Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind field detection and multi-radar fusion algorithm technology, and in particular to a method and device for synchronous optical wave spatiotemporal wind measurement. Background Technology

[0002] Wind speed and direction information play a crucial role in wind farm power prediction, aviation flight safety, meteorological monitoring, and national defense applications. With the continuous development of large-scale wind farms and the increasing demand for refined weather forecasts, wind measurement technology not only needs to achieve long-distance, all-weather, and high-resolution detection, but also needs to maintain continuity and stability under complex weather conditions such as rain and fog. Currently, lidar and millimeter-wave radar are commonly used for wind measurement. Lidar employs a coherent Doppler system, with echoes primarily generated by atmospheric aerosol scattering. Within the clear sky boundary layer, aerosol content is relatively abundant, atmospheric extinction in the visible and near-infrared bands is minimal, and the short wavelength results in a larger Doppler frequency shift for the same velocity, while narrow beamwidth allows for a smaller detection volume. Therefore, higher spatial resolution and velocity measurement accuracy can be obtained under clear weather conditions. However, when entering low-visibility environments such as fog, rain, and dust storms, Mie scattering and absorption cause a sharp attenuation of the optical echo, shortening the effective distance, steepening the echo slope, and reducing the reliability of wind measurement. Millimeter-wave radar retrieves wind fields through Doppler analysis of the echoes scattered by water droplets, cloud particles, and other water condensates. In rain, fog, snow, and other weather conditions, the particle size of water condensates is comparable to the wavelength of millimeter waves, and the volume scattering coefficient is significant. At the same time, millimeter waves have better penetration ability for fog droplets than optical bands, thus maintaining high echo intensity and operational stability in adverse weather conditions. However, due to the limitations of longer wavelength and larger beam scattering volume, its spatial resolution and velocity measurement accuracy are usually lower than those of lidar.

[0003] To improve the adaptability of wind measurement systems under complex weather conditions and achieve all-weather operation, a combined approach using lidar and millimeter-wave radar offers significant advantages: lidar, under clear skies, can obtain high-precision, high-resolution wind field information thanks to its short wavelength and narrow beamwidth; millimeter-wave radar exhibits strong response to water condensation scattering in low-visibility environments such as fog and rain, resulting in more stable detection. For example, Chinese patent application CN116520312A provides a wind measurement method based on the fusion of millimeter-wave radar and lidar data. This method collects two types of radial wind speeds at the same time and altitude, selects the dominant mode based on valid bits or flag bits, and then uses fixed or scenario-specific weights for weighted output of the results. While this overcomes the limitations of single-mode measurement, it still suffers from the following problems: its weighting decisions essentially rely on posterior usability or unavailability judgments and empirical rules, ignoring the observational characteristics of different laser channels' applicability. This leads to limited wind measurement accuracy when facing cross-weather scenarios, and the switching from clear to foggy weather depends on flag bits and fixed thresholds, resulting in limited interpretability and continuity. For example, Chinese patent application CN116859384A provides a radar wind measurement method based on multi-radar data fusion. Although it avoids the problem of relying on empirical rules for weight decision-making in Chinese patent application CN116520312A by introducing adaptive weights, its calculation only relies on data variance and does not consider the impact of real-time meteorological parameters such as visibility and precipitation intensity on the reliability of sensor measurements. As a result, when the weather changes rapidly, the weight adjustment cannot respond to environmental changes in a timely manner, which can easily lead to lag or jumps in the fusion results. In addition, because it ignores the fact that the sensor quality will also change with complex weather changes when calculating the weights, the fusion algorithm will not be able to effectively identify and compensate for the decline in sensor data quality under some complex conditions, which will reduce the continuity and consistency of the measurement results and affect the overall stability and accuracy reliability of the system in variable environments.

[0004] Therefore, providing a high-precision wind measurement method that can adapt to complex weather changes is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0044] Compared with existing technologies, this invention provides a wind speed fusion weighting calculation method that considers the impact of complex environmental factors on the accuracy of multiple radar devices.

Dominant, relative humidity To assist in this process, a bounded and continuous meteorological ΔT–RH adjustment factor is constructed to apply a forward-looking and smooth meteorological correction to the main weights. This ensures that when a decrease in ΔT or an increase in RH indicates a decline in visibility, the meteorological... By increasing the adjustment factor, the millimeter wave weight is increased in advance, while the laser weight decreases synchronously. Combined with a soft threshold, the weight remains smooth and controllable as the environment evolves. This significantly reduces variance spikes and short-term oscillations in boundary weather, ensuring continuous weight transition and consistency of test results even when the weather changes, thereby achieving more accurate wind measurement.

This adjustment factor ensures that the entire process is continuous and controllable, avoiding hard weight switching caused by sudden weather changes.

[0114] To verify that the correction weights calculated by the method provided in this invention can change with weather variations, a test was conducted in this embodiment for a specific scenario. Clear-sky segments were selected from the historical data of this test environment, and the following reference values ​​were calculated: , , as well as .

[0115] And it can be calculated that, under clear sky conditions, the following holds true:

[0116] ,

[0117] As can be seen from the above parameters, in clear skies, wind measurement is mainly performed by lidar, and millimeter waves are hardly involved in the calculation.

[0118] Under light fog conditions:

[0119] ,

[0120] It is evident that millimeter-wave radar initially dominates under these conditions, but both radars participate together.

[0125]

[0126] It is evident that the weighting of moderate to heavy rain is dominated by millimeter-wave radar, while lidar hardly participates in the calculation.

[0127] Therefore, under the same measurement area and altitude, the weight will continuously shift from clear sky to fog and rain as the weather changes. In clear sky, the laser channel dominates, and the millimeter wave channel gradually takes over as visibility decreases. The meteorological factor only serves as a mild adjustment, smoothly pushing and pulling the main weight to make the transition continuous and without abrupt changes. Moreover, neither channel is cleared to zero under any non-extreme conditions. The main weight reflects the channel quality and relative signal-to-noise ratio, and works with the meteorological factor to achieve all-weather adaptiveness.
