Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind power generation technology, and in particular to an optimized control method and apparatus for wind turbines in a wind farm. Background Technology

[0002] With the gradual depletion of energy sources such as coal and oil, humanity is increasingly emphasizing the utilization of renewable energy. Wind energy, as a clean and renewable energy source, is receiving growing attention worldwide. For coastal islands, grassland pastoral areas, mountainous regions, and plateaus lacking water, fuel, and with inconvenient transportation, utilizing wind power in a way that is tailored to local conditions is highly suitable and has great potential. Wind power generation refers to using wind turbines to convert the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy.

[0003] The noise emitted by wind turbines is high-frequency noise, the sound of airflow through the blades. The speed at the blade tips is 4-8 times the wind speed, producing a sound similar to a car speeding on a highway, thus affecting nearby residents and animals. Most wind turbines can currently reduce noise by detecting wind speed and reducing blade speed. Furthermore, an increasing number of wind farms are built on complex terrain, where wind speeds and directions create low wind speeds and high turbulence. If the blades and turbine yaw at these angles, it can severely impact the turbine's lifespan. Therefore, most wind turbines now have yaw tracking systems to reduce operating load. However, sometimes operating both reducing blade speed and the yaw tracking system simultaneously can affect the turbine's power generation, preventing it from reaching its maximum output. For example, when wind speeds are too low in an area, the turbine may not reach its maximum speed according to its preset strategy, thus affecting power generation. Summary of the Invention

Every three hours, the wind turbines generating the minimum active power value are rotated to the next turbine, and this cycle continues until the wind speed drops to the first five wind speed ranges or the power grid issues a new active power value for the entire wind farm.

[0027] This invention provides an optimized control method for wind turbines in a wind farm. Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the optimized control method for wind turbines in a wind farm according to the present invention is provided. Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the wind farm optimization control method of the present invention may include steps S1 to S6.

[0028] In step S1, the entire space swept by the nacelle of the wind turbine in the wind farm is divided into multiple sectors.

[0029] If the turbulence intensity in a certain wind direction is greater than or equal to 10% of the average turbulence intensity of the wind field, then 20 degrees to the left and right of that direction shall be divided into a sector, each sector shall be no less than 40 degrees, and the total number of sectors shall not exceed 6.

[0030] In step S2, the wind speed is divided into multiple wind speed segments.

[0031] In some embodiments, the wind speed range may include, for example, a first wind speed range, a second wind speed range, a third wind speed range, a fourth wind speed range, a fifth wind speed range, and a sixth wind speed range, wherein the first wind speed range < the second wind speed range < the third wind speed range < the fourth wind speed range < the fifth wind speed range < the sixth wind speed range. In one embodiment, 9m ≤ the first wind speed range < 10m / s, 10m / s ≤ the second wind speed range < 11m / s, 11m / s ≤ the third wind speed range < 12m / s, 12m / s ≤ the fourth wind speed range < 13m / s, 13m / s ≤ the fifth wind speed range ≤ 25m / s, and the sixth wind speed range > 25m / s.

[0032] In step S3, the current nacelle position and current wind speed of the wind turbine in the wind farm are obtained.

[0033] Sensors can be installed on the yaw bearing of the wind turbine or the turbine's built-in sensors can be used. One example of a sensor is an absolute rotary encoder. The current nacelle position of the wind turbine within the wind farm can be determined using these sensors.

[0034] In step S4, the sector where the wind turbine is currently located can be determined based on the current nacelle position of the wind turbine obtained in step S3.

[0035] In step S5, when it is determined that the current sector of the wind turbine is located in a specific sector, the corresponding control algorithm is switched based on the wind speed segment corresponding to the current wind speed.

[0036] In some embodiments, switching to the corresponding control algorithm based on the wind speed segment corresponding to the current wind speed may include: switching to the first control algorithm when the wind speed segment corresponding to the current wind speed is in the first wind speed segment; switching to the second control algorithm when the wind speed segment corresponding to the current wind speed is in the second wind speed segment; switching to the third control algorithm when the wind speed segment corresponding to the current wind speed is in the third wind speed segment; switching to the fourth control algorithm when the wind speed segment corresponding to the current wind speed is in the fourth wind speed segment; switching to the fifth control algorithm when the wind speed segment corresponding to the current wind speed is in the fifth wind speed segment; and switching to the sixth control algorithm when the wind speed segment corresponding to the current wind speed is in the sixth wind speed segment.

[0037] In one embodiment, when the current wind speed is in the first wind speed range, the wind turbine is controlled to operate at full capacity (when the active power control mode is switched to the free full capacity mode, the field control program sends the installed capacity of each wind turbine as the target value to the wind turbine).

[0038] In one embodiment, when the current wind speed is in the second wind speed range, the wind turbine is controlled to automatically operate at full capacity (when the active power control mode is switched to the automatic full capacity mode, the program automatically uses the total installed capacity as the active power target value).

[0039] In one embodiment, when the current wind speed is in the third wind speed range, the average active power generated by all wind turbines in the wind farm is controlled.

[0040] In one embodiment, when the current wind speed is in the fourth wind speed range, the wind turbine is controlled to generate active power with equal margin (equal margin allocation means that when allocating active power, the target value of the wind turbine is proportional to the adjustment margin of the wind turbine, where the upward adjustment margin of the wind turbine = theoretical power of the wind turbine - actual power of the wind turbine, and the downward adjustment margin of the wind turbine = actual power of the wind turbine - minimum controllable power of the wind turbine).

[0041] In one embodiment, when the current wind speed is in the fifth wind speed range, the optimal electromagnetic torque is calculated according to the method described below, and the blade speed of the wind turbine in the entire wind field is reduced based on the calculated optimal electromagnetic torque.

[0042] The fifth control algorithm includes pitch control and generator torque control algorithms. The formulas for the pitch control and generator torque control algorithms are shown below:

[0043] Q = kw 2 (1)

[0044] Where Q is the optimal electromagnetic torque, k is the optimal proportional coefficient, and w is the generator speed.

[0045] The formula for calculating the optimal scaling factor k is as follows:

[0046]

[0047] Where, λ max The tip speed ratio is the optimal wind energy utilization coefficient, where R is the radius of the wind turbine impeller, G is the gearbox speed ratio, ρ is the air density, and C is the tip speed ratio. pmax It is the optimal wind energy utilization coefficient.

[0048] Therefore, calculating the optimal electromagnetic torque includes: adjusting C pmax and λ max The optimal proportional coefficient k is obtained, and the optimal electromagnetic torque Q is calculated based on the optimal proportional coefficient k.

[0049] In one embodiment, when the current wind speed is in the sixth wind speed segment, the first 5% of the wind turbines in the wind farm perform work according to the minimum active power value, while the last 95% of the wind turbines idle. Every three hours, the wind turbines that perform the minimum active power value are rotated to the next segment, and this cycle continues until the wind speed drops to the first five wind speed segments or the power grid issues a new active power value for the entire wind farm.

[0050] In step S6, a corresponding control signal can be generated based on the control algorithm in step S5 to control the wind turbine.

[0051] When the current wind speed is in the fifth wind speed range, the control algorithm includes pitch control and generator torque control algorithms. Therefore, the step S6 of generating the corresponding control signal based on the control algorithm may include generating the corresponding pitch control signal and torque control signal based on the pitch control and generator torque control algorithms to perform corresponding pitch and torque control on the wind turbine.

[0052] The optimized control method for wind turbines in wind farms according to embodiments of the present invention can ensure that the wind turbines reduce noise and reduce the load caused by high turbulence during operation.

[0053] The optimized control method for wind turbines in wind farms according to the present invention can be applied to most modern horizontal axis wind turbines, can operate in more complex terrains, reduce operating loads, optimize the control effect of wind farm turbines, and improve wind energy efficiency.

[0054] This invention also provides an optimized control device 10 for wind turbines in a wind farm.

[0056] The sector yaw position detection module 12 can determine the sector where the wind turbine is currently located based on the current nacelle position of the wind turbine.

[0057] The wind speed detection module 13 can be used to obtain the current wind speed of the fan.

[0058] The main control system 14 may include a control mode switching module 141 and a sector control strategy module 142.

The sector control strategy module 142 stores control algorithms for different wind speed segments in a specific sector. The control mode switching module 141, when determining that the current sector of the wind turbine is located in a specific sector, switches to the corresponding control algorithm based on the wind speed segment corresponding to the current wind speed, and generates corresponding control signals based on the control algorithm to control the wind turbine.

[0059] When the control mode switching module 141 determines that the current sector of the fan is located in a specific sector and the current wind speed is higher than the first wind speed segment, the sector control strategy module 142 will be activated to switch to the corresponding control algorithm based on the wind speed segment corresponding to the current wind speed.

The optimal electromagnetic torque can be calculated according to formulas (1) and (2) mentioned in the optimization control method for wind turbines in the wind farm above. The fifth control algorithm includes pitch control and generator torque control algorithms. The control mode switching module 141 can generate corresponding pitch control signals and torque control signals based on the pitch control and generator torque control algorithms, thereby controlling the wind turbines accordingly.

[0064] The sixth control algorithm includes the first 5% of wind turbines in the wind farm operating at the minimum active power value, and the remaining 95% of wind turbines idling. Every three hours, the wind turbines operating at the minimum active power value are rotated to the next turbine, and this cycle continues until the wind speed drops to the first five wind speed ranges or the power grid issues a new active power value for the entire wind farm.

Specifically, when the wind speed segment corresponding to the current wind speed is in the first wind speed segment, switch to the first control algorithm; when the wind speed segment corresponding to the current wind speed is in the second wind speed segment, switch to the second control algorithm; when the wind speed segment corresponding to the current wind speed is in the third wind speed segment, switch to the third control algorithm; when the wind speed segment corresponding to the current wind speed is in the fourth wind speed segment, switch to the fourth control algorithm; when the wind speed segment corresponding to the current wind speed is in the fifth wind speed segment, switch to the fifth control algorithm; and when the wind speed segment corresponding to the current wind speed is in the sixth wind speed segment, switch to the sixth control algorithm. The first to the fourth control algorithms each employ differentiated active power allocation methods. When the current wind speed is in the sixth wind speed segment, the first 5% of the wind turbines in the wind farm will generate the minimum active power, while the last 95% of the wind turbines will idle. Every three hours, the wind turbines generating the minimum active power will rotate to the next segment, and this cycle will continue until the wind speed drops to the first five wind speed segments or the power grid issues a new active power value for the entire wind farm.
