Method for repairing major structural damage reinforcement of main beam of wind turbine blade
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of wind turbine blades, in particular to a method for repairing major structural damage of a main beam of a wind turbine blade.
Background
Wind turbines are often operated in seas or remote mountaintop fields, and the environment is harsh. Wind generating sets operating in certain areas of China are subject to harsher environmental conditions, such as typhoons frequently occurring in coastal areas of southeast, low temperatures in winter in northern China, and the like. The wind turbine operated at present can not be completely adapted to the climate conditions of China, so that the damage and the fault of wind power equipment occur. The blade is one of key parts in the wind generating set, and the good design, the reliable quality and the superior performance of the blade are determining factors for ensuring the normal and stable operation of the set. Accordingly, the level of quality in the design and manufacture of wind turbine blades is of great importance and is considered a key milestone-type component of wind power generation systems. The main beam is a main bearing component of the blade structure, and the good strength and rigidity characteristics of the main beam are main technical indexes of the blade structure design.
With the increasing length of the blade and the increase of the weight of the blade, the wind power blade, although being designed to have enough strength and rigidity, has various problems in the service life of 20 years like other composite material components. Blade manufacturers generally give 3-5 years of quality guarantee period to the produced blades, but by integrating information of the blade manufacturers, host manufacturers, wind power plants and the like, due to immaturity of blade technology in early stage in China and no perfect maintenance system for the blades, defects hidden inside the blades are gradually revealed and broken under the action of wind pressure and rotary continuous fatigue load after the quality guarantee period of a large number of existing blades. At present, a large number of blades with breaking problems in a wind power plant are early products in China, blade manufacturers are already on the market to continue production, and the cost for re-customizing the blades of the whole unit (total 3 blades) is high, and the period is long. The difficulty of repairing the blade lies in repairing the damage of the main beam, but at present, a mature repairing method for major structural damage of the main beam does not exist at home and abroad.
