Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hazardous gas exhaust technology, specifically to a method for evaluating the profitability of offshore wind power transformers based on a three-dimensional coupled model. Background Technology

[0002] Offshore wind power, as a key pillar of global energy structure transformation and the achievement of "dual carbon" goals, is accelerating its development towards deep-sea and large-capacity applications. In this process, the investment, operation and maintenance costs, and reliability of offshore substation transformers—the core of power collection and transmission—directly determine the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and long-term economic benefits of the entire wind power project. Therefore, establishing a scientific and accurate transformer cost-benefit assessment model is crucial for guiding early-stage investment decisions, technology selection, and optimizing maintenance strategies during the operational phase. However, current widely adopted cost-benefit assessment methods reveal significant limitations and inadequacies in their theoretical frameworks and calculation models when facing the unique, complex, and harsh operating environment at sea, primarily in the following three aspects: The model has a single dimension: it often adopts a two-dimensional evaluation framework of "life cycle cost (LCC) + power generation revenue", ignoring the additional equipment loss costs caused by special marine environments (salt spray, wind waves, tides), resulting in an evaluation result deviation rate as high as 25%-30%.

[0003] Weak parameter correlation: Most cost and benefit parameters are statically assigned, without considering the dynamic coupling relationship between "environment-operating conditions-cost", such as the impact of wind and wave levels on operation and maintenance costs, and the nonlinear relationship between load factor and power generation gain, which cannot adapt to the complex scenario of offshore wind power.

[0004] Insufficient calculation accuracy: Traditional formulas mostly use linear coefficient corrections and do not introduce quantitative dynamic factors such as trigonometric functions and limit conditions. They are insufficient in characterizing cost fluctuations under extreme sea conditions (such as typhoons and storm surges), leading to increased investment decision-making risks.

[0005] In summary, existing cost-benefit assessment methods suffer from inherent deficiencies in dimensional systematicity, dynamic correlation, and computational accuracy, making it difficult to accurately and reliably reflect the actual economic profile of offshore wind power transformers throughout their entire lifecycle, especially in complex marine environments. Developing a comprehensive assessment model that deeply integrates marine environmental engineering, equipment reliability theory, and dynamic economic analysis has become a critical technical challenge that urgently needs to be addressed to improve the scientific nature of offshore wind power investment decisions, optimize asset management, and reduce overall project risks. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the issues of limited dimensions and weak parameter correlation in existing assessment methods, a three-dimensional coupled model of "life cycle cost - environmental loss - power generation gain" is constructed. Dynamic coupling parameters and complex calculation methods are introduced to improve the accuracy and scenario adaptability of cost-benefit assessment for offshore wind power transformers.

Calculate the three-dimensional coupling evaluation index CEI = α × GEB - β × (LCC + ELC) × (1 + δ × sinω) sea ') α – Benefit weighting coefficient, 0.3 during construction period, 0.7 during operation period, and 0.2 during decommissioning period; β – Cost weighting coefficient, 0.8 during construction, 0.5 during operation, and 0.6 during decommissioning; δ—Environment-benefit coupling coefficient, with a value range of 0.05 to 0.15; ω sea—The angular frequency of the marine environment, ranging from π to 2π rad / year.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. The four-level evaluation framework constructed in this invention is the first to systematically integrate and quantitatively couple the three core dimensions of finance, environment, and performance. It not only calculates the full-cycle economic cost (LCC) of equipment procurement, construction, operation and maintenance, and decommissioning, but also considers the potential damage to the marine ecological environment caused by project operation, such as biological impacts and water quality changes, as environmental costs (ELC), while accurately quantifying its power generation output and energy substitution benefits (GEB). Finally, a multi-dimensional normalized comprehensive evaluation is conducted through the CEI index, transforming project evaluation from the traditional "single-threaded economic comparison" to a "multi-objective optimization of cost-loss-benefit."

[0014] 2. This invention deeply embeds a series of dynamic environmental parameters, such as salt spray corrosion rate, the effect of humidity on electrical insulation, fatigue damage caused by wind and wave loads, and the constraints of sea conditions on operation and maintenance accessibility, into the evaluation models at all levels. This makes the evaluation results no longer static estimates under ideal laboratory conditions, but dynamic anti-interference evaluations that can truly reflect the project's ability to "survive" and "produce" in a specific sea area, greatly improving the reliability of the evaluation results. Detailed Implementation

[0015] To illustrate the features of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments.

[0016] Example 1: This invention is deployed in a cable trench system of a 220kV substation. The cable trench has a total length of 150.4m × width of 1.8m × depth of 2.2m, and is divided longitudinally into 24 standard sub-areas of 6m each and one end area of ​​6.4m. A monitoring matrix is ​​constructed for each sub-area: GDS60 CO / H2S composite sensors (range 0-2000ppm / resolution 1ppm) based on the NDIR principle are arranged at 0.44m below the trench top cover and at 1.54m below the trench top cover, respectively, in a 2×3 matrix, forming 6 monitoring nodes in the vertical direction (vertical spacing 1.1m / horizontal spacing 2m). The detection data from each node is connected to a local PLC control box via armored shielded cables. Each sub-area is equipped with two GD-5K explosion-proof axial flow exhaust fans as ventilation devices. The fan inlet is located 0.6m above the monitoring surface at the bottom of the trench, and the outlet extends to the ground pressure relief tower. The CO safety threshold C... 11 =40ppm, H2S safety threshold C 22 =8ppm; the safety threshold for the rate of change of gas concentration is set at V according to OSHA standards. 11 =2ppm / min (CO), V 12 =1ppm / min (H2S); Spatial weighting coefficient characteristic assigned to W 下 =0.6、W_up=0.4.

[0017] 1) Calculate the bottom risk component: When the sensor at the bottom of the trench in the sub-region detects H2S = 10 ppm (ΔH2S / Δt = 2 ppm / min) and CO = 45 ppm (ΔCO / Δt = 3 ppm / min) at time t0... R 下_H2S =0.6×[0.6×(10 / 8)+0.4×((2) / 1)]=0.93 R 下_CO =0.6×[0.6×(45 / 40)+0.4×((3) / 2)]=0.765 2) Calculate the top risk component: At time t0, the sensor at the top of the trench in the sub-region detects H2S = 8 ppm (ΔH2S / Δt = 1 ppm / min) and CO = 40 ppm (ΔCO / Δt = 2 ppm / min). R 上_H2S =0.4×[0.6×(8 / 8)+0.4×((1) / 1)]=0.4 R 上_CO =0.4×[0.6×(40 / 40)+0.4×((2) / 2)]=0.4 3) Calculate the evaluation values ​​of H2S and CO (top trigger 18 seconds after bottom trigger, K is 1.5; 3 out of 6 nodes exceed the threshold, P=3 / 6=0.5): H _H2S =(0.93+0.4)×1.5×0.5=0.9975 H _CO =(0.765+0.4)×1.5×0.5=0.87375 4) Based on H_ H2S =0.9975, H_ CO =0.87375 triggers a level 4 response.

[0018] This embodiment achieves precise prevention and control through spatial layered monitoring and dynamic risk algorithms. The system deploys gas sensors in pairs at the top and bottom of each cable trench area, forming a vertical rectangular monitoring network. When the concentration of harmful gas exceeds a threshold, a risk quantification model is activated to assess the risk of the accumulated harmful gas and initiate a corresponding risk response mechanism. A six-level progressive strategy is employed, escalating from passive ventilation to regional coordinated defense.

[0019] Furthermore, the system employs a multi-gas classification approach, using differentiated risk algorithm parameters for CO and H2S. A more stringent rate-of-change threshold is set for highly toxic H2S, increasing its sensitivity by 50% compared to CO, ensuring a rapid response to highly toxic substances. When multiple harmful gases are triggered simultaneously in the trench, the system automatically selects the execution strategy with the higher risk level to avoid underestimating the combined toxicity effects.

The present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes, modifications, additions, or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention do not depart from the spirit of the present invention and should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
