Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind turbine converter start-up control technology, and in particular to a method for start-up control of a permanent magnet direct-drive wind turbine converter. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of wind power generation technology, gearless direct-drive wind turbines using low-speed permanent magnet synchronous generators have gradually become the mainstream model in wind power generation systems due to their advantages such as simple structure, compact size, and convenient maintenance.

[0003] As is well known, the key equipment in a direct-drive wind turbine is the full-power wind power converter, which consists of a grid-side converter and a machine-side converter. The grid-side and machine-side converters are decoupled through a large-capacity capacitor. Wind power converters typically require a pre-charge circuit to charge the DC-side capacitor. The startup process involves first activating the pre-charge circuit to charge the DC bus capacitor. Once the capacitor voltage reaches a set value, the pre-charge circuit is closed. Then, the AC switch of the grid-side converter is closed, starting the grid-side converter to control the DC bus voltage to the set value. Finally, the AC switch of the machine-side converter is closed, starting the machine-side converter to control the wind turbine speed and achieve maximum wind speed tracking. The presence of the pre-charge circuit increases the complexity of the wind power converter's electrical system and control, while also increasing system cost and reducing system reliability.
