Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of GIS framework, and in particular to an offshore wind turbine GIS. Background Art

[0002] Wind turbine power generation is currently the most common power generation mode in offshore wind power technology. The current generated by the rotation of the wind turbine rotor is input into the switch device through the wind turbine end cable, and then transmitted to the outside through the sea end cable. Since offshore wind turbines vibrate with the seawater during operation and earthquakes occur frequently at sea, switchgear installed at high positions may collapse and be damaged due to high-frequency vibrations. Switchgear cannot be installed at high positions. Therefore, offshore wind turbine power generation technology often uses a relatively small GIS installed at the bottom of the wind turbine tower as a switchgear for power transmission operations. The current generated by the rotation of the wind turbine is transmitted from the wind turbine end cable to the sea end cable through the GIS installed at the bottom of the wind turbine. For example, a tower high-voltage switchgear cable compartment provided by the Chinese utility model patent with announcement number CN218549306U is provided with a modular wind turbine end cable compartment and a sea cable end cable compartment, and pressure relief devices are provided on both cable compartments. The number of cable compartments can be flexibly adjusted according to actual on-site usage requirements; multiple flanges are provided on the cable compartment shell to connect other electronic components. This solution uses modularly arranged cable compartments and pressure relief devices to improve the overall safety of the cable compartment, and the cable compartment can also integrate various components such as mutual inductors and lightning arresters, which is highly intensive.

[0003] However, the problem with the prior art is that the cable compartment is mainly installed in the wind turbine tower, and the operating environment of the wind turbine is characterized by large swaying with the waves. In addition, earthquakes occur frequently at sea, and the cable compartment needs to be able to withstand earthquakes of magnitude 9 or above during actual use. In the prior art, the shell frames of the cable compartment and the control cabinet are easily torn by the vibration of the waves, and the welds are easily torn. Summary of the invention

[0006] Furthermore, the U-shaped main box panel opening of the cable compartment is arranged to face away from the circuit breaker, and a box door is installed at the opening.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the reinforcing bracket is connected to the upper end surface of the circuit breaker.

[0008] Furthermore, the reinforcing bracket includes a connecting base for fixedly connecting to the top of the circuit breaker and a top frame for transversely bridging the cable compartment and the control cabinet, and a reinforcing support is provided between the connecting base and the top frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the reinforcing support includes a vertical support in the middle and oblique supports on both sides of the vertical support.

[0011] Furthermore, there are two cable compartments on one side of the circuit breaker, which are stacked up and down and fixedly connected, and the control cabinet is connected to the upper cable compartment on the other side of the circuit breaker through the reinforcing bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, the offshore wind turbine GIS also includes a skid-mounted base, and the circuit breaker and the cable compartment are fixedly installed on the skid-mounted base.

[0013] Furthermore, the electrical components in the control cabinet are installed in the control cabinet through a flexible buffer structure.
