Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fuzzy reasoning technology, specifically to a weather radar wind turbine clutter identification method and system based on fuzzy reasoning. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of next-generation Doppler weather radar and dual-polarization weather radar technologies, the application capabilities of radar in precipitation monitoring, severe convective weather warning, and hazardous weather identification have been continuously improved. By comprehensively utilizing multi-dimensional radar echo parameters such as reflectivity factor, radial velocity, spectral width, and differential reflectivity, weather radar has evolved from traditional qualitative observation to refined and quantitative detection. Simultaneously, the improvement in radar spatial and temporal resolution allows radar observations to more finely characterize the spatiotemporal evolution of atmospheric echoes, providing a data foundation for target identification and classification in complex echo environments. Against this backdrop, suppression and identification techniques for non-meteorological echoes have gradually become an important research direction in the field of weather radar signal processing, with related research continuously deepening its understanding of echo statistical characteristics, spatial structure features, and temporal stability characteristics.

[0003] However, in complex terrain environments, especially in areas with dense wind farms, non-meteorological echoes generated by large rotating structures such as wind turbines significantly interfere with weather radar observations. Wind turbine clutter typically exhibits strong reflectivity response, anomalous radial velocity distribution, and unstable spectral width characteristics. Its spatial morphology and temporal evolution share certain similarities with some meteorological echoes, making traditional clutter identification methods based on fixed thresholds or single parameters ineffective. Existing technologies rely on empirical thresholds or simple rules to eliminate clutter, resulting in insufficient adaptability and difficulty in handling echo differences across different radar systems, observation distances, and wind turbine operating conditions. Other methods attempt to introduce statistical discrimination or machine learning models, but these often have strong sample dependence, insufficient model interpretability, and high computational complexity in real-time applications, hindering engineering deployment. Furthermore, most existing technologies fail to simultaneously consider the temporal stability of echoes and the morphological consistency within their spatial neighborhood, leading to limited robustness in identifying wind turbine clutter and a tendency for misjudgments or omissions.

Finally, a fuzzy comprehensive judgment quantity is obtained by fusing multiple membership degrees, and combined with a preset threshold interval, the echo observation sub-unit is dynamically discriminated, thereby achieving continuous identification and differentiation of wind turbine clutter. This method, while balancing temporal stability and spatial consistency, improves the reliability and engineering applicability of wind turbine clutter identification in complex environments, providing effective support for weather radar data quality control and subsequent meteorological applications.

[0050] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a weather radar wind turbine clutter identification system based on fuzzy reasoning according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0051] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] Please see Figure 1 In this first embodiment: a weather radar wind turbine clutter identification method based on fuzzy reasoning is provided, which includes the following steps:

[0053] Step S1: Divide the monitoring area of ​​the target weather radar into several echo observation sub-units; construct a radar echo data acquisition device and a data acquisition time series, and collect the reflectivity factor, radial velocity, spectral width and differential reflectivity of the echo observation sub-unit at each data acquisition time point.

[0054] Specifically, the monitoring area of ​​the target weather radar is obtained from the weather radar data storage system. Based on the scanning azimuth and range gate of the target weather radar, the monitoring area is divided into several echo observation sub-units of the target weather radar according to spatial units, and a set of echo observation sub-units is constructed, denoted as . ,in, This represents the echo observation sub-unit corresponding to the m-th range gate and the n-th scanning azimuth angle, where M represents the total number of range gates and N represents the total number of scanning azimuth angles.

[0055] A radar echo data acquisition device is constructed, comprising a reflectivity acquisition unit, a Doppler velocity acquisition unit, a spectral width acquisition unit, and a polarization parameter acquisition unit. The reflectivity acquisition unit is used to acquire the reflectivity factor of the echo observation sub-unit; the Doppler velocity acquisition unit is used to acquire the radial velocity of the echo observation sub-unit; the spectral width acquisition unit is used to acquire the spectral width of the echo observation sub-unit; and the polarization parameter acquisition unit is used to acquire the differential reflectivity of the echo observation sub-unit.

[0056] Furthermore, a preset data collection time series is defined as follows: ,in, This represents the t-th data acquisition time point, where T represents the total number of data acquisition time points. At each data acquisition time point, the reflectivity factor, radial velocity, spectral width, and differential reflectivity of the echo observation sub-unit are collected. The data acquisition time points are then... Echo observation subunit acquired from the bottom The reflectivity factor, radial velocity, spectral width, and differential reflectivity are denoted as... and .

[0057] In this invention, the scanning azimuth angle is the angular direction of the radar antenna rotating and scanning on the horizontal plane. Typically, true north is defined as 0°, and the azimuth angle covers a full circle clockwise from 0° to 360°. The 360° circle is divided into N uniform angular units, each unit being a scanning azimuth angle. For example, when N=360°, each azimuth angle is spaced 1° apart; when N=720°, the spaced 0.5° apart. The more azimuth angles there are, the higher the horizontal resolution. It can be used to determine the position of the echo in the horizontal direction; for example, the nth scanning azimuth angle corresponds to a specific direction (such as 30° or 120°) pointed by the radar antenna.

[0058] A range gate represents the range interval unit along the propagation path of the electromagnetic wave emitted by the radar. The radar calculates the target distance by measuring the round-trip time of the signal and divides this range into multiple equally spaced small units. Assuming the radar can detect a maximum distance of 200 kilometers, if it is divided into M=2000 range gates, then the interval between each range gate is 100 meters (200km / 2000=100m). The more range gates there are, the higher the radial range resolution. The position of the echo in the radial distance is determined; for example, the m-th range gate corresponds to a position m × the range gate interval in front of the radar antenna (e.g., the 500th gate corresponds to 50 kilometers).

[0059] Each range gate (m) + scanning azimuth angle (n) corresponds to a unique echo observation sub-unit, which is equivalent to drawing a two-dimensional grid map of the radar monitoring area. Each grid is an independent analysis unit, ensuring that the subsequently collected data such as reflectivity factor and radial velocity can be accurately located to the specific spatial position.

[0060] Step S2: Calculate the reflectivity factor and radial velocity of the echo observation sub-unit on the data acquisition time series respectively; construct the echo stability characteristic of the echo observation sub-unit on the data acquisition time series.

[0061] Specifically, based on the data collection time point Echo observation subunit acquired from the bottom reflectivity factor and radial velocity Calculate the reflectivity factor separately. and radial velocity The dispersion of the data acquisition time series is calculated using the following formula:

[0062] ;

[0063] in, and Reflectivity factors and radial velocity The dispersion over the data acquisition time series, where T represents the total number of data acquisition time points. This represents the mean reflectance factor across all data acquisition time points. This represents the average radial velocity across all data acquisition time points.

[0064] It should be noted that dispersion is an indicator that measures the degree of data fluctuation. Here, the magnitude of the fluctuation of the parameters over time is quantified by calculating the average absolute deviation of the reflectivity factor and radial velocity from the mean in the entire time series (T time points).

[0065] Wind turbine clutter is generated by rotating components and exhibits small temporal fluctuations (small dispersion); meteorological echoes (such as precipitation and convection) fluctuate significantly with weather changes (large dispersion). This formula quantifies the difference in fluctuations, providing a temporal dimension for distinguishing between the two types of echoes, such as those from the echo observation subunit where the wind turbine is located. and It will be significantly lower than the surrounding meteorological echo units;

[0066] Based on reflectivity factor and radial velocity Based on the dispersion of the data acquisition time series, an echo observation sub-unit is constructed on the data acquisition time series. The echo stability characteristic is calculated using the following formula:

[0067] ;

[0068] in, Represents the echo observation sub-unit on the data acquisition time series. The echo stability characteristic quantity, This represents the maximum reflectivity factor in all echo observation sub-units at all data acquisition time points. This represents the maximum radial velocity value in all echo observation sub-units at all data acquisition time points.

[0069] It should be noted that the dispersion and Divide by the maximum reflectivity factor of the entire scene respectively and maximum radial velocity Normalize and then sum to obtain the comprehensive stable characteristic. This ensures that the feature values ​​are in the [0,2] interval, which facilitates subsequent unified analysis.

[0070] Normalization eliminates differences in parameter magnitudes (such as the different units of reflectivity factor and radial velocity). The smaller the value, the stronger the echo time stability, and the more likely it is wind turbine noise; A larger value indicates weaker stability and a higher likelihood of a meteorological echo. For example, if a certain unit... A value of 0.1 (close to 0) is most likely wind turbine noise; if If the value is 1.5 (close to 2), it is most likely a meteorological echo.

[0071] By condensing the two dimensions of reflectivity fluctuation and radial velocity fluctuation into a single stable feature, the core information is preserved while reducing the dimensionality of subsequent calculations, thus improving the overall algorithm efficiency. At the same time, the logic that greater stability equals greater likelihood of clutter is made more intuitive.

[0072] The normalization process is independent of the parameter range of a specific radar. Whether it is a Doppler radar or a dual-polarization radar, as long as the output reflectivity factor and radial velocity are obtained, it can be directly applied. This solves the problem of high dependence on specific radar systems in traditional methods and improves the versatility of the method.

[0073] Step S3: Construct an echo neighborhood set, calculate the spectral width consistency deviation and differential reflectivity consistency deviation between the echo observation sub-unit and the echo observation sub-unit in the echo neighborhood set; calculate the echo morphology consistency characteristic of the echo observation sub-unit at the data acquisition time point.

[0074] Specifically, taking the echo observation subunit Centered on the echo observation sub-unit set Selecting and echoing observation sub-units Adjacent echo observation sub-units are identified, and an echo neighborhood set is constructed, denoted as... ;

[0075] Based on data collection time points Echo observation subunit acquired from the bottom spectral width and differential reflectivity Calculate the echo observation sub-unit With echo neighborhood set The formulas for calculating the spectral width consistency deviation and differential reflectivity consistency deviation of the echo observation sub-unit are as follows:

[0076] ;

[0077] in, and These represent echo observation sub-units. With echo neighborhood set The spectral width consistency deviation and differential reflectivity consistency deviation of the echo observation sub-unit in the data. Represents the echo neighborhood set The number of echo observation sub-units in the middle, Let represent the echo observation sub-cell corresponding to the p-th range gate and the q-th scan azimuth angle, and . and These represent the data collection time points. Echo observation subunit acquired from the bottom Spectral width and differential reflectance;

[0078] It should be noted that, based on the echo observation subunit Centered on a central element, neighboring units are selected to form a neighborhood set. The average absolute deviation between the central cell and its neighboring cells in spectral width and differential reflectance is calculated to quantize the parameter consistency in the quantization space.

[0079] Wind turbine clutter is a localized, isolated echo with significant differences in spectral width and differential reflectivity compared to surrounding units; meteorological echoes, on the other hand, are spatially continuous and exhibit minimal parameter differences compared to surrounding units. This formula quantifies spatial differences, providing a spatial dimensional basis for distinguishing between the two types of echoes, such as the unit where the wind turbine is located. It will be significantly higher than the surrounding meteorological echo units.

[0080] By using the mean parameter deviation between the central unit and neighboring units, the spatial continuity of the echo is accurately characterized—wind turbine clutter is a localized, isolated echo with a large deviation from surrounding units, while meteorological echoes are spatially continuous with a small deviation, thus compensating for the lack of temporal dimension features. Spectral width and differential reflectivity are chosen as spatial comparison parameters because these two parameters are more sensitive to isolated clutter—the echoes generated by wind turbine rotation have an abnormal spectral width, and the differential reflectivity differs significantly from the surrounding atmospheric echoes, making spatial comparison more accurate than traditional methods using reflectivity factors and reducing misjudgments.

[0081] Based on echo observation subunit With echo neighborhood set The spectral width consistency deviation and differential reflectivity consistency deviation of the echo observation sub-unit are calculated at the data acquisition time point. The echo observation subunit below The echo shape consistency characteristic is calculated using the following formula:

[0082] ;

[0083] in, Indicates the data collection time point Lower echo observation subunit The echo morphology is consistent with the characteristic quantity. This represents the maximum spectral width across all echo observation sub-units at all data acquisition time points. This represents the maximum differential reflectivity of all echo observation sub-units at all data acquisition time points.

[0084] It should be noted that the consistency deviation amount, and Divide by the maximum spectral width of the entire scene respectively and maximum differential reflectivity Normalization, summation, and subtraction by 1 yield the morphologically consistent feature quantity. ,make The value is in the range [0,1]. A larger value indicates stronger spatial consistency.

[0085] To supplement the deficiencies in time characteristics and solve the problem of distinguishing between stationary targets (such as buildings) and wind turbine clutter—although building clutter is time-stable ( The value is small, but the spatial difference from the surrounding units may not be significant. (Value is large), while wind turbine noise is time-stable ( Small value), and spatially isolated ( (Small value). For example, the wind turbine unit's The value may be 0.2, for building units. The value may be 0.8, which is the value of the meteorological echo unit. The value could be 0.9.

[0086] Step S4: Based on the echo stability feature of the echo observation sub-unit on the data acquisition time series and the echo morphology consistency feature of the echo observation sub-unit at the data acquisition time point, calculate the membership degree of the echo stability feature and the echo morphology consistency feature respectively.

[0087] Specifically, based on the echo observation subunit of the data acquisition time series. echo stability characteristic and data collection time point Lower echo observation subunit echo morphology consistent characteristic Calculate the echo stability characteristic respectively Characteristic quantities consistent with echo morphology The membership degree is as follows:

[0088] The formula for calculating the membership degree of the echo stability characteristic is as follows:

[0089] ;

[0090] in, Indicates the membership degree of the echo stability characteristic. This represents the preset threshold for echo stability characteristics. This represents the preset echo stabilization characteristic quantity, the asymmetric attenuation coefficient.

[0091] It should be noted that membership degree is the core of fuzzy set, used to represent the degree to which an element belongs to the wind turbine clutter set (value [0,1]). It is a preset threshold (e.g., 0.3). It is the attenuation coefficient (e.g., 0.5): when (Extremely stable), membership degree is 1 (completely belongs to the clutter set); when Membership degree follows The value decreases exponentially as it increases, reflecting ambiguity (not black and white, but a gradual transition).

[0092] Avoid the problem of applying a hard threshold across the board. For example, Value = 0.3 (equal to) When ), the membership degree = 1. Value = 0.4 (slightly greater than) When the membership degree is approximately 0.82, When the value is 0.6, the membership degree is approximately 0.45, which distinguishes between stable and unstable echoes while preserving the rationality of the transition range, conforming to the gradual characteristics of actual echoes.

[0093] Echo stability characteristic threshold This value is used to determine whether the echo is stable in time. If it exceeds this value, it is considered unstable. It is usually set based on historical data or experimental experience. For example, it is set to 0.2 to 0.5, which means that if the echo stability characteristic is lower than this value, it is considered to have strong time stability and may be wind turbine noise.

[0094] Echo stability characteristic quantity asymmetric attenuation coefficient This is used to control the membership decay rate after a stable characteristic exceeds a threshold. It is usually adjusted according to the sensitivity of distinguishing clutter from meteorological echoes in practical applications, for example, by taking a value of 0.5 to 1.0.

[0095] The formula for calculating the membership degree of the echo morphology consistency feature is as follows:

[0096] ;

[0097] in, This indicates the membership degree of the echo morphology consistency characteristic. This represents the preset threshold for echo pattern consistency characteristics. This represents the asymmetric adjustment coefficient of the preset echo pattern consistency characteristic quantity.

[0098] Echo morphology consistency feature threshold This value is used to determine whether the echoes are spatially consistent. If the value is lower than this value, it is considered inconsistent. It is usually set to 0.7 to 0.9, which means that if the spatial consistency of the echoes is poor (small value), it is more likely to be wind turbine noise.

[0099] echo shape consistent characteristic quantity asymmetric adjustment coefficient This is used to control the rate at which the membership degree decays after the morphologically consistent feature exceeds a threshold.
