TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of wind turbines, and in particular to a standby power supply control device, a system, a wind turbine generator system and a method. BACKGROUND
[0002] When a long-blade wind turbine is shut down, a combination operating condition of specific wind speed, wind direction and rotor azimuth will cause cumulative vibrations on the blades. Such vibrations may lead to extremely rapid attenuation of blade life, posing a great risk. Typically, the probability of this risk can be greatly reduced by properly regulating a nacelle-wind direction angle or a blade pitch angle of the wind turbine, but this regulation is only possible if the wind turbine receives a sufficient high power supply. However, a standby power supply (including a diesel generator, an energy storage device, etc.) commonly used by the wind turbine can only work continuously for dozens of hours at the current technical level, and the time between hoisting and grid connection can last for several months. This means that the wind turbine cannot receive a continuous and effective high power supply after it is hoisted and before it is connected to the grid. SUMMARY
[0003] In view of this, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a standby power supply control device, a system, a wind turbine generator system and a method, which can effectively solve the problem of short continuous high power supply to the wind turbine when facing the risk of blade flutter between the hoisting and the grid connection in the prior art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0052] The technical solutions in embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments of the present disclosure in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present disclosure, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0057] In the prior art, after the installation of the wind turbine generator system is completed, the blades of the wind turbine may flutter before the wind turbine generator system is connected to the grid. The existing electric control technical solution can only reduce the flutter by regulating the nacelle-wind direction angle or rotor pitch angle of the wind turbine on the premise that the wind turbine is electrified. However, under the current technical conditions, it is difficult for the standby power supply to provide long-time continuous power supply for the wind turbine due to the insufficient endurance power. In the prior art, it is impossible to obtain an economical and feasible continuous high power supply.

[0115] In one implementation, the determining the vibration state of the blades on the wind turbine 150 according to the first vibration signal or the second vibration signal includes:
[0116] In operation S10, frequency domain analysis is performed on the first vibration signal to obtain a vibration index.
[0117] In operation S30, frequency domain analysis is performed on the first vibration signal or the second vibration signal respectively to obtain a corresponding vibration index.
[0118] If the vibration index is greater than a set index upper threshold, it is determined that the vibration state is abnormal vibrations; and if the vibration index is less than a set index lower threshold, it is determined that the vibration state is normal vibrations. The index upper threshold and the index lower threshold are both set according to a model of the wind turbine 150. Further, the index upper threshold and the index lower threshold are set according to the blade length of the model of the wind turbine, and specifically, the index upper threshold and the index lower threshold are obtained according to the statistics of operating data of the wind turbine.
[0119] The vibration index may be the acceleration of vibrations or the displacement amplitude of vibrations, which is not limited here. Preferably, the vibration index is the acceleration of vibrations, and accordingly, the index upper threshold and the index lower threshold are also acceleration values. Specifically, the first vibration signal obtained by the nacelle vibration detection unit 110 and the second vibration signal obtained by the sensor on the wind turbine 150 are converted from a time domain to a frequency domain, and frequency domain analysis is performed to obtain the amplitude of the signal. For example, the frequency band of the vibrations of the blades is (0.3Hz, 2.0Hz), and according to a model of the wind turbine 150, the index upper threshold is set to 0.05 and the index lower threshold is set to 0.005. If the obtained acceleration vibration index of the first vibration signal or the second vibration signal in the frequency band of the blades is greater than the index upper threshold, it is determined that the vibration state is abnormal vibrations. If the obtained acceleration vibration index is less than the index lower threshold, it is determined that the vibration state is normal vibrations.
[0120] In one implementation, the power supply control device further includes a storage battery 140, and the storage battery 140 is configured to supply power to the nacelle vibration detection unit 110 and the standby power supply start / shutdown control unit 120. The power supply control method of this embodiment further includes a battery first endurance method. The battery first endurance method includes:
[0121] setting the standby power supply 130 to automatically start based on predetermined time intervals according to an endurance duration of the storage battery 140, and setting a run duration of the standby power supply 130 after starting such that the standby power supply 130 periodically charges the storage battery 140.
[0122] According to the current state of the supply chain technology and the cost feasibility, the endurance duration of the storage battery 140 is several days to three months without charging. If extreme long-term operation is taken into account, charging is needed in the middle. For example, if it is confirmed that the longest time that the storage battery 140 can persist is about 10 days during model selection and design, then the standby power supply 130 is set to start periodically, for example, every 5 days, and the standby power supply 130 starts, it can charge the storage battery 140 and keep running for more than 2 h before it can automatically shut down, thereby ensuring the effective completion of charging.
[0123] The power supply control method of this embodiment further includes a battery second endurance method. The battery second endurance method includes:
[0124] acquiring a battery level of the storage battery, and sending the start command or the shutdown command to the standby power supply 130 according to the battery level to start the standby power supply 130 so as to charge the storage battery 140 or shut down the standby power supply 130 so as to stop charging the storage battery 140. For example, when the battery level of the storage battery 140 is lower than a first set battery level threshold, the start command is sent to the standby power supply 130. When the battery level is higher than a second set battery level threshold, the shutdown command is sent to the standby power supply 130.
[0125] The power supply control device further includes photovoltaic panels 160 and a charging / discharging controller 170 added according to the endurance duration of the storage battery 140. The power supply control method of this embodiment further includes a battery third endurance method. The battery third endurance method includes: driving the charging / discharging controller 170 to store electric energy of the photovoltaic panels 160 into the storage battery 140, and controlling the photovoltaic panels 160 to supply power to the nacelle vibration detection unit 110 and the standby power supply start / shutdown control unit 120 through the charging / discharging controller 170; and controlling, when confirming that the photovoltaic panel has no electric energy output, the storage battery to supply power to the nacelle vibration detection unit and the standby power supply start / shutdown control unit through the charging / discharging controller.
[0126] Specifically, the charging / discharging controller 170 is driven to store electric energy of the photovoltaic panels 160 into the storage battery 140 according to the battery level of the storage battery 140, and the photovoltaic panels 160 are controlled to supply power to the nacelle vibration detection unit 110 and the standby power supply start / shutdown control unit 120 through the charging / discharging controller 170. For example, when the battery level of the storage battery 140 is lower than the set threshold and the photovoltaic panels 160 are in a working state, the charging / discharging controller 170 is driven to store electric energy of the photovoltaic panels 160 into the storage battery 140, and the photovoltaic panels 160 are controlled to supply power to the nacelle vibration detection unit 110 and the standby power supply start / shutdown control unit 120 through the charging / discharging controller 170.
[0127] The power supply control method of this embodiment further includes a battery fourth endurance method, which is manual replacement. Specifically, if it is confirmed that the longest time that the storage battery 140 can persist is about 50 days during model selection and design, then the storage battery 140 may be replaced every 40 days, and the removed storage battery 140 may be charged for use next time.
[0128] The standby power supply start / shutdown control unit 120 and the nacelle vibration detection unit 110 may be integrated on the same hardware, or respectively arranged on different hardware.
[0129] The implementation software of the power supply control method of this embodiment may not be completely installed in the standby power supply control device, and the standby power supply and the standby power supply control device may be packaged into a whole to obtain an integrated standby power supply. Implementation programs of the first endurance method and the second endurance method may be located in the integrated standby power supply. It should be understood that this is a different implementation of the same method.
[0130] In the present disclosure, when the standby power supply 130 is shut down, the low-power storage battery 140 supplies power to the nacelle vibration detection unit, so that the vibrations of the wind turbine 150 can be detected. The power supplied and consumed by the storage battery 140 is in the range of 5 W to 40 W. In the case that there are vibrations of the wind turbine 150, the vibrations of the blades may be suppressed by a pitching or yawing action of the wind turbine 150, and the power consumed by this action is in the range of 10 kW to 200 kW. Only after the high-power standby power supply 130 is started can the wind turbine 150 be supplied with sufficiently high power to perform this action. That is, the storage battery 140 is an energy storage apparatus with low power consumption and low capacity, which can support vibration detection of the nacelle vibration detection unit but is not enough to support the operation of the wind turbine 150. The standby power supply 130 is an apparatus with high power and high capacity, which keeps silent at ordinary times and provides the necessary power for the wind turbine 150 to suppress the vibrations of the blades only when the wind turbine 150 vibrates. Thus, the present disclosure can save electric energy for the standby power supply 130 and ensure the standby power supply 130 to provide electric energy for suppressing vibrations to the wind turbine 150 when the vibration state of the wind turbine 150 is abnormal vibrations, and also has good economic efficiency. Thereby, the present disclosure can effectively solve the problems of short continuous high power supply to the wind turbine 150 between the hoisting and the grid connection, and poor economic efficiency in the prior art.

The vibration suppression action includes regulating a nacelle-wind direction angle or a blade pitch angle.
