[0051] Example 1

[0052] See also Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides a method for resetting a yaw system fault of a wind turbine generator set, comprising:

[0053] S1. Obtain feedback information from the yaw system;

[0054] The yaw system is started according to the wind demand, and feedback information of the yaw system is obtained. The feedback information of the yaw system includes the rotation direction of the yaw motor and the working current of the yaw motor.

[0055] S2, determine whether there is a yaw fault, if yes, proceed to step S3;

[0056] Whether the yaw relay is faulty can be determined by the rotation direction of the yaw motor and the operating current of the yaw motor.

[0057] The rotation direction of the yaw motor can be determined by the feedback from the yaw counting sensor to determine whether the yaw motor is rotating forward or reverse. The feedback from the yaw motor speed sensor can also be used to determine whether the yaw motor responds to the yaw action. The increase or decrease in the twist cable angle of the wind turbine can also be used to determine whether the yaw motor responds to the yaw action.

[0058] The yaw relay is a relay that controls the clockwise rotation (forward rotation) or counterclockwise rotation (reverse rotation) of the wind turbine. The control of the motor forward and reverse rotation is mainly achieved by controlling an interlocking contactor to achieve left and right yaw (forward and reverse rotation of the motor). The principle of motor forward and reverse rotation is to change the phase sequence of the motor power supply (any exchange of two power supply cables can achieve forward and reverse switching). It is generally designed that the main controller sends a yaw command, and the yaw relay is energized and energized. The left closure activates the clockwise rotation contactor, allowing the motor to drive the wind turbine to rotate clockwise (forward rotation), and the right closure activates the counterclockwise rotation contactor, allowing the motor to drive the wind turbine to rotate counterclockwise (reverse rotation).

[0059] When the yaw system is started to implement the yaw action, it is found that the actual yaw action does not match the yaw command, including when the yaw system is started, the yaw motor does not work, or yaws in the opposite direction, etc., it can be determined that there is a yaw fault.

[0060] S3, applying a pulse signal to the yaw relay to try to reset the yaw relay, and adding 1 to the attempt count;

[0061] After confirming that the possibility of the yaw relay failure is high, a pulse signal is applied to the yaw relay to try to release the bonded relay contacts. The current of the applied pulse signal can make the coil of the yaw relay generate sufficient magnetic flux to generate a bias force on the contacts through the magnetic flux, and the pulse-shaped electrical signal can make the contacts vibrate mechanically, and try to release the bond between the contacts through mechanical vibration. After the pulse signal is applied to the yaw relay for a period of time, the attempt count is increased by 1, indicating that 1 attempt to release the action has been performed.

[0062] The frequency of the pulse signal can be adaptively adjusted and matched according to the specifications of the yaw relay to ensure the best release effect.

[0063] S4, determine whether the attempt count reaches a preset value, if yes, go to step S5, otherwise go back to step S1;

[0064] After completing one attempt to reset the yaw relay by applying a pulse signal to the yaw relay, check the attempt count. If the upper limit of the attempts has not been reached, continue to obtain feedback information from the yaw system to determine whether the yaw system has returned to normal. If it has not returned to normal, apply a pulse signal to the yaw relay again to try to reset the yaw relay. If the upper limit of the attempts has been reached, it is considered that the yaw relay cannot be reset by applying a pulse signal to the yaw relay.

[0065] S5. Send an emergency stop command to the yaw system.

[0066] Normally, the rotation feedback of the yaw motor can indicate with a high probability whether the yaw relay is sticking. Combined with the working current of the yaw motor, when there is a large current in the yaw motor, it means that the yaw motor is in normal working condition, that is, the yaw motor performs the yaw action normally, but the yaw action does not match the command. At this time, it is necessary to start a more advanced safety control command (such as disconnecting the power supply, disconnecting the fan safety chain, etc.) to avoid motor burnout, drive damage and other faults, so as to protect the yaw system. Sending an emergency stop command to the yaw system can achieve emergency shutdown of the yaw motor, effectively avoiding more serious faults.

[0067] In one embodiment, the control of the yaw relay is improved to reduce the risk of adhesion and welding between contacts. Specifically, step S3 further includes:

[0068] S301, adding the yaw relay to the regular inspection list;

[0069] When a yaw fault occurs and is resolved by applying a pulse signal to the yaw relay, it indicates that the yaw relay has a potential fault and requires regular inspection and maintenance.

[0070] S302, determine whether the preset regular detection time has been reached, if yes, proceed to step S303;

[0071] In order to avoid the yaw relay from sticking and welding again and causing yaw failure, a pulse signal can be periodically applied to the yaw relay to reduce the risk of sticking and welding between the contacts. It should be noted that "regularly" here means at regular intervals, which can be a fixed time interval, such as a fixed time every day; it can also be a period of time after the yaw action is completed. For example, after the yaw action is completed, if no yaw action is performed for more than 1 day, it is judged that the regular inspection time has arrived, and the yaw relay needs to perform regular inspection tasks.

[0072] S303, applying a forced pulse signal to the yaw relay, and adding 1 to the forced count;

[0073] When the preset detection time is reached, the system applies a forced pulse signal to the yaw relay. The current of the applied forced pulse signal can make the coil of the yaw relay generate sufficient magnetic flux to generate an offset force on the contacts through the magnetic flux, and the pulse-shaped electrical signal can cause the contacts to produce mechanical vibrations to reduce the risk of bonding and welding between the contacts.

[0074] After the forced pulse signal is applied to the yaw relay for a period of time, the forced count is increased by 1, indicating that one forced disconnection and closing action has been performed.

[0075] S304, determine whether the forced count reaches a preset value, if yes, return to S302, otherwise return to S303.

[0076] For the sake of safety, a single periodic inspection may execute multiple times of applying a forced pulse signal to ensure that the risk of bonding and welding between contacts is reduced. For example, a periodic inspection task needs to execute the action of applying a forced pulse signal three times. If the number of executions does not reach three times, it returns to S303 to continue execution and counting. When the action of applying a forced pulse signal has been executed three times, the current periodic inspection task is terminated.

[0077] After completion, wait for the next regular detection cycle to arrive.

[0078] In one embodiment, the control of the yaw relay is improved to reduce the risk of failure of the yaw system due to the degradation of the yaw relay performance. Specifically, in step S3, it also includes:

[0079] S311, add the yaw relay to the regular verification list;

[0080] When a yaw fault has occurred and the yaw fault is resolved by applying a pulse signal to the yaw relay, it means that the yaw relay has a potential fault and needs to be verified regularly.

[0081] S312, determining whether the preset yaw relay verification time has been reached, if yes, proceeding to step S313;

[0082] In order to avoid yaw failure caused by performance degradation of the yaw relay, a switching signal may be periodically applied to the yaw relay to verify whether the switching response time of the yaw relay meets the requirements.

[0083] S313, applying a switching signal to the yaw relay to obtain a switching response time;

[0084] By applying a switching signal to the yaw relay and combining the duration of the yaw relay switching action, the switching response time of the switching signal can be obtained.

[0085] S314: Determine whether the switching response time is within a preset time range, and if so, return to S312.

[0086] The switching response time is used to determine whether the yaw relay has aged.

[0087] After completion, wait for the next regular detection cycle to arrive.

[0088] In one implementation, the timeliness of troubleshooting is improved to ensure that the fault can be reported and eliminated in time. Specifically, it also includes sending relevant alarm information to notify maintenance personnel to perform maintenance in time.

[0089] After confirming that a fault that cannot be eliminated has occurred, the wind turbine unit sends a yaw fault alarm message to the management platform. The platform manager arranges maintenance personnel to conduct on-site troubleshooting and repair based on the alarm message. The yaw fault alarm message may include feedback information from the yaw system and the attempt count to facilitate the platform manager to analyze and judge the fault.

[0090] From the above description, it can be seen that the beneficial effects of the present invention are: by detecting the working current of the yaw motor and the forward and reverse direction feedback of the yaw motor, it is determined if a yaw fault exists. When a yaw fault exists, a pulse signal is applied to the yaw relay to allow the yaw relay to be released from the bonding state, so as to restore the normal operation of the yaw system. This method does not require the addition of additional devices, has low cost, good safety, and high practicality.

[0091] See also Figure 4 , the present invention also relates to a fault resetting device for a yaw system of a wind turbine generator set, comprising an acquisition module, a judgment module, an execution module and a counting module;

[0092] The acquisition module is used to obtain feedback information of the yaw system;

[0093] The judgment module is used to judge whether there is a yaw fault and whether the attempt count reaches a preset value;

[0094] The execution module is used to send an emergency stop command to the yaw system;

[0095] The counting module is used for adding 1 to the attempt count.

[0096] The wind turbine starts the yaw system to align the wind direction according to the wind demand. The yaw system generates feedback information during operation. The acquisition module obtains the feedback information of the yaw system. The feedback information of the yaw system includes the rotation direction of the yaw motor and the working current of the yaw motor.

[0097] The judgment module can judge whether the yaw relay fails by combining the rotation direction of the yaw motor with the working current of the yaw motor.

[0098] The rotation direction of the yaw motor can be determined by the feedback from the yaw counting sensor to determine whether the yaw motor is rotating forward or reverse. The feedback from the yaw motor speed sensor can also be used to determine whether the yaw motor responds to the yaw action. The increase or decrease in the twist cable angle of the wind turbine can also be used to determine whether the yaw motor responds to the yaw action.

[0099] The yaw relay is a relay that controls the clockwise rotation (forward rotation) or counterclockwise rotation (reverse rotation) of the wind turbine. The control of the motor forward and reverse rotation is mainly achieved by controlling an interlocking contactor to achieve left and right yaw (forward and reverse rotation of the motor). The principle of motor forward and reverse rotation is to change the phase sequence of the motor power supply (any exchange of two power supply cables can achieve forward and reverse switching). It is generally designed that the main controller sends a yaw command, and the yaw relay is energized and energized. The left closure activates the clockwise rotation contactor, allowing the motor to drive the wind turbine to rotate clockwise (forward rotation), and the right closure activates the counterclockwise rotation contactor, allowing the motor to drive the wind turbine to rotate counterclockwise (reverse rotation).

[0100] When the yaw system is started to perform the yaw action, it is found that the actual yaw action does not match the yaw command, including when the yaw system is started, the yaw motor does not work, or yaws in the opposite direction, or no yaw command is issued, but the yaw system has a yaw action, etc., which can be judged as a yaw fault.

[0101] After confirming that the possibility of the yaw relay failure is high, the execution module applies a pulse signal to the yaw relay to try to release the bonded and welded relay contacts. The current of the applied pulse signal can make the coil of the yaw relay generate sufficient magnetic flux to generate a bias force on the contacts through the magnetic flux, and the pulse-shaped electrical signal can make the contacts vibrate mechanically, and try to release the bonded and welded contacts through mechanical vibration. After the pulse signal is applied to the yaw relay for a period of time, the attempt count is increased by 1, indicating that one attempt to release the action has been performed.

[0102] The frequency of the pulse signal can be adaptively adjusted and matched according to the specifications of the yaw relay to ensure the best release effect.

[0103] After completing one pulse signal application to the yaw relay in an attempt to reset the yaw relay, relevant information of the attempt count is obtained. If the upper limit of the number of attempts is not reached, the feedback information of the yaw system continues to be obtained through the acquisition module. The judgment module determines whether the yaw system has returned to normal through the re-acquired feedback information of the yaw system. If it still has not returned to normal, the execution module applies a pulse signal to the yaw relay again to try to reset the yaw relay. If the upper limit of the number of attempts is reached, it is considered that the yaw relay cannot be reset by applying a pulse signal to the yaw relay.

[0104] Normally, the rotation feedback of the yaw motor can indicate with a high probability whether the yaw relay is sticking. Combined with the working current of the yaw motor, when there is a large current in the yaw motor, it means that the yaw motor is in normal working condition. At this time, it is necessary to start more advanced safety control instructions (such as disconnecting the power supply, disconnecting the fan safety chain, etc.) to avoid yaw motor burning, drive damage and other faults, so as to protect the yaw system. Sending an emergency stop command to the yaw system can achieve emergency shutdown of the yaw motor, thereby effectively avoiding more serious faults.

[0105] In one embodiment, the system is improved to ensure stable and reliable operation of the system. Specifically, it also includes an adding module, which is used to add the yaw relay to the regular inspection list and the yaw relay to the regular verification list;

[0106] The judgment module is also used to judge whether the preset periodic detection time has been reached, whether the forced count has reached a preset value, whether the preset yaw relay verification time has been reached, and whether the switching response time is within a preset time range;

[0107] The execution module is also used to apply a forced pulse signal to the yaw relay and a switching signal to the yaw relay;

[0108] The counting module is further configured to add 1 to the forced count.

[0109] In this embodiment, when a yaw fault occurs and the yaw fault is resolved by applying a pulse signal to the yaw relay, it means that the yaw relay has a potential fault and needs to be regularly inspected and maintained.

[0110] In order to prevent the yaw relay from being stuck and welded again, which may cause a yaw failure, a pulse signal may be periodically applied to the yaw relay through the execution module to reduce the risk of sticking and welding between the contacts.

[0111] When the preset detection time is reached, the system's execution module applies a forced pulse signal to the yaw relay. The current of the applied forced pulse signal can make the coil of the yaw relay generate sufficient magnetic flux to generate an offset force on the contacts through the magnetic flux, and the pulse-shaped electrical signal can cause the contacts to generate mechanical vibrations to reduce the risk of bonding and welding between the contacts.

[0112] After the execution module applies a forced pulse signal to the yaw relay for a period of time, the forced count is increased by 1, indicating that one forced disconnection and connection action has been performed.

[0113] For the sake of safety, a single periodic test may be performed by applying a forced pulse signal multiple times to ensure that the risk of bonding and welding between contacts is reduced.

[0114] After completion, wait for the next regular detection cycle to arrive.

[0115] Similarly, in order to avoid yaw failure caused by performance degradation of the yaw relay, a switching signal may be periodically applied to the yaw relay to verify whether the switching response time of the yaw relay meets the requirements.

[0116] By applying a switching signal to the yaw relay through the execution module, the switching response time of the switching signal can be obtained in combination with the duration of the yaw relay switching action.

[0117] The switching response time is used to determine whether the yaw relay has aged.

[0118] Once completed, wait for the next regular verification cycle to arrive.

[0119] In one embodiment, the detection device is improved to ensure that the fault can be reported and eliminated in time. Specifically, it also includes an alarm module, which is used to send relevant alarm information to notify maintenance personnel to perform maintenance in time.

[0120] After confirming that a fault that cannot be eliminated has occurred, the wind turbine unit sends a yaw fault alarm message to the management platform. The platform manager arranges maintenance personnel to conduct on-site troubleshooting and repair based on the alarm message. The yaw fault alarm message may include feedback information from the yaw system and the attempt count to facilitate the platform manager to analyze and judge the fault.

[0121] The above-mentioned device can be implemented in the form of a computer program. Figure 5 Runs on the computer device shown.

[0122] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is a schematic block diagram of the structure of a computer device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0123] See also Figure 5 The computer device includes a processor and a memory connected via a system bus, wherein the memory may include a non-volatile storage medium and an internal memory.

[0124] The processor is used to provide computing and control capabilities and support the operation of the entire computer equipment.

[0125] The internal memory provides an environment for the operation of the computer program in the non-volatile storage medium. When the computer program is executed by the processor, the processor can execute any one of the wind turbine yaw system fault reset methods.

[0126] It should be understood that the processor may be a central processing unit (CPU), or other general-purpose processors, digital signal processors (DSP), application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, etc. Among them, the general-purpose processor may be a microprocessor or the processor may be any conventional processor, etc.

[0127] In one embodiment, the processor is used to run a computer program stored in the memory to implement the following steps:

[0128] S1. Obtain feedback information from the yaw system;

[0129] The yaw system is started according to the wind demand, and feedback information of the yaw system is obtained. The feedback information of the yaw system includes the rotation direction of the yaw motor and the working current of the yaw motor.

[0130] S2, determine whether there is a yaw fault, if yes, proceed to step S3;

[0131] Whether the yaw relay is faulty can be determined by the rotation direction of the yaw motor and the operating current of the yaw motor.

[0132] S3, applying a pulse signal to the yaw relay to try to disconnect and reset the yaw relay, and adding 1 to the attempt count;

[0133] After confirming that the possibility of yaw relay failure is high, a pulse signal is applied to the yaw relay to try to release the bonded relay contacts. The attempt count is increased by 1, indicating that one attempt to release has been performed.

[0134] S4, determine whether the attempt count reaches a preset value, if yes, go to step S5, otherwise go back to step S1;

[0135] After completing one attempt to reset the yaw relay by applying a pulse signal to the yaw relay, check the attempt count. If the upper limit of the attempts has not been reached, continue to obtain feedback information from the yaw system to determine whether the yaw system has returned to normal. If it has not returned to normal, apply a pulse signal to the yaw relay again to try to reset the yaw relay. If the upper limit of the attempts has been reached, it is considered that the yaw relay cannot be reset by applying a pulse signal to the yaw relay.

[0136] S5. Send an emergency stop command to the yaw system.

[0137] When pulse signals are applied to the yaw relay multiple times in an attempt to reset the yaw relay, the yaw system still does not return to normal, and the operating current of the yaw motor is large when the yaw motor has a large current. In this case, more advanced safety control instructions need to be activated to avoid motor burnout, drive damage and other faults to protect the yaw system.

[0138] In one embodiment, step S3 further includes:

[0139] S301, adding the yaw relay to the regular inspection list;

[0140] S302, determine whether the preset regular detection time has been reached, if yes, proceed to step S303;

[0141] S303, applying a forced pulse signal to the yaw relay, and adding 1 to the forced count;

[0142] S304, determine whether the forced count reaches a preset value, if yes, return to S302, otherwise return to S303.

[0143] When a yaw fault occurs and the yaw fault is resolved by applying a pulse signal to the yaw relay, it means that the yaw relay has a potential fault and needs to be regularly inspected and maintained. Specifically, pulse signals are regularly applied to the yaw relay to reduce the risk of adhesion and welding between contacts. To be on the safe side, a single regular inspection can be performed to apply forced pulse signals multiple times to ensure that the risk of adhesion and welding between contacts is reduced.

[0144] In one embodiment, step S3 further includes:

[0145] S311, add the yaw relay to the regular verification list;

[0146] S312, determining whether the preset yaw relay verification time has been reached, if yes, proceeding to step S313;

[0147] S313, applying a switching signal to the yaw relay to obtain a switching response time of the yaw relay;

[0148] S314: Determine whether the switching response time is within a preset time range, and if so, return to S312.

[0149] When a yaw fault occurs and the yaw fault is resolved by applying a pulse signal to the yaw relay, it means that the yaw relay has a potential fault and needs to be regularly inspected. Specifically, a switching signal is regularly applied to the yaw relay to verify whether the switching response time of the yaw relay meets the requirements. By applying a switching signal to the yaw relay and combining the duration of the yaw relay switching action, the switching response time of the switching signal can be obtained. The switching response time can be used to determine whether the yaw relay is aging.

[0150] In one embodiment, after step S5, the process further includes sending relevant alarm information to notify maintenance personnel to perform maintenance in a timely manner.

[0151] After confirming that a fault that cannot be eliminated has occurred, the wind turbine unit sends a yaw fault alarm message to the management platform. The platform manager arranges maintenance personnel to conduct on-site troubleshooting and repair based on the alarm message. The yaw fault alarm message may include feedback information from the yaw system and the attempt count to facilitate the platform manager to analyze and judge the fault.

[0152] In one embodiment, the feedback information includes the rotation direction of the yaw motor and the operating current of the yaw motor.

[0153] Under normal circumstances, the rotation feedback of the yaw motor can indicate with a high probability whether the yaw relay is sticking. Combined with the working current of the yaw motor, when there is a large current in the yaw motor, it means that the yaw motor is in normal working condition, and it is necessary to start more advanced safety control instructions (such as disconnecting the power supply, disconnecting the fan safety chain, etc.) to avoid motor burning, drive damage and other faults, so as to protect the yaw system.

[0154] A computer-readable storage medium is also provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program, wherein the computer program includes program instructions, and the processor executes the program instructions to implement any one of the wind turbine yaw system fault resetting methods provided in the embodiments of the present application.

[0155] For example, the program is loaded by the processor and may execute the following steps:

[0156] S1. Obtain feedback information from the yaw system;

[0157] S2, determine whether there is a yaw fault, if yes, proceed to step S3;

[0158] S3, applying a pulse signal to the yaw relay to try to disconnect and reset the yaw relay, and adding 1 to the attempt count;

[0159] S4, determine whether the attempt count reaches a preset value, if yes, go to step S5, otherwise go back to step S1;

[0160] S5. Send an emergency stop command to the yaw system.

[0161] The computer-readable storage medium may be an internal storage unit of the computer device described in the above embodiments, such as a hard disk or memory of the computer device. The computer-readable storage medium may also be an external storage device of the computer device, such as a plug-in hard disk, a smart memory card (SmartMedia Card, SMC), a secure digital card (Secure Digital Card, SD Card), a flash card (Flash Card), etc. equipped on the computer device.

[0162] Furthermore, the computer-readable storage medium may mainly include a program storage area and a data storage area, wherein the program storage area may store an operating system, an application required for at least one function, etc.; the data storage area may store data created according to the use of the blockchain node, etc.
