The invention relates to the technical field of
wind power generation, and discloses a mechanical variable-
pitch protection system and a wind
turbine generator. The mechanical variable-
pitch protection system comprises an
energy storage device, a transmission device, a transmission shaft, a main shaft and blades which are connected in sequence; the variable
pitch driving mechanism is connected with the
energy storage device through the transmission device and connected with the blades. The mechanical variable-pitch
protection system has a first state that blades rotate to drive a main shaft to rotate, a transmission shaft rotates, a transmission device acts, and
kinetic energy is stored in an
energy storage device; and in the second state, when the control module receives a shutdown
signal and a failure
signal of the electrically-driven variable pitch
system, the energy storage device releases energy, and the blades are driven to rotate to the 90-degree
feathering position through the transmission device and the variable pitch driving mechanism. According to the mechanical variable-pitch protection
system, when the wind
turbine generator set is
shut down emergently and the
electric drive variable-pitch
system fails, the blades are driven to rotate to the 90-degree
feathering position, energy input is reduced,
speed reduction of the wind
turbine generator set is achieved, and overspeed and accidents are prevented.
