[0002] With the large-scale of wind turbines and the variable working environment of hoisting wind turbine blades, it becomes more and more complex to solve various parameters by using simulation methods, which not only doubles the calculation time, but also may not be accurate. The method of wind tunnel experiment requires a larger experimental site, and the cost is also higher. It is not easy to realize for offshore wind turbines.

[0003] The common methods for identifying modal damping at present mainly include frequency domain identification method and time domain identification method. The frequency domain method needs to have input and output measured data, and needs to use experimental methods to obtain data. Although the data obtained by using experimental methods is more accurate, it is time-consuming and laborious. The time domain method has the advantage that damping identification can be directly performed through response data, but the precision of this method is low.

[0004] The prior art patent with publication number CN114626149A proposes a calculation method for quickly calculating the aerodynamic damping of a wind turbine blade. The steps of this scheme are: inputting the airfoil aerodynamic data of each interface of the blade, calculating the relative wind speed of each interface; calculating the aerodynamic damping of each section of the blade in the wind wheel rotation plane; extracting the wind turbine blade operating modal parameters, including modal main mass, modal mode shape and natural frequency; and calculating the modal aerodynamic damping ratio of the blade. The method has high calculation complexity and strong wind condition dependence. In order to calculate the damping ratio with high precision, various input parameters need to be accurately obtained.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0088] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0089] Example 1:

[0090] This invention provides a method for identifying the aerodynamic damping of the lateral oscillation during wind turbine blade hoisting, such as... Figure 1 The diagram shows a flowchart for identifying the aerodynamic damping of the lateral oscillation during wind turbine blade hoisting. The specific steps are as follows:

[0091] S1: Based on the preset simplified conditions, the free vibration equation of the wind turbine blade hoisting system is output by combining the stiffness parameters of the main hoisting rope and two horizontal auxiliary traction ropes with the three-wire spring blade hoisting model. The natural frequency of the model is then calculated using the free vibration equation.

[0092] More specifically, the preset simplification conditions include:

[0093] 1. The position of the top of the crane is considered to remain constant during the hoisting process. Assume that the position of the center of gravity plane after simplifying the model is [0, 0, 0]. T ;

[0094] 2. Blade yaw rate during hoisting The value is relatively small, which corresponds to the yaw coupling effect being ignored in the simplified model;

[0095] 3. The degrees of freedom are independent of each other, namely pendulum, swing, and rotation;

[0096] 4. The motion of the center of gravity in the simplified model is independent under different degrees of freedom.

[0097] Due to the complex hoisting structure of ultra-long flexible blades, conventional dynamic analysis is difficult to perform, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the liftline is the main sling, and tugger line1 and tugger line2 are the first traction rope and the second traction rope, respectively.

[0098] The blade clamp is equated to a simple pendulum ball, and the hoisting rope is equated to the rope pulling the pendulum ball, simplifying the system into a simple pendulum model for dynamic analysis. The total kinetic energy T and total potential energy V of the pendulum system are obtained as follows:

[0099]

[0100] Where m is the mass of the blade and clamp, g represents the acceleration due to gravity, taken as 9.8 m / s², and l represents the length of the pendulum rope. Indicates the rotation angle. Let be the angular velocity. Based on the above formula, the governing equations of the simple pendulum system are expressed as follows:

[0101]

[0102] in, It is angular acceleration, where l represents the length of the pendulum rope, because the rotation angle... It's very small, so it has Multiplying both sides of the above formula by the mass m, we get the expression:

[0103]

[0104] Therefore, we can obtain:

[0105]

[0106] Based on the above formula, the upper rope can be simplified as a line spring connected to the center of mass, with a spring stiffness of k. During the blade hoisting process, two additional horizontal traction ropes assist in the hoisting operation. These two traction ropes are also simplified as two springs with spring stiffnesses k1 and k2 respectively. The blade hoisting system can then be simplified into a planar system with three line springs, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown.

[0107] The method for calculating the free vibration equation of a wind turbine blade hoisting system includes the following steps:

[0108] The lifting blade and its clamps are considered as a lumped mass. The main sling and the two horizontal auxiliary traction ropes are simplified into three line springs. The spring stiffness parameters of each are obtained, and a simplified three-line spring blade lifting model is established.

[0109] Based on the simplified model's motion, the expressions for the system's total kinetic energy T and total potential energy V are determined as follows:

[0110]

[0111] Among them, (X) C0 ,Y C0 ),(X A0 ,Y A0 ),(X B0 ,Y B0 Let be the initial points of the planar system A, B, C, and θ0 be the initial angle. C1 ,YC1 ),(X A1 ,Y A1 ),(X B1 ,Y B1 Let A, B, and C be the endpoints of the planar system after the motion, where the distances of A, B, and C along the X and Y axes are respectively X, B, and C. AC ,Y AC ,X BC ,Y BC Where m is the mass of the blade clamp, I is the moment of inertia of the blade and clamp on the Y-axis, and θ is the rotation angle. and These represent the velocities in the forward and backward oscillation direction and the up and down flaring direction of the blade, respectively, indicating that the positions of A and B are rotations relative to point C. Let k be the rotational angular velocity, and k, k1, k2 be the spring stiffness of the main sling wire rope, the first traction wire rope, and the second traction wire rope, respectively.

[0112] In dynamic analysis, to use the Lagrange equations, it is necessary to first determine the position and velocity of each particle (or key node) in the system within the global coordinate system. The matrix form of position transformation is precisely the process of transforming local coordinates to the global coordinate system, facilitating the subsequent unified expression of kinetic and potential energy within the same coordinate system. The matrix expression for position transformation is shown below:

[0113]

[0114] In the formula, (X C1 ,Y C1 ),(X A1 ,Y A1 ),(X B1 ,Y B1 () represents the endpoints of the planar system A, B, C after the motion, where the distances of A, B, C on the X-axis and Y-axis represent the distances of X, B, C, C respectively. AC ,Y AC ,X BC ,Y BC .

[0115] R is the transformation matrix from the main fixed frame to the global frame, which is given by the following equation:

[0116]

[0117] For a simple pendulum system, applying the Lagrange equation, the expression is as follows:

[0118]

[0119] L = TV

[0120] Where L is the Lagrangian function; T is the total kinetic energy of the system; V is the total potential energy of the system; q i Let X be the i-th generalized coordinate. C1 Y C1 Even any point in two-dimensional space, The derivative of the i-th generalized coordinate with respect to time is the velocity of that generalized coordinate.

[0121] Substituting the expressions for total kinetic energy and total potential energy into the Lagrange equation, we obtain the following expressions:

[0122]

[0123] Since this invention mainly analyzes the direction of oscillation, q is chosen here. i =X C1 Perform the analysis.

[0124] T only with Related to, not related to X C1 Regarding this, we can obtain:

[0125]

[0126] Therefore, we get:

[0127]

[0128] Where L is about X C1 The function, for Taking the partial derivative, we can obtain:

[0129]

[0130] Therefore, substitute expressions (4) and (5) into the formula. Afterwards, we can obtain:

[0131]

[0132] It is velocity, and the acceleration is obtained by differentiating it with respect to time. We can obtain:

[0133]

[0134] in, It is potential energy with respect to X C1 The partial derivatives of X are substituted into the linearized X. A1 X B1 X C1 After ignoring higher-order minor quantities, we get:

[0135]

[0136] Substituting it into the Lagrange equation and rearranging, we obtain the following expression:

[0137]

[0138] in, For speed The acceleration is obtained by differentiating it with respect to time.

[0139] The natural frequencies of the model are calculated using the free vibration equation, including the following steps:

[0140] At the system's equilibrium position, the derivative of the potential energy is 0, that is...

[0141] k1(X AC cosθ0-Y AC sinθ0)+k2(X BC cosθ0-Y BC sinθ0)=0

[0142] Substituting it into the free vibration equation and simplifying, we get:

[0143]

[0144] From the above formula, we can obtain the simplified model of the wind turbine hoisting system. C1 The natural frequency of the direction is:

[0145]

[0146] Similarly, Y can be obtained. C1 The dynamic equations and related natural frequencies in the θ direction.

[0147] S2: The aerodynamic forces experienced by the wind turbine blades during hoisting are subjected to Taylor expansion based on blade element momentum theory and aerodynamic parameters. The aerodynamic damping force per unit length is calculated using the expansion results.

[0148] The specific process is as follows:

This represents the displacement velocity of the blade. When the wind turbine blade vibrates back and forth under wind load, the above value will change as follows:

[0150]

[0151]

[0152] α=φ-φ0+α0

[0153] According to the blade element momentum theory, the lift L and drag D of the blade cross section are expressed as follows:

[0154]

[0155] Where L is lift, ρ is air density, c is blade element chord length, W is relative inflow velocity, and C is... L (α) represents the lift coefficient at the blade element angle of attack α, r is the radial distance from the hub center of the wind turbine to the blade element center, ρ is the air density, D is the drag, and C is the air density. D (α) is the drag coefficient corresponding to the blade element angle of attack α.

[0156] Projecting lift and drag onto the direction of vibration yields:

[0157]

[0158] Where φ is the inflow angle and β is the twist angle, substituting W, φ, and α into the above equation, we obtain the aerodynamic force F as... The function that will F in Performing a Taylor expansion at this point yields:

[0159]

[0160] Among them, the contribution of aerodynamic damping η r The expression is as follows:

[0161]

[0162] Where F0 is the first term of the Taylor expansion. This is the oscillation velocity caused by the wind load acting on the wind turbine blades during installation, which is a high-order small quantity in the expanded equation; η r The symbol used to represent the right side of the above equation is the lift coefficient C. L Drag coefficient C D C L ′、C′ D These are the lift coefficient gradient and the drag coefficient gradient, respectively, and their expressions are shown below:

[0163]

[0164] From expression (6), the aerodynamic damping force per unit length can be obtained as:

[0165]

[0166] In the formula, r is the radial distance from the center of the wind turbine hub to the center of the blade element.

[0167] S3: Integrate the aerodynamic damping force per unit length along the blade span, input the integration result into the free vibration equation, and output the forced vibration equation under wind load.

[0168] The specific process is as follows:

[0169] Integrating the aerodynamic damping force per unit length about the blade spanwise coordinates yields the total aerodynamic damping force, as shown in the following expression:

[0170]

[0171] Where r is the radial distance from the hub center of the wind turbine to the blade element center, and l is the total length of the blade. The velocity in the direction of the blade's forward and backward oscillation;

[0172] Combining the total aerodynamic damping force with the free vibration equation, we obtain the forced vibration equation containing aerodynamic terms, as shown below:

[0173]

[0174] This leads to the expression:

[0175]

[0176] Where m is the mass of the blade clamp, X C1 Let x be the endpoint coordinate of point A. The velocity in the direction of the blade's forward and backward oscillation. For speed The acceleration is obtained by differentiating with respect to time. k, k1, and k2 are the spring stiffnesses of the main sling wire rope, the first traction rope wire rope, and the second traction rope wire rope, respectively, and the contribution of aerodynamic damping η is the aerodynamic damping. r The expression is as follows:

[0177]

[0178] Where c is the blade element chord length, ρ is the air density, φ0 is the inflow angle of the blade cross-section when the wind turbine blade is stationary, W0 is the relative inflow velocity, β is the twist angle, and C D (α) is the drag coefficient corresponding to the blade element angle of attack α, C L C is the lift coefficient. D C is the drag coefficient. L ′、C′ D These are the lift coefficient gradient and the drag coefficient gradient, respectively.

[0179] S4: Combine the natural frequency of the model with the forced vibration equation to output the aerodynamic damping ratio.

[0180] More specifically, the aerodynamic damping ratio ζ of wind turbine blade hoisting is calculated using the natural frequency and the forced vibration equation, including the following steps:

[0181] The general form of the equation of motion is expressed as follows:

[0182]

[0183] Where M is the mass matrix, C is the damping coefficient matrix, and K is the stiffness coefficient matrix, combined with the forced vibration equation (1), the expression for the damping coefficient matrix C can be obtained as follows:

[0184]

[0185] The general form of the aerodynamic damping ratio is expressed as follows:

[0186]

[0187] Where, ω n Let m be the natural frequency, m be the sum of the masses of the blade and the clamp, and C be the damping coefficient matrix. The damping coefficient matrix expression (2) and the natural frequency expression are:

[0188]

[0189] Substituting into expression (3), we can obtain the expression for the aerodynamic damping ratio ζ as follows:

[0190]

[0209] Based on the calculated aerodynamic damping ratio, identify whether the aerodynamic damping is positive or negative under a given lifting condition;

[0210] When the aerodynamic damping is negative and its absolute value is greater than the damping of the structure itself, the output indicates that there is a risk of aeroelastic instability during blade hoisting.

[0211] In this embodiment, the calculated result is 0.1%. When the aerodynamic damping ratio of the wind turbine blade during hoisting is 0.1% (i.e., 0.001), although this value is within a reasonable range (typically 0.01% to 0.1%) during hoisting conditions, it is still considered acceptable. To verify whether it conforms to the trend, software modeling and simulation were used. Under turbulent wind conditions with an average wind speed of 10 m / s and a turbulence intensity of 15.27%, the vibration trend of the blade root displacement is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the blades exhibit continuous small-amplitude vibrations under wind load, with the amplitude decaying slowly. The calculation method of this invention does not rely on extremely complex real-time wind condition data. By simplifying the conditions and model, it avoids the tedious calculations of wind speed, angle of attack, and lift / drag coefficients for each blade section. Compared with traditional calculation methods, it significantly reduces the consumption of computational resources and can obtain approximately accurate calculation results in a shorter time, making it particularly suitable for the frequent aerodynamic damping calculations required during wind turbine operation.
