    摘要: A damage assessment arrangement for assessing the extent of damage to a lightning receptor electrically connected to a down conductor of a wind turbine rotor blade includes a measurement pulse module including a pulse generator arranged to transmit a pulse into one end of the down conductor and a return signal detector arranged to detect the return signal; a return signal analysis module configured to determine the extent of alteration of the return signal relative to an expected return signal; and a damage estimation module configured to relate the relative extent of alteration to a measure of damage to rotor blade LPS. The following further describes a wind turbine with such a damage assessment arrangement; and a method of assessing the extent of damage to a rotor blade LPS.

    摘要: A device may receive historical operational data for a mechanical system, such as a rotor blade of a wind turbine. The device may determine one or more quality grades for each of one or more materials of the system, e.g., the rotor blade. The one or more quality grades may be determined by using a data model to process the historical operational data. The data model may be trained using machine learning based on one or both of historical operational data for similar systems, e.g., other rotor blades, and end-of-life (EOL) testing data for the same. The device may determine a recycling recommendation based on the one or more quality grades. The recycling recommendation may include instructions relating to recycling the one or more materials. The device may deliver the recycling recommendation to another device or recipient.

    摘要: A method for setting a fully or partially built wind power installation having a rotor having a plurality of rotor blades whose blade angle can be adjusted, wherein the wind power installation can take on variable operating situations, and each operating situation is characterized by a combination of settable installation settings of the wind power installation and environmental conditions that can be captured, with the result that an operating situation can be set for given environmental conditions by setting the installation settings, and operating situations that should be avoided and/or suitable operating situations are stored in a memory by storing a combination of environmental conditions and installation settings as a combination to be avoided for an operating situation that should be avoided in each case, and/or storing a combination of environmental conditions and installation settings as a suitable combination for a suitable operating situation in each case, and, to avoid operating situations that should be avoided, environmental conditions are captured and, depending on the captured environmental conditions and the stored combinations to be avoided and/or suitable combinations, installation settings of the wind power installation are selected and set such that installation settings of stored combinations to be avoided are avoided, and/or installation settings are selected from stored suitable combinations.

    摘要: The present application discloses a blade fault diagnosis method, apparatus and system, and a storage medium. the method includes: acquiring a blade rotation audio collected by an audio collection device during operation of a wind turbine generator system; preprocessing the blade rotation audio based on a wind noise filtering algorithm to obtain a blade rotation audio filtered out of wind noise; dividing the blade rotation audio filtered out of wind noise to obtain audio segments corresponding to blades of the wind turbine generator system respectively; diagnosing, based on the audio segments, whether the blades each corresponding to one of the audio segments are faulty. The present application can diagnose whether a corresponding blade is faulty respectively according to the audio segments of different blades, which improves the accuracy of the diagnosis results.

    摘要: An apparatus 100 for determining orientation of a segment 32 and 30 of a wind turbine blade 28 is disclosed. The apparatus includes an elongated member 1 and a support plate 2 provided at one end of the elongated member 1. The support plate 2 is defined with one or more provisions 4 to facilitate connection with the segment 32 and 30 of the wind turbine blade 28. Further, a measuring plate 3 is provided at another end opposite to the one end of the elongated member 1, where the measuring plate 3 is defined with a substantially airfoil profile 35. The measuring plate 3 includes a plurality of markers 18 disposed along an airfoil region 34 where, each of the plurality of markers 18 is indicative of one or more of multiple parameters to determine the orientation of the segment 32 and 30.
    FIG. 6 is the representative figure.
