[0002] At present, wind turbine generators are gradually developing towards large-scale, and the super-long blades make the wind-swept area of the wind turbine generator larger, and the power generation capacity and full-load hours of the unit are significantly improved. However, after the large-scale development of the wind turbine generator, the load received by the wind wheel also increases sharply. This has caused many problems, among which the yaw system is insufficient in driving capacity due to higher load. Although the driving capacity of the yaw system can be improved by increasing the number of yaw driving motors, the overall cost is also increased, and the space for arranging the yaw driving motors is limited, which brings great technical difficulties to the design of the yaw system. SUMMARY

Based on the measured nacelle direction and average wind direction, an optimal yaw trajectory is planned, and a driving nacelle yaw is realized by superimposing the variable-pitch command, which can effectively solve the problem of insufficient yaw driving capacity and reduce the number of yaw driving motors.

[0007] The first object of the present application is achieved by the following technical scheme: a variable-pitch auxiliary yaw wind-against control method for a wind turbine generator, comprising:

[0008] Based on the measured nacelle direction and average wind direction, an optimal yaw trajectory is planned, and a nacelle yaw target angle is output;

[0009] According to the nacelle yaw target angle, a yaw variable-pitch command for each blade is calculated, which is used to generate a yaw moment in the wind wheel plane to push the nacelle yaw, so as to achieve the purpose of nacelle wind-against;

[0010] According to the actual yaw rate of the nacelle, a yaw resistance variable-pitch command for each blade is calculated, which is used to control the smoothness of the yaw rate during the nacelle yaw, so as to achieve the purpose of nacelle uniform-speed yaw wind-against;

[0011] After superimposing the yaw variable-pitch command and the yaw resistance variable-pitch command for each blade, and superimposing the unified variable-pitch command given by the unit, the final variable-pitch command for each blade is obtained.

[0029]

[0030]

[0031] Mode 2: when entering mode 2, the yaw target angle of nacelle keeps constant value unchanged, a timer is initialized to zero and starts to count, if the time of the timer exceeds the set yaw rest time threshold, the mode is switched back to mode 0, the purpose of mode 2 is to ensure that there is enough cooling time before starting yaw action again;
