Research on Representative Engineering Applications of Anemometer Towers Location in Complex TopographyWind Resource Assessment

The typical location and number of anemometer towers in the assessed area are the key to the accuracy of wind resource assessment in complex topography.As calculation examples,this paper used two typical complex topography wind farms in Guangxi,Yunnan province in China.Firstly,we simulated the wind resource status of the anemometer tower in the Meteodyn WT software.Secondly,we compared the simulated wind resource with the actual measured data by the anemometer tower in the same situation.Thirdly,we analyzed the influence of anemometer tower location and quantity in the accuracy of wind resource assessment through the comparison results.The results showed that the range which the anemometer tower can represent is limited(<5 kilometers),and the prediction error more than 5%.Besides,the anemometer towers in special terrain areas(such as wind acceleration areas)cannot be used as a representative choice.The relative error of the simulated average annual wind speed by choose different number of anemometer towers is about 4%,and the grid-connected power generation more than 6%.The representative effect of anemometer towers is of crucial for improving the accuracy of wind resource assessment in engineering applications.

A new method of measuring optical turbulence of atmospheric surface layer at Antarctic Taishan Station with ultrasonic anemometer

To find the optimal location for large-aperture telescopes is a goal of astronomy. Chinese Antarctic astronomy has begun to flourish in recent years, and it is an urgent need in basic astronomical work to measure and analyze the optical turbulence spatiotemporal distribution in the Antarctic region. We analyzed turbulence data measured by a mobile atmospheric parameter measurement system from 30 December 2013 to 10 February 2014 at Antarctic Taishan Station. Because there is a discrepancy between the refractive index structure constant Cn2 measured by an ultrasonic anemometer with a single-point temperature structure function method and by micro-thermometer, a new method to measure C,2 with a temperature spectrum method is proposed herein. Through comparing long-term continuous Cn2 data derived from ultrasonic anemometer with those via the new method and micro-thermometer, trend, magnitude and measured weak turbulence of-2× 10-16m-2/3 are generally satisfactory. The reason for the discrepancy in Cn2 measurement between the ultrasonic anemometer with the old method and micro-thermometer is investigated.

Anemometer Modified

A four cup commercial anemometer is modified as follows. Two cups with arms extending from the pivot are removed. The other two half spherical cups are re-placed by identical double cones, each of which is composed of two cones of different altitudes joined at the bases that are the same size. There is a stiff wire connecting the two double cones to the pivot at the midpoint so they are free to spin in the horizontal plane. They are parallel but oppositely oriented. When a fan is turned on aiming an air stream toward the double cones, they constantly rotate. Increasing the distance between the long axes of the two double cones causes the rotation rate to increase for the same setting of the fan. These results are qualitatively explained by reaction forces of a flowing fluid acting on the surfaces of solid bodies with front to back asymmetry in accord with Newton’s 3rd law (action equals reaction) published by the author earlier. Besides calibrating the modified anemometer for measuring wind speed, another practical application of the concept may be the generation of electricity by the natural winds.

Location of anemometer along Lanzhou-Xinjiang railway

Using structured mesh to discretize the calculation region, the wind velocity and pressure distribution in front of the wind barrier under different embankment heights are investigated based on the Detached Eddy Simulation(DES) with standard SpalartAllmaras(SA) model. The Reynolds number is 4.0×105 in this calculation. The region is three-dimensional. Since the wind barrier and trains are almost invariable cross-sections, only 25 m along the track is modeled. The height of embankment ranges from 1 m to 5 m and the wind barrier is 3 m high. The results show that the wind speed changes obviously before the wind barrier on the horizontal plane, which is 4.5 m high above the track. The speed of wind reduces gradually while approaching the wind barrier. It reaches the minimum value at a distance about 5 m before the wind barrier, and increases dramatically afterwards. The speed of wind at this location is linear with the speed of far field. The train aerodynamic coefficients decrease sharply with the increment of the embankment height. And they take up the monotonicity. Meanwhile, when the height increases from 3 m to 5 m, they just change slightly. It is concluded that the optimum anemometer location is nearly 5 m in front of the wind barrier.

Numerical Simulation on Floating Behavior of Buoyancy Tank Foundation of Anemometer Tower

The intact stability and damage stability of a model of an anemometer tower with buoyancy tank foundation are computed by the finite element software MOSES in this paper. The natural period of the anemometer tower is discussed through frequency domain analysis. The influence of a single factor, such as towing point position, wave height, wave direction and wave period, on towing stability is discussed through time domain analysis. At the same time, the towing stability under the condition of various combinations of many factors is analyzed based on the measured data of the target area. Computer simulation results show that the intact stability is preferable and the damage stability is sufficient under the condition of plenty of subdivisions. Within the scope of the buoyancy tank foundation,the higher the towing point position is, the better the stability is. Wave height has a great impact on the motion amplitude of buoyancy tank foundation, but the effect on the acceleration is not obvious; wave period has a great impact on the acceleration, while the effect on the motion amplitude is not obvious; following-waves towing is more conducive to safety than atry.

DATA PROCESSING ON LINEARIZATION OF HOT-WIRE ANEMOMETER

A method of data processing to determine the coefficients of linearization equations for 1050 anemometer (produced by Thermo-Systems Inc. -TSI, USA) with the sensors made of domestic hot wire using the program preferred in this Paper is described. By calculation and test, it is indicated that the error resulting from this method is about 0. 5% of the full scale and less than TSl's. By using this method we can set up the calibration curve according to the measurement range and the diameter of the hot wire at a certain accuracy.

An Adaptive Response Compensation Technique for the Constant-Current Hot-Wire Anemometer

An adaptive response compensation technique has been proposed to compensate for the response lag of the constant-current hot-wire anemometer (CCA) by taking advantage of digital signal processing technology. First, we have developed a simple response compensation scheme based on a precise theoretical expression for the frequency response of the CCA (Kaifuku et al. 2010, 2011), and verified its effectiveness experimentally for hot-wires of 5 μm, 10 μm and 20 μm in diameter. Then, another novel technique based on a two-sensor probe technique—originally developed for the response compensation of fine-wire thermocouples (Tagawa and Ohta 1997;Tagawa et al. 1998)—has been proposed for estimating thermal time-constants of hot-wires to realize the in-situ response compensation of the CCA. To demonstrate the usefulness of the CCA, we have applied the response compensation schemes to multipoint velocity measure- ment of a turbulent wake flow formed behind a circular cylinder by using a CCA probe consisting of 16 hot-wires, which were driven simultaneously by a very simple constant-current circuit. As a result, the proposed response compensation techniques for the CCA work quite successfully and are capable of improving the response speed of the CCA to obtain reliable measurements comparable to those by the commercially-available constant-temperature hot-wire anemometer (CTA).

Development of Verification Device for Starting Lever Pressing Automation of DEM6 Portable Three-cup Anemometer

At present,the verification system of wind speed in national 3MS provincial automatic weather station has been automated,but the wind speed verification of the DEM6 portable three-cup anemometer by the straight road wind tunnel cannot be automated.In order to record the reading of this verification,it is necessary to manually move the starting lever at the wind speed field during each verification.For this problem,a set of verification device for the DEM6 portable three-cup anemometer is developed based on automatic verification system of wind speed in the 3MS provincial automatic weather station.This device uses the the driving board of starting anemometer to connect with the pressing starting lever by a bar-shaped gap,so as to realize the remote control of the starting lever.It is convenient to use,and measure multiple sets of data at the same place.The measuring results are more accurate,thereby realizing automatic pressing of wind speed starting lever.

Anemometer Modified II

A commercial anemometer was modified by replacing the four cups with four identical two-dimensional blades, each with a circular arc side and a flat side. The flat sides are fixed to four arms radiating from a pivot so that they are parallel to the wind direction. The rounded sides all point in the same direction around a circle. When the wind blows, there is a lift force on the rounded side of each blade and they unite in causing rotation about the pivot with the curved sides leading. The more blades the faster the rotation is a prediction.

Effects of Precipitation on Sonic Anemometer Measurements of Turbulent Fluxes in the Atmospheric Surface Layer

Effects caused by precipitation on the measurements of three-dimensional sonic anemometer are analyzed based on a field observational experiment conducted in Maoming, Guangdong Province, China. Obvious fluctuations induced by precipitation are observed for the outputs of sonic anemometer-derived temperature and wind velocity components. A technique of turbulence spectra and cospectra normalized in the framework of similarity theory is utilized to validate the measured variables and calculated fluxes. It is found that the sensitivity of sonic anemometer-derived temperature to precipitation is significant, compared with that of the wind velocity components. The spectra of wind velocity and cospectra of momentum flux resemble the standard universal shape with the slopes of the spectra and cospectra at the inertial subrange, following the-2/3 and-4/3 power law, respectively, even under the condition of heavy rain. Contaminated by precipitation, however, the spectra of temperature and cospectra of sensible heat flux do not exhibit a universal shape and have obvious frequency loss at the inertial subrange. From the physical structure and working principle of sonic anemometer, a possible explanation is proposed to describe this difference, which is found to be related to the variations of precipitation particles. Corrections for errors of sonic anemometer-derived temperature under precipitation is needed, which is still under exploration.

随着可再生能源的迅速发展,风资源的开发利用也越发受到重视,在开发利用复杂地形的风能资源时,合理的测风方案对准确评估场址风能资源具有决定性的影响。文章通过华中某山区风电场资源评估案例,采用Meteodyn WT软件对该案例不同测风方案下电量模拟结果和测风塔互推结果进行分析。结果表明测风塔的准确代表性对模拟结果有着至关重要的影响,在复杂山地下测风塔的垂直代表性非常有限,当测风塔代表性不足时会产生模拟结果与实际情况的偏差,从而影响项目合理性的开发评估。在复杂山地项目开发前期,建议业主应充分重视测风塔在垂直代表性上有限的风险。对于海拔高差较大的项目,测风方案应对高海拔、中海拔、低海拔风况均有代表性。

变温度场下提高热线探针标定精度的方法

IFA300热线风速仪系统自带的探针标定风洞由于散热快、低速气流流过时温度锐减,无法完成给定温度、小流量时的探针标定。针对这一结构缺陷,本文提出了通过加热标定风洞侧壁的方式来维持标定气流温度,拓宽了标定低速气流的温度范围。采用重复性的实验研究方法,有效提高了标定结果的准确性。将温度跨度在20℃-58℃之间流体的标定结果的相对偏差控制在1%以内,远高于IFA300热线风速仪的设计精度。为适应对完全封闭腔内流动参数的测试,本文设计制作了一套探针防碰撞控制系统,大幅降低了探针的坏损率,同时实测了封闭腔热壁面不同高度处外法线方向上的温度及平均速度,与文献结果吻合较好。
