    METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SENSING PARAMETERS OF ROTATING
    BLADES
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    This invention generally relates to the transmission of data and, more specifically, to the transmission of data from a sensor on a rotating blade to a control system.
    Wind turbines are increasing in size and capacity to meet increased electrical energy demands. To increase energy output, known rotor blade lengths have been increased, while the weight of known rotor blades has been decreased. As a result of the increased blade lengths and reduced blade weights, rotor blades may be subject to greater deflection forces and, thus, may be at a greater risk of blade stall, mechanical fatigue, and / or blade crash.
    Blade stress is a function of temperature and pressure, among other things. A blade crash is a catastrophic failure that can sometimes occur on a wind turbine. A blade subject to blade crash can actually disintegrate and fall from a wind turbine. As such, to increase the awareness of potential blade problems, it is desirable to measure blade parameters while the blade is rotating. For example, known wind turbines include sensors for detecting rotor blade deflection. Such sensors are typically mounted on the rotor blades. A sensor can be wired to a blade, but since the blade is rotating, retrieving data with a wired connection is generally difficult. Communication signals and / or power cables must be provided across a pitch axis of the rotor blades. As such, known wind turbines utilize, for example, slip ring methods to bring the communication or power cables from the rotor blade to the hub. However, such techniques increase assembly and maintenance time, and increase the complexity of collecting real-time data of temperature, strain, and / or pressure.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    The foregoing description of the present invention will be better understood when read in conjunction with the appended figures. To the extent that the figures illustrate diagrams of the functional blocks of various embodiments, the functional blocks are not necessarily indicative of the division between hardware circuits. Thus, for example, one or more of the functional blocks (eg, processors or memory) may be implemented in a single piece of hardware (eg, a general purpose signal processor or a block or random access memory, hard disk, or the like ). Similarly, the programs may be stand alone programs, may be incorporated as subroutines in an operating system, may be functions in an installed software package, and the like. It should be understood that the various embodiments are not limited to the arrangements and the instrumentality shown in the figures.
    As used herein, an element or step recited in the singular and proceeded with the word "an" or "an" should be understood as not excluding a plurality of the element or step, unless such an exclusion is explicitly stated. Furthermore, references to "one embodiment" of the present invention are not intended to be interpreted as excluding the existence of additional embodiments that also incorporate the recited features. Furthermore, unless explicitly stated to the contrary, embodiments "comprising" or "having" an element or a plurality of elements having a particular property may include additional such elements not having that property.
    Figure 1 is a side view of an exemplary wind turbine 100, such as, for example, a horizontal axis wind turbine. Wind turbine 100 includes a tower 102 that extends from a supporting surface 104, a nacelle 106 mounted on tower 102, and a rotor 108 coupled to nacelle 106. Rotor 108 includes a hub 110 and a plurality of rotor blades 112 coupled to hub 110. In the exemplary embodiment, rotor 108 includes three rotor blades 112. In an alternative embodiment, rotor 108 includes more or less than three rotor blades 112. In the exemplary embodiment, tower 102 is fabricated horn steel and includes a cavity (not shown) extending between supporting surface 104 and nacelle 106. Alternatively, tower 102 may be, for example, a lattice tower. It is appreciated, however, that the benefits and advantages of the invention may occur in a variety of structures, such as wind turbine 100, which have a rotor, such as rotor 108, and rotor blades, such as rotor blades 112. such, while the invention is described and illustrated in the context of wind turbine 100, the invention is not intended to be limited thereto. It is recognized that the invention can be utilized in a variety of systems and for a variety of applications, such as other types of turbines, generators, motors, wings or propellers on airplanes, helicopters, etc.
    During operation, blades 112 are positioned about rotor hub 110 to facilitate rotating rotor 108 to transfer kinetic energy from the wind into usable mechanical energy. As wind strikes blades 112, blades 112 are rotated and subjected to centrifugal forces and to various bending moments. As such, blades 112 deflect and / or rotate from a neutral, or non-deflected, position to a deflected position. Furthermore, a pitch angle of blades 112 can be changed by a pitching mechanism (not shown in Figure 1) that facilitates increasing or decreasing blade 112 speed, and which facilitates reducing tower 102 strike.
    Figures 2 and 3 illustrate an exemplary blade 112. Blade 112 extends from a blade root 212 adjacent to rotor hub 110 (shown in Figure 1), in a direction substantially normal to the axis of rotor 108 (shown in Figure 1) to a blade tip 214. For reinforcing this blade embodiment, a spar 220 is provided (see Figure 3) which comprises a web 226 and two spar flanges 222 and 224 that extend substantially parallel to peripheries 216 and 218 of rotor blade 112. In the exemplary embodiment , spar 220 has an I-profile. It will be appreciated that embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the particular construction of rotor blade 112 used in the embodiment described herein.
    During operation, loads, known as pivot loads, on rotor blade 112 may occur in the plane of the rotor blade 112, as indicated by double arrow A. Furthermore, loads normal to the rotor plane, known as shock loads, may occur as indicated by arrow B. Temperature differentials may be induced anywhere along rotor blade 112, for example, by ice adhering to, or sloughed off, blade 112.
    In the exemplary embodiment, and as shown in Figures 4-7, sensor elements 300 are provided on each rotor blade 112. As shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6, two sensor elements 300 are provided per blade 114. Specifically, in Figure 4, sensor elements 300 are coupled on opposite sides 216 and 218 of blade 112, such that shock loads on rotor blade 112 can be accurately sensed. In Figure 5, pivot loads on rotor blade 112 can be sensed because sensor elements 300 are coupled in the nib and end edge portions of rotor blade 112. In Figure 6, sensor elements 300 are directly juxtaposed in the region of the spar flange. In Figure 7, sensor elements 300 are coupled along a line that extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of rotor blade 112. Specifically, spatial separation of sensor elements 300 facilitates reducing the risk of simultaneous damage of both sensor elements 300 by force, lightning, or other destructive forces. '
    Neither the location of sensor elements 300 on blade 112 nor the number of sensor elements 300 per blade 112 is intended to be limiting. Rather, it is contemplated that in alternative embodiments, rotor blade 112 will include as many sensor elements 300 as are needed, or are desirable to optimize, or at least facilitate detection of, anomalous stress, strain, temperature, and / or other conditions of blades 112.
    Moreover, in the exemplary embodiment, and as shown in Figures 4-7, each sensor element 300 is operatively coupled, such as electrically coupled, to a data acquisition device 302. Each sensor element 300 transfers sensor data to data acquisition device 302. In an alternative embodiment, data acquisition device 302 polls and associated sensor element 300 for data at predetermined intervals. Each data acquisition device 302 is supplied with energy generated at blade 112. Alternatively, each data acquisition device 302 is supplied with energy generated at hub 110. For example, in one embodiment, energy from blade vibrations is collected and conditioned for use by data acquisition device 302. In an alternative embodiment, energy from delta pressure across each blade 112 is collected and conditioned for use by data acquisition device 302. In another alternative embodiment, energy is collected by solar panels (not shown) and conditioned for use by data acquisition. device 302. It will be appreciated that embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the particular method of providing energy to data acquisition device 302 used in the embodiment described herein.
    Accordingly, as shown in Figure 8, data acquisition device 302 includes a power converter 304. In the exemplary embodiment, power converter 304 also supplies power to associated sensor element 300. Furthermore, in the exemplary embodiment, data acquisition device 302 includes an analog to digital converter (ADC) 306 configured to convert an analog signal produced by sensor element 300 to a digital signal representative of the sensor data. In an alternative embodiment, ADC 306 is separate from data acquisition device 302 and is operatively coupled to sensor element 300 and data acquisition device 302. In the exemplary embodiment, data acquisition device 302 also includes a transceiver 308 which facilitates receiving sensor data from sensor element 300 and / or ADC 306, and transmitting a signal representative of the sensor data to a collection device, such as control system 500, described in more detail below, with an alternative embodiment, data acquisition device 302 includes separate a receiver and transmitter, rather than transceiver 308. In one embodiment, sensor element 300 may comprise one or more radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor tags to transmit sensor data. Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method that relies on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID sensors. RFID sensors coupled to blade 112 may collect blade data, temporarily store the data, and wirelessly transmit the data to data acquisition device 302 and / or an RFID reader (not shown). No internal power source is needed for passive RFID tags. As such, passive RFID tags may be formed in small packages. Furthermore, a cost of each passive RFID tag is low, whether such a tag is used as a temperature sensor, strain sensor, or a pressure sensor. As such, multiple RFID tags may be installed on each blade 112 to record, store, and transmit the physical conditions and / or operating conditions of each blade 112. An RFID reader may be mobile or may be installed in tower 102.
    In the exemplary embodiment, sensor element 300 and data acquisition device 302 are fabricated sufficiently thin to be adhered to a surface 301 (shown in Figures 4-7) of blade 112. In an alternative embodiment, sensor element 300 and data acquisition device 302 are covered by a coating sufficiently flat and smooth to facilitate preserving the aerodynamic qualities of blade 112. In another alternative embodiment, sensor element 300 and data acquisition device 302 are unitarily formed into one piece.
    During operation, each data acquisition device 302 is powered as described above. Data acquisition device 302, in turn, provides power to one or more associated sensor elements 300. If blade 112 is subjected to stresses and / or loads, each sensor element 300 collects data and transfers the data to the associated data acquisition device 302. Alternatively , each sensor element 300 collects and temporarily stores data. Data acquisition device 302 periodically polls associated sensor element 300 for data. The data is conditioned, such as converted from an analog signal to a digital signal, by ADC 306. Transceiver 308 then transmits the digital signal, which is representative of the sensor data, to control system 500.
    Figure 9 is a block diagram illustrating an exemplary control system 500 that may be used with wind turbine 100 (shown in Figure 1). In the exemplary embodiment, control system 500 is located within nacelle 106 (shown in Figure 1) and includes a bus 502 or other communications device to enable control system 500 to communicate information internally. Control system 500 also includes one or more processors 504 electrically coupled to bus 502. Processors 504 are configured to process information such as, but not limited to, a signal transmitted to control system 500 from data acquisition device 302. Furthermore, control system 500 includes a memory 506, such as a random access memory (RAM), a read-only memory 510, and / or one or more storage devices 508. RAM 506, ROM 510, and / or storage device 508 are coupled to bus 502 and configured to store and / or transfer information and instructions to be executed by processor 504. Alternatively, RAM 506, ROM 510, and / or storage device 508 are configured to store temporary variables and / or other information during execution of instructions by processor 504, Control system 500 also includes one or more input / output (I / O) device 512. Such devices 512 may include any device that enables control system 500 to provide output signals to wind turbine 100 to control yaw, pitch, blade temperature, blade brak ing, and / or any other signals in order to ameliorate anomalous conditions on blades 112. Further, control system 500 outputs signals to one or more computers 400 (shown in Figure 8) for controlling multiple wind turbines 100.
    Figure 10 is an pictorial schematic diagram of an exemplary wind turbine farm 402. Wind farm 402 may include one or more computers 400 for local control of one or more of a plurality of wind turbines 100 making up wind farm 402. Control system 500 of each wind turbine 100 within wind farm 402 is communicatively coupled to a network, such as a wired or wireless network. In addition, one or more computers 400 are communicatively linked to the network. Computer 400 is configured to control and / or monitor, at a central location, each wind turbine 100 by communicating and / or programmatically directing each control system 500. Further, as shown in Figure 11, a central server 404 is communicatively coupled to a plurality of computers 400 to facilitate monitoring and controlling a plurality of wind farms 402.
    During operation, signals are transmitted over the network from computer 400 to control system 500. Control system 500, in response, adjusts operation of wind turbine 100. The adjustment is in real-time or near real-time. As used herein, real-time refers to outcomes occurring at a substantially short period after a change in the inputs affecting the outcome, for example, computational calculations. The period may be an amount of time between each iteration of a regularly repeated task. Such repeated tasks are called periodic tasks. The time period is a design parameter of the real-time system that may be selected based on the importance of the outcome and / or the capability of the system implementing processing of the inputs to generate the outcome. Additionally, real-time events occur without substantial intentional delay. In contrast, as used herein, near real-time refers to outcomes occurring with some delay after a change in the inputs affecting the outcome. The delay may be intentional, such as due to a timer, or may be unintentional, such as due to latency within a network. Thus, in one embodiment, sensor data is analyzed to determine whether operating eharaeteristics of wind turbine 100 are necessary. In the exemplary embodiment, control system 500, upon receiving the sensor data signal from data acquisition device 302, analyzes the data and determines whether an adjustment is necessary. In an alternative embodiment, control system 500 sends the sensor data signal to computer 400. In another alternative embodiment, each computer 400 further transmits sensor data to a central server 404, which collects and / or analyzes sensor data from a plurality of wind farms 402 .
    Figure 12 is a flow chart illustrating an exemplary method 900 of monitoring operating data from wind turbine 100 (shown in Figure 1) having a plurality of turbine blades 112 (shown in Figure 1). Each blade 112 includes one or more sensor elements 300 operatively coupled to one or more data acquisition devices 302 (both shown in Figure 7). In the exemplary embodiment, the sensor data facilitates measuring blade acceleration in order to calculate loads present in blades 112. In alternative embodiments, the sensor data includes at least one of anomalous stress, strain, temperature, and / or other conditions of blades 112. gathered 902 by at least one sensor element 300 coupled to each blade 112 of wind turbine 100. The sensor data is then transferred 904 from sensor element 300 to an associated data acquisition device 302. In one embodiment, data is automatically transferred 904 to data acquisition device 302. In an alternative embodiment, data acquisition device 302 periodically polls sensor element 300 for sensor data and sensor element 300 transfers 904 sensor data in response to the polling.
    In the exemplary embodiment, data acquisition device 302 then generates 906 a signal representative of the sensor data and transmits 908 the signal to control system 500.
    In one embodiment, the signal is transmitted 908 to control system 500 using radio frequency (RF) transmission such as, but not limited to, over a wireless network. In alternative embodiments, data acquisition device 302 transmits 908 the signal to control system using any RF transmission techniques that enable functionality of the systems and methods described herein. In another alternative embodiment, the signal is transmitted 908 to control system 500 using a fiber optic connection between data acquisition device 302 and control system 500. In a further alternative embodiment, the signal is transmitted 908 to control system 500 using a heavily lightning suppressed metallic wire between data acquisition device 302 and control system 500. In yet another alternative embodiment, control system 500 transmits the signal to computer 400.
    In the exemplary embodiment, the signal representing the sensor data is analyzed 910 to determine whether adjustments are needed in the operating characteristics of wind turbine 100. Specifically, in one embodiment, the blade acceleration data is analyzed to determine loads present in blades 112. the exemplary embodiment, control system 500 analyzes 910 the signal for a wind turbine 100. In an alternative embodiment, computer 400 analyzes 910 the signal for a plurality of wind turbines 100 making up a wind farm 402. In a further alternative embodiment, central server 404 analyzes 910 the signal for a plurality of wind farms 402. The loads on blades 112 can be modified by adjusting 912 the operating characteristics of wind turbine 100.
    In an alternative embodiment, the sensor data and / or the signal representing the sensor data is stored by at least one of control system 500, computer 400, and / or central server 404. The stored data can be analyzed 910 to determine when maintenance is necessary on an individual wind turbine 100, a plurality of wind turbines 100 of a wind farm 402, and / or a plurality of wind turbines 100 spread across a plurality of wind farms 402.
    In another alternative embodiment, a finite element analysis (FEA) is performed by at least one of control system 500, computer 400, and / or central server 404. The FEA uses at least one of the sensor data and / or the representative signal transmitted by data acquisition device 302 to facilitate determining the position of sensors 300 in order to detect large changes in strain within blades 112. After positioning sensors 300 according to the FEA output, strain within blades 112 is observed by collecting and analyzing sensor data as described above . If a particular sensor 300 provides a strain reading that is different to an expected strain reading during operation of wind turbine 100, control system 500, computer 400, and / or central server 404 raises an alert to a user and / or maintenance personnel.
    It will thus be appreciated that various aspects of the present invention provide sensors and data acquisition devices that transmit data from a rotating blade to a control system without using an internal power source. A plurality of sensors are positioned on the blade depending on a modeling analysis. For example, stress distributions can be mapped in real-time and recorded. Alternatively, stress and / or acceleration measurements can be analyzed to determine whether adjustments to the operating characteristics of the wind turbine are necessary to reduce and / or balance blade loads.
    While the invention has been described in terms of various specific embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the claims.
