Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of wing section control of a lift-type vertical axis wind turbine generator set, and in particular, to a wing section control method and device for a lift-type vertical axis wind turbine generator set. Background Art

[0002] With the global energy crisis and increasingly severe environmental pollution problems, wind energy, due to its clean, renewable, and widespread advantages, has become one of the most promising renewable energy sources for large-scale development. Wind power generation technology converts wind energy into electrical energy. The principle of this technology is to use wind turbines to convert wind energy into electricity, which is then transmitted through the power grid to where it is needed. In recent years, vertical-axis wind turbines have gained increasing attention in the wind energy industry due to their advantages, such as their small footprint.

[0003] The blades in vertical-axis wind turbines are mostly rotatable. This means the blades have a wing section at the top and bottom of the rotor, each of which can rotate about the vertical axis to adjust the blade's angle of attack, thereby regulating the wind turbine's power generation. Currently, wind turbine designers control wing section rotation solely based on the blade's angle of attack, without optimizing the wing section chord length. This results in poor wing section control capabilities, impacting wind turbine power generation. This demonstrates the technical issue in related technologies, which stems from insufficient wing section control capabilities and leads to low wind turbine power generation efficiency.

[0031] In this embodiment, a wing section control method for a lift-type vertical axis wind turbine is provided. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a wing section control method for a lift-type vertical axis wind turbine according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0032] Step S202: Obtaining a function expression constructed for the wing section chord length of the lift-type vertical axis wind turbine, wherein the function expression is used to characterize the functional relationship between the wing section chord length of the lift-type vertical axis wind turbine and the aerodynamic design parameters of the lift-type vertical axis wind turbine, wherein the aerodynamic design parameters at least include the incoming wind speed facing the transverse horizontal wing section, the wing section angle of attack of the transverse horizontal wing section, the vertical axis blade height, the vertical axis wind rotor diameter, and the vertical axis unit efficiency;

[0033] Step S204: Calculate the current incoming wind speed using the function expression to obtain the chord length value of the first wing segment;

[0034] Step S206: Use the first wing segment chord length value to perform a performance test on the lift-type vertical-axis wind turbine to obtain a performance test result. When it is determined that the performance test result is used to indicate that the performance of the lift-type vertical-axis wind turbine has passed the test, the lateral horizontal wing segment is replaced with a target lateral horizontal wing segment having the first wing segment chord length value, and the rotation of the target lateral horizontal wing segment is controlled according to the current incoming wind speed.

[0035] Through the above steps, a function expression constructed for the wing section chord length of the lift-type vertical axis wind turbine is obtained, wherein the function expression is used to characterize the functional relationship between the wing section chord length of the lift-type vertical axis wind turbine and the aerodynamic design parameters of the lift-type vertical axis wind turbine, wherein the aerodynamic design parameters at least include the incoming wind speed facing the lateral horizontal wing section, the wing section angle of attack of the lateral horizontal wing section, the vertical axis blade height, the vertical axis wind rotor diameter, and the vertical axis unit efficiency; the current incoming wind speed is calculated using the function expression to obtain a first wing section chord length value; the lift-type vertical axis wind turbine is performance tested using the first wing section chord length value to obtain a performance test result; when it is determined that the performance test result is used to indicate that the unit performance of the lift-type vertical axis wind turbine has passed the test, the lateral horizontal wing section is replaced with a target lateral horizontal wing section having the first wing section chord length value, and the rotation of the target lateral horizontal wing section is controlled according to the current incoming wind speed. The present application can dynamically adjust the wing segment chord length according to the current wind speed and the aerodynamic design parameters of the wind turbine to adapt to different wind speed conditions, improve the wind energy capture efficiency, and thus optimize the performance of the wind turbine. Specifically, by constructing a function expression between the wing segment chord length and the aerodynamic design parameters, the optimal wing segment chord length value can be calculated under different wind speed conditions, and then the wing segment can be replaced and its rotation controlled to achieve the optimal wind energy capture efficiency. This method not only solves the technical problem of low power generation efficiency of wind turbines due to insufficient wing segment control ability, improves the adaptability and efficiency of wind turbines, but also can reduce the mechanical stress of wind turbines under different wind speed conditions, extend their service life, and has significant economic and environmental benefits.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment, the process of obtaining a function expression constructed for the chord length of the wing section of the lift-type vertical-axis wind turbine includes: obtaining wind tunnel test data of the lift-type vertical-axis wind turbine, and obtaining parameter values ​​of multiple groups of parameters of the aerodynamic design parameters from the wind tunnel test data; performing a fitting operation on the parameter values ​​of the multiple groups of parameters to obtain the function expression.

[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, the function expression is expressed as follows: f(C)=f(a, 0.5*ρ*V 3*L*D*Cp); C represents the chord length of the wing section, a represents the angle of attack of the wing section, ρ represents the air density, V represents the incoming wind speed, L represents the vertical axis blade height, D represents the vertical axis wind rotor diameter, and Cp represents the vertical axis unit efficiency.

[0038] It should be noted that Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Efficiency (VAWTE) refers to the efficiency of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) in converting wind energy into electrical energy. The calculation of VAWTE efficiency involves multiple factors, including:

[0039] 1. Wind energy capture efficiency, which measures the ability of a wind turbine to capture wind energy, that is, the ratio of the wind energy actually captured by the wind turbine to the wind energy passing through its swept area.

[0040] 2. Conversion efficiency, which measures how efficiently a wind turbine converts captured wind energy into mechanical energy.

[0041] 3. Power generation efficiency, which measures the efficiency of wind turbines in converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.

[0042] 4. System efficiency: the efficiency of the mechanical system, electrical system and control system of the wind turbine.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, the process of obtaining wind tunnel test data for the lift-type vertical axis wind turbine includes: in a simulated environment, performing an aerodynamic performance test on the blades of the lift-type vertical axis wind turbine based on a simulated parameter group generated by simulated wind speed, simulated angle of attack, and simulated chord length, obtaining a first correspondence between the blade lift coefficient and the simulated parameter group, and obtaining a second correspondence between the blade drag coefficient and the simulated parameter group; and determining the wind tunnel test data based on the first correspondence and the second correspondence. By fitting a large amount of data obtained from wind tunnel testing in a simulated environment, the relationship between the chord length of the wing section and the aerodynamic design parameters can be more accurately reflected, and a more comprehensive understanding of the aerodynamic performance of the wing section under different conditions can be obtained, providing richer data support for wing section control, thereby improving the accuracy of wing section control.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, the first and second correspondences may be displayed in a polar coordinate reference system; or a lift curve corresponding to the wind tunnel test data may be determined and visually displayed. The polar coordinate reference system or the visual display of the lift curve allows for intuitive analysis of the aerodynamic performance of the wing section at different angles of attack and wind speeds, facilitating performance optimization and fault diagnosis by technicians.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, a lift-type vertical axis wind turbine is provided, comprising: an H-shaped vertical axis wind rotor, wherein the H-shaped vertical axis wind rotor has a rotatable transverse horizontal wing segment; a control system, wherein the control system is used to obtain a function expression constructed for the wing segment chord length of the lift-type vertical axis wind turbine, wherein the function expression is used to characterize the functional relationship between the wing segment chord length of the lift-type vertical axis wind turbine and the aerodynamic design parameters of the lift-type vertical axis wind turbine, wherein the aerodynamic design parameters include at least the incoming wind speed facing the transverse horizontal wing segment, the transverse horizontal wing segment chord length, and the transverse horizontal wing segment chord length. The wing section angle of attack of the horizontal wing section, the vertical axis blade height, the vertical axis wind rotor diameter, and the vertical axis unit efficiency; using the function expression to calculate the current incoming wind speed to obtain the first wing section chord length value; using the first wing section chord length value to perform a performance test on the lift-type vertical axis wind turbine unit to obtain a performance test result. When it is determined that the performance test result is used to indicate that the unit performance of the lift-type vertical axis wind turbine unit has passed the test, the lateral horizontal wing section is replaced with a target lateral horizontal wing section having the first wing section chord length value, and the rotation of the target lateral horizontal wing section is controlled according to the current incoming wind speed.

[0046] It should be noted that lift-type vertical-axis wind turbines are characterized by vertically positioned blades, using the lift of airflow to drive the rotor. This design gives vertical-axis wind turbines high efficiency and stability, making them suitable for use in urban areas and areas with low wind speeds.

[0047] A lift-type vertical-axis wind turbine typically consists of a vertical shaft and multiple vertically arranged blades. When wind blows through, the airflow is acted upon by the blades, generating lift, which propels the vertical shaft to rotate, thereby driving the generator to generate electricity. Compared to traditional horizontal-axis wind turbines, vertical-axis wind turbines have a smaller footprint, lower noise levels, and higher wind speed adaptability, making them better suited to complex urban environments and fluctuating wind speeds. Therefore, lift-type vertical-axis wind turbines are an innovative wind power generation device with high efficiency, stability, and adaptability, and are a key development direction in the future of wind power generation.

[0048] It's important to note that the structural relationship between the pitch motor, blades, and lateral horizontal wing sections is crucial in lift-type vertical-axis wind turbines. It determines how the turbine adjusts the blade's angle of attack based on wind speed conditions, thereby controlling lift and drag for optimal starting and power generation performance. The blades are the core component of the wind turbine's interaction with the wind. The lateral horizontal wing sections are rotatable components on the blades that can modify the blade's aerodynamic performance by adjusting their relative angle to the wind direction (i.e., angle of attack). At low wind speeds, the wing sections rotate to a near-vertical position to increase drag and aid turbine startup. At high wind speeds, the wing sections rotate to a near-horizontal position to increase lift and improve power generation efficiency. The pitch motor is a precision drive device used to adjust the angle of attack of the lateral horizontal wing sections on the blades. Installed at the blade root or at the connection between the wing section and the main blade body, the rotation of the motor drives the wing section's rotation. Controlling the pitch motor ensures quick and accurate adjustment of the wing section position under varying wind speed conditions.

[0049] Optionally, for the lift-type vertical-axis wind turbine described in this application, the main body of the blade is connected to the tower or shaft, while the horizontal wing segments are connected to the main body of the blade via a rotating shaft. A variable pitch motor is mounted on one side of the rotating shaft, with its output shaft directly connected to the rotating shaft of the wing segment. The position of the wing segment is changed by the rotation of the motor. This structure allows the wing segment to rotate smoothly between vertical and horizontal positions to adapt to changing wind speed conditions.

[0050] Optionally, the process of adjusting the lift and drag of a lift-type vertical-axis wind turbine at different wind speeds can be implemented using the following steps: 1. Wind speed sensor deployment: Deploy wind speed sensors at key locations on the wind turbine to monitor wind speed in real time. 2. Wind speed signal processing: Establish a wind speed signal processing system, including signal reception, data processing, and wind speed level determination modules, to determine current wind speed conditions. 3. Wind speed level classification: Based on the wind turbine's design and safety standards, classify the wind speed range into three levels: low, medium, and high.

[0051] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. In order to better understand the above method, the above process is described below in conjunction with the embodiments, but it is not intended to limit the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application. Specifically:

[0052] In an optional embodiment, the horizontal wing section is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the horizontal wing section adopts a hollow structure design to reduce weight and improve strength. This hollow structure can be achieved through honeycomb internal support, and the material of the hollow structure is carbon fiber composite material. The wing section frame is composed of multiple parallel rods to enhance structural stability. The parallel rods are made of aluminum alloy and connected by welding. The pitch mechanism also includes Figure 3The blue cylindrical portion D shown connects the wing section to the shaft. Made of high-strength steel, it has a diameter, for example, between 10 cm and 20 cm. It can be bolted to the wing section and shaft.

[0053] Optionally, the lateral horizontal wing section can be rotated as follows Figure 4 As shown, at low wind speeds, the rotatable horizontal wing sections are rotated vertically to reduce the starting wind speed. At high wind speeds, the horizontal wing sections are rotated almost horizontally to increase the power generation.

[0054] During low-wind-speed startup control, the control algorithm is triggered when the wind speed sensor detects low wind speeds. The pitch motor adjusts the angle of attack of the horizontal blade sections to a vertical position to increase drag and help the turbine start faster. Once the predetermined startup conditions are met, the system transitions to normal power generation control mode.

[0055] For high-wind-speed power generation control, the control algorithm is triggered when the wind speed sensor detects high wind speeds. The pitch motor adjusts the angle of attack of the horizontal blade section to a horizontal position to increase lift and improve power generation efficiency. Simultaneously, the unit's output power and speed are monitored to ensure they do not exceed the safe operating range.

[0056] Through the description of the above implementation methods, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the method according to the above embodiment can be implemented by means of software plus the necessary general hardware platform, and of course it can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present application, or the part that contributes to the prior art, can be embodied in the form of a software product, which is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk), and includes a number of instructions for enabling a terminal device (which can be a mobile phone, computer, server, or network device, etc.) to execute the methods of each embodiment of the present application.

[0057] This embodiment also provides a wing section control device for a lift-type vertical axis wind turbine. This device is used to implement the above-mentioned embodiments and preferred embodiments. Details already described will not be repeated here. As used below, the term "module" may refer to a combination of software and / or hardware that implements a predetermined function. Although the devices described in the following embodiments are preferably implemented in software, implementation using hardware, or a combination of software and hardware, is also possible and contemplated.
