Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind power generation technology, and in particular to a method for selecting and adapting supercapacitors for wind power pitch control systems. Background Technology
[0002] The pitch control system of a wind turbine generator is a core component ensuring the safe operation of the unit. Its backup power supply needs to provide sufficient energy to drive the blades to complete emergency feathering in emergency situations such as grid power failure and excessive wind speed, so as to prevent the unit from being damaged due to loss of control. Supercapacitors have become the mainstream choice for backup power supply of wind turbine pitch control systems due to their outstanding advantages such as high power density, fast charging and discharging speed, long cycle life and strong environmental adaptability. The rationality of their selection directly determines the reliability of emergency feathering, system operating costs and equipment lifespan.
[0003] Currently, the selection technology for supercapacitors in wind turbine pitch control systems is mainly divided into two categories: empirical selection method and single-dimensional verification method. The empirical selection method relies on the supercapacitor manufacturer's recommended parameters and past project application experience to determine the selection scheme by corresponding fixed capacitor capacity to the wind turbine power level. The single-dimensional verification method adds a single performance index verification such as power priority or capacity priority on the basis of emergency feathering energy demand calculation, forming a two-step selection mode of energy calculation and single index verification.
[0004] However, existing selection methods have significant technical flaws: First, the energy calculation process is simplified, estimating pitch drag torque only based on blade length and weight, without considering key influencing factors such as bearing friction and dynamic changes in wind load, resulting in excessively high deviations in energy demand calculations and failing to provide accurate basis for selection; Second, parameter matching lacks coupling logic, making low-voltage, large-capacitor solutions prone to insufficient power and rapid voltage drops, while high-voltage solutions lack dynamic redundancy design, making it difficult to adapt to complex operating conditions; Third, the verification dimension is singular, only verifying single indicators such as energy or power, which can easily lead to excessive selection redundancy, increasing costs, or insufficient reliability, causing safety risks.
[0005] It is evident that the existing supercapacitor selection schemes for wind power pitch systems suffer from technical problems such as low accuracy, insufficient reliability, and poor flexibility. Summary of the Invention

[0034] The following is combined Figures 1 to 2 This invention describes the detailed scheme of the supercapacitor adaptation and selection method for wind power pitch system provided in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0035] like Figure 1As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, the method for selecting a supercapacitor for a wind power pitch system mainly includes the following steps: Step 110: Obtain multi-dimensional basic parameters of the wind power pitch system.
[0036] In this embodiment, the multi-dimensional basic parameters obtained in the basic parameter acquisition stage mainly involve three dimensions: blade characteristic parameters, pitch system parameters, and capacitance characteristics and environmental parameters, which can provide data basis for subsequent steps.
[0037] Step 120: Based on multi-dimensional basic parameters and combined with the preset total efficiency of the wind power pitch system, calculate the total energy of emergency feathering.
[0038] Specifically, the corrected average pitch drag torque can be calculated first using the coupling formula of blade gravity torque and pitch bearing friction torque, and then combined with the overall efficiency of the pitch system to calculate the total energy of emergency feathering.
[0039] Step 130: Based on the multi-dimensional basic parameters, determine the rated voltage of the capacitor module, and based on the rated voltage and the total emergency feathering energy, combined with the multi-maintenance positive coefficient, calculate the dynamic actual capacity to form a preliminary series-parallel structure scheme.
[0040] In the supercapacitor parameter coupling matching stage, the rated voltage of the capacitor module can be determined first. This process needs to meet the requirements of the driver. The number of individual cells in series can be obtained by rounding up. Then, by using multiple maintenance positive coefficients such as temperature, aging, and redundancy, the dynamic actual capacity can be calculated, thus forming a preliminary series-parallel structure scheme.
[0041] Step 140: Based on the multi-dimensional basic parameters, perform multi-dimensional collaborative verification of the series-parallel structure scheme.

This verifies whether the safety and reliability requirements under all operating conditions are met. If the requirements are not met, the process returns to step 130 to adjust the parameters, forming a closed-loop process of matching-verification-correction.
[0043] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 2 As shown, in the basic parameter acquisition S1 stage, multi-dimensional basic parameters of the wind power pitch system are acquired, specifically including: On the one hand, the blade length, blade weight, pitch bearing raceway diameter, bearing friction coefficient, and bearing raceway preload of the wind power pitch system are obtained to obtain the blade characteristic parameters.

[0048] In a specific implementation, the maximum pitch bearing friction force is calculated based on the pitch bearing raceway diameter, bearing friction coefficient, and bearing raceway preload from the blade characteristic parameters, as well as the pre-obtained pitch bearing axial force. Specifically, this includes: The first step is to multiply the axial force of the pitch bearing by the raceway diameter of the pitch bearing to obtain the first intermediate value.
[0049] The second step is to add the first intermediate value to twice the bearing raceway preload to calculate the second intermediate value.
[0050] The third step is to multiply the coefficient of friction with the second intermediate value, and then divide the product by 2 to calculate the third intermediate value.
[0051] The fourth step is to multiply the third intermediate value by the preset safety factor to calculate the maximum pitch bearing friction force.
[0052] In this embodiment, the formula for calculating the maximum pitch bearing friction force is: (1) in, This represents the maximum frictional force of the pitch bearing. For safety factors, a value of 1.0-1.25 is generally selected. The axial force of the pitch bearing is obtained from wind turbine load simulation. The bearing friction coefficient; This refers to the raceway diameter of the pitch bearing; This is the preload force for the bearing raceway.

[0055] The second step is to add the fourth intermediate value to the maximum pitch bearing friction force to calculate the average pitch drag torque.
[0056] In this embodiment, the formula for calculating the average pitch drag torque is: (2) in, The average drag torque of the pitch control; This is the drag coefficient, typically ranging from 0.3 to 0.5, which can be corrected based on the aerodynamic characteristics of the blades. g The acceleration due to gravity is taken as 9.8 m / s². This represents the maximum frictional force of the pitch bearing.
[0057] Finally, based on the average pitch drag torque, the maximum pitch angle, and the pre-obtained total efficiency of the wind power pitch system, the total energy for emergency feathering is calculated.
[0058] In a specific implementation, combined with Figure 2 In step S2.2, the total energy calculation for emergency feathering is performed based on the average pitch drag torque, maximum pitch angle, and the pre-obtained total efficiency of the wind power pitch system. This calculation includes: Multiply the average pitch drag torque by the maximum pitch angle, and then divide the product by the pre-obtained total efficiency of the wind power pitch system to obtain the total emergency feathering energy.
[0059] In this embodiment, the formula for calculating the total energy of emergency feathering is: (3) in, E Total energy for emergency feathering; The total efficiency of the pitch system is typically 0.85-0.95, which includes motor efficiency, transmission efficiency, and capacitor charging and discharging efficiency. This represents the maximum pitch angle.
[0060] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 2In step S3.1 of the medium voltage rating determination process, the rated voltage of the capacitor module is determined based on multiple fundamental parameters, specifically including: First, based on the rated voltage of the pitch driver, determine the voltage range of the rated voltage of the capacitor module.
[0061] Then, within the voltage range, based on the rated voltage of the pitch drive and the rated voltage of the supercapacitor cells, the rated voltage of the capacitor module is obtained by rounding up.
[0062] In this embodiment, the rated voltage of the capacitor module Must meet: (4) in, This is the rated voltage for the pitch drive.
[0063] Therefore, higher voltage levels are preferred to reduce capacitor capacity requirements. The specific calculation formula is as follows: (5) in, This is the rated voltage of the capacitor module; ceil ( ) is the floor function, ensuring the number of serially connected units is... It is an integer; This refers to the rated voltage of a single supercapacitor cell.
[0064] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 2 In step S3.2 of the dynamic capacity calculation, based on the rated voltage and total emergency feathering energy, and combined with multiple maintenance positive coefficients, the actual dynamic capacity is calculated, specifically including: The first step is to subtract the square of the rated voltage from the square of the pre-obtained discharge cutoff voltage to obtain the sixth intermediate value.
[0065] The second step is to divide twice the total emergency feathering energy by the sixth intermediate value to calculate the dynamic theoretical capacity.
[0066] In this embodiment, the formula for calculating the dynamic theoretical capacity considering temperature decay and aging decay is as follows: (6) in, C 理论 For dynamic theoretical capacity; This is the discharge cutoff voltage, which satisfies... .
[0067] The third step is to determine the temperature correction coefficient based on the working environment temperature, the aging correction coefficient based on the designed service life, and to pre-set the redundancy coefficient to obtain the multi-maintenance correction coefficient.
[0068] The fourth step is to multiply the temperature correction factor, aging correction factor, and redundancy factor by the dynamic theoretical capacity to obtain the dynamic actual capacity.
[0069] In this embodiment, the formula for calculating the dynamic actual capacity is: (7) in, For dynamic actual capacity; This is a temperature correction factor. This indicates that for every 1°C decrease in temperature, the capacity decreases by 0.8%. T Operating ambient temperature; This is the aging correction factor. This indicates a 2% capacity decay per year. Y Indicates the design service life; This is a redundancy coefficient, which can be adjusted according to the wind speed fluctuation rate of the wind field, and is generally taken as 1.2-1.5.
[0070] Therefore, Figure 2 The S3 process of parameter coupling matching for the supercapacitor has been completed, and the resulting preliminary series-parallel structure scheme contains three key elements, as follows: Series parameters: Determine the number of capacitor cells connected in series in the capacitor module and the corresponding rated voltage of the module.
[0071] Parallel parameters: include the number of parallel branches and the capacitance of a single string capacitor, which are initially determined based on the dynamic actual capacity.
[0072] Core performance parameters: These include the preliminary calculated total module capacity and total equivalent series resistance, which can provide a basic performance basis for subsequent multi-dimensional collaborative verification.
[0073] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 2 The S4 step of the multi-dimensional collaborative verification process involves performing a multi-dimensional collaborative verification of the series-parallel structure scheme based on multi-dimensional basic parameters. Specifically, this includes: On the one hand, the power of the series-parallel structure scheme is checked based on the equivalent series resistance of the individual unit and the peak power of the pitch motor.
[0074] First, calculate the total equivalent series resistance of the capacitor module. The calculation formula is as follows: (8) in, The total equivalent series resistance is... The number of series connections, This is the equivalent series resistance of a single unit. The number of parallel connections.
[0075] Then, the maximum output power of the capacitor module is calculated and verified to be greater than or equal to 1.2 times the peak power of the pitch motor, to ensure that sufficient power can be provided in emergency feathering.
[0076] In this embodiment, the formula for calculating the maximum output power is: (9) in, P max For maximum output power, This represents the peak power of the pitch motor.
[0077] On the other hand, the discharge time of the series-parallel structure scheme is checked based on the average power of the pitch motor.
[0078] In this embodiment, the average discharge current is first calculated, and the specific calculation formula is as follows: (10) in, I avg This represents the average discharge current.
[0079] Then, the discharge duration is calculated, which must meet the safety requirement of being greater than or equal to 30 seconds to ensure the complete execution of the feathering action.
[0080] Specifically, the formula for calculating the discharge duration is: (11) in, This represents the discharge duration.
[0081] On the other hand, based on some intermediate parameters obtained from the power verification and discharge time verification, the equivalent series resistance power loss of the series-parallel structure scheme is verified.
[0082] During this process, it is necessary to calculate the power loss during capacitor discharge and control the power loss to be less than or equal to 50W in order to avoid overheating and damage to the capacitor module and ensure operational safety.
[0083] Specifically, the formula for calculating power loss is: (12) in, P loss This refers to power loss.
[0084] In practical applications, voltage drop verification can be added to replace part of the ESR verification function, temperature rise verification can be used to replace ESR power loss verification, and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method can be used to replace the above threshold judgment step.
[0085] In one embodiment, the optimization of the series-parallel structure scheme specifically includes: First, based on the dynamic actual capacity and the pre-obtained single-string capacity, the optimized number of parallel connections is determined by rounding up.
[0086] Then, based on the optimized number of parallel connections, the optimized total capacity and total equivalent series resistance are determined, resulting in the optimized series-parallel structure scheme.
[0087] In this embodiment, if the capacity of a single string is insufficient, optimization is achieved by increasing the number of parallel connections. The optimized number of parallel connections can be expressed as: (13) in, For the optimized number of parallel connections, For the capacitance of a single string capacitor, This is the floor function.
[0088] Furthermore, the optimized total capacity can be expressed as: (14) in, This represents the optimized total capacity.
[0089] The optimized total equivalent series resistance can be expressed as: (15) in, The optimized total equivalent series resistance, It is the equivalent series resistance of a single unit.
[0090] In practical applications, the optimal selection results for supercapacitors can be presented in the form of a selection report. The generation of the selection report is based on the core support of the entire selection process data. First, the system collects the raw data of three dimensions, namely blade characteristics, pitch system, capacitor and environment, from the basic parameter acquisition stage. Then, it integrates the calculation logic, formulas and results of the total energy of emergency feathering. Simultaneously, it includes the basis for determining the rated voltage of the capacitor module, the value and calculation process of the three-dimensional correction coefficient of the dynamic actual capacity, and the verification formulas, judgment criteria and verification results of various indicators for multi-dimensional collaborative verification. Finally, it incorporates the adjustment logic of series and parallel structure optimization, the final determined structural parameters and core results such as total capacity and total ESR. At the same time, it supplements the full life cycle adaptability analysis including the impact of temperature and aging on capacitor performance. After data verification and logical sorting, it is integrated to form a complete selection report, ensuring that the report data is detailed and the logic is clear, which can directly provide a basis for engineering applications.
[0091] In summary, this invention focuses on precise quantification, full life-cycle reliability, and engineering adaptation optimization. It breaks away from the traditional extensive model of wind turbine pitch supercapacitor selection based on experience, single-index verification, and fixed redundancy. Instead, it establishes an adaptation selection system that couples load, system, and environment in all dimensions. This ensures that the capacitor meets the safety requirements for emergency feathering under all operating conditions, including full temperature range, full life cycle, extreme wind speed, and bearing wear, while achieving a balance between non-redundant capacity, cost-effectiveness, and feasible structure.
[0092] Specifically, the supercapacitor adaptation and selection method for wind power pitch control systems provided by this invention has at least the following advantages compared with existing solutions: First, the selection accuracy is improved. By correcting bearing friction and coupling dynamic loads, the error in energy demand calculation is effectively reduced, resulting in higher selection accuracy.
[0093] Second, reliability is enhanced. The dynamic redundancy coefficient adapts to temperature and aging degradation, improving the success rate of emergency feathering and reducing the failure rate.
[0094] Third, cost reduction: high-voltage, low-capacity coupling matching reduces the size and weight of capacitor modules, saving material costs.
[0095] Fourth, it is highly versatile and applicable to the blade specifications of current mainstream wind turbine models. The standardized calculation framework does not require separate modeling, making it more adaptable.
[0096] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
