Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind turbines, and in particular to a method, device, equipment and computer storage medium for identifying and testing a variable pitch system of a wind turbine. Background Art

[0002] For variable-pitch wind turbines, the purpose of stabilizing the rotor speed is achieved through variable pitch adjustment. During controller design and load simulation calculations, wind turbine manufacturers consider the performance of the variable pitch system to directly affect the wind turbine's safety margins, which in turn affects the overall construction and operating costs. Companies that use wind turbines for power generation operations pay close attention to whether the performance of the variable pitch system meets design requirements and whether significant performance degradation occurs during long-term operation. Failure of the variable pitch system to meet design requirements or performance degradation will lead to poor operational stability of the wind turbine, reduced unit availability, and resulting in power generation losses. Therefore, the performance of the variable pitch system is crucial to both the design and operation stages of wind turbines. It is necessary to perform system identification and performance evaluation of the variable pitch system.

[0003] Pitch system identification is typically performed during wind turbine prototype testing. Professional testers must follow a test outline and complete the process step by step. Much of this work is manual, and the test output is fragmented. After the on-site test, data integration and analysis by professionals are required to generate a pitch system identification report. This entire process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0045] Set the required test parameters such as the sine amplitude and period of the pitch test, the step change amplitude, and the pitch system design value.

[0046] The pitch system transfer model is a first-order or second-order transfer function.

[0047] S102: Collecting data timestamp, blade pitch angle requirement, blade pitch angle measured value, and blade pitch angular rate measured value;

[0048] The data required for pitch system identification is collected with the minimum execution cycle of the control system as the sampling cycle, and the recorded information includes at least timestamp, blade pitch angle requirement, blade pitch angle measured value, blade pitch angular rate measured value, etc.

[0049] S103: Setting the pitch control instruction in the test phase to add an offset to the blade pitch angle requirement, and performing a pitch test according to the pitch control instruction and the test outline process;

[0050] The pitch control test is performed according to the test outline process. The pitch control command output during the test phase is to add an offset to the original blade pitch angle demand command of the control system.

[0051] S104: Input the data from the test phase into the pitch system transfer model fitting parameters to obtain the pitch system identification results.

[0052] Using the data recorded during the test, the pitch system identification results are output according to the transfer model used in the design of the wind turbine pitch system.

[0053] The purpose of testing and evaluation is to continuously monitor the performance of the pitch system throughout the life cycle of the wind turbine. First, the system's performance is assessed to determine whether it is consistent with the design and, second, whether the system has experienced performance degradation after long-term operation. The wind turbine pitch system identification test method described in this invention requires only the setting of certain parameters during the evaluation process. The subsequent evaluation steps are then automatically completed by the test system according to the pre-set test and evaluation procedures. This reduces the fragmentation of the pitch system identification test process, improves the automation level of the test process, reduces the professional requirements for test personnel, and improves work efficiency.

[0056] Step b: When the current measured value of the blade pitch angle reaches the sum of the initial blade pitch angle offset, the blade pitch angle requirement, and the current blade pitch angle offset and remains stable, stop the sine test;

[0057] Step c: Repeat the test process of steps a and b multiple times for the current set of parameters;

[0058] Step d: Adjust the parameters multiple times, and after each adjustment, repeat the test process of steps ac to complete all sinusoidal tests.

[0059] Step e: updating the blade pitch angle offset according to the step change parameter;

[0060] Step f: When the current measured value of the blade pitch angle reaches the sum of the initial blade pitch angle offset, the blade pitch angle requirement, and the current blade pitch angle offset and remains stable, stop the step test;

[0061] Step g: Repeat the test process of steps e-f multiple times for the current set of parameters;

[0062] Step h: Adjust the parameters multiple times, and after each adjustment, repeat the test process of step eg to complete all step tests.

[0063] It should be noted that the blade pitch angle test of the present invention is not limited to a sine curve or a step curve, but may also be a test curve in other forms such as a ramp.

[0064] Based on the above embodiment, after obtaining the pitch system identification result, the following steps are further included:

[0065] The deviation between the pitch system identification result and the pitch system design parameters is calculated, and an evaluation conclusion is output based on the expert experience library to form a pitch system identification analysis report.

[0069] 2) Start data collection and record the data timestamp, blade pitch angle requirement, blade pitch angle measured value, blade pitch angular rate measured value

[0070] 3) Adjust the initial offset of the blade pitch angle β o , wait for the measured value of the blade pitch angle to reach β c +β o , continuously stable and unchanged 4) Set the pitch angle offset β according to the sinusoidal variation parameter s , the control system sends the pitch angle demand β c +β o +β s

[0071] 5) Stop the sine test, the pitch angle offset β s Set to 0, the blade pitch angle of the pitch system remains stable and does not change

[0072] 6) Test the process from 4) to 5) multiple times with the same set of parameters

[0073] 7) Adjust the parameters and execute the process from 4) to 6) again until all sine tests are completed.

[0074] 8) Set the pitch angle offset β according to the step change parameterj , the control system sends the pitch angle demand β c +β o +β j

[0075] 9) Stop the step test, the pitch angle offset β j Set to 0, the blade pitch angle of the pitch system remains stable and does not change

[0076] 10) Test the same set of parameters multiple times in the process of 8)-9)

[0077] 11) Adjust the parameters and execute the process from 8) to 10) again until all step tests are completed.

[0078] 12) Stop data collection
