Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wind power generation, and in particular to a dual-power independent power supply structure for a wind turbine generator set safety chain. Background Technology
[0002] The safety chain of a wind turbine generator set is a hardware circuit independent of the wind power generation control system. Even if the control system fails, it can still trigger an emergency shutdown, ensuring the unit stops operating immediately under extreme fault conditions (such as overspeed or mechanical overload). Currently, the safety chain circuit and equipment power supply of wind turbine generator sets basically share a switching power supply + UPS with other non-safety chain equipment. The safety chain circuit is not independently powered by other equipment; other equipment within the wind turbine generator set constitutes a significant portion of the system. If other equipment fails, the power supply circuit protection switch will trip, causing the safety chain circuit to lose power simultaneously. Alternatively, if the shared switching power supply + UPS power supply circuit fails, the safety chain and other equipment will lose power simultaneously, leading to safety chain failure. However, during normal operation of wind turbine generator sets, switching power supply or UPS power supply failures occur frequently. Therefore, to improve the reliability of the 24VDC power supply system, a redundant design for the wind turbine generator set electrical main control panel, as disclosed in CN212412763U, is proposed. This design allows the electrical main control panel to continue operating normally even if one power supply line fails or is lost, preventing unit shutdown or other unit failures and increasing unit power generation. However, the redundant power supply line disclosed in CN212412763U only provides two independent sets of switching power supplies, UPS, and batteries to meet the power supply capacity of all 24VDC equipment in the entire machine. The application cost of this solution is relatively high, and it does not address the separation of the safety chain circuit from the power supply circuits of other equipment, nor does it resolve the impact of other equipment failures on the safety chain power supply circuit. Once a failure of other equipment causes the upper terminal block protection switch to trip, the safety chain power supply circuit connected to that terminal block will also fail simultaneously, resulting in the failure of the safety chain protection or power outage and shutdown.
