Application of BeiDou and UWB Fusion Positioning in Wind Farm Inspection Service
In recent years,in order to achieve China's dual-carbon goals,the wind power industry has entered a period of rapid development,and the installed capacity has increased dramatically.New energy inspection business has become increasingly important.Wind farm stations are mostly distributed in sparsely populated areas such as the sea,mountains and plains and the surrounding infrastructure is poor.In order to improve the accuracy and efficiency of inspection and ensure the safety of personnel control,it is particularly important to obtain personnel location information.Since a single positioning technology cannot meet the outdoor positioning requirements of wind farms and the indoor positioning requirements such as wind turbine towers and booster stations,a fusion scheme based on BeiDou and Ultra-Wide Band(UWB)positioning technologies is proposed.In this scheme,BeiDou positioning technology is used for the accurate positioning of outdoor personnel and vehicles in wind farms.Combined with UWB technology,high-precision personnel positioning in the blind area of internal positioning of wind turbine towers is completed.Based on high-precision location information,a smart safety control center is established.A positioning management platform that can be searched,prevented and controlled is created.The accurate inspection of wind farm equipment is realized.Experimental results show that the scheme can effectively improve the accuracy and efficiency of inspection and has good application prospects.
