Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of electromagnetic compatibility, motor insulation design and fault diagnosis of wind power generation equipment, and relates to a method and related device for analyzing the shaft voltage of a wind turbine generator based on a broadband equivalent circuit. Background Technology

[0002] During long-term operation, wind turbines commonly face electro-corrosion damage to their main shaft systems. Due to the combined effects of the generator stator windings, high-frequency PWM converters, and structural parasitic parameters, shaft voltage and shaft current are generated between the inner and outer rings of the bearing, leading to pitting, micro-welding, and insulation degradation in the bearing raceways, which seriously affects the reliability and lifespan of the wind turbine.

[0003] The shaft voltage of wind turbine generators exhibits a significant broadband characteristic, primarily determined by the following factors: The PWM switching frequency of the converter is increased to a higher frequency.

[0004] Wind turbine converters typically use PWM switching frequencies of 1 to 20 kHz and contain a large number of high-frequency harmonic components, resulting in shaft voltage distributions spanning from several kHz to hundreds of kHz.

[0005] The parasitic parameters of the motor change significantly with frequency.

[0006] The stator winding impedance, parasitic capacitance to ground, and rotor shaft capacitance to the casing all change significantly with frequency, resulting in large errors in the power frequency model.

[0007] The frequency correlation between common-mode and differential-mode coupling paths is high.

[0008] The common-mode impedance and differential-mode impedance vary greatly across different frequency bands, therefore the calculation of shaft voltage must take into account frequency-related electrical parameters.

[0009] Wideband coupling leads to complex common-mode current paths.

[0010] Within a wide frequency band, converters, cables, motors, and bearings form multiple oscillation paths at different frequency bands, resulting in complex spectral characteristics of shaft voltage.

[0011] Therefore, traditional power frequency equivalent circuits cannot meet the requirements for accurate prediction of wind turbine shaft voltage. It is urgent to construct a wideband equivalent circuit model for the system to achieve accurate quantitative evaluation of the electromagnetic coupling of the converter-cable-motor-bearing system.
