AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Under conditions of deep voltage drop at the generator terminals, the peak value of the stator fault current of the doubly fed wind turbine generator is large. The existing low voltage ride-through protection strategy has limited suppression effect, resulting in a lack of effective damping in the fault circuit, slow decay of the stator fault current, and a long transient transition process of the unit. This may cause the protection circuit to be activated multiple times, resulting in the unit being out of control for a long time.

Method used

By monitoring the rotor current and DC bus voltage, the stator current fault condition is determined. First and second low voltage ride-through protection circuits (Crowbar protection circuits) are used to suppress the fault. The activation and deactivation of the protection circuits are controlled according to the fault severity and delay time to ensure effective suppression of current faults.

Benefits of technology

It effectively suppresses the stator fault current of the doubly-fed wind turbine, ensuring the stable operation of the wind turbine generator set and avoiding the phenomenon of the unit being uncontrolled for a long time and the resistance energy consumption exceeding the limit due to the repeated activation of the protection circuit.

Description

[0002] Under the condition of deep voltage drop at the machine end, the peak value of the stator and rotor fault current of the unit is larger.

[0003] Typically, the method of activating the low voltage ride-through protection circuit is used to suppress the stator and rotor fault current of the wind turbine generator set. However, the low voltage ride-through protection strategy has limited effect on suppressing the above-mentioned stator fault current. The lack of effective damping in the fault circuit causes the stator fault current and stator flux to decay slowly. The transient transition process of the unit after the fault lasts for a long time, which is very likely to cause the protection circuit to be activated multiple times, resulting in the unit being out of control for a long time.

[0004] At present, no solution has been proposed that can effectively solve the unstable operation of wind turbines caused by excessive stator and rotor fault currents. Summary of the Invention

[0037] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] The present invention provides a method for suppressing stator current fault of a doubly-fed wind turbine generator, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0040] Step 101: Determine a stator current fault condition of a doubly-fed wind turbine generator according to the rotor current and the DC bus voltage;

[0041] Step 102: Activate the first low voltage ride through protection circuit and / or the second low voltage ride through protection circuit according to the stator current fault condition of the doubly fed wind turbine generator.

[0042] Specifically, the first low voltage ride through protection circuit and the second low voltage ride through protection circuit are both Crowbar protection circuits.

[0043] Furthermore, the step 101 includes:

[0044] When U dc >U dc,max And I r,max2 r r,max1 When , the stator current fault condition of the doubly-fed wind turbine generator is the first fault condition;

[0045] When U dc >U dc,max And I r >I r,max1 When , the stator current fault condition of the doubly-fed wind turbine generator is the second fault condition;

[0046] Among them, I r is the rotor current of the doubly fed wind turbine generator, Ir max1 is the first low voltage ride through protection circuit action limit, Ir max2 is the second low voltage ride through protection circuit action limit, U dc is the DC bus voltage, U dc,max is the maximum DC bus voltage.

[0047] In the best embodiment of the present invention, it is necessary to monitor the rotor current and DC bus voltage of the wind turbine generator set in real time before step 101; the action limit of the protection circuit in the present invention is set according to the actual working conditions.

[0048] Furthermore, the step 102 includes:

[0049] When the stator current fault condition of the doubly-fed wind turbine generator is the first fault condition, the first low voltage ride through protection circuit or the second low voltage ride through protection circuit is activated, and after a delay of Δt1 or Δt2, the first low voltage ride through protection circuit or the second low voltage ride through protection circuit is exited;

[0050] In the best embodiment of the present invention, at the moment of fault occurrence, U dc >U dc,max And I r,max2 r r,max1 At this time, it indicates that the electromagnetic torque amplitude of the wind turbine generator set exceeds the limit and the low voltage ride through protection circuit needs to be activated. However, since the limit is not exceeded, the low voltage ride through protection circuit is activated into the second-level protection circuit, which mainly increases the energy consumption of the protection circuit, absorbs excess energy, delays Δt2, and exits the low voltage ride through protection circuit.

[0051] ​​​​When the stator current fault condition of the doubly-fed wind turbine generator is the second fault condition, the first low voltage ride through protection circuit or the second low voltage ride through protection circuit is first activated, and after a delay of Δt1 or Δt2, the second low voltage ride through protection circuit or the first low voltage ride through protection circuit is activated, and after a delay of Δt2 or Δt1, the first low voltage ride through protection circuit and the second low voltage ride through protection circuit are exited.

[0052] In the best embodiment of the present invention, at the moment of fault occurrence, if U dc >U dc,max And I r >I r,max1 This indicates high rotor current and electromagnetic torque amplitudes, necessitating activation of the low-voltage ride-through protection circuit. The first low-voltage ride-through protection circuit is activated first, primarily to limit the fault current amplitude and reduce the impact damage of electromagnetic torque on the shaft system. After the fault current decays over a certain period of time (this time is determined by the rotor fault current decay characteristics), the second low-voltage ride-through protection circuit is activated, primarily to increase the protection circuit's energy consumption and absorb excess energy. Both circuits are set based on a fixed activation time. Δt1 and Δt2 are set based on actual operating conditions.

[0053] Δt1 is the activation time of the first LVRT protection circuit, and Δt2 is the activation time of the second LVRT protection circuit.

[0054] Specifically, the equivalent resistance of the first low voltage ride through protection circuit is equal to the equivalent resistance of the second low voltage ride through protection circuit.

[0057] The input module is used to input the first low voltage ride through protection circuit and / or the second low voltage ride through protection circuit according to the stator current fault condition of the doubly fed wind turbine generator.

[0063] Furthermore, the input module is used to:

[0064] When the stator current fault condition of the doubly-fed wind turbine generator is the first fault condition, the first low voltage ride through protection circuit or the second low voltage ride through protection circuit is activated, and after a delay of Δt1 or Δt2, the first low voltage ride through protection circuit or the second low voltage ride through protection circuit is exited;

[0065] When the stator current fault condition of the doubly-fed wind turbine generator is the second fault condition, the first low voltage ride through protection circuit or the second low voltage ride through protection circuit is first activated, and after a delay of Δt1 or Δt2, the second low voltage ride through protection circuit or the first low voltage ride through protection circuit is activated, and after a delay of Δt2 or Δt1, the first low voltage ride through protection circuit and the second low voltage ride through protection circuit are exited.
