Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wind power generation technology, specifically relating to a method, system and related devices for reverse reconstruction of an approximate aeroelastic model of an in-service wind turbine. Background Technology

[0002] A wind turbine aeroelastic model is a core tool for calculating turbine loads, assessing fatigue life, analyzing dynamic characteristics, verifying control strategies, and predicting power generation performance. A high-fidelity aeroelastic model can accurately simulate the aerodynamic-servo-elastic coupling response of a wind turbine under complex wind conditions, serving as the cornerstone for design certification, safety assessment, and optimized operation.

[0003] However, for operational wind turbines, their complete and certified aeroelastic models are typically kept as core technical secrets by the turbine manufacturers and are generally not disclosed to wind farm owners, operators, or third-party technical service providers. This results in a lack of effective digital simulation tools for relevant entities when conducting in-depth turbine inspections, remaining life assessments, site-specific adaptability analyses, feasibility studies for technological upgrades (such as lengthening blades and upgrading towers), and accident inversion analyses. They often have to rely on empirical formulas or simplified models, leading to insufficient accuracy in the analysis results and potentially causing technical risks or misjudgments of economic viability.

[0004] Currently, attempts to reverse engineer in-service units in the industry mostly rely on limited publicly available technical parameters and operational data (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition, SCADA). The methods are fragmented and have significant limitations: First, key structural dynamic characteristics (such as higher-order modes of blades and towers) and detailed aerodynamic, mass, and stiffness distribution data are lacking; second, there is a lack of systematic multi-source data fusion and model calibration processes, resulting in low accuracy and poor reliability of the reconstructed models, making them difficult to apply to load and life assessment scenarios with strict accuracy requirements.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a systematic, practical, and relatively accurate method that can reverse engineer an approximate whole-machine aeroelastic model for engineering analysis of in-service wind turbines without requiring the original manufacturer's confidential model. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method, system and related apparatus for reverse reconstruction of an approximate aeroelastic model of an in-service wind turbine, which solves the above-mentioned shortcomings in the construction of existing approximate aeroelastic models of in-service wind turbines.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for reverse reconstruction of an approximate aeroelastic model of an in-service wind turbine generator, comprising the following steps: Select a gaseous simulation model from the known gaseous simulation model library that is equal to or close to the rated power and rotor diameter of the in-service wind turbine to be tested, and use it as the preset basic model for the in-service wind turbine to be tested. The acquired technical parameters, blade geometry, airfoil aerodynamic parameters, and tower parameter distribution information of the wind turbine under test are updated into the preset basic model to obtain the updated basic model. Based on the blade geometry information of the in-service wind turbine under test, the blade mass and stiffness distribution in the updated basic model are compared and calibrated until the accuracy requirements are met, thus obtaining the calibrated basic model. Based on the design power curve and design thrust curve of the in-service wind turbine under test, the calibrated basic model is compared and calibrated until the accuracy requirements are met, so as to obtain the approximate aeroelastic model of the whole machine corresponding to the in-service wind turbine under test.

[0008] Preferably, the blade mass and stiffness distribution in the updated basic model are compared and calibrated based on the blade geometry information of the in-service wind turbine to be tested until the accuracy requirements are met, thus obtaining the calibrated basic model.

S3, Calculate the flapping natural frequency and oscillation natural frequency of the blade in the preliminary basic model after calibration; S4, compare the swing natural frequency and the oscillation natural frequency with the corresponding measured swing natural frequency and measured oscillation natural frequency, respectively, where: If the error between the measured swing natural frequency and the swing natural frequency or the measured oscillation natural frequency and the oscillation natural frequency is greater than the set threshold, then return to S2; Otherwise, complete the calibration of the blades in the updated base model to obtain the calibrated base model.

[0009] Preferably, the blades of the in-service wind turbine under test are subjected to modal testing using the exciter hammering method or the environmental vibration method to obtain the measured flapping natural frequency and the measured oscillation natural frequency of the blades.

[0010] Preferably, the measured natural waving frequencies include the first-order natural waving frequency and the second-order natural waving frequency; The measured natural frequencies of the oscillation include the first-order natural frequency and the second-order natural frequency.

[0011] Preferably, the calibrated basic model is compared and calibrated according to the design power curve and design thrust curve of the wind turbine under test until the accuracy requirements are met, thus obtaining the approximate aeroelastic model of the entire wind turbine under test. The specific method is as follows: Under standard wind conditions, calculate the static power curve and thrust curve corresponding to the calibrated basic model; The design power curve and design thrust curve are compared with the static power curve and thrust curve, where: If, at the same wind speed, the error between the static power value or thrust value and the corresponding design value is greater than the preset difference value, then the parameters affecting power and thrust in the calibrated basic model are calibrated and returned to S1. Otherwise, an approximate aeroelastic model of the entire in-service wind turbine unit to be tested is obtained.

[0012] Secondly, the present invention provides a reverse reconstruction system for an approximate aeroelastic model of an in-service wind turbine generator, comprising: The model selection unit is used to select an aeroelastic simulation model from the known aeroelastic simulation model library that is equal to or close to the rated power and rotor diameter of the wind turbine unit under test, and use it as the preset basic model corresponding to the wind turbine unit under test. The model update unit is used to update the acquired technical parameters, blade geometry information, airfoil aerodynamic parameters and tower parameter distribution information of the wind turbine under test to the preset basic model, so as to obtain the updated basic model. The model calibration unit is used to compare and calibrate the blade mass and stiffness distribution in the updated basic model based on the blade geometry information of the wind turbine under test until the accuracy requirements are met, thus obtaining the calibrated basic model. Meanwhile, the calibrated basic model is compared and calibrated according to the design power curve and design thrust curve of the wind turbine under test until the accuracy requirements are met, so as to obtain the approximate aeroelastic model of the whole wind turbine under test.

[0013] Thirdly, the present invention provides an electronic device including a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores computer instructions, and when the computer instructions are executed by the processor, the electronic device performs the reverse reconstruction method of an approximate aeroelastic model of an in-service wind turbine.

[0014] Fourthly, the present invention provides a computing device cluster, comprising at least one computing device, each computing device including a processor and a memory; The processor of the at least one computing device is used to execute instructions stored in the memory of the at least one computing device, so that the cluster of computing devices executes the reverse reconstruction method of an approximate aeroelastic model of an in-service wind turbine.

[0015] Fifthly, the present invention provides a computer program product containing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed, implement the reverse reconstruction method for an approximate aeroelastic model of an in-service wind turbine unit.

[0016] Sixthly, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by a processor, implement the reverse reconstruction method for an approximate aeroelastic model of an in-service wind turbine generator.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are: This invention provides a reverse reconstruction method for an approximate aeroelastic model of an in-service wind turbine. By selecting a pre-set base model that matches the macroscopic parameters of the target turbine, a reliable initial framework is provided for reverse reconstruction, effectively avoiding the complexity and uncertainty of modeling from scratch. Then, by importing the actual technical parameters of the turbine, blade geometry, airfoil aerodynamic parameters, and tower parameter distribution information obtained from field testing and simulation analysis, key data updates are performed on the pre-set base model, laying the data foundation for model fidelity. Next, using the actual dynamic characteristics of the blades obtained from field modal testing as a benchmark, the blade mass and stiffness distribution in the model are iteratively calibrated to ensure the accuracy of the model at the structural dynamics level. Finally, using the official design power and thrust curves of the turbine as the final benchmark, the parameters affecting aerodynamic performance and control logic in the model are calibrated overall, thereby ensuring a high degree of consistency between the model and the actual turbine in terms of overall aerodynamic response and energy capture characteristics. Through this system's reverse reconstruction process based on dual calibration and verification, a high-fidelity approximate aeroelastic model of the entire unit can be constructed without requiring original factory confidential data. This provides an independent, reliable, and practical digital simulation tool for load analysis, life assessment, technical modification verification, and operation optimization of in-service units.

[0025] Example 1 This embodiment provides a method for reverse reconstruction of an approximate aeroelastic model of an in-service wind turbine, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Select an aeroelastic simulation model from the known aeroelastic simulation model library that is equal to or close to the rated power and rotor diameter of the wind turbine to be tested in service, and use it as the preset basic model corresponding to the wind turbine to be tested in service. Step 2: Update the obtained technical parameters, blade geometry information, airfoil aerodynamic parameters, and tower parameter distribution information of the wind turbine under test to the preset basic model to obtain the updated basic model; Step 3: Based on the blade geometry information of the in-service wind turbine to be tested, compare and calibrate the blade mass and stiffness distribution in the updated basic model until the accuracy requirements are met, and obtain the calibrated basic model. Step 4: Based on the design power curve and design thrust curve of the wind turbine under test, the calibrated basic model is compared and calibrated until the accuracy requirements are met, so as to obtain the approximate aeroelastic model of the whole wind turbine under test.

[0026] This method can effectively solve the industry pain point that operators and third-party assessment agencies cannot conduct in-depth analysis of load, life, performance and other aspects due to the inability to obtain the original factory model, and provides a reliable digital analysis foundation for the refined management, safety assessment, efficiency improvement and life extension of in-service wind turbine units.

[0027] Example 2 Based on Example 1, this example provides a reverse reconstruction method for an approximate aeroelastic model of an in-service wind turbine. The method involves comparing and calibrating the blade mass and stiffness distribution in the updated basic model according to the blade geometry information of the in-service wind turbine under test until the accuracy requirements are met, thus obtaining the calibrated basic model. The specific method is as follows: S1, Perform modal testing on the blades of the in-service wind turbine under test to obtain the measured flapping natural frequency and the measured shimmy natural frequency of the blades; S2, based on the blade geometry information of the wind turbine unit under test, the blade mass and stiffness distribution in the updated basic model are calibrated to obtain the calibrated preliminary basic model. S3, Calculate the flapping natural frequency and oscillation natural frequency of the blade in the preliminary basic model after calibration; S4, compare the swing natural frequency and the oscillation natural frequency with the corresponding measured swing natural frequency and measured oscillation natural frequency, respectively, where: If the error between the measured swing natural frequency and the swing natural frequency or the measured oscillation natural frequency and the oscillation natural frequency is greater than the set threshold, then return to S2; Otherwise, complete the calibration of the blades in the updated base model to obtain the calibrated base model.

[0028] Example 3 Based on Example 1, this example provides a reverse reconstruction method for an approximate aeroelastic model of an in-service wind turbine. The method involves comparing and calibrating the calibrated base model with the design power curve and design thrust curve corresponding to the in-service wind turbine under test until the accuracy requirements are met, thus obtaining the approximate aeroelastic model of the in-service wind turbine under test. The specific method is as follows: S1, under standard wind conditions, calculate the static power curve and thrust curve corresponding to the calibrated basic model; S2, compare the design power curve and design thrust curve with the static power curve and thrust curve, where: If, at the same wind speed, the error between the static power value or thrust value and the corresponding design value is greater than the preset difference value, then the parameters affecting power and thrust in the calibrated basic model are calibrated and returned to S1. Otherwise, an approximate aeroelastic model of the entire in-service wind turbine unit to be tested is obtained.

[0029] Example 4 like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the reverse reconstruction method of the approximate aeroelastic model of an in-service wind turbine provided in this embodiment specifically includes the following steps: Step 1: Collect documents such as purchase contracts, technical agreements or specifications, type certification certificates, and component drawings of the wind turbines to be tested, and obtain the technical parameters, design power curves, and design thrust curves of the wind turbines to be tested.

[0030] In this embodiment, the acquired wind turbine technical parameters typically include, but are not limited to: turbine class, rated power, rated wind speed, speed range, rated speed, rotor diameter, hub center height, hub diameter, generator and hub weight, nacelle dimensions and weight, tower weight, operating wind speed range, design life, annual average wind speed at hub center height, reference wind speed, average inflow tilt angle, 50-year return period extreme wind speed at hub center height, air density, blade type and length, blade weight, blade cone angle, tilt angle, hub material and drawings, pitch system type, main shaft material and drawings, gearbox transmission ratio, tower material and drawings, etc.

[0031] Step 2: Perform modal testing on the blades of the in-service wind turbine to be tested, and obtain the measured flapping natural frequency and the measured shimmy natural frequency of the blades, where: The measured natural frequencies of the wave include the first-order natural frequency of the wave and the second-order natural frequency of the wave; The measured natural frequencies of the oscillation include the first-order natural frequency and the second-order natural frequency.

[0032] In this embodiment, the blade is subjected to modal testing using either the exciter hammering method or the environmental vibration-based method.

[0033] Step 3: Use a high-precision 3D laser scanner to scan the shape data of each blade of the in-service wind turbine under test when it is stationary. All blade profile data are aligned and averaged to eliminate the influence of manufacturing tolerances and installation errors, and key geometric information at different spanwise positions of the blade is obtained. The key geometric information includes airfoil profile, chord length, pre-bending distance, thickness, torsion angle, and main beam cap position.

[0034] Step 4: Use computational fluid dynamics software to perform two-dimensional turbulence simulations on the airfoils at different spanwise positions obtained in Step 3. Set up a range covering the expected angle of attack and the design Reynolds number, solve the Navier-Stokes equations, and calculate complete aerodynamic parameters for each airfoil at different angles of attack, such as surface pressure coefficient distribution, lift coefficient, drag coefficient, and pitching moment coefficient, to form a blade airfoil aerodynamic parameter library.

[0035] In this embodiment, the computational fluid dynamics software is ANSYS Fluent.

[0036] The expected angle of attack range for coverage is set to -180° to 180°.

[0037] Step 5: Using structural finite element analysis software, and combining the detailed tower drawings and material properties obtained in Step 1, establish the finite element model of the tower.

[0038] The obtained finite element model is analyzed and calculated to extract the tower parameter distribution information, which includes the equivalent diameter of the tower along the height direction, the mass per unit length, the bending stiffness EI, and the axial stiffness EA.

[0039] In this embodiment, the structural finite element analysis software is SAP2000.

[0040] Step 6: Select a general-purpose wind turbine aeroelastic simulation software and choose a preset basic model from the software model library that corresponds to the wind turbine with a rated power and rotor diameter that are equal to or close to the wind turbine being tested in service.

[0041] The technical parameters obtained in step 1, the blade geometry information obtained in step 3, the airfoil aerodynamic parameter library obtained in step 4, and the tower parameter distribution information obtained in step 5 are updated one by one into the preset basic model, replacing their original parameters, to obtain the updated basic model.

[0042] Step 7: Based on the common sense of blade design and the blade length, shape and weight information in Step 1 and Step 3, make preliminary modifications to the default or incompletely defined blade mass and stiffness distribution in the updated basic model to obtain the calibrated preliminary basic model. The flapping natural frequency and teeter natural frequency of the blades in the preliminary basic model after calibration are calculated, where: The flapping natural frequencies include the first-order flapping natural frequency and the second-order flapping natural frequency of the blade; The natural frequencies of the oscillation include the first-order natural frequency of the blade and the second-order natural frequency of the blade oscillation.

[0043] In this embodiment, the basic principles of blade design are the variation of mass distribution along the span and the relationship between stiffness and geometry.

[0044] Step 8: Compare the blade natural frequencies calculated in Step 7 with the measured natural frequencies obtained in Step 2, where: If the relative error between the blade's natural frequency and the measured natural frequency is less than 1%, then the blade calibration in the updated basic model is completed, the calibrated basic model is obtained, and the process proceeds to step 9. Otherwise, return to step 7 and adjust the mass or stiffness distribution parameters of the blades accordingly based on the direction of the error.

[0045] Step 9: Under standard wind conditions in the aeroelastic software, calculate the static power curve and thrust curve corresponding to the calibrated basic model.

[0046] In this embodiment, the quasi-wind condition is the IEC standard wind condition.

[0047] Step 10: Compare the design power curve and design thrust curve with the static power curve and thrust curve, wherein: If, at the same wind speed, the difference between the static power or thrust value and the corresponding design value is greater than or equal to the preset difference value, it indicates that the model still needs adjustment in terms of overall aerodynamic performance or control logic. At this point, keeping the tower, calibrated blades, and main geometric parameters unchanged, fine-tune other parameters in the aeroelastic model that may affect power and thrust, and return to step 9; Otherwise, an approximate aeroelastic model of the entire in-service wind turbine unit to be tested is obtained.

[0048] In this embodiment, one or more of the following are finely adjusted: generator efficiency curve, transmission system loss curve, air density correction coefficient, pitch angle control parameter and air density correction coefficient, to reduce the impact on power and thrust.

[0049] In this embodiment, the difference value is 5%.

[0050] Step 11: The approximate aeroelastic model of the entire wind turbine unit under test is reconstructed.

[0051] Step 12: The constructed approximate aeroelastic model of the in-service wind turbine can be used to carry out a series of subsequent high-value work, including but not limited to: Remaining life assessment: Input the actual wind spectrum of the site to perform fatigue load simulation and damage calculation.

The model calibration unit is used to compare and calibrate the blade mass and stiffness distribution in the updated basic model based on the blade geometry information of the wind turbine under test until the accuracy requirements are met, thus obtaining the calibrated basic model. Meanwhile, the calibrated basic model is compared and calibrated according to the design power curve and design thrust curve of the wind turbine under test until the accuracy requirements are met, so as to obtain the approximate aeroelastic model of the whole wind turbine under test.
