Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind turbine wake calculation, and in particular to a calculation method for an analytical model of accelerated flow in the tip clearance of a wind turbine. Background Art

[0002] In the design of traditional large-scale offshore wind farms, in order to avoid complex aerodynamic interference between side-by-side wind turbines and the superposition of wake interference on the rear-row wind turbines, a relatively sparse array layout is often adopted. Although this layout helps to reduce aerodynamic interference, it occupies a large amount of space and site resources, thus limiting the power generation density and economy per unit area of the wind farm. In recent years, multi-rotor wind turbines have gradually become a technically promising path due to their structural advantages of integrating multiple standardized rotors. Such wind turbines not only show high economy in terms of structural complexity and material use, but also, due to their compact configuration, are expected to break the dependence on space of traditional layouts and improve the intensification level of wind energy development. Although the multi-rotor system has obvious advantages in space utilization efficiency, the complex aerodynamic interference mechanism brought about by its side-by-side layout, especially how to identify and understand the possible local acceleration phenomenon in the wake clearance area of the wind turbine, still needs to be studied in depth. Although the calculation method for the radial induction area of the wind turbine can calculate the side-by-side interaction between multi-rotor wind turbines, simply calculating the influence of the radial induction area will lead to deviations in the final power calculation result. The wake clearance acceleration area between the wind turbines dominates the power increase of the multi-rotor wind turbine. Modeling and calculating it can accurately describe the non-linear interaction effect between the wakes. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a calculation method for an analytical model of accelerated flow in the tip clearance of a wind turbine. By analyzing the aerodynamic characteristics of the wake clearance acceleration area of the wind turbine, the correlation between the power increase of side-by-side wind turbines and the wake clearance acceleration area of the wind turbine is revealed, and an analytical model is constructed based on the self-similarity and vorticity equation of the clearance acceleration area. This model considers the local accelerated flow caused by the rotation of the tips of adjacent rotors in the same plane, realizes a physical explanation for the power increase of adjacent wind turbines, and clarifies the mutual influence effect between adjacent rotors in a dual-rotor wind turbine. This model has high accuracy in predicting the flow field characteristics of the wake clearance acceleration area, and the prediction effect is close to that of high-fidelity numerical simulation methods, but the calculation cost is much lower than that of traditional CFD simulations. It shows good applicability in dealing with wind farm structures such as simulated twin floating wind turbines and wind turbine walls that are closely arranged in the y-z same plane, and shows good engineering application value.

[0023] Embodiment

[0024] As Figures 1-4 shown, the present invention provides a calculation method for an analytical model of accelerating the flow of the wind turbine tip clearance, including the following steps: Step 1: Calculate one or several wind turbines arranged side by side in a wind farm, and select one wind turbine as the target for calculation; Step 2: Assume that the radius of the target wind turbine in the wind farm is R, and the incoming flow velocity is , and a cylindrical coordinate system is established with the center of the hub of the target wind turbine as the origin, where the direction perpendicular to the wind turbine blade and downstream is set as the axial direction Positive direction, radial direction The direction is perpendicular to the direction. At this time, the coordinates of any point in the wind field are all represented by . In engineering calculations, because the component in the direction is relatively small, it is therefore neglected. The main calculation is the component in the direction. The wind turbine flow field area is divided into a wake region , a wake blockage region and a tip wake gap acceleration region . The criteria for dividing the wind turbine flow field area are as follows: . Based on the numerical simulation of the wind turbine flow field and the experimental wind field data, combined with the wind speed decay characteristics, turbulence intensity distribution and streamline morphology, the wind turbine flow field area is systematically divided as follows: . The region where the wind speed on the main axis downstream of the wind turbine drops significantly and the turbulence intensity increases significantly is used as the wake region . This region extends along the wind direction in a columnar shape; . The streamline deflection phenomenon observed upstream of the wind turbine's windward surface and the local wind speed increase characteristics are used to identify the fluid accumulation and lateral flow around region formed due to the windward resistance effect of the wind turbine, which is defined as the wake blockage region . It is manifested as a decrease in the wind speed in the central region in front of the wind turbine and a slight increase on both sides;

[0025] Step 3: Use the axial velocity induction factor and the shape function to establish the expression of the normalized velocity field in the tip wake gap acceleration region . The specific process is as follows: Use the axial velocity induction factor to establish the expression of the normalized velocity field in the region ; For the tip wake gap acceleration region , define its velocity field as , and perform gap standard normalization on it to obtain the normalized tip wake gap acceleration region velocity field The expression is as follows ; ;

[0026] In the above formula, represents the axial coordinate value after normalization, represents the radial coordinate value after normalization, represents the velocity field under the normalized axial and radial coordinate values, is the axial velocity induction factor, is the shape function that controls the velocity change trend in the gap acceleration region. In the present invention, the above formula is an analytical model.

[0027] Step 4: For the velocity field in the normalized wake gap acceleration region, although the distribution of the velocity curve in the r direction under different inflow wind speed conditions has certain differences, the overall shows a consistent acceleration trend. In order to more systematically describe the velocity distribution characteristics in the wake gap region, a composite Gaussian function is used to construct a mathematical expression for the local accelerated flow to achieve quantitative modeling of the gap acceleration region. For this, the axial velocity induction factor is established based on the similarity of the tip wake gap acceleration region, and the calculation formula is as follows

[0028] Using a composite Gaussian function to construct a mathematical expression for the local accelerated flow, the axial velocity induction factor is established based on the similarity of the wake gap acceleration region, and the calculation formula is as follows: ;

[0029] In the above formula, , and are calculation parameters, , , , the axial velocity induction factor reaches the maximum value at , and by controlling to achieve controlling the curve increase and decrease trends on both sides of where the equation reaches the maximum value; represents the axial maximum wind speed induction factor, which is calculated by a cubic polynomial in combination with the blade element momentum theory. The formula is as follows: ;

[0030] In the above formula, , , , are all calculation parameters, , , , , is the thrust coefficient, representing the ratio of the axial thrust exerted by the wind turbine to the dynamic pressure per unit area. The thrust coefficient significantly affects the acceleration intensity in the wake gap between side-by-side wind turbines, especially having the most direct control effect on the maximum speed value. Therefore, it can be considered that is the key aerodynamic parameter that controls the acceleration characteristics of the side-by-side wake, and has important guiding significance for subsequent speed distribution modeling and wind turbine layout optimization. It is calculated by the following formula: ; ;

[0031] In the above formula, is the total thrust received by the wind turbine disk, is the air density, is the free inflow wind speed, represents the swept area of the wind turbine.

[0032] Step 5: For the shape function in the standardized velocity field According to the velocity consistency law at different axial positions, segment the shape function , and represent the variation characteristics of the velocity field at different positions in the wake gap acceleration zone in segments to obtain the result of the shape function ; The specific process of calculating the three-dimensional shape function is as follows: Analyze the standardized velocity distribution curves at different inflow velocities through experiments. In the axial region, the velocity curves show high consistency, while in the region, they show a law of gradually increasing with the increase of the inflow velocity. Establish the shape function in the form of a piecewise function, and the calculation formula is as follows: ;

[0033] In the above formula, and represent the parameters used in the calculation, 、 , is the radial correction factor, used to correct the velocity change when , mainly correcting the deviation caused by the change of the radial position and the inflow wind speed. The formula is as follows: ;

[0034] In the above formula, and represent the parameters used in the calculation, , , is the thrust coefficient.

[0035] Step 6: Substitute the results of Step 4 and Step 5 into the standardized velocity field in Step 3 to obtain the standardized velocity field of the tip wake gap acceleration region ; Result; Step 7: Repeat Step 1 to Step 6 until all the wind turbines are calculated. Superimpose the results calculated for all the wind turbines to obtain the result of the tip wake gap acceleration region of the wind turbines. One specific implementation method is to use linear superposition, and linearly superimpose the calculation results of different wind turbines according to regions.

[0036] As Figures 5-10 , the specific experimental process is as follows: To verify the model, it is programmed and integrated into the open-source wind farm simulation tool PyWake to achieve the calculation and evaluation of the flow field and power of the wind turbines. PyWake is an open-source wind farm simulation platform developed based on Python, which is widely used to study the wake interaction between wind turbines in a wind farm and its impact on the overall performance of the wind farm. This tool can accurately model the aerodynamic characteristics in the wind farm and output the power generation of the wind turbines under different layouts and meteorological conditions. During the evaluation process of the model, in order to accurately evaluate the performance of the model and eliminate the interference caused by selecting different wake models and wake blockage models, the flow field and power output around the wind turbines are simulated and calculated under the premise of no wake model and blockage model. During the simulation experiment, the method of this application is compared with the large eddy simulation (LES) method.

[0037] As Figure 5 in (a) and (b), it shows the comparison of the flow field simulation diagrams of the xy section at the hub center position of a single DTU10MW wind turbine under the inflow wind speed condition of 11.4m / s calculated by different methods; Figure 5 (a) in is the flow field diagram calculated by the method of the present invention; Figure 5 (b) in is the flow field diagram obtained by LES simulation. It can be observed that for the acceleration regions on both sides of the wind turbine, the flow velocity shows an elliptical velocity structure that diffuses from the inside to the outside along the lower part of the wind turbine tip. Excluding the influence of the wake and blockage regions, the flow field morphology predicted by the model is highly consistent with the LES simulation result in terms of structure.

[0038] As Figures 6-7 , it shows that under the inflow wind speed condition of 11.4m / s, along The yz-plane flow field diagram taken at this location. Among them, the flow field velocity isolines of the calculation results of the present invention show an annular structure that diffuses uniformly around, which is basically consistent with the prediction results of LES. As the value of x increases, the diffusion degree of the flow field distributions of the model and LES both increases, and the increasing amplitude basically remains the same, further verifying the prediction performance of the model at different axial positions.

[0039] Figures 8-9 , which shows the xz-plane flow field diagram taken along... under the inflow wind speed condition of 11.4 m / s for different methods. It can be seen that the xz-plane flow field predicted by the method of the present invention has good consistency with the LES simulation results in the overall shape, and basically conforms to the velocity change trend in the wake gap acceleration region.

[0040] Under the inflow wind speed condition of 11.4 m / s, a simulation was carried out on a classic wind farm example with two wind turbines arranged side by side. By setting the hub center distances of the two wind turbines to be 2R, 4R, 6R, 8R, and 10R respectively, 5 groups of wind farm data were calculated. The data results are as Figure 10 shown, and these simulation results were compared and analyzed with the data obtained by LES simulation under the same configuration. The power of the side-by-side wind turbines in the model and LES simulations both increased due to the mutual influence of the wake acceleration regions of the wind turbine gaps. The increased values are as Figure 10 shown. In the case where the side-by-side wind turbine spacing is small (2R), the power increase of a single wind turbine can reach 6%. As the side-by-side wind turbine spacing increases, the wind turbine power increase effect gradually weakens, and this trend also conforms to the physical mechanism that the wake gap acceleration region of the wind turbine gradually decreases with the increase of the radial distance r. Figure 10 The error bars in... represent the ±5% error range of the LES simulation power increase results. It can be seen that the power increase prediction of the model constructed by the technical solution of the present invention is highly consistent with LES in trend, and the error of the power increase value predicted by the model relative to the LES results is basically controlled within 5% at all spacings. Considering that the prediction error of the engineering wake model is generally above 10%, it is thus judged that the wake gap acceleration region model proposed by the present invention shows good accuracy and practicability in the prediction of the power of side-by-side wind turbines.

[0041] The proposed analytical model also has significant advantages in terms of computational efficiency. On a workstation, under the condition of single-core operation, it only takes about 2 to 3 seconds to complete a single simulation of the side-by-side wind turbine example, which is significantly lower than the computational time required for traditional high-fidelity numerical simulations. It can be seen that this model not only has good performance in prediction accuracy, but also has great advantages in terms of computational cost, and has the application potential in the layout optimization and real-time evaluation of large-scale wind farms.

[0042] Therefore, the present invention adopts a calculation method of an analytical model for accelerating the flow of the tip clearance of a wind turbine. By analyzing the aerodynamic characteristics of the wake clearance acceleration region of the wind turbine, the correlation between the power increase of the side-by-side wind turbines and the wake clearance acceleration region of the wind turbine is revealed. An analytical model is constructed based on the self-similarity and vorticity equation of the clearance acceleration region. This model considers the local accelerated flow caused by the rotation of the tips of adjacent rotors in the same plane, realizes a physical explanation for the increase in the power of adjacent wind turbines, and clarifies the mutual influence effect between adjacent rotors in a dual-rotor wind turbine. This model has high accuracy in predicting the flow field characteristics of the wake clearance acceleration region, and the prediction effect is close to that of the high-fidelity numerical simulation method, but the calculation cost is much lower than that of the traditional CFD simulation. It shows good applicability in dealing with wind farm structures such as simulated dual-head floating wind turbines and wind turbine walls that are closely arranged in the y-z same plane, and shows good engineering application value.

[0043] 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.
