Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wind power generation, and relates to a closed cooling system of an offshore distributed permanent magnet wind turbine generator and a cooling method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Distributed wind power generation is a new type of power generation and comprehensive energy utilization. It is generally a small wind power generation system with a small capacity. It has many application scenarios, strong environmental adaptability, independent power stations, high safety and stability, and low cost. Therefore, it has a good market prospect. Due to the rich offshore wind energy resources and the development of technology, the wind power market has a good prospect.

[0003] At present, the two mainstream cooling methods in the existing wind turbine cooling technology are mainly air cooling and water cooling. Air cooling is the earliest and most widely used cooling technology for wind turbines. It is suitable for units with low loss and small single capacity. Its advantages are simple structure, low cost and convenient maintenance and management. Its disadvantages are that the temperature in the cabin is prone to rising and thus failures occur. In addition, dust, particles and salt spray can easily enter the cabin and corrode the generator components, which is not conducive to the long-term reliable and safe operation of wind turbines (especially offshore wind turbines). Water cooling has significant advantages in heat dissipation capacity and compact structure, which is suitable for offshore wind turbines. However, the working fluid is usually ethylene glycol and water solution, which has the risk of water leakage, affecting the long-term reliable operation of the unit, and requires the unit to design a set of dedicated water supply and air-water heat exchange system, which is costly.

[0004] At the same time, the existing offshore distributed permanent magnet wind turbine cooling system technical solutions have the following disadvantages:

[0005] If the air cooling method on the surface of the base is used for heat dissipation, the temperature of the windings and magnetic steel will be too high, and the performance and reliability of the generator cannot be met; if the natural wind direct cooling system is used, the generator cannot operate reliably for a long time at sea.

[0006] If a water cooling system is used, the cost is high, and there is a risk of leakage of the working fluid leading to insulation failure and major accidents of the generator;

[0007] Therefore, for offshore distributed small-power units, if the water cooling commonly used in offshore wind turbines is adopted, an additional set of water cooling equipment will be required, which is costly and less economical. If the surface base heat dissipation rib air cooling is adopted, the internal magnetic steel temperature will be high and the motor performance will not meet the requirements. If the performance of the magnetic steel is considered to be improved, the cost of heavy rare earth will increase significantly. Summary of the invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and to provide a closed cooling system for an offshore distributed permanent magnet wind turbine generator and a cooling method thereof.

[0009] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0010] A closed cooling system for an offshore distributed permanent magnet wind turbine generator comprises a nacelle, the front end of which is connected to a generator base, an air-cooled heat exchanger is arranged outside the nacelle, and a generator air inlet and a generator air outlet are arranged on a rear end cover of the generator;

[0011] The hot air in the generator flows out from the generator air outlet and flows through the air inlet pipe assembly in turn into the air-cooled heat exchanger. The air-cooled heat exchanger cools the hot air to form cooling air. The cooling air discharged from the air-cooled heat exchanger is discharged into the cabin through the air outlet pipe assembly in turn, and the cold air in the cabin enters the generator through the generator air inlet.

[0012] Furthermore, ventilation holes are provided on the rotor bracket in the generator, and an air guide cover is arranged between the rotor bracket and the rear end cover, and the air guide cover is connected to the inner wall of the rear end cover; after the cold air enters from the air inlet of the generator, it flows along the gap between the air guide cover, the stator and the rotor, and the ventilation holes, and flows into the hot air inlet of the air-cooled heat exchanger.

[0013] Furthermore, a frame is provided in the cabin, and the fan motor impeller assembly is arranged on the frame through a mounting base.

[0014] Furthermore, the air inlet pipeline assembly includes an air inlet pipeline and a first connecting pipeline, the air outlet pipeline assembly includes a second connecting pipeline, an air outlet pipeline, and a fan motor impeller assembly, the generator air outlet is connected to the air inlet pipeline, the first connecting pipeline, and the hot air inlet of the air-cooling heat exchanger in sequence; the cooling air outlet of the air-cooling heat exchanger is connected to the second connecting pipeline, the air outlet pipeline, and the fan motor impeller assembly in sequence.

[0015] Furthermore, the fan motor impeller assembly includes an impeller and a fan motor capable of driving the impeller to rotate, and the cooling air can be drawn from the air-cooled heat exchanger and discharged into the cabin through the rotation of the impeller.

[0016] Furthermore, the air-cooled heat exchanger includes a shell, a heat exchange core is arranged in the shell, the shell is exposed above the cabin through the heat exchanger base, and flanges are arranged at the hot air inlet and the cooling air outlet of the air-cooled heat exchanger.

[0017] Furthermore, the heat exchange core adopts a cross-flow plate heat exchanger.

[0018] Furthermore, the generator air inlet includes air inlets of various specifications.

[0019] Furthermore, the ventilation hole is located on the middle partition of the rotor bracket, and the ventilation hole is arranged between two adjacent rib plates.

[0020] Furthermore, hoses are provided between the air inlet pipeline and the rear end cover of the generator, and between the second connecting pipeline and the air outlet pipeline.

[0021] In addition, the present invention also provides a cooling method for a closed cooling system of an offshore distributed permanent magnet wind turbine generator, comprising the following steps:

[0022] Step 1: The hot air in the generator flows out from the generator air outlet, flows through the air inlet and outlet pipe components in sequence, and then enters the air-cooled heat exchanger through the hot air inlet of the air-cooled heat exchanger;

[0023] Step 2: The air-cooled heat exchanger cools the hot air to form cooling air;

[0024] Step 3: The cooling air discharged from the air-cooling heat exchanger flows through the cooling air outlet of the air-cooling heat exchanger, passes through the air outlet pipe assembly in sequence, and is then discharged into the cabin;

[0025] Step 4: The cold air in the cabin enters the generator through the generator air inlet. After entering the generator air inlet, the cold air flows along the air guide cover, the gap between the stator and the rotor, and the ventilation holes, and flows into the hot air inlet of the air cooling exchanger.

[0026] Wherein: the cooling medium of the air-cooled heat exchanger in step 2 is natural wind from the atmosphere, which forms convection heat exchange with the internal circulation cooling wind.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] First, the present invention designs an internal circulation closed cooling circuit for a permanent magnet generator. The internal circulation cold air is obtained from the engine room, enters the generator through the rear end cover, takes away the heat and forms hot air to enter the air-cooled heat exchanger. The air-cooled heat exchanger cools the hot air to form cold air, which is discharged into the engine room by forced ventilation. The internal circulation air in the overall cooling circuit has no contact with the outside world, forming a closed-loop cooling structure; the use of this closed cooling circulation system can meet the operating requirements of harsh offshore / offshore working conditions and ensure the reliability of the generator.

[0029] Second, on the basis of air cooling on the surface of the generator frame, an internal forced ventilation cooling method is added. The temperature of the generator stator winding and rotor magnetic steel meets the use requirements and can ensure the normal operation of the generator.

[0030] Third, in view of the offshore operating environment, an air cooling system is used to replace the current mainstream water cooling method of large-power wind turbines, which reduces the complexity of the water cooling system and reduces the cost of the unit.

[0031] Fourth, the cooling system has a compact structure and effectively utilizes the internal and external space of the cabin, which is conducive to the maintenance of the unit throughout its life cycle. In addition, the heat exchange core is placed outside the cabin, effectively utilizing the natural wind from the atmosphere, and wearing parts such as the fan motor impeller assembly are placed inside the cabin to facilitate daily maintenance and inspection.

[0032] Fifth, the internal cooling air path of the generator is only axially ventilated, and no radial ventilation duct is required, which reduces the axial size of the generator, thereby reducing the amount of effective materials used and reducing costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] Here, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and the embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Instead, they are only examples of devices consistent with some aspects of the present invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0044] Example

[0046] The hot air in the generator flows out from the generator air outlet 4.2 and then flows through the air inlet pipe assembly into the air-cooling heat exchanger 3. The air-cooling heat exchanger 3 cools the hot air to form cooling air. The cooling air discharged from the air-cooling heat exchanger 3 is discharged into the nacelle 1 through the air outlet pipe assembly in turn, and the cold air in the nacelle 1 enters the generator through the generator air inlet 4.1.

[0047] In this embodiment: the cooling system of the present invention is suitable for offshore distributed small-power permanent magnet wind turbines, the overall structure of the generator is an outer stator and an inner rotor, and the loss is dissipated by two parts: one is dissipated by the surface of the base, and the other is dissipated by the closed internal circulation cooling system of the present invention.

[0048] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the generator base 2 is exposed to the atmosphere, and its rear end is connected to the front end of the nacelle 1. Two sets of generator air inlets 4.1 are evenly distributed on the rear end cover 4 of the generator. Cooling air is obtained from the nacelle 1 through the generator air inlet 4.1 and enters the generator. After taking away the heat, the hot air enters the air inlet pipeline assembly from the generator air outlet 4.2 of the rear end cover 4, and enters the air cooling heat exchanger 3. The air cooling heat exchanger 3 cools the generator hot air through the natural wind of the outside atmosphere, so that it is cooled down to form cooling air, and then flows through the connecting pipeline 6 on the other side, enters the air outlet pipeline assembly of the air cooling heat exchanger 3, and the cold air cooled by the air heat exchanger 3 is discharged into the nacelle 1. The generator air inlet 4.1 of the rear end cover 4 then allows the cold air in the nacelle 1 to enter the generator, thus forming a closed-loop cooling.

Figure 5 The arrow shown enters, cools the circulating air in the generator, and then flows out from the other side. Flange 3.2 connects the connecting pipe 6 of the air inlet and outlet of the nacelle 1 and the shell 3.3. In order to improve the heat exchange efficiency and environmental adaptability, the heat exchange core 3.4 can adopt a cross-flow plate heat exchanger, and the material can be epoxy resin aluminum foil. The lifting lug 3.5 is used to install and lift the air-cooled heat exchanger 3; the shell 3.3 is a stainless steel shell.

[0058] Furthermore, the generator air inlet 4.1 includes air inlets of various specifications.
