Research on design and control method of lightning protection detection robot for wind turbine

Abstract

With the large-scale and high-power of wind turbines, as well as the remote location, harsh environment and high altitude of wind farms. Lightning weather seriously affects the normal operation of wind turbines. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a technology of UAV carrying manipulator. To solve this problem, this article proposes the idea of using drones to carry a robotic arm and transport cables to the blade tip for clamping. The tip grounding resistance of the fan is measured. Analyze whether the lightning protection system is in normal operation. This paper summarizes the unmanned lightning protection detection technology, wind resistance technology and cooperative control of wind turbines. The advantages and disadvantages of various technologies are analyzed and compared, and the problems that need further research are pointed out. The stability of the carrier arm UAV structure and the remote control of the high-altitude manipulator will be the research difficulties in this field. It provides a reference for further research on lightning protection unmanned detection of wind turbines.
