Definitions
- the invention relates to wind turbine generators and in particular to calibration of the pitch angle of rotor blades having variable pitch.
- Wind turbine generators of today usually have rotor blades with variable pitch, i.e. the rotor blades can be rotated about their longitudinal axis. This is done in order to optimise operation of the generator and the rotor and of the individual rotor blades.
- Rotor blade pitch may be adjusted according to the actual working conditions such as wind speed and load of the generator, and rotor blade pitch may be adjusted individually for each rotor blade during each revolution of the rotor.
- the invention therefore provides a wind turbine rotor comprising a hub with a rotor blade mounted to a bearing of the hub wherein the rotor blade has a longitudinal axis extending in a radial direction relative to an axis of rotation of the hub, and the rotor blade is rotatable about its longitudinal axis whereby the pitch of the rotor blade is adjustable, and the rotor blade has a tag fixed on the rotor blade at a predetermined angular position about the longitudinal axis of the rotor blade; and a sensor is fixed on the hub for contactless sensing of the tag when the tag is in a predetermined angular position about the longitudinal axis of the rotor blade.
- Such a rotor is useful for repeated and accurate calibration of pitch angle of the rotor blades of wind turbines. If calibration of rotor blade pitch is desired the rotor blade is rotated about its longitudinal axis until the tag is in the predetermined angular position about the longitudinal axis of the rotor blade, which is where the sensor senses the tag. The sensor then outputs a corresponding signal to a controller which sets the sensed angular position as a reference angular position for calibration of the rotor blade pitch angle.
- a tag that can be detected contactless, i.e. without being mechanically touched, can be detected e.g. magnetically or optically.
- a magnetically detectable tag can include a magnet, and a sensor for detecting it can include elements such as a reed element, a Hall effect element and an induction coil.
- An optically detectable tag can include a zone with optical properties that differ from those of the surroundings. Examples of such optical properties are colour, contrast, reflectance and refractive and diffractive properties.
- a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag is preferred, and such a tag may have RF detectable data relating to the rotor blade such as its serial number and other production data, physical data such as the type of rotor blade, length, revision number, mass and centre of gravity, moment of inertia, angular offset of the tag relative to the tip chord etc.
- the angular position of the tag may be the tip chord angle of the rotor blade or be in a known relation thereto so that the tip chord angle of the rotor blade may be identified from the detected position of the tag.
- the invention also provides a wind turbine generator with such a rotor with one or more rotor blades mounted on the hub so that the pitch of each rotor blade is adjustable by rotating the rotor blades about its longitudinal axis, and for each rotor blade the rotor has a sensor fixed on the hub for determining a predetermined angular position of the tag about the longitudinal axis of the rotor blade, such as radial alignment of the tag and the sensor.
- the blade pitch angle where radial alignment of the tag and the sensor occurs can then be taken as a reference pitch angle that can be used for calibrating the pitch angle of the rotor blades.
- the tag is preferably positioned at the angular position of the tip chord angle of the rotor blade or in a known relation thereto so that the tip chord angle of the rotor blade may be identified.
- the invention results in easier and faster commissioning of wind turbines. Further, it prevents the turbine from running with an aerodynamic unbalance due to rotor blade pitch being out of calibration. Such unbalance could create extra fatigue stress on the turbine and can in extreme cases lead to catastrophic failure.
- one degree in rotation about the longitudinal axis corresponds to a distance in the circumferential direction about the base of 17 mm.
- the position of a tag such as an RFID tag near the base can be detected with higher precision than that distance. This in turn implies that the rotor blade pitch angle can be calibrated with a corresponding accuracy, i.e. less than one degree.
- Figure 1 illustrates an axial section through parts of a hub of a wind turbine generator with a rotor blade mounted thereon
- Figure 2 illustrates a section through the root of the rotor blade taken along the line indicated by the arrows II-II in figure 1.
- FIG 1 a section through a hub 100 of a wind turbine generator.
- a rotor blade 200 is mounted on the hub by means of a rotor blade bearing 210.
- the blade bearing 210 has an inner bearing ring 211 secured to the base end of the blade 200 by means of bolts 214 and an outer bearing ring 212 secured to the hub 100 by means of bolts 215.
- the blade bearing 210 and its inner bearing ring 211 and outer bearing ring 212 are also shown in figure 2.
- the inner bearing ring 211 and the outer bearing ring 212 are balls or rollers 213 whereby the inner bearing ring 211, the outer bearing ring 212 and the balls or rollers 213 form a ball bearing or roller bearing for the rotor blade 200 so that the rotor blade can be rotated about its longitudinal axis 201 so as to adjust the rotor blade pitch angle.
- Means for adjusting the rotor blade pitch angle are not shown but can comprise e.g. electrically or hydraulically actuated means.
- the rotor blade 200 Near its base the rotor blade 200 has a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag 220 attached to the outer surface.
- RFID radio frequency identification
- a sensor 221 that senses the presence of the tag 220 at an angular position about the longitudinal axis 201 of the rotor blade 200 with radial alignment of the tag 220 and the sensor 221.
- a sensor cable 222 connects the sensor 221 to control equipment (not shown) for processing signals from the sensor.
- a groove is provided in the hub to ensure that the sensor is mounted on a specified pair of bolts 215. This ensures that the sensor can only be mounted in the correct position.
- a controller controls an actuating mechanism (not shown) to rotate the inner bearing ring 211 with the rotor blade 200 mounted thereon to a desired rotor blade pitch angle, i.e. the angle of the tip chord relative to a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the hub.
- the tip chord is a line segment at the tip of the rotor blade whose direction is defined as the direction between the leading and trailing edges of the rotor blade at the tip.
- Calibration of the rotor blade pitch angle may be performed when the rotor blade 200 is in an angular position where the tag 200 is in radial alignment with the sensor 221 or within a narrow angular interval thereabout. In such position the rotor blade has a known pitch angle, e.g. zero degrees, and the controller takes this angle as a reference angle and calculates changes in rotor blade pitch angle from this reference angle.
- a known pitch angle e.g. zero degrees
- the angular position of the rotor blade where the tag 220 and the sensor 221 are in radial alignment may be obtained routinely one or several times during the operation of the wind turbine generator or it may be obtained by the controller for the purpose of calibration of the rotor blade pitch angle.
- reliable calibration of the rotor blade pitch angle may be performed fast, repeatedly and in a simple manner as often as desired.
