Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of wind power generation and relates to a safety chain voltage stabilizing device for a wind power generator set. Background Art

[0002] The unit safety system in the wind turbine control system is also called the safety chain. The safety chain is the highest level of protection to ensure the safety of the wind turbine. It is a software and hardware protection measure independent of the computer system. The safety chain adopts a reverse logic design to connect the fault nodes that may cause serious damage to the wind turbine in series into a loop. Once a node in the loop is activated, the entire loop will be powered off, the wind turbine will immediately shut down, the actuator will lose power, the unit will be instantly disconnected from the grid, and the main control system and the pitch system will be locked, thereby maximizing the safety of the unit. If the faulty node cannot be restored, the normal operation of the entire unit cannot be achieved. At the same time, the safety chain is also the last line of protection for the entire unit, which is after the software protection of the unit. The safety chain of the wind turbine is very important. Logically, the level of the safety chain system is higher than the control system. Its purpose is to ensure that the wind turbine equipment is still in a safe state when a fault occurs. If a relatively large fault occurs, the task of the safety chain system is to ensure the safe operation of the equipment, so that the 24V circuit of the safety chain is powered off and the wind turbine is shut down normally. The safety chain is generally divided into two parts: the primary safety chain and the secondary safety chain. The primary safety chain is mainly the safety protection device of the main control system, and the secondary safety chain is mainly the security device of the variable pitch system. The safety chain system is mainly composed of multiple nodes such as the reset button, grid-connected contactor, main circuit breaker, generator overspeed module, impeller overspeed module, vibration switch, variable pitch cabinet emergency stop button, main control cabinet (tower bottom cabinet) emergency stop switch, cabin emergency stop switch, etc. After the unit is powered on, under normal conditions, the entire safety chain is powered by 24V. If a component of the unit fails, the node corresponding to it is disconnected and the safety chain loses power. The 230V power supply circuit controlled by the safety relay loses power at the same time, the entire solenoid valve circuit and the AC contactor in the 230V circuit lose pressure, and the unit performs an emergency braking process.

[0003] However, since the control cabinet where the wind turbine generator set safety chain is located is connected to various devices and multiple modules at the same time, the voltage on the safety chain is often affected by the devices and modules in the cabinet, resulting in a large voltage drop. As a result, the emergency shutdown of the wind turbine generator set and the instantaneous disconnection of the unit from the grid due to false triggering often occur, causing unnecessary production safety accidents and economic losses. Therefore, a device that can prevent the wind turbine generator set safety chain from being falsely triggered due to voltage drop is needed to solve this technical problem. Utility Model Content

[0025] Example

[0026] This embodiment converts the wind turbine safety chain system into an independent power supply system, thereby preventing other systems in the control cabinet from affecting the power supply of the safety chain system, causing the safety chain to fail to operate normally or be triggered by mistake.

[0027] This embodiment is a sea-mounted system unit. The PLC modules in the tower base control cabinet 1 and the cabin control cabinet 2 are standard pluggable Beckhoff modules. There are power contact pieces on both sides of each module. After plugging, they are connected to the power contact pieces of the previous and next modules to complete the 24V power supply. In addition, there is a K-bus loop on the module for communication between sites. In order to realize independent power supply of the unit safety chain module, the safety chain module needs to be removed and equipped with an independent UPS power system. The safety chain module is independent of the communication between the sub-site and the PLC.

[0028] First, make corrections to the tower base control cabinet 1. Before maintenance and corrections, first shut down the tower base control cabinet 1, disconnect the tower base 24VDC power supply, the UPS power supply, and then disconnect the tower base 400V power supply. Make sure to make corrections after power is off.

[0029] Remove the wiring at each point of the first safety chain module 3 in the tower base control cabinet 1, and remove the first safety chain module 3 from the guide rail in the cabinet.

[0030] Add two beams and two guide rails, and install the newly added beams on the upper end of the tower base control cabinet 1 cabinet panel. The vertical distance between the two beams is 20cm. After the beams are installed, install the guide rails on the beams.

[0031] A first 230V circuit breaker 31, a first 24V circuit breaker, and a first UPS power supply 32 are newly installed. The first 230V circuit breaker 31 and the first UPS power supply 32 are installed on the newly added upper rail of the control cabinet.

Set the substation communication address of the first safety chain module 3 to "12".

[0033] Secondly, make rectifications to the engine room control cabinet 2. Before maintenance and rectification, first shut down the engine room control cabinet 2, disconnect the 24VDC power supply to the engine room, the UPS power supply, and then disconnect the 400V power supply to the engine room. Make sure that rectifications can be made only after power is cut off.

[0034] Remove the wiring at each point of the second safety chain module 4 in the cabin control cabinet 2, and remove the second safety chain module 4 from the guide rail. Add two crossbeams and two guide rails, and install the newly added crossbeams on the upper end of the cabinet panel of the cabin control cabinet 2. The vertical distance between the two crossbeams is 20cm. After the crossbeams are installed, install the guide rails on the crossbeams.

[0035] A second 230V circuit breaker 41, a second 24V circuit breaker 43, and a second UPS power supply 42 are newly installed. The second 230V circuit breaker 41 and the second UPS power supply 42 are installed on the newly added upper rail of the control cabinet.

Use a new profibus-DP communication bus to connect the tower base "10" station and the tower base "11" station and the tower base optical fiber transceiver, and the cabin "20, 22, 24, 6, 7, 8" stations respectively.

[0038] When the unit hardware modification is completed, the unit program and SCADA will be updated synchronously.

[0039] By equipping the safety chain modules in the tower control cabinet 1 and the cabin control cabinet 2 with independent power supplies, rectifying the communication between the safety chain and the main control PLC, and updating the main control program and SCADA of the unit, the demand for independent power supply of the safety chain system will be met. The phenomenon of large voltage drop of the safety chain module caused by a large number of devices and modules in the control cabinet is eliminated, and the occurrence of false triggering caused by large voltage drop of the safety chain module is avoided.

[0040] To sum up, the utility model leads the power supply of the safety chain module originally arranged in the control cabinet out of the control cabinet, and adds an independent power supply device to power the safety chain module. This eliminates the phenomenon in the prior art that when the safety chain module is installed and powered by the control cabinet, the voltage drop of the safety chain module is large due to the large number of devices and modules in the control cabinet, and avoids the occurrence of false triggering due to the large voltage drop of the safety chain module. Therefore, the utility model has broad application prospects.
