关于客户
Thesan 是一家位于 Chiusa di San Michele 的意大利公司,设计、制造和分销光伏电站安装结构。此外,该公司还开发、建设和运营可再生能源发电厂,包括光伏发电厂和小型水力发电厂。 Thesan 成立于 2008 年,作为 Savio Spa 的子公司运营。Savio Spa 是一家全球制造商,也是铝门窗五金件的顶级专家,在意大利、中国和印度设有工厂。凭借 Savio 集团在钢和铝结构设计方面的能力,以及由 40 多名工程师组成的团队,Thesan 能够满足所有海拔和气候条件下光伏电站的每一项施工要求,并采用任何特定的固定要求。公司提供技术专长和相应的经验来跟踪生产链的各个阶段;从项目开发到电厂建设、管理到维护。
挑战
Thesan是一家专门从事光伏电站安装结构设计、制造和分销的意大利公司,面临着优化功率为5兆瓦的中型光伏场安装结构的挑战。该场地由 1700 个阵列组成,每个阵列安装在两根杆子上,每个单独组装的结构重约 60 公斤。场地上安装的结构总重量为204吨钢材,材料成本约为17万欧元。每个结构仅减重 5 公斤,即可显着节省材料和成本。该结构由两个主要部分组成:钢制打入桩和铝椽,而成本较高的铝制部件的重量减轻至关重要。节省成本的另一个重要因素是交通,因为光伏发电场通常建在基础设施薄弱的偏远地区。更轻的结构不仅意味着生产中的材料成本更低,而且还意味着运输工作量和成本更低。然而,新的重量较轻的结构仍然必须能够承受风或雪等自然原因产生的所有载荷以及结构的恒载,确保完美的质量、一致的稳定性和结构所需的刚度。
解决方案
为了减轻整体结构的重量,同时仍确保刚度和安全性,Thesan 的工程师确定了用于将太阳能电池板连接到支撑杆的安装部件(椽子)的轮廓,因为它提供了最大的重量潜力通过结构优化实现节约。他们使用 Altair HyperWorks® 套件中包含的优化工具和 FE 求解器 OptiStruct® 来优化椽子组件。他们创建了一个设计空间,添加了边界条件和载荷,例如来自雪、风和恒载荷的载荷,并改变了壁厚和型材的整体形状,以最大限度地减少重量,同时将应力和位移保持在可接受的水平内。优化结果提出了一种新的型材设计,减少了上、侧、下壁厚,增加了整体高度,并增加了下部截面。然后通过有限元分析验证新设计,以确保其在可能的角度和发生的载荷下的刚度和安全性。然后采用类似的策略来减少厚度并优化钢结构的形状,从而形成轻质但可靠且安全的结构。

Vestas: Turning Climate into Capital with Big Data
Making wind a reliable source of energy depends greatly on the placement of the wind turbines used to produce electricity. Turbulence is a significant factor as it strains turbine components, making them more likely to fail. Vestas wanted to pinpoint the optimal location for wind turbines to maximize power generation and reduce energy costs.

Siemens Wind Power
Wind provides clean, renewable energy. The core concept is simple: wind turbines spin blades to generate power. However, today's systems are anything but simple. Modern wind turbines have blades that sweep a 120 meter circle, cost more than 1 million dollars and generate multiple megawatts of power. Each turbine may include up to 1,000 sensors and actuators – integrating strain gages, bearing monitors and power conditioning technology. The turbine can control blade speed and power generation by altering the blade pitch and power extraction. Controlling the turbine is a sophisticated job requiring many cooperating processors closing high-speed loops and implementing intelligent monitoring and optimization algorithms. But the real challenge is integrating these turbines so that they work together. A wind farm may include hundreds of turbines. They are often installed in difficult-to-access locations at sea. The farm must implement a fundamentally and truly distributed control system. Like all power systems, the goal of the farm is to match generation to load. A farm with hundreds of turbines must optimize that load by balancing the loading and generation across a wide geography. Wind, of course, is dynamic. Almost every picture of a wind farm shows a calm sea and a setting sun. But things get challenging when a storm goes through the wind farm. In a storm, the control system must decide how to take energy out of gusts to generate constant power. It must intelligently balance load across many turbines. And a critical consideration is the loading and potential damage to a half-billion-dollar installed asset. This is no environment for a slow or undependable control system. Reliability and performance are crucial.

Remote Monitoring and Control for a Windmill Generator
As concerns over global warming continue to grow, green technologies are becoming increasingly popular. Wind turbine companies provide an excellent alternative to burning fossil fuels by harnessing kinetic energy from the wind and converting it into electricity. A typical wind farm may include over 80 wind turbines so efficient and reliable networks to manage and control these installations are imperative. Each wind turbine includes a generator and a variety of serial components such as a water cooler, high voltage transformer, ultrasonic wind sensors, yaw gear, blade bearing, pitch cylinder, and hub controller. All of these components are controlled by a PLC and communicate with the ground host. Due to the total integration of these devices into an Ethernet network, one of our customers in the wind turbine industry needed a serial-to-Ethernet solution that can operate reliably for years without interruption.
