[0002] With the escalating global energy crisis and climate change, developing sustainable new energy technologies has become crucial for addressing these challenges. Wind energy is an important clean energy source with large reserves and wide distribution, and wind power generation technology has experienced rapid development over the past century. With advancements in technology, high-altitude wind power generation technology has received increasing attention in recent years. High-altitude wind energy generally refers to wind energy resources within a range of 0.5-12 km above the ground. Wind resources within this range are more stable and abundant. It can be said that the practice and development of high-altitude wind power generation technology has opened up new avenues for modern energy production.

[0059] Furthermore, to better illustrate this disclosure, numerous specific details are set forth in the following detailed description. Those skilled in the art will understand that this disclosure can be practiced without certain specific details. In some instances, methods, means, components, and circuits well known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this disclosure.
[0060] The following section provides an exemplary description of possible application scenarios for the dynamic operation simulation method of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system in this disclosure embodiment.
[0061] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a tiered, land-based high-altitude wind power generation system according to an embodiment of this disclosure is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the umbrella-ladder type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system may include: aerial equipment, ground equipment, and control equipment (not shown in the figure);
[0062] For example, the aerial equipment may include auxiliary lift devices, balancing devices, wind-catching devices, and main cables; the aerial equipment plays a role in capturing and transmitting wind energy in a ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system. Specifically, the auxiliary lift device provides lift to the wind-catching device, enabling it to ascend to a set height; the balancing device maintains the stability of the auxiliary lift device, wind-catching device, and main cable in the air; the wind-catching device captures wind energy at high altitudes and converts it into mechanical energy, thereby driving a ground-based generator to produce electricity; there are multiple wind-catching devices arranged in a ladder-like pattern; and the main cable connects the auxiliary lift device, balancing device, wind-catching device, etc., to the ground equipment.
[0063] For example, the ground equipment may include devices such as lifting piles, universal pulley seats, winches, and generators; the ground equipment plays a role in the main cable deployment and energy conversion in the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system. The lifting piles are used to maintain the stability of the main cable and effectively convert wind power at high altitudes into mechanical energy; the universal pulley seats are used to adapt to changes in wind direction at high altitudes, ensuring that the direction of the main cable can be adjusted with changes in wind direction, thereby maximizing wind energy capture; the winch is connected to the air-based equipment via the main cable; the generator, driven by the main cable, generates electrical energy, which can be transmitted and distributed through the power transmission network.
[0064] For example, the control device can be an electronic device with data processing and signal transmission functions for controlling the operation of ground equipment and air equipment.
[0065] It should be noted that, Figure 1 The structure and number of components of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system shown are merely examples. The system may include more or fewer devices or apparatuses, and there is no limitation on this.
[0066] The actual operation of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system can be divided into an ascent process (also known as a launch or takeoff process) and a recovery process. During the ascent process, the auxiliary launch device provides initial buoyancy to the wind-catching device and balancing device. The winch rotates forward to release the main cable. After the wind-catching device is activated, it captures wind energy and drives the generator on the ground to generate electricity via the main cable. During the recovery process, the wind-catching device is deactivated, the winch reverses to retrieve the main cable, and the balancing device maintains the stability of the wind-catching device, auxiliary launch device, and main cable, ensuring the safe retrieval of the wind-catching device and auxiliary launch device to the designated height and preparing for the next power cycle. In this way, like "flying and reeling in a kite," the system achieves aerial flight and ground power generation through the up-and-down power cycle of the wind-catching device.
[0067] Compared to other high-altitude wind power technologies, the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system has the potential for high power generation and significant advantages in large-scale operation. However, the operation of this system in actual wind field environments is quite complex. On the one hand, the wind speed and direction in the natural wind profile are constantly changing, which makes the system always in a highly unsteady environment. On the other hand, the system's own working state is quite complex. For example, the opening and closing of the wind-catching device is also accompanied by the main cable being retracted and extended.
[0068] In related technologies, there is a lack of simulation schemes for the dynamic operation of umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation systems. Therefore, this disclosure provides a dynamic operation simulation method for umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation systems (detailed description below). Considering the complex structure and operation process of umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation systems and the numerous influencing factors, this dynamic operation simulation method adopts a modular simulation approach to facilitate the simulation of its dynamic operation process. It comprehensively considers the structural characteristics, operating principles, and environmental factors of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system, dividing it into a main cable module, an aerial component module, a ground module, and a wind field and environmental field module. Models are established for the characteristics of each module, and then the models of each module are integrated to dynamically simulate the ascent and retrieval processes of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system. The dynamic operation simulation method of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system can dynamically simulate the ascent and recovery processes of the system under complex wind field conditions. This helps to conduct a detailed study on the dynamic operation process and laws of the system under complex wind field conditions. Furthermore, this method can be applied to the optimization configuration of key components in the design process of the system. In addition, it can also provide support for optimizing the operation plan during the operational phase of the system.
[0069] The following provides a detailed description of the dynamic operation simulation method for the umbrella-ladder type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system provided in the embodiments of this disclosure.
[0070] Figure 2 The flowchart illustrates a dynamic operation simulation method for a ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Exemplarily, this method can be executed by a processing device with data processing capabilities, such as a computer, processor, server, etc. Figure 2 As shown, the method may include the following steps:
[0071] Step 201: Based on the structural characteristics, operating principle, and environmental factors of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system, multiple modules are determined, including: a main cable module, an aerial component module, a ground module, and a wind field and environmental field module. The main cable module includes the main cable of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system; the aerial component module includes other aerial devices of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system besides the main cable; the ground module includes the ground equipment of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system; and the wind field and environmental field module includes the external environment of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system.
[0072] Based on the above Figure 1 Taking the umbrella-ladder type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system as an example, the system structure can include ground equipment, aerial equipment, and control equipment. Among them, the ground equipment and aerial equipment are key components that capture wind energy to generate electricity. For the ground equipment, devices such as the lifting piles, universal pulley seats, winches, and generators are all deployed on the ground. These devices work together to achieve the deployment and retraction of the main cable and energy conversion. Therefore, each device in the ground equipment is considered as a module, resulting in the ground equipment module. For the aerial equipment, the auxiliary lifting device, wind-catching device, and balancing device have similar structures and principles. However, the main cable, as a key component of the umbrella-ladder type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system, differs significantly in structure and function from the auxiliary lifting device, wind-catching device, and balancing device. Therefore, the main cable is considered as a module, resulting in the main cable module, and the auxiliary lifting device, wind-catching device, and balancing device are considered as a module, resulting in the aerial component module. Meanwhile, considering that the operating scenario of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system is generally a complex wind field, and that as a wind power generation system, wind often has a significant impact on the system's operating status and power generation efficiency, and that the system's operation is affected by environmental factors such as air density, a wind field and an environmental field module are therefore defined. Thus, based on the structural characteristics, operating principle, and environmental factors of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system, four modules are identified: the main cable module, the aerial component module, the ground module, and the wind field and environmental field module. This allows for convenient modeling analysis of each module, simulating the dynamic operation process of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system.
[0073] For example, the divided modules can be flexibly configured according to design requirements and actual application conditions. For instance, the aerial component module can support the configuration of different types of auxiliary launch devices, wind-catching devices, and balancing devices. The auxiliary launch devices can be spherical or airship-shaped, the wind-catching devices can be circular or wing-shaped power parachutes, and the balancing devices can be installed sideways to the main cable or across the main cable. Similarly, the ground module can also be configured with components of different structural types. In this way, by modularizing the parachute-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system and supporting flexible configuration of components within each module, the simulation requirements of different parachute-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation systems can be met.
[0074] Step 202: Establish models for each module in the plurality of modules; wherein, the model of the main cable module includes a main cable model, the model of the aerial component module includes an auxiliary lift device sub-model, a wind-catching device sub-model, and a balancing device sub-model, the model of the ground module includes a lift pile model, a universal pulley seat model, a winch sub-model, and a generator sub-model, and the wind field and environmental field module includes an air density sub-model and a wind speed sub-model.
[0075] Step 203: Based on the models of each module, perform dynamic simulation of the ascent and recovery processes of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system.
[0076] In this step, based on the established main cable model, auxiliary lifting device sub-model, wind-catching device sub-model, balancing device sub-model, lifting pile model, universal pulley seat model, winch sub-model, generator sub-model, air density sub-model, and wind speed sub-model, the ascent and retrieval processes of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system are dynamically simulated by integrating these models. For example, these models can be integrated based on the connection relationships between the corresponding physical devices.
[0077] As an example, simulations can be used to obtain the height and force changes of each model in the aerial component module, the force changes of the main cable model in the main cable module, and the output power of the ground module, thereby providing theoretical support for engineering design and practice.
[0078] In this embodiment, based on the structural characteristics, operating principle, and environmental factors of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system, multiple modules are determined. These modules include: a main cable module, an aerial component module, a ground module, and a wind farm and environmental field module. The main cable module includes the main cable of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system. The aerial component module includes other devices in the aerial equipment of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system besides the main cable. The ground module includes the ground equipment of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system. The wind farm and environmental field module includes the umbrella ladder-type... The external environment of the land-based high-altitude wind power generation system: Models of each module are established. The main cable module model includes the main cable model; the aerial component module model includes sub-models of the auxiliary ascent device, wind-catching device, and balancing device; the ground module model includes models of the ascent pile, universal pulley seat, winch, and generator; and the wind field and environmental field module includes sub-models of air density and wind speed. Based on these models, the ascent and retrieval processes of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system are dynamically simulated. Thus, considering the structural characteristics, operating principles, and environmental factors of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system, the system is divided into main cable module, aerial component module, ground module, and wind field and environmental field module. Models are established for the characteristics of each module, and then, based on the models of different modules, dynamic simulations of the ascent and retrieval processes of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system are achieved. Meanwhile, by modularizing the operation of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system, the components and related parameters of each module can be flexibly configured according to design requirements and actual conditions, thereby meeting the simulation requirements of different umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation systems. This provides effective support for the structural design and operation control strategy design of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system, and promotes the rapid progress of umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation technology.
[0079] The following is a summary of the above. Figure 2 The simulation of the main cable module divided into sections is used as an example to illustrate the process.
[0080] Figure 3 This diagram illustrates a simulation flow chart of a main cable module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the following steps may be included:
[0081] Step 301: Construct the main cable model using the lumped mass method. The main cable model includes multiple mass points, wherein any two adjacent mass points are connected by a spring, and the force acting on any mass point includes at least the spring force and the external force.
[0082] Step 301 can be used as described above. Figure 2 One possible implementation of step 202.
[0083] The lumped mass method typically describes the interactions and motion states between particles by solving a set of differential equations. Specifically, the lumped mass method replaces the continuous structure with discrete particles, representing the corresponding properties of the original structure by describing the properties of the particle group (i.e., a mechanical system composed of many interacting particles) such as displacement and acceleration. This method can be applied to simplify the dynamic simulation of complex continuous structures.
[0084] Considering that the main cable is generally made of flexible rope, which is prone to large deformation under various external forces, the lumped mass method is used as the simulation method in this step. The main cable is discretized into several mass points, and the mass of the main cable is evenly distributed to each mass point. Adjacent mass points are connected by springs. Each mass point has physical quantities such as mass, position, velocity, and acceleration, thus forming a dynamic system. For example, the mass of each mass point in the main cable model can be determined according to the actual mass of the main cable and the number of discrete mass points.
[0085] Generally, the more discrete points the main cable is divided into, the more accurate the description of the main cable deformation will be, but the higher the computational cost will be. Therefore, factors such as the length of the main cable and computational efficiency can be considered comprehensively, and the discrete division can be performed according to requirements to determine the number of mass points in the main cable model, where the original length between any two adjacent mass points is the same.
[0086] Assuming the main cable is discretized into N mass points, and a main cable model composed of N mass points is constructed, the dynamic equation of the main cable model can be expressed by the following formula (1):
[0087]
[0088] Among them, M i This represents the mass of the i-th mass point in the main cable model; F represents the acceleration vector of the i-th mass in the main cable model; i (x1,x2,...,x N ) represents the force exerted on the i-th mass in the main cable model, including spring force, external force, etc., and N represents the number of mass points.
[0089] For example, the interaction force between any two adjacent mass points in the main cable is generated by the deformation of the spring connecting these two mass points, i.e., the spring force, which is calculated according to Hooke's law, as shown in the following formula (2):
[0090]
[0091] Among them, fi,i+1 Let represent the spring force between the i-th mass and the (i+1)-th mass in the main cable model; k represents the spring constant; r i r represents the position vector of the i-th mass point in the main cable model. i+1 represents the position vector of the (i+1)th mass in the main cable model; l represents the original length of the spring connecting the two mass points.
[0092] For example, the spring constant k can be calculated based on the Young's modulus of the main cable, which is generally provided by the cable manufacturer. Given the cross-sectional area or diameter of the main cable, the spring constant can be calculated using the following formula (3):
[0093]
[0094] Where E represents the Young's modulus of the main cable; A represents the cross-sectional area of the main cable; and l represents the original length of the spring connecting the two mass points.
[0095] Thus, the spring force on any mass point can be calculated using the above formula (2), wherein any mass point in the main cable model other than the two ends should be subject to the spring force provided by the two mass points it is connected to.
[0096] Specifically, for any mass point in the main cable model, the external force acting on that mass point can include wind resistance. For a mass point connected to an aerial component, the external force acting on that mass point can also include: the force applied by the aerial component, for example, a mass point connected to an auxiliary lift device is subjected to the force applied by the auxiliary lift device; a mass point connected to a balancing device is subjected to the force applied by the balancing device; a mass point connected to a wind-catching device is subjected to the force applied by the wind-catching device.
[0097] For example, the wind resistance experienced by any mass point in the main cable model is the sum of half of the wind resistance experienced by the upper and lower cable segments connected to that mass point. The wind resistance experienced by the upper cable segment connected to that mass point can be calculated using the following formula (4):
[0098]
[0099] Where, d i c represents the wind resistance experienced by the upper section of the cable connecting the i-th mass in the main cable model; d ρ represents the aerodynamic drag coefficient of the main cable. h(i) This indicates the average air density corresponding to the upper section of the cable; D represents the diameter of the main cable; v i The average velocity of the wind relative to the upper section of the cable can be represented by the vector difference between the average wind speed corresponding to the upper section of the cable and the average velocity of the upper section of the cable; ||v i|| indicates the magnitude of the average speed of the wind relative to the upper section of the cable.
[0100] Therefore, the resultant force F of the spring force and air resistance (i.e., wind resistance) acting on the i-th mass point in the main cable model is... i It can be expressed by the following formula (5):
[0101] F i =f i-1,i +f i,i+1 +d i-1 +d i …………………………(5)
[0102] Among them, f i-1,i f represents the spring force between the (i-1)th mass and the ith mass in the main cable model. i,i+1 d represents the spring force between the i-th mass and the (i+1)-th mass in the main cable model; i d represents half of the wind resistance experienced by the upper section of the cable connected to the i-th mass point in the main cable model. i-1 This represents half of the wind resistance experienced by the lower cable segment connected to the i-th mass point in the main cable model.
[0103] For example, for a mass point connected to an aerial component in the main cable model, the force acting on the mass point includes not only the spring force and air resistance shown in (5) above, but also the force exerted on the mass point by the aerial component.
[0104] Step 302: Based on the main cable model, perform dynamic simulation of the main cable during the ascent and retrieval processes of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system.
[0105] Step 302 above can be used as the above Figure 2 One possible implementation of step 203.
[0106] To describe the dynamic behavior of the main cable in a ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system, it is necessary to accurately solve the dynamic equations of each mass point in the main cable model. For example, the improved Verlet algorithm, namely the Velocity-Verlet algorithm, can be used to solve the dynamic equations of the main cable.
[0107] The Verlet algorithm is a numerical solution to classical mechanics equations. It solves the dynamic equations by iteratively calculating the displacement and velocity of each particle. Its core idea is to estimate the current position using the displacement and acceleration of the current time step and the displacement of the previous step.
[0108] The following formula (6) is used to represent the i-th mass R in the main cable model at time t+Δt. i position r iPerform a Taylor expansion:
[0109]
[0110] Where, r i (t+Δt) represents the position of the i-th mass point in the main cable model at time t+Δt, r i (t) represents the position of the i-th mass point in the main cable model at time t; v i (t) represents the velocity of the i-th particle in the main cable model at time t; a i (t) represents the acceleration of the i-th mass in the main cable model at time t; f (3) (t) represents the third derivative of the force acting on the i-th particle at time t; Δt represents the time step, O(Δt) 4 ) represents Δt 4 The higher-order infinitesimals.
[0111] The i-th mass R in the main cable model at time t-Δt is obtained by using the following formula (7). i position r i Perform a Taylor expansion:
[0112]
[0113] Where, r i (t-Δt) represents the position of the i-th mass in the main cable model at time t-Δt, r i (t) represents the position of the i-th mass point in the main cable model at time t; v i (t) represents the velocity of the i-th particle in the main cable model at time t; a i (t) represents the acceleration of the i-th mass in the main cable model at time t; f (3) (t) represents the third derivative of the force acting on the i-th particle at time t; Δt represents the time step, O(Δt) 4 ) represents Δt 4 (a higher-order infinitesimal).
[0114] Adding formulas (6) and (7) together, the result is shown in formula (8) below:
[0115] r i (t+Δt)=2r i (t)-r i (t-Δt)+a i (t)Δt 2 +Ο(Δt 4 )………………(8)
[0116] Where, r i(t+Δt) represents the position of the i-th mass point in the main cable model at time t+Δt, r i (t-Δt) represents the position of the i-th mass in the main cable model at time t-Δt, r i (t) represents the position of the i-th mass point in the main cable model at time t; a i (t) represents the acceleration of the i-th mass in the main cable model at time t; Δt represents the time step, O(Δt) 4 ) represents Δt 4 (a higher-order infinitesimal).
[0117] Subtracting formulas (6) and (7) from the above results in formula (9) as follows:
[0118]
[0119] Among them, v i (t) represents the velocity of the i-th mass in the main cable model at time t, r i (t+Δt) represents the position of the i-th mass point in the main cable model at time t+Δt, where r i (t-Δt) represents the position of the i-th mass in the main cable model at time t-Δt, where Δt represents the time step. ∟(Δt) 2 ) represents Δt 2 (a higher-order infinitesimal).
[0120] If we omit the higher-order minor quantities in the above formulas (6)-(9), we obtain the iterative format for calculating displacement and velocity using the classic Verlert algorithm. Since calculating the velocity of a particle at its next position requires knowledge of its previous position, a major drawback of this algorithm is that velocity calculation lags behind displacement calculation. The Velocity-Verlet algorithm, however, can update both the particle's position and velocity simultaneously, and explicitly (i.e., can be solved directly at the same time) consider the influence of acceleration on these two quantities. This ensures that the Velocity-Verlet algorithm does not lag behind displacement calculation when calculating velocity, thus improving computational accuracy.
[0121] In one possible implementation, for any particle in the main cable model, the position of that particle at time t+1 is determined by its velocity at time t, its acceleration at time t, and its position at time t. Here, time t+1 can be represented by time t+Δt, where Δt represents the time step, and its specific value can be set according to requirements.
[0122] For example, the position of the mass can be updated using the current acceleration using the Velocity-Verlet algorithm, as shown in the following formula (10):
[0123]
[0124] Where, r i (t+Δt) represents the position of the i-th mass point in the main cable model at time t+Δt, r i (t) represents the position of the i-th mass point in the main cable model at time t; v i (t) represents the velocity of the i-th particle in the main cable model at time t; a i (t) represents the acceleration of the i-th mass in the main cable model at time t; Δt represents the time step.
[0125] In one possible implementation, for any particle in the main cable model, the acceleration of that particle at time t+1 is determined by the force acting on that particle at time t+1 and the mass of that particle. Here, time t+1 can be represented by time t+Δt.
[0126] For example, the Velocity-Verlet algorithm can be used to calculate the acceleration of the mass at the new position based on the force at the new position, as shown in the following formula (11):
[0127]
[0128] Among them, a i (t+Δt) represents the acceleration of the i-th mass in the main cable model at time t+Δt; F i (t+Δt) represents the force exerted on the i-th mass in the main cable model at time t+Δt; M i This represents the mass of the i-th mass point in the main cable model.
[0129] In one possible implementation, for any mass point on the main cable model, the velocity of the mass point at time t+1 is determined by the velocity of the mass point at time t, the acceleration at time t, and the acceleration at time t+1; wherein time t+1 can be represented by time t+Δt.
[0130] For example, the velocity of a particle at a new moment can be calculated using the following equation (12):
[0131]
[0132] Among them, v i (t+Δt) represents the velocity of the i-th particle in the main cable model at time t+Δt; v i (t) represents the velocity of the i-th particle in the main cable model at time t; a i (t) represents the acceleration of the i-th mass in the main cable model at time t; a i(t+Δt) represents the acceleration of the i-th mass in the main cable model at time t+Δt; Δt represents the time step.
[0133] In this way, by calculating all the mass points in the main cable model using the above formulas (10)-(12), the dynamic equation of the entire main cable model can be solved, and the dynamic information (velocity, acceleration, position, etc.) of each mass point in the main cable model can be obtained, thereby describing the motion behavior of the main cable in the operation of the umbrella ladder type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system.
[0134] Furthermore, to simulate the ascent and retrieval processes of a ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system, it is necessary to describe the length changes caused by the release and retrieval of the main cable. In this embodiment, the main cable deployment and retrieval simulation is performed by determining the relative distance between mass points and adding or deleting mass points under appropriate conditions.
[0135] In one possible implementation, when the distance between two adjacent mass points exceeds a first threshold, mass points are added to the main cable model to simulate the release of the main cable during the ascent of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system.
[0136] During the ascent of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system, new mass points need to be added to the main cable model to simulate the effect of the main cable continuously elongating. This requires defining the critical length l′ (i.e., the first threshold) of the newly added mass points, as shown in the following formula (13):
[0137] l′=(1+k′)l………………(13)
[0138] Wherein, k′ represents the scaling parameter, which is used to measure the distance between the newly added mass point and the original mass point in the main cable model. The specific value of k′ can be set as needed. k′ can be a small value close to 0, for example, it can be 0.1 or 0.01; l represents the original length of the spring between two adjacent mass points in the main cable.
[0139] In this way, the position of each mass point in the main cable model can be calculated, and when the distance between two adjacent mass points exceeds the critical length shown in (13) above, a new mass point is added to the main cable model, which is denoted as the (n+1)th mass point.
[0140] For example, when assigning initial motion conditions to the newly added (n+1)th particle, in order to avoid causing unnecessary numerical oscillations, it can be assumed that the motion state of the newly added particle is the same as that of the previous particle, that is, it has the same motion state as the nth particle.
[0141] In one possible implementation, if the distance between two adjacent mass points is less than a second threshold, the mass points are deleted from the main cable model to simulate the retrieval of the main cable during the retrieval process of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system.
[0142] In the recovery process of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system, the effect of the main cable continuously shortening is simulated by deleting mass points in the main cable model, as shown in the following formula (14):
[0143] l″<k″l……………………(14)
[0144] Where l″ represents the distance between the (n-1)th mass point and the nth mass point in the main cable model; k″ represents the scaling parameter when deleting mass points, used to measure the length of the last cable segment; and l represents the original length of the spring between two adjacent mass points after the main cable is discretized into mass points.
[0145] In this way, the position of each mass point in the main cable model can be calculated. Using formula (14), if the distance between two adjacent mass points is less than k″l (i.e., the second threshold), the nth mass point in the main cable model is deleted.
[0146] For example, in order to keep the dynamic state of the system continuous, after deleting the nth mass in the main cable, the motion parameters of the (n-1)th mass in the main cable model are set to the motion parameters of the new n′th mass. The purpose of this is to prevent abrupt changes in the position and velocity of other masses. Generally speaking, the smaller the value of k″, the smaller the simulation error.
[0147] In this embodiment, the lumped mass method is used to construct the main cable model, which includes multiple mass points. Any two adjacent mass points are connected by springs, and the forces acting on any mass point include at least the spring force and external forces. Based on the main cable model, dynamic simulations are performed on the main cable during the ascent and retrieval processes of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system. Thus, using the lumped mass method as the simulation approach, the main cable is discretized into several mass points connected by springs. Considering wind resistance, external forces provided by aerial components, etc., the actual deformation of the main cable is simulated. As an example, by determining the relative distance between two mass points, mass points are added or removed under appropriate conditions to simulate the release and retrieval of the main cable during the ascent and retrieval processes of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system.
[0148] The following is a summary of the above. Figure 2 The simulation of the air component module divided in the middle is used as an example to illustrate the process.
[0149] Figure 4This diagram illustrates a simulation flow of an airborne component module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the following steps may be included:
[0150] Step 401: Establish sub-models for the auxiliary lift device, wind capture device, and balancing device.
[0151] Step 401 can be used as described above. Figure 2 One possible implementation of step 202.
[0152] For example, sub-models of the auxiliary lift device, wind-catching device, and balancing device can be constructed based on the lumped mass method. Taking the construction of the wind-catching device sub-model as an example, the lumped mass method can be used to describe the wind-catching device, resulting in multiple mass points. For any mass point among the multiple mass points, the corresponding mechanical unit is determined, wherein the mechanical unit is used to connect the mass point to at least one other mass point among the multiple mass points. The mechanical unit includes one or more of bending springs, shear springs, and tension springs. Based on the multiple mass points and the mechanical units corresponding to each mass point among the multiple mass points, the wind-catching device sub-model is established.
[0153] For example, the lumped mass method can be used to describe the wind-catching device in its fully open state, thereby using multiple mass points to represent the wind-catching device and realizing the Lagrange particle model of the wind-catching device; for each mass point, the corresponding mechanical unit includes bending spring, shear spring and tension spring, and the mass point is connected to other different mass points through different springs, thereby establishing a mass spring model, which is the sub-model of the wind-catching device.
[0154] Step 402: Based on the auxiliary lift device sub-model, wind capture device sub-model, and balancing device sub-model, perform dynamic simulation of the auxiliary lift device sub-model, wind capture device sub-model, and balancing device sub-model during the ascent and retrieval processes of the umbrella ladder type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system.
[0155] Step 402 above can be used as the above Figure 2 One possible implementation of step 203.
[0156] For example, airflow field models surrounding the auxiliary launch device sub-model, wind-catching device sub-model, and balancing device sub-model can be established based on the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. SPH is a meshless hydrodynamic analysis method, avoiding problems such as mesh distortion that may occur during traditional mesh model calculations. It is also unaffected by the randomness of actual particle distribution, and the free boundaries of the generated model will not exhibit numerical divergence. For instance, taking the wind-catching device sub-model as an example, the target airflow field region can be determined based on the wind-catching device sub-model, ensuring the wind-catching device sub-model is immersed within the target airflow field region. Using SPH, multiple fluid particles within the target airflow field region are determined; and an airflow field model is established based on these multiple fluid particles. The shape, range, and boundary conditions of the target airflow field can be set according to requirements, provided that the wind-catching device sub-model can be immersed in the target airflow field. Furthermore, all fluid particles in the target airflow field can be used as fluid particles in the airflow field model surrounding the wind-catching device sub-model. Each fluid particle carries part of the fluid's mass and has velocity, density, pressure, and viscosity attributes, thereby enabling the establishment of an airflow field model surrounding the wind-catching device sub-model within the target airflow field.
[0157] For example, the components of the airflow field model include multiple fluid particles; the number, density, distribution, etc. of the fluid particles included in the airflow field model can be set according to requirements and are not limited thereto.
[0158] For the sub-model of the auxiliary lift device:
[0159] The auxiliary lift-off device provides initial buoyancy for the operation of the parachute-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system by filling it with a gas less dense than air, preventing capsizing at low wind speeds. Exemplarily, the auxiliary lift-off device can be a spherical helium balloon, an airship-shaped buoy, or other types of devices, without limitation.
[0160] As an example, when the auxiliary lift device is a sphere, i.e. a spherical capsule filled with a gas less dense than air (such as helium), the forces acting on the sphere during the operation of a parachute-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system can include gravity, buoyancy, and air resistance.
[0161] In one possible implementation, the buoyancy of the auxiliary lift device sub-model is determined by the radius of the auxiliary lift device, the air density at the altitude of the auxiliary lift device, and the density of the gas filling the auxiliary lift device; wherein the auxiliary lift device is a sphere.
[0162] For example, taking a helium balloon as the auxiliary lifting device, the buoyancy of the helium balloon can be calculated using the following formula (15):
[0163]
[0164] Among them, F b This represents the buoyancy force acting on the helium balloon; r b ρh represents the radius of the helium balloon's contents. ( b ) ρ0 represents the air density at altitude h of the helium balloon; ρ0 represents the helium density; and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
[0165] In one possible implementation, the air resistance experienced by the auxiliary lift device sub-model is determined by the radius of the auxiliary lift device, the drag coefficient of the auxiliary lift device, the air density at the altitude of the auxiliary lift device, and the relative wind speed of the auxiliary lift device; wherein the auxiliary lift device is a sphere.
[0166] For example, taking a helium balloon as the auxiliary lifting device, the air resistance experienced by the helium balloon can be calculated using the following formula (16):
[0167]
[0168] Among them, F d C represents the air resistance experienced by the helium balloon. d ρ represents the drag coefficient of a helium balloon, which is determined by factors such as the balloon material; h(b) W represents the air density at altitude h of the helium balloon. h ′ (b) The velocity vector representing the wind relative to the motion of the helium balloon, also known as relative wind speed; ||W h ′ (b) || indicates the magnitude of the relative wind speed.
[0169] In one possible implementation, the force exerted by the airflow relative to the auxiliary lift device sub-model is used as the force acting on the auxiliary lift device sub-model; thus, considering the wind speed vector and the motion of the auxiliary lift device itself, the force acting on the auxiliary lift device is transformed into a force generated relative to the wind speed, as shown in the following formula (17):
[0170] W h ′ (b) =W h(b) -V b …………………………(17)
[0171] Among them, W h(b) V represents the wind speed vector. b W represents the velocity vector of the helium balloon.h ′ (b) This represents the relative wind speed, which is the vector difference between the two.
[0172] For the wind-catching device sub-model:
[0173] Wind-catching devices are typically made of flexible materials and are activated by the aerodynamic forces generated by the wind, which in turn pull a cable to convert wind energy into mechanical energy. Examples of wind-catching devices include circular power umbrellas and wing-shaped power umbrellas.
[0174] As an example, let's take a circular working umbrella as an example to introduce its force modeling method; the circular working umbrella has an opening at the top, through which the main cable passes horizontally, and small holes are opened around the perimeter to connect to and fix a thin cable to the main cable. Its effective wind-catching area can be approximated as a circle, and the wind-catching section is perpendicular to the cable.
[0175] When the umbrella-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system is in operation, the main considerations are the gravity, aerodynamic lift, and aerodynamic drag experienced by the circular working umbrella.
[0176] In one possible implementation, the force exerted by the airflow relative to the wind-catching device sub-model is used as the force acting on the wind-catching device sub-model; for example, taking a circular umbrella as the wind-catching device, the relative wind speed W of the circular umbrella... h ′ (p) You can refer to the above formula (17) for calculation.
[0177] To calculate the aerodynamic lift and drag on a circular power parachute, it is also necessary to determine the direction and angle of attack of the aerodynamic lift and drag.
[0178] First, determine the plane containing the aerodynamic lift and aerodynamic drag. The effective wind-catching surface of the circular working umbrella is perpendicular to the cable. The projection of the relative wind speed of the working umbrella onto the effective wind-catching surface can be expressed by the following formula (18):
[0179] W h " (p) =W h ′ (p) -r(r·W h ′ (p) (18)
[0180] Among them, W h " (p) W represents the projection of the relative wind speed of the power parachute onto the effective wind-catching surface, r represents the direction vector of the main cable connecting the power parachute, and W represents the direction vector of the main cable connecting the power parachute. h ′ (p) This indicates relative wind speed.
[0181] The projection and the effective wind speed vector of the circular working umbrella, as shown in (18) above, constitute a plane S, in which the aerodynamic lift and aerodynamic drag direction vectors of the circular working umbrella both lie; wherein, the direction of aerodynamic drag can be expressed by the following formula (19):
[0182]
[0183] Among them, e x W represents the direction vector of aerodynamic drag. h ′ (p) Represents relative wind speed, ||W h ′ (p) || indicates the magnitude of the relative wind speed.
[0184] Aerodynamic lift direction vector e z and the direction vector of aerodynamic drag e x To remain vertical, the following formula (20) must be satisfied:
[0185] e x ·e z =0…………………………(20)
[0186] Therefore, the perpendicular vector of the plane S containing the aerodynamic lift direction vector and the aerodynamic drag direction vector is constructed as shown in the following formula (21):
[0187]
[0188] Among them, e y W represents the perpendicular vector to the plane S containing the aerodynamic lift direction vector and the aerodynamic drag direction vector. h ′ (p) W represents relative wind speed. h " (p) This represents the projection of the relative wind speed onto the effective wind-catching surface of a circular working umbrella.
[0189] The direction of aerodynamic lift can then be expressed in the form of the following formula (22):
[0190] e z =e x ×e y …………………………(twenty two)
[0191] Among them, e x e represents the direction vector of aerodynamic drag. z e represents the aerodynamic lift direction vector. y It represents the perpendicular vector to the plane S containing the aerodynamic lift direction vector and the aerodynamic drag direction vector.
[0192] The angle of attack is the angle between the relative wind speed and the effective wind-catching surface of a circular working umbrella, which can be calculated using the following formula (23):
[0193]
[0194] Where α represents the angle of attack, r represents the direction vector of the main cable connecting the circular power parachute, and W h ′ (p) Represents relative wind speed, ||W h ′ (p) || represents the magnitude of the relative wind speed, and ||r|| represents the magnitude of the direction vector.
[0195] In one possible implementation, the aerodynamic lift force on the wind-catching device sub-model is determined by the air density at the altitude of the wind-catching device, the aerodynamic lift coefficient of the wind-catching device, the direction of the aerodynamic lift force, and the relative wind speed of the wind-catching device.
[0196] For example, the aerodynamic lift force on the working parachute can be expressed by the following formula (24):
[0197]
[0198] Among them, F L ρ represents the aerodynamic lift force on a circular working umbrella. h(p) C represents the air density at the altitude of a circular working umbrella. L (α) represents the aerodynamic lift coefficient of a circular power parachute, α represents the angle of attack, and e z ||W represents the direction vector of aerodynamic lift. h ′ (p) || represents the relative wind speed, and A represents the cross-sectional area of the circular umbrella.
[0199] In one possible implementation, the aerodynamic drag on the wind-catching device sub-model is determined by the air density at the height of the wind-catching device, the aerodynamic drag coefficient of the wind-catching device, the direction of the aerodynamic drag, and the relative wind speed of the wind-catching device.
[0200] For example, the aerodynamic drag experienced by the working umbrella can be expressed by the following formula (25):
[0201]
[0202] Among them, F D ρ represents the aerodynamic lift force on a circular working umbrella. h(p) C represents the air density at the altitude of a circular working umbrella. D (α) represents the aerodynamic drag coefficient of a circular power parachute, α represents the angle of attack, and e x ||W represents the direction vector of aerodynamic drag.h ′ (p) || represents the relative wind speed, and A represents the cross-sectional area of the circular umbrella.
[0203] The aerodynamic coefficient of a wind-catching device is generally determined by the angle of attack. For example, a rigid circular working umbrella can be calculated using a high-precision constant-flow computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical simulation method, and the aerodynamic coefficient values for different angles of attack are shown in Table 1.
[0204] Table 1. Reference values for aerodynamic coefficients of a rigid circular working umbrella with a radius of 40m.
[0205]
[0206] In practical applications, considering the difference in air permeability between rigid materials and flexible fabrics, the values in Table (1) above should be reduced accordingly. For ease of calculation, the aerodynamic coefficient and angle of attack are fitted with a function. To improve the accuracy of the simulation, for example, the lift and drag coefficients of a circular power umbrella can be experimentally determined, and the experimental data can be interpolated to obtain a more accurate fitting function.
[0207] For the sub-model of the balancing device:
[0208] The balancing device is an aerial component with a structure similar to the wind-catching device. In the operation of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system, the main function of the balancing device is to maintain system stability and assist in system recovery. The modeling of the balancing device mainly involves its installation method. The first method is the same as the installation method of the wind-catching device. In this case, the balancing device is considered to be a small wind-catching device, and its force modeling method is the same as that of the wind-catching device. In one possible implementation, the force of the air flow relative to the balancing device sub-model is used as the force on the balancing device sub-model. Its calculation can refer to the above formula (17). The second method is to hang the balancing device on the main cable by a cable. During operation, it is assumed that its axis is on the same straight line as the relative wind speed. In this case, the angle of attack of the balancing device is always 90° and it is only subject to aerodynamic drag. The calculation of aerodynamic drag can refer to the above formula (25).
[0209] In one possible implementation, the aerodynamic drag on the balancing device sub-model is determined by the air density at the altitude of the balancing device, the aerodynamic drag coefficient of the balancing device, the direction of the aerodynamic drag, and the relative wind speed of the balancing device. For example, the aerodynamic drag can be calculated using the above formula (25).
[0210] In one possible implementation, a flexible umbrella dynamic fluid-structure interaction simulation method can be used to simulate the dynamic opening and closing process of the wind-catching device sub-model. This method can be implemented using existing techniques. For example, a lumped mass method is used to model the flexible working umbrella, and smoothed particle fluid dynamics is used to simulate the incoming flow. The force curve of the flexible working umbrella over time is calculated and normalized using the force at stable opening, thereby simulating the dynamic opening and closing process of the wind-catching device.
[0211] In this embodiment, sub-models of the auxiliary lift device, wind-catching device, and balancing device are established. Based on these sub-models, dynamic simulations are performed on the lift and recovery processes of the umbrella-ladder type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system. Thus, a simulation module considering flight attitude and dynamic opening and closing of the aerial components performs modeling analysis on the auxiliary lift device, wind-catching device, and balancing device. As an example, considering wind speed and the motion of the aerial components themselves, the forces acting on the aerial components are converted into the forces exerted by the airflow relative to the aerial components; exemplaryly, these forces include drag along the direction of the incoming flow and lateral forces perpendicular to the direction of the incoming flow. As another example, CFD numerical simulation is used to simulate the aerodynamic lift and drag coefficients as a function of angle of attack. If measured data is available, measured interpolation can also be considered to further improve accuracy.
[0212] The following is a summary of the above. Figure 2 The simulation of the ground module divided in the middle is used as an example to illustrate the process.
[0213] The ground equipment of a ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system mainly consists of lifting piles, universal pulley seats, winches, and generators, and is crucial for energy transmission and conversion. During system operation, energy loss occurs due to mechanical transmission and rope friction. This disclosure proposes a multi-level transient loss superposition method to model the ground equipment. Here, transient refers to the brief process of the system changing from one stable state to another. During this process, the generator typically experiences changes in speed, resulting in energy loss. Moreover, this loss is generated by the superposition of various levels of devices within the ground equipment.
[0214] Figure 5 This diagram illustrates a simulation flow chart of a ground module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the following steps may be included:
[0215] Step 501: Establish the model of the lifting pile, the model of the universal pulley seat, the model of the winch, and the model of the generator.
[0216] Step 501 can be used as described above. Figure 2 One possible implementation of step 202.
[0217] For example, the type, size, structure and other parameters of the aerial pile, universal pulley seat, winch and generator can be determined according to actual needs, so as to establish the aerial pile model, universal pulley seat model, winch sub-model and generator sub-model accordingly.
[0218] Step 502: Based on the lifting pile model, the universal pulley seat model, the winch sub-model, and the generator sub-model, perform dynamic simulation of energy transfer and loss during the ascent and recovery processes of the umbrella ladder type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system.
[0219] Step 502 above can be used as the above Figure 2 One possible implementation of step 203.
[0220] In one possible implementation, the loss coefficients corresponding to the lifting pile model, the universal pulley seat model, the winch sub-model, and the generator sub-model are calculated respectively; based on the loss coefficients corresponding to the lifting pile model, the universal pulley seat model, the winch model, and the generator sub-model, the corresponding energy loss is determined; based on the energy loss corresponding to the lifting pile model, the universal pulley seat model, the winch model, and the generator sub-model, the output power of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system is calculated.
[0221] For example, the energy loss coefficient of each device at different rope speeds of the main cable can be measured by experimental methods, thereby establishing a loss coefficient matrix under different operating conditions, calculating the cable tension that drives the generator to generate electricity, and finally calculating the output power of the umbrella ladder type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system.
[0222] For example, the generator speed-output power curve can be obtained by fitting.
[0223] In this embodiment, models of the lifting pile, the universal pulley base, the winch, and the generator are established. Based on these models, dynamic simulations are performed to analyze the energy transfer and loss during the ascent and recovery processes of the umbrella-ladder type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system. As an example, the energy transfer and loss effects in ground equipment such as the lifting pile, universal pulley base, winch, and generator are simulated using a multi-level transient loss superposition method. Exemplarily, a loss coefficient matrix can be established based on the structural characteristics of each level of ground equipment, and the generator's speed-power curve can ultimately be provided.
[0224] The following is a summary of the above. Figure 2 The simulation of the wind field and environmental field modules divided in the diagram is illustrated by example.
[0225] Figure 6 This diagram illustrates a simulation flow of a wind field and environmental field module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown below. Figure 6 As shown, the following steps may be included:
[0226] Step 601: Establish wind speed sub-model and air density sub-model.
[0227] Step 601 can be used as described above. Figure 2 One possible implementation of step 202.
[0228] In one possible implementation, the wind speed sub-model is established by fitting a function to the relationship between wind speed and altitude;
[0229] In reality, wind speed changes with altitude, forming a wind speed gradient. In practical applications, power functions, logarithmic functions, or exponential functions can be used to establish a wind profile (i.e., a curve showing wind speed changing with altitude) fitting function for wind speed W and altitude h. Furthermore, interpolation based on field measurements can improve the fit of the theoretical function, thereby calculating the corresponding wind speed W based on the altitude of each component in the system. (h) As shown in equation (26):
[0230] W (h) =W(h)……………………(26)
[0231] Among them, W (h) Let h represent the wind speed at height h, and W(h) represent the fitted wind profile function.
[0232] In one possible implementation, the air density sub-model is established by fitting a function to the correspondence between air density and altitude.
[0233] In reality, air density typically changes with altitude. Air density is a key parameter for calculating aerodynamic forces. To improve the accuracy of simulations, an air density ρ is established based on the international standard atmospheric model. h The fitting function is the same as the height h. Furthermore, it can be interpolated based on actual measurements to improve the fit of the theoretical function, thereby calculating the corresponding air density according to the height of each component of the system, as shown in equation (27):
[0234] ρ (h) =ρ(h)……………………(27)
[0235] Where, ρ(h) Let ρ(h) represent the air density at height h, and let ρ(h) represent the air density sub-model function.
[0236] Step 602: Simulate the external environment of the umbrella ladder-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system during its ascent and retrieval processes using the wind speed sub-model and the air density sub-model.
[0237] Step 602 can be used as described above. Figure 2 One possible implementation of step 203.
[0238] In this embodiment, a wind speed sub-model and an air density sub-model are established. These sub-models are used to simulate the external environment of the parachute-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system during its ascent and descent. This is because the height of each device in the aerial components continuously changes during the operation of the parachute-type land-based high-altitude wind power generation system; therefore, wind speed and air density sub-models are established to account for the characteristics of air density (also known as atmospheric density) and wind speed varying with altitude. As an example, interpolation can be considered when measured data is available to further improve the fit of the theoretical functions of air density and wind speed varying with altitude.

Then, using the lumped mass method, the main cable is discretized to determine the resultant force on each mass point in the main cable model, simulating the release and retrieval of the main cable. Next, the forces acting on the aerial devices are modeled, adding the forces acting on the aerial devices to the main cable model. Finally, the dynamic equations of the main cable model are solved to describe the system's motion behavior, calculating the changes in the main cable force and the system's output power. Figure 9 The specific implementation process of each step can be referred to the above. Figure 2 The relevant statements in the text will not be repeated here.
