Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of wind power generation, and relates to a component lubrication system of a wind turbine under a power outage state. Background Technique
[0002] The prior art discloses a variety of lubrication systems for wind turbine gearboxes. Some collect grease during spraying lubrication by starting an oil pump, and recycle the lubricating oil by means of cylinder extrusion; some increase multi-precision filter elements to meet the requirement of automatically adjusting the precision of the oil fluid with the change of oil temperature after starting the oil pump, so as to improve the lubrication effect of the oil pump. The above solutions mainly adjust and optimize the oil pump structure and lubrication method under the electrified state to solve the problem of poor lubrication of large components, but the lubrication problem of wind turbines under long-term power failure cannot be solved. The prior art discloses the long-term storage technology of large marine gearboxes, and solves the rust problem through anti-rust and sealing technologies such as closed anti-rust technology and monitoring technology. However, the large components of wind turbines cannot solve the problems of rust and turning marks through simple sealing.
[0003] The prior art charges a capacitor by adding a photovoltaic panel, and adjusts and conveys the electric energy to the load through an external frequency converter. When there is no sunlight and the charging state of the battery is too low, the generator set is used for power supply and energy storage, and seamless switching of the operation mode is realized through a fast switching system among multiple power supplies. The core of the prior art solution is to charge and discharge the energy storage device through a generator or a photovoltaic panel connected to a frequency converter to reduce the working time of the diesel generator itself. However, installing a photovoltaic panel under a wind turbine will be greatly limited by the shielding of the wind turbine tower barrel, and the charging will be greatly restricted. Moreover, working scenarios such as long-term shutdown and open air are not friendly to this solution, resulting in a large number of power electronic devices that need to run for a long time, more complex control and increased self-power consumption. Instead, the battery voltage may be too low, leading to frequent starting of the diesel generator. Therefore, the practicality of this solution in this scenario is not high.
