Definitions
- the present invention relates to a mutually supportive Lidar system for wind farms comprising a data acquisition system operatively and communicative connected to two or more Lidar units.
- Each Lidar unit comprises orienting means in communication with a controller, and a Lidar.
- the Lidar is configured with an energy source emitting a beam and a sensor unit configured for measuring the radial wind speed at a given distance.
- Lidar systems are extensively used to mapping and have found widely use in meteorological applications for environmental and wind field mapping.
- the use of Lidars in connection with wind turbines for measuring wind conditions has been growing and Lidars are today widely used during the process of planning and establishing wind farms.
- the use of Lidars during operation of the wind turbines has likewise been increasing.
- a single laser typically serves several telescopes.
- a so-called beam splitter may be used.
- a beamsplitter is an expensive and sensitive piece of equipment.
- a range of commercial Lidar systems is used in relation to wind power.
- Nacelle- mounted Lidars may be used for upwind measurements for estimating the incoming wind to a wind turbine.
- Other systems have been proposed where the Lidar is mounted in the turbine spinner (nose cone), a so-called spinner-mounted Lidar.
- the advantage of spinner-mounted Lidars is that they can be designed to be reconfigured remotely in order to orient the beam at a larger or smaller angle relative to the axis of rotation, thereby covering a smaller or larger cone.
- the disadvantage of such systems is that the spinner-mounting makes it difficult to perform maintenance and repairs.
- Today, nacelle-mounted Lidars are mainly used today for testing purposes.
- the system provides for simultaneous measurement of the wind upstream and downstream of a wind turbine using at least one Lidar with either a single Lidar beam split into two beams or a multiple beam Lidar with a first and a second beam source. Furthermore, a system comprising multiple Lidars is disclosed where the Lidar systems are operated dependent on each other by making use of the beam source in one Lidar and the sensor unit of another Lidar thereby achieving redundancy in the atmospheric measurement system.
- the aforementioned aspects may be achieved by a mutually supportive Lidar system for wind farms.
- the mutually supportive Lidar system may comprise a data acquisition system operatively and communicatively connected to two or more Lidar units.
- Each Lidar unit may comprise a Lidar.
- Each Lidar unit may further comprise orienting means in communication with a controller.
- Each Lidar may be configured with an energy source emitting a beam and a sensor unit.
- Each Lidar may be configured for measuring radial wind speed at a given distance.
- the sensor unit may be operatively connected to the energy source within each individual Lidar unit to detect scattered energy from the emitted beam, such that the indi- vidual Lidars can be configured to be operatively independent.
- the Lidar unit may be configured with a pivotable line of sight regulated by the orienting means substantially configured as a centerline of the emitted beam running from the energy source to a measurement point.
- the Lidar may be a pulsed Lidar or continuous wave (CW) Lidar.
- the sensor unit may be a sensor/processor unit, wherein the sensor unit further comprises a processor.
- the Lidar measurements may comprise other wind conditions.
- the term wind conditions are applied as a general term in this description and thus, measuring wind conditions include measuring a radial wind speed.
- the orienting means may be a gimbai.
- the gimbai may be configured with a ccontinuous 360 degree rotation of azimuth.
- the orienting means is/are by no means limited to a gimbai.
- the orienting means may be configured with any given operational, rotation angle if the orienting means pro- vides for the Lidar units to serve the purpose of the mutually supportive Lidar system as described herein.
- the gimbai. may further be configured with, build-in elevation of the base.
- Present-day gimbals may provide ultra-precise angular position, rate and acceleration for development and production, testing of a wide range of systems. They may be used for directing optics, lasers, antennas and sensors at high speed to very precise pointing angles. Furthermore, present-day gimbals may require a minimum of maintenance.
- the Lidar may comprise a substantially coherent energy source.
- Operating the individual Lidars independent means that the sensor unit and the energy source comprised in the same Lidar are operatively connected such that the sensor unit detects scattered energy from the emitted beam. This is contrary to dependent operated Lidars where the sensor unit of one or more Lidars may be operated to detect scattered energy from the beam emitted from another Lidar.
- each Lidar unit may look in all directions of the forward hemisphere, thereby achieving to detect gusts approaching from the side.
- the system may incorporate the "mutually Supportive Principle” or “Musketeer Principle” of one for all, all for one, where in case one Lidar unit fails, a neighboring Lidar unit may compensate for the absence of a valid Lidar signal by looking at the neighboring field and perform the measurement. Or alternatively several neighboring Lidar units may compensate for the ab- sence of a valid Lidar signal by jointly scanning the wind field in front of the failing Lidar unit. This may be advantageous by preventing the need for reduced operation of the wind turbine or wind turbines.
- Such compensation may be pre-programmed in the control of Lidar unit, so each Lidar is allocated a certain time slot looking forward of neighboring turbines, or allocation of time slots may be instructed during use from the data acquisition system.
- the Lidar unit(s) may send the Lidar measurements results to the data acquisition system, which then calculates, maps or models the wind field in front of the failing Lidar unit and sends the results to the wind turbine for local control purposes.
- the local control purposes of the wind turbine may be correction of yaw misalignment, blade pitch or other rotor speed adjustments.
- a further effect of the embodiment may be that one or more Lidar units may be oper- ated to measure radial wind speed at several measurement points and thus allocate their measurement time to different areas including pointing the beam in directions not within the forward hemisphere, thereby providing measurement to the data acquisition system. This may be advantageous in regard to achieving the establishment of a representation of the complete wind field in a wind farm, using the data acquisition system.
- the orienting means is/are fitted with a beam-deflecting component oriented to face the energy source and the sensor unit and arranged to deflect the beam.
- the beam-deflecting component may be a mirror or a prism.
- the beam-deflecting component may be mounted on a gimbal.
- An effect of the embodiment comprising the gimbal-mounted light-deflecting component may be that Lidar unit's line of sight may be pivotable adjusted achieved with the Lidar mounted in a fixed position.
- the gimbal-mounted light-deflecting component may provide for orienting the emitted beam in any direction within a hemisphere with any azimuth angle from 0 to 360 degree.
- the advantage may be that the Lidar unit using a single Lidar may be used to measure at measurement points upwind, downwind or sideways from the Lidar.
- the Lidar units are nacelle-mounted.
- the Lidar unit is mounted in the same height as the rotor and may emit a beam substantially perpendicular to the rotor plane thereby achieving a line of sight less sensitive to errors in its angular orientation.
- nacelle-mounted Lidars have the advantage of being less sensitive to errors in its angular orientation compared to ground-based Lidars, because a nacelle -mounted Lidar typically has a line of sight substantially in the horizontal direction, and thus measures the incoming wind on the rotor plane as the cosine component.
- the ground-based Lidars measures in a direction closer to a vertical direction typically with an oblique angel to the vertical, and thus measures the incoming wind on the rotor plane as the sine component.
- the individual Lidar units are mounted on selected wind turbines.
- mapping the wind field may be accomplished using a total of less than one Lidar per wind turbine in a wind farm, if the wind farm comprises at least three wind turbines to benefit from the mutually supportive system. This may be advantageous in regard to installation and maintenance costs. Furthermore, if the Lidar units are mounted in an optimized way, the mutually supportive system may provide for adequate coverage using less than one Lidar per wind turbine in a wind farm even in the case one or more Lidar unit fails.
- the effect of the mutually supportive system is that when a Lidar unit fails the other Lidar units assures adequate coverage to measure the relevant wind fields for all the relevant wind turbines, thereby achieving continued operation of all the relevant wind turbines during the downtime of a failing Lidar unit.
- the Lidar unit comprises a telescope fitted to the Lidar.
- a high-powered laser may be used with a simple optical unit comprising a single, large-aperture telescope to give accurate readings at long distances. This is advantageous in regard to eliminating the need for using any kind of beam splitters.
- the large-aperture telescope may be adjust- able with the effect of adjusting the focus point and thereby achieving that the measurement point may be altered not only in angular direction but also in distance.
- the data acquisition system collects wind data from the communicative connected Lidar units.
- the data acquisition system may collect all the data from all the communicative connected Lidar units thereby achieving a data set with a large amount of data to map the actual measured wind field covered by the system. It may be further advantageous in regard to establishing the base for further ex- trapolation to establish a representation of the complete wind field in a wind farm. Furthermore, the collected data may be used for predicting or forecasting wind fields in a local field or for a selected area.
- the data acquisition system comprises a control system that communi- cates with the individual Lidar units to direct the Lidar beam to specified directions and/or distances, and a processing system that processes the collected wind data from one or more of the communicatively connected Lidars to create a wind field representation of a wind field for one or more selected areas.
- the control system comprised in the acquisition system may configure the sensor unit to measure the radial wind speed at a given distance and/or in a given direction.
- the given distance and/or direction may be any specified distance and/or direction within the reach of the Lidar unit(s).
- the selected area(s) is(are) upwind from one or more wind turbines, downwind from one or more wind turbines, sideways from one or more wind turbines and/or for the entire area of the wind farm.
- An effect of this embodiment is that the operation of each Lidar units may from time to time be altered to allocate time slots to measure in different direction and distances than their normal operation. These alterations may precisely may allocation of time slots and thus be incorporated as part of the normal operation.
- the operation of a Li- dar unit may include time slots allocated to determining local wind field for the turbine on which it is mounted, time slots allocated to measure neighboring wind field(s), time slots allocated to measure down wind, and/or time slots allocated to measure elsewhere to provide data for characterizing the complete wind farm wind field. This has the advantage that the time slots may be adjusted continuously as a consequence of conditions, failing neighboring Lidar units, wake steering needs, amongst others. The time slots may be adjusted both in regard to purpose and time length.
- a further effect of this embodiment is the complete wind farm wind field may be mapped, which may advantageously be used for control purposes, such as wake steering.
- the mapping may comprise the measured data, a representation of the measured data including extrapolation of the data set, predicted or forecasted wind field based on the actual measured data or any other relevant model representation of the wind field based on the collected wind data.
- the mutually supportive Lidar system when installed in a wind farm the mutually supportive Lidar system according to the invention comprises:
- a mirror, prism or other light-deflecting component mounted on a gimbal
- a processing system that uses the information from all the Lidars to create a representation of the wind field in front of all the wind turbines and in the wind farm.
- An object of the invention may be achieved by a method of mapping a wind field in a wind farm.
- the method may comprise an act of communicating between a data acquisition system and two or more Lidar units.
- the method may further comprise an act of operating two or more Lidar units from a data acquisition system.
- the operating act may include orienting the beam emitted by the individual Lidar units by use of orienting means.
- the orienting means may be in communication with a controller.
- the method may further comprise an act of measuring radial wind speed at a given distance and/or direction using independently operated Lidars.
- independently operated Lidars means that the sensor unit and the energy source comprised in the same Lidar are operatively connected such that the sensor unit detects scattered energy from the emitted beam. This is contrary to dependent operated Lidars where the sensor unit of one or more Lidars may be operated to detect scattered energy from the beam emitted from another Lidar.
- the Lidars units may comprise orienting means.
- the orienting means may provide for an orienting angle of the Lidar and/or the Lidar beam.
- the orienting means may be configured with a continuous angle rotation of up to 360 degree rotation of azimuth.
- a further objective of the invention may be achieved by a method for mapping a wind field in a wind farm using a total of less than one Lidar per wind turbine.
- One effect of the embodiment may be that in case one Lidar unit fails a neighboring Lidar unit may compensate for the absence of a valid Lidar signal by looking at the neighboring field and perform the measurement. Or alternatively several neighboring Lidar units may compensate for the absence of a valid Lidar signal by jointly scanning the wind field in front of the failing Lidar unit, hereby achieving a "mutually Supportive Principle” or “Musketeer Principle” of one for all, all for one. This may be advantageous by preventing the need for reduced operation of the wind turbine or wind tur- bines.
- each Lidar is allocated a certain time slot looking forward of neighboring turbines, or allocation of time slots may be instructed during use from the data acquisition system.
- the Lidar unit(s) may send the Lidar measurements results to the data acquisition system, which then calculates, maps or models the wind field in front of the failing Lidar unit and sends the results to the wind turbine for local control purposes.
- the local control purposes of the wind turbine may be correction of yaw misalignment, blade pitch or other rotor speed adjustments.
- a further effect of the embodiment may be that one or more Lidar units may be operated to measure wind conditions at several measurement points and thus allocate their measurement time to different areas including pointing the beam in directions not within the forward hemisphere, thereby providing measurement to the data acquisition system. This may be advantageous in regard to achieving the establishment of a representation of the complete wind field in a wind farm, using the data acquisition system.
- a further objective of the invention may be achieved by a method for mapping a wind field in a wind farm using a mutually supportive Lidar system as described in the previous embodiments.
