Abstract
Description
A method for full-field, global wake analysis of wind farms based on yaw control Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of wind turbine wake calculation technology, and more specifically, to a method for full-field, full-domain wake analysis of wind farms based on yaw control. Background Technology
[0002] To promote the achievement of "dual carbon" goals, new energy industries such as wind power are experiencing rapid development. During operation, wind turbines extract kinetic energy from incoming currents, creating a low-speed wake downstream. In large wind farms, due to the large number of turbines, downstream turbines inevitably operate in this low-speed wake, resulting in significant power losses and severely impacting the operational efficiency of the wind farm.
[0003] Active yaw control technology reduces the negative impact of wake ducts on downstream turbines by controlling the yaw angle of upstream wind turbines, thereby effectively improving the operating efficiency of wind farms. This technology relies on accurate prediction of the wake ducts from yaw-driven wind turbines. An efficient and accurate wake prediction method can be an effective tool for precise control of wind farms and improving their operational efficiency.
[0004] Currently, a series of models for predicting the wake of yaw wind turbines have been proposed in relevant literature, such as the wake models of BP, QI, Shen, and Zhang (see existing literature 1: Bastankhah, M., Portt-Agel, F., 2016. Experimental and theoretical study of wind turbine wakes in yawed conditions. Journal of Fluid Mechanics 806, 506-541; Existing literature 2: Qian, GW, Ishihara, T., 2018. A New Analytical Wake Model for Yawed Wind Turbines. Energys 11(3), 665; Existing literature 3: Shen, WZ, Lin, JW, Jiang, YH, Feng, J., Cheng, L., Zhu, WJ, 2023. A novel yaw wake model for wind farm control applications. Renewable Energy 218, 11946; Existing literature 4: Zhang, ZY, Huang, P., Bitsuamlak, G., Cao, SY, 2024. Analytical solutions foryawed wind-turbine wakes with application to wind-farm power optimization by active yaw control. Ocean Engineering 304, 117691). However, existing models have certain shortcomings in terms of applicability and prediction accuracy. Among the existing models, most models such as BP, Shen, and Zhang can only be used for far-field wake prediction. Although the QI model can be used for near-field and far-field wake prediction, it cannot reflect the characteristics of the skewed distribution of yaw wake, affecting the prediction accuracy of the model. In addition, the above models are only suitable for predicting the wake distribution of a single wind turbine on flat terrain. Due to the influence of terrain effects in mountainous areas, the wind acceleration effect at the top of the mountain provides richer wind resources. In the case of wind farm wake prediction in complex terrain with high wind energy potential, higher requirements are placed on the applicability of wake analysis models.
[0005] Therefore, a wake analysis method with wide applicability and high accuracy is proposed, which takes into account the influence of wind turbine wake yaw control and topographic effects in complex terrain. It has the ability to efficiently predict the wake velocity of the entire wind farm, which is of great significance for guiding the construction and operation of wind farms. Summary of the Invention

It can quickly complete the calculation task and is particularly suitable for efficient analysis and calculation in the process of wind farm layout optimization and collaborative control.

[0169] The hill height H = 50m; the characteristic length L1 = 200m. The wind turbine is installed at position x = 0. The calculation steps are as follows:
[0170] First, based on the inflow velocity u 0f The inflow wind speed u on the hill can be calculated using formulas (2) and (3). 0c In formula (2), the terrain shape parameter b = 4.
[0171] The subsequent calculation steps are the same as in Examples 1 and 2. Finally, the wake velocity of the wind turbine across the entire field is determined by formulas (23) and (24) based on the initial velocity deficit and the inflow velocity at complex terrain. Figure 6 shows the velocity deficit Δu and inflow wind velocity u at different locations downstream of the wind turbine wake center. 0f The ratio is shown in the figure. As can be seen from the results, except at extremely close distances to the wind turbine, this application can predict the wind turbine wake velocity distribution well under complex terrain.
