Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments of the present application, and it should be understood that the present application is not limited to the example embodiments for explaining the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application. In addition, it should be noted that, for convenience of description, only the parts related to the present application are shown in the drawings, not all.

[0052] Embodiment one, as Figure 1 Fig. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a yaw cooperative control system of a wind turbine of a floating offshore wind farm according to the present application.

[0053] S100: Construct a digital twin of a floating offshore wind farm to obtain a twin wind farm.

[0054] Specifically, the digital twin of a floating offshore wind farm refers to a virtual simulation model and real-time synchronization mechanism based on the structure, state and environmental data of an actual floating wind farm, which is used to simulate, predict and feedback the running state of various devices in the wind farm and environmental changes. The twin wind farm is the mapping result of the digital twin in operation to the real wind farm, which has the ability of synchronous data input, state evolution and behavior output with the real system.

[0055] The twin wind farm obtained through the above construction process can simulate highly consistent dynamic response and predict parameters without directly intervening in the actual wind turbine, providing real-time visual feedback and prediction evaluation basis for the coordinated adjustment of the yaw angle of the wind turbine.

[0056] In some embodiments, constructing a digital twin of a floating offshore wind farm to obtain a twin wind farm includes:

[0057] The design parameters of the offshore floating wind farm are collected, and a wind farm control coupling model is established; the CFD wake model is integrated in the wind farm control coupling model to quantify the wake superposition effect and the time and space difference effect, and the twin wind farm is output; according to the historical wind condition data, the historical wind turbine yawing cooperation data and the historical power generation data are called in time sequence synchronization; the historical wind condition data, the historical wind turbine yawing cooperation data and the historical power generation data are used to calibrate the accuracy of the wake field distribution of the twin wind farm.

[0058] Specifically, a digital twin of an offshore floating wind farm is constructed, which is based on the physical structure and operating characteristics of the actual wind farm, and generates a virtual model system capable of dynamically simulating and feeding back the state of the wind farm through modeling and data synchronization. The digital twin includes a wind farm control coupling model, a wake influence modeling module, and a data calibration module. The control coupling model is used to simulate the operating control relationship between multiple floating wind turbines, the CFD wake model is used to analyze the spatial propagation and superposition effect of the wind turbine wake, and the wake field distribution accuracy calibration is used to improve the accuracy of the twin model using historical data.

[0059] Specifically, first, the design parameters of the offshore floating wind farm are collected, including but not limited to the hub height of the wind turbine, the blade length, the six-degree-of-freedom response characteristics of the platform, the mooring parameters of the floating system, the cable layout information, and the wind turbine control strategy parameters, and then a wind farm control coupling model considering attitude disturbance, load transfer and control interaction is established; then, a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) wake model is integrated in the coupling model to simulate the wake generated by a single and multiple wind turbines under complex wind conditions, wherein the time and space attenuation, lateral drift and superposition coupling effects of the wake need to be considered, and then the wake interference intensity and mutual influence relationship between the wind turbines in the wind farm are quantified, and a twin wind farm with wake correlation state mapping capability is output.

[0060] In addition, to enhance the prediction accuracy of the model, the historical wind condition data (such as wind speed and direction time series curve), historical wind turbine yawing cooperation control data and historical power generation data are further called in time sequence synchronization, and the deviation analysis and optimization adjustment of the CFD wake simulation results are performed based on the data, to complete the accuracy calibration of the wake field distribution of the twin wind farm.

[0061] The digital twin wind farm constructed by the above steps not only can accurately reproduce the yawing response and power generation performance of the offshore floating wind farm under specific wind conditions, but also can significantly improve the quantification ability of the wake disturbance effect and the response prediction accuracy of the wind turbine cooperation control. Compared with the traditional static model, the twin system has stronger dynamic consistency and time and space fitting capability, and can support the simulation verification, optimization and rolling update of the wind turbine yawing cooperation control strategy before deployment, thereby improving the overall power generation efficiency and energy scheduling flexibility of the offshore wind farm.

[0062] S200: After calling the historical wind condition data locally, a yaw coordination strategy solving is performed in the digital twin wind farm according to the historical wind condition data to construct a benchmark coordination control library.

[0063] Specifically, the pre-stored wind condition information is extracted from the local storage system, including but not limited to historical data records such as wind speed, wind direction, wind frequency, etc. Then, through a specific algorithm or model, the control strategy that can optimize the yaw coordination of wind turbines is found in the digital twin wind farm according to the historical wind condition data, so as to realize the efficient coordinated operation between wind turbines.

[0064] In some embodiments, after calling the historical wind condition data locally, a yaw coordination strategy solving is performed in the digital twin wind farm according to the historical wind condition data to construct a benchmark coordination control library, including:

[0065] The historical wind condition data is processed based on interval discretization to obtain a plurality of sample discrete wind condition scenarios; a plurality of sample coordinated yaw angles of the plurality of sample discrete wind condition scenarios are solved in the digital twin wind farm with the goal of maximizing the overall power generation; the plurality of sample discrete wind condition scenarios and the plurality of sample coordinated yaw angles are stored in association, and the benchmark coordination control library is output.

[0066] Specifically, interval discretization processing is to divide the originally continuously changing historical wind condition data (such as wind speed, wind direction) into a plurality of representative discrete intervals according to a certain interval division method, so as to form a limited number of typical wind condition scenarios, thereby facilitating subsequent batch optimization and strategy library construction.

[0067] Specifically, the coordinated yaw angle refers to the optimal yaw angle combination of all wind turbines in the wind farm determined through coordinated optimization under a specific wind condition scenario, which aims to improve the overall power generation or reduce the load, rather than the independent optimum of a single wind turbine. The benchmark coordination control library is a control strategy database that can be quickly called for actual operation, which is formed by mapping different wind condition scenarios and corresponding optimal coordinated yaw angles through offline simulation and optimization.

[0068] Specifically, first, the collected historical wind speed, wind direction and other wind condition data of the wind farm in recent years are discretized based on a predetermined discretization processing rule (such as discretization based on wind speed level interval); for example, the wind speed is divided into intervals of 3-5 m / s, 5-7 m / s, 7-9 m / s, etc., the wind direction is divided into intervals of 0-30°, 30-60°, etc., and a plurality of typical wind condition scenario samples (such as wind speed 5-7 m / s and wind direction 30-60°) are formed.

[0069] Then, subsequently, the twin wind farm model is used to cooperatively optimize each discrete wind condition scenario, that is, in each discretized wind condition scenario, the intelligent optimization methods such as genetic algorithm, particle swarm, etc. are used to solve the optimal cooperative yaw angle combination of all wind turbines in the wind farm with the goal of maximizing the total power generation of the wind farm.

[0070] Further, the sample discrete wind condition scenarios and the corresponding sample cooperative yaw angles are associated and stored, and finally a reference cooperative control library is formed. For example, the reference cooperative control library contains the following contents: the yaw angle set corresponding to scenario 1 (wind speed 5-10 m / s, wind direction 45-90°, sea wave height 1-2 m) is {wind turbine A: 15°, wind turbine B: 20°, wind turbine C: 10°};The yaw angle set corresponding to scenario 2 (wind speed 10-15 m / s, wind direction 90-135°, sea wave height 2-3 m) is {wind turbine A: 25°, wind turbine B: 30°, wind turbine C: 20°} and so on.

[0071] Through the above process, the standardization and efficiency of the wind farm operation strategy can be realized. First, the reference cooperative control library established based on historical data and simulation optimization can significantly improve the overall power generation efficiency of the wind farm and reduce the wake loss. Second, the pre-construction of the control library greatly reduces the online calculation burden, so that the wind farm can quickly respond to changes in wind conditions in actual operation, improving the self-adaptability of the wind farm. In addition, this method has good scalability and maintainability, and the control library can be updated regularly according to new historical data collected in the future to continuously optimize the operation strategy of the wind farm.

[0072] In some implementations, the historical wind condition data is discretized based on intervals to obtain a plurality of sample discrete wind condition scenarios, including:

[0073] The discretization core parameter index is set, wherein the discretization core parameter index is composed of a wind speed index, a wind direction index, and a sea wave height index. The index interval division rule of the discretization core parameter index is set. The plurality of historical wind condition records corresponding to the plurality of historical collection nodes are called from the historical wind condition data with the discretization core parameter index as a constraint. The plurality of historical wind condition records are segmented into a plurality of wind condition scene discrete matrices according to the index interval division rule. The plurality of wind condition scene discrete matrices are aggregated to obtain the plurality of sample discrete wind condition scenarios.

[0074] Specifically, the discretization core parameter index refers to the key physical quantity selected when the wind condition is characterized and classified. These parameters directly affect the operation state and power generation efficiency of the wind turbine, including wind speed, wind direction, and sea wave height.

[0075] Specifically, the index interval division rule is a specific method for interval division of the above-mentioned parameters, such as equal interval division, equal frequency division, or adaptive division based on statistical distribution. The historical acquisition node refers to various sensors or measuring points arranged in the wind farm for collecting wind condition data. The wind condition scene discrete matrix refers to the organization of historical wind condition data in the form of a matrix under a specific parameter interval, which is used for subsequent analysis and modeling.

[0076] Specifically, first, the discretization core parameter index is set, such as wind speed (m / s), wind direction (°), and sea wave height (m). Then, for each index, the interval division rule is set, for example, wind speed can be set to 0-4, 4-8, 8-12 m / s, wind direction can be set to 0-60°, 60-120°, 120-180°, etc., and sea wave height can be set to 0-1 m, 1-2 m, 2-3 m, etc. Then, from the historical wind condition data, the wind speed, wind direction, sea wave height, etc. of all historical acquisition nodes in the corresponding time period are extracted, and all historical wind condition records are divided into different wind condition scene discrete matrices according to the interval division rule. For example, at time A, the wind speed of node A is 6 m / s, the wind direction is 75°, and the sea wave height is 1.2 m. This data is classified into the scene of "wind speed 4-8 m / s, wind direction 60-120°, sea wave height 1-2 m".

[0077] Further, similar processing is performed for all acquisition nodes and times to obtain multiple groups of wind condition scene discrete matrices, and the multiple groups of matrices obtained are aggregated according to the interval combination method to obtain a series of representative sample discrete wind condition scenes. Each scene represents a certain range of wind condition characteristics. For example, a sample discrete wind condition scene may include all historical records with wind speed in the range of 5-10 m / s, wind direction in the range of 45-90°, and sea wave height in the range of 1-2 m.

[0078] Through the above process, the historical wind condition data is structured and standardized, and typical wind condition scenes of wind farm operation can be effectively extracted. The interval discretization method based on multiple core parameters not only considers the direct impact of wind speed and wind direction on wind turbine power generation, but also introduces environmental factors such as sea wave height, making the sample scene more representative and applicable. By aggregating a large amount of historical data, the interference of incidental extreme wind conditions on subsequent optimization can be reduced, and the statistical reliability of the sample can be improved.

[0079] In some implementations, a plurality of sample cooperative yaw angles of the plurality of sample discrete wind condition scenes are solved in the twin wind farm with the goal of maximizing the overall power generation, including:

[0080] The historical yawing feature is called under the first sample discrete wind condition scene to obtain multiple historical cooperative power generations of multiple historical cooperative yawing angles; the reference cooperative yawing angle is screened from the multiple historical cooperative yawing angles according to the multiple historical cooperative power generations; the first sample discrete wind condition scene and the reference cooperative yawing angle are loaded in the twin wind farm to initialize the wind turbine layout and the floating platform dynamic parameters; the gradient descent method is used to adjust the wind turbine yawing angle in the twin wind farm with the reference cooperative yawing angle as the starting point until the first sample cooperative yawing angle maximizing the whole field power generation is output.

[0081] Specifically, the historical cooperative yawing angle refers to the specific yawing setting of each wind turbine under the historical wind condition. The historical cooperative power generation refers to the actual power generation under these yawing settings. The reference cooperative yawing angle is the angle combination with the optimal power generation selected from the historical yawing angles by comparing the historical cooperative power generations.

[0082] Specifically, initializing the wind turbine layout and the floating platform dynamic parameters refers to setting the spatial arrangement of the wind turbines and the dynamics state of the floating foundation in the twin wind farm simulation environment.

[0083] Specifically, first, a scene is randomly selected as the first sample discrete wind condition scene, and all yawing angle combinations and their power generation records under similar wind conditions in the historical database are correspondingly called. For example, for the scene of "wind speed 4-8 m / s, wind direction 60-120°, sea wave height 1-2 m", the yawing angles (such as [8°, 10°, 9°], [6°, 11°, 7°], etc.) once used by the corresponding wind turbines in the historical operation and the corresponding whole field power generation are retrieved. Then, the combination with the highest cooperative power generation is selected from these historical cooperative yawing angles as the reference cooperative yawing angle of the scene.

[0084] Further, in the twin wind farm simulation model, the spatial position of the wind turbines, the dynamic parameters of the floating platform, and other simulation environments are initialized based on the sample wind condition scene and the reference cooperative yawing angle. Then, the gradient descent method is used to fine-tune the wind turbine yawing angle with the reference cooperative yawing angle as the initial point. The whole field power generation is calculated after each adjustment, and the optimal cooperative yawing angle under the scene is finally output until the power generation reaches the maximum value.

[0085] Through the above process, the historical operation experience and the simulation optimization capability are fully integrated to further improve the power generation performance. Among them, starting from the historical optimal yawing angle helps to accelerate the convergence speed of the gradient descent method, reduce invalid search, and improve the optimization efficiency; at the same time, the introduction of the twin wind farm ensures the physical feasibility and engineering applicability of the optimization results.

[0086] S300: Access a remote weather forecast center to call predicted wind condition data falling within a prediction time window.

[0087] Specifically, the remote weather forecast center refers to an external weather forecast service center for providing real-time weather forecast data. The predicted wind condition data includes, for example, wind speed, wind direction, air pressure and the like in a future period of time. The prediction time window is a preset time range, which can be determined according to the actual demand of the wind farm and the accuracy of the weather forecast, such as 24 hours, 48 hours or 72 hours, etc., to ensure that the obtained weather forecast data has high reference value. The predicted wind condition data is the prediction information about the future wind speed, wind direction and the like provided by the weather forecast center, which will be used for the forward-looking control of the wind farm.

[0088] S400: Traverse the reference cooperative control library using the predicted wind condition data, and output a reference cooperative yaw angle.

[0089] Specifically, the predicted wind condition data is a continuous data stream of wind speed, wind direction and the like in a future period of time obtained from the wind farm environment perception system or an external weather model. Through the traversal operation, the predicted wind condition can be matched and identified with the scene in the control library, and the yaw angle corresponding to the closest scene is output as the reference cooperative yaw angle, which is used to provide a better optimization starting point for subsequent control optimization, thereby improving the decision-making efficiency of the yaw control of the current wind farm.

[0090] In some embodiments, traversing the reference cooperative control library using the predicted wind condition data and outputting a reference cooperative yaw angle comprises:

[0091] According to the numerical inclusion relationship between the predicted wind condition data and the plurality of sample discrete wind condition scenes in the reference cooperative control library, a reference cooperative yaw angle is positioned among the plurality of sample cooperative yaw angles; the reference cooperative yaw angle is called and output to the twin wind farm for yaw cooperative control optimization.

[0092] Specifically, first, the predicted wind condition data is obtained, which includes wind speed, wind direction, height profile information and the like at each sub-time in the prediction period; then, the predicted wind condition data is compared with the plurality of sample discrete wind condition scenes in the reference cooperative control library in terms of numerical inclusion or similarity, to identify the nearest sample scene corresponding to the predicted wind condition data in the library. For example, the Euclidean distance, wind direction interval envelope, wind speed vector similarity and the like can be used for judgment.

[0093] Further, after identifying the most matching sample, the yaw angle in the corresponding cooperative yaw angle set of the sample is taken as the reference cooperative yaw angle, that is, the cooperative yaw control strategy of the fan group recommended in the current wind condition; finally, the reference cooperative yaw angle is input into the digital twin wind farm control model as the initial input or search guide item of the yaw control optimization, and further iteration and scheduling optimization of the control strategy are carried out.

[0094] The above sample matching and reference yaw angle output process based on predicted wind condition data enables the control system to generate a cooperative control initial value with global reference value in advance before the future wind condition changes, effectively shortens the optimization time delay and avoids entering the invalid solution area; through the high-quality sample strategy pre-embedded in the reference cooperative control library, the minimization control of the wake effect can be realized while ensuring the stability of the overall output power of the wind farm, thereby improving the group power generation efficiency and the utilization rate of the fan life.

[0095] S500: Taking the reference cooperative yaw angle as the starting point, performing yaw cooperative control optimization in the twin wind farm according to the predicted wind condition data, and outputting a predicted cooperative yaw angle.

[0096] Specifically, in actual operation, the yaw strategy of the wind farm needs to be dynamically adjusted according to the future wind condition change: first, the reference cooperative yaw angle obtained by the historical data optimization is taken as the initial solution, and the latest predicted wind condition data (such as wind speed of 7 m / s, wind direction of 90°, sea wave height of 1.5 m, etc.) is loaded into the twin wind farm simulation platform. Then, under the constraint condition of the predicted wind condition, a numerical optimization method (such as gradient descent method or genetic algorithm) is used to cooperatively optimize the yaw angle of each fan.

[0097] Specifically, in the optimization process, the simulation platform calculates the influence of different yaw combinations on the overall power generation in real time, adjusts the yaw angle gradually, until the power generation converges to the maximum value or reaches the preset optimization step number, selects the yaw angle combination that makes the overall power generation reach the maximum value, and finally outputs the optimal cooperative yaw angle under the predicted wind condition as the actual yaw setting of each unit in the next control period, which is real-time issued to the wind farm control system.

[0098] Through the above process, the forward-looking adaptive control of the wind farm on the future wind condition is realized, and the yaw strategy of each unit can be dynamically adjusted according to the predicted environment. Among them, taking the historical optimization result as the starting point, the convergence time of the optimization algorithm is significantly shortened, and the response speed and accuracy of the control strategy are improved. Through the high-precision simulation of the twin wind farm, the physical feasibility and engineering practicability of the optimization result are guaranteed.

[0099] S600: In the predicted time window, the power generation intervention of the offshore floating wind farm is performed according to the predicted cooperative yaw angle.

[0100] In some embodiments, in the predicted time window, the power generation intervention of the offshore floating wind farm is performed according to the predicted cooperative yaw angle, including:

[0101] The real-time cooperative yaw angle is called, the cooperative difference quantization value of the real-time cooperative yaw angle and the predicted cooperative yaw angle is calculated, if the cooperative difference quantization value is less than a preset difference threshold, the real-time cooperative yaw angle is continued to be used to perform the power generation intervention of the offshore floating wind farm in the predicted time window, and if the cooperative difference quantization value is greater than the preset difference threshold, the power generation intervention of the offshore floating wind farm is performed according to the predicted cooperative yaw angle in the predicted time window.

[0102] Specifically, the real-time cooperative yaw angle refers to the combination of the yaw angles actually applied to the wind turbines of the wind farm at present. The cooperative difference quantization value refers to the overall deviation degree between the real-time cooperative yaw angle and the predicted cooperative yaw angle quantitatively measured by a mathematical method such as Euclidean distance, weighted absolute value, etc. The preset difference threshold is a numerical limit preset for judging whether the current control strategy needs to be switched.

[0103] Specifically, in the predicted time window (for example, the next 10 minutes), the real-time cooperative yaw angle of the current wind turbines (for example, [10.0°, 11.0°, 9.0°]) is first obtained and compared with the predicted cooperative yaw angle (for example, [9.8°, 11.2°, 8.4°]) obtained by the foregoing optimization. A cooperative difference quantization method is used, for example, the Euclidean distance of the two groups of yaw angles is calculated.

[0104] Then, the cooperative difference quantization value is compared with the preset difference threshold. If the calculated cooperative difference quantization value is less than the preset difference threshold, it can be considered that the current real-time cooperative yaw angle is highly consistent with the predicted cooperative yaw angle, and no adjustment is needed. The current real-time cooperative yaw angle is continued to be used to perform the power generation intervention of the wind farm, so as to avoid mechanical loss and control system burden caused by frequent adjustment. If the cooperative difference quantization value is greater than the preset difference threshold, it indicates that there is a significant difference between the current actual yaw state and the optimal predicted yaw state, and the yaw angles of the wind turbines will be adjusted according to the predicted cooperative yaw angle, and a new power generation intervention strategy is implemented to improve the overall power generation performance of the wind farm.

[0105] Through the above process, the dynamic adaptive adjustment of the yaw control of the wind farm is realized, which can not only ensure the sensitive response of the system to the change of wind conditions, but also avoid frequent switching of control instructions due to slight deviations, prolong the service life of the equipment and improve the operation stability. In other words, the above steps effectively reduce the energy consumption and maintenance cost of the control system while maximizing the power generation benefit, thereby improving the economy and reliability of the wind farm.

[0106] In summary, the yaw cooperative control method of the offshore floating wind farm provided by the present application has the following technical effects:

[0107] By constructing a digital twin model corresponding to the target offshore floating wind farm, a twin wind farm for control simulation is formed; based on the locally called historical wind condition data, a yaw cooperative control strategy solution is executed in the twin wind farm to construct and store a reference cooperative control strategy library; a remote weather forecast service is accessed to obtain predicted wind condition data within a target prediction time window; the predicted wind condition data is input into the reference cooperative control strategy library for control strategy matching, and the corresponding reference cooperative yaw angle is output; the reference cooperative yaw angle is taken as the initial control condition, and the cooperative control optimization is executed in the twin wind farm based on the predicted wind condition data to obtain an optimized predicted cooperative yaw angle; within the prediction time window, the yaw control intervention of the offshore floating wind farm is implemented according to the predicted cooperative yaw angle, thereby realizing the technical effects of proactive power generation intervention and improving the power generation efficiency and stability.
