Recently, the State Council issued the "Action Plan for Promoting Large-scale Equipment Renewal and Consumer Goods Trade-in", which mentioned that it will coordinate the expansion of domestic demand and deepen the supply-side structural reform, and implement four major actions: equipment renewal, consumer goods trade-in, recycling and recycling, and standard improvement; In terms of the implementation of recycling and recycling actions, the "Action Plan" clarifies that the research and development of residual life assessment technologies for wind power, photovoltaic, power batteries and other products and equipment will be accelerated, and the cascade utilization of product equipment and key components will be promoted in an orderly manner.
In the field of wind power and photovoltaics, ZEISS Power & Energy Quality solutions actively support the innovative development of energy companies and improve the productivity of new qualities. As a pioneer in the fight against climate change, ZEISS provides efficient quality control for energy enterprises in R&D, design, production, maintenance and repair through the combination of advanced hardware equipment and intelligent software, improves product quality and greatly reduces the cost of maintenance in the later stage of products, empowers the green industrial system, accelerates the construction of a zero-carbon energy system in the energy industry and industrial chain enterprises, and achieves a balance between energy economy, reliability and sustainability.
In response to the life assessment of wind power and photovoltaic products and equipment proposed in the Plan, ZEISS's MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) solutions in the wind power field can help energy companies establish maintenance standards for wind turbine components and promote the cascade utilization of key components of wind power equipment.
In recent years, with the continuous increase in domestic wind power installations, the demand for wind power operation and maintenance by energy companies is also expanding. However, in the face of the harsh and complex operating environment of wind farms and large-size parts, how to improve O&M efficiency and reduce O&M costs with efficient detection methods has become the focus of attention of wind power enterprises.
ZEISS handheld laser scanners can be used for 3D digital models of component wind turbines, providing core data for wind turbine load and life leveling, data transformation, and simulation analysis of component digital twins, improving the operation and maintenance efficiency of wind turbines. The working environment of wind turbine blades is very harsh, and the abrasion of sand, dust, ice and snow, and sea and land winds will lead to corrosion of wind turbine blades, causing changes in the surface roughness of the blades, as well as changes in airfoil shape and center of gravity, affecting power generation efficiency and even causing potential safety hazards.
Through the ZEISS handheld laser scanner, the operation and maintenance personnel can quickly digitize the corroded wind turbine blades in 3D, use the scanner laser line to collect fine details with high resolution, obtain the surface and contour data of the wind turbine blades, compare them with the theoretical CAD model, analyze the surface defects through professional software, obtain curve position and error information, provide high-quality data support for the subsequent technical transformation and maintenance of wind turbine blades, and improve operation and maintenance efficiency.
In order to ensure the reliability and maintenance economy of gas turbines in different operating modes, it is necessary to use measuring equipment to obtain the overall quality data of turbine blades, predict the life of turbine blades, and formulate a reasonable blade overhaul cycle plan. The life of gas turbine blades is mainly affected by steady-state creep, thermal fatigue, coating oxidation and damage caused by other operating characteristics of the unit. Unlike standard blade parts that have just left the factory, manufacturers only need to check a few key dimensional information to determine whether the quality of the blade is acceptable. For damaged turbine blades, O&M personnel need to quickly obtain the complete dimensional data of the blade in a short period of time and compare it with the original CAD model of the blade to determine the damage of the blade and decide whether to replace the blade parts. With the ZEISS optical 3D scanning device ATOS system, the operation and maintenance personnel can quickly capture high-precision and traceable measurement results, and in combination with ZEISS's professional all-in-one software, the full-field deviation between the actual 3D data and CAD data of the blades can be visualized, ensuring that the surface data of the turbine blades can be obtained safely, quickly and with high resolution, so as to ensure the efficient overhaul of the blades in the later stage.
ZEISS 3D optical measuring devices are perfectly adapted to the metrology requirements of industrial users, providing accurate and traceable measurement data even under harsh conditions, providing efficient quality solutions for product maintenance and repair in the wind power industry and minimizing product maintenance costs.
