Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fan speed field calculation, and in particular to a new yaw fan wake calculation model method. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous progress of wind power generation technology, the scale of wind farms is becoming increasingly large, the mutual influence between wind turbines is becoming increasingly complex, and the mutual influence between wind farms is also growing. In order to pursue higher energy conversion efficiency, modern wind power facilities are developing towards the trend of gigantism and dense layout. This is not only reflected in the expansion of the scale of single wind turbines, but also the planning of the entire wind farm tends to be compact, striving to deploy more equipment within a limited geographical area. The resulting problem is the impact of wake effects on the overall performance of the wind farm. And accurately describing the meandering of the yaw fan wake is crucial. In past studies, most yaw analysis models used superposition models to consider the interaction of wind turbine wakes, which would bring certain errors. The present invention proposes a new yaw fan wake calculation model method, based on the CFD actuator line model and an improved Jensen wake model, for analyzing the yaw of tandem wind turbines. When the wind turbine yaws or moves, the center of its wake will inevitably shift. As the wake develops, it will cause large-scale expansion and meandering of the wake, which will cause great difficulties in wake prediction. Accurate tracking of the wake center is crucial. Therefore, the present invention proposes a search zero-point method for the problems existing in the application of the existing wake center tracking method to the wake model. It solves the problems of the existing wake center tracking method and makes it applicable to the hybrid wake model. This not only realizes wake center tracking but also ensures the velocity continuity between hybrid models. The aim is to accurately calculate the impact of the wind turbine wake considering the yaw angle on the wind farm. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a new yaw fan wake calculation model method, introducing a search zero-point method, which solves the problems of insufficient accuracy and applicability of the existing wake model in wake center tracking. In addition, the present invention also uses the tracer particle method to calculate the meandering of the yaw wake, effectively solving the problem of predicting the wind turbine wake considering the yaw factor. The specific implementation is as follows: Use the CFD method based on the actuator line theory to simulate and calculate the near wake field of the wind turbine, then use the search zero-point method to determine the wake center, and then use the improved Jensen model to simulate and calculate the far wake field of the wind turbine. In the coupling area, the exponential factor is used to neutralize and smooth the calculation of CFD and Jensen. Compared with the medium-precision wake model, this coupling method has higher calculation accuracy; compared with the high-precision model, this coupling method has lower calculation cost and is suitable for preliminary estimation calculations in engineering.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a new method for calculating the wake of a yaw wind turbine, which includes the following steps:

[0005] S1. When performing numerical simulation of the wind turbine wake effect, divide the computational domain into three regions, including the near-wake region C1 of the wind turbine, the coupling region C2, and the far-wake region C3 of the wind turbine. Set the time step to T, and set the initial conditions for the velocity fields of the three regions: V C1 , V C2 and V C3 . Initialize the velocity vector as (V wind , 0, 0), where V wind represents the wind speed of the initial uniform wind field.

[0006] S2. During the numerical simulation of the near-wake region C1 of the wind turbine, establish a virtual actuator line model of the wind turbine based on the actuator line theory. Based on the Reynolds-averaged NS equations, introduce a source term to replace the actual wind turbine blades to obtain the velocity field V C11 in the near-wake region of the wind turbine.

[0007] S3. When the wind turbine yaws or moves, it affects the wake. Use the search zero-point method to determine the wake center.

[0008] S4. Use the tracer particle method to calculate the yaw wake meandering.

[0009] S5. During the numerical simulation of the coupling region C2 of the wind turbine, add an exponential relaxation factor to perform coupling calculations on the velocity fields V C11 and V C3 to obtain the velocity field V C2m in the coupling region, where m = 1, 2, 3,....

[0010] S6. During the numerical simulation of the far-wake region C3 of the wind turbine, based on the existing improved Jensen model, combine the velocity field V C2m calculated in step S5 with the wake center P n obtained in S4 as the inlet of the improved Jensen model to obtain the boundary conditions, and then calculate the far-wake velocity field V C3m of the wind turbine through the improved Jensen model.

[0011] S7. Use the new V C31 to repeat step S5 and output the new velocity field V C2(m+1) in the new coupling region.

[0012] S8. Repeat S6 and S7 until the final required far-wake velocity field V C3(m+1) of the wind turbine is calculated.

[0013] Preferably, in step S2, the velocity field V of the near-wake region of the wind turbine is calculated as follows: C11 The process is as follows:

[0014] Set the length of the computational domain of the near-wake region C1 of the wind turbine to x C1 , divide the computational domain of the near-wake region C1 of the wind turbine into grids, and solve the initial velocity field V of the near-wake region of the wind turbine C1 using the Reynolds-averaged NS equations, and add a source term in the Reynolds-averaged NS equations using the actuator line model of the wind turbine to replace the real wind turbine blades.

The body force on these actuator points is represented by f k . The aerodynamic force generated by each blade segment at (x, y, z, t) is given by the following formula:

Based on the Reynolds-averaged NS equations, a source term is introduced to replace the actual wind turbine blades to obtain the velocity field V of the near-wake region of the wind turbine C11 ;

[0076] Set the computational domain length of the near-wake region C1 of the wind turbine to x C1 , divide the computational domain of the near-wake region C1 of the wind turbine into grids, and use the Reynolds-averaged NS equations to solve the velocity field V of the initial near-wake region of the wind turbine C1 Add a source term in the Reynolds-averaged NS equations using the actuator line model of the wind turbine to replace the real wind turbine blades.

Each spanwise section is replaced by an actuator point that generates a body force. The body force on these actuator points is represented by f k . The aerodynamic force generated by each blade segment at (x, y, z, t) is given by the following formula:
