Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a scenario for a method of determining wind turbine performance provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 1 As shown in the embodiments of this application, the fan performance determination method can be applied to pneumatic equipment, such as range hoods, which use fans to draw in and expel gas. During the fan design process, the gas flow rate and total gas pressure at the fan outlet are obtained, along with the fan's input power and the maximum pressure borne by the fan's volute surface. Based on the gas flow rate, total pressure, and input power, a first constant characterizing the fan's aerodynamic efficiency is determined. Based on the total pressure and maximum pressure, a second constant characterizing the noise generated by the fan is determined. Based on the first and second constants, the fan's performance parameters are determined. By determining the fan performance in pneumatic equipment through steady-state simulation, extensive calculations are eliminated, shortening the computation time and the fan design cycle.

[0033] based on Figure 1 The scene diagram shown below will be combined with... Figures 2-4 The method for determining the performance of a wind turbine provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining wind turbine performance provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps S101-S104.

[0035] S101, obtain the gas flow rate and total gas pressure at the outlet, obtain the input power of the fan, and obtain the maximum pressure that the surface of the volute can withstand;

[0036] Specifically, the fan performance determination method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to pneumatic equipment, which includes a fan, a volute, an air outlet and an air inlet on the volute, and a motor and an impeller inside the volute. The motor drives the impeller to rotate to generate airflow. Specifically, the impeller rotation draws in gas through the air inlet and discharges gas through the air outlet. When the gas flows inside the volute, it causes impact and friction on the volute, increasing the pressure on the surface of the volute. This application embodiment needs to obtain the gas flow rate and total gas pressure at the fan's air outlet, as well as the fan's input power and the maximum pressure on the surface of the fan's volute.

[0037] Among them, the gas flow rate from the outlet is the amount of gas discharged from the outlet per unit time. Since the gas is always in motion when the impeller rotates, the total pressure of the gas is the dynamic pressure of the gas. Dynamic pressure is the additional pressure generated on the surface of the volute by the gas molecules due to their velocity when the gas is in motion.

[0038] S102, based on gas flow rate, total pressure and input power, determine the first constant characterizing the aerodynamic efficiency of the fan;

[0039] Specifically, the energy in the motor is transferred to the impeller in the form of shaft work, which in turn drives the airflow. However, shaft work cannot be completely converted into the mechanical energy of the gas; some shaft work is converted into heat energy through internal friction of the gas or transmitted in the form of sound waves. Therefore, during the operation of the fan, apart from the noise and abnormal sounds generated by the motor, the remaining noise all comes from the portion of the shaft work that is not utilized by the gas. That is, the higher the aerodynamic efficiency of the fan, the lower the upper limit of noise. A first constant characterizing the aerodynamic efficiency of the fan is determined based on the gas flow rate, total pressure, and input power. The larger the first constant, the lower the noise. Among them, the output power of the fan can be obtained from the gas flow rate and total pressure, and then the aerodynamic efficiency of the fan can be determined from the output power and input power.

[0040] S103, based on the total pressure and the maximum pressure, determines the second constant characterizing the noise generated by the fan;

[0041] Specifically, in general pneumatic equipment, the noise level of the fan can be judged based on the pressure distribution on the surface of the volute. Specifically, based on the total gas pressure and the maximum pressure borne by the volute surface, a second constant characterizing the noise generated by the fan is determined.

[0042] S104, based on the first and second constants, determine the performance parameters of the wind turbine.

[0043] Specifically, the performance parameters of the fan are defined as the product of a first constant and a second constant. Based on the first constant and the second constant, the performance parameters of the fan can be determined. In the design process of the fan, this helps the R&D personnel find the optimal performance parameters that can balance the aerodynamic efficiency and the noise generated by the fan.

[0044] In this embodiment, the gas flow rate and total gas pressure at the fan outlet are obtained, along with the fan's input power and the maximum pressure exerted on the fan's volute surface. Based on the gas flow rate, total pressure, and input power, a first constant characterizing the fan's aerodynamic efficiency is determined. Based on the total pressure and maximum pressure, a second constant characterizing the noise generated by the fan is determined. Based on the first and second constants, the fan's performance parameters are determined. Determining the fan performance in the pneumatic equipment through steady-state simulation eliminates the need for extensive calculations, shortening computation time and the fan's design cycle.

[0045] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining wind turbine performance provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps S201-S206.

[0046] S201, obtain the gas flow rate, gas density and gas velocity at the gas outlet, and determine the total pressure of the gas at the gas outlet based on the gas density and gas velocity;

[0047] Specifically, the fan performance determination method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to pneumatic equipment, which includes a centrifugal fan. The fan includes a volute with an outlet and an inlet. A motor and an impeller are housed inside the volute, connected to each other. The motor drives the impeller to rotate, generating airflow. Specifically, the impeller rotation draws in gas through the inlet and discharges gas through the outlet. As the gas flows within the volute, it impacts and rubs against the volute, increasing the pressure on its surface. A flow meter and a gas flow sensor can be placed at the outlet to obtain the gas flow rate. The gas flow rate at the outlet is the amount of gas discharged per unit time, and the gas density is known. Based on the gas flow rate, the impeller diameter, and the impeller height, the gas velocity at the outlet is determined. Specifically, the flow area traversed by the gas as it passes through the outlet is determined by multiplying the impeller diameter and impeller height. The ratio of the gas flow rate to the flow area is then determined as the gas velocity at the outlet. Since the gas is in constant motion when the impeller rotates, the total pressure of the gas is called the dynamic pressure of the gas. Dynamic pressure is the additional pressure exerted on the surface of the volute by the gas molecules due to their velocity when the gas is in motion.

[0048] For example, if the fan is a multi-bladed centrifugal fan, the flow area of ​​the gas at the outlet is the lateral surface area of ​​the cylinder. Assuming the gas flow rate is Q, the gas density is ρ, the impeller diameter is D, the impeller height is h, and the gas velocity is v, then...

[0049]

[0050] The total pressure of the gas is p. According to Bernoulli's equation,

[0051]

[0052] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is an example schematic diagram of a fan provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the fan 4 includes an air inlet 41, an air outlet 42, and an impeller 43. The impeller 43 draws gas into the air inlet 41 by rotating and then discharges it from the air outlet 42.

[0053] S202, obtain the impeller speed and shaft torque, and determine the input power of the fan based on the impeller speed and shaft torque;

[0054] Specifically, the impeller speed and shaft torque of the fan are obtained, and the input power of the fan is determined based on these parameters. In physics, power is the scalar product of force and velocity, where velocity is the component along the direction of the force. Based on this, in rotating machinery, such as fans, the input power of the fan can be determined by the product of the impeller speed and the shaft torque.

[0055] If the impeller speed is ω, the shaft torque is T, and the input power is P shaft ,but

[0056] P shaft =ωT.

[0057] S203, obtain the maximum pressure that the surface of the volute can withstand;

[0058] Specifically, pressure sensors can be installed at different locations on the surface of the fan casing to ensure that the maximum pressure on the surface of the casing can be directly obtained. Numerical simulation of the internal flow field of the fan can also be performed. By solving the fluid dynamics equations, the pressure distribution map on the surface of the casing can be obtained, thereby obtaining the maximum pressure on the surface of the casing.

[0059] S204, the product of gas flow rate and total pressure is determined as the output power of the fan, and the ratio of output power to input power is determined as the first constant characterizing the aerodynamic efficiency of the fan;

[0060] Specifically, the energy in the motor is transferred to the impeller in the form of shaft work, which in turn drives the airflow. However, shaft work cannot be completely converted into the mechanical energy of the gas; some shaft work is converted into heat energy through internal friction of the gas or transmitted in the form of sound waves. Therefore, during the operation of the fan, apart from the noise and abnormal sounds generated by the motor, the remaining noise all comes from the portion of the shaft work that is not utilized by the gas. That is, the higher the aerodynamic efficiency of the fan, the lower the upper limit of noise. Therefore, a first constant characterizing the aerodynamic efficiency of the fan can be determined based on the output power and input power. The larger the first constant, the lower the noise. Since the output power is related to the gas flow rate and the total pressure, the product of the gas flow rate and the total pressure is determined as the output power of the fan, and the ratio of the output power to the input power is determined as the first constant characterizing the aerodynamic efficiency of the fan.

[0061] If the first constant is k1, then according to steps S201 and S202, we can obtain:

[0062]

[0063] S205 defines the ratio of total pressure to maximum pressure as the second constant characterizing the noise generated by the fan;

[0064] Specifically, based on the acoustic analogy (FW-H) equations

[0065]

[0066] It is known that noise sources during gas movement include quadrupole sound sources, dipole sound sources, and monopole sound sources. Quadrupole sound sources are related to unsteady flow effects in the gas, particularly unsteady changes in gas acceleration. However, for the gas flow involved in the pneumatic equipment provided in this embodiment, the gas flow is not unsteady, with a Mach number less than 0.1. Therefore, the quadrupole sound source term can usually be ignored. The Mach number is the ratio of the local flow velocity at a point in the gas to the sound velocity at that point. Monopole sound sources are generated by the flow field being cut by a wall. However, the fan in the pneumatic equipment provided in this embodiment is a fixed wall. Due to viscosity, v i =0, and the impeller in the fan is generally made of sheet metal, with the velocity vector v of the windward and leeward sides of the blades. i Approximately identical, but Since the terms are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, this term is approximately 0. Therefore, the monopole sound source term can also be ignored. Thus, the dipole sound source term can ultimately be considered the noise source in the wind-driven equipment. The dipole sound source term is a force-driven sound source, and the sound waves it generates are related to the unsteady forces in the gas. If we assume that the dipole sound source term is proportional to the total gas pressure, we can determine the noise level of the fan based on the pressure distribution on the volute surface. Specifically, the ratio of the total gas pressure to the maximum pressure borne by the volute surface is determined as the second constant characterizing the noise generated by the fan.

[0067] If the total pressure of the gas is p, then the maximum pressure exerted on the surface of the volute is p. max If the second constant is k2, then according to step S201, we can obtain:

[0068]

[0069] S206, the product of the first constant and the second constant is determined as the performance parameter of the wind turbine.

[0070] Specifically, the performance parameters of a fan include its aerodynamic efficiency and the noise it generates. Therefore, the product of the first constant and the second constant can be used to determine the fan's performance parameters. This helps researchers find the optimal performance parameters that balance the aerodynamic efficiency and the noise generated by the fan during the fan design process.

[0071] In this embodiment, by acquiring the gas flow rate, gas density, and gas velocity at the fan outlet, the total gas pressure at the outlet can be determined based on the gas density and gas velocity. Simultaneously, the impeller speed and axial torque of the fan can also be acquired. Based on the impeller speed and axial torque, the fan's input power is determined. The product of the gas flow rate and the total pressure is determined as the fan's output power. The ratio of output power to input power is determined as a first constant characterizing the fan's aerodynamic efficiency. When determining the second constant, the maximum pressure borne by the volute surface is acquired, and the ratio of total pressure to the maximum pressure is determined as a second constant characterizing the noise generated by the fan. Finally, the product of the first and second constants is determined as the fan's performance parameters. Determining the fan performance in the wind-driven equipment through steady-state simulation eliminates the need for extensive calculations, shortening the computation time and fan design cycle. In this embodiment, all sub-parameters used in calculating the fan's performance parameters can be directly obtained, reducing the operational complexity of the simulation process.
