Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of new energy, in particular to a device for suppressing secondary circuit harmonics of a wind turbine generator set. Background Art

[0002] The complementary energy systems of hydropower, wind power, and solar power represent a new load-based energy production model. This approach leverages the regulatory capacity of hydropower station reservoirs and integrates wind power, photovoltaic power, and hydropower stations to achieve complementary and mutually beneficial energy sources. Wind power boasts significant technological advantages and great development potential, and its penetration within the complementary energy structure of hydropower, wind power, and solar power continues to increase. However, the application of wind power to converters introduces significant harmonics, which have a significant impact on the wind power secondary circuit.

[0003] The secondary circuit of wind power refers to the circuit used to control, protect or power other equipment in the electrical system; it is mainly used to transmit signals, activate relays to trigger the operation of other electrical equipment; through the combination and connection of switches, relays, protection devices, control buttons, indicator lights and other components, it realizes the control and monitoring of various parts of the wind turbine system.

[0004] Current wind turbine harmonic control focuses primarily on reducing harmonic content in the power grid. However, a small amount of harmonics can enter the wind turbine's secondary circuit. Due to the high impedance of the secondary circuit, the harmonic voltage generated by the harmonic current entering the circuit is relatively large. Furthermore, loads such as the pitch controller in the circuit are sensitive to high-order harmonics (above the 11th order), making them prone to failure. Therefore, a device to suppress harmonics in the wind turbine's secondary circuit is needed to address this issue. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a device for suppressing harmonics in the secondary circuit of a wind turbine generator set, which is used to solve the harmonic problem generated in the application of the wind turbine generator set converter, can effectively reduce the harmonics entering the secondary circuit, and protect the secondary circuit equipment.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a device for suppressing harmonics in the secondary circuit of a wind turbine, including a wind turbine, which is electrically connected to a converter, and the converter end is electrically connected to a medium-voltage switchgear through a main transformer, and is connected to the grid load through the medium-voltage switchgear; the converter end is connected to the secondary circuit through an auxiliary transformer; and a passive filter is arranged after the auxiliary transformer.

[0007] Preferably, the fan is a double-winding fan, and an active filter is provided inside the fan.

[0008] Preferably, the converter is a dual-cabinet parallel converter.

[0009] Preferably, the passive filter includes a three-phase circuit, with U1, V1, and W1 of the three-phase circuit serving as input ends, and U2, V2, and W2 serving as output ends connected to the secondary circuit.

[0010] Preferably, inductors L1, L2, and L3 are respectively provided in the three-phase circuit, and the capacitor C is connected to the three-phase circuit in a triangle connection.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0012] The combination of passive filters and active filters has a larger filtering capacity than active filters. By installing active filters at the unit, the harmonics generated by the wind turbine are reduced. At the same time, passive filters are installed at the secondary circuit. The harmonics generated by the wind turbine are filtered by the passive filter after entering the secondary circuit, so that the harmonics in the secondary circuit meet national standards and reduce damage to secondary circuit equipment.
