Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind power generation technology, and in particular to a method and system for optimizing the operation of wind farm units based on artificial intelligence. Background Technology
[0003] Wind power, as a clean, low-carbon, safe, efficient, and large-scale energy source, is an important choice for promoting green development, establishing and improving a green, low-carbon, and circular economic system, and strengthening the clean energy industry. However, its level of intelligence is relatively low compared to hydropower and thermal power. With the continuous development of digital, information, and intelligent technologies, it is imperative to improve the intelligence level of the wind power industry by utilizing advanced means such as information and communication technology, big data, cloud computing, the Internet of Things, mobile applications, and sensing technology.
[0004] In practice, some problems still exist: With the rapid development of wind power generation technology, the operating efficiency and reliability of wind farm units have become increasingly important for improving wind energy utilization. However, existing wind farm units generally have the following problems in actual operation: On the one hand, due to the instantaneous changes in environmental factors such as wind speed, wind direction and turbulence intensity, the unit output power fluctuates greatly. Traditional experience-based control methods are difficult to adjust the unit attitude and pitch angle in real time and accurately, resulting in effective wind energy loss. On the other hand, the turbine blades and towers bear complex loads during long-term operation. Existing monitoring methods mostly rely on a single sensor or periodic inspections, which cannot fully reflect the fatigue state of the blades and the changes in the bending moment of the tower. This can easily lead to the accumulation of structural fatigue and reduce the life of the turbine. In addition, there is wake interference between the turbines. Downwind turbines are affected by the wake of upwind turbines, resulting in a significant decrease in power output. However, existing power allocation strategies lack the ability to dynamically optimize wake characteristics and the overall layout of the wind farm, resulting in low power generation efficiency of the wind farm cluster.

The wind farm group scheduling module optimizes power in groups. The execution module implements pitch angle, power limit, and yaw actions, achieving efficient, coordinated, and intelligent control of the wind farm turbine operation optimization system.
[0033] Working principle: First, the data acquisition module continuously acquires the unit's output power data, vibration data, temperature data, speed data, yaw angle data, and blade root strain data. At the same time, the lidar deployed on the top of the nacelle acquires the upwind wind speed, wind direction, wind shear, and turbulence intensity. All the acquired data is synchronized in time within the module to match various signals on a unified time axis. A preliminary noise filtering algorithm is used to remove discrete noise caused by wind speed fluctuations, equipment vibration, and environmental interference. The preprocessed data serves as the input basis for subsequent analysis and optimization control. Subsequently, the digital twin model module constructs a digital twin model of the wind turbine based on the whole-machine dynamics model, and constructs a blade finite element model based on the blade main beam structure model, web structure model and shell structure model. It also constructs a tower structure model based on the tower equivalent stiffness parameters. The above models are updated synchronously with the unit load, unit deformation and unit power response under real-time data drive, so that the digital twin model can accurately reflect the dynamic state and structural state of the actual unit under different wind conditions, providing a reliable basis for control strategy. While the digital twin model is continuously updated, the artificial intelligence analysis module extracts spatial features from the real-time data of the unit through convolutional neural networks and extracts time series features through long short-term memory networks. Finally, it generates a state vector composed of yaw error quantification index, wake intensity index, blade health decay index, tower bending moment change index, and power decay trend index. This state vector comprehensively reflects the unit's operating deviation, structural fatigue degree, and power generation performance decline trend, and is the core input for subsequent intelligent control. Once the state vector is generated, the yaw correction module establishes a power-to-yaw angle curve based on the difference between the real-time power curve and the theoretical maximum power curve using a scatter-point fitting algorithm. It then calculates the first derivative of this curve and uses the position where the first derivative is zero as the yaw compensation angle, thereby driving the unit to perform yaw actions. This mechanism keeps the unit aligned with the upwind direction, reduces the effective wind energy loss caused by yaw errors, and reduces structural fatigue problems caused by frequent yaw system actions. In addition to yaw correction, the wake calculation module uses a digital twin model to calculate the wake distribution of the wind farm. Based on the relative position between the upwind and downwind turbines and the wind direction shift trend, this module dynamically generates the pitch angle adjustment and power limit value of the upwind turbines, so that the downwind turbines are in the region with weaker wake turbulence. By adjusting the operating mode of the upwind turbines, the quality of the airflow entering the downwind turbines is improved, thereby enhancing the overall energy capture capability and increasing the power generation of the wind farm. After obtaining wake information, the cluster scheduling module divides the units into multiple groups based on their relative positions and the prevailing wind direction. The groups are divided using the K-means algorithm to ensure that units in the same wake chain belong to the same group. This module generates an independent power allocation strategy for each group to ensure minimal mutual interference between units while keeping the overall output close to the optimal level. Ultimately, the execution module implements pitch angle adjustment, power limit adjustment, and yaw execution actions based on the optimization strategy, realizing the application of control parameters on the physical unit. When the unit is equipped with blade tip biplanes, the execution module further combines the aerodynamic characteristics of the blade tip biplanes to achieve higher wind energy utilization, enabling the unit to maintain stable output under different wind conditions.
