But since locking involves accurately inserting the locking mechanism into the locking holes on the rotor to achieve a fixed position, the timing is extremely critical. Relying solely on manual operation makes it easy to miss the precise moment, preventing timely completion of the rotation operation. Summary of the Invention

Depending on the context, the words “if” and “suppose” as used herein may be interpreted as “when”, “when”, or “in response to a determination”.

For example, the steps described in this application can be executed in parallel, sequentially, or in different orders, as long as the desired result of the technical solution disclosed in this disclosure can be achieved, and no limitation is imposed herein.
[0047] In related technologies, due to the force of wind, the rotor of a wind turbine may continue to rotate even when the turbine is stopped, requiring a manual rotation operation, also known as a rotor locking operation. However, traditional manual rotation operations rely solely on manual observation of the locking timing, executing the locking operation only when the opportune moment arrives. But since locking involves accurately inserting the locking mechanism into the locking holes on the rotor to achieve a fixed position, the timing is extremely critical. Relying solely on manual operation makes it easy to miss the precise moment, preventing timely completion of the rotation operation.
[0048] To address the aforementioned issues, this disclosure provides a method, apparatus, and system for controlling the turning gear of a wind turbine generator set. The method involves: upon receiving a turning gear instruction for the wind turbine generator set, acquiring a first operating dataset of the wind turbine generator set; if the first operating dataset satisfies a first preset condition, determining the turning gear state in the turning gear instruction; if the turning gear state is electrically controlled turning gear, switching the converter of the wind turbine generator set from operating mode to electric mode to control the wind turbine generator set into the turning gear state; upon receiving a stop turning gear instruction, controlling an absolute encoder to acquire the current rotor orientation of the rotor in the wind turbine generator set; determining whether the current position of the target rotor locking socket matches the locking structure based on the current rotor orientation; if the current position of the target rotor locking socket matches the locking structure, controlling a braking device to stop the rotor and controlling the locking structure to insert into the target rotor locking socket to lock the rotor. By using an absolute positioner to precisely position the impeller, the timing for inserting the locking mechanism into the target impeller locking hole can be accurately determined, thereby enabling timely locking of the impeller and improving the turning efficiency.
[0049] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a turning control method for a wind turbine generator set according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it should be noted that the wind turbine turning control method of this disclosure is applied in a wind turbine turning control device. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the method may include the following steps:
[0050] Step 101: In response to receiving a turning instruction for the wind turbine generator set, obtain the first operating dataset of the wind turbine generator set.
[0051] It should be noted that "rotating control" refers to controlling the rotation of the impeller when the wind turbine generator is stopped, and locking the impeller at the impeller lock position.
[0052] In one embodiment, the first operational dataset includes various operational data associated with the operational status of the wind turbine generator set.
[0053] As an example, before performing electric turning operations, the maintenance switch on the tower base cabinet corresponding to the wind turbine generator can be switched to maintenance mode; otherwise, the main control module will not respond to the turning operation.
[0054] Step 102: If the first running dataset meets the first preset condition, determine the turning gear status in the turning gear instruction.
[0055] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first operating dataset includes whether the safety chain of the wind turbine generator is closed, whether the brake is released, the wind speed value, and the rotor speed. Step 102 may specifically include the following steps: when the safety chain is closed, the brake is released, the wind speed value is less than or equal to a preset wind speed, and the rotor speed is less than or equal to a first preset speed, determine that the first operating dataset meets the first preset condition; determine the turning state in the turning indicator.
[0056] Understandably, if the first running dataset meets the first preset condition, it means that the current running status can meet the requirements of the manual check. In this case, the manual check can be performed automatically without relying on manual confirmation.
[0057] For example, when the turning gear is in the electric turning gear state, the HMI screen of the tower base cabinet can display the unit status as "electric turning gear". After entering the "electric turning gear" state, the converter "operating mode" is set to 1 to switch to electric mode. If the converter is not faulty and the unit brake is released, the safety chain is closed, and the impeller speed is less than 50 rpm, the pull-in frame will break (that is, the control circuit will be disconnected).
[0058] Step 103: When the turning gear is in the electric turning gear state, switch the converter of the wind turbine generator set from the operating mode to the electric mode so as to control the wind turbine generator set to enter the turning gear state.
[0059] It should be noted that the traditional turning method relies on wind power to drive the rotor to rotate. However, in this method, when the wind is weak, there is no power and the rotor cannot be turned. When the wind is strong, the rotor rotates too fast, making it difficult to determine the timing of braking and locking the rotor in time, which causes maintenance difficulties. Therefore, this disclosure uses a converter to control the rotation of the wind turbine generator set to improve the controllability of the rotor rotation and thus improve the turning efficiency.
[0060] In one embodiment, when the turning gear state is electrically controlled turning gear, the converter of the wind turbine generator set switches from the operating mode to the electric mode to control the wind turbine generator set to enter the turning gear state.
[0061] It is understandable that the above operating mode refers to the wind turbine converting wind energy into electrical energy to supply power to the grid, while the above electric mode refers to the grid supplying power to the wind turbine through a converter, thereby providing a power source for the rotor rotation.
[0062] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the turning gear speed (generator speed) can be preset to 20 rpm, and can be reset on the human-machine interface (HMI). The allowable speed range of the electric turning gear (generator speed) is 20 to 50 rpm, and the default speed is 20 rpm (the minimum allowable speed), which can be modified through the HMI screen.
[0063] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the following steps may be included after step 103:
[0064] Obtain the second operating dataset of the wind turbine generator set; the second operating dataset includes the current speed of the rotor, whether the safety chain is broken, whether a brake indication signal is received, and whether the converter is faulty; the converter is the converter corresponding to the wind turbine generator set;
[0065] If the current speed is greater than or equal to the second preset speed, or the safety chain is broken, or a brake indication signal is received, or the converter fails, the wind turbine generator set will be controlled to stop turning.
[0066] It is understandable that some unexpected situations may occur during the turning process, causing the current operating state to no longer be suitable for turning. The turning operation should be stopped in time to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
[0067] For example, during the turning process, if the impeller speed exceeds 250 rpm, the safety chain breaks, the brake feedback signal is valid, or the converter malfunctions, the turning process will automatically stop.
[0068] Step 104: In response to receiving the instruction to stop the turning gear, control the absolute encoder to acquire the current rotor position of the wind turbine generator set.
[0069] Understandably, absolute encoders, due to their absolute uniqueness at each position, interference resistance, and lack of power-off memory, are increasingly widely used in angle, length measurement, and positioning control in various industrial systems. An absolute encoder's code disk has many etched lines, each arranged sequentially with 2, 4, 8, or 16 lines. At each position of the encoder, by reading the on / off state of each etched line, a unique binary code (Gray code) from 2^0 to 2^(n-1) is obtained; this is called an n-bit absolute encoder. Such an encoder is determined by the mechanical position of the code disk and is unaffected by power outages or interference.
[0070] Therefore, an absolute encoder can be used to determine the current impeller orientation (i.e., the impeller's rotational position).
[0071] Step 105: Determine whether the current position of the target impeller locking hole matches the locking structure based on the current impeller orientation.
[0072] It should be noted that the aforementioned target impeller locking socket refers to the impeller locking socket closest to the locking structure along the impeller rotation direction.
[0073] In one embodiment, whether the current position of the target impeller locking socket matches the locking structure means whether the current position of the target impeller locking socket is aligned with the locking structure, that is, whether the locking structure can be smoothly inserted into the target impeller locking socket.
[0074] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the following steps may be included prior to step 101:
[0075] The target impeller orientation is determined for each of the multiple locking holes of the impeller, resulting in multiple target impeller orientations. The target impeller orientation is the orientation of the impeller when the first position of the locking hole matches the second position of the locking structure.
[0076] Step 105 may specifically include: if the current impeller orientation is the same as any one of the multiple target impeller orientations, determine that the current position matches the locking structure.
[0077] For example, during the rotation of the turbine, the current rotor position can be indicated by the absolute encoder installed on the wind turbine (the hub locking position is calibrated when the absolute encoder is installed). When the lockable rotor position is reached, the variable "lockable" is set to TRUE on the human-machine interface.
[0078] Step 106: When the current position of the target impeller locking socket matches the locking structure, control the braking device to stop the impeller and control the locking structure to be inserted into the target impeller locking socket to lock the impeller.
[0079] For example, if the current position of the target impeller locking socket matches the locking structure, turn the turning gear switch to the middle position to stop turning the gear. At the same time, if the wind speed is within the maintainable wind speed range, the mechanical brake will be engaged to stop the impeller at the current position, and the impeller can be locked quickly.
[0080] In one embodiment, the locking structure can be manually inserted into the target impeller locking socket, or the locking structure can be controlled to be inserted into the target impeller locking socket by a retractable device connected to the locking structure.
[0081] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after step 106, the method may further include:
[0082] After receiving the stop turning gear instruction, the control converter switches from motor mode to operating mode within a first preset time period, and the grid-side circuit breaker of the control converter is opened.
[0083] For example, after the turning gear stops (i.e., the turning gear switch is in the middle position) for 5 minutes, the main control will automatically switch the converter's operating mode from motor mode back to operating mode and disconnect the converter's grid-side circuit breaker, returning it to normal unit maintenance status.
[0084] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the method may further include:
[0085] In response to receiving a counterclockwise turning instruction, the wind turbine generator is controlled to turn counterclockwise.
[0086] In response to receiving a clockwise turning instruction, the wind turbine generator is controlled to turn clockwise.
[0087] In one embodiment, the operation can be performed via a turning gear switch inside the engine compartment. When the switch is in the middle position, the turning gear operation is stopped. When switched to the left position, the turning gear starts to turn counterclockwise. When switched to the right position, the turning gear starts to turn clockwise.
[0088] According to the wind turbine generator turning control method proposed in this disclosure, in response to receiving a turning instruction for the wind turbine generator, a first operating dataset of the wind turbine generator is obtained; if the first operating dataset meets a first preset condition, the turning state in the turning instruction is determined; if the turning state is electric turning, the converter of the wind turbine generator is switched from operating mode to electric mode to control the wind turbine generator to enter the turning state; in response to receiving a stop turning instruction, an absolute encoder is controlled to collect the current rotor position of the rotor in the wind turbine generator; based on the current rotor position, it is determined whether the current position of the target rotor locking socket matches the locking structure; if the current position of the target rotor locking socket matches the locking structure, a braking device is controlled to stop the rotor, and the locking structure is controlled to insert into the target rotor locking socket to lock the rotor. By accurately positioning the rotor using an absolute encoder, the timing for inserting the locking structure into the target rotor locking socket can be accurately grasped, thereby enabling timely locking of the rotor and improving turning efficiency.

[0096] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first operating dataset includes whether the safety chain of the wind turbine is closed, whether the brake is released, the wind speed value, and the rotor speed. The switching unit 203 can specifically be used for:
[0097] When the safety chain is closed, the brake is released, the wind speed is less than or equal to the preset wind speed, and the impeller speed is less than or equal to the first preset speed, the first running dataset is determined to meet the first preset condition.

[0107] The fifth control unit is used to control the wind turbine generator to stop turning when the current speed is greater than or equal to the second preset speed, or the safety chain is broken, or a brake indication signal is received, or the converter fails.
