This effectively improves wind energy utilization efficiency and avoids power generation losses caused by frequent sector management shutdowns of turbines in locations with poor wind conditions. It is applicable to optimizing the operating status of various wind turbines under sector operating conditions.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A control method for adjusting the sector operating conditions of a wind turbine generator based on acceleration trend includes real-time detection of the acceleration of the wind turbine generator after it enters the sector operating conditions, and controlling the blade opening of the wind turbine generator based on the acceleration of the wind turbine generator so that the change trends of acceleration and blade opening are negatively correlated.

[0006] Optionally, the functional expression for controlling the blade opening of the wind turbine generator based on the acceleration of the wind turbine generator is:

[0025] As Figure 2 shown, the control method for adjusting the sector operating condition of a wind turbine based on the acceleration trend in the embodiment comprises detecting the acceleration of the wind turbine in real time after the wind turbine enters the sector operating condition, and controlling the blade opening of the wind turbine according to the acceleration of the wind turbine so that the change trends of the acceleration and the blade opening are negatively correlated, thereby enabling the wind turbine to realize accurate control of the operating state of the wind turbine after entering the sector operating condition while ensuring safety, effectively improving the wind energy utilization efficiency, avoiding power generation loss caused by frequent triggering of sector management shutdown of the generator set in some poor wind conditions, and being applicable to the operating state optimization of various wind turbines in the sector operating condition.

[0026] To ensure the safety of the wind turbine, the blade opening adjustment curve in the embodiment must be opposite to the trend of the a / t curve, that is, the acceleration a t+1 -a t is in the upward trend, the blade opening Y t+1 is in the downward trend, and a t is in the downward trend. t The symmetric function of the t-axis is-a t , and thus the blade opening is Y t =-a t *k+b, where k is a sensitivity following constant and b is an opening amplitude control parameter. Therefore, the function expression for controlling the blade opening of the wind turbine according to the acceleration of the wind turbine in the embodiment is Y

[0027] =-a t *k+b t .

[0028] In the above formula, Y t is the blade opening at time t, a t is the acceleration of the wind turbine at time t, k is a sensitivity following constant, and b is an opening amplitude control parameter. Through the above function expression, the blade opening trend in the sector operating condition of the wind turbine and the change trend of the acceleration of the wind turbine are in an opposite state, accurate control of the operating state of the wind turbine in the sector operating condition is realized, and the safe and stable operation of the wind turbine is ensured. See Figure 3In the embodiment, the sector working condition is determined by the main control CPU, specifically, when the wind speed is in the given wind speed range Va-Vb and the wind direction angle is in the given wind direction angle Xa-Xb, it is considered that the sector working condition is entered. In the sector working condition, the method in the embodiment is packaged as a reverse regulation program for calling by the main control CPU after determining that the sector working condition is entered, and the blade opening Y at time t is obtained by calling the reverse regulation program according to the specified control period t The variable pitch control system of the input wind turbine can make the blade opening and the acceleration negatively correlated, so as to realize accurate control of the operating state of the wind turbine generator set in the case of ensuring safety after entering the sector working condition, effectively improve the wind energy utilization efficiency, and avoid power generation loss caused by frequent triggering of sector management shutdown of the generator set in some poor wind conditions.

[0029] In the embodiment, the acceleration of the wind turbine generator set is detected in real time after the wind turbine generator set enters the sector working condition, specifically, the real-time data a of the acceleration sensor of the nacelle or the tower is collected t The real-time a / t curve is generated at time t. In order to improve the accuracy of acceleration detection, in the embodiment, when the acceleration of the wind turbine generator set is detected in real time, the acceleration of the wind turbine generator set is detected in real time by acceleration sensors respectively installed in multiple different directions of the wind turbine generator set, and the maximum acceleration output by each acceleration sensor is selected as the acceleration of the wind turbine generator set detected in real time.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the acceleration sensors respectively installed in multiple different directions of the wind turbine generator set in the embodiment include acceleration sensors respectively installed in the x and y axis directions of the nacelle or the tower of the wind turbine generator set, the x and y axis directions are perpendicular to each other, and the acceleration a output by the x axis direction acceleration sensor at time t xt and the acceleration a output by the y axis direction acceleration sensor at time t yt If |a xt |>|a yt | is established, |a xt | is taken as the acceleration of the wind turbine generator set detected at time t, if |a yt |>|a xt | is established, |a yt | is taken as the acceleration of the wind turbine generator set detected at time t, and the acceleration of the wind turbine generator set detected at time t is represented as a 给定 The above relationship can be represented as a 给定 =f(|a xt |,|a yt |). Namely:

[0031] When |axt |>|a yt |time, a 给定 =|f(a xt a yt )|=|a xt |;

[0032] when|a yt |>|a xt |time, a 给定 =|f(a xt a yt )|=|a yt |

[0033] In this embodiment, the plane formed by the x and y axes is a horizontal plane.

[0034] Studies have found that the opening amplitude control parameter b is related to wind speed. Therefore, as a preferred implementation, this embodiment, when detecting the acceleration of the wind turbine generator in real time, also includes detecting the wind speed of the wind field where the wind turbine generator is located in real time, and calculating the wind speed v at time t. t The aperture amplitude control parameter b is determined using a preset mapping function, which can be expressed as: b = f(v t ).

[0035] As an optional implementation, the preset mapping function in this embodiment is a piecewise function of wind speed-aperture amplitude control parameter, with different wind speed ranges corresponding to one aperture amplitude control parameter. For example, wind speed v t In v a -v b When the wind speed range is within a certain range, the opening amplitude control parameter b = b1, and so on.

[0036] In this embodiment, the acceleration of the wind turbine generator set is detected in real time as shown in Table 1 and... Figure 2 As shown in Table 1, when the blade opening of the wind turbine is controlled according to the acceleration of the wind turbine, so that the trends of acceleration and blade opening are negatively correlated, the blade opening of the wind turbine is as follows. Figure 3 As shown.

[0039] From Table 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3It can be seen that the acceleration change trend and the blade opening trend are in reverse state, that is, the acceleration change adjusts the blade opening in reverse. Moreover, the control method for adjusting the sector working condition of the wind turbine based on the acceleration trend controls the blade opening of the wind turbine according to the acceleration of the wind turbine, so that the change trends of the acceleration and the blade opening are negatively correlated, the acceleration change trend and the blade opening trend of the wind turbine are in reverse state after the wind turbine enters the sector working condition, the reverse blade opening adjustment can maximize the safety of the wind turbine in the sector working condition, and the wind turbine can realize accurate control of the operating state of the wind turbine after entering the sector working condition while ensuring safety, which can effectively improve the wind energy utilization efficiency, avoid power generation loss caused by frequent triggering of sector management shutdown of the generator set in some poor wind conditions, and be applicable to the optimization of the operating state of various wind turbines in the sector working condition. The control method for adjusting the sector working condition of the wind turbine based on the acceleration trend controls the blade opening of the wind turbine according to the acceleration of the wind turbine, so that the change trends of the acceleration and the blade opening are negatively correlated, in the case that the wind turbine is in the sector unstable working condition, the real-time acceleration value measured by the acceleration sensor of the nacelle and the tower of the wind turbine participates in the wind turbine operating state control, and the blade opening amplitude is determined in combination with the wind speed, so that the wind turbine generates power while avoiding large vibration in the sector working condition, realizing the change from safety to sector working condition precise control of the wind turbine operating power generation, and being applicable to the optimization of the operating state of various wind turbines in the sector working condition.
