AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When wind turbines are configured as virtual synchronous machines, they face the problem of increased mechanical load, which is difficult to solve effectively with existing technologies.

Method used

By employing electrical storage devices such as batteries, supercapacitors, flywheels, and superconducting magnetic energy storage devices, and connecting them to generators and inverters via DC link circuits, combined with power controllers, charging controllers, and DC link controllers, virtual synchronous machine simulation of wind turbines and reduction of mechanical load can be achieved.

Benefits of technology

The use of electrical storage devices reduces the demand on generator power and lowers the mechanical load on wind turbines. Especially under low wind conditions, it avoids excessive absorption of rotor power and improves the stability of grid power and mechanical systems.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling power generation of a VSM wind turbine. The wind turbine comprises a machine side converter (203), a line side converter (204), a DC link (205) and an electrical storage device (241) electrically connected to the DC link. The method comprises determining a first power control signal (PMSC) for the machine side converter (203), determining a second power control signal (PVSM) for controlling a desired output power (Pgrid) of the line side converter (204) based on a storage device voltage error (Vbat_e) and a power production reference (Ppro), and determining a charge current reference (Ibat_ref) for controlling charging and discharging of the electrical storage device (241) based on a DC link error (Vdc_e, Edc_e).
