[0068] Combination Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a workshop testing system for the yaw system of a wind turbine generator set, including a power control circuit 1 and a yaw test cabinet 2. The power control circuit 1 is connected to the yaw test cabinet 2 and is used to control the power supply to the yaw test cabinet. The yaw test cabinet includes: a yaw frequency converter 21, connected to each yaw motor 22, used to control the start, stop, direction and speed of the yaw motor; a current transformer 23, connected to the power supply cable of each yaw motor, used to measure the current signal of each yaw motor; a PLC 25, connected to the current transformer 23, the motor micro switch 24, the IBOX 26 and the touch screen 27 respectively, used to receive the current signals provided by the current transformer and the motor feedback signals provided by the motor micro switch, and also used to control the IBOX and the touch screen; the IBOX 26 is connected to the PLC 25 and is used to store the current signals and the motor feedback signals; the touch screen 27 is connected to the IBOX 26 and is used to display the current signals and the motor feedback signals.
[0069] This embodiment provides a workshop testing system for the yaw system of a wind turbine generator set. After the yaw system and yaw bearing are assembled, the yaw test cabinet controls the start, stop, speed and direction of the yaw motor, enabling the testing of multiple yaw motors in the yaw system. This reduces the requirements for the foundation bearing capacity and the strength of the debugging tooling during yaw debugging.
[0070] Optionally, the current transformer in the test cabinet collects the current signals of each yaw motor, the motor micro switch collects the motor feedback signals, and after the PLC receives the current signals and motor feedback signals of each yaw motor, it controls the IBOX to store the current signals and motor feedback signals. The touch screen displays the current signals and motor feedback signals, and then analyzes the force situation of each yaw motor based on the current signals and motor feedback signals. Based on the force situation of each yaw motor, it judges whether the load of each yaw motor is uniform. If the load of the yaw motor is uneven, the backlash is adjusted to make the load of each motor more uniform, thereby realizing the testing and adjustment of the yaw system and improving the performance of the yaw system.
[0071] Optionally, the power control circuit includes: a yaw test cabinet power supply module, one end of which is connected to a power supply, and the other end of which is connected to one end of the yaw motor power supply module and one end of the yaw motor brake power supply module respectively; the other end of the yaw motor power supply module is connected to the yaw motor brake power supply module via a frequency converter; and the other end of the yaw motor brake power supply module is connected to the yaw motor.
[0072] In some embodiments, the number of yaw motors is determined according to the design of wind turbine units with different capacities. The parameters of the yaw inverter are adjusted based on the number of yaw motors and their nameplate parameters to ensure that the output current of the yaw inverter can support the control of the start-up, shutdown, direction, and speed of all yaw motors. The yaw inverter and reactor inside the yaw test cabinet control the start-up, shutdown, and smooth operation of the yaw motors. The yaw motors drive the nacelle yaw bearings to rotate forward and backward via a connected yaw gearbox. A current transmitter in the yaw test cabinet is connected to each yaw motor to measure the current signal and microswitch feedback signal of each yaw motor. The IBOX in the yaw test cabinet stores the current signal and microswitch feedback signal of the yaw motors. The PLC and touchscreen in the yaw test cabinet can display the collected current signal and microswitch feedback signal of each yaw motor on the touchscreen for real-time viewing.
[0073] In some embodiments, the yaw test cabinet uses a 5G16 cable connected to a 400V power supply, and uses a 4×2.5 cable and a 5G1.5 cable to supply power, brake and provide feedback signals for each yaw motor respectively.
[0074] Optionally, combined Figure 2As shown, the yaw test cabinet includes a heater and a ventilation fan. The yaw test cabinet control module includes: one end of the first switch 700-F1 is connected to the power supply, and the other end is connected to one end of the second switch 700-F2, one end of the third switch 700-Q10, one end of the fourth switch 700-F200, and one end of the fifth switch 700-F3; the other end of the second switch 700-F2 is connected to the ventilation fan through the sixth switch 701-B1, and to the heater through the seventh switch 701-B3; the third... The other end of switch 700-Q10 is connected to the frequency converter; the other end of the fourth switch 700-F200 is connected to the yaw motor brake via the eleventh switch 705-Q200; the other end of the fifth switch 700-F3 is connected to one end of the level conversion submodule 700-T1; the other end of the level conversion submodule 700-T1 is connected to the PLC via the eighth switch 700-F4, to the current transmitter via the ninth switch 700-F5, and to the touch screen and IBOX via the tenth switch 700-F6.
[0075] Optionally, a heater is used to increase the temperature inside the yaw test cabinet; a ventilation fan is used to decrease the temperature inside the yaw test cabinet.
[0076] Optionally, the switching sequence of the power control circuit includes:
[0077] Step S01: Close the first switch 700-F1 to supply power to the yaw test cabinet;
[0078] Step S02: Close the fifth switch 700-F3 to supply power to the level conversion submodule 700-T1;
[0079] Step S03: Close the fourth switch 700-F200 to supply power to the yaw motor brake;
[0080] Step S04: Close the third switch 700-Q10 to supply power to the yaw inverter;
[0081] Step S05: Close the second switch 700-F2, the sixth switch 701-B1, and the seventh switch 701-B3 to supply power to the heater and the shunt fan inside the yaw test cabinet;
[0082] Step S06: Close the eighth switch 700-F4, the ninth switch 700-F5, and the tenth switch 700-F6 respectively to start the PLC, touch screen, and IBOX;
[0083] Step S07: After closing the eleventh switch 705-Q200 to supply power to the yaw brake, release the brake.
[0084] In some embodiments, after the yaw test cabinet is started via the power control circuit, the yaw motor's start / stop, rotation direction, and rotation speed are controlled by the yaw inverter. The yaw motor's current signal and the motor microswitch feedback signal are observed on the touchscreen to see if they meet preset conditions. If not, the clearance between the gears in the yaw gearbox and the yaw bearing is adjusted until the yaw motor's current signal and the motor microswitch feedback signal meet the preset conditions. Then, the yaw debugging data is downloaded from the PLC, the yaw motor is stopped remotely or locally, and the 705-Q200 is disconnected to brake the yaw motor. After disconnecting other switches in sequence, the yaw debugging task of this unit is completed.
[0085] Optionally, combined Figure 3 As shown, the yaw motor power supply module includes: one end of the yaw converter 700-B2 is connected to the yaw test cabinet power supply module via a third switch, and the other end is connected to one end of the braking resistor 700-R1; the other end of the braking resistor 700-R1 is connected to the yaw motor brake power supply module via the yaw converter; one end of the local emergency stop button 700-S1 is connected to the yaw test cabinet power supply module, and the other end is connected to one end of the first contactor 700-Q10 via the first relay 700-K1; the other end of the first contactor 700-Q10 is connected to the yaw test cabinet power supply module.
[0086] Optionally, combined Figure 4 As shown, the yaw motor brake power supply module includes: one end of the protection switch 700-F101 is connected to the yaw motor power supply module through the yaw converter, and the other end is connected to the yaw motor 700-M101; the yaw motor brake is connected to the power supply.
[0087] Optionally, the yaw test cabinet includes a test cabinet door and a remote operating handle, combined with Figure 5As shown, the test cabinet door includes: a yaw brake enable switch 700-S2, one end of which is connected to a 24V power supply, and the other end of which is connected to the first terminal of the yaw motor power supply module via one terminal of the second relay 700-K2; a yaw motor reverse control switch 700-S4, one end of which is connected to a 24V power supply via the other terminal of the second relay 700-K2, and the other end of which is connected to one terminal of the yaw motor forward control switch 700-S3; the other end of the yaw motor forward control switch 700-S3 is connected to the second terminal of the yaw motor power supply module via one terminal of the third relay 700-K3, and to the second terminal of the yaw motor power supply module via one terminal of the fourth relay 700-K4. The third terminal of the yaw motor power supply module is connected; the other end of the third relay 700-K3 is interconnected with the other end of the fourth relay 700-K4 to form an interlock structure; one end of the yaw brake enable indicator 700-P2 is connected to 0V, and the other end is connected to the first terminal of the yaw motor power supply module; one end of the motor forward rotation indicator 700-P3 is connected to 0V, and the other end is connected to the second terminal of the yaw motor power supply module; one end of the motor reverse rotation indicator 700-P4 is connected to 0V, and the other end is connected to the third terminal of the yaw motor power supply module; one end of the second contactor 700-Q200 is connected to 0V, and the other end is connected to the first terminal of the yaw motor power supply module.
[0088] In some embodiments, the yaw brake enable switch 700-S2 on the cabinet door controls the power supply for the yaw brake, and the second contactor 700-Q200 controls the power supply for the yaw brake; when 700-S3 is closed, it controls the motor to rotate forward (UVW), and when 700-S4 is closed, it controls the motor to rotate in reverse (WVU). 700-S3 and 700-S4 are mechanically interlocked.
[0089] Optionally, the yaw test cabinet includes a remote operating handle, combined with Figure 6 As shown, the remote control handle includes: a remote emergency stop button, which is connected to the local emergency stop button via a first relay 700-K1; a yaw enable button, which is connected to a second relay 700-K2; a yaw motor forward rotation button, which is connected to a third relay 700-K3; and a yaw motor reverse rotation control button, which is connected to a fourth relay 700-K4.
[0090] Optionally, the normally open contact of the relay 700-K1 controlled by the emergency stop button on the operating handle is connected in series with the emergency stop button 700-S1 on the cabinet door. In case of emergency, the coil of the contactor 700-Q10 can be de-energized by pressing the emergency stop button on the cabinet door or the operating handle, thereby disconnecting the power supply to the yaw inverter and then disconnecting the power supply to the yaw motor, thus improving the safety of the device.
[0091] In some embodiments, the yaw enable button on the operating handle controls the second relay, the yaw motor forward rotation button controls the third relay, and the yaw motor reverse rotation button controls the fourth relay. The third and fourth relays are designed to be interlocked to prevent the yaw motor from rotating forward and in reverse simultaneously.
[0092] In some embodiments, the rotary switch and operating handle on the cabinet door are designed so that they cannot be controlled simultaneously. The principle is as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown. When the yaw enable switch 700-S2 on the cabinet door is set to 1, the yaw forward and reverse control buttons on the operating handle cannot control the yaw inverter's operation; when the enable switch on the operating handle is set to 1, the yaw forward and reverse control buttons on the cabinet door cannot control the yaw inverter's operation. The brake enable switch on the operating handle has higher priority than the yaw enable button on the cabinet door. This prevents damage to the device due to human error and improves the device's reliability.
[0093] Combination Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a workshop testing method for a wind turbine yaw system, based on the aforementioned workshop testing system for a wind turbine yaw system, includes:
[0094] Step S11: Test the yaw device through the yaw test cabinet to obtain the current signal of each yaw motor;
[0095] Step S12: Obtain the force conditions of each yaw motor based on each current signal;
[0096] Step S13: Adjust the tooth backlash between the gears of the yaw gearbox and the gears of the unit bearings according to the force conditions of each yaw motor.
[0097] This embodiment provides a workshop testing method for the yaw system of a wind turbine generator set. After assembling the yaw system and yaw bearing, the yaw motor is started, stopped, rotated, and oriented via a yaw test cabinet. The current signals of each yaw motor are acquired, and the stress on each yaw motor is obtained based on these current signals. Then, the backlash between the gears of the yaw gearbox and the gears of the generator set bearings is adjusted according to the stress on each yaw motor. This results in a more uniform load distribution among the multiple yaw motors in the yaw system, reducing the requirements for foundation bearing capacity and the strength of the testing equipment during yaw debugging.
[0098] Optionally, the force condition of each yaw motor is obtained based on each current signal, including: determining whether each current signal is the same; if each current signal is the same, determining that each yaw motor is subjected to the same force; if each current signal is different, determining that each yaw motor is subjected to different forces.
[0099] Optionally, the tooth backlash between the gears of the yaw gearbox and the gears of the unit bearing can be adjusted according to the force conditions of each yaw motor. This includes adjusting the eccentricity of the yaw reducers of several yaw gearboxes until the force on each yaw motor is the same when the forces on each yaw motor are different.
[0100] In some embodiments, adjusting the eccentricity of the yaw reducer in the yaw gearbox can adjust the backlash between the gears of the yaw gearbox and the gears of the unit bearing. In the prior art, the backlash between the gears of the yaw gearbox and the yaw bearing is usually adjusted to meet technical requirements. However, these requirements limit the range of backlash. Therefore, even if the backlash between the gears of the yaw gearbox and the yaw bearing is within the range specified by the technical requirements, uneven load distribution among the yaw motors may still occur. Therefore, this solution determines whether the force on each yaw motor is consistent by acquiring the current signal of each yaw motor, thus determining whether the load on each yaw motor is uniform. If the load is uneven, adjusting the backlash makes the load distribution of each yaw motor more uniform, thereby reducing the probability of yaw motor damage, increasing the service life of the yaw motors, and improving the reliability of the yaw system.
[0101] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of the present invention.
