The invention discloses a blade clearance monitoring method for a wind generating set. The method comprises the steps of firstly, determining a safe clearance value; then, fixing a point at the position which is away from the ground by the safe clearance value; subsequently, mounting a
laser distance measurement device with visible light reference on the side face of a cabin, wherein
laser faces downwards vertically; when visible light is seen to be cast to the fixed point on the ground, fixing the
laser distance measurement device; subsequently, connecting the laser
distance measurement device into a
control system; in the operation process, if a blade is not bent severely, considering the distance measured by the laser distance
measurement device as the distance from the laser distance
measurement device to the ground; and if the blade is bent severely due to the
wind effect and the measured distance exceeds the safe clearance distance,
casting the laser to the blade, and consideringthe distance measured by the laser distance
measurement device as the distance from the laser distance measurement device to a lower blade tip of the blade, wherein a
control system makes judgment and gives an alarm for halt, the blade stops rotating so that it can be guaranteed that the set operates safely. The method has the advantages of being safe, reliable, precise in measurement, low in cost and the like.
