obtained by using the wind direction prediction model based on ARIMA and neural network LSTM, which will not be described in detail here. The historical wind direction is based on the next yaw time t 1 Obtained from the historical database.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, the target yaw angle is determined based on a predicted wind direction value and an average of N historical wind directions, where N is 4, but is not specifically limited thereto.

[0034] The specific expression is as follows:

[0035]

[0036] In the above formula, For fan t 1 The target yaw angle at the moment, mean( ) is the mean function, α is the wind direction prediction value output by the wind direction prediction model, For fan t 1 The sum of N historical wind directions before the moment, Indicates t 1 The historical trend at the moment.

[0037] It should be noted that by calculating the target yaw angle based on the wind direction prediction value and the historical wind direction, it can reflect both the actual wind direction change characteristics and the historical wind direction change characteristics, and can effectively reduce the yaw error.

[0038] Step S2, determine whether the wind turbine meets the yaw condition. In one implementation of the present embodiment, the yaw condition is that the wind speed in the wind farm is greater than the set wind speed value or the wind turbine is in a grid-connected state, and the set wind speed value here is set to 2.5m / s; when the wind speed in the wind farm is greater than 2.5m / s or the wind turbine is in a grid-connected state, go to step S3, otherwise the yaw stops; it should be noted that, affected by other wind turbines in the wind farm, the wind speed in the wind farm here can be replaced by the incoming wind speed corresponding to each wind turbine.

[0039] Step S3, determine whether the target yaw angle is greater than the first wind angle threshold value |θ|. In the present embodiment, |θ| is the right yaw angle with the best economic benefit. The economically optimal yaw angle can be optionally obtained based on the economically optimal wind turbine yaw angle optimization objective function. The construction of the objective function and the setting of the constraint conditions are not described in detail here.

[0040] When the target yaw angle is greater than the first wind angle threshold value |θ|, go to step S4; otherwise, further determine whether the target yaw angle is greater than the second wind angle threshold value -|θ|, where -|θ| is the left yaw angle with the best economic benefits; when the target yaw angle is greater than the second wind angle threshold value -|θ|, go to step S5; otherwise, the yaw stops, and the wind turbine directly performs yaw control at the yaw angle with the best economic benefits.

[0041] Step S4: Determine the current time t 2 With t 1 Is the time difference t equal to 0? 1 Compared with the last wind turbine yaw time t 1 -1 time difference t 3 Is it less than the set time difference t 4 Here, the time difference t is used to indicate the remaining time for yaw angle adjustment. When the time difference t is 0, in order to achieve the best economic benefit, it is necessary to immediately yaw to the target yaw angle.

[0042] Specifically, when the time difference t is not 0, it means that there is still time to adjust the yaw angle, obtain the current environmental parameters of the wind farm, adjust the predicted wind direction, and go to step S1 to obtain a new target yaw angle; when t is 0 and t 3 Less than t 4 When the first time difference condition is met, it indicates that yaw control needs to be performed immediately. Considering that the time interval between the last wind turbine yaw and the current wind turbine yaw is too short, the braking system is still in a high temperature and high pressure state at this time. Therefore, this embodiment triggers the wind turbine to yaw at the first yaw speed v 1 Yaw ε, when t is 0 and t 3 Greater than t 4 When the second time difference condition is met, the wind turbine rotates at the second yaw speed v 2 Yaw ε, where ε is the weighted value of the target yaw angle and the first pair of wind angle thresholds |θ|, v 1 Less than v 2 .

[0043] Step S5: Similar to step S4, step S5 is for the left yaw of the wind turbine, specifically determining whether t is 0, and determining whether t 3 Is it less than t 4 , if t is not 0, go to step S1, otherwise when t is 0 and t 3 Less than t4 , that is, when the first time difference condition is met, the fan is at v 1 Yaw-ε, when t is 0 and t 3 Greater than t 4 , that is, when the second time difference condition is met, the fan 2 Yaw -ε, where -ε is the weighted value of the target yaw angle and the second wind angle threshold -|θ|.

[0044] It should be noted that by adjusting the time difference The predicted wind direction can be updated by the real-time environmental parameter changes before the next yaw to obtain the best target yaw angle to match the next yaw, which can effectively improve the yaw accuracy. 3 By making a judgment and controlling the yaw speed according to the judgment result, it is possible to effectively avoid the aggravated wear of the brake system caused by frequent yaw, so as to extend the service life of the brake system.
