[0033] With the gradual development of wind turbines towards large-scale, the aspect ratio of the blade is increasing, which leads to a significant increase in structural flexibility, making the blade more prone to bending and torsional deformation when facing complex environmental conditions such as strong winds and turbulence. The dynamic response of the blade under wind load, including bending, torsion and vibration, not only leads to a decline in aerodynamic performance, but also may cause structural fatigue problems, and in severe cases, even cause failure, thereby bringing safety hazards and economic losses. Therefore, how to accurately evaluate the deformation characteristics of flexible blades under different operating conditions has become a key challenge. At present, there are many methods to try to solve this problem, but these methods generally have high computational complexity and long time-consuming problems, which are difficult to be widely applied in engineering practice.

[0035] Referring to the drawings Figure 1, Figure 1 is a main step flow diagram of a blade deformation rapid evaluation method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1 , the blade deformation rapid evaluation method in the embodiment is suitable for rapid evaluation of flexible blade deformation, and mainly includes the following steps S101 to S104.

[0036] Step S101: Obtain a pre-constructed aeroelastic model and a tip loss coefficient database;

[0037] In the embodiment, the aeroelastic model includes an aerodynamic model constructed based on blade element momentum theory and a structural model constructed based on geometrically exact beam theory, and the tip loss coefficient database includes multiple sets of deformation amplitudes and corresponding tip loss coefficients.

[0038] Step S102: Construct a first mapping relationship based on the aeroelastic model and the tip loss coefficient database, the first mapping relationship representing a linear response relationship between blade deformation and aerodynamic force.

[0041] In the embodiment, the second mapping relationship (aerodynamic force→tip deformation amplitude) is used to describe the influence of aerodynamic force on tip deformation amplitude.

[0042] Step S104: Determine a blade deformation evaluation result based on the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship.

[0043] Based on the method described in steps S101 to S104 above, the present application establishes a first mapping relationship (blade deformation amplitude→aerodynamic force) and a second mapping relationship (aerodynamic force→blade deformation amplitude) through a pre-constructed aeroelastic model and a tip loss coefficient database, realizes rapid closed-loop feedback of the deformation evaluation process, can rapidly evaluate blade deformation under different wind speed conditions, effectively reduces the amount of calculation, and provides data support for the development of wind power technology to larger scale and more complex working conditions.

[0044] The above steps S101 to S104 will be further described below.

[0045] For step S101, a pre-constructed aeroelastic model and a tip loss coefficient database are obtained.

[0046] Specifically, before implementing the blade deformation rapid evaluation method of the application, the aeroelastic model of the wind turbine blade is constructed in combination with the blade element momentum theory (BEM), the geometric exact beam theory (GEBT) and the tip loss factor, and the tip loss coefficient database is constructed by using the CFD numerical simulation method.

[0047] Specifically, the aerodynamic model is constructed based on the blade element momentum theory (BEM) and the tip loss factor is introduced, and the following assumptions are made:

[0048] The wind wheel is simplified as a plane disc composed of infinite blades;

[0049] The incoming flow is uniform and constant, i.e. the air compressibility is not considered;

[0050] The radial blade elements are independent of each other, there is no force between them and the radial flow of the flow field particles is ignored;

[0051] The influence of the wake induced velocity is ignored.

[0052] The axial velocity and the tangential velocity of the airflow will change after the airflow passes through the blade and the rotation plane of the wind wheel, and the axial induction factor a and the tangential induction factor b are introduced to reflect the reduction of the velocity of the airflow passing through the wind wheel.

[0053] Based on the axial induction factor a and the tangential induction factor b, the velocity synthesis relationship is established:

[0054]

[0055] Wherein, V is the free incoming flow velocity; φ is the incoming flow angle; Ω is the wind wheel speed; a is the axial induction factor; b is the tangential induction factor; r is the radius of the blade position where the blade element is located.

[0056] The velocity synthesis relationship and the aerodynamic force under the condition of blade element rotation are as shown in Figure 2 .

[0057] The relationship between the incoming flow angle φ and the attack angle α and the pitch angle β is defined as

[0058] α = φ - β

[0059] Wherein, α is the attack angle; φ is the incoming flow angle; β is the pitch angle.

[0060] The expression of the blade element micro-element lift dF l and the blade element micro-element resistance dF d is:

[0061]

[0062] Wherein, ρ is the air density, W is the incoming flow velocity, C is the chord length, C L is the airfoil lift coefficient, CD where C is the airfoil drag coefficient, and r is the radius at the blade position where the element is located.

[0063] The lift and drag forces on the element are decomposed into the plane of rotation of the wind turbine and the direction perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the wind turbine to obtain the normal force F n and the tangential force F t on the element:

[0064]

[0065] where C n is the normal force coefficient, and C t is the tangential force coefficient, which are expressed as:

[0066] C n = C L cos φ + C D sin φ

[0067] C t = C L sin φ - C D cos φ

[0068] The thrust and torque on the element at a distance r from the center of the wind turbine can be calculated by:

[0069]

[0070] where dT 叶素 is the thrust on the element, dM 叶素 is the torque on the element, and B is the number of blades.

[0071] According to the momentum theorem, the thrust and torque on a micro-element ring with a width of dr at a radius r of the wind turbine are:

[0072] dT 动量 = 4πρV 2 (1 - a)arbdr

[0073] dM 动量 = 4πρVΩ(1 - a)br 3 dr

[0074] But in reality, due to the limited number of fan blades, the blade disc will produce tip vortex shedding, and a part of the air flow from the lower surface of the blade to the upper surface, thus causing the secondary flow phenomenon of the inflow near the tip. The existence of these tip vortices makes the aerodynamic performance near the tip decrease sharply, and at this time the blade element momentum theory no longer meets the calculation requirements of the aerodynamic force near the blade tip. The energy loss caused by the tip vortex shedding will reduce the output power of the wind wheel. In order to make up for the calculation error caused by the tip vortex shedding, the concept of Prandtl tip loss factor is introduced. The tip loss factor F is expressed as:

[0075]

[0076] The tip loss factor F is applied to the thrust and torque equations of the momentum theorem to obtain the modified momentum equation:

[0077] dT 动量 =4πρV 2 (1-a)arFdr

[0078] dM 动量 =4πρVΩ(1-a)br 3 Fdr

[0079] Using dT 叶素 =dT 动量 , dM 叶素 =dM 动量 , the axial induction factor and the tangential induction factor are obtained as follows:

[0080]

[0081] In the calculation, first, the axial induction factor a and the tangential induction factor b are initialized, assuming a = b = 0; then the inflow angle φ is calculated according to the velocity synthesis relationship. After obtaining the inflow angle φ, the corresponding attack angle α of the airfoil is obtained, and the lift and drag coefficients under the corresponding attack angle are obtained by referring to the airfoil data table, so as to obtain the corresponding normal force coefficient and tangential force coefficient. The normal force coefficient, tangential force coefficient and inflow angle are substituted into the above a, b solving formula to obtain the axial induction factor a and the tangential induction factor b, and thus one iteration process is completed. Repeat this process until a and b converge. Then substitute the converged axial induction factor a and tangential induction factor b back into the thrust and torque formula of the micro-element ring to calculate the aerodynamic force on the blade element, and integrate the aerodynamic force on the blade element along the blade span to obtain the aerodynamic load on the blade and the wind wheel.

[0082] Based on the geometric exact beam theory (GEBT), a structural model is constructed, and the blade is simplified as a beam element, and the beam deformation state is shown in Figure 3 The nonlinear motion control equation of the geometric exact beam theory is as follows:

[0083]

[0084] where h and g are the linear and angular momentum in the inertial frame; F and M are the cross-sectional force and moment; u is the linear displacement of a point on the reference line; x0 is the position vector of the reference line point along the beam; f and m are the distributed force and moment applied on the beam structure; T is the transpose operator; the notation F' denotes the derivative with respect to the axial displacement; denotes the derivative with respect to time; the wavy operator defines the skew-symmetric tensor corresponding to the given vector.

[0085] The constitutive equations relate the velocity to the momentum and the one-dimensional strain measure to the cross-sectional result.

[0086]

[0087] where M is the 6x6 cross-sectional mass matrix and C is the 6x6 cross-sectional stiffness matrix; ε and k are the one-dimensional strain and curvature, respectively; ω is the angular velocity vector defined by the rotation tensor R, where ω = a x axial(RR T ), the vector a is associated with the second-order tensor A whose components are defined as:

[0088]

[0089] The one-dimensional strain ε and curvature k are defined as:

[0090]

[0091] where K = a x axial(RR0)'(RR0) T ) is the cross-sectional curvature vector decomposed in the inertial basis; x'0 is the derivative of the initial position vector with respect to the s-axis; u' is the derivative of the displacement vector with respect to the s-axis; R is the current rotation tensor and R0 is the initial rotation tensor; li is the unit vector in the xi direction in the inertial basis. The above equations collectively form the mathematical description of the geometrically exact beam elasticity problem.

[0092] The nonlinear governing equations of motion for the beam are solved by the Newton-Raphson method and the incremental equations are discretized by the Legendre spectral finite element method. The linearized form of the nonlinear governing equations of motion is given as follows:

[0093]

[0094] where, is the element mass matrix; is the rotation matrix; is the stiffness matrix; is the generalized element acceleration; is the generalized velocity, The generalized node displacement array increment; is expressed as an externally applied load; is expressed as an element force.

[0095] The time integration is calculated by using a generalized alpha time integrator:

[0096] |ΔU (i)T ( t+Δt R- t+Δt F (i-1) )|≤|ε E [ΔU (1)T ( t+Δt R- t F)]|

[0097] where ΔU is the increment of displacement vector, R is the externally applied node load vector; F is the node force vector corresponding to the internal element stress, ε E is the preset energy tolerance, the superscript on the left side of the variable indicates the time value, and the right side indicates the iteration number.

[0098] The three-dimensional rotation of the geometrically accurate beam theory can be expressed as Wiener-Milenkovic parameters, which are expressed by the following equation:

[0099]

[0100] where, is the rotation angle, and n is the unit vector of the rotation axis.

[0101] By simplifying the wind turbine blade into a beam element, inputting the corresponding structural parameters, and numerically realizing the node freedom through Legendre spectrum finite element, the trapezoidal integration method is used to model the wind turbine blade with a single element, and the Wiener-Milenkovic parameter is used to represent the three-dimensional rotation to obtain the linear displacement and angular displacement of each node of the blade. Secondly, the nonlinear motion control equation is solved by Newton-Raphson, and after linearization, the generalized alpha time integrator is used to determine whether the equation converges. The blade is simplified as a beam model as shown in Figure 4 .

[0102] The percentage of deformation variable is:

[0103]

[0104] where ω is the tip deformation, and l is the total length of the blade.

[0105] The construction of the tip loss coefficient database includes the following steps:

[0106] A plurality of groups of preset deformation amount blade geometry models are generated, each group of models corresponding to a different blade tip deformation amplitude value, and a corresponding CFD calculation grid is divided in the fluid domain; an unsteady CFD numerical simulation is performed on each deformation amount model to obtain the aerodynamic force corresponding to each deformation amount model; the aerodynamic force of each deformation amount model is divided by the aerodynamic force of the undeformed baseline model to generate an initial tip loss coefficient corresponding to each preset deformation amount; a correspondence between deformation amount and tip loss coefficient is established, and based on the simulation data of adjacent preset deformation amounts, a linear interpolation algorithm is used to calculate the tip loss coefficient corresponding to the intermediate deformation amount, forming continuous loss coefficient distribution data, and obtaining a tip loss coefficient database.

[0107] For adjacent known points (ω i , F extra(i) ), (ω i+1 , F extra(i+1) ), when the blade tip deformation amplitude ω is in the interval (ω i , ω i+1 ), the interpolation formula is:

[0108]

[0109] where ω is an arbitrary deformation amplitude in the interval (ω i , ω i+1 ).

[0110] For step S102, in one embodiment, the first mapping relationship is constructed based on the aeroelastic model and the tip loss coefficient database, including: obtaining a first initial blade deformation amount, the first initial blade deformation amount representing the geometric shape of the blade in the undeformed state; based on the first initial blade deformation amount, using the aeroelastic model and the blade loss coefficient database, determining a first initial aerodynamic force, a first blade deformation amount and a first corrected aerodynamic force; using a linear fitting method, based on the first initial blade deformation amount, the first initial aerodynamic force, the first blade deformation amount and the first corrected aerodynamic force, a first mapping relationship is established.

[0111] In one embodiment, the aeroelastic model comprises an aerodynamic model constructed based on blade element momentum theory and a structural model constructed based on geometrically exact beam theory; and the determining, based on the first initial blade deformation, the first initial aerodynamic force, the first blade deformation and the first corrected aerodynamic force by using the aeroelastic model and the tip loss coefficient database comprises: determining the first initial aerodynamic force by using the aerodynamic model based on the first initial blade deformation; determining the first blade deformation by using the structural model based on the first initial aerodynamic force; determining the tip loss coefficient corresponding to the first blade deformation by using a linear interpolation method based on the first blade deformation and the tip loss coefficient database; and determining the first corrected aerodynamic force by using the aerodynamic model based on the tip loss coefficient corresponding to the first blade deformation.

[0112] Specifically, when the blade has not been deformed, the blade deformation is 0, and the blade deformation is defined as the first initial blade deformation ω0, and the first initial aerodynamic force F1, the first blade deformation ω1 and the first corrected aerodynamic force F2 are calculated by using the aeroelastic model and the blade loss coefficient database based on the first initial blade deformation.

[0113] Specifically, the first initial aerodynamic force F1 is calculated by using the aerodynamic model based on the first initial blade deformation ω0, the blade will be deformed under the action of the first initial aerodynamic force F1, the first blade deformation ω1 under the action of the first initial aerodynamic force F1 is calculated by using the structural model, and the tip loss coefficient F extra under the first blade deformation ω1 is calculated by using an interpolation formula based on the first blade deformation ω1 and the tip loss coefficient database.

[0114] And the new values of the axial induction factor a and the tangential induction factor b are calculated by using the tip loss coefficient F extra

[0115]

[0116] F(r) = F extra *F, F(r) is the tip loss coefficient F extra and the tip loss factor F.

[0117] The new values of a and b are compared with the values of a and b in the previous iteration, if the new values of a and b are within the error range compared with the values of a and b in the previous iteration, the new values are taken; if not, the new values of a and b are taken as the values of a and b in the previous iteration, the new values of the axial induction factor a and the tangential induction factor b are recalculated, and the iteration is continued.

[0118] ​Based on the determined axial induction factor a and tangential induction factor b, the aerodynamic force on the blade element is calculated by substituting into the force and torque formulas of the micro-element ring. The aerodynamic load on the blade and the wind wheel is obtained by integrating the aerodynamic force on the blade element along the blade span, and the first corrected aerodynamic force F2 is obtained. At this time, two groups of data can be obtained: (ω0, F1), (ω1, F2). The relationship between the blade deformation and the aerodynamic force is as shown in Figure 5

[0119] Assuming that the relationship between the aerodynamic force and the deformation is linear, the first mapping relationship, i.e., the relationship between the blade deformation and the aerodynamic force, is established by a linear fitting method. The first mapping relationship is:

[0120] F = m1ω + b1

[0121] F1 = m1ω0 + b1

[0122] F2 = m1ω1 + b1

[0123] Wherein, F is the aerodynamic force, m1 and b1 are coefficients, ω is the blade deformation, F1 is the first initial aerodynamic force, ω0 is the first initial blade deformation, ω1 is the first blade deformation, and F2 is the first corrected aerodynamic force.

[0124] The two groups of data (ω0, F1) and (ω1, F2) are substituted into the first mapping relationship to solve the coefficients m1 and b1 of the first mapping relationship.

[0125] For step S103, in an embodiment, the second mapping relationship is constructed based on the aeroelastic model and the tip loss coefficient database, comprising: adopting the aeroelastic model to determine a second initial aerodynamic force, the second initial aerodynamic force representing the aerodynamic force of the blade in the undeformed state; based on the second initial aerodynamic force, adopting the aeroelastic model and the tip loss coefficient database to determine a second initial blade deformation, a second aerodynamic force and a second blade deformation; and adopting a linear fitting method to establish a second mapping relationship based on the second initial aerodynamic force, the second initial blade deformation, the second aerodynamic force and the second blade deformation.

[0126] ​In one embodiment, the aeroelastic model comprises an aerodynamic model constructed based on blade element momentum theory and a structural model constructed based on geometrically exact beam theory; and the determining the second initial blade deformation, the second aerodynamic force and the second blade deformation based on the second initial aerodynamic force comprises: determining the second initial blade deformation based on the second initial aerodynamic force by using the structural model; determining the second tip loss coefficient based on the second initial blade deformation and the tip loss coefficient database by using a linear interpolation method; determining the second aerodynamic force based on the second tip loss coefficient by using the aerodynamic model; and determining the second blade deformation based on the second aerodynamic force by using the structural model.

[0127] Specifically, the second initial aerodynamic force F1, which represents the aerodynamic force in the undeformed state of the blade, is calculated by the aerodynamic model, and the second initial aerodynamic force F1 is input into the structural model to obtain the second initial blade deformation ω1 of the blade under the second initial aerodynamic force F1.

[0128] After the deformation of the blade, the aerodynamic force acting on the blade changes, and the aerodynamic force needs to be re-evaluated. According to the second initial blade deformation ω1, the second tip loss coefficient F extra under the second initial blade deformation ω1 is calculated by using an interpolation formula in combination with the tip loss coefficient database, and the second aerodynamic force F2 is determined based on the second tip loss coefficient by using the aerodynamic model, and then the second aerodynamic force F2 is input into the structural model to calculate the second blade deformation ω2.

[0129] The first initial aerodynamic force in the embodiment is equal to the second initial aerodynamic force, the first corrected aerodynamic force is equal to the second aerodynamic force, and the first blade deformation is equal to the second initial blade deformation.

[0130] Assuming that the aerodynamic force and the blade deformation present a linear relationship, a second mapping relationship, i.e., a corresponding relationship between the aerodynamic force and the blade deformation, is established according to the second initial aerodynamic force, the second initial blade deformation, the second aerodynamic force and the second blade deformation, and the second mapping relationship is:

[0131] ω = m2F + b2

[0132] ω1 = m2F1 + b2

[0133] ω2 = m2F2 + b2

[0134] wherein F is the aerodynamic force, m2 and b2 are coefficients, ω is the blade deformation, F1 is the second initial aerodynamic force, F2 is the first corrected aerodynamic force, ω1 is the second initial blade deformation, and ω2 is the second blade deformation.

[0135] The two sets of data (F1, ω1) and (F2, ω2) are substituted into the second mapping relationship to solve the coefficients m2 and b2 of the second mapping relationship. The relationship between the aerodynamic force and the blade deformation is as shown in Figure 6

[0136] For step S104, in an embodiment, the blade deformation evaluation result is determined based on the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship, including: determining an aerodynamic force equation and a deformation equation based on the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship; and solving the aerodynamic force equation and the deformation equation to obtain a target blade deformation as the blade deformation evaluation result.

[0137] In an embodiment, the aerodynamic force equation and the deformation equation are solved to obtain the target blade deformation, including: solving the aerodynamic force equation and the deformation equation to obtain:

[0138] F = m1w + b1

[0139] ω = m2F + b2

[0140] wherein, b1 = F1, b2 = ω1 - m2F1, ω0 is the first initial blade deformation; ω1 is the first blade deformation; ω2 is the second blade deformation; F1 is the first initial aerodynamic force; F2 is the first corrected aerodynamic force; F is the target aerodynamic force; ω is the target blade deformation; and the target blade deformation is determined by calculating the balanced solution of the aerodynamic force and the blade deformation based on the simultaneous equations.

[0141] Specifically, the aerodynamic force equation is obtained through the first mapping relationship:

[0142] F = m1w + b1

[0143] The deformation equation is obtained through the second mapping relationship:

[0144] ω = m2F + b2

[0145] The aerodynamic force equation and the deformation equation are solved to obtain:

[0146] F = m1w + b1

[0147] ω = m2F + b2

[0148] The blade deforms under the action of the aerodynamic force, and the blade deformation changes the distribution of the aerodynamic force. Ultimately, in the iteration process, the aerodynamic force and the blade deformation converge to a balanced state, i.e., the aerodynamic force and the blade deformation are no longer changed. At this time, the aerodynamic force and the blade deformation are the target aerodynamic force F and the target blade deformation ω.

[0149] ​The method directly obtains the target aerodynamic force and the target blade deformation by solving the equilibrium state of the aeroelastic coupling through simultaneous equations, simplifies the mutual influence of the aerodynamic force and the deformation, avoids the inefficiency of the traditional iterative calculation, and realizes the rapid analysis of the blade deformation and the aerodynamic performance.
