Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of lightning protection, and more particularly, to a wind turbine lightning attachment prediction method, a storage medium and an electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an outdoor overhead structure, wind turbine generators are prone to damage caused by natural lightning. Studying the lightning attachment characteristics of wind turbines helps to understand the attachment law and mechanism of lightning on the blades, thereby optimizing lightning protection design and reducing damage to wind turbines caused by lightning. Currently, the lightning attachment characteristics of wind turbines are generally studied through long gap discharge tests and lightning distribution simulation models.

[0003] The long gap discharge test for predicting lightning attachment has a high cost and a long test time, resulting in relatively low test efficiency. The long gap discharge scale model lightning leader attachment area test can provide some experimental data for predicting lightning behavior, but the investment in equipment, personnel and site is high. In addition, some accidental factors inevitably occur during the experiment, further increasing the workload.

[0004] Lightning distribution simulation models mainly include empirical formula, electrical geometric model and leader development model. The empirical formula method can only obtain the overall probability of wind turbines being struck by lightning, and cannot be refined to the probability of each component of the wind turbine being struck by lightning. Although it simplifies the calculation to some extent, it is difficult to effectively evaluate the lightning risk of each key component of the wind turbine due to the lack of detailed analysis of each component. The electrical geometric model usually associates lightning distance with lightning current amplitude, but ignores the influence of the structure itself. In the leader development model, the development path and speed of the downward leader are random, which means that when modeling lightning, a large number of variables need to be handled, resulting in a very large amount of calculation and a long calculation time.

[0050] Figure 1 A flowchart of the fan lightning attachment prediction method of the embodiments of the present application.

[0051] As shown in Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps:

[0052] Step S101: Obtain the electric field distribution of each component of the fan at a plurality of blade angles and a plurality of electrode positions, and obtain the electric field intensity of each component of the fan.

[0053] Step S102: Derive the lightning stroke distance of each component of the fan based on the electric field intensity of each component of the fan, and optimize the lightning stroke distance of each component of the fan through the relative distance and shielding range of each component of the fan.

[0054] Step S103: Obtain the lightning attachment probability of each component of the fan based on the optimized lightning stroke distance of each component of the fan.

[0055] Step S104: Obtain the final lightning attachment probability of each component of the fan by comprehensively considering the lightning attachment probability of each component of the fan at a plurality of blade angles and a plurality of electrode positions.

[0056] Specifically, the purpose of the present scheme is to provide a fan lightning attachment prediction method, which is based on the randomness of the adjacent leader simulation downward lightning, and considers the actual running state of the fan, instead of the scale model lightning leader attachment area test carried out in the laboratory, so as to reduce or even eliminate the test workload.

[0057] For the cloud-to-wind turbine discharge, as the downward leader approaches, the electric field near the wind turbine gradually increases, when certain conditions such as charge quantity are met, the wind turbine surface produces corona discharge, and then produces upward streamer, and finally develops into one or more head-on leaders, intercepts the downward leader to cause lightning stroke. The surface electric field strength of the wind turbine is related to the strength of air ionization at this position and the development of the streamer, the position with greater surface electric field strength is more likely to produce upward head-on leader, therefore the influence of the materials, shapes and relative positions of the components of the wind turbine on the striking distance cannot be ignored. In this scheme, the striking distance corresponding to different components on the surface of the wind turbine is judged according to the electric field strength, the greater the electric field strength of the component, the greater the corresponding striking distance, so as to judge the lightning attachment probability of different components of the wind turbine.

[0058] In this embodiment, the finite element algorithm is adopted, and the hexahedral mesh is used to divide the calculation domain, so as to convert the continuous domain problem into a discrete domain problem. Considering the calculation time and calculation accuracy, the hexahedral mesh near the wind turbine and the high-voltage electrode is set to be more dense, and the hexahedral mesh far away from the wind turbine and the high-voltage electrode is set to be more sparse, so as to improve the calculation speed on the basis of maintaining a certain calculation accuracy. At the same time, the distributed electric field under the lightning current with different amplitudes and different polarities can be calculated.

[0059] Wherein, the wind turbine surface electric field distribution is solved by Poisson equation, as shown in the following formula:

[0060]

[0061] Wherein, is the Laplace operator, is the electric potential, ρ is the charge density, ε is the relative dielectric constant of the material, and the iterative calculation requires that the calculation accuracy reaches 10 -6 .

[0062] In order to introduce the correction of positive and negative polarity lightning current, the charge density and boundary condition in Poisson equation are modified, and the corrected equation can be expressed as:

[0063]

[0064] Wherein, ρ eff is the corrected equivalent charge density, which is defined as:

[0065] ρ eff = ρ + σ pol |I pol | (3)

[0066] Wherein, I pol is the lightning current amplitude related to polarity, σ pol is a polarity factor, which is a proportional constant related to the response characteristics of the medium. For negative polarity current, σ pol has a low value, and for positive polarity current, σpol The value is higher.

[0067] The surface electric field of each component of the fan will be distorted to different degrees under the action of thundercloud and downward leader, and each component has the ability to generate a head-on leader. When the following two conditions occur, a certain component of the fan can achieve complete protection of another component of the fan:

[0068] (1) The maximum electric field strength of each component of the fan is different, and the maximum electric field strength of each component is used to represent the corresponding protection radius of each component. When the downward leader of lightning first reaches the protection range of a certain object, it will preferentially discharge to the corresponding object. For example, as shown in Figure 2 , taking the blade as an example, the mutual protection between each component on the blade is analyzed. For example, when the protection radius R1 corresponding to the blade lightning arrester 1 can cover the protection radius R2 corresponding to the blade lightning arrester 2, the blade lightning arrester 2 will be shielded by the blade lightning arrester 1, that is, the blade lightning arrester 1 can form protection for the blade lightning arrester 2, and the blade lightning arrester 2 has no possibility of being struck by lightning.

[0069] (2) The three-dimensional structure of the fan model itself is also considered, for example, as shown in Figure 3 , when the downward leader is located at the front of the fan, the lightning rod is located at the relatively back position of the blade and the lightning arrester. In the process of the downward leader developing towards the back components of the fan, the lightning rod, the lightning arrester at the blade root and the lightning arrester at the blade tip will be the first to enter the protection range of the latter, and at this time the former is also considered to be shielded by the latter.

[0070] The longer the simulated striking distance, the greater the corresponding peak return lightning current. When a certain fixed striking distance d is selected, d is defined as the lightning striking distance of the position or component with the maximum surface electric field strength of the fan:

[0071] d = G x I p S (4)

[0072] wherein G and S are two constants, and in the embodiments, G = 10 and S = 0.65 can be taken; I p is the peak lightning current of a return stroke.

[0073] The lightning striking distance of other positions of the fan, i.e. the lightning striking distance of each component of the fan, is represented as follows:

[0074]

[0075] wherein d i is the lightning striking distance of the i th component of the fan, E avg,i is the average electric field strength of the i th component of the fan, E avg,max is the maximum average electric field strength of all components of the fan, and ΔE iΔEi is the maximum value of the electric field gradient of the surface of the i-th component of the wind turbine max ΔE is the maximum value of the electric field gradient of the surface of all components of the wind turbine.

[0076] The electric field intensity of all grid points on the lightning arrester, lightning rod, hub, nacelle and blade surface was calculated considering the geometric size of each component. In order to optimize the lightning stroke distance of each component of the wind turbine through the relative distance and shielding range of each component of the wind turbine, and considering the non-uniformity of electric field distribution and the directionality of shielding effect, an important criterion, the optimization threshold K, was introduced, and its value is:

[0077]

[0078] wherein K is the optimization threshold; d1 and d2 are the lightning stroke distances of the first component and the second component in any two different components of the wind turbine, respectively; x1, y1 and z1 are the horizontal, vertical and vertical coordinate information of the position corresponding to the maximum electric field intensity of the first component in any two different components of the wind turbine, and x2, y2 and z2 are the horizontal, vertical and vertical coordinate information of the position corresponding to the maximum electric field intensity of the second component in any two different components of the wind turbine; α, β and γ are weight factors for balancing the difference in lightning stroke distance, spatial distance and electric field gradient, respectively, and ΔE is the electric field gradient correction term for describing the non-uniformity of the electric field distribution of the protected component and the protected lightning protection system component, which is expressed as follows:

[0079]

[0080] In the formula, E1 and E2 are the maximum electric field intensity of the first component and the second component in any two different components of the wind turbine, respectively, and E is the maximum electric field intensity on the entire wind turbine structure. max The first component is the external lightning protection system protection component, and the second component is the protected lightning protection system component, wherein if K<0, the lightning stroke distances d1 and d2 remain unchanged; otherwise, the optimized lightning stroke distance d2=0.

[0081] For the blade insulation part, nacelle and tower, the corresponding K value of each grid point on the corresponding component is calculated, and the maximum protection radius of all components in K<0 is determined as the protection radius of the component. For each external lightning protection system component of the wind turbine, it is mainly determined whether the component is protected by other lightning protection system components, and the protection relationship between different external lightning protection system components is calculated. If K≥0, the lightning stroke distance of the corresponding component is 0. The corresponding lightning stroke distance of the blade tip lightning arrester, blade lightning arrester, blade root lightning arrester and blade insulation part is the maximum value.

[0082] When the stroke distance is certain and the downward leader develops to a certain position, the electrode position is fixed according to the fixed blade angle, and then the lightning attachment probability of the component at the position is determined according to the lightning stroke distance, i.e. the protection radius:

[0083]

[0084] wherein P i is the lightning attachment probability of the i-th component of the wind turbine, d i is the lightning distance of the i-th component of the wind turbine, and I is the total number of components in the wind turbine. Thus, the lightning attachment probability of each component of the wind turbine based on the optimized lightning distance of each component of the wind turbine is shown in the above formula, i.e. the lightning attachment probability of each component of the wind turbine at a preset blade angle and a preset electrode position is obtained by the ratio of the lightning distance of each component of the wind turbine to the sum of the lightning distances of all components of the wind turbine.

[0085] As shown in Figure 4 , according to the different heights of the leader head, five circular planes A-E can be divided, which are parallel to the horizontal plane, and the D circular plane is located at the same horizontal plane as the center O of the wind turbine model. One rod electrode position is selected on the A circular plane, and seven rod electrode positions are selected on the other four circular planes. The electrode position of the A circular plane, i.e. A1, is recorded as T A1 , which is located at a preset height position directly above the center point O of the wind turbine, and the electrode positions of the other four circular planes are recorded as T Bh , T Ch , T Dh , and T Eh , respectively, h = 1, 2, …, 7, T Dh is located on the first circle, T Eh is located on the second circle, T Ch is located on the third circle, and T Bh is located on the fourth circle. The angles between each electrode position on the B-E circular planes and the center point O of the wind turbine and the horizontal plane are 60°, 30°, 0° and -30°, respectively, and the arc between the adjacent two electrode positions in the same circular plane is 30 degrees. The protection radius of each circular plane is the striking distance, and the distance between the position A1 and the center point O of the wind turbine, i.e. the preset height, is the striking distance R plus the length from the center point O of the wind turbine to the tip of the blade, and the striking distance R is the lightning distance d of the component with the maximum surface electric field strength of the wind turbine.

[0086] It should be noted that the center of the second circle is located at a first distance directly below the center point of the wind turbine, the center of the third circle is located at a second distance directly above the center point of the wind turbine, and the center of the fourth circle is located at a third distance directly above the center point of the wind turbine, the first distance and the second distance are both R x tan30°, and the third distance is R x tan60°.

[0087] The leader positions are shown in Figure 4 , which are a total of 29 leader positions, i.e. electrode positions. The downward leader in nature may develop from multiple directions of the wind turbine, therefore, by taking into account the 29 downward leader positions, the lightning attachment probability of each component of the wind turbine when the blade angle of the wind turbine is a certain fixed value is obtained as follows:

[0088]

[0089] for the blade angle θ k , the average lightning attachment probability of the i-th component of the fan at 29 electrode positions; for the blade angle θ k , the electrode position T j , and the lightning strike attachment probability of the i-th component of the fan, where j represents the serial number of the electrode position.

[0090] When struck by lightning, although the blade is in a rotating state, the rotational speed of the fan blade is basically between 6 r / min and 20 r / min, and the development speed of the downward leader is 100 km / s to 800 km / s. The time for completing the lightning strike is between 120 μs and 180 μs. The rotational angle of the fan blade during the lightning strike process can be ignored, that is, the fan blade can be considered to be in an approximately static state. The angle between the blade and the corresponding horizontal plane of the fan center is defined as the blade angle. When the fan rotates, the blade can be in different operating states, and four different blade angles are considered, including 90°, 60°, 30°, and 0°.

[0091] As shown in Figure 5 , the average value of the lightning strike attachment probability under the four blade angles is selected as the lightning strike attachment probability of each component of the fan during operation:

[0092]

[0093] P(i) is the final lightning strike attachment probability of the i-th component of the fan.

[0094] As shown in Figure 6 , a discharge test platform for a scaled model of the fan is built to verify the effectiveness of the prediction method of the present application:

[0095] During the test, the prediction method of the present application is used to predict the lightning attachment position, and then the predicted position and the actual test results are compared. The comparison results are shown in Table 1 and Table 2:

[0096] Table 1 Lightning strike attachment probability prediction values of each component of different lightning attracting planes at a lightning strike distance of 50 centimeters

[0097]

[0098]

[0099] The predicted lightning attachment probability of each component in Table 1 is calculated for different lightning attraction planes at a lightning strike distance of 50 cm. For each plane, the calculation result is obtained by adding the data of 7 electrode positions in the plane. After comparing the predicted results with the experimental results, the prediction accuracy of all components is obtained. The goodness of fit is the ratio of the number of successful predictions to the total number of times. These results are consistent with the lightning attachment trend in the discharge test, indicating that the lightning attachment probability of the nacelle and the hub will increase as the height of the high-voltage electrode decreases. By comparing the goodness of fit of the four planes, when the electrode is located above the turbine position, the method of the present application can obtain satisfactory results, with the highest prediction accuracy of 91.86%.

[0102] The predicted lightning attachment probability of each component in Table 2 is calculated for different lightning attraction planes at a lightning strike distance of 70 cm. Compared with the case of a lightning strike distance of 50 cm, the predicted probability of the lightning arrester 2, the lightning arrester 3, the lightning rod and the blade insulation part has decreased to some extent. However, the predicted probability of the lightning arrester 1 and the hub has increased to some extent. This trend is consistent with the test results.

[0103] Overall, the present method provides an efficient, low-cost and high-precision lightning attachment probability prediction method by using electric field strength calculation and electrical geometric model.
