Feasibility Study Into Marinvent Sensor Adaptation for Wind Energy Sector

Marinvent公司希望评估其传感器在风能行业的潜力。该项目旨在在实际条件下集成和测试传感器，以评估其在风能领域的潜力。事实上，大气结冰对风电场的开发和运营有重大影响。为了达到最佳性能，涡轮机必须首先能够在转子叶片结冰时立即检测到。然而，没有传感器能直接测量结冰对叶片空气动力学的影响。这家加拿大公司的技术在风能行业也有同样的潜力，可以用来检测由复杂地形或附近风力涡轮机产生的尾流效应引起的湍流条件下结冰或流动变化的影响。通过减少结冰期间的功率损失，实时优化涡轮机，降低运营和维护成本，这可能会给行业带来重要的好处。因此，它将有助于加拿大作为寒冷气候和传感器技术解决方案的领导者的国际声誉，并将促进加拿大作为绿色能源解决方案的重要出口国的全球视野。在这种情况下，Marinvent公司希望与ergica合作，利用其作为风能行业专家的独特地位，拥有先进的风力涡轮机测试和研究设施。Nergica员工将在Marinvent传感器适应风能领域的可行性研究中获得的专业知识将是创新和独特的。nerica被授权对传感器进行技术审查，看看这项技术是否能够在结冰事件中检测到叶片失速的开始，甚至在正常运行期间优化转子性能。在这次审查中，nerica的发现是，与飞机相比，该传感器在风力涡轮机上的工作范围相似，与安装在叶片上的其他冰探测传感器相比，该装置的安装是可行的。

Marinvent Inc. wishes to assess the potential of it's sensors for the wind industry. This project aims at integrating and testing the sensor in real conditions to evaluate its potential in the Wind Energy sector. Indeed, atmospheric icing has a significant impact on the development and the operation of wind parks. To reach an optimal performance, the turbine must first be able to detect ice on the rotor blades immediately when it occurs. However, no sensors actually measure directly the effect of icing on the aerodynamics of the blade. The Canadian company's technology has the same potential for the wind industry and could be used to detect the effect of icing or flow variations during turbulent wind condition caused by complex terrain or wake effects from nearby wind turbines. This could lead to important benefits to the industry by reducing the power loss during icing, perform real-time turbine optimization and reduce operations and maintenance cost. Consequently, it will contribute to Canada's international reputation as a leader in cold climate and sensor technology solutions and will promote the global view of Canada as a prominent exporter of green energy solutions. In this context, Marinvent Inc. would like to work with Nergica to make use of their unique position as wind industry experts with an advanced wind turbine testing and research facility. The expertise that Nergica employees will acquire on the feasibility study into Marinvent sensor adaptation for wind energy sector will be both innovating and unique. Nergica was mandated to do a technical review of the sensor to see if this technology could be able to detect the onset of stall of the blades during icing events or even optimize the rotor performance during normal operation. Nergica's findings during this review is that the sensor has similar range of operation on a wind turbine compared to an aircraft and that the installation of the device is feasible compared to other ice detection sensors installed on blades.
