Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind power generation, and in particular to a device and method for monitoring blade deformation of wind power generation equipment. Background Art

[0002] Wind power generation is the process of converting wind kinetic energy into electrical energy. Wind power drives blade rotation, which in turn generates electricity through electromagnetic induction. In the field of wind power generation, blades are core components for capturing wind energy, and their health directly impacts the unit's operational safety and power generation efficiency. Publication No. CN105822508B discloses a system for monitoring blade deformation in wind turbines. A cable is laid axially along the inner surface of the blade, and the cable drives elastic elements to stretch as the blade deforms, obtaining blade deformation. This system can quickly and effectively monitor damage to various blade components in real time. This solution requires installing a cable inside the blade, which involves contact monitoring and can potentially damage the blade's structural integrity. Furthermore, the cable is susceptible to vibration and wear during long-term operation. Publication No. CN114412724B discloses a laser radar ranging system for monitoring the operating status of wind turbine blades. By rotating the laser radar ranging probe at a certain angle, the system measures the swing amplitude of various blade components and determines whether the amplitude is within the normal range for the current wind speed. Although deformation can be monitored in real time, it is not linked to the pitch control system, resulting in measurement deviations. It is also impossible to dynamically adjust the blade stress state according to the deformation, making preventive maintenance difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0050] See also Figure 1-7 The present invention provides a technical solution: a device for monitoring blade deformation of a wind power generation device, comprising:

[0051] The annular drive track 1 is provided with two annular drive tracks 1 and is fixed to the outer surface of the tower, wherein the annular drive track 1 includes a fixed ring 101, the fixed ring 101 is fixed to the outer surface of the tower by bolts, the top of the fixed ring 101 is fixedly connected with a gear ring 102, the top of the gear ring 102 is slidably connected with an annular slide 103, the cross section of the annular slide 103 is an inverted T-shaped structure, the top of the gear ring 102 is provided with a slide groove adapted to the annular slide 103, the top of the annular slide 103 is fixedly connected with a protective frame 104, the protective frame A servo motor 105 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the frame 104, and a working end of the servo motor 105 is fixedly connected to a gear 106 meshing with the gear ring 102. The fixed ring 101, the gear ring 102, the annular slide 103 and the protective frame 104 are divided into three or four equal parts, which is convenient for installation on the surface of the tower. The servo motor 105 is started to drive the rotation of the protective frame 104 through the gear meshing transmission. A sealing ring can also be set between one side of the protective frame 104 and the tower surface to reduce rainwater and wind and sand from entering the protective frame 104.

[0052] The fixing frame 2 is connected to the two annular drive rails 1 and fixed to one side of the annular drive rail 1, and one side of the fixing frame 2 is a vertical plane; the fixing frame 2 is fixed to one side of the protective frame 104 and is fixed by bolts.

[0053] Three laser sensor groups 3, at least three groups of three laser sensor groups 3 are provided and distributed along the length direction of the fixed frame 2, and the three groups of three laser sensor groups 3 are respectively arranged at 10-30%, 35-65% and 75-90% of the distance from the blade root in the blade length direction, such as 25%, 50% and 85%, which can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0054] The three-laser sensor group 3 includes a left laser rangefinder 301, a middle laser rangefinder 302, a right laser rangefinder 303 and a protective frame 304. The left laser rangefinder 301, the middle laser rangefinder 302 and the right laser rangefinder 303 are located at the same height and within the protective frame 304. The protective frame 304 provides a certain degree of protection for the laser rangefinders.

[0055] The distance between the left laser rangefinder 301 and the right laser rangefinder 303 is 50%-80% of the blade width at the corresponding height, and the distance between the left laser rangefinder 301 and the right laser rangefinder 303 and the blade edge is greater than 5%-10% of the blade width. The middle laser rangefinder 302 is aligned with the middle of the blade when it is in a vertical state.

[0056] The main shaft angle sensor 4 is fixed on one side of the wind turbine box. The main shaft angle sensor 4 monitors the main shaft rotation angle of the wind turbine hub to ensure that the three laser sensor groups 3 work and measure when the blades are located on one side of the tower.

[0057] A data acquisition device is electrically connected to the yaw system, pitch system, anemometer and wind vane of the wind turbine to obtain blade azimuth, pitch angle, wind speed and wind direction data, and is in communication with the main shaft angle sensor 4;

[0058] Database, the database stores the standard deformation of the blade under different wind speeds and pitch angles, and the blade design arc height H corresponding to each set of sensor positions;

[0059] The controller is connected to the data acquisition instrument and the database. The controller is used to:

[0060] Control the annular driving track 1 according to the azimuth angle to make the fixed frame 2 rotate synchronously;

[0061] According to the data from the spindle angle sensor 4, the three laser sensor group 3 is triggered to measure the distance between each sensor and the blade, and the validity of the data is judged. When the data is valid, the real-time deformation amount is calculated;

[0062] Judging the validity of the measurement data of the three laser sensor group 3 includes: calculating the theoretical distance difference: D1 = W × tanθ, comparing the measured distance difference: D2 = |D L -D R |, if Determine that the data is valid;

[0063] Retrieve the standard deformation corresponding to the current wind speed and pitch angle, and calculate the real-time deformation:

[0064]

[0065] Where W is the distance between the left laser rangefinder 301 and the right laser rangefinder 303, D L is the distance measured by the left laser rangefinder 301, D M is the distance measured by the laser rangefinder 302, D R is the distance measured by the right laser rangefinder 301, θ is the pitch angle, H is the design arc height of the blade, and the design arc height is measured when there is no wind and the blade is stationary.

[0066] The wind farm monitoring center receives controller data through data transmission equipment. When the real-time deformation is greater than the preset threshold, the wind power controller sends a pitch angle adjustment instruction to the pitch system.

[0067] The threshold

[0068] Where δ r is the standard deformation variable stored in the database under the current wind speed V and pitch angle θ, V is the real-time wind speed, V r is the rated wind speed of the wind turbine, k is the coefficient, onshore wind turbine: k = 0.025-0.035, offshore wind turbine: k = 0.030-0.045.

[0069] The data transmission equipment, controller, wind turbine controller, database and data acquisition instrument are all installed in the wind turbine chassis.

[0070] It also includes a support ring 5, which is arranged between the two annular drive rails 1. The support ring 5 includes a ring body 51. The surface of the ring body 51 is slidably connected to a rotating ring 52. One side of the rotating ring 52 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 2. The support ring 5 provides lateral support to the fixed frame 2 to improve the stability of the fixed frame 2.

[0071] A blade deformation monitoring method, using the above-mentioned device, comprises the following steps:

[0072] Step 1: Obtain the azimuth angle β and drive the annular drive track 1 to rotate, so that the fixing frame 2 rotates synchronously with the azimuth of the blade;

[0073] Step 2: According to the measurement information of the main shaft angle sensor 4, when one of the blades is vertical, each group of three laser sensors 3 collects data D L 、D M and D R ;

[0074] Step 3: Data validity verification: retrieve the pitch angle θ and the H value corresponding to each layer of three laser sensor group 3 in the database;

[0075] Calculation: D1 = W × tanθ, D2 = |D L -D R |, if Determine that the data is valid;

[0076] Step 4: Calculate the true shape:

[0077] Step 5: In response to the trigger, when δ is greater than the threshold, perform at least one of the following: send a pitch change instruction; generate a deformation alarm.

[0078] If in step 3, the data is determined to be invalid, the set of data is discarded.

[0079] The threshold in step 5

[0080] where δ r is the standard deformation variable stored in the database under the current wind speed V and pitch angle θ, V is the real-time wind speed, V r is the rated wind speed of the wind turbine, k is the coefficient, onshore wind turbine: k = 0.025-0.035, offshore wind turbine: k = 0.030-0.045.

[0081] When the wind speed V is 0.5 times the rated wind speed, δ1=δ r *[1+k*(0.5-0.5)]=δ r ,

[0082] That is, the threshold is equal to the standard deformation. When the wind speed is higher than 0.5 times the rated wind speed, When the value is positive, the threshold value increases. When the wind speed is lower than 0.5 times the rated wind speed, When it is negative, the threshold value decreases. This is because when the wind speed increases, the normal deformation of the blade will increase, so the threshold value needs to be relaxed to avoid false alarms. When the wind speed is low, the normal deformation of the blade should be small, so the threshold value needs to be tightened to improve the detection sensitivity.

[0083] The coefficient k is set based on the aerodynamic characteristics of the wind turbine blades. The relationship between the deformation and wind speed is approximately linear. Usually for onshore wind turbines: k = 0.025-0.035, offshore wind turbines: k = 0.030-0.045. Here, k = 0.03 can be taken.

[0084] During installation, two height positions are selected on the tower's outer surface. A retaining ring 101 is bolted in place, ensuring its plane is parallel to the chassis' rotational plane. A gear ring 102 is installed atop the retaining ring. An annular slide 103 slots into the ring's top slot, forming an inverted T-shaped cross-section to prevent it from falling off. A protective frame 104 is secured to the top of the slide, housing a servo motor 105, whose output gear 106 meshes with the gear ring. A retaining bracket 2 is fixed perpendicularly to the side of the retaining bracket, forming a vertical measurement plane. Three laser sensor groups 3 are mounted on the bracket at 25%, 50%, and 85% of the blade root's length, respectively. The spacing between the left and right laser rangefinders 301 and 303 in each group is set to 70% of the blade width at the corresponding height, and 8% of the blade width from the edge, ensuring coverage of the effective blade measurement area.

[0085] In the absence of wind and with the pitch angle at 0, place the blades in a vertical position, measure the initial distance of each group of three laser sensors, and calculate the design arc height. Store in database.

[0086] During monitoring, when the wind speed sensor detects a wind speed of V = 12 m / s, the data acquisition instrument obtains the current pitch angle θ = 20°, the main shaft angle sensor feedback shows that the hub rotates to the vertical position of the blade, and the three laser sensor groups collect data: DL = 5.23 m, DM = 5.01 m, DR = 5.25 m.

[0087] Given that the blade width W of this set of sensors is 4 m, the theoretical distance difference D1 is calculated as 4 × tan20° ≈ 1.46 m, D2 = |5.23-5.25| = 0.02 m, and |D2-D1| / D1 = (1.46-0.02) / 1.46 ≈ 0.986 ≤ 0.1. The data is valid.

[0088] Retrieve the standard deformation variable δ under this working condition r =0.08m, H=0.1m, rated wind speed V r =12m / s, onshore wind turbine k=0.03.

[0089] The calculated threshold value δ1=0.08×[1+0.03×(12 / 12-0.5)]=0.08×1.015=0.0812m.

[0090] The calculated true deformation δ = |(5.23+5.25) / 2-5.01-0.1×cos20°| = |5.24-5.01-0.094| = 0.136m>0.0812m.

[0091] The wind farm monitoring center sends instructions to the pitch control system to increase the pitch angle, reduce the windward area of the blades, and reduce deformation stress.
