[0047] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present application will be described in detail below. In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain the present application, rather than to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can be implemented without the need for some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only to provide a better understanding of the present application by illustrating the examples of the present application.
[0048] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the statement "include..." do not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.
[0049] At present, in the engineering design of wind turbine blades, the blade design can be carried out based on the analytical design method of the classical blade element momentum theory (BEM). The analytical design method is an inverse design method, which mainly includes: according to the optimal wind energy conversion efficiency (optimal power coefficient Cp) assumption of BEM, under the specific airfoil selection and its spanwise distribution (relative thickness distribution, lift and drag coefficient distribution), the blade chord length and twist angle distribution under a certain design tip speed ratio are calculated, thereby obtaining the aerodynamic layout characteristics of the blade.
[0050] However, the analytical design method has the following disadvantages: 1) Single-operating-condition design (tip speed ratio), which makes it difficult to handle multiple-operating-condition problems; 2) Empirical design: The selection and adjustment of design variables such as airfoil thickness layout, lift distribution, and tip speed ratio are heavily dependent on the designer's experience, and often require repeated trial and error, making it difficult to obtain the optimal solution in the global design space. In addition, the analytical results of the analytical design method belong to the optimal Cp design under the ideal induction factor distribution, but may not meet the low load requirements, and cannot further control the efficiency-load.
[0051] In this field, direct numerical optimization methods can also be used for blade design. The direct numerical optimization method is a forward design method, which mainly includes: parametric characterization of the aerodynamic shape characteristics of the blade (such as chord length, twist angle, thickness distribution, etc.), driving the change of design parameters through a mathematical optimization algorithm, generating a new blade shape, evaluating aerodynamic efficiency, load characteristics, and geometric structure characteristics, and repeatedly iterating until the performance of the new shape meets the design goals. The direct numerical optimization method has the following disadvantages: This method generally optimizes the macroscopic aerodynamic characteristics of the wind turbine blade (such as power coefficient Cp, power generation, limit load, etc.), and it is difficult to control the operating load characteristics and aerodynamic risks of different blade element positions in the blade span (such as load distribution balance, local stall risk, etc.).
[0052] In response to the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a wind turbine blade design method, device, equipment, medium and product that can handle multiple working conditions and obtain the optimal solution in the global design space. Furthermore, it can also achieve dual design control of macro blade performance indicators and local aerodynamic loads.
[0053] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a wind turbine blade design method provided in an embodiment of the present application;
[0054] Next, combine Figure 1 The wind turbine blade design method of the embodiment of the present application is introduced, and the wind turbine blade design method includes the following steps:
[0055] S110, obtaining input configuration data and value ranges corresponding to a plurality of design variables, wherein the configuration data includes wind condition data, wind turbine unit data adapted to the blade, blade data, model-related data, and airfoil data;
[0056] S120, selecting a variable value of a design variable from value ranges corresponding to each of the plurality of design variables;
[0057] S130, performing blade shape analysis based on the configuration data and the selected variable values to obtain candidate shape data and performance data of the blade;
[0058] S140, evaluating whether the performance data meets preset conditions based on the objective function and the constraint conditions;
[0059] S150, if the conditions are not met, select the variable values of the design variables from the value ranges corresponding to the multiple design variables again, and return to perform blade shape analysis based on the configuration data and the selected variable values to obtain candidate shape data and performance data of the blade, until the performance data meets the preset conditions or the number of iterations reaches the preset number, and the candidate shape data obtained from the last analysis is determined as the final shape data of the blade.
[0060] According to the wind turbine blade design method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the blade shape can be analyzed based on the configuration data and multiple design variables to obtain candidate shape data and performance data of the blade. Compared with the single working condition design of the prior art, the solution of the present application can handle multi-working condition problems, and each design variable has its own corresponding value range. Through continuous iteration, the variable value that makes the blade performance meet the optimal performance can be found. Therefore, the optimal solution in the global design space can be obtained.
[0061] Regarding the above S110, the configuration data includes: a) wind condition data, such as air density, annual average wind speed, turbulence intensity, wind shear index, wind speed probability distribution, etc.; b) wind turbine unit data adapted to the blades, such as the number of blades, rated power, rotor diameter, hub radius, tower height, rotor inclination and elevation, rotor speed range, cut-in and cut-out wind speeds, control type, etc.; c) blade data, such as blade root pitch circle diameter, maximum chord length; d) model-related data, such as the number of blade elements in the BEM model, the maximum number of iterations of the induction factor, the iteration tolerance of the induction factor, etc.; e) airfoil data, including airfoil geometry data and aerodynamic data, wherein the airfoil geometry data is usually a two-dimensional coordinate with a certain format, and the aerodynamic data needs to provide aerodynamic coefficients (lift coefficient, drag coefficient, moment coefficient, etc.) in polar coordinates within a complete 360-degree attack angle range.
[0062] Selecting airfoil data is also called selecting "basic airfoil". The aerodynamic layout of the blade can be regarded as the accumulation of infinite blade airfoils with different thicknesses, chord lengths, and twist angles along a specific axis. The so-called "basic airfoil" is a family of airfoils with a finite number of different relative thicknesses, and its relative thickness range covers the relative thickness distribution of the airfoils contained in the target blade; the infinite blade airfoil shapes and aerodynamic data constituting the blade are generated by the basic airfoil using a specific algorithm, such as a linearized or nonlinear interpolation algorithm. There are certain principles for the selection of basic airfoils. Under the condition that there are sufficient alternative airfoil families, the appropriate airfoil family should be selected according to different blade design problems. For example, for the design of wind turbine blades operating in low wind speed, high turbulence, and high wind shear areas, an airfoil family with a relatively gentle stall should be selected; for wind turbines whose operating environment is prone to causing dirt and roughening of the blade surface, an airfoil family with a low sensitivity to leading edge roughness should be selected.
[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, multiple design variables include a design tip speed ratio and a design lift coefficient, an induced clipping factor, and a relative thickness at multiple different blade span positions, and the candidate shape data of the blade include the twist angle distribution and the chord length distribution of each blade element segment, wherein the induced clipping factor is the percentage deviation between the actual design application induction factor of the blade element segment and the induction factor under the theoretical optimal power coefficient assumption.
[0064] Specifically, the analytical design method relied on by the present application is based on the BEM model, which divides a complete blade into a limited number of blade segments (blade elements), and solves the shape parameters (chord length, twist angle, etc.) of a blade element segment according to the given input parameters of the blade element segment. After obtaining the shape parameter points of all blade element segments, the shape distribution of the entire blade is obtained. The design variables include the design tip speed ratio, the induction factor distribution (the induction factor of the blade element segment at different positions in the blade span, including the axial induction factor and the tangential induction factor), the relative thickness distribution of the blade element airfoil, and the aerodynamic characteristics of the blade element airfoil (including the lift coefficient, the drag coefficient and its corresponding angle of attack).
[0065] Among the above-mentioned design variables, except for the design tip speed ratio variable, the remaining design variables can be regarded as numerical distributions along the span direction of the blade. The actual number of variables of each design variable (such as the axial induction factor) depends on the number of blade element segment units obtained by discretizing the blade; the more blade element segments the blade is divided into, the more actual design variables the design variable has. A larger number of blade segment units can improve the accuracy of blade aerodynamic analysis, but it increases the calculation cost. In general, for blades of a length of 100 meters, the number of blade element segments that need to be divided is more than 50. If the design variables of all blade segments are used as design variables, the design variable matrix of the optimization problem will undoubtedly be too large and the design space will be too complex. In order to simplify the problem, the present application adopts a method of defining its distribution curve through a limited number of design variable points at specific blade span positions to realize the parameterization of each design variable. The specific blade element position points selected in the present application are 8 relative positions of the blade span direction, namely 0%, 15%, 25%, 35%, 55%, 85%, 95%, and 100%. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the relative thickness layout and lift coefficient layout of the airfoil. Figure 2, the definition points of the design lift coefficient and relative thickness and the distribution curves they control are given, where the spline curve defined by the lift coefficient values at 8 spanwise positions gives the design lift coefficient distribution of the entire blade, and further, the lift coefficient values at the corresponding blade element positions can be generated according to the required number of discrete blade element units and a certain blade element discreteness criterion. This method can effectively reduce the number of design variables in the optimization problem (in the example given in the figure, it is controlled by 8 blade spanwise position definition points, but the blade root is a cylindrical segment and is usually set to a fixed value. This application uses a fixed blade spanwise position (the horizontal axis coordinate of the definition point) and only uses the design variable value (the vertical axis coordinate of the definition point) as a variable, so the number of lift coefficient-related variables is 7). The same method is used to define other design variables in a parameterized manner.
[0066] Among them, the design lift coefficient, drag coefficient and design angle of attack are one-to-one corresponding to a specific airfoil. After the design lift coefficient distribution is defined, the corresponding drag coefficient distribution and design angle of attack distribution can be obtained according to the aerodynamic curve characteristics of the airfoil without redundant definition. Therefore, this application uses the design lift coefficient of the airfoil as the main design variable for parameterization, and does not parameterize the drag coefficient and angle of attack distribution to reduce the number of design variables.
[0067] Among them, the parametric distribution of the induction factor is parameterized by means of additional factors. The classic analytical design of blades is based on the optimal Cp assumption, that is, the axial induction factor of the entire blade span to each blade element segment meets the ideal conditions of momentum theory (a simplified solution is that the ideal axial induction factor of the entire blade is 1 / 3). In order to improve the conditional extremes of the classic analytical design method, the design method proposed in this application uses the induction factor as a design variable, rather than limiting it to a single ideal value, so as to achieve a trade-off between aerodynamic efficiency and load in multiple working conditions. Furthermore, this application does not directly control
[0068] The axial induction factor is defined on the basis of retaining the optimal Cp induction assumption. The tailoring factor AF of the induction factor is defined as the actual design application induction factor a of the blade segment and the induction factor a under the theoretical optimal Cp assumption. ideal The deviation percentage of AF is as follows: when AF=0, it means that the induction factor of the blade element design is the ideal induction factor value. Similarly, the control point at a specific blade span position is used to define the entire induction tailoring factor AF distribution, and the control point group is the design variable related to the induction factor.
[0069] AF=(aa ideal ) / a ideal
[0070] After parameterizing the above design variables such as the design tip speed ratio, the induction factor distribution, the airfoil relative thickness distribution, the airfoil lift coefficient distribution, etc., the design variable matrix of the blade design method of the present application is obtained, as shown in Table 1 below:
[0071] Table 1 Design variables table
[0072]
[0073]
[0074] It should be noted that the distribution curve may be defined by the curve distribution in the example or by a linear distribution; the blade span position points may increase, decrease or change, but this does not affect the validity of the method proposed in this application.
[0075] Regarding the above S120 and S130, variable values of design variables are selected from the value ranges corresponding to the multiple design variables; the blade shape is analyzed based on the configuration data and the selected variable values to obtain candidate shape data and performance data of the blade.
[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, blade shape analysis is performed based on the configuration data and the selected variable values to obtain candidate shape data and performance data of the blade, including:
[0077] Generate an aerodynamic data table of each blade element airfoil of the blade according to the configuration data and the selected variable values;
[0078] Based on the aerodynamic data table, the twist angle distribution and chord length distribution of each blade element are obtained;
[0079] Integrate the torsion angle distribution and chord length distribution of all blade element segments to obtain candidate shape data of the blade;
[0080] The performance of the blade is analyzed according to the candidate shape data of the blade to obtain the performance data of the blade.
[0081] Furthermore, before integrating the torsion angle distribution and chord length distribution of all blade element segments to obtain candidate shape data of the blade, the design method of the wind turbine blade may further include:
[0082] The twist angle distribution and chord length distribution of the blade root section and the blade tip section in each blade element section are simplified to obtain the simplified twist angle distribution and chord length distribution of the blade root section and the blade tip section. The simplified processing includes linear processing and nonlinear clipping.
[0083] Regarding the blade shape analysis, the blade shape analysis can be performed based on the BEM model to obtain the candidate shape data of the blade and the performance data of the blade.
[0084] Among them, the performance data of the blade may include aerodynamic performance data and geometric feature data. The aerodynamic performance analysis of the blade can be realized based on the aerodynamic calculation tool of the BEM model to obtain the aerodynamic performance data of the blade, and the geometric characteristics of the blade can be analyzed based on the geometric analysis tool to obtain the geometric feature data of the blade.
[0085] Figure 3 The blade chord length and twist angle distribution obtained by conventional analytical design;
[0086] Regarding the simplified processing, in general, the distribution of chord length and twist angle obtained by analytical design is as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 As shown, the chord length and twist angle of the blade root area are too large, which is not conducive to production and manufacturing. In actual blades, the blade root is usually designed as a cylindrical section, and the blade tip is designed with a tapered chord length distribution. Since the aerodynamic load of the blade root accounts for a small proportion, the blade tip post-processing area is only a few meters, and the geometric post-processing method required for blade engineering design does not affect the validity of this application.
[0087] Regarding the above S140 and S150, the objective function and constraints are used to evaluate whether the performance data meets the preset conditions; if not, the variable values of the design variables are selected again from the value ranges corresponding to the multiple design variables, and the blade shape analysis based on the configuration data and the selected variable values is returned to obtain candidate shape data and performance data of the blade, until the performance data meets the preset conditions or the number of iterations reaches the preset number, the candidate shape data obtained from the last analysis is determined as the final shape data of the blade.
[0088] In some embodiments of the present application, the performance data includes aerodynamic performance data and geometric characteristic data, and the objective function and constraint conditions are used to evaluate whether the performance data meets the preset conditions, including:
[0089] evaluating whether the aerodynamic performance data and the geometric characteristic data meet the first preset condition;
[0090] When it is determined that the aerodynamic performance data and the geometric characteristic data meet the first preset condition, it is evaluated whether the aerodynamic performance data and the geometric characteristic data meet the second preset condition.
[0091] The aerodynamic performance data include at least one of the power coefficient, annual power generation, blade root limit load and aerodynamic characteristics, the aerodynamic characteristics may include the design lift coefficient and the design angle of attack, and the geometric characteristic data include at least one of the absolute thickness distribution, blade surface area, blade aspect ratio and wind rotor solidity;
[0092] The first preset condition includes that at least one of the absolute thickness, stall margin, power coefficient and blade root load satisfies the preset constraint value, the stall margin includes the stall margin of the design lift coefficient or the stall margin of the design angle of attack, and the second preset condition includes that the function value of a multi-objective function with at least one of the power coefficient, annual power generation, blade root limit load and aerodynamic characteristics and at least one of the absolute thickness distribution, blade surface area, blade aspect ratio and wind rotor solidity as targets is maximized.
[0093] Specifically, after parameterizing the design variables and obtaining the design variable matrix, it is necessary to further define the objective function and constraint matrix of the blade aerodynamic layout optimization to form a complete mathematical model of the optimization problem.
[0094] For example, the objective function of blade aerodynamic layout optimization proposed in this application includes at least the annual power generation of the blade and the blade root load, so as to improve the defect that the original analytical design method cannot perform multi-objective design, and can further include blade power coefficient, axial thrust, geometric structure parameters (such as blade surface area, absolute thickness, blade solidity, aspect ratio) and other characteristics. The objective function expression can be expressed as:
[0095] F obj =s 1 .w 1 .f aerody +s 2 .w 2 .f geo
[0096] Where s is the normalization factor of the sub-goal parameter, w is the weight coefficient; f aerody f is the target parameter related to blade aerodynamics, which can be composed of one or more of the following aerodynamic parameter indicators: such as blade power coefficient, annual power generation, blade root load, axial thrust, etc.; geo The target parameter is related to the blade geometry and may be composed of one or more of the following geometry parameters: absolute thickness, surface area, solidity, aspect ratio, etc.
[0097] In the present application, multiple target parameters (power generation, load, geometric structure parameters, etc.) can be controlled through the objective function to achieve a balance of multiple target parameters.
[0098] In terms of constraints, firstly, the method proposed in this application can impose constraints on all the above-mentioned target parameters (especially core target parameters such as power generation, load, Cp, etc.) to form a constraint matrix; further, in order to improve the problem that it is difficult to directly control the local aerodynamic risk of blade elements in traditional direct numerical optimization methods of blades, the proposed constraint matrix also includes aerodynamic characteristics related to the local load and stall characteristics of blades, such as stall margin, etc.; the stall margin proposed in this application is limited from two aspects: the design lift coefficient or the design angle of attack, requiring the design lift coefficient to be lower than the maximum lift coefficient by more than 0.4, and the design angle of attack to be lower than the critical stall angle of attack by more than 4 degrees. In addition, in order to improve the feasibility of the structural stiffness of the aerodynamic design results, the absolute thickness of a specific cross-section is further selected as a constraint condition. An example of the main constraints proposed in this application is summarized in the following table (the specific values in the table are only for illustrative purposes).

[0101] Based on the wind turbine blade design method of the present application, whether the new design meets the target is determined by defining design variables, generating blade shapes, analyzing blade performance, and judging whether design goals and constraints are met; if not, the design variables are driven to change through the optimization algorithm, a new blade shape is generated, and the next round of iteration is entered, until the target is achieved or the set number of iterations is terminated. The present application combines the numerical optimization design of wind turbine blades with the analytical design method, which can achieve the balance of macroscopic multi-objective parameters of wind turbine blades under multiple working conditions (power generation, load, geometric structure parameters, etc.), while controlling the local load conditions and aerodynamic risks at different spanwise positions, thereby improving the aerodynamic adaptability of the design results.

[0117] Next, combine Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the wind turbine blade design method of the embodiment of the present application is explained through a specific example.
[0118] A case design of a blade length of 110m+ is carried out for a 10MW wind turbine platform. This case uses the general DU airfoil family (the relative thickness of the basic airfoil is 40%, 35%, 30%, 35%, 21%, plus a 100% thick circular cross-section airfoil, a total of six airfoils) as the basic airfoil for design description. Table 3 gives some key input parameters. The platform adapted to the target blade is a 10MW host platform, and the blade length is limited to around 110m.
[0119] Table 3 Main input parameters of blade case design
[0120]
[0121]
[0122] Table 4 gives the definition of the upper and lower boundaries of the main design variables. The design tip speed ratio range is 10.5-12.5. The thickness distribution range of the airfoil and the distribution of its lift characteristics are set considering the aerodynamic characteristics of the DU airfoil family. In general, the relative thickness distribution of the blade decreases monotonically from the root to the shoulder of the blade. Since the thick airfoil (40% thick airfoil) in the DU airfoil series is highly sensitive to the roughness of the leading edge, in order to ensure the low roughness sensitivity of the blade, it is necessary to limit the spanwise range of the thick airfoil. In this case, the relative thickness of the airfoil near 25% of the blade is limited to 37.5%-41%. The setting of the lift coefficient design variable is based on two criteria. On the one hand, in order to make the design space cover the optimal Cp point, the lift coefficient at the definition point must cover the lift coefficient corresponding to the maximum lift-to-drag ratio of the corresponding basic airfoil; on the other hand, in order to actively control the stall risk of the local blade element, the upper limit of the airfoil lift coefficient at the definition point is required to be kept at a distance of more than 0.4 from the corresponding maximum lift coefficient value of the airfoil. The definition of the induced trimming factor is set to 0 for the definition points within 85% (following the ideal induced distribution), and a certain low induced trimming space is set for the three definition points of the blade tip to perform low load design optimization.
[0123] It should be noted that in another case optimization, all induced trimming factors were set to 0, and the design was performed without considering induced trimming for comparative analysis.
[0124] Table 4 Variable matrix of case design
[0125]
[0126]
[0127] Table 5 gives the main constraint parameters of the case optimization design, where the lower boundary of the optimal Cp is set to 0.45, and the maximum value of the blade root load My is limited to no more than 35000 kNm. In addition, constraints are imposed on the absolute thickness of the key spanwise positions of the blade structure to ensure that the optimized shape can provide sufficient structural stiffness.
[0128] Table 5 Case design constraints
[0129]
[0130]
[0131] The specific objective function of the case optimization is a multi-objective function of annual power generation, blade root limit load and absolute thickness, as shown below; it should be noted that the specific objective function can be expanded with the complexity of the problem, and the following formula is only an example.
[0132] F obj =s 11 .w 11 .AEP+s 12 .w 12 .My_Max+s 21 w 21 AbsThick
[0133] As mentioned above, s 11 ,s 12 is the aerodynamic normalization factor, w 11 ,w 12 is the aerodynamic-related weight coefficient; s 21 is the geometry-related normalization factor, w 21 are weights and coefficients related to the geometric structure. The normalization factor is calculated according to the magnitude of each parameter, and the weight coefficient is allocated in a ratio of 1, 2, and 1. The specific expression of the objective function is:
[0134] F obj =0.000025AEP-0.00005My_Max+AbsThick
[0135] Attached Figure 5 Two design results based on this application are given, namely Optimization Case 1 and Optimization Case 2. These case design results are iterated with a design result (initial case) using a traditional forward direct numerical optimization method as the initial solution. The result of Optimization Case 1 is to set all induced trimming variables to 0, that is, the induced factors all use the ideal induced factor distribution during the iteration process; the result of Optimization Case 2 is to use all the design variables in Table 4 for iteration. The comparison of the core blade performance parameters of the three design results is shown in Table 6. The blade element load characteristic distribution (circulation distribution) of the three design schemes is shown in the attached figure. Figure 6 shown.
[0136] Table 6 Comparison of main performance parameters of case design results
[0137]
[0138] The results given in Table 6 are the aerodynamic characteristic parameters under the respective optimal conditions. The three schemes compared do not indicate that one result is the best, but are only used to illustrate the advantages of the scheme proposed in this application and the potential for further improving the performance of the blade. It can be seen from the table that, based on the initial case, the optimized case 1 obtained by the present application further improves the power generation of the initial blade while significantly reducing the blade root limit bending moment load My_Max, better balancing the aerodynamic efficiency-load ratio of the blade, and the ratio of power generation to load increases from 0.986 to 1.057. Note that, as mentioned above, the result of the optimized case 1 is the case where the induced trimming factors all adopt the ideal value (all the induced trimming factor variables are set to 0). When the induced trimming factor variables are further activated, that is, the settings in Table 4 are adopted, the design result obtained is the optimized case 2. It can be seen that the trimming optimization of the induction factor at the tip of the blade can achieve a reduction of about 1% in the power generation relative to the initial reference blade, and a 10% reduction in the blade root bending moment load. At this time, the aerodynamic load efficiency ratio is further optimized, and the power generation to load ratio increases from 0.986 to 1.098.
[0139] On the other hand, the load comparison of the three blades is shown in the following figure. Figure 6 It can be seen that the two results obtained by the aerodynamic layout hybrid design optimization method proposed in this application are more balanced and smoother than the load of the initial reference blade, and improve the aerodynamic risk caused by the local load mutation of the initial reference blade.
[0140] The above case results are only used as a verification of the blade optimization method proposed in this application.
[0141] The wind turbine blade design method proposed in this application, on the one hand, utilizes the design features of load balancing and controllable aerodynamic risk of local blade elements of traditional analytical design methods, avoiding the problems of sudden load changes and difficult to control aerodynamic risks of local blade elements in traditional direct design methods of numerical optimization of blade shape. On the other hand, the globalization and automated design advantages of numerical optimization design technology are applied to the analytical design method of transmission to improve it; in particular, through the parametric control of its design elements, the single-operating-condition and experience-dependent characteristics of the original analytical design method are eliminated; more importantly, through the parametric control of the distribution of induced factors, the limit condition restrictions (optimal Cp conditions) of the original design method are improved, and the design space of the analytical design method is fully expanded, which can realize the dual design control of macro blade performance indicators and local aerodynamic loads.
[0142] In addition, the wind turbine blade design method of the present application can also be improved in the following ways:
[0143] (1) Slightly change the spanwise position and number of design variables;
[0144] (2) Simply expand the composition or constraints of the optimization objective function;
[0145] (3) Simply change the weight coefficient, normalization factor, etc. of the sub-objective function;
[0146] (4) Slightly change the geometric post-processing method of the non-main wind energy capture area of the blade root or blade tip;
