TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ocean renewable energy power generation, and utilizes a model predictive control strategy to realize optimization of a combined power generation system, in particular to a model predictive control method for a floating wind-wave combined power generation system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The floating wind-wave combined power generation system in the deep sea complex marine environment faces structural load and dynamic response fluctuations brought by turbulent wind, sea waves and ocean currents, which brings great challenges to the control system. Although the concept of floating wind-wave combined power generation system has been proposed for many years, the current research on its control technology still mainly focuses on the individual control of each part, such as floating wind turbine variable pitch control and PTO (Power Take-Off) control of wave energy generation device.

[0003] The common floating wind turbine control method mainly includes blade variable pitch control, variable speed control, yaw control and structural control. Among them, the blade variable pitch control includes two categories of unified variable pitch control and independent variable pitch control, of which the unified variable pitch control is often divided into PI controller and optimal controller, the PI controller includes feedback control and tuning gain, and the optimal controller mainly has LQR, H2 and H∞ and MPC (Model Predictive Control). The wind turbine structural control is mainly divided into three categories: passive control device, semi-active control device and active control device. The PTO control strategy mainly has passive control and reactive control, of which the passive control realizes the power control of the wave energy generation device by changing the force related to the PTO system, and usually includes linear damping control, lock control and clutch control. And the reactive control often sacrifices part of the power output to realize the stability of the wave energy generation device power output.

[0004] At present, the joint control technology research of the floating wind-wave combined power generation system is relatively less.

[0005] 1) The Chinese patent application with the application number 202410080364.9 discloses a full-direction excitation pendulum wind-wave combined power generation platform energy acquisition and roll reduction method, which absorbs the kinetic energy of the platform pitch and roll motion through the energy acquisition pendulum and damping mechanism, plays a dual role of energy acquisition and roll reduction, and can improve the overall power generation capacity and power generation stability.

[0006] 2) The Chinese patent application with the application number 202410615877.5 discloses a wind-wave combined power generation platform device and control method based on TMD vibration reduction, which takes the wave energy generation device as the mass component of the whole platform TMD vibration reduction, can realize the vibration control of the platform under normal power generation conditions without introducing external mass, so as to realize the vibration control of the overall structure.

[0007] However, the above-mentioned technology is mainly based on passive control technology, and it is difficult to respond to changes in the wind and wave environment in a timely manner; the output power stability of the wave power generation device is not considered; the influence of the turbulent wind frequency band on the structural response of the combined power generation system is not considered. SUMMARY

[0008] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, and to provide a floating wind-wave combined power generation system model predictive control method. Under the rated wind speed working condition, this method can simultaneously reduce the structural response of the wind-wave combined power generation system in the turbulent wind frequency band and the wave frequency band, thereby effectively reducing the fluctuation of the tower foundation load and suppressing the fluctuation of the platform pitch motion, while improving the power output stability of the combined power generation system.

[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

Repeat the above steps at the next time to realize the dynamic adjustment of the system.

[0043] 8) Dynamic feedback correction mechanism

[0044] The system state is collected in real time by the state monitoring system of the floating wind-wave combined power generation system composed of multiple sensors, and compared with the output value of the prediction model. The parameters of the prediction model or the target function weight coefficient are dynamically corrected to compensate for the errors caused by sudden changes in wind speed or surge and other environmental disturbances and model mismatch, thereby improving the robustness and adaptability of the control system.

[0064] (1),

[0065] Wherein, x is a state variable, u c is a control input variable, u d is an environmental disturbance, and y is an output variable;

[0066] 2) Determining the steady state working point of the system;

[0067] A high-fidelity physical model of the floating wind-wave combined power generation system is established by a numerical simulation method, different environmental conditions are selected within the operating condition range thereof, numerical simulation is carried out based on the established high-fidelity physical model, and the steady state working point of the floating wind-wave combined power generation system is determined based on statistical values;

For example, 11.4 m / s to 25 m / s and 1 m to 6 m.

[0069] The method for determining the steady state working point is, for example, taking the wind speed as 15 m / s and the wave height as 3 m, carrying out numerical simulation under the steady state wind and regular wave condition based on the established high-fidelity physical model, the simulation time being 2000 s, selecting the simulation results of 1500-2000 s to statistically determine the mean values of the state variables, the control input variables and the output variables, so as to obtain the steady state working point.

[0080] 4) Build a discrete-time prediction model

[0081] Based on the linear time-varying state space model, formula (3) is discretized to construct a prediction model in the discrete time domain to predict the dynamic response of the system's state variables and control inputs in the future time window;

[0082] The prediction model in the discrete time domain is:

[0083] (5),

[0084] Among them, x(k) and x(k+1) represent the state variables of the system at discrete time steps k and k+1 respectively, u(k) represents the input variable of the system at discrete time step k, y(k) represents the observed output variable of the system at discrete time step k, G is the state transition matrix, which describes the natural evolution law of the system state in the absence of external input; H is the input matrix, which quantifies the direct impact of control input and environmental disturbance on state change; C is the output matrix, whose function is to map the system state x to the system output y.

[0085] 5) Design objective function

[0086] When the floating wind-wave combined power generation system operates above the rated wind speed, the wind turbine side needs to adjust the generator speed to keep the wind turbine side output power stable near the rated power. At the same time, in order to reduce the fatigue load of the wind turbine pitch actuator, the pitch angle and generator torque should not move too frequently. The wave energy generator side needs to adjust the angular velocity at the hinge point to keep the PTO system output power stable. At the same time, the PTO system damping force of the wave energy generator device should not move too frequently. Taking all the above factors into consideration, the optimization objective function of the floating wind-wave combined power generation system is designed as follows:

[0087] (6);

[0088] in, δy(k+i) Indicates the future k+i The output deviation vector at time , δu(k+i-1) Indicates the k+i-1 The control input change vector at time , N Represents the prediction time domain; weight matrix Q Used to quantify the impact of the output deviation vector on system performance, the weight matrix R Used to limit sharp fluctuations in control input.

[0089] 6) Define state and input constraints

[0090] To ensure that the control algorithm meets the system performance requirements during the optimization solving process, the control input is necessary to be constrained, such as the following:

[0091] (7),

[0092] wherein, u(k) represents the control input variable of the system at the discrete time step k, δu(k) represents the control input change of the system at the discrete time step k, u max is the control input amplitude constraint, δu max is the control input change rate constraint.

[0093] 7) Real-time rolling optimization solving

[0094] In each control period, the CasADi solver is used to quickly solve the constrained optimization problem, obtain the optimal control sequence at a certain time, and extract the first step control output to the fan variable pitch actuator and the wave energy generation device PTO system, and repeat the above steps at the next time to realize the dynamic adjustment of the system.

[0095] 8) Dynamic feedback correction mechanism

[0096] The system state is collected in real time by the state monitoring system of the floating wind-wave combined power generation system composed of multiple sensors, and compared with the output value of the prediction model. The parameters of the prediction model or the target function weight coefficient are dynamically corrected to compensate for the errors caused by sudden changes in wind speed or environmental disturbances such as swells and model mismatch, and to improve the robustness and adaptability of the control system.

[0097] As shown in Figure 4 , under the working conditions of turbulent wind (average wind speed 15 m / s) and irregular wave (significant wave height 3 m, spectral peak period 6 s), the fan side power, cabin horizontal acceleration and tower base front and rear pitch moment fluctuation of the floating wind-wave combined power generation system using the control method of the application are smaller than those using the baseline controller.

[0098] As shown in Figure 5 , under the same working conditions, compared with the baseline controller, the platform surge motion, heave motion of the floating wind-wave combined power generation system using the control method of the application has slightly increased fluctuation, while the platform roll motion has significantly reduced fluctuation, and the platform sway motion, platform roll motion and platform yaw motion have not changed significantly. The platform roll motion is the most important parameter affecting the fan side power generation performance and platform stability of the floating wind-wave combined power generation system, therefore, the control method of the application can effectively improve the platform stability.

[0099] As shown in Figure 6 , the power spectral densities of the environmental wind speed and wave height present different distribution rules, in which the energy of the turbulent wind is mainly concentrated in the high frequency band between 0 and 0.10 Hz, and the energy of the wave is mainly concentrated in the high frequency band between 0.10 and 0.60 Hz. This indicates that the environmental excitation of the floating wind-wave combined power generation system has obvious wideband characteristics.

[0100] As shown in Figure 7 , compared with using the baseline controller, using the control method of the present application can effectively reduce the responses of the tower base fore and aft pitch bending moments of the floating wind-wave combined power generation system in the turbulent wind frequency band (0-0.10 Hz), and can also greatly reduce the responses of the tower base pitch bending moments in the wave frequency band (0.10-0.60 Hz). This indicates that the method of the present application has great potential in reducing the structural fatigue load of the floating wind-wave combined power generation system.

[0101] As shown in Figure 8 , compared with using the baseline controller, using the control method of the present application can greatly reduce the responses of the platform pitch motion of the floating wind-wave combined power generation system in the turbulent wind frequency band (0-0.10 Hz), and can also weakly reduce the responses of the platform pitch motion in the wave frequency band (0.10-0.60 Hz). This indicates that the method of the present application has certain potential in improving the platform stability of the floating wind-wave combined power generation system.

[0102] As shown in Figure 9 , compared with using the baseline controller, using the control method of the present application can effectively reduce the fluctuations of the power generation of the wind turbine side of the floating wind-wave combined power generation system, and will not affect the average power generation of the wind turbine side. In addition, the wave energy power generation device side of the floating wind-wave combined power generation system can also output about 300 kW of power generation, about 6% of the power generation of the wind turbine side. This indicates that the method of the present application is conducive to improving the power generation output stability of the floating wind-wave combined power generation system.

[0103] Although the specific embodiments of the present application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is not a limitation on the protection scope of the present application, and those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or changes made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the technical solutions of the present application without creative labor are still within the protection scope of the present application.
