[0044] A minimum allowable operating temperature threshold t_low and multiple low temperature thresholds related to the gearbox oil pool temperature of the wind turbine are set, and multiple temperature intervals are set based on the minimum allowable operating temperature threshold t_low and the multiple low temperature thresholds, wherein the low temperature thresholds are all greater than the minimum allowable operating temperature threshold t_low, and the multiple low temperature thresholds include a first low temperature threshold t1, a second low temperature threshold t2, a third low temperature threshold t3 and a fourth low temperature threshold t4, wherein the low temperature thresholds decrease in sequence from the first to the fourth low temperature thresholds, that is, t_low<t4<t3<t2<t1.
[0045] 1.2. Control logic of gearbox heater.
[0046] The gear box heater stop temperature threshold t_heat_off and the gear box heater start temperature threshold t_heat_on are set, wherein the second low temperature threshold t2, the gear box heater stop temperature threshold t_heat_off, the gear box heater start temperature threshold t_heat_on, and the third low temperature threshold t3 decrease in sequence (i.e., t2>t_heat_off>t_heat_on>t3); if the gear box oil pool temperature is lower than the gear box heater start temperature threshold t_heat_on, the gear box heater is controlled to be in the on state for heating; after the heating gradually increases in temperature, if it is monitored that the gear box oil pool temperature is greater than or equal to the gear box heater stop temperature threshold t_heat_off, the gear box heater is controlled to be in the off state.
[0047] 1.3. Control logic of high / low speed pump of gearbox lubrication pump.
[0048] Set the high-speed and low-speed pump switching temperature threshold t_Pumb corresponding to the gearbox lubrication pump, wherein the high-speed and low-speed pump switching temperature threshold t_Pumb is greater than the first low-temperature threshold t1; if the gearbox oil pool temperature is greater than or equal to the fourth low-temperature threshold t4 and less than the high-speed and low-speed pump switching temperature threshold t_Pumb, control the gearbox lubrication pump low-speed pump to be in the on state, and control the gearbox lubrication pump high-speed pump to be in the off state; if the gearbox oil pool temperature is greater than the high-speed and low-speed pump switching temperature threshold t_Pumb, control the gearbox lubrication pump low-speed pump to be in the off state, and control the gearbox lubrication pump high-speed pump to be in the on state.
[0049] In the second step, the process of wind turbines switching from standby state to grid-connected state is described in detail below.
[0050] 2.1. When the wind turbine is in standby mode, the gearbox oil pool temperature t_Oil is continuously monitored.
[0051] 2.2. If the gearbox oil pool temperature t_Oil is greater than or equal to the minimum allowable operating temperature threshold t_low, and is less than the fourth low temperature threshold t4, the wind turbine is kept in standby mode, and based on the control logic of the above-mentioned gearbox heater, the gearbox heater is controlled to be turned on for heating, waiting for the oil temperature to rise.
[0052] 2.3. If the gearbox oil pool temperature t_Oil is greater than or equal to the fourth low temperature threshold value t4, and less than the third low temperature threshold value t3, the wind turbine is controlled to start at low temperature and run at idle speed. Based on the control logic of the above-mentioned gearbox heater and the control logic of the high / low speed pump of the gearbox lubrication pump, the low speed pump of the gearbox lubrication pump is controlled to be on, the high speed pump of the gearbox lubrication pump is controlled to be off, and the gearbox heater is controlled to be on for heating, waiting for the oil temperature to rise.

The first power threshold K1 is greater than the second power threshold K2, and both the first power threshold K1 and the second power threshold K2 are less than the rated power of the wind turbine.
[0056] 3.2. When the wind turbine is in the grid-connected power generation state, if the gearbox oil pool temperature t_Oil is greater than or equal to the third low temperature threshold t3, and less than the second low temperature threshold t2, the power generation of the wind turbine is controlled not to be greater than the second power threshold K2.

[0057] 3.3. When the wind turbine is in the grid-connected power generation state, if the gearbox oil pool temperature t_Oil is greater than or equal to the second low temperature threshold t2, and less than the first low temperature threshold t1, the power generation of the wind turbine is controlled not to be greater than the first power threshold K1. Based on the control logic of the above-mentioned gearbox heater and the control logic of the high / low speed pump of the gearbox lubrication pump, the low speed pump of the gearbox lubrication pump is controlled to be in the on state, the high speed pump of the gearbox lubrication pump is controlled to be in the off state, and the gearbox heater is controlled to be in the off state.
[0058] 3.4. When the wind turbine is in the grid-connected power generation state, if the gearbox oil pool temperature t_Oil is greater than or equal to the first low temperature threshold t1, the wind turbine is controlled to generate electricity at rated power. Based on the above control logic of the gearbox heater and the control logic of the high / low speed pump of the gearbox lubrication pump, within this interval, the gearbox heater is controlled to be in the off state. If the gearbox oil pool temperature t_Oil is less than the high-speed and low-speed pump switching temperature threshold t_Pumb at the same time, the gearbox lubrication pump low-speed pump is controlled to be in the on state, and the gearbox lubrication pump high-speed pump is controlled to be in the off state; if the gearbox oil pool temperature is greater than the high-speed and low-speed pump switching temperature threshold t_Pumb, the gearbox lubrication pump low-speed pump is controlled to be in the off state, and the gearbox lubrication pump high-speed pump is controlled to be in the on state.

Figure 2 The processes described in are the same and will not be repeated here.
[0061] In this embodiment, Figure 2 The control logic of the corresponding embodiment in the grid-connected power generation state is changed as follows:
[0062] When the wind turbine generator set is in a grid-connected power generation state, a third power threshold K3 is set, and the third power threshold K3 is less than the rated power of the wind turbine generator set.
[0063] If the gearbox oil pool temperature is greater than or equal to the third low temperature threshold t3 and less than the first low temperature threshold t1, the power generation power of the wind turbine generator set is controlled not to be greater than the third power threshold K3.
[0064] If the gear box oil pool temperature is greater than or equal to the first low temperature threshold t1, the wind turbine generator set is controlled to generate electricity at rated power.

Figure 2 The processes described in are the same and will not be repeated here.
[0067] In this embodiment, Figure 2 The corresponding embodiment has changed the process of the wind turbine generator set from the standby state to the grid-connected state. Specifically, Figure 2 Steps 2.1, 2.2, and 2.4 in the above code have not been changed. Figure 2 Step 2.3 of the invention: if the gearbox oil pool temperature t_Oil is greater than or equal to the fourth low temperature threshold value t4, and less than the third low temperature threshold value t3, the wind turbine is controlled to start at low temperature and run at idle speed. This step is modified to: divide the interval between the third low temperature threshold value and the fourth low temperature threshold value into at least one low temperature sub-interval (for example, Figure 4 The low temperature threshold t3_1 shown in the figure may be located between t3 and t4, so as to divide the third low temperature threshold and the fourth low temperature threshold into two low temperature sub-intervals), and the gearbox oil pool temperature in different low temperature sub-intervals corresponds to different stages of idling operation of the wind turbine.
