[0002] A wind turbine is an electrical device that converts wind energy into mechanical work, which drives the rotor to rotate and ultimately outputs alternating current. The working principle of a wind turbine is relatively simple. The wind rotor rotates under the action of wind force, converting the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy of the wind rotor shaft. The generator rotates under the drive of the wind rotor shaft to generate electricity. The generator blades are the most important and basic components of a wind turbine.

[0003] Existing wind turbine blades generally include three evenly distributed blades, a first flange fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the three blades, a blade hub, and three second flanges fixedly connected to the outer wall of the blade hub. The three first flanges and the three second flanges are fixedly connected by multiple bolts. The installation process is as follows: when the three blades are to be installed, the three first flanges and the three second flanges need to be tightened separately by multiple bolts.

[0004] The above-mentioned wind turbine blades have the disadvantage that when the three blades are to be installed, the three first flanges and the three second flanges need to be fastened separately by multiple bolts, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the process is complicated, making it inconvenient to install the blades.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the contents of this invention, those skilled in the art may make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and that these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined in this application.

[0024] The utility model discloses a wind turbine blade subjected to plasma surface treatment. The main structure includes a hub 1 and three blades 2 subjected to plasma surface treatment. The treatment method and equipment are both mature existing technologies. The specific structure and principle are not described in detail here. After the blades 2 are subjected to plasma surface treatment, the following effects are achieved:

[0025] 1) The energy of plasma excitation injection is equivalent to the energy source term coupled with the fluid flow NS equation. A plasma aerodynamic excitation model is established. It is feasible to control the airfoil flow separation by numerical simulation of plasma excitation.

[0026] 2) Numerical simulations of plasma actuation applied at a 10% position on the airfoil's upper edge demonstrate that applying plasma actuation in the separation region improves the airfoil's aerodynamic characteristics. At an angle of attack of 17°, the lift coefficient increased from 1.478 to 1.748, while the drag coefficient decreased from 0.0462 to 0.036. After actuation, the airfoil's lift coefficient increased by 18.27% and its drag decreased by 22.09%, demonstrating a significant actuation effect. Plasma actuation was observed to have a significant lift-enhancing effect on the airfoil's leading edge, improving the airfoil's lift-drag characteristics and delaying the stall angle of attack from 17° to 20°.

[0027] 3) When the angle of attack is 17° and 20°, after applying plasma aerodynamic excitation, new energy is injected into the boundary layer, the flow velocity in the boundary layer is increased, the adverse pressure gradient and low-energy airflow accumulation are reduced, and to a certain extent, the control effect of delaying and slowing down the boundary layer separation and eliminating the vortex to suppress flow separation can be achieved.

[0028] 4) Applying excitation has the effect of increasing lift and reducing drag on airfoils of different thicknesses, different cambers, and different maximum thickness positions, but it also affects the excitation effect. As the thickness and camber increase, the excitation effect and the improvement of aerodynamic characteristics are weakened. In addition, the forward or backward movement of the maximum thickness position will affect the improvement of aerodynamic characteristics and the excitation control effect.

[0029] 5) When the angle of attack is 20°, the applied excitation voltage peak value is from 10-20kV, the lift coefficient increases from 1.475 to 1.725, an increase of 16.9%, and the drag coefficient decreases from 0.11 to 0.0797, a decrease of 27.5%. Within a certain range, the larger the excitation voltage peak value, the greater the rate of increase in the lift coefficient and the rate of decrease in the drag coefficient, and the better the flow separation control effect. When the applied excitation frequency is from 1-4kHz, the lift coefficient increases from 1.415 to 1.725, an increase of 21.9%, and the drag coefficient decreases from 0.131 to 0.08, a decrease of 38.9%. This improves the aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoil and improves the effect of suppressing flow separation. However, when the frequency is increased to 5kHz, the aerodynamic characteristics are reduced and the flow control effect is weakened.
