Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind turbine blades, and in particular to a method for increasing power and deicing wind turbine blades. Background Art
[0002] Wind power is currently the most technologically mature and commercially viable renewable energy source. Compared to traditional energy sources, wind power boasts advantages such as cleanliness, safety, and sustainability. After more than a decade of rapid development, my country's wind power industry has become the third largest energy source in the country, following coal-fired power and hydropower.
[0003] As a crucial component of my country's energy mix, wind power's economic viability is attracting increasing attention. As wind power's share of energy supply continues to grow, major wind power operators are increasingly raising their cost awareness and working to reduce the cost gap between wind power and traditional electricity, thereby driving industry development. For operational wind power projects, improvements in operational efficiency, turbine quality, and maintenance are all contributing to lower wind power costs.
[0004] In the early stages of the domestic wind power industry's development, insufficient and conservative design experience, limited scope for turbine selection, and relatively rough feasibility studies, micro-site selection, and load assessments led to deviations in turbine selection and a significant waste of component safety margins. In recent years, global wind speeds have declined year by year, resulting in wind farms with overestimated wind speeds and underperforming actual power generation performance. Furthermore, with the scaled-up development of wind farms, large-scale installations near existing wind farms have caused wind speeds to drop, resulting in wind farm power generation performance failing to meet expectations. Southern my country suffers from low temperatures and high humidity, creating an extremely harsh environment. When wind turbines operate at temperatures of zero degrees Celsius or below, if they encounter humid air, rain, salt spray, ice, and snow, especially cooling water droplets, ice can form on the blades, significantly damaging the equipment. Therefore, a method for increasing the power and de-icing wind turbine blades is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems in the prior art, such as the inability to use a gas-thermal deicing system for some blade types due to blockage of the blade tip channel, the inability to fully utilize the unit performance for some blade types due to high design margin, the unsatisfactory power generation of the unit, and the inability of the existing gas-thermal deicing method to monitor the temperature of the blade tip airflow. A method for increasing the power and deicing the blades of a wind turbine is proposed.
[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] A method for increasing power and deicing blades of a wind turbine generator comprises the following steps:
[0008] S1: Analyze on-site wind resources and calculate parameters: Use meteorological data and wind field measurement equipment (such as anemometers, wind vanes, etc.) to collect long-term data and analyze wind resources, including wind speed distribution and wind direction changes. Based on the wind resource analysis, calculate key parameters such as wind pressure, torque, and power curves;
[0009] S2: Load comparison and strength assessment: Use professional software (such as ANSYS, Bladed, etc.) to simulate the stress conditions of the extended blades at different wind speeds, calculate the new load distribution, and compare the calculated results with the original design load of the unit to ensure that the extended blades and their supporting structures meet the strength and safety requirements;
[0010] S3: On-site blade extension technical modification implementation: cut the tip of the original blade, install temperature and flow monitoring equipment at the tip position, and firmly bond the tip extension section to the blade root and blade tip;
[0011] S4: Blade rotation positioning: Change the blade pitch until the blade is parallel to the ground and the SS faces downward (i.e. the web is perpendicular to the ground). After the pitch change is completed, the blade and impeller are locked;
[0012] S5: Polishing and installation position marking: mark the installation position of the air duct, and polish the installation position of the blower and heater;
[0013] S6: Air outlet sensor and wind shield installation: Install the sensor at the air outlet of the air duct and install the wind shield;

[0031] Power curve calculation: The power curve is a curve that describes the output power of a wind turbine at different wind speeds. It is obtained through experimental data or numerical simulation. Under a simplified model, it can be expressed as a piecewise function, with each segment representing a different wind speed range and corresponding power output.
[0032] Evaluate the impact of blade extension on unit performance:
[0033] Theoretical calculation: Based on the new blade length, recalculate the wind pressure, torque and power curves, considering the impact of the increased blade length on the starting wind speed, maximum power point and mechanical load;

[0075] S4: Blade rotation positioning: Change the blade pitch until the blade is parallel to the ground and the SS faces downward (i.e. the web is perpendicular to the ground). After the pitch change is completed, the blade and impeller are locked;

[0080] S9: Hot air blower installation and cable arrangement: Assemble blower 1 and heater 2 into a hot air blower and fix it on the bracket, and arrange the cables.
[0081] The working principle of the power increase and de-icing method of a wind turbine blade proposed in the present invention is to first extend the blade and then install the gas-heat de-icing system. After the installation is completed, the blower 1 is started, and the air flow is heated by the heater 2 and passes through the air duct 3. A sensor is installed at the air outlet of the air duct 3 to detect the air flow. The air flow is transferred to the leading edge channel 5 through the wind deflector 4, and enters the position of the blade tip extension section 12 and the blade tip 8 through the leading edge channel 5. The temperature and flow monitoring equipment 7 detects the passing air flow and monitors the temperature of the blade tip air flow. These data can be sent to the ground control room or the cloud server through wireless transmission for further analysis and processing. The air flow returns to the blower 1 through the trailing edge channel 10 to form a cycle. The hot air can be blown smoothly to the blade tip 8 to avoid accumulation or blockage in the trailing edge channel 10, the web middle channel 9 and the leading edge channel 5.
