Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of the wind power industry, wind farms are expanding in scale and the number of wind turbines within them is increasing daily. In traditional wind farm control models, each wind turbine often employs an independent control strategy or relies on a central control system for unified scheduling. Under independent control, each turbine operates based solely on local information collected by its own sensors, failing to fully consider factors such as wake effects between turbines and spatial differences in wind speed and direction, resulting in low wind energy resource utilization efficiency. While a central control system can provide comprehensive planning, it suffers from high communication latency and poor system reliability. A failure in the central controller severely impacts the operation of the entire wind farm. Furthermore, processing real-time data from a large number of turbines places a heavy computational burden, making it difficult to make quick, accurate, and effective control decisions. Moreover, existing control methods struggle to achieve optimal power generation performance across the entire wind farm while ensuring equipment reliability and extending equipment lifespan. The pursuit of high power generation may lead to some turbines operating under prolonged high loads and stresses, accelerating equipment aging, increasing the risk of failure, and raising maintenance costs. Therefore, a new control algorithm is urgently needed to achieve efficient collaborative control of multiple wind turbines in a wind farm and to balance the relationship between power generation performance and equipment reliability.

[0012] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, 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, 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.
[0013] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for improving the coordinated output of multiple wind turbine units in a wind farm is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of executable computer instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.
[0014] This embodiment provides a method for enhancing the collaborative output of multiple wind turbine units in a wind farm based on a lead-winger mode. The multiple wind turbine units in the wind farm include a lead turbine unit (hereinafter referred to as the lead turbine) and a wingman unit (hereinafter referred to as the wingman). The method is applied to the lead turbine unit. Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for improving the coordinated output of multiple wind turbine units in a wind farm according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps: Step S101: Obtain first collected data, second collected data, and / or predicted data. The first collected data is data collected by the sensors of the lead aircraft crew itself, the second collected data is data collected by the sensors of the wingman crew, and the predicted data is data predicted based on the first collected data and / or the second collected data. Specifically, the first and second collected data include real-time wind speed, wind direction, power output, rotational speed, blade pitch angle, vibration, etc.
[0015] The predicted data can be obtained by using a pre-trained prediction model based on the collected data (first collected data and / or second collected data). When making predictions, it can be combined with short-term weather forecasts for the area where the wind farm is located.
[0016] Step S102: Based on the first collected data, the second collected data, and / or the predicted data, locate the wake influence area and wind direction sensitive area of the wind farm; Specifically, the wake effect zone is the area where wind speed loss is significant (e.g., greater than 10% or 15%). The wind direction sensitive zone is the area where even a small change in wind direction causes a large fluctuation in wind turbine power.
[0017] Step S103: With the goal of maximizing the output of the wind farm, a targeted strategy is formulated based on the wake influence area and the wind direction sensitive area obtained by location. The target strategy includes a wake avoidance strategy and a power allocation strategy. Wake avoidance strategies include, for example, controlling upstream wind turbines to yaw at a small angle to disperse the wake and allow downstream turbines to generate more power. Another example is adjusting the blade pitch angle of turbines located in the wake's influence zone to reduce load, i.e., changing the force on the turbines and weakening the pulsating load caused by the wake. Regarding power allocation strategies, these could include allocating lower target output power to turbines in wind-sensitive areas, which are more susceptible to crosswinds and turbulence; or increasing the rotational speed of units in high-wind-speed areas (i.e., the prevailing wind zone) to maximize power output, i.e., allocating higher target output power. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when strong winds are predicted, a load reduction command can be issued in advance to protect equipment safety.
[0018] Specifically, when formulating a power allocation strategy, it is necessary to quantify the power output potential of each wind turbine based on its wind speed-power curve and environmental correction factors, and then specify the power allocation strategy within the power output potential range. The wind speed-power curve of the wind turbine can be provided by the manufacturer or obtained by fitting measured data. The environmental correction factors include at least one of the following: air density, turbulence intensity, wind shear, temperature, and altitude.
[0019] For units in wind-sensitive areas, it is necessary to refresh the flow field frequently and redistribute power quickly.
[0020] In addition, security constraints are required when formulating target strategies.
[0021] Step S104: Generate control commands for the lead aircraft crew and the wingman crew based on the established target strategy; Step S105: Execute control commands for the lead aircraft group and send control commands for the wingman group to the corresponding wingman group.
[0022] In this embodiment, the multiple wind turbines in the wind farm can be divided into one lead turbine and multiple wing turbines. The lead turbine acts as the core decision-maker for coordinated control, while the wing turbines act as execution units, cooperating with the lead turbine to adjust its operating status. The selection of either type needs to be comprehensively determined based on the wind farm topology, wind resource characteristics, turbine performance, and coordination requirements. Each turbine is equipped with various sensors, including wind speed and direction sensors, vibration sensors, and power sensors, to collect real-time turbine operating status data and environmental data. It is also equipped with communication equipment to support data transmission, command interaction, and communication with external monitoring systems between turbines.
[0023] The wind farm multi-unit collaborative output enhancement method provided in this embodiment aims to provide a distributed control algorithm for multiple wind turbine units within a wind farm. By constructing a distributed control architecture of lead turbine and wingman turbines, and utilizing various sensors and communication devices configured in each unit, it achieves efficient data transmission and collaborative control. Under the premise of ensuring optimal equipment utilization and reliability, it achieves optimal power generation performance of the entire wind farm, reduces power generation costs, and improves the overall economic benefits and operational stability of the wind farm.
[0024] In some optional implementations, step S102, namely locating the wake influence area and wind direction sensitive area of the wind farm based on the first collected data, the second collected data, and / or the predicted data, includes: Step S1021: Based on the first collected data, the second collected data, and / or the predicted data, decompose the flow field features.
[0025] The first collected data, the second collected data, and / or the predicted data here mainly include hourly wind speed, hourly wind direction, and raw turbulence monitoring values.
[0026] Specifically, flow field characteristics can be analyzed from dimensions such as wind speed gradient, turbulence intensity, and wind direction frequency. Wind speed gradient refers to the rate of change of wind speed in the horizontal direction. Turbulence intensity can be calculated based on hourly wind speed data, by statistically analyzing the average wind speed and standard deviation within a specified time window (e.g., 10 minutes), using the following formula: Turbulence Intensity (TI) = Standard Deviation of Wind Speed / Average Wind Speed. Wind direction frequency can be obtained by statistically analyzing the frequency of occurrence in each wind direction interval (e.g., 16 directions, with each interval being 22.5°), reflecting the dominant wind direction and wind direction distribution characteristics.
[0027] By analyzing the wind speed characteristics, we can obtain information such as point-to-point / machine-to-machine average wind speed, wind speed spatial distribution (high and low wind speed zones), wind speed attenuation magnitude (upstream to downstream), and wind speed recovery distance.
[0028] From the decomposition of wind direction characteristics, we can obtain information such as: prevailing wind direction for each aircraft / the entire region, wind direction deflection, rate of change of wind direction, wind direction non-uniformity, and wind direction distortion. From the decomposition of turbulence characteristics, we can obtain information such as turbulence intensity, spatial distribution of turbulence, and the growth law of turbulence with the wake.
[0029] Step S1022: Based on the flow field characteristics obtained from the decomposition, draw a wind speed vector distribution map of the entire wind farm area.
[0030] Specifically, the entire wind farm can be divided into uniform grids, and then the wind speed and direction of each grid point can be obtained through spatial mapping, interpolation and other methods. Finally, the wake model can be introduced for correction, and the wind speed vector distribution map of the entire wind farm can be obtained.
[0031] Step S1023: Based on the wind speed vector distribution map, analyze the wind speed and direction distribution patterns within the wind farm, and locate the wake influence area and wind direction sensitive area.
[0032] The wake influence zone can be determined using preset criteria. For example, it can be identified as a wake influence zone if any one of the following conditions is met: 1. Areas where the wind speed decreases by ≥10%~20% relative to the free-flow wind speed; 2. A strip / fan-shaped area located downstream of the upwind fan and extending along the prevailing wind direction; 3. Multiple air blasts overlap, resulting in areas where wind speed decreases continuously and significantly; 4. Regions where turbulence intensity is significantly increased.
[0033] Wind-sensitive areas can also be identified using preset criteria. For example, an area can be designated as a wind-sensitive area if it meets any one of the following conditions: 1. At the same time, wind direction varies greatly at different locations (large spatial gradient of wind direction); 2. The wind direction frequently shifts, oscillates, and becomes unstable; 3. Due to topography / mountains / aircraft bypass, wind direction distortion, separation, and backflow occur; 4. The arrows in the vector graphics are inconsistent and have obvious deviations in some areas.
[0034] In some optional embodiments, the wind farm's turbines include at least one of the following sensors: Wind speed and direction sensor; Vibration sensor; Power sensor; Blade pitch angle sensor.
[0035] In some optional implementations, the method for enhancing the collaborative output of multiple wind turbine units in a wind farm based on the lead-wingman mode also includes: The wingman receives feedback data from the lead aircraft crew. After receiving the control command sent by the lead aircraft crew, the wingman crew executes the corresponding operation according to the command, adjusts its own operating parameters, and monitors the crew's operating status in real time. The execution results and current operating data are used as feedback data and fed back to the lead aircraft crew through the communication equipment.
[0036] In some optional implementations, the method for enhancing the collaborative output of multiple wind turbine units in a wind farm based on the lead-wingman mode also includes: The execution effect of the control command is evaluated based on the feedback data from the wingman unit, the degree of consistency between the actual adjustment values of the key actuators of the wind turbine and the command target values obtained by the monitoring platform in the main control room, and the trend of wind conditions and output changes within a preset time (e.g., 15-30 minutes) after the execution of the control command. If the execution effect deviates from the expected goal and does not meet the preset deviation threshold, the target strategy is adjusted for dynamic optimization control.
[0037] In this embodiment, after receiving control commands from the lead unit, the wingman unit executes the corresponding operations and adjusts its own operating parameters. Simultaneously, it monitors the unit's operating status in real time and feeds back the execution results and current operating data to the lead unit via communication equipment. The feedback data includes information such as the actual adjusted blade pitch angle, rotational speed, power output, and changes in equipment status. Based on the feedback data, the lead unit evaluates the effectiveness of the control commands by assessing the consistency between the actual adjustment values of the key turbine actuators obtained from the main control room monitoring platform and the command target values, and by observing the trends in wind conditions and output changes after 15-30 minutes of adjustment. If a significant deviation is found between the execution results and the expected target, the lead unit promptly adjusts the control strategy and commands, performing dynamic adjustment control.
[0038] Some optional implementations also include: Based on the monitoring data and evaluation results from the wind farm's main control room monitoring platform, a plan for the unit's operating load and maintenance is developed.
[0039] Specifically, the monitoring data from the main control room monitoring platform includes changes in wind conditions within the wind farm, changes in the operating status of each turbine, and changes in equipment health status. For example, when sudden changes in wind speed and direction, fault warning signals from turbines, or deterioration in equipment performance are detected, the data is re-analyzed, the control strategy is adjusted, and new control commands are generated to achieve dynamic and coordinated adjustment and control of the wind turbines.
[0040] In this embodiment, the main turbine unit can not only formulate a global control strategy to achieve optimal power generation performance, optimal equipment utilization, and ensure reliability across the entire wind farm, but also rationally arrange the operating load and maintenance plan of the unit based on the monitoring data and evaluation results of the wind farm's main control room monitoring platform, thereby avoiding excessive operation of some units and ensuring equipment reliability.
[0041] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention can achieve the following: 1. Improve power generation performance: By considering the wake effect and wind speed and direction distribution within the wind farm, and optimizing the coordinated operation between units, wake losses can be effectively reduced and the efficiency of wind energy resource utilization can be improved. Compared with traditional control methods, the power generation of the entire wind farm can be increased.
[0042] 2. Ensure equipment reliability: Optimize operating load and maintenance plans based on equipment health status assessment to avoid over-operation of units, reduce equipment failure risk, extend equipment service life, and reduce equipment maintenance frequency and costs.
[0043] 3. Enhanced System Flexibility and Stability: Adopting a distributed control architecture, even if some units or communication links fail, other units can continue operating under the coordination of the main unit, ensuring the wind farm's basic power generation capacity and significantly improving system stability. Simultaneously, this architecture can quickly adapt to changes in wind conditions and unit operating status, exhibiting greater flexibility and adaptability.
[0044] 4. Reduce operating costs: By optimizing power generation performance and ensuring equipment reliability, economic losses caused by insufficient power generation and equipment failure are reduced, thereby lowering the operation and maintenance costs and power generation costs of the wind farm and improving the overall economic benefits of the wind farm.
