Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of variable pitch control systems for wind turbine generator sets, and in particular relates to a recording and protection device for variable pitch supercapacitor testing equipment. Background Art

[0002] The variable pitch system is the core component of the wind turbine control system and an important part of its safety. When a wind turbine fails, the variable pitch system is required to change the pitch angle of the blades to achieve the purpose of braking. The variable pitch supercapacitor is an important part of the safety of the variable pitch system. When the wind turbine power grid fails or is disconnected from the grid, the variable pitch system is powered by the supercapacitor group to achieve braking.

[0003] The supercapacitors used in wind turbine pitch control systems have the advantages of high power density, fast charging speed, long cycle life, and wide operating temperature range. They are very suitable for backup power supply of wind turbine pitch control systems in harsh working environments. The life of supercapacitors used in conventional wind turbine pitch control systems is 10 years. In the selection process, the life of supercapacitors is expected to be tested. The accelerated aging test developed by Maxwell in the industry is usually used. The supercapacitor is charged to the rated voltage, the ambient temperature is maintained at 65°C, and after continuous floating charge for 1500 hours, its electrical performance is verified again to be normal.

[0004] In the supercapacitor life test, the equipment required includes a DC charger and an oven. In the process of verifying its life, the supercapacitor often generates heat, produces gas, leaks, or even explodes during the floating charge process due to the insufficient design life of the supercapacitor, causing equipment loss or personal injury. Therefore, when testing the supercapacitor life, it is necessary to add external recording and protection devices. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the problem in the prior art that the life test of a super capacitor may easily cause equipment loss or personal injury, the utility model provides a recording and protection device for a variable pitch super capacitor test device.

[0015] The second bus terminal module 6 is a digital output module, in which the third channel DO1 and the fourth channel DO2 are used. When the PLC controller 4 controls the signal output, the third channel DO1 and the fourth channel DO2 will output a high level.

[0016] The third bus terminal module 7 is a temperature measurement module, in which a first interface +R1 and a second interface -R1 are used. The first interface +R1 and the second interface -R1 are respectively connected to two signal lines of a temperature measurement element.

[0019] The first channel DI1 of the first bus terminal module 5 is connected to a timing button 3 ; when the timing button 3 is pressed, the PLC controller 4 starts timing.

[0020] When the total time of the floating charge test of the supercapacitor module 16 under test is greater than 1500 hours, the PLC controller 4 controls the second bus terminal module 6 to stop the third channel DO1 and the fourth channel DO2 from outputting a high level, thereby de-energizing the first contactor KM1 and the second contactor KM2 coils, and then the first contactor contact 13 and the second contactor contact 14 are disconnected, and the oven 17 and the AC / DC charger 18 are powered off and stop running.

At the same time, the utility model can also judge whether the supercapacitor produces gas, leaks or explodes during the life test by the smoke concentration in the ambient air. If a problem is found, the power supply of the oven and the charger can be cut off in time to prevent the accident from further deteriorating. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
