关于客户
SSE 是英国和爱尔兰最大的可再生能源发电商,拥有重要的风能投资组合。该公司参与陆上风电场的开发,需要详细了解盛行风况如何与当地地形和潜在的风力涡轮机安装相互作用。 SSE 需要一种能够准确模拟复杂风气候并优化涡轮机放置的解决方案,以最大限度地提高能源产量并最大限度地降低风险。
挑战
陆上风电场的开发需要详细了解盛行风况如何与当地地形和潜在的风力涡轮机安装相互作用。目前使用的许多软件程序不太适合复杂的陆上地形,其中大气稳定性、林业和涡轮机相互作用等因素起着重要作用。准确预测环境条件和唤醒条件下的风速、风切变、风转向和湍流强度等风况对于智能项目设计至关重要。挑战在于找到一种解决方案,能够准确地模拟这些复杂的风气候并优化涡轮机的放置,以最大限度地提高能源产量并最大限度地降低风险。
解决方案
SSE 与 ANSYS ACE 咨询和支持团队合作,将 ANSYS CFX 与 WindModeller 部署到内部 HPC 集群上。该解决方案经过 SSE 投资组合中超过 25 个陆上开发和运营风电项目的验证。带有 WindModeller 的 ANSYS CFX 现在已成为 SSE 风电场开发工具集的重要组成部分。 WindModeller 用于能源生产评估、场地适宜性分析、涡轮机定位和涡轮机模型选择。它还可用于计算风资源并评估特定涡轮机类型的场地适宜性,确保场地湍流条件不会对涡轮机寿命产生不利影响。

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.

Hydro One Leads the Way In Smart Meter Development
In 2010, Ontario’s energy board mandated that time-of-use (TOU) pricing for consumers be available for all consumers on a regulated price plan. To meet this requirement, Hydro One needed to quickly deploy a smart meter and intelligent communications network solution to meet the provincial government’s requirement at a low cost. The network needed to cover Hydro One’s expansive service territory, which has a land mass twice the size of Texas, and its customers live in a mix of urban, rural, and remote areas, some places only accessible by air, rail, boat or snowmobile. Most importantly, the network needed to enable future enterprise-wide business efficiencies, modernization of distribution infrastructure and enhanced customer service. To meet these needs, Hydro One conceptualized an end-to-end solution leveraging open standards and Internet Protocols (IP) at all communication levels. The utility drew upon industry leaders like Trilliant to realize this vision.
