Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wind resource assessment technology, specifically a method for predicting wind farm power generation that considers the correlation between turbine location and wind speed and wind turbine failure. Background Technology
[0002] Wind energy, as a clean energy source with abundant reserves, wide distribution, and a high degree of commercialization, has become a core direction of global energy transition. Wind farms are the main form of large-scale wind energy utilization, and the accuracy of their power generation forecasts is crucial for farm planning, grid dispatching, operation management, electricity market trading, and investment risk assessment. The strong randomness and intermittency of wind speed, as well as the time-varying nature of wind turbine operating conditions, result in significant uncertainties in wind farm output. Therefore, developing methods to quantify uncertainties in future power generation calculations is of great significance for ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power system and improving the economic benefits of wind power.
[0003] Currently, wind farm future power generation forecasts can be categorized into ultra-short-term, short-term, medium-term, and long-term forecasts based on time scale. Long-term forecasts, especially the assessment of future annual power generation, primarily serve strategic decisions such as wind farm investment planning, annual electricity trading, and the formulation of long-term maintenance plans. Due to the long time span, the uncertainties involved are more complex, and probabilistic methods based on Monte Carlo simulations are typically used for assessment.
[0004] Existing technologies have made some progress in the long-term power generation probability assessment of wind farms, mainly focusing on uncertainty modeling and propagation in the following aspects: (1) Wind resource assessment: This includes using the Measurement-Correlation-Prediction (MCP) method combined with long-term reference data to extrapolate the long-term wind speed sequence of the wind tower, performing vertical extrapolation based on the wind shear index, and performing horizontal spatial extrapolation using wind flow models. This type of research aims to quantify the uncertainty of wind resources in time and space distribution.
[0005] (2) Wake effect calculation: The wake models of Jensen and Gauss are used to calculate the mutual influence between wind turbines and to analyze the uncertainty brought about by the model parameters. Some studies have integrated the wake model and its uncertainty into the Monte Carlo simulation framework to evaluate the uncertainty of the overall wind farm and the power generation of individual turbines.
[0006] (2) Wind turbine failure handling: Current research and practice mainly address the impact of wind turbine failures on power generation through two methods: Deterministic reduction based on historical statistics: This method involves statistically analyzing a large amount of wind turbine operating data to summarize fault patterns, or directly using a comprehensive empirical reduction factor in engineering calculations to approximate the power loss due to faults. However, this approach treats faults as a fixed, averaged loss, failing to reflect their random occurrence.
[0007] Fault estimation for short-term operations: In short-term profit forecasting or operations management, planned and unplanned downtime for a specific future period is estimated by calling historical maintenance logs. Although this method involves faults, it is essentially a deterministic estimation based on historical data and is not coupled with wind farm physical models (such as wake).
[0008] However, existing technologies have obvious limitations and gaps, as follows.
[0009] First, there is a lack of probabilistic modeling of wind turbine failures and their systematic integration in long-term power generation assessment. Current mainstream methods either use fixed reduction rates or perform deterministic estimations, neither of which can characterize the core stochastic characteristics of the random occurrence of failures—the timing, frequency, and duration—making it difficult to accurately assess the uncertainty in power generation introduced by failures.
[0010] Secondly, the dynamic coupling effect between wind turbine failure and wake effect is seriously neglected. In actual wind farms, the failure and shutdown of a wind turbine not only results in zero power generation for the turbine itself, but also alters the flow field structure in its downstream region. If the failed turbine was originally located upstream, its downstream turbines will no longer be affected by its wake, wind speed may recover, and power generation will increase accordingly. This "failure-wake" coupling effect has not been considered in existing power generation assessment methods. Existing wake models only apply to the state where all wind turbines are operating normally and do not include a dynamic correction mechanism for the wake field caused by a wind turbine randomly shutting down.
[0011] Finally, existing research has focused on the independent analysis of a single or a few sources of uncertainty (e.g., analyzing wind speed extrapolation uncertainty or wake model uncertainty separately), rather than establishing a unified comprehensive evaluation framework that can simultaneously handle the spatiotemporal uncertainty of wind resources, the uncertainty of random failures of wind turbines, and the complex coupling effects between the two. Summary of the Invention
[0012] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a wind farm power generation prediction method that considers the correlation between turbine location and wind speed and turbine failure. By establishing a Poisson stochastic model of turbine failure and dynamically correcting the wake effect downstream of the failed turbine in Monte Carlo simulation, the method can more realistically and comprehensively reflect the combined effect of equipment reliability and flow field interaction, and finally obtain a more accurate probability distribution and uncertainty assessment result of the wind farm's future annual power generation.
[0013] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A method for predicting wind farm power generation that considers the correlation between turbine location and wind speed, as well as turbine failure, includes the following steps: Step 1: Obtain the long-term reference wind speed time history U and the short-term measured wind speed time history V at the anemometer tower.

Summing these values yields the predicted annual power generation (AEP) of the wind farm. Step 8: Repeat steps 1 to 7 multiple times to obtain the statistical distribution and uncertainty of the future AEP prediction value of the wind farm.
[0014] Furthermore, in step one, the long-term wind speed time history at the anemometer tower location... for: in: The long-term wind speed time history is represented at the location of the wind tower; U represents the long-term wind speed time history at the reference location. and These are the linear regression coefficients and the intercept, calculated using the following formula: in: and These are the standard deviations of the short-term wind speed time histories at the same height of the meteorological tower and the reference location, respectively, within the corresponding time period; and These are the average short-term wind speed time histories at the wind measurement tower location and the reference location, respectively.
[0015] Furthermore, in step two, the wind speed time history at the wind measurement tower for the next year is simulated and generated. The method steps are as follows: 21) Regarding the long-term wind speed time history The time series data of shape parameter k and scale parameter c are obtained by segmenting the data by year and fitting a Weibull distribution year by year. 22) Using the time-series historical data of k and c as the training set, train the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network model and predict the parameter values for the next year. and ; 23) According to and The defined Weibull distribution is used to simulate and generate wind speed time histories for the next year using the Monte Carlo method. .

[0018] Furthermore, in step four, the method for simulating and generating the initial wind speed time history of each wind turbine using the Copula function is as follows: 41) Through future wind speed time history and its probability distribution The correlation coefficient matrix was calculated using historical wind speed data from the wind turbine's SCADA system. ; 42) Generate a vector with a mean vector of 0 and a covariance matrix of...

Wind speed probability distribution at hub height The inverse cumulative distribution function; 45) Repeat steps 42) to 44) to generate multiple sets of simulated values over the next year, thus constructing the initial wind speed time history for each wind turbine location. .
[0019] Furthermore, in step five, the wake model adopts a Gaussian wake model, and the downstream wind turbine's wind speed loss rate... Calculated by the following formula: When considering the combined effect of multiple upstream wind turbines, the wind speed of the downstream wind turbines. Perform the superposition of squares using the following formula: in: This indicates the horizontal distance between the downstream and upstream wind turbines; This represents the position coordinates of the wind turbine in the xz plane; This refers to the wind speed at the height of the upstream wind turbine hub. ; The diameter of the wind turbine; Wake width; The radial distance from the downstream fan location to the centerline of the upstream fan wake; , , ; Indicates environmental turbulence; This represents the thrust coefficient of the upstream wind turbine.

If so, calculate the time period. When wind turbine i is removed from its upstream wind turbine set, the wake loss caused by wind turbine i to wind turbine j is no longer considered.
[0022] Furthermore, in step seven, the predicted annual power generation value of wind turbine i... for: in: The wind speed in the j-th hour The corresponding power, It is a standardized air density obtained based on a uniform distribution.
[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention provides a wind farm power generation prediction method that considers the correlation between turbine location and wind speed and wind turbine failure. By integrating the probabilistic stochastic simulation of wind turbine failure with the dynamic coupling mechanism of wake effect into the long-term power generation Monte Carlo evaluation framework, the following technical effects are achieved.
[0024] First, it significantly improves the accuracy and physical realism of long-term power generation forecasts. Traditional methods use a fixed reduction rate to handle faults, while this invention simulates the random occurrence time, frequency, and maintenance duration of faults based on Poisson distribution, more accurately characterizing the uncertainty of equipment reliability. More importantly, the model dynamically eliminates the wake effect of upstream faulty wind turbines on downstream areas during simulation, reflecting the key physical process of "fault-flow field" interaction in long-term assessments, making the prediction model closer to actual operating scenarios.
[0025] Secondly, it achieves a more comprehensive and refined quantification of the uncertainty of power generation. The method of this invention simultaneously propagates the spatiotemporal uncertainty of wind resources, the uncertainty of random equipment failures, and the coupling effect between the two. The resulting probability distribution of annual power generation not only has a more reliable mean, but its distribution pattern (such as standard deviation and confidence interval) can also more realistically reflect the additional risks caused by random wind turbine outages, providing a deeper assessment dimension.
[0026] Finally, the decision-support value of the assessment results is greatly enhanced. More accurate probabilistic assessment results can directly serve the formulation of differentiated operation and maintenance strategies for wind farms, the optimization of preventive maintenance, the pricing of power generation contracts, and the analysis of return on investment, providing a more powerful quantitative tool for the refined and intelligent operation and risk management of wind farms.

The wind speed time history is set to zero; and if the shut-down fan is an upstream fan, the wake reduction it causes to downstream fans is canceled during the corresponding shutdown period; after fault and wake coupling adjustment, the final usable wind speed time history of each fan is obtained. .
[0050] Assuming that the timing of failures and the corresponding maintenance time for each failure are independent of each other, the following steps are taken to calculate wind turbine failures, determine the downtime of each wind turbine, adjust for wake loss, and finally simulate wind turbine failures based on Poisson distribution.

If so, calculate the time period. When wind turbine i is removed from its upstream wind turbine set, the wake loss caused by wind turbine i to wind turbine j is no longer considered.

[0059] Step 8: Repeat steps 1 to 7 multiple times for iterative calculations to obtain the statistical distribution and uncertainty of the future AEP prediction value of the wind farm. In this embodiment, the above process is finally repeated 1000 times to obtain the calculated future AEP value and its uncertainty.
[0060] The following detailed description, using specific examples, further illustrates the detailed implementation of the wind farm power generation prediction method of the present invention, which considers the correlation between turbine location and wind speed and wind turbine failure.

[0062] In this example, the height of the wind turbine hub, the height of the wind measuring tower, and the height of the reference wind speed are all 100 m, which are consistent, so vertical extrapolation is not performed here.

(The lower triangular matrix of the symmetric matrix) is shown in Table 1. It can be seen that the correlation coefficient is around 0.9, indicating a strong correlation. Finally, the wind speed of each wind turbine is obtained based on the predicted wind speed.
