The lightning protection system of the wind generating set comprises a blade lightning protection device, an environment detection device, a fan controller and a cloud server, wherein the blade lightning protection device is arranged on a blade, the environment detection device is arranged on a cabin shell, the fan controller is arranged in a cabin, and the environment detection device and the cloud server are connected with the fan controller; as shown in fig. 1-2, the blade lightning protection device includes a lightning receptor, a shield, and a ground conductor; the lightning receptor comprises a first lightning receptor 1 and a second lightning receptor 2, wherein the first lightning receptor 1 is arranged at the blade tip of the blade, and the second lightning receptor 2 is provided with a plurality of lightning receptors and is arranged at the blade surface of the blade; the shielding body comprises a metal net 4 and a flow guide strip 3, the first lightning receptor 1 is connected with the metal net 4 through the flow guide strip 3, and the metal net 4 is also connected with the second lightning receptor 2 and a grounding conductor.
Wherein the metal mesh 4 is arranged between the middle and the surface of the section of the blade shell; it can be understood that the metal mesh 4 is usually copper or aluminum, and the instantaneous current is very large when lightning strike occurs, so that the metal mesh 4 is easily melted and damaged at high temperature, and therefore, certain requirements are imposed on the cross-sectional area of the metal mesh 4, but the weight of the blade cannot be greatly increased because the weight of the blade has great influence on power generation, and the practice proves that the cross-sectional area of the metal mesh 4 is most suitable when 60-100mm2 in the current common fan blade model; the cross-sectional area of the aluminum wire 4 will be slightly larger than that of the copper wire 4 due to the difference in melting points of aluminum and copper.
In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the metal mesh 4 completely wraps the blade shell, that is, the metal mesh 4 is directly wound around the blade shell for one turn, and the blade is completely wrapped in this manner, so that the blade can be greatly prevented from being damaged by lightning strike, but the metal mesh 4 has a certain defect that the weight of the metal mesh 4 is relatively large.
Thus, in another embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the metal mesh 4 wraps only the joint of the upper and lower shells of the blade, because the joint of the upper and lower shells belongs to the edge of the blade, and the probability of lightning striking the edge of the blade is large. Therefore, in order to reduce the overall weight of the blade, in this embodiment, only the edge portions where the upper and lower shells of the blade are located are wrapped with the metal mesh 4. Because of the arrangement of the metal mesh 4, the second lightning receptor 2 on the blade needs to be connected with the metal mesh 4 through the flow guide strip 3; the second lightning receptor 2 needs to be connected to the metal mesh 4 by means of the deflector 3 as the first lightning receptor 1.
Because the shape of the tip part of the blade is inconvenient to wrap by using the metal net 4, a gap of 20-30cm is reserved between one end of the metal net 4 and the tip, and the first lightning receptor 1 is also connected with the metal net 4 by using the guide strip 3; the other end of the metal mesh 4 is located at the root to the middle section of the blade, wherein it is most preferable that the other end of the metal mesh 4 is located at the middle section of the blade, because the probability of hitting the latter half of the blade in a lightning strike exceeds 90%, so that the weight of the blade is prevented from increasing more while the effect of lightning protection is obtained, and it is preferable that the other end of the metal mesh 4 is located at the middle section of the blade; of course, a larger coverage of the wire 4 is also possible, and secondly, to further reduce the weight of the blade, the other end of the wire 4 may also be located in the tip-to-blade intermediate section.
In order to maintain the integrity and aerodynamic performance of the blade, the blade shell is provided with a placement groove, the guide strip 3 is wrapped with asbestos and placed in the placement groove, and the remaining gaps of the placement groove are filled with resin materials, so that the surface of the blade is kept complete and smooth. The purpose of the asbestos is to prevent the high temperature generated by the guide strip 3 during the guide from damaging the fixing resin and the blade, so that the high temperature resistant asbestos is used for protecting the blade.
The both ends of metal mesh 4 all are connected with the earthing conductor, and the earthing conductor sets up inside the blade shell to form the drainage structure of lightning arrester to water conservancy diversion strip 3 to metal mesh 4 to the earthing conductor, this structure can furthest protect the blade, thereby avoid causing structural damage to the blade because of the thunderbolt, lead to stopping production, thereby can furthest's protective apparatus and property not receive the loss.
The environment detection device comprises a meteorological information acquisition module and a lightning detector, wherein the meteorological information acquisition module and the lightning detector are both connected with the fan controller; the weather information acquisition module is used for acquiring weather information through a network and sending the weather information to the fan controller; the lightning detector is used for acquiring lightning information near the place where the fan is located and sending the information to the fan controller; the fan controller is used for sending the information acquired by the environment monitoring device to the cloud server and receiving an instruction of the cloud server to control the direction of the fan.
