Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of reliability analysis of wind turbine blades, and particularly to a reliability modeling method, device, equipment, medium and product for wind turbine blades. Background Art

[0002] During the usage process, the product performance inevitably gradually degrades, such as the aging of rubber, the wear of gears, the drift of resistors, etc. This phenomenon of performance degradation is defined as a process of increasing product degradation amount, which has time continuity. Usually, a degradation threshold is artificially specified, and when the total degradation amount (also known as the degradation state) reaches or exceeds this threshold, it is determined that the product degrades and fails.

[0003] Wind farms are usually located in complex environments such as high altitudes, oceans or deserts. Therefore, wind turbine blades face various failure modes, including not only continuous degradation damages such as stiffness degradation, fatigue damage, airflow erosion, and grit wear; but also may be subjected to impacts from atmospheric particles (such as hail) or wild animals (such as birds and bats), causing the blades to bear random impact loads. These impacts not only accelerate the degradation and failure process of wind turbine blades, but also may directly damage the blades, significantly shortening the blade life. Therefore, as the operation years increase, the probability of unexpected failures or even accidents of the blades greatly increases, seriously threatening the operation safety of wind turbines and the economic benefits of wind farms. However, the current blade design does not consider the impact load, but introduces a relatively high safety factor, resulting in an overly conservative design. With the development of wind turbine blades towards being harder and lighter, and the increasingly perfect health monitoring system, the design concept has changed to considering the impact of impact load on reliability from the perspective of probability theory, making the product more economical and practical.

[0004] Fiber-reinforced composite materials have been widely used in the production of large wind turbine blades, which simplifies the molding process and improves the specific strength and specific stiffness of the blades, but brings the following problems to reliability analysis: ① The failure mechanism of composite materials is complex, and it is necessary to fully consider the dependency relationship of various influencing factors. For wind turbine blades facing the competition of two failure modes of degradation and extreme impact, non-fatal impacts will cause a sudden increase in the degradation state. As the degradation state increases, the ability of the blade to resist impacts weakens, and non-fatal impacts with constant intensity cause a greater degradation increment to blades with severe degradation. ② The degradation performance characteristic quantities of composite material wind turbine blades include stiffness, fatigue damage, wear, erosion, etc., and their focuses are different in different environments and studies, resulting in a variety of degradation models. This indicates that the degradation trajectory model is not applicable to all situations. Therefore, it is necessary to construct a failure model framework for wind turbine blade systems to select the optimal module for specific problems.

[0005] However, there are some deficiencies in the existing research results: ① Most of the research does not comprehensively consider the dependence relationship; ② Most of the degradation modeling is the degradation trajectory model, which is difficult to adapt to complex and diverse actual situations.

[0038] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0039] Aiming at the mutual competition between the degradation failure and impact-induced sudden failure of composite wind turbine blades, and the reliability analysis problem caused by the coupling of various failure mechanisms, the present application proposes a reliability modeling method for wind turbine blades based on a double-interdependent relationship competing failure model. Figure 2 Shows the degradation failure process: the total degradation amount S is the sum of the continuous degradation amount X and the stepwise cumulative damage caused by impacts ; the degradation threshold H is a random variable, and its mean and variance do not change with time. Figure 2 In (a)-(c) of represents the average value of the degradation threshold H, and ΔX1, ΔX2 are the continuous degradation increments in different time intervals.

[0040] Figure 3 Shows the extreme impact-induced sudden failure process. The duration of the impact event is extremely short and can be approximated as an instantaneous process. In addition, it is required that the arrival of random impacts follows a homogeneous Poisson process. This means that during the life cycle of the blade, the occurrence of impact events is uniform and random, that is, the probability of an impact occurring at any time point is the same. Mathematically, this can be expressed as the impact arrival rate λ being a constant that does not change with time.

[0041] As Figure 2 - Figure 3 shown, the characteristics of the double interdependent relationship competition failure model are that as the total degradation amount S increases, the shock threshold D decreases, while the shock damage Y caused by the same intensity shock W increases. Generally speaking, the model of the present application not only comprehensively considers the coupling relationship between various mechanisms, but also can select appropriate degradation models and shock intensity distributions according to different materials and working conditions, thereby improving the accuracy and generality of the reliability analysis of composite wind turbine blades.

[0042] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present application more obvious and understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, a method for reliability modeling of wind turbine blades is provided. This method is executed by a computer device, and specifically can be executed alone by a computer device such as a terminal or a server, or can be jointly executed by a terminal and a server. In the embodiments of the present application, taking this method applied to a server as an example for explanation, it includes the following steps S1 to S6. Among them:

[0044] S1: Determine the assumptions of the wind turbine blade system. The assumptions of the wind turbine blade system include: the first assumption, the second assumption, the third assumption, the fourth assumption, the fifth assumption, the sixth assumption, the seventh assumption, and the eighth assumption.

[0045] The present application establishes the following assumptions for the wind turbine blade system to accurately describe the effects and application scopes of the model in mathematical language:

[0046] The first assumption: There are only two failure modes in the wind turbine blade system, extreme shock type sudden failure and continuous performance degradation failure.

[0047] The second assumption: The arrival times of random shocks follow a homogeneous Poisson process with parameter λ > 0.

[0048] The third assumption: According to the shock intensity W (W ≥ 0), the shock types are divided into fatal shocks and non-fatal shocks; when W is greater than or equal to the shock threshold D, it is a fatal shock, and the wind turbine blade system has a sudden failure; otherwise, it is a non-fatal shock, and the wind turbine blade system is damaged by the shock.

[0049] The fourth assumption: The degradation threshold H is a random variable defined on the interval (h L , h R ) (0 ≤ h L < h R ), and its distribution parameters are constants that do not change with time. h L and h RThe specific value of depends on the distribution that the degradation threshold H follows. For example, when H follows a lognormal distribution, there are h L = 0, h R = +∞.

[0050] Fifth assumption: The total degradation amount S of the wind turbine blade system consists of the continuous degradation amount X and the sum of all impact damages constitute (S, X, Y i ≥ 0); Therefore, S is a left-continuous function of time t, and its jump discontinuity points are located at the moments when non-fatal impacts occur; when S is greater than or equal to the degradation threshold H, the wind turbine blade system undergoes degradation failure.

[0051] Sixth assumption: The impact damage Y and W are independent of each other, that is, P{Y ≤ y, W ≤ w} = P{Y ≤ y}P{W ≤ w}; and Y is proportional to the impact damage function g(A) (A ≤ 0), where A is a random variable that is independently and identically distributed with W, and it is stipulated that g(0) = 0 and g(A) is monotonically increasing.

[0052] Seventh assumption: The total degradation amount of the wind turbine blade system increases with the increase of impact damage. As the performance degradation of the wind turbine blade system intensifies, the wind turbine blade system becomes more sensitive to impacts, that is, Y = g(A)ψ(S), and ψ(S) is called the amplification function. It is stipulated that ψ(0) = 1 and ψ(S) is monotonically increasing.

[0053] Eighth assumption: Non-fatal impacts will cause a stepwise increase in the total degradation amount. As the overall degradation of the wind turbine blade system intensifies, the ability of the wind turbine blade system to resist sudden failure weakens, that is, D = η(S), and η(S) is called the threshold function. It is stipulated that η(0) = D0, and η(S) is monotonically decreasing; where D0 is the initial impact threshold, which represents the strongest impact that a new wind turbine blade system without degradation can resist, and h SD represent the mean and standard deviation of the degradation threshold H respectively.

[0054] The first assumption and the second assumption define the scope of application of the model and are necessary prerequisites for correctly analyzing the reliability of wind turbine blades.

[0055] The seventh assumption and the eighth assumption respectively reflect two pairs of interdependent relationships: ① There is an interdependent relationship between impact damage and total degradation amount; ② There is an interdependent relationship between the degradation process and the impact process; these two assumptions provide a guarantee for comprehensively considering the mutual relationships among various factors.

[0056] S2: Select the impact damage function, amplification function, and threshold function based on the assumptions of the wind turbine blade system.

[0057] The impact damage function is k1 > 0 and k2 > 0. Wherein, k1 and k2 are adjustable parameters. g(A) is defined on [0, +∞), with an initial value of 0 and monotonically increasing, that is, g(0) = 0 and g′(A) > 0; thus, the inverse function g -1 (A) has the same domain and properties as it. As Figure 4 shown, when k2 = 1, both g(A) and g -1 (A) are linear functions; when 0 < k2 < 1, g(A) is a convex function and g -1 (A) is a concave function; when k2 > 1, g(A) is a concave function and g -1 (A) is a convex function.

[0058] The amplification function is p1 > 0 and p2 > 0. Wherein, is the mean value of the degradation threshold H, and p1 and p2 are adjustable parameters. ψ(S) is defined on [0, +∞), with an initial value of 1 and monotonically increasing, that is, ψ(0) = 1 and ψ′(S) > 0. As Figure 5 shown, when p2 = 1, ψ(S) is a linear function; when 0 < p2 < 1, ψ(S) is a convex function; when p2 > 1, ψ(S) is a concave function.

[0059] The threshold function is 0 < q1 ≤ 1 and q2 > 0. Wherein, h SD is the standard deviation of the degradation threshold H, and q1 and q2 are adjustable parameters. η(S) is defined on [0, h R )), with an initial value of D0 and monotonically decreasing, satisfying η(0) = D0, η′(S) < 0, and where D0 is the initial impact threshold and h R is the upper limit of the value range of the degradation threshold H. As Figure 6 shown, when q2 = 1, η(S) is a linear function; when 0 < q2 < 1, η(S) is a concave function; when q2 > 1, η(S) is a convex function.

[0060] S3: Construct a degradation failure model for wind turbine blades. Specifically, determine the probability density function of the degradation threshold, the probability density function of the continuous degradation increment, and the continuous degradation increment distribution function, and then construct a degradation failure model for wind turbine blades.

[0061] According to experience or experiments, obtain the probability density function f H (h) of the degradation threshold H, the distribution function F X (Δx, t, t0) of the continuous degradation increment ΔX (ΔX = X(t) - X(t0) > 0, t > t0), and the probability density function f X(Δx, t, t0), thus determining the degradation failure model of the wind turbine blade. If the continuous degradation amount X(t) follows a Gamma process or an inverse Gaussian process, then ΔX follows a Gamma distribution or an inverse Gaussian distribution.

[0062] Taking the stiffness accelerated degradation test of a certain type of wind turbine blade as an example, the degradation threshold H follows a lognormal distribution, and its probability density function is as follows:

[0063]

[0064] Among them, the parameter μ H = 3.1155, σ H = 0.0163, the lower limit h of the interval L is 0, and the upper limit h R is +∞.

[0065] The continuous degradation increment ΔX follows a Gamma distribution, and its probability density function and distribution function are respectively as follows:

[0066]

[0067] Among them, Γ(·) represents the Gamma function, exp(·) represents the exponential function, t0 and t respectively represent the initial and current times, and the parameter α = 4.8 years -1 、β = 4.62 mm / N.

[0068] S4: Construct the sudden failure model of the wind turbine blade. Specifically, determine the shock arrival rate, the initial shock threshold, the distribution function and probability density function of the shock intensity, and construct the sudden failure model of the wind turbine blade.

[0069] According to experience or historical detection data, accurately find out the shock arrival rate λ, the initial shock threshold D0, the distribution function F W (w) and the probability density function f W (w) of the shock intensity W, thus determining the sudden failure model of the wind turbine blade. W follows a uniform distribution U(a, b) (0 ≤ a < b), a truncated normal distribution N(μ, σ, 0, ∞), or a Weibull distribution Wbl(ω, υ), etc.

[0070] Based on the data provided by a certain wind farm, the statistical average shock arrival rate of each wind turbine with birds is λ = 0.21 times / year; by consulting the references and summarizing the experience of predecessors, the initial shock threshold D0 = 2.6 kJ can be obtained, and the shock intensity W follows a truncated normal distribution, and its probability density function and distribution function are respectively as follows:

[0071]

[0072] Among them, the parameters are μ = 1.3 kJ, σ = 0.4 kJ.

[0073] S5: Based on the impact damage function, the amplification function, the threshold function, the wind turbine blade degradation failure model, and the wind turbine blade sudden failure model, construct a dual-interdependent competing failure model.

[0074] The expression of the dual-interdependent competing failure model is:

[0075]

[0076] where \(R(t)\) is the reliability at time \(t\), \(\lambda\) is the impact arrival rate, \(h\) L is the lower limit of the degradation threshold distribution range, \(h\) R is the upper limit of the degradation threshold distribution range, \(f\) H is the probability density function of the degradation threshold, \(f\) X and \(F\) X are respectively the probability density function and the cumulative distribution function of the continuous degradation increment, \(f\) W and \(F\) W are respectively the probability density function and the cumulative distribution function of the impact intensity, \(h\) is the value of the degradation threshold \(H\), \(t_1,t_2,\cdots,t\) n are the values of the \(n\) impact arrival times \(T_1,T_2,\cdots,T\) n of, \(a_1,a_2,\cdots,a\) n-1 are the values of the random variables \(A_1,A_2,\cdots,A\) n-1 that are independent and identically distributed with the intensities \(W_1,W_2,\cdots,W\) n-1 of the previous \(n - 1\) impacts, \(\Delta x_1,\Delta x_2,\cdots,\Delta x\) n , are the values of the continuous degradation increments \(\Delta X_1,\Delta X_2,\cdots,\Delta X\) n-1 in the time intervals \((0,t_1),(t_1,t_2),\cdots,(t\) n ),\((t\) n ,t)\), \(\Delta x_1,\Delta x_2,\cdots,\Delta x\) n , are the values of \(s_1,s_2,\cdots,s\) n which are the total degradation amounts \(S_1,S_2,\cdots,S\) n from the initial time to \(t_1,t_2,\cdots,t\) n .

[0077] The specific expressions of \(s_1,s_2,\cdots,s\) n are as follows:

[0078]

[0079] S6: Determine the reliability of the wind turbine blade based on the dual-interdependent competing failure model.

[0080] The general solution of the time-varying reliability curve of the wind turbine blade to be studied can be obtained through the above process; the specific shape and change trend of this curve are determined by specific impact damage functions, amplification functions, threshold functions and their adjustable parameters.

[0081] The following embodiments will detail the influence of different models and some key parameters on the curve characteristics.

[0082] Example 1:

[0083] Taking the impact damage function g(A), amplification function ψ(S) and threshold function η(S) recommended in this application as examples. Among these functions, the adjustable parameters k2, p2 and q2 have a significant impact on shaping the function form, and they directly determine the concavity and convexity of the function curve. In contrast, although k1, p1 and q1 are also involved in shaping the function, they only affect the slope change of the function, and their role is relatively minor. Therefore, in order to highlight the role of the main influencing factors and effectively reduce the complexity and number of tests, k1 is fixed at 1.9, p1 is fixed at 2.3, and q1 is fixed at 0.85.

[0084] When k2, p2 and q2 are all 1, g(A), ψ(S) and η(S) are all linear functions. Because linear functions have good mathematical properties such as simple stability and intuitive and controllable change trends, these parameter values are used as the benchmark group for subsequent comparison with the model effects under other parameter configurations.

[0085] The influence of the impact damage function g(A) on the reliability curve characteristics is studied by the method of controlling variables. First, k2 is set as the independent variable, while p2 and q2 are kept unchanged as control variables; then, two control groups are set: in control group 1, k2 = 0.15, and at this time g(A) shows a convex function; in control group 2, k2 = 1.7, and at this time g(A) shows a concave function. The reliability curves based on three different impact damage functions are as Figure 7 shown.

[0086] Through comparison, it can be found that there are significant differences among the three reliability curves within the time range from the 2nd to the 20th year; specifically, the reliability of control group 1 is greater than that of the benchmark group, while the reliability of control group 2 is less than that of the benchmark group. In addition, it can be seen from Figure 7 that the median lifetimes of the studied wind turbine blades in the three cases of the benchmark group, control group 1 and control group 2 are 10.41 years, 11.50 years and 9.27 years respectively. The above conclusions show that on the premise of the same total degradation amount and impact intensity, the convex impact damage function causes less impact damage, so it improves the lifetime and reliability of the wind turbine blade; while the concave impact damage function causes more impact damage, so it reduces the lifetime and reliability of the wind turbine blade.

[0087] Example 2:

[0088] The influence of the amplification function ψ(S) on the characteristics of the reliability curve was studied by the method of controlling variables. First, p2 was set as the independent variable, while k2 and q2 were kept unchanged as control variables. Then, two control groups were set up: in control group 3, p2 = 0.25, and at this time ψ(S) showed a convex function; in control group 4, p2 = 4, and at this time ψ(S) showed a concave function. The reliability curves based on three different amplification functions are as Figure 8 shown.

[0089] It can be found by comparison that within the time range from the 2nd to the 20th year, the differences among the three reliability curves are relatively large. Among them, the reliability of control group 3 is less than that of the reference group, while the reliability of control group 4 is greater than that of the reference group. From Figure 8 it can also be found that the median lifetimes of the wind turbine blades under the two parameter configurations of control group 3 and control group 4 are 9.18 years and 11.53 years respectively. The above conclusions show that the convex amplification function enhances the impact sensitivity of the double mutual dependence competition failure model, thus accelerating the failure process, and therefore reducing the lifetime and reliability of the wind turbine blades; while the concave amplification function weakens the impact sensitivity of the double mutual dependence competition failure model, thus slowing down the failure process, and therefore increasing the lifetime and reliability of the wind turbine blades.

[0090] Example 3:

[0091] The influence of the threshold function η(S) on the characteristics of the reliability curve was studied by the method of controlling variables. First, q2 was set as the independent variable, while k2 and p2 were kept unchanged as control variables. Then, two control groups were set up: in control group 5, q2 = 0.33, and at this time η(S) showed a concave function; in control group 6, q2 = 8, and at this time η(S) showed a convex function. The reliability curves based on three different threshold functions are as Figure 9 shown.

[0092] It can be found by comparison that the reliability of control group 5 is less than that of the reference group, the reliability of control group 6 is greater than that of the reference group, and the difference between control group 5 and the reference group is more significant. In addition, from Figure 9 it can be known that the median lifetimes of the wind turbine blades in the two cases of control group 5 and control group 6 are 6.81 years and 11.29 years respectively. The above conclusions show that the concave threshold function greatly weakens the impact resistance of the double mutual dependence competition failure model, and therefore reduces the lifetime and reliability of the wind turbine blades; the convex threshold function enhances the impact resistance of the double mutual dependence competition failure model, and therefore increases the lifetime and reliability of the wind turbine blades.
