[0002] As an important part of renewable energy, wind power generation has been widely used around the world. As a key structure supporting the entire wind turbine generator set, the stability of the wind turbine tower base is directly related to the safe operation and service life of wind power equipment. However, due to the influence of various factors such as geological conditions, climatic conditions, and long-term loads, the wind turbine tower base may experience uneven settlement, which will not only affect the stability and power generation efficiency of the wind turbine, but in severe cases may even lead to safety accidents such as tower tilting and collapse. Therefore, it is particularly important to conduct accurate and real-time settlement monitoring of the wind turbine tower base.

[0003] Existing settlement monitoring methods mostly rely on traditional leveling or optical signal reception and positioning technology, but these methods have disadvantages such as long measurement cycle, limited accuracy, and susceptibility to interference from environmental factors. They are difficult to meet the needs of real-time, high-precision monitoring of wind turbine tower foundation settlement.

[0023] Optionally, in S4, the normal vector is calculated according to the coordinates of the positioning points. Assume that the coordinates of the three positioning points are A(x1, y1, z1), B(x2, y2, z2), and C(x3, y3, z3). The normal vector of plane ABC is The calculation expression is as follows:

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying creative work.

[0043] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for monitoring wind turbine tower foundation settlement based on Beidou high-precision positioning, comprising the following steps:

[0045] S1: Set at least three positioning points below the wind turbine tower base, and install at least one Beidou positioning device at each positioning point.

[0046] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, four positioning points are set to obtain multiple monitoring space planes, which is conducive to achieving high-precision monitoring of wind turbine tower foundation settlement.

[0047] S2: Obtain the longitude and latitude coordinates of the positioning point through the Beidou positioning device, and convert the longitude and latitude coordinates into earth-centered earth-fixed coordinates. In this embodiment, the calculation expression for converting the longitude and latitude coordinates into earth-centered earth-fixed coordinates is as follows:

[0048] X=(N+alt)cost(lat)cos(lon);

[0049] Y=(N+alt)cos(lat)sin(lon);

[0050] Z=(N(1-f) 2 +alt)sin(lat);

[0051] Among them, lon represents the longitude information in the longitude and latitude coordinates, lat represents the latitude information in the longitude and latitude coordinates, alt represents the altitude information in the longitude and latitude coordinates, f represents the extreme flattening, N represents the radius of curvature of the reference ellipsoid, and X, Y, and Z represent the geocentric fixed coordinates.

[0052] It should be noted that the Earth-centered Earth-fixed coordinate system is abbreviated as ECEF. The origin of the ECEF coordinate system is the center of mass of the earth, the x-axis extends through the intersection of the prime meridian and the equator, the z-axis extends through the North Pole (that is, it coincides with the earth's rotation axis), and the y-axis completes the right-hand coordinate system, passing through the equator and 90 degrees of longitude.

[0053] S3: Convert the Earth-centered Earth-fixed coordinates to the Northeast Celestial coordinates.

[0054] In this embodiment, the process of converting the Earth-centered Earth-fixed coordinates into the Northeast Celestial Coordinates is as follows:

[0058] S4: Draw the monitoring space plane in three-dimensional space using the northeast celestial coordinates and calculate the geometric features of the monitoring space plane.

[0059] In this embodiment, when the number of positioning points is three, a monitoring space plane is drawn; when the number of positioning points exceeds three, any three different positioning points are taken as a combination, and two or more monitoring space planes are drawn according to monitoring requirements.

[0060] Furthermore, the geometric features of the monitored space plane include the normal vector, area and plane angle. The above geometric characteristics are used to establish a tower base position state model. By monitoring the changes in the tower base position state model, this embodiment can determine whether the tower base has settled and the uniformity of the settlement.

[0061] Specifically, the normal vector can be calculated based on the coordinates of the positioning points. Here, taking plane ABC as an example, the coordinates of the three positioning points of plane ABC are A(x1, y1, z1), B(x2, y2, z2), and C(x3, y3, z3). The normal vector of plane ABC is The calculation expression is as follows:

[0062]

[0063] |AB|*|AC|*cosθ=(x2-x1)(x3-x1)+(y2-y1)(y3-y1)+(z2-z1)(z3-z1);

[0064] in, represents the AB vector, represents AC vector, and θ represents the angle between AB vector and AC vector.

[0065] Furthermore, the calculation expression of the plane area is as follows:

[0066]

[0067] Among them, S ABC Represents the plane area.

[0068] When there are more than three positioning points, draw two or more monitoring space planes. The plane angle is the angle between any two monitoring space planes. The calculation expression is as follows:

[0069]

[0070] Among them, α represents the angle between plane ABC and plane ACD, Represents the normal vector of plane ACD.

[0071] S5: Establish a tower base position state model based on the geometric characteristics of the monitoring space plane.

[0072] S6: Collect and update the coordinate data of the Beidou locator in real time, and repeat steps S2 to S5 to compare the tower base position.

[0073] In a more specific embodiment, in S6, the wind turbine tower foundation settlement monitoring method further includes setting a settlement threshold, and when the wind turbine tower foundation settlement exceeds the preset settlement threshold, triggering an early warning mechanism. The early warning mechanism can be sending an early warning signal to the equipment of the management personnel, and can also use an audible and visual alarm for early warning.

[0074] In addition, the present invention also includes a wind turbine tower base settlement monitoring system based on Beidou high-precision positioning, which is used to implement the wind turbine tower base settlement monitoring method as described above, and the system includes a Beidou locator, a data computing center, an early warning device and a display;

[0077] Early warning device: used to implement early warning mechanism;

[0078] Display: used to display the tower base location status model and visualization data, the visualization data at least includes latitude and longitude coordinates, northeast celestial coordinates, normal vector, area and plane angle.

[0079] It should be noted that this embodiment monitors the settlement of the wind turbine tower base in real time, and collects, calculates and stores the visual data in real time. This embodiment displays the visual data by drawing a line graph or a bar graph, which is convenient for management personnel to review.
