Description

[0002] Currently, the speed of the rotor of the wind turbine is controlled by pitch after full load of the wind turbine. When the wind turbine experiences extreme conditions such as gust conditions or turbulent conditions, the slow response of the pitch leads to rapid rise of the speed. If the speed continues to exceed the set speed threshold for a period of time, the rotor overspeed protection is triggered to cause the wind turbine to shut down.

[0059] In order to enable persons skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by persons skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0060] In the related art, the speed of the wind turbine impeller is controlled by pitch after the wind turbine is full-load, and when the wind turbine experiences extreme conditions such as gust conditions or turbulent conditions, the slow response of the pitch leads to rapid rise of the speed, and if the speed continues to exceed the set speed threshold for a period of time, the over-speed protection of the impeller is triggered to make the wind turbine emergency stop. However, the inventors have found through research that the emergency stop of the wind turbine causes the wind turbine to vibrate greatly, the key components of the wind turbine and the tower load are large, and the power generation of the wind turbine is lost. Especially, as the impeller gradually increases, the pitch response is slower and slower when the wind turbine is full-load in extreme conditions, which aggravates the triggering of the over-speed protection of the impeller to make the wind turbine emergency stop, thereby aggravating the loss of power generation of the wind turbine.

[0061] To solve this problem, in the embodiment of the present application, the rotating speed of the impeller of the wind turbine generator is collected in real time; it is determined that the rotating speed is greater than the preset rotating speed and the rotating speed is in an ascending state, it is determined that the wind turbine generator has an impeller overspeed risk, at this time, the additional torque is determined according to the rotating speed and the preset rotating speed, wherein the preset rotating speed refers to a rotating speed threshold for measuring whether there is an impeller overspeed risk; so as to increase the rated torque of the wind turbine generator when the wind turbine generator is running, so that the rated torque increases by the additional torque. It can be seen that when it is determined that the wind turbine generator has an impeller overspeed risk, the rotating speed of the impeller can be reduced by increasing the rated torque of the wind turbine generator. On the basis that the torque response is faster and more effective than the pitch response, the risk of triggering the impeller overspeed protection to make the wind turbine generator emergency stop can be greatly reduced, the operation reliability of the wind turbine generator is improved, and the power generation loss of the wind turbine generator is greatly reduced.

[0062] For example, one of the scenarios of the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the scenario as shown in Figure 1 The scenario includes an impeller 101 of a wind turbine generator and a pitch controller 102, which implements the overspeed control of the impeller 101 by using the implementation manner of the impeller overspeed control method provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0063] Firstly, in the above application scenario, although the actions of the implementation manner provided by the embodiment of the present application are executed by the pitch controller 102; however, the embodiment of the present application is not limited in the execution subject, as long as the actions disclosed by the implementation manner provided by the embodiment of the present application are executed.

[0064] Secondly, the above scenario is only one scenario example provided by the embodiment of the present application, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this scenario.

[0065] The specific implementation manner of the wind turbine generator and the impeller overspeed control method and device thereof in the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail in combination with the drawings and embodiments.

[0066] Exemplary method

[0067] Referring to Figure 2 , a flowchart of an impeller overspeed control method of a wind turbine generator in the embodiment of the present application is shown. In the embodiment, the method may, for example, include the following steps:

[0068] Step 201: Real-time acquisition of the rotating speed of the impeller of the wind turbine generator.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, the rotating speed of the impeller of the wind turbine generator needs to be controlled under certain conditions during the operation of the wind turbine generator; and the premise of controlling the rotating speed of the impeller of the wind turbine generator is to acquire the rotating speed of the impeller of the wind turbine generator in real time.

[0070] In the step 201, when the wind turbine is in an extreme condition such as a gust condition or a turbulent flow condition after full-load operation, the slow response of the pitch control results in a rapid increase of the rotating speed of the impeller. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to obtain the rotating speed of the impeller in real time, so as to perform the rotating speed control based on the obtained rotating speed. Therefore, in an optional embodiment of the present application, the step 201 can include, for example, obtaining the rotating speed of the impeller in real time when the wind turbine is in an extreme condition such as a gust condition or a turbulent flow condition after full-load operation.

[0071] In the step 202, if the rotating speed is greater than the preset rotating speed and the rotating speed is in an increasing state, an additional torque is determined based on the rotating speed and the preset rotating speed. The preset rotating speed is a rotating speed threshold for measuring whether there is a risk of over-speed of the impeller. The additional torque is greater than 0.

[0072] When the rotating speed of the impeller of the wind turbine continuously exceeds the set rotating speed threshold for a period of time, the over-speed protection of the impeller is triggered, and the wind turbine is stopped urgently. However, when the wind turbine is in an extreme condition, the urgent stop of the wind turbine causes a large vibration of the wind turbine, and the power generation of the wind turbine is lost. Especially, as the impeller gradually increases, when the wind turbine is in an extreme condition such as a gust condition or a turbulent flow condition after full-load operation, the pitch control response is slower and slower, which aggravates the phenomenon that the over-speed protection of the impeller is triggered and the wind turbine is stopped urgently, thereby aggravating the loss of the power generation of the wind turbine.

[0073] In the present application, the set rotating speed threshold is used as the preset rotating speed for measuring whether there is a risk of over-speed of the impeller. When the rotating speed of the impeller of the wind turbine is greater than the preset rotating speed and the rotating speed is in an increasing state, it indicates that there is a risk of over-speed of the impeller, that is, the over-speed protection of the impeller is likely to be triggered and the wind turbine is stopped urgently. In order to avoid the phenomenon that the rotating speed of the impeller of the wind turbine continuously exceeds the preset rotating speed for a period of time, the over-speed protection of the impeller is triggered and the wind turbine is stopped urgently, the over-speed control of the impeller of the wind turbine is needed to make the rotating speed of the impeller decrease. The rotating speed in an increasing state can be represented as an acceleration corresponding to the rotating speed being greater than 0.

[0074] Considering that the aerodynamic power of the impeller is equal to the product of the torque and the rotating speed, the rotating speed of the impeller can be decreased by increasing the rated torque of the wind turbine. Therefore, the additional torque needed to be additionally increased to make the rotating speed of the impeller decrease can be determined as the additional torque based on the rotating speed and the preset rotating speed. The additional torque is necessarily greater than 0.

[0075] In the implementation of step 202, on the basis of the preset rotating speed being a rotating speed threshold for measuring whether there is a risk of over-speed of the impeller, the additional torque first needs to calculate a deviation of the rotating speed from the preset rotating speed as a rotating speed deviation; then, the additional torque corresponding to the rotating speed deviation is obtained by adjusting the rotating speed deviation through a preset linear controller, so that the additional torque corresponding to the rotating speed deviation is obtained; wherein the preset linear controller is a preset proportional element for realizing proportional adjustment and a preset integral element for realizing integral adjustment. Therefore, in an optional embodiment of the present application, the step 202 may, for example, include the following steps A-B:

[0076] Step A: obtaining a rotating speed deviation according to the rotating speed and the preset rotating speed.

[0077] Step B: adjusting the rotating speed deviation through a preset linear controller to determine the additional torque, wherein the preset linear controller includes a preset proportional element and a preset integral element.

[0078] In the implementation of step B, the preset proportional element in the preset linear controller for realizing proportional adjustment is preset with a proportional gain as a preset proportional gain; and the preset integral element in the preset linear controller for realizing integral adjustment is preset with an integral gain as a preset integral gain; the adjustment of the rotating speed deviation through the preset linear controller actually means the adjustment of the rotating speed deviation through the preset proportional gain in the preset proportional element and the preset integral gain in the preset integral element, so that the additional torque corresponding to the rotating speed deviation is obtained. Therefore, in an optional embodiment of the present application, the step B may, for example, include: adjusting the rotating speed deviation based on the preset proportional gain in the preset proportional element and the preset integral gain in the preset integral element to determine the additional torque.

[0079] In the present application, the additional torque determined by the rotating speed and the preset rotating speed has a certain upper limit, for example, on the basis of the rated torque being known, the additional torque can be represented as less than a preset multiple of the rated torque; that is, the sum of the rated torque and the preset multiple of the rated torque represents the limit of the torque bearing performance of the wind turbine when the additional torque is increased. Therefore, in an optional embodiment of the present application, the additional torque is less than a preset multiple of the rated torque, and the preset multiple is determined based on the torque bearing performance of the wind turbine when the additional torque is increased.

[0080] Step 203: increasing the rated torque of the wind turbine by the additional torque when the wind turbine is running.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, after the additional torque is determined in step 202, during the operation of the wind turbine, the additional torque needs to be added to the rated torque to increase the rated torque of the wind turbine, so that the rotating speed of the impeller is reduced, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the rotating speed of the impeller of the wind turbine continuously exceeds the preset rotating speed for a period of time, triggering the impeller overspeed protection to make the wind turbine emergency stop.

[0082] As an example, a framework diagram of an impeller overspeed control of a wind turbine is shown in Figure 3 In the framework diagram, when the rotating speed w is greater than the preset rotating speed Wset1 and the rotating speed w is in the rising state, the rotating speed deviation is obtained according to the rotating speed w and the preset rotating speed Wset1, and the additional torque AT is determined by adjusting the rotating speed deviation through the preset linear controller PI; so that when the wind turbine is running, the rated torque Tn of the wind turbine is controlled to increase the additional torque AT, thereby controlling the rotating speed w to decrease.

[0083] Through various embodiments provided by the embodiment, the rotating speed of the impeller of the wind turbine is collected in real time; it is determined that the rotating speed is greater than the preset rotating speed and the rotating speed is in the rising state, it is determined that the wind turbine has an impeller overspeed risk, at this time, the additional torque is determined by the rotating speed and the preset rotating speed, wherein the preset rotating speed refers to a rotating speed threshold for measuring whether there is an impeller overspeed risk; so that when the wind turbine is running, the rated torque of the wind turbine is increased, so that the rated torque increases the additional torque. It can be seen that when it is determined that the wind turbine has an impeller overspeed risk, the rotating speed of the impeller can be reduced by increasing the rated torque of the wind turbine. On the basis that the torque response is faster and more effective than the variable pitch response, the risk of triggering the impeller overspeed protection to make the wind turbine emergency stop can be greatly reduced, the operation reliability of the wind turbine is improved, and the power generation loss of the wind turbine is greatly reduced.

[0084] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the rotating speed of the impeller is controlled to decrease in order to avoid the phenomenon that the rotating speed of the impeller of the wind turbine continuously exceeds the preset rotating speed for a period of time, triggering the impeller overspeed protection to make the wind turbine emergency stop; however, for controlling the rated torque of the wind turbine to increase the additional torque, there may be a case that the rotating speed is still greater than the preset rotating speed, then the duration that the rotating speed is greater than the preset rotating speed needs to be recorded as a first duration, it is determined that the first duration is greater than a first preset time, which indicates that even if the rated torque of the wind turbine is increased, the rotating speed still continuously exceeds the preset rotating speed for a certain time, at this time, the impeller overspeed protection still needs to be triggered to control the wind turbine to emergency stop.

[0085] Referring to Figure 4, shows a flow diagram of another method for controlling overspeed of a wind turbine in embodiments of the present application. In this embodiment, the method may, for example, include the following steps:

[0086] Step 401: Real-time acquisition of the rotational speed of the wind turbine impeller.

[0087] Step 402: If the rotational speed is greater than the preset rotational speed and the rotational speed is in an ascending state, determining an additional torque based on the rotational speed and the preset rotational speed; the preset rotational speed refers to a rotational speed threshold for measuring whether there is a risk of impeller overspeed, and the additional torque is greater than 0.

[0088] Step 403: Controlling the rated torque of the wind turbine to increase by the additional torque while the wind turbine is running.

[0089] In embodiments of the present application, steps 401-403 are the same as steps 201-203 in the above embodiment; therefore, the specific implementation of steps 401-403 can be referred to the specific implementation of steps 201-203 in the above embodiment, which will not be described here.

[0090] Step 404: Recording a first duration of the rotational speed being greater than the preset rotational speed while controlling the rated torque of the wind turbine to increase by the additional torque.

[0091] Step 405: If the first duration is greater than a first preset time, controlling the wind turbine to shut down.

[0092] In addition, in embodiments of the present application, in order to avoid the rotational speed of the wind turbine impeller being greater than the preset rotational speed for a long time, a double impeller overspeed protection mechanism needs to be set based on the above control of the wind turbine shutdown. Then, according to the principle that the rotational speed of the wind turbine impeller exceeds the set rotational speed threshold for a period of time, triggering the impeller overspeed protection to make the wind turbine shut down urgently, when the rotational speed of the wind turbine impeller is greater than the preset rotational speed, the duration of the rotational speed being greater than the preset rotational speed can be recorded as a second duration, and when the second duration is greater than a second preset time, the impeller overspeed protection needs to be triggered to control the wind turbine to shut down urgently. Since the time node at which the second duration starts recording is earlier than the time node at which the first duration starts recording, the corresponding second preset time needs to be greater than the first preset time. Therefore, in an optional implementation of the present application, the method may further include:

[0093] Step 406: Starting to record a second duration of the rotational speed being greater than the preset rotational speed when the rotational speed is greater than the preset rotational speed.

[0094] Step 407: If the second duration is greater than the second preset time, control the wind turbine to stop, where the second preset time is greater than the first preset time.

[0095] As an example, such as Figure 5 The diagram illustrates a wind turbine rotor overspeed control system based on a dual protection mechanism. The system involves: acquiring the rotor speed in real-time; determining if the speed exceeds a preset speed (a threshold speed used to assess the risk of rotor overspeed); if so, determining if the speed is increasing; and if so, determining an additional torque based on the speed and the preset speed. During wind turbine operation, the rated torque of the wind turbine is increased by the additional torque, ensuring the additional torque is greater than zero. While increasing the rated torque, a first duration of the speed exceeding the preset speed is recorded. The system then determines if this first duration exceeds a first preset time; if so, the wind turbine is shut down. Furthermore, upon determining that the speed exceeds the preset speed, a second duration of the speed exceeding the preset speed is recorded; this second duration exceeds a second preset time, and if so, the wind turbine is shut down.

[0096] Through the various implementation methods provided in this embodiment, the rotor speed of the wind turbine is collected in real time. If the rotor speed is found to be greater than a preset speed and increasing, it is determined that there is a risk of rotor overspeed in the wind turbine. At this point, an additional torque is determined by comparing the rotor speed with the preset speed, where the preset speed is a threshold speed used to measure the presence of rotor overspeed risk. This allows the rated torque of the wind turbine to be increased during operation, thereby increasing the rated torque with the additional torque. Furthermore, when increasing the additional torque, the first duration for which the rotor speed is greater than the preset speed is recorded. If the first duration exceeds a first preset time, the rotor overspeed protection control shuts down the wind turbine.

[0097] It is evident that when a wind turbine is deemed to have a risk of rotor overspeed, increasing the turbine's rated torque can reduce the rotor speed. Since torque response is faster and more efficient than pitch response, this significantly reduces the risk of triggering rotor overspeed protection and causing an emergency shutdown of the wind turbine, improving operational reliability and thus substantially reducing power generation loss. However, even when the rated torque is increased, if the rotor speed continues to exceed the preset speed for a certain period, rotor overspeed protection will still be triggered, causing an emergency shutdown of the wind turbine to protect it.

[0117] The control unit is further configured to:

[0118] If the second duration is greater than a second preset time, the wind turbine is controlled to shut down, and the second preset time is greater than the first preset time.

[0119] In an optional embodiment of the wind turbine overspeed control method, the impeller overspeed control device is arranged in a variable pitch controller of the wind turbine.

[0120] According to the various embodiments provided in the embodiment, the rotating speed of the impeller of the wind turbine is collected in real time; it is determined that the rotating speed is greater than a preset rotating speed and the rotating speed is in an ascending state, it is determined that the wind turbine has an impeller overspeed risk, at this time, the additional torque is determined according to the rotating speed and the preset rotating speed, wherein the preset rotating speed refers to a rotating speed threshold for measuring whether there is an impeller overspeed risk; so as to increase the rated torque of the wind turbine when the wind turbine is running, so that the rated torque increases by the additional torque. It can be seen that when it is determined that the wind turbine has an impeller overspeed risk, the rotating speed of the impeller can be reduced by increasing the rated torque of the wind turbine, on the basis that the torque response is faster and more effective than the variable pitch response, the risk of triggering the impeller overspeed protection to make the wind turbine shut down urgently can be greatly reduced, the operation reliability of the wind turbine is improved, and the power generation loss of the wind turbine is greatly reduced.
