Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind turbine impeller imbalance detection, and particularly to a method and system for detecting impeller imbalance of a wind turbine generator set. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of wind power in China, problems of wind turbine generator sets have also emerged, especially vibration faults of wind turbine generator sets, which directly affect the mechanical performance and service life of the sets. The impeller of a wind turbine generator set includes blades, a hub, and a fairing. Among them, the blades are devices for absorbing energy of the wind turbine generator set. As the power source of the wind turbine generator set, impeller imbalance will cause additional loads or load imbalance of the set. Especially with the continuous increase in the capacity of wind turbine generator sets, the blades are getting longer and longer, and the swept area, weight, and moment of inertia of the blades also increase accordingly. The impact of impeller imbalance on the performance and service life of the set is more prominent. Impeller imbalance will reduce the power generation efficiency and power curve of the wind turbine generator set, and will also cause damage to key components such as the pitch system, drive train, and yaw system. At the same time, if the impeller imbalance fault is not solved for a long time, the fault may become more serious, which will pose a great threat to the reliability and safety of the wind turbine generator set, and thus affect the service life of the wind turbine generator set. Currently, 75% of the in-service sets have impeller imbalance phenomena to varying degrees. Among them, the aerodynamic imbalance of the blades caused by non-standard zero-position calibration or installation identification errors during the blade installation process accounts for a relatively large proportion in practice; and the aerodynamic imbalance caused by zero-position deviation is also the easiest to correct. Therefore, it is of great significance to detect impeller imbalance caused by zero-position deviation.
[0003] At present, the detection methods for impeller imbalance include vibration methods, load methods, vision and clearance detection methods, etc. However, the vibration method has low measurement accuracy and cannot effectively extract characteristic signals in a timely manner. The load detection method requires accurate load measurement. At present, the maturity of load measurement technology is not high. Due to problems such as pasting technology, the measurement consistency is poor, which is prone to false measurement. The vision and clearance detection method is the main means in current measurement and detection. It mainly detects impeller imbalance problems through offline equipment or configured clearance equipment, but this online monitoring method relies on clearance equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0047] For the convenience of understanding the embodiments of the present invention, the following will further explain and illustrate with specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The embodiments do not constitute a limitation to the embodiments of the present invention.
[0048] Figure 1 It is one of the flow schematic diagrams of the impeller imbalance detection method of the wind turbine provided by the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the method includes the following:
[0049] S11. Obtain the blade sweeping audio and blade running video when the target wind turbine is operating.
[0050] Collect the blade sweeping audio during the operation of the fan through the audio sensor installed on the tower wall in the main wind direction at the bottom of the target wind turbine. Collect the blade running video during the operation of the fan through the pan-tilt camera installed on the top of the nacelle of the target wind turbine and facing the blade direction.
[0051] S12. Calculate the energy difference degree of the blade sweeping based on the blade sweeping audio, and calculate the blade zero position deviation angle value based on the blade running video.
[0052] Perform audio data processing on the blade sweeping audio to obtain a spectrogram with time as the abscissa and frequency as the ordinate; perform graphic segmentation on the spectrogram to obtain a sub-spectrogram corresponding to each blade; calculate the spectral energy amplitude of each blade based on the sub-spectrogram; calculate the energy difference degree of the blade sweeping based on the spectral energy amplitude of each blade.
[0053] In addition, perform image segmentation on the blade operation video to obtain a first image when each blade passes through a certain fixed position of the pan-tilt camera. The pan-tilt camera is installed on the top of the nacelle of the target wind turbine and faces the blade direction; perform image recognition on the first image, extract the blade contour of each blade in the corresponding first image and calculate the area of the first pixel points of the blade within the blade contour; calculate the maximum difference in the area of all blade pixel points based on the area of the first pixel points of the blade; obtain the standard pixel point area when the standard blade without zero position deviation passes through the same fixed position of the pan-tilt camera; calculate the blade zero position deviation angle value based on the maximum difference in the area of all blade pixel points and the standard pixel point area.
[0054] S13. Based on the energy difference degree and the blade zero position deviation angle value, perform unbalance detection on the impeller of the target wind turbine.
[0055] Preset an energy difference threshold and a deviation angle threshold. When the obtained energy difference degree of the blade sweeping is greater than the energy difference threshold and the blade zero position deviation angle value is greater than the deviation angle threshold, it is determined that there is an impeller imbalance situation caused by zero position deviation in the target wind turbine.
[0056] Optionally, multiple gears can also be set for both the energy difference threshold and the angle threshold, for example, two gears, namely the first gear of the energy difference threshold, the second gear of the energy difference threshold, the first gear of the angle threshold, and the second gear of the angle threshold; when the energy difference degree of the blade sweeping is greater than the first gear of the energy difference threshold and the blade zero position deviation angle value is greater than the first gear of the angle threshold, it is determined that there is a mild impeller imbalance problem caused by zero position deviation in the unit; when the energy difference degree of the blade sweeping is greater than the second gear of the energy difference threshold and the blade zero position deviation angle value is greater than the second gear of the angle threshold, it is determined that there is a severe impeller imbalance problem caused by zero position deviation in the unit.
[0057] The impeller imbalance detection method for a wind turbine provided by the present invention includes obtaining the blade sweeping audio and blade operation video during the operation of the target wind turbine; calculating the energy difference degree of blade sweeping based on the blade sweeping audio, and calculating the blade zero position deviation angle value based on the blade operation video; and performing impeller imbalance detection on the target wind turbine based on the energy difference degree and the blade zero position deviation angle value. Compared with the existing vibration method for impeller imbalance detection with low measurement accuracy and inability to effectively extract characteristic signals in a timely manner, the load detection method with poor measurement consistency causing false measurements, and the vision and clearance detection method relying on clearance equipment, this method jointly detects and confirms the impeller imbalance problem caused by zero position deviation through blade sweeping audio and blade operation video data, with high detection accuracy; at the same time, it can preliminarily estimate the zero position deviation angle value, which helps to investigate and solve the impeller imbalance problem.
[0058] Figure 2 It is the second schematic flow diagram of the impeller imbalance detection method for a wind turbine provided by the present invention. As Figure 2 shown, this method includes the following:
[0059] First, collect the blade sweeping audio during the operation of the wind turbine through an audio sensor installed on the tower barrel wall in the main wind direction at the bottom of the target wind turbine, as Figure 3 shown. Collect the blade operation video during the operation of the wind turbine through a pan-tilt camera installed on the top of the nacelle of the target wind turbine and facing the blade direction.
[0060] Furthermore, process the blade sweeping audio data to obtain a spectrogram with time as the abscissa and frequency as the ordinate, as Figure 4 shown. In the figure, 1 - the spectral characteristic peak of blade 1, 2 - the spectral characteristic peak of blade 2, 3 - the spectral characteristic peak of blade 3. Segment the spectrogram to obtain the independent sub-spectrograms of each blade, and then calculate the magnitude of the spectral energy amplitude of each blade. The spectral energy amplitudes of the three blades are respectively 、 、 .
[0061] Among them, calculate the energy difference degree of blade sweeping, and the calculation formula is as follows:
[0062]
[0063] Among them, the audio data extracts spectral characteristics after windowing and short-time Fourier transform, and the spectrogram is obtained after splicing.
[0064] Furthermore, read the blade operation video data, and through image segmentation, respectively obtain the images of the three blades when passing through a certain fixed position, as Figure 5As shown, the contours of single blades are extracted from the image respectively, as Figure 6 shown. Since the image is composed of pixel points, by calculating the number of pixel points inside the contour, a value proportional to the actual area of the blade can be obtained. The pixel areas of the three blades are respectively , , .
[0065] Furthermore, calculate the maximum difference of the pixel areas of the three blades. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0066]
[0067] Furthermore, obtain the pixel area when the blade without zero-position deviation is at the same fixed position, and calculate the blade zero-position deviation angle value θ. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0068]
[0069] The calculation principle of the blade zero-position deviation angle value θ is as follows: If the installation angle of a certain blade has a zero-position deviation, it is equivalent to that the surface of the blade facing the pan-tilt camera rotates around its pitch rotation center by an angle. If the surface contour of the blade facing the pan-tilt camera direction is simplified as a rectangle, as Figure 6 shown. The two sides of the rectangle are x and y respectively. Then the true area of the blade without zero-position deviation in the field of view of the pan-tilt camera; when the blade has a zero-position deviation of a certain angle θ, the true area of the blade with zero-position deviation in the field of view of the pan-tilt camera is , where . Assuming that when the maximum difference in the pixel areas of the three blades appears, one is the blade without zero-position deviation and the other is the blade with zero-position deviation, then it can be obtained that:
[0070] ;
[0071] That is ;
[0072] Among them: is the proportionality coefficient between the pixel area and the true area of the object, which can be obtained through the initial calibration of the blade design parameters.
[0073] Since the pixel area when the blade without zero-position deviation is at the same fixed position, then:
[0074] ;
[0075] Thus, the blade zero-position deviation angle value θ is calculated.
[0076] Further, a preset energy difference threshold and a deviation angle threshold are set. When the energy difference degree of the blade sweeping obtained above is greater than the energy difference threshold, and the blade zero position deviation angle value is greater than the deviation angle threshold, it is determined that there is an impeller imbalance caused by the zero position deviation in the target wind turbine unit.
[0077] Optionally, multiple gears can also be set for both the energy difference threshold and the angle threshold. For example, two gears, namely the first gear of the energy difference threshold, the second gear of the energy difference threshold, the first gear of the angle threshold, and the second gear of the angle threshold. When the energy difference degree of the blade sweeping is greater than the first gear of the energy difference threshold, and the blade zero position deviation angle value is greater than the first gear of the angle threshold, it is determined that there is a mild impeller imbalance problem caused by the zero position deviation in the unit. When the energy difference degree of the blade sweeping is greater than the second gear of the energy difference threshold, and the blade zero position deviation angle value is greater than the second gear of the angle threshold, it is determined that there is a severe impeller imbalance problem caused by the zero position deviation in the unit. For example, the first gear of the energy difference threshold is 0.3, the second gear of the energy difference threshold is 0.5; the first gear of the angle threshold is 1°, and the second gear of the angle threshold is 3°.
[0078] Further, when it is detected that there is an impeller imbalance situation caused by the zero position deviation in the target wind turbine unit, a warning is given based on the severity.
[0079] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present invention are: (1) By jointly detecting and confirming the impeller imbalance problem caused by the zero position deviation through blade audio and blade video data, the detection accuracy is high, and the blade zero position deviation angle value can be initially estimated, which is helpful for troubleshooting the problems of the fan and solving the impeller imbalance problem.
[0080] (2) The energy difference degree of the blade sweeping is represented by the ratio of the maximum difference value of the spectral energy amplitudes of the three blades to the average value of the spectral energy amplitudes of the three blades. When the energy difference degree is greater than 0.3, it is initially determined that the impeller is mildly unbalanced; when the energy difference degree is greater than 0.5, it is initially determined that the impeller is severely unbalanced.
[0081] (3) The pixel point area when the three blades are at the same fixed position is identified through video data, and the blade zero position deviation angle value is calculated through the difference in the pixel point areas of the three blades. When the zero position deviation angle value is greater than 1°, and the energy difference degree is greater than 0.3, it is determined that the impeller is mildly unbalanced and a mild imbalance warning is issued; when the zero position deviation angle value is greater than 3°, and the energy difference degree is greater than 0.5, it is determined that the impeller is severely unbalanced and a severe imbalance warning is issued, so as to timely adjust and repair the impeller imbalance problem caused by the zero position deviation.
