TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wind turbine noise directivity propagation testing, in particular to a wind turbine acoustic directivity propagation testing system and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the development of large megawatt single machine capacity and super long blade of wind turbine, the noise generated by the operation of wind turbine also increases. The noise of wind turbine is composed of electromagnetic noise, mechanical noise and aerodynamic noise. In the far field environment, the aerodynamic noise generated by the blade is the main noise contribution. In outdoor noise testing and evaluation and sound propagation attenuation calculation, the noise of wind turbine is generally regarded as a point sound source. At present, the diameter of wind wheel has broken through 200 meters, and the aerodynamic noise generated by the huge wind wheel of wind turbine is closer to line sound source or surface sound source, and the noise propagation of wind turbine in different directions is not the same, such as upwind, downwind and crosswind of wind turbine.
[0003] The existing relevant standards all use A sound level as the basis for noise impact assessment of residential areas. For wind turbine, the noise emitted at a certain distance and under certain operating conditions of wind turbine may be lower than the limit value requirement, but due to its frequency spectrum characteristics and directivity, it still has noise impact on nearby residential areas.
[0004] The most commonly used method for measuring the acoustic directivity of wind turbine is to use a handheld sound level meter to collect sound pressure level at a fixed point by human, without considering the influence of wind wheel speed, blade pitch angle change and other sound source changes, and without considering the influence of meteorological data on acoustics. When the azimuth angle of the nacelle changes, the test point cannot be changed in time and accurately, the measurement method cannot be accurate, and the measurement result cannot reflect the acoustic characteristics in detail. Therefore, the method cannot effectively and accurately measure the acoustic directivity of wind turbine.
[0005] The existing technical documents related to wind turbine noise testing in the industry are as follows:
[0006] In Chinese invention patent application CN108801447A, a wind turbine noise testing system and method are disclosed. According to the wind turbine testing method standard, the data acquisition hardware, testing system, scheme and other contents conforming to the standard are provided.
[0007] In Chinese invention patent application CN108489600A, a wind turbine noise testing and evaluation system and method are disclosed. The invention solves the problems of long cable, complicated operation and low measurement and evaluation efficiency in the prior art by combining the data acquisition of lower computer hardware with the data saving method of upper computer.
[0008] In Chinese patent application CN104034411A, a wind turbine noise distributed measurement system is disclosed, which comprises an acoustic measurement terminal, a wireless communication base station, an acoustic signal processing center, a system interaction center and the like.
[0009] In summary, there is no relevant patent to give specific measurement arrangement, equipment installation position, quantity requirement and the like. For the test of directivity, there is no method to confirm the position between the acoustic measuring point and the changing wind wheel. For the signal collection of the measured unit, the key parameters affecting the aerodynamic acoustics are not included, such as the wind wheel speed, the blade angle, the nacelle wind speed, the wind wheel position and the like. The current distributed measurement system cannot accurately guide the measurement of the acoustic directivity propagation of the wind turbine.
[0010] Therefore, it is necessary to study the wind turbine acoustic propagation directivity propagation test method and system. From the perspective of active noise reduction control of the wind turbine, the noise reduction control scheme can be formulated in detail through the acoustic propagation directivity characteristics, the power generation loss can be effectively avoided, and the acoustic influence can be reduced.

[0115] The central base station specifically performs the following operations:
[0116] The wind speed range measured by the meteorological base station includes the wind speed range corresponding to the wind speed at which the wind turbine starts to the wind speed greater than the rated power, and the wind speed is spaced at 0.5 m / s, and the sampling Bin interval is processed, that is, a plurality of wind speed intervals are divided between the measured entire wind speed range, and the data is divided into each wind speed interval according to the wind speed, and finally
[0117] The measurement result of the effective data points in each wind speed interval is obtained, and the average wind speed in the wind speed interval k is calculated by formula (6):
[0118]
[0119] N is the number of measurements within the wind speed interval k; V j,k is the average wind speed in wind speed interval k during measurement period j.
[0120] See also Figure 5 As shown, the entire system is located on flat terrain and there is no interference from other noise sources around. If there are other sounds around and they cannot be avoided, the test data should be filtered to avoid interference from occasional environmental sound sources on the test results.
[0121] When the front of the wind turbine rotor is due north, the nacelle azimuth is 0°, and the azimuth angle is 0°-359° clockwise when looking down. The required acoustic test points are located in the upwind, right wind direction, downwind direction, and left wind direction of the turbine. It is preferred that the acoustic test points be evenly distributed or arranged according to the focus position, such as Figure 5 As shown in the figure, when the wind direction changes, the cabin azimuth angle changes accordingly. For example, when the cabin azimuth angle is 90°, the data obtained at the 90° point is when the unit is pointing directly upwind, while the data obtained at the 270° point is when the unit is pointing directly downwind. The data obtained at each test point is stored separately based on the cabin azimuth angle change angle. Data is valid when the cabin azimuth angle remains stable for 10 seconds and the angle deviation from the test point is within ±5°. Otherwise, the data is considered invalid.
[0122] According to the position information of the acoustic base station and the position information of the main control base station, the position and angle of the acoustic base station relative to the wind turbine are calculated. The real-time position of the acoustic base station relative to the wind turbine is obtained by iterating the cabin azimuth angle data collected by the main control base station. The initial position of the cabin azimuth angle is the acoustic measurement position 0° direction, and the clockwise direction is 0-360°. When the wind speed changes, the cabin azimuth angle changes, and the pointing angle of the acoustic measurement position changes with the cabin azimuth angle. However, the 0° direction of the acoustic measurement position must always be kept consistent with the cabin azimuth angle, with an angle deviation of ±15°. The cabin azimuth angle is shown in the following formulas (7) to (8):
[0123]
[0124] θ WT is the cabin azimuth angle, For acoustic measurement, the 0° pointing direction is used;
[0125] Perform time domain analysis, spectrum analysis, and pitch analysis on acoustic signals. Time domain analysis includes continuous time equivalence with a 10s duration, A-weighting, and Z-weighting. Spectral analysis yields 0-10,000Hz spectrum results, 1 / 3 octave band spectrum results, and 1 octave band spectrum results. Pitch analysis yields tone value and pitch audibility.
[0126] The relationship between the environmental wind speed and the acoustic characteristics of the wind turbine is evaluated, and the wind speed data at a height of 10 m are correlated with the cabin wind speed to establish the relationship between the wind turbine operating state, acoustic propagation and environmental wind speed. The calculation relationship between the wind speed at a height of 10 m and the cabin wind speed is shown in equation (9):
[0127]
[0128] V 10 is the wind speed at a height of 10 m, V H is the cabin wind speed, Z 0ref is the reference roughness;
[0129] When the background noise is corrected, if the difference between the total sound pressure level and the background noise level is greater than 10 dB, the influence of the background noise on the measurement of the noise source is ignored, and if the difference between the total sound pressure level and the background noise level is less than 3 dB, the measurement needs to be re-measured in a quiet environment. The background noise is processed by 1 / 3 octave band, and if the total noise level L V,T,i,k is at least 3 dB higher than the background noise level L V,B,i,k , the background correction sound pressure level in the 1 / 3 octave band i is calculated by equation (10):

[0132] Embodiment 2
[0133] Referring to Figures 6-7 , the embodiment discloses a wind turbine acoustic directivity propagation test method, which calls the acoustic base station, the meteorological base station, the master control base station and the central base station in the wind turbine acoustic directivity propagation test system to realize, and includes:
[0134] The acoustic base stations are respectively arranged at corresponding positions of the upwind direction, the left wind direction, the downwind direction and the right wind direction of the wind turbine, and the distance between each acoustic base station and the center of the tower cylinder of the wind turbine is not less than H+D / 2, wherein H is the hub height of the wind turbine, and D is the diameter of the wind wheel of the wind turbine;
[0135] The meteorological base station is installed at a position D-2D away from the wind turbine and away from the rear of the wind turbine rotor. The height of the meteorological base station is not less than 10m. A wind speed sensor and a wind direction sensor are installed at a height of 10m, and the mounting cross bars of the wind speed sensor and the wind direction sensor are perpendicular to the incoming wind direction.
[0136] The wind speed range measured by the meteorological base station includes the wind speed range corresponding to the start-up wind speed of the wind turbine to the wind speed range greater than the rated power. The wind speed is sampled at intervals of 0.5m / s, and the Bin interval processing is performed, that is, several wind speed intervals are divided between the entire measured wind speed segment, and the data are divided into each wind speed interval according to the wind speed size. Finally, the measurement results of the valid data points in each wind speed interval are obtained, and the average wind speed in the wind speed interval k is obtained. Calculated by formula (6):
[0137]
[0138] N is the number of measurements within the wind speed interval k; V j,k is the average wind speed in wind speed interval k during measurement period j;
[0139] When the front of the wind turbine rotor is due north, the nacelle azimuth is 0°, and the azimuth angle is 0°-359° clockwise when looking down. The required acoustic test points are located in the upwind, right wind direction, downwind direction, and left wind direction of the turbine. It is preferred that the acoustic test points be evenly distributed or arranged according to the focus position, such as Figure 5 As shown in the figure, when the wind direction changes, the cabin azimuth angle changes accordingly. For example, when the cabin azimuth angle is 90°, the data obtained at the 90° point is when the unit is pointing directly upwind, while the data obtained at the 270° point is when the unit is pointing directly downwind. The data obtained at each test point is stored separately based on the cabin azimuth angle change angle. Data is valid when the cabin azimuth angle remains stable for 10 seconds and the angle deviation from the test point is within ±5°. Otherwise, the data is considered invalid.
[0140] According to the position information of the acoustic base station and the position information of the main control base station, the position and angle of the acoustic base station relative to the wind turbine are calculated. The real-time position of the acoustic base station relative to the wind turbine is obtained by iterating the cabin azimuth angle data collected by the main control base station. The initial position of the cabin azimuth angle is the acoustic measurement position 0° direction, and the clockwise direction is 0-360°. When the wind speed changes, the cabin azimuth angle changes, and the pointing angle of the acoustic measurement position changes with the cabin azimuth angle. However, the 0° direction of the acoustic measurement position must always be kept consistent with the cabin azimuth angle, with an angle deviation of ±15°. The cabin azimuth angle is shown in the following formulas (7) to (8):
[0141]
[0142] θ WT is the azimuth angle of the cabin, is the 0° pointing azimuth of the acoustic measurement;
[0143] The acoustic signal is subjected to time domain analysis, spectral analysis and tonal analysis, the time domain analysis includes continuous time equivalent, A-weighting and Z-weighting with a period of 10s; the spectral analysis obtains 0-10000Hz spectral results, 1 / 3 octave band spectrum and 1 octave band spectrum results; the tonal analysis obtains pitch and tonal audibility;
[0144] The relationship between the environmental wind speed and the acoustic characteristics of the wind turbine is evaluated, the 10m high wind speed data is correlated with the cabin wind speed, thereby establishing the relationship between the wind turbine operating state, acoustic propagation and environmental wind speed, the calculation relationship between the wind speed at 10m height and the cabin wind speed is as formula (9):
[0145]
[0146] V 10 is the wind speed at 10m height, V H is the cabin wind speed, Z 0ref is the reference roughness;
[0147] When the background noise is corrected, if the difference between the total sound pressure level and the background noise is greater than 10dB, the influence of the background noise on the noise source measurement is ignored, if the difference between the total sound pressure level and the background noise is less than 3dB, the measurement needs to be re-measured in a quiet environment; the background noise is processed by 1 / 3 octave band, if in the same 1 / 3 octave band i, the running total noise level L V,T,i,k is at least 3dB higher than the background noise level L V,B,i,k , the background correction sound pressure level in the 1 / 3 octave band i is calculated by formula (10):
[0148]
[0149] L V,c,i,k is the background noise correction A-weighted sound pressure level in the 1 / 3 octave band i at the interval center wind speed k; L V,T,i,k is the running total noise sound pressure level in the 1 / 3 octave band i at the interval center wind speed k; L V,B,i,k is the background noise sound pressure level in the 1 / 3 octave band i at the interval center wind speed k.
[0150] The above-described embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application, therefore, any changes made according to the shape and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
