Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lightning protection for offshore wind farms, and particularly to a method for evaluating the annual failure rate of arresters in offshore wind farms considering the randomness of lightning. Background Art

[0002] Offshore wind power has been developing rapidly as an important part of clean energy. Among them, arresters, as the core lightning protection equipment of the electrical system of offshore wind turbines, their operating reliability directly affects the safe and stable operation of wind farms.

[0003] To determine its stability, the prior art needs to analyze the electrical stress of the arrester, and the analysis means are as follows: (1) Analysis object: a single arrester under specific working conditions; (2) Evaluation index: whether the voltage, current, and energy exceed the limit; (3) Simulation means: using electromagnetic transient software such as PSCAD / EMTP; (4) Failure criterion: deterministic analysis based on threshold comparison.

[0004] Since the construction of offshore wind farms changes the local atmospheric electric field and affects the characteristics of cloud-to-ground lightning activity, and the lightning parameters (lightning current amplitude, lightning return stroke type) have significant randomness, the existing analysis means have the following defects: 1. Evaluation limitation: Only for a single arrester, it cannot reflect the overall lightning protection performance of the wind farm; 2. Defect of calculation model: Ignoring the probability distribution characteristics of lightning parameters and lacking differential analysis of different return stroke orders; 3.

[0019] As Figure 1 shown, a method for evaluating the annual failure rate of lightning arresters in an offshore wind farm considering the randomness of lightning includes the following steps: S1.

At this time, conduct a lightning simulation for the th interval and the th stroke sequence, and use the Weibull distribution to calculate the failure probability of the lightning arrester for a single lightning strike in the th interval and the th stroke sequence , (1); Wherein, (2); (3); Wherein, is the -th interval and the -th lightning arrester voltage amplitude under the -th lightning strike sequence, which exceeds the residual voltage under the rated discharge current of the lightning arrester (i.e., the critical lightning voltage) single lightning strike lightning arrester voltage failure probability; is the -th interval and the -th lightning arrester current amplitude under the -th lightning strike sequence, which exceeds the rated discharge current of the lightning arrester (i.e., the critical lightning current) single lightning strike lightning arrester current failure probability; is an intermediate quantity.

[0021] S3. Based on the data of the lightning location system, obtain the statistical results of the offshore lightning parameters, and obtain the cumulative probability of the lightning current amplitude based on the statistical results of the offshore lightning parameters; Step S3 specifically includes the following steps: S31. Use the Arcgis geographic software to screen the lightning current data in the sea area where the offshore wind farm is located in the lightning location system data, and record each lightning strike as a single lightning strike, and count the strike density of the corresponding area, the proportion of various lightning strike sequences, and the lightning current amplitude characteristics corresponding to each lightning strike sequence; Among them, the proportion of each lightning strike sequence includes the proportion of positive single lightning strikes , the proportion of negative single lightning strikes , the proportion of positive first lightning strikes , the proportion of negative first lightning strikes , the proportion of positive subsequent lightning strikes , the proportion of negative subsequent lightning strikes ; S32.

[0024] S5. Considering the lightning - attracting area of the wind turbines in the offshore wind farm, calculate the annual lightning failure rate of the arresters in the offshore wind farm based on the arrester interval failure probability described in step S4.

[0025] Step S5 specifically includes the following steps: S51. Set the lightning attraction area of a single wind turbine as the circular area with the wind turbine as the center and three times the height of the wind turbine as the radius. Obtain the lightning attraction area of a single wind turbine based on the circular area calculation formula, and then multiply it by the number of wind turbines in the offshore wind farm to get the total lightning attraction area. ; S52. Based on the return stroke density and the total lightning attraction area , calculate the annual lightning strike times of the wind turbines in the offshore wind farm : (6); S53. Combine the probability of the failure interval of the arrester , and calculate the annual lightning strike failure rate of the arrester in the offshore wind farm : (7).

[0026] Simulation experiment Use the design of a certain 35kV typical wind turbine in the offshore wind farm to build a lightning electromagnetic transient simulation model of the offshore wind turbine as shown in Figure 2 . Under the working condition of a lightning current amplitude of 200kA, carry out lightning strike simulations under 6 return stroke sequences, and conduct maximum voltage, current, and energy analysis for arrester #1 and arrester #2. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0027] Table 1 Electrical stress of the arrester ;

[0028] Set the critical values of voltage, current, and energy of the 35kV arrester to 134kV, 5kA, and 80.4kJ respectively. According to the simulation results in Table 1, under the working condition of a lightning current amplitude of 200kA, the voltage and current of the arrester are likely to exceed the threshold, while the energy is much less than the threshold (reason: taking the voltage, current, and energy of arrester #1 under 0.25 / 100μs as shown in Figure 3 as an example, it can be seen that although the voltage and current exceed the design threshold, due to the short transient time, the energy does not exceed the limit), so the voltage and current are taken as the electrical parameters that are likely to exceed the limit.

[0029] At the same time, through statistics, the return stroke density in this area is 12.68 times / (km 2 • a), and use the geographic software Arcgis to screen all the data of the offshore wind farms in the lightning location system in this area from 2010 to 2023 for ten years, and obtain the proportion of the 6 return stroke sequences shown in Table 2.

[0030] Table 2 Proportion of 6 return stroke sequences ;

[0031] Furthermore, fitting is performed using the lightning current amplitude cumulative probability function shown in Table 3.

[0032] Table 3 Lightning current amplitude cumulative probability function parameters ;

[0033] Then, taking the lower limit of the lightning current amplitude as 0 kA and the upper limit as 250 kA, with each interval being 5 kA, there are a total of 50 intervals. Using the median of each interval as the lightning current amplitude to represent the interval, the failure probability of the lightning arrester for a single lightning strike is calculated using formula (1). For example, under the first negative return stroke, the failure probabilities of the lightning arrester in the lightning current amplitude intervals [90 kA, 95 kA], [95 kA, 100 kA], [100 kA, 105 kA], and [105 kA, 110 kA] are the corresponding values in the 19th, 20th, 21st, and 22nd intervals shown in Table 4. , , and .

[0034] Table 4 Failure probability of lightning arrester for a single lightning strike ;

[0035] Using formula (5), the interval probability of the lightning arrester failure shown in Table 5 is further calculated.

[0036] Table 5 Interval probability of lightning arrester failure ;

[0037] At this time, setting the calculated result of the lightning attracting area of the wind turbines in this offshore wind farm to be 27.71 km 2 , the return stroke density is 12.68 times / (km 2 •year). Using formula (6), the annual lightning strike times of the wind turbines in this wind farm are calculated to be 351.3628 times. Then, using formula (7), the annual lightning strike failure rate of the lightning arresters in the offshore wind farm shown in Table 6 is calculated.

[0038] Table 6 Annual lightning strike failure rate of lightning arresters in offshore wind farm ;

[0039] Setting the nominal current of arrester #1 and arrester #2 to be 5 kA or 10 kA, the annual failure rate of the lightning arresters in the offshore wind farm under different arrester selection types is further compared, as shown in Table 7 below.

[0040] Table 7 Failure rates of arresters under different selection types ;

[0041] As can be seen from Table 7, by only changing the nominal current of one lightning arrester, the annual failure rate of the lightning arresters in this wind farm can be reduced by 70%, which proves that the calculation of the annual failure rate proposed in the present invention can also provide a theoretical basis for the selection of lightning arresters for offshore wind farms.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify or equivalently replace the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot make the modified technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
