[0020] Example 1

[0021] As Figs. 1-2As shown, a system for real-time acquisition and response to the inclination of a large-diameter single pile at sea includes a sensor group arranged on the single pile 1, which is preferably installed at the mud surface position of the single pile 1, i.e. the position where the single pile intersects with the seabed surface, and which can acquire the inclination angle of the single pile 1; the sensor group is connected with the signal input end of a main control system 3, and the signal output end of the main control system 3 is connected with a wind turbine generator set 4.

[0022] In this embodiment, the inclination of the large-diameter single pile 1 at sea is acquired in real time by the sensor group, and according to the acquired inclination, the main control system 3 controls the wind turbine generator set 4 to take corresponding response measures, thereby effectively protecting the normal operation of the offshore wind turbine generator set 4.

[0023] Specifically, the sensor group includes two inclination sensors 2 arranged in a mutually perpendicular attitude, which respectively acquire the inclination angles in the Y direction and the X direction.

[0024] More specifically, the entire working process is as follows:

[0025] S1: The two inclination sensors 2 are respectively installed on the north side and the west side of the single pile 1;

[0026] S2: In the case of no or small wind speed, the yaw action is performed in the idling state of the wind turbine generator set 4 to realize the calibration of the measurement data of the inclination sensors 2 and acquire the calibration data curve;

[0027] S3: The wind turbine generator set 4 is calibrated to the north, and the inclination data of the two inclination sensors 2 and the yaw position angle of the set are collected and stored in the collector for calculating the inclination angle of the single pile 1 in real time;

[0028] S4: The recorded inclination angle value is used to correct the data calibration of the inclination sensors 2, and the current cabin position angle is combined to calculate the inclination of the single pile 1 in real time, and the specific reference formula is as follows:

[0029] θ = θ1cosα + θ2sinα

[0030] Wherein: θ1 is the data measured by the inclination sensor 2 installed on the north side; θ2 is the data measured by the inclination sensor 2 installed on the west side, and α is the angle of the absolute direction of the cabin;

[0031] S5: The main control system 3 acquires the size of the inclination of the single pile 1, and judges the size of the inclination of the single pile 1 and the set inclination threshold value, and if it exceeds the set threshold value, the main control system 3 will feed back the signal in real time to control the wind wheel thrust (such as the pitch angle) to ensure that the rotation angle does not exceed the limit;

[0032] S6: If it is impossible to control the rotation angle within the allowed range, the main control system 3 will directly control the offshore wind turbine generator set 4 to shut down to avoid safety accidents.

[0033] Preferably, the inclination sensor 2 can be a single-axis inclination sensor 2 of model BWK215CAN.

[0034] Embodiment 2

[0038] Further, the protection cover 5 is hemispherical and is inverted on the monopile 1; on the one hand, the hemispherical protection cover 5 has strong stress capacity and impact resistance, effectively avoiding the inclination sensor 2 from being crushed or hit; on the other hand, the hemispherical protection cover 5 can effectively resist strong wind load and wave impact, avoiding the inclination sensor 2 from being deviated to cause measurement error under the action of strong wind load or / and wave impact.

[0039] Further, the signal line of the inclination sensor 2 passes through the protection cover 5 and is fixedly connected with the protection cover 5; or an extension piece is arranged on the protection cover 5, the inclination sensor 2 is connected with an input end of the extension piece, and an output end of the extension piece is connected with the main control system 3; through the two modes, the stress point of the signal line is transferred to the protection cover 5, effectively avoiding the position of the signal line from being changed due to inadvertent pulling of an operator, and ensuring that the measurement data of the inclination sensor 2 remains in a stable environment.

[0040] Further, the protection cover 5 is sealingly fixedly connected with the monopile 1 by gluing, stabilizing the environment in the protection cover 5, avoiding water vapor from entering the protection cover 5, and ensuring the service life of the inclination sensor 2.
