High voltage ride-through, or HVRT, refers to the ability of a wind turbine to maintain grid connection and not unexpectedly disconnect from the grid due to overvoltage protection when the grid voltage temporarily exceeds a certain specified percentage of the rated voltage for some reason, thus ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the power grid.

[0003] Existing high voltage ride-through testing equipment has the following problems:

[0004] 1. Poor connection stability: The connection between the test equipment and the wind turbine is prone to loosening, which may lead to test interruption or safety accidents;

[0005] 2. Insufficient simulation accuracy: Existing technologies mostly use simple capacitors or reactors to simulate voltage regulation, with simple control logic, making it difficult to truly reflect the dynamic fault characteristics of the power grid;

[0006] 3. Low level of automation: It relies on manual operation and cannot adapt to the needs of automatic testing under multiple working conditions and parameters.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a high-voltage ride-through testing device for wind turbine generators to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0032] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified. Furthermore, the terms "installed," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly; for example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a high voltage ride-through test device for wind turbine generator sets, including: a test box 1, with connecting wires 2 connected to both ends of the test box 1, and fixing components 3 respectively installed at the ends of the two connecting wires 2; a test circuit board 4 and a supercapacitor module 5 are installed inside the test box 1, and a display screen 6 is installed on the top of the test box 1, with a protective shell 7 sealingly fitted to the display screen 6 on the outside; the test circuit board 4 can be connected to the wind turbine generator set under test and the power grid through the connecting wires at both ends; the test circuit board 4 is equipped with a current-limiting reactor group X1, a parallel capacitor group C1, a thyristor T and multiple circuit breakers, wherein the current-limiting reactor group X1 is connected to the side closer to the power grid to limit the inrush current, high-order harmonics and short-circuit fault current in the system; the parallel capacitor group C1 is dynamically simulated to simulate the grid voltage by adjusting the input amount; the supercapacitor module 5 is connected to the DC bus of the wind turbine generator set under test to absorb or release instantaneous power and improve the voltage regulation response speed.

[0034] Specifically, the test circuit board 4 is provided with a main detection circuit 401 and a detection branch circuit 402. The current-limiting reactor group X1 is connected to the main detection circuit 401, and the thyristor T and the parallel capacitor group C1 are connected to the test point on the detection branch circuit 402. One end of the detection branch circuit 402 is connected to the main detection circuit 401. The two ends of the main detection circuit 401 are respectively provided with a first circuit breaker CB1 and a second circuit breaker CB2. When both the first circuit breaker CB1 and the second circuit breaker CB2 are closed, it can be used to test the high voltage ride-through capability of the wind turbine generator set.

[0035] In this embodiment, a transformer 8 is connected between the power grid and the test circuit board 4. A non-detection bypass 403 is also provided on the test circuit board 4 between the transformer 8 and the wind turbine. A third circuit breaker CB3 is connected to the non-detection bypass 403. After the test is completed, the first circuit breaker CB1 and the second circuit breaker CB2 can be disconnected, while the third circuit breaker CB3 remains closed, so that the wind turbine can maintain normal grid connection.

[0036] In this embodiment, the supercapacitor module 5 is connected to the DC bus of the wind turbine under test through a bidirectional converter 9. The bidirectional converter 9 can control the charging and discharging of the supercapacitor module 5 to achieve dynamic balance of the DC bus voltage.

[0037] The test chamber 1 is also equipped with an intelligent monitoring module, which is used to collect the voltage, current and power data of the wind turbine under test in real time, compare them with the preset threshold, and automatically trigger different test conditions. The display screen 6 is used to display the collected voltage, current and power data.

[0038] When a wind turbine is operating normally, its terminal voltage is at its rated voltage. When the series reactor is connected, the short-circuit capacity of the power grid decreases. Then, a parallel capacitor bank is connected, raising the terminal voltage. The increase in voltage is related to the capacity of the connected parallel capacitors. The purpose of the high-voltage ride-through test is to check whether the wind turbine can operate normally after the terminal voltage is raised (the time for this raising is specified in the power grid standards of different countries, and these standards vary). If the turbine can operate normally under various fault conditions within the specified time, it indicates that the turbine has the ability to operate under high voltage conditions, i.e., it has high-voltage ride-through capability. If it cannot operate normally, it indicates that the turbine does not have the ability to operate under high voltage conditions, i.e., it does not have high-voltage ride-through capability.

[0039] In this embodiment, the bottom of the test chamber 1 is provided with four wheels 10 for easy movement. A placement area 12 can be provided on the top of the protective shell 7 for storing the fixing components 3. A handrail 11 is provided at one end of the test chamber 1, making it easier to move the test chamber 1 on the ground.

[0040] In this embodiment, the fixing component 3 includes an upper box 301 and a lower box 302 that are detachably connected. A wire passage hole 303 is formed between the upper box 301 and the lower box 302. Both the upper box 301 and the lower box 302 are integrally injection molded insulating plastic parts. The surface of the wire passage hole 303 is made of insulating rubber. A positioning member 304 is provided in the middle of the lower box 302. The positioning member 304 is electrically connected to the connecting wire 2. A fixing member 305 is provided in the middle of the upper box 301 that cooperates with the positioning member 304 to clamp the cable. The upper box 301 is detachably connected to the lower box 302 by an adjusting screw 306 passing through it.

[0041] More specifically, the positioning component 304 is a semi-circular ring, which facilitates the positioning of cylindrical cables, and the lower part of the fixing component 305 is a serrated component, which can cooperate with the fixing component 305 to clamp the cable and prevent it from coming off or rotating.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model 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 or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
