Problems solved by technology

The main problem of wind power generation system is that the cost of operation and maintenance is relatively high. As its key component, wind turbine blades play an important role in the conversion of wind energy and electric energy. Its structural health monitoring is very important for maintaining the stability of wind power generation system. It has an important impact on reducing the maintenance cost of the wind power generation system, and the damage form is caused by the expansion of cracks, so the on-site detection of cracks on wind turbine blades is an important guarantee for the stable and reliable operation of wind turbine blades. However, using the traditional non-destructive testing technology of wind turbine blades to detect cracks in wind turbine blades takes a long time and has a great impact on economic benefits.
[0003] Patent applications with application numbers CN201210144547.7 and CN201320509812.X propose an acoustic-based nondestructive testing method for blades, but the above method must be equipped with a special sound wave transceiver, and due to the characteristics of sound waves, the detection process is easily disturbed by background noise
System cost, detection accuracy still has room for improvement

Embodiment 1

[0039] In this exemplary example, bolts are used to fix the wind turbine blades on the base, and the boundary condition of the wind turbine blades is fixed at one end. Fiber Bragg gratings are selected according to the shape, size, and detection accuracy requirements of the blades. The number of sensors is 12, and these sensors are pasted on the windward side of the wind turbine blades. The wavelengths of the 12 sensor gratings can be different, such as figure 1 shown. Use pre-made steel plates and sandbags to apply static loads to wind turbine blades, and use MOI's optical fiber grating demodulator SM130 to demodulate and record wind turbine blades under different static loads between 1200N and 6200N (increments of 500N) The static response of , where the sampling frequency is set to 1000Hz.

[0040] Such as figure 2 As shown, the static responses of wind turbine blades under 10 different static loads obtained by sampling are selected. These 10 static loads are provided by...

Embodiment 2

[0054] Such as figure 1 The shown wind turbine blade with a length of 13m is pasted with a fiber grating sensor containing 12 gratings on the windward side, and there is a crack near the sixth grating. Static excitation is applied at the position of 6.6m, and the static response of the wind turbine blade under different static loads between 1200N and 6200N (increment of 500N) is obtained.

[0055] Select 10 groups of static responses of wind turbine blades with different static loads and the gap between static loads is 1000N, respectively calculate the chi-square distribution curve between two non-repetitive static responses, denoted as CSD 1 (x),...,CSD 5 (x), such as figure 2 shown by figure 2 It can be seen that the value difference of the chi-square distribution curve at the fifth or sixth grating position is very small, so it is considered that the maximum value of the chi-square distribution curve is at the fifth or sixth grating position, that is, the blade is at t...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a system applied to the in-situ crack detection of a wind generator blade. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining static responses of the wind generator blade under the condition that different loads are loaded by using an optic fiber grating sensor; calculating a Chi-square distribution curve among the static responses of the wind generator blade when the different static loads are loaded, and carrying multinomial reconstitution on the Chi-square distribution curve to obtain reconstruction curves; and by taking the Chi-square distribution reconstruction curves as different information sources, carrying out information fusion by using the reconstruction optimal accumulation theory to obtain an information fusion degree curve, and identifying the position of a crack of the wind generator blade according to the position of a maximum value of the information fusion degree curve. According to the method and the device, only the static responses of the wind generator blade when the different static loads are loaded are required; any data under the condition that the wind generator blade is complete is not required; the calculation is quick and accurate; the method and the device are simple, and liable to implement and are applicable to real-time health monitoring of the wind generator blade.
