Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wind power generation technology and relates to a linear topology system for a 7MW wind turbine generator control device. Background Technology

[0002] Wind power is a major clean energy source being developed. Early wind farms were small in scale, with most wind turbines using small-capacity asynchronous generators. Wind farms were directly connected to the distribution network to meet local power supply needs. The impact of wind farms on the power grid was mainly local harmonic pollution, voltage fluctuations, and flicker—power quality issues—and did not significantly affect the safe and stable operation of the main power grid. However, with the continuous development of wind turbines, they have become increasingly complex, and insufficient consideration has been given to multiple external excitations in complex environments and the coupling of internal components, leading to relatively conservative designs and high cost per kilowatt-hour. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Furthermore, the pitch control system is connected to an external nacelle human-machine interface (HMI); the HMI displays the status parameters of various devices in the nacelle control cabinet.

[0012] Furthermore, the tower base cabinet I / O module, converter system, nacelle cabinet I / O module, pitch system, and main control module are all externally connected to power-off relays, which are connected to self-locking circuits.

[0013] Furthermore, the power-off relay is connected to a temperature detection module, a PLC relay, and a safety chain control relay.
