Description

A method, apparatus, equipment, and storage medium for reconstructing three-dimensional icing on wind turbine blades.

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411030527.9, filed on July 30, 2024, entitled "A Method, Apparatus, Device and Storage Medium for Three-Dimensional Icing Reconstruction of Wind Turbine Blades", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of wind power generation simulation technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, equipment and storage medium for three-dimensional icing reconstruction of wind turbine blades. Background Technology

[0003] In recent years, wind power has become an important component of global renewable energy. Looking at development trends, wind power technology is constantly being improved and innovated, for example, by increasing turbine height, improving turbine efficiency, reducing costs, and providing reliable safety. Statistical analysis shows that icing is one of the major problems facing wind power generation, causing significant losses every year.

[0004] To study methods for preventing and controlling icing on wind turbine blades, extensive research has been conducted on the formation mechanism and influencing characteristics of icing on wind turbine blades. Icing on wind turbine blades mainly concentrates on the leading edge and is primarily formed by the collision and freezing of supercooled water droplets in the air. Li Zhiyu et al. from Chongqing University, in their numerical simulation of rime icing on 300kW large wind turbine blades, used the Lagrange method to calculate the water droplet collision coefficient on the blade surface. Liang Jian et al., based on FLUENT software, used the Euler method to solve for the water droplet collision coefficient on the wind turbine blade surface and verified the simulation results through artificial icing experiments. Their experimental results show that the icing range and morphology on the wind turbine blade surface vary significantly under different wind speeds, temperatures, and median water droplet diameters. FENSAP software is also frequently used for numerical simulations of icing growth on wind turbine blade surfaces and can map the distribution of water droplet collision coefficients. Jin et al. from the University of Tromsø, Norway, used FENSAP to simulate icing on wind turbine blade airfoils S826 and S832, and verified the results through wind tunnel tests. Their research indicated that under the same icing environment, the ice shape of the S832 wind turbine blade was more complex than that of the S826, and the difference in aerodynamic performance between the two airfoils was related to the icing thickness and type. Similarly, Galal M. Ibrahim et al. studied the proportion and similarity of icing on rotating wind turbine blades. They used FENSAP ICE software to perform numerical CFD icing simulations and tested the influence of wind turbine blade airfoil scaling methods on the icing results.

[0005] Icing development rate and icing quality are key parameters affecting the safe operation of wind turbines. However, the current application mainly uses CFD fluid dynamics simulation software to simulate the flow field analysis, water droplet collision and freezing involved in wind turbine icing. However, this process is relatively complex, and the large size of wind turbines and the large number of grids place certain demands on computer performance and computing time, which to some extent restricts the application of this technology in wind turbine engineering for icing prediction, early warning and prevention.

[0045] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0046] For ease of understanding, please refer to Figure 1. This application embodiment provides a method for reconstructing three-dimensional icing on wind turbine blades, including:

[0047] S1. The wind turbine blade is sectioned using the cross-section cutting method to obtain the two-dimensional airfoil cross-sectional coordinate data at each position of the wind turbine blade.

[0048] Referring to Figure 2, the wind turbine blades of the wind turbine can be sectioned using the cross-sectional cutting method to obtain the two-dimensional airfoil section coordinate data A at various positions of the wind turbine blades. i .

[0049] S2. Based on the coordinate data of the two-dimensional airfoil section, the boundary element method is used to calculate the airflow field of each two-dimensional airfoil section of the wind turbine blade to obtain the external airflow velocity of each two-dimensional airfoil section.

[0050] Based on two-dimensional airfoil section coordinate data A i The boundary element method is used to solve for the influence coefficients and disturbance potential data corresponding to the wind turbine blades. Based on the influence coefficients and disturbance potential data, and combined with the parameter relationship between the influence coefficients and disturbance potential data, the flow field disturbance potential data of each two-dimensional airfoil section of the wind turbine blades are calculated. Based on the parameter relationship between the flow field disturbance potential data and the airflow velocity, the airflow field is calculated for each two-dimensional airfoil section of the wind turbine blades to obtain the external airflow velocity u(u) of each two-dimensional airfoil section. x ,u y The potential function φ of the airflow field can be expressed as a uniform potential flow. and disturbance potential flow The sum of the airflow velocity u(u x ,u y Then it can be expressed as:

[0051] S3. Based on the external airflow velocity of each two-dimensional airfoil section, perform force analysis on the water droplet, calculate the collision position of the water droplet on the surface of each two-dimensional airfoil section, and calculate the local water droplet collision coefficient and freezing coefficient based on the collision position.

[0052] As shown in Figure 3, based on the initial water droplet and external airflow velocity, the force state of the water droplet is determined using the Lagrange algorithm. According to the force state, the water droplet's trajectory is tracked. When the water droplet collides with the surface of the wind turbine blade, the collision position and velocity are determined. Based on the collision velocity, the normal vector of the collision position, and the external airflow velocity, combined with the formula for calculating the local collision coefficient, the local collision coefficient of the water droplet at the collision position is obtained. Assuming the relative distance (initial gap) between two adjacent water droplets at infinity (unaffected by the airflow field) is ds0, and the relative distance at the collision position of these two adjacent water droplets on the wind turbine blade surface (i.e., the relative distance after the collision) is ds, the local water droplet collision coefficient β1 is obtained by calculating the ratio of the initial gap distance ds0 to the relative distance ds at the collision position.

[0053] If the mass of the water droplet captured by the collision is M c The frozen part is M f Then the expression for calculating the freezing coefficient β3 can be obtained as follows:

[0054] Further, based on the heat balance equation, we can obtain:

[0055] In the formula, h c The convective heat transfer coefficient is expressed in W / (m²). 2 ·℃); T w T and T represent the surface temperature of the fan blades and the ambient temperature, respectively, in K; χ is the evaporation coefficient, in J / (m²). 2 ·kPa); e(T w (T) represents temperature T w The saturated vapor pressure on the surface of the fan blades at temperature T is expressed in kPa; e(T) is the saturated vapor pressure on the surface of the fan blades at temperature T, expressed in kPa; L f ε is the latent heat of fusion of ice, expressed in J / kg; σ is the emissivity, preferably ε = 0.95; R is a constant; w is the liquid water content in the air, in kg / m³. 3 V represents wind speed, in m / s; C w Specific heat of water, expressed in J / (kg·℃);

[0056] Wherein, the mass of the captured water droplets is M c The calculation formula is: M c =β1wVS j dt

[0057] In the formula, dt is the time step, in seconds; S jThe unit line segment is the length of the two-dimensional cross-section of the wind turbine blade, which is divided into segments, in meters.

[0058] S4. Obtain the icing thickness and icing morphology of each two-dimensional airfoil section based on the local water droplet collision coefficient, freezing coefficient, and environmental parameters.

[0059] The icing thickness h of the two-dimensional cross-section is calculated based on environmental parameters such as wind speed V, ambient temperature T, and liquid water content w in the air, as well as the local water droplet collision coefficient β1, freezing coefficient β3, time step dt, and the relative distance ds between adjacent water droplet collision positions.

[0060] In the formula, ρ i This refers to the density of the ice layer, expressed in kg / m³. 3 After obtaining the icing thickness h of each two-dimensional airfoil section, the icing morphology of each two-dimensional airfoil section is drawn based on the icing thickness h.

[0061] S5. Update the coordinate data of the two-dimensional airfoil section according to the icing thickness of each two-dimensional airfoil section, and return to step S2 until the preset conditions are met, and then execute step S6.

[0062] Furthermore, before updating the coordinate data of the two-dimensional airfoil sections based on the icing thickness of each section, a moving average method can be used to optimize the icing morphology, ensuring the smoothness of the icing surface and providing conditions for icing calculations in the next time step. The icing coordinates replace the coordinates of the portion of the original (iced) wind turbine blade's two-dimensional airfoil section obscured by icing, forming new two-dimensional airfoil section coordinate data A. i+1 Using the new two-dimensional airfoil section coordinate data A i+1 For input, repeat steps S2 to S5 to calculate the icing thickness and icing morphology of each two-dimensional airfoil section of the wind turbine blade in the next time step t+dt, until the set maximum icing time is reached, and then execute step S6.

[0063] S6. Lofting is performed on each two-dimensional airfoil section of the wind turbine blade to obtain the three-dimensional icing morphology of the wind turbine blade.

[0064] As shown in Figure 4, the two-dimensional airfoil sections of the wind turbine blade are lofted to form a three-dimensional solid, thus obtaining the three-dimensional icing range, three-dimensional icing morphology, and icing quality of the wind turbine blade within the current time range.

[0065] This application employs a cross-sectional cutting method to section the wind turbine blade, obtaining the coordinate data of the two-dimensional airfoil cross-section at various locations of the blade. Then, the boundary element method is used to calculate the airflow field of each two-dimensional airfoil cross-section, obtaining the external airflow velocity for each cross-section. Based on the external airflow velocity, the force analysis of water droplets is performed, calculating the local water droplet collision coefficient and freezing coefficient. The icing thickness and icing morphology of each two-dimensional airfoil cross-section are obtained through the local water droplet collision coefficient, freezing coefficient, and environmental parameters. Through iterative calculations, a lofting process is finally used to obtain the three-dimensional icing morphology of the wind turbine blade. This application uses the boundary element method without considering turbulence calculations to calculate the airflow field and water droplet motion field, simplifying the calculation of the water droplet collision coefficient within the allowable error range and reducing the three-dimensional flow field problem to multiple two-dimensional flow field calculation problems. This enables the rapid acquisition of the icing growth thickness and icing morphology of the wind turbine blade under different operating conditions such as different wind speeds and different water droplet sizes with a relatively small computational load.
