The hottest intelligent wave is changing the wind

The wave of intelligence is changing the wind power industry: the wind is coming, and now the generator itself can "see"

for wind turbines, in the past, "it was a bit like a blind man capturing energy (electric energy) in the wind speed, and it can only rely on its crutch forever, and intelligent wind turbines will be able to sense the wind." This is the image metaphor made by Wang Xiaoyu, vice president of vision energy (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as vision energy). To make the wind turbine "see" the wind and make a judgment in advance, it only needs to install a set of lidar equipment

behind this change is a major change being carried out in the entire wind power and even photovoltaic industry. Qinhaiyan, Secretary General of the wind energy professional committee of the China Renewable Energy Society, lamented to the daily economy that at present, IOT technology, ICT technology and intelligent technology have been widely used for data analysis at the equipment level of wind turbine generators

intelligent control in order to reduce the cost of kilowatt hour electricity

during the 2017 Beijing International Wind Energy Conference, Wang Xiaoyu told the daily economy that in the past, the wind turbine was a bit like a blind man capturing energy in the wind speed. It could only rely on its crutches and the perception of his hands and feet, but it could not see the obstacles in front of it as early as normal people and give correct feedback

the new technology makes this situation change. Wang Xiaoyu mentioned that manufacturers can make the impeller larger and the tower higher, but if they do not have intelligent radar technology and intelligent machine vision monitoring technology, they will still be a tall "blind man"

"let the wind turbine have eyes" what is the significance of such a change

Qin Haiyan said that lidar is the application representative of ICT technology. Lidar can be commercialized. First, the cost has been greatly reduced, and second, the analysis and calculation ability has been greatly enhanced. By sensing the speed and direction of the incoming wind in advance through lidar, we can implement better operation control strategies, improve power generation efficiency and reduce load

such intelligent technology is not an individual case. At this exhibition, the introduction of intelligent fans and smart wind farms seems to have become an action of major enterprises

whether it is the wind resource platform launched by CRRC Zhuzhou Institute using big data and cloud computing, or the sharing of new intelligent wind turbine models and eNOS smart wind farm software solutions for vision energy to reduce sea and land operation and maintenance costs, or the low wind speed models explored by Goldwind technology, it is inseparable from the application of digital technology

Gu Yanhui, deputy chief engineer of Beijing Tiancheng Tongchuang Electric Co., Ltd., focuses on the joint supply of multiple energy needs at the user end, rather than simply focusing on the value of electricity or energy value

artificial intelligence can also be introduced into wind power in the future

whether the wind turbine should be equipped with radar or the wind farm should be operated intelligently, it is obvious that it has gradually become the consensus in the industry

as for the method of digitalization, Miao Jun, vice president of Shanghai electric wind power group, believes that "taking doctrine" is also an experience. He stressed that we should always pay attention to the latest scientific research achievements in other fields in the wind power industry. In this way, "at least we don't have to worry about the technical bottleneck in the development of our industry before retirement"

in the digital era, where is the future development direction of wind power enterprises? WISCO made suggestions from both macro and micro aspects. In the macro aspect, he believes that we should realize energy interconnection and multi energy complementarity, and realize the unified management of load and power supply with the help of digital forecasting. Finally, through data-driven innovation, sharing, integration and cross-border; In the micro aspect, to realize the full digitalization of the industry, we can start from the data definition, standards, quality and other aspects

focusing on the future, WISCO believes that industrial enterprises, especially wind power enterprises, should gradually learn to "walk on two legs" at the moment of the integration of industrialization and informatization. In the first stage, we should realize the specialization, standardization and informatization of key businesses and realize the digitalization of key businesses. The second stage is to realize the integration of key business interconnection and digital informatization of the area surrounded by the stress-strain curve of the specified strain, that is, the interconnection of individual systems to realize networking and platformization. In the third stage, machines and artificial intelligence are introduced, and airware can bring four advantages to aircraft manufacturing: 1. It is 25% lighter than traditional aluminum alloy materials, and now it is intelligent collaborative informatization
