Abstract
Description
受雷部の形状や形式は多々提案、実用化されている。例えば、特許文献2では、ブレードの先端表面に避雷突針を設けた避雷構造が提案されており、特許文献3では、ブレードの先端にロッド形状の受雷部を埋め込んだ避雷構造が提案されている。
しかし、これら特許文献2、3で提案されたレセプターの形状では、捕雷効果が十分でない。このため、図6に示すように、ブレード22の先端部にアルミニウムなどの金属製の受雷部20をブレード形状に沿って設け、該受雷部20に設けたアンカー部21を前記ブレード22に固定したものが提案されている。さらに、ブレードの最大幅部付近にも銅製の受雷部を設けたものが提案されている。
上記受雷部とブレードとは、少なくともそれぞれの表層部間にセラミックス部材が介在されるものであり、受雷部とブレードとの間の全周に亘ってセラミックス部材を介在させるのが望ましい。
前記セラミックス部材の配置に際し、前記ブレード表面と前記セラミックス部材表面とに亘り面一に形成されているのが望ましい。これによりブレードとセラミックス部材との界面への落雷による電界集中を回避することができ、空力的にも優れた性能が得られる。また、セラミックス部材表面と受雷部表面とを面一にすることで良好な空力性が得られ、その結果、発電能力が良好に維持される。
セラミックス部材には、各種セラミックスを用いることができ、本発明としては特定の種別に限定されるものではなく、適宜選択が可能である。好適には、例えばBN(ボロンナイトライド)、アルミナなどを用いることができる。
また、受雷部およびセラミックス材が取り付けられるブレードの材質は本発明としては特に限定されるものではなく、既知のものを用いてもよい。
また、受雷部では、ブレードへの取付を確実に行うため、アンカー部を設け、このアンカー部をブレードに固定するようにしてもよい。アンカー部は、セラミックス部材の空洞部を貫通してブレード内に達して位置することで、セラミックス部材の作用を損なうことなくブレードへの固定が確実になされる。特にセラミックス部材に挿通孔を設け、これにアンカー部材を挿通させることで、セラミックス部材がブレードとブレードに固定されたアンカー部とで保持される効果もある。保持効果を高めるため、セラミックス部材の挿通孔をアンカー部の形状に合わせ、挿通後に、アンカー部側壁がこの挿通孔に緊密に接触した状態になるようにしてもよい。
また、ブレードに対するアンカー部の固定は、ブレードに設けた係止構造にアンカー部を係止することによって行ってもよく、接着剤によって固定するものであってもよい。また、これらを組み合わせて固定を行うものであってもよい。
なお、以下の説明におけるテーパ形状及び逆テーパ形状は、ブレードの面を見る方向での形状を意味する。
図1は、本発明の避雷構造に用いられるアルミニウム合金製の受雷部1とセラミックス部材10とを示すものである。
受雷部1およびセラミックス部材10とは、ブレード5に連なる形状を有し、それぞれを組み付けた際には表面は面一になるように形成されている。
受雷部1は扁平な形状を有し、先端側ほど細幅で、かつ厚さが小さくなるテーパ形状を有しており、その先端は小径な湾曲形状を有している。
受雷部1の底部では、周縁部に受雷部長手方向に交差した平端面1aを有しており、該平端面1aに囲まれるように、受雷部長手方向に突設して伸長する板状のアンカー部3が設けられている。板状のアンカー部3の先端部3aは、先端に向けて幅が大きくなるテーパ形状を有し、先端は湾曲形状に形成されている。また、該先端側には、接着剤を回り込ませるための導入孔4が幅方向に長孔形状で形成されている。
上記セラミックス部材10のアンカー部挿通孔11は、アンカー部3が挿入された状態で、アンカー部3の外面がほぼ隙間なく接する形状を有しており、これにより、セラミックス部材10がアンカー部3によって保持される作用が得られる。
セラミックス部材10の平坦面10bには、ブレード5の端面を接面する。また、アンカー部3の先端側は、アンカー部挿通孔11を越えてブレード5側に位置しており、これを接着剤によってブレード5の内側に接合する。この際に接着剤が導入孔4に回り込むことで接着強度を高める。
なお、ブレード5は、厚さ方向に分割した分割ブレードを接合して構成したものであってもよく、この接合の際に、上記受雷部1およびセラミックス部材10を固定することができる。厚さ方向に分割した分割ブレードを用いることで、アンカー部3の固定などを容易に行うことができる。特に、分割ブレードを用いることで、アンカー部3の先端部3aの逆テーパ形状と、ブレード5のテーパ形状とを係止する際に、固定作業を容易に行うことができる。なお、アンカー部3には、図2に示すように接地線6を電気的に接続し、該接地線6の端部側を接地する。
上記受雷部1およびセラミックス部材10は、風力発電機の各ブレードに取り付けることができる。
図3(a)は、受雷部100に設けたアンカー部103を細幅に形成し、セラミックス部材110の厚さを越えない長さにした例を示すものである。アンカー部103は、セラミックス部材110に形成したアンカー部挿入穴111に挿入され、接着剤などにより固定されるものである。
セラミックス部材110は、アンカー部挿入穴111を除いて中実に形成され、ブレード接合側は、ブレード105よりも細幅で、ブレード105の基端側に向けて徐々に幅広となるテーパ部112で形成されている。一方、ブレード105には、該テーパ部112が係止するように、先端側に向けて徐々に幅が狭くなる逆テーパ形状のテーパ溝部106が形成されている。上記テーパ部112とテーパ溝部106とを係止して接着剤などにより固定することで、セラミックス部材110をブレード105に強固に接合することができる。また、絶縁性を有するテーパ部112の角部に電界が集中することもない。
また、セラミックス部材210の厚さを大きくすることで、受雷部材200とブレード205の端面との距離が大きくなり、受雷部材200で捕雷した際に、ブレード205の端面に影響が生じるのを防ぐことができる。なお、この例では、アンカー部203先端を直線状に形成している。
図3(d)は、図3(b)のセラミックス部材とほぼ同じ厚さのセラミックス部材410を有しており、受雷部400に設けられているアンカー部403の長さもこれに合わせて大きくなっている。この例では、ブレード405内に位置するアンカー部403の先端は、湾曲形状に形成されている。
以上、本発明について上記実施形態に基づいて説明を行ったが、本発明は上記実施形態の内容に限定されるものではなく、本発明の範囲内で適宜の変更が可能である。
なお、解析には,解析ソフトMARC2007R1(MSC Software社製)を使用し、ブレード先端部より1mの距離に点電荷を配した。ブレード先端部真上を0°とし、±30°、±60°、±90°の位置、および±90°の位置からさらに真下に200mm、500mm下げた位置に点電荷を配して解析を実施した。その際、ダウンコンダクタ端部を固定電位とした。
