Solution Overview

Problem

Current wind turbine generator set simulation models inaccurately represent the non-linear relationship between wind speed and electrical/mechanical energy generation due to the use of linear relationships in mathematical models, leading to poor accuracy.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that cluster historical operation data into target data sets based on continuous wind speed ranges, train segmented pneumatic simulation models, calculate hyperplane coefficients, and concatenate these models with transmission generation models to create a more accurate wind turbine generator set simulation model.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a linear relationship is used between wind speed and mechanical energy generation in the simulation model, then the model construction is simple, but the accuracy of the simulation model deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel construction simplicityVSAvoidsimulation model accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the continuous wind speed range into multiple discrete segments or intervals. For each segment, a separate linear relationship is established between wind speed and mechanical energy generation. This segmentation allows the model to capture non-linear behavior across the full range while maintaining computational simplicity within each segment, thus resolving the contradiction between model simplicity and accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If a non-linear relationship is used between wind speed and mechanical energy generation, then the simulation model accuracy is improved, but the model complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimulation model accuracyVSAvoidmodel structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the non-linear relationship into multiple linear segments, where each segment represents a specific wind speed range. This approach approximates the non-linear behavior through piecewise linear functions, achieving improved accuracy without requiring complex non-linear mathematical models, thus reducing overall model complexity while maintaining precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters of the linear relationship (slope and intercept) for different wind speed segments. By allowing these parameters to vary across segments rather than remaining constant, the model captures non-linear behavior through parameter variation rather than through complex non-linear equations, thereby improving accuracy without significantly increasing model structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
