Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind turbine velocity field calculation, and in particular to a novel wake calculation model method for a yawed wind turbine. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement 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 becoming increasingly greater. In pursuit of higher energy conversion efficiency, modern wind power facilities are developing towards a trend of gigantic and dense layout. This is not only reflected in the expansion of the scale of individual wind turbines, but also in the compact planning of the entire wind farm, striving to deploy more equipment within a limited geographical area. The resulting problem is the impact of the wake effect on the overall performance of the wind farm. Accurately describing the winding of the yaw wind turbine wake is crucial. In previous studies, most yaw analysis models used superposition models to consider the interaction of wind turbine wakes, which would introduce certain errors. This invention proposes a new yaw wind turbine wake calculation model method based on the CFD actuating line model and an improved Jensen wake model for analyzing the yaw of series wind turbines. When a wind turbine yaws or moves, its wake center will inevitably shift. As the wake develops, it will cause large-scale expansion and winding of the wake, which will greatly complicate the prediction of the wake. Accurate tracking of the wake center is crucial. To address the challenges of existing wake center tracking methods when applied to wake models, this paper proposes a zero-point search method. This method overcomes these challenges and makes it applicable to mixed wake models. This method not only achieves wake center tracking but also ensures velocity continuity across mixed models. The goal is to accurately calculate the impact of wind turbine wakes on wind farms, taking into account yaw angles. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a new yaw wind turbine wake calculation model method, introduce a search zero point method, and solve the problem of insufficient accuracy and applicability of existing wake models in tracking the wake center. In addition, the present invention also uses a tracer particle method to calculate the meandering of the yaw wake, which effectively solves the problem of wind turbine wake prediction considering the yaw factor. The specific implementation method is as follows: a CFD method based on the actuating line theory is used to simulate and calculate the near-wake flow field of the wind turbine, and then the search zero point method is used to determine the wake center, and then the improved Jensen model is used to simulate and calculate the far-wake flow field of the wind turbine, and the coupling area uses an exponential factor to neutralize CFD and Jensen for smoothing calculations. Compared with the medium-precision wake model, the coupling method has higher calculation accuracy; compared with the high-precision model, the coupling method has lower calculation cost and is suitable for preliminary estimated calculations in engineering.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a novel yaw wind turbine wake calculation model method comprising the following steps:
