TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wind power generation, in particular to an emergency yawing and automatic crosswind method and system for a wind turbine generator. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of wind power generation technology, the safety and reliability of wind turbine generators have become the focus of the industry. Currently, the safety chain circuit of mainstream wind turbine generators (such as MY1.5MW and MY2.0MW models) is usually composed of a safety module or a safety relay. When the safety chain is disconnected due to a fault (such as overspeed, abnormal vibration, etc.), the 24V control power supply of the related DO point will be forcibly cut off, causing the key actuators such as hydraulic pumps and yaw systems to be unable to operate. Although this design ensures the safe shutdown of the unit in abnormal conditions, it also brings significant problems: after the safety chain is disconnected, the unit completely loses its yawing ability and cannot adjust the direction of the nacelle to achieve emergency crosswind protection or fault recovery, especially in extreme weather or sudden mechanical failure, which may exacerbate the risk of equipment damage and even cause safety accidents.
[0003] Traditional emergency yawing solutions rely on independent redundant hardware systems, such as completely separate control circuits or backup power supplies. Although such methods can partially solve the problem, they have the drawbacks of high cost, complex maintenance, and insufficient response speed. In addition, existing automatic crosswind technology usually triggers protection actions based on a single sensor signal (such as rotor speed), lacks multi-condition collaborative judgment and intelligent control capabilities, and thus leads to false triggering or response lag, making it difficult to adapt to complex working conditions. For example, when the rotor speed exceeds the limit but the wind speed fluctuates dramatically, the traditional crosswind protection may not be able to accurately adjust the yaw angle, causing the unit to continue to bear asymmetric loads and affecting the structural life. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application aims to provide an emergency yawing and automatic crosswind method and system for a wind turbine generator, which aims to solve the problem of existing wind turbine generators losing yawing ability completely after the safety chain is disconnected, and being unable to perform emergency crosswind protection or fault recovery, as well as the problems of traditional emergency yawing solutions being costly, complex to maintain, slow to respond, and difficult to adapt to complex working conditions.

[0010] In the automatic crosswind control stage, the yawing speed and the angle offset are dynamically adjusted based on the real-time feedback of the blade root bending moment and the wind speed change rate, so that the unit maintains the aerodynamic load balance in the non-against-wind state.
[0011] Optionally, the real-time monitoring of the safety chain on-off state is performed, and when it is detected that the safety chain is disconnected, an emergency power switching module is activated to switch the power supply of the yawing system to an emergency power supply circuit independent of the safety chain. The specific process is as follows:
[0012] The voltage signals at both ends of the safety chain are collected in real time by the voltage sensor arranged in the safety chain circuit, and the voltage signals at both ends of the safety chain are continuously received and analyzed by the control unit.

[0033] During the execution of the instruction, if the R value falls below R1 and lasts for 60 seconds, the emergency yaw control is terminated and the normal yaw logic is restored.
[0034] Optionally, the specific process of dynamically adjusting the yaw rate and the angle offset based on the real-time feedback of the blade root bending moment and the wind speed change rate in the automatic crosswind control stage is:

[0041] Optionally, the safety chain recovery signal is continuously monitored, and when the safety chain is closed and the risk assessment parameter is lower than the safety threshold, the emergency mode is exited and switched to main power supply.
[0042] Based on the same inventive concept, the application also provides a wind turbine emergency yaw and automatic crosswind system for implementing the wind turbine emergency yaw and automatic crosswind method, comprising:

[0051] The technical scheme of the application has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0052] Through the design of the emergency power supply loop independent of the safety chain, when the safety chain is disconnected due to over-speed, abnormal vibration and other faults, the emergency power supply switching module can be activated immediately to ensure the continuity of the yaw system power supply, solving the core pain point that the yaw system is paralyzed when the safety chain is disconnected in the traditional scheme, so that the unit still has the ability to actively adjust the direction of the nacelle under abnormal shutdown state; especially in extreme weather (such as strong typhoon) or sudden mechanical failure scene, emergency yaw can be realized to achieve emergency crosswind protection, avoiding the nacelle continuously facing strong wind load, significantly reducing the structural damage risk of key components such as blades and tower, and effectively reducing the probability of safety accidents.
[0053] Based on the fusion algorithm of multi-dimensional data such as vibration spectrum, impeller speed, environmental wind speed and nacelle load distribution, a dynamic risk assessment model is constructed, which realizes the stereoscopic evaluation of the unit operation state compared with the simple trigger mechanism of the traditional scheme relying on a single sensor (such as impeller speed); for example, in the scene of wind speed fluctuating sharply but impeller speed being temporarily over-limit, through the cooperative analysis of vibration spectrum and load distribution data, non-dangerous working conditions can be accurately identified to avoid the false trigger problem of the traditional scheme; and when there is a real overload risk (such as vibration abnormality accompanied by load mutation), the risk assessment parameter can be quickly generated to trigger the corresponding control strategy, shorten the response lag time, and significantly improve the decision accuracy and timeliness of the system under complex working conditions.
[0054] The hierarchical control strategy (first emergency yawing to wind, second multi-stage gradual crosswind control) and the dynamic adjustment mechanism based on real-time feedback of the blade root bending moment form a closed-loop control system from risk response to load optimization; when the risk parameter exceeds the first threshold, the emergency yawing of the preset angle is used to quickly adjust the cabin direction and quickly reduce the head-on wind load; when entering the second control stage, the yaw rate and angle offset are dynamically adjusted in real time by combining the wind speed change rate and the blade root bending moment feedback, so that the unit maintains the aerodynamic load balance in the non-wind direction.
[0055] The complex hardware systems such as completely separated redundant control loop and backup power supply in the traditional scheme are abandoned, the software-defined intelligent control strategy and the flexible switching technology of the emergency power supply are used, the hardware cost and the maintenance complexity are significantly reduced while the reliability of the yawing system is maintained; at the same time, the introduction of the multi-source signal fusion and the hierarchical control algorithm enables the unit to realize adaptive adjustment in a wider wind speed range, and further improves the utilization efficiency of wind resources and the stability of power generation.

[0064] After receiving the activation instruction, the electromagnetic relay group performs a contact switching action, disconnects the conventional power supply loop connection, and simultaneously closes the emergency power supply loop connection, so that the power supply of the yaw system is independently provided by the emergency power supply.
[0065] Step two, synchronously collect unit vibration spectrum, impeller speed, environmental wind speed and cabin load distribution data, and generate dynamic risk assessment parameters based on multi-source signal fusion algorithm.
[0066] In some embodiments, the specific process of synchronously collecting unit vibration spectrum, impeller speed, environmental wind speed and cabin load distribution data, and generating dynamic risk assessment parameters based on multi-source signal fusion algorithm is as follows:
[0067] The main bearing axial vibration spectrum of the unit, the instantaneous value and the rate of change of the impeller speed, the three-dimensional ultrasonic wind speed value at the hub height, and the strain data of the front and rear flanges of the cabin are synchronously obtained by the distributed sensor array;
[0068] The amplitude integral of each characteristic frequency in the frequency band of 5Hz to 200Hz is extracted by fast Fourier transform of the vibration spectrum, and a mechanical abnormality index is generated in combination with the rate of change of the impeller speed;
[0069] The turbulent intensity coefficient is calculated according to the 10-second sliding mean value and the standard deviation of the environmental wind speed, and the load asymmetry coefficient is calculated synchronously based on the strain difference of the front and rear flanges of the cabin;
[0070] The mechanical abnormality index, the turbulent intensity coefficient and the load asymmetry coefficient are input into the fuzzy membership function, and multi-dimensional coupling operation is performed through a weighted factor matrix to output a normalized evaluation parameter representing the dynamic risk level of the unit; wherein the weight distribution is adaptively adjusted according to the percentage of the impeller speed overrun.
[0071] In some embodiments, the specific process of inputting the mechanical abnormality index, the turbulent intensity coefficient and the load asymmetry coefficient into the fuzzy membership function, and performing multi-dimensional coupling operation through a weighted factor matrix to output a normalized evaluation parameter representing the dynamic risk level of the unit is as follows:
[0072] The fuzzy membership functions of the mechanical abnormality index, the turbulent intensity coefficient and the load asymmetry coefficient are established, and the membership values μ M , μ T , μ L corresponding to the mechanical abnormality index, the turbulent intensity coefficient and the load asymmetry coefficient are calculated respectively.
[0073] A dynamic weight factor matrix is generated according to the percentage of the overspeed of the impeller, as shown in the following formula (1):
[0074]
[0075] wherein W(s) represents the dynamic weight factor matrix; w M (s) represents the weight factor of the mechanical anomaly index; w T (s) represents the weight factor of the turbulence intensity coefficient; w L (s) represents the weight factor of the load asymmetry coefficient; s represents the percentage of the overspeed of the impeller; w M (s) is positively correlated with s;
[0076] A normalized risk assessment parameter is generated by the following formula (2):
[0077]
[0078] wherein R represents the normalized risk assessment parameter, with a value range of [0, 1], and is used to trigger a hierarchical control instruction; max(μ M +μ T +μ L ,1) represents the maximum value of the sum of the three numerators and 1;
[0079] When the preset threshold is exceeded, the corresponding hierarchical control instruction is triggered; wherein the membership function adopts a piecewise linear function, and the turning points of the piecewise linear function are dynamically corrected according to historical fault data of the unit.
[0080] Step three, according to the comparison result of the risk assessment parameter and the preset threshold, a hierarchical control instruction is input to the yaw drive; wherein when the risk assessment parameter exceeds a first preset threshold, an emergency yaw-to-wind of a preset angle is executed; when the risk assessment parameter exceeds a second preset threshold, a multi-stage gradual automatic crosswind control is started.
[0081] In some embodiments, the specific process of inputting a hierarchical control instruction to the yaw drive according to the comparison result of the risk assessment parameter and the preset threshold is as follows:
[0082] An interval division of a first threshold R1 and a second threshold R2 is established; wherein 0.5≤R1<R2≤0.8;
[0083] When the risk assessment parameter R∈[R1,R2), an emergency yaw-to-wind instruction is generated; based on the current environmental wind speed vector direction, the minimum deviation angle θ min is calculated with the cabin axis, and θ min ±15° is taken as a safety interval, and the yaw system is controlled to execute one-way yaw at 50% to 70% of the rated speed until the cabin axis and the wind direction reach the angle θmin and the maintenance time is more than 30 seconds;
[0084] When R≥R2, the automatic crosswind control instruction is generated; according to the product coefficient of the real-time value of the blade root bending moment and the wind speed variation rate, the yaw rate and the angle offset are dynamically set, the yaw direction is corrected every 10 seconds, the cabin axis and the wind direction form a dynamic angle of 15°-25°, and the load asymmetry coefficient is reduced to below the safety threshold;
[0085] During the execution of the instruction, if the R value falls below R1 and lasts for 60 seconds, the emergency yaw control is terminated and the normal yaw logic is restored.
[0086] Step four, in the automatic crosswind control stage, based on the real-time feedback of the blade root bending moment and the wind speed variation rate, the yaw rate and the angle offset are dynamically adjusted to maintain the aerodynamic load balance of the aircraft in the non-crosswind state.
[0087] In some embodiments, in the automatic crosswind control stage, based on the real-time feedback of the blade root bending moment and the wind speed variation rate, the specific process of dynamically adjusting the yaw rate and the angle offset to maintain the aerodynamic load balance of the aircraft in the non-crosswind state is as follows:
[0088] The bending moment measurement value of the bidirectional strain gauge at the blade root is collected in real time, and the absolute value ΔM of the difference between the front and rear blade root bending moments is calculated; the 10-second sliding variation rate of the environmental wind speed is obtained synchronously
[0089] ΔM and are input into the product compensator to generate a dynamic adjustment coefficient, as shown in the following formula (3):
[0090]
[0091] Wherein, K represents the dynamic adjustment coefficient; V ref represents the rated wind speed;
[0092] According to the interval of K value, the yaw rate control mode is selected; when K≤0.3, the current yaw rate is maintained and the angle offset is fine-tuned every 5 seconds by ±2°; when 0.3
[0093] After each yaw action is completed, the standard deviation σ M of the blade root bending moment is recalculated, and if σ M is reduced by more than 10% compared with the previous time, the current control parameter is maintained, otherwise the gain coefficient of K is increased by a step of 0.1 until σM Stable within the allowable fluctuation range.
[0094] In some embodiments, the safety chain recovery signal is continuously monitored, and when the safety chain is closed and the risk assessment parameter is lower than the safety threshold, the emergency mode is exited and switched to main power supply.
[0095] The voltage signal is collected in real time by the voltage sensor in the safety chain circuit, and when the voltage value is detected to be higher than the preset conduction threshold (such as 24VDC) for 5 seconds, it is determined that the safety chain is physically closed; the safety chain logic state is verified synchronously, and a handshake pulse signal is sent from the control unit to the safety chain, and if the correct response code is received for 3 times in succession, it is confirmed that the safety chain function is restored.
[0096] The dynamic risk assessment module updates the normalized parameter R every 2 seconds, and when the R value is lower than the exit threshold R0 for 10 consecutive sampling periods, the recovery condition is triggered, and R0=0.4, which is lower than the first level threshold R1=0.5 in step three; additionally, the standard deviation σ of the blade root bending moment is verified M whether it is lower than 1.2 times the historical running average, to ensure that the load fluctuation is within the normal range.
[0097] The control unit generates a two-stage switching instruction: first, the yaw system load is gradually migrated to the main power supply, and a 0.5 second transition period is maintained through parallel power supply mode, and then the electromagnetic relay group performs reverse switching action, disconnects the emergency power supply contact and closes the main power supply circuit; after switching is completed, a self-checking program is started to verify the matching degree of the yaw driver feedback current and the main power supply voltage, and if the deviation exceeds 5%, it is automatically switched back to the emergency power supply and an alarm is triggered.
[0098] A recovery lock timer is set, and the switching permission is unlocked only after the safety chain is closed and R<R0 state lasts for 60 seconds, to avoid false action caused by transient interference; if the main power supply is detected to be abnormal (such as voltage drop or phase out of step) during switching, the switching is immediately aborted and the emergency power supply is maintained, and at the same time, the fault code is uploaded to the SCADA system. Through the dual verification of physical voltage detection and logic handshake signal, false recovery judgment caused by contact sticking or signal interference is avoided, and the safety chain is ensured to be truly available; the exit condition lower than the emergency trigger threshold is used, and the load stability criterion is superimposed, to prevent the unit from exiting the protection mode too early in the critical risk state; through parallel power supply transition and self-checking mechanism, seamless switching of the yaw system power supply is realized, to avoid yaw out of control caused by power interruption and ensure the continuity of aerodynamic load control; the recovery lock timer and abnormal switching function effectively suppress the influence of power grid fluctuation or transient fault, and improve the decision stability of the system in complex environment.
