The invention provides a wind generating set, a differential speed regulation device and a control method thereof, the wind generating set comprises the differential speed regulation device, a multi-port converter and an electro-magnetic synchronous generator, and the differential speed regulation device comprises a
permanent magnet motor, a differential planetary
gear train, a quasi planetary
gear train and a speed regulation motor. A
permanent magnet motor rotor is connected with a differential planetary
gear train planet carrier, and a speed regulating motor rotor is connected with a quasi planetary gear
train sun gear. The differential planetary gear
train sun gear drives the electro-magnetic synchronous generator rotor to operate at a first preset rotating speed. One port of the multi-port converter is connected with the
permanent magnet motor stator, one port is connected with the speed regulation motor
stator, and the other port is connected with the electro-magnetic synchronous generator rotor through the
slip ring. According to the differential speed regulation device, variable-speed input, self-energized speed regulation and constant-speed output are achieved, and the differential speed regulation device is compact in overall structure, small in size and light in weight; the
black start can be realized without taking power from a
power grid; and the electro-magnetic synchronous generator is directly connected to the grid, so that the
power grid supporting capacity is high.
