Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the existing wind turbine testing technology, the wind turbine control often adopts a dual-drive parallel PWM back-to-back wind power converter, which has high power and high cost

Considering that in the permanent magnet direct-drive wind power generation system, the full-power converter must carry all the power generated by the generator, and the capacity of the converter should be selected according to 100% power, and the capacity is relatively large, so it is not suitable for small power plants within 1.5kW. In the test of aerodynamic characteristics of wind tunnel with small power and small cross-section

Moreover, to measure the aerodynamic characteristics of a wind turbine in a wind tunnel, it is necessary to precisely control the speed of the fan within a certain range under different inflow conditions, which is inconsistent with the existing mature wind turbine control strategies on the market. Most of the wind turbine control strategies are to ensure that the wind turbine operates at the maximum output power position, and the control of the low-power wind turbine model is difficult. When the current is unstable or the incoming wind speed is disturbed, it is difficult to return the fan speed to the specified value. In the speed range, stall is prone to occur. So far, the existing technology does not have a mature, reliable and low-cost wind turbine speed control device suitable for measuring the aerodynamic characteristics of small-power wind turbines.
