In the field of wind power generation, water level measurement in wind turbine towers is an important aspect. Due to the complex environment inside the wind turbine tower, the requirements for level meters are extremely high.
Guided wave radar level meter has the advantages of high precision, good stability, strong anti-interference ability, and so on, so it is more used in the wind turbine tower water level measurement.
The characteristics of the wind turbine tower water level are as follows: harsh environment: the internal environment of the wind turbine tower is relatively harsh, there are high temperatures, high humidity, vibration, corrosion and other problems, the reliability of the liquid level meter puts forward high requirements.
Measurement range: wind turbine tower water level height changes, the need for liquid level meter with a large measurement range to meet the needs of different working conditions of the measurement.
High precision requirements: in order to ensure the normal operation and safety of the fan, the water level needs to be measured accurately to avoid false alarms or omissions.
Difficulty in installation and maintenance: The installation position of the wind turbine tower is high and the internal space is limited, which brings certain difficulties to the installation and maintenance of the level meter.
Guided wave radar level meter adopts the principle of electromagnetic wave transmission on the guided wave rod, and calculates the liquid level height by measuring the time difference between the transmitted wave and the reflected wave.
Since the speed of electromagnetic wave propagation in the medium is almost constant, the measurement accuracy of the level meter is high. In addition, the guided wave radar level meter also has the advantages of strong anti-interference ability and good stability. A wind farm’s turbine tower is installed inside the guided wave radar level meter for monitoring the water level.
The level meter adopts anti-corrosion, explosion-proof design, and can work stably in harsh environments. According to the actual operation, the measurement accuracy of the level meter meets the measurement requirements of the wind farm. In addition, the level meter also has an automatic calibration function, which can be automatically adjusted according to the actual operating conditions to ensure the measurement accuracy.
The water level of the wind turbine tower of the wind farm has been effectively monitored, providing a guarantee for the normal operation of the wind turbine. At the same time, the reliability and stability of the guided wave radar level meter has also been verified, providing reference experience for level measurement under similar working conditions.
As a high-precision, high-stability level measurement instrument, guided wave radar level meter has a wide range of application prospects in wind turbine tower water level measurement.
With the continuous development of technology, it is believed that the performance and function of guided wave radar level meter will be further improved to provide more powerful support for the development of wind power generation field.
