TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a double-rotor wind turbine water pool test model device, in particular to a water pool test model device for a double-rotor wind turbine, and belongs to the technical field of wind power generation. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of offshore wind power technology, the operation performance and structural safety of wind turbines in complex marine environments have attracted increasing attention. In order to study the stress and motion characteristics of wind turbines under the coupling action of wind, wave and current, wind turbine water pool tests have gradually become an important research method. This method simulates real offshore environments by building a scaled model in a controllable water pool and using a wave-making, current-making and artificial wind field system, thereby realizing experimental research on the dynamic characteristics, stability and energy conversion efficiency of floating wind turbines.
[0003] At present, most wind turbine water pool tests are mainly carried out on single-rotor wind turbine models. Researchers study the stress changes and power output rules of wind turbines under different wind speeds, wave heights and platform motion conditions by arranging a single wind wheel model in the water pool and combining mechanical sensors and motion measurement systems. Such tests play an important role in verifying numerical simulation results, evaluating wind turbine platform stability and optimizing control strategies.
[0004] However, with the continuous increase of wind turbine installed capacity and blade length, the limitations of single-rotor wind turbines in energy capture efficiency and wake utilization gradually appear. The single-stage energy conversion mode of single-rotor wind turbines is difficult to fully utilize the wake kinetic energy, resulting in limited overall energy utilization. Researchers have proposed the concept of dual-rotor wind turbines (DRWT). This structure arranges two rotors in front and back on the same axis, realizes multi-stage energy extraction without significantly increasing the size of a single rotor, and effectively improves wind energy capture rate and reduces transmission system load by reasonably designing torque ratio, spacing and phase difference. Existing research shows that the dual-rotor structure can effectively improve the wake recovery characteristics, and its power coefficient (Cp) is higher than that of traditional single-rotor wind turbines, which has significant energy utilization potential. Cp
[0005] However, due to the complex structure of dual-rotor wind turbines and the strong coupling between rotors, existing wind turbine water pool test devices cannot meet the test requirements of dual-rotor systems. Traditional single-rotor devices usually only have a single driving shaft system and cannot realize independent adjustment of the spacing, relative speed and phase difference between the two rotors. It is also difficult to reproduce the real state of dual-rotor cooperative work in wind, wave and current coupling environments. SUMMARY
