Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind power generation technology, and in particular to a wind power converter control and monitoring system. Background Technology
[0002] As a renewable energy generation technology with large-scale development potential, wind power has become one of the core pillars of my country's energy structure transformation, with its installed capacity and energy contribution in the new power system continuing to rise. As a core link in the wind power industry chain, the continuous iteration of wind power technology has not only driven the transformation of energy production methods, but also placed higher demands on the flexibility, stability, and economy of the power system.
[0003] Wind power converters are the core components for energy conversion and control in wind turbine generators, and their technical performance directly determines the grid adaptability and power regulation capabilities of the wind turbine generators. The core function of this equipment is to convert the variable frequency and voltage AC power output from wind turbines (especially mainstream doubly-fed induction generators and permanent magnet synchronous generators) into constant frequency and voltage electrical energy conforming to grid standards through rectification, filtering, and inversion, thereby achieving reliable energy feed into the grid. In the context of new power systems with a high proportion of renewable energy grid integration, the role of wind power converters has upgraded from a traditional "energy conversion unit" to a "system support unit." They need to possess grid support capabilities such as low voltage ride-through (LVRT), high voltage ride-through (HVRT), inertial response, and primary frequency regulation to cope with grid voltage / frequency fluctuations and improve system transient stability.
[0004] From a topological perspective, wind turbine converters typically employ a back-to-back dual PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) converter topology, consisting of a generator-side converter (MSC), a grid-side converter (GSC), and an intermediate DC bus. The generator-side converter is directly connected to the generator stator or rotor, using vector control strategies to precisely regulate generator speed and torque, thereby tracking the Maximum Power Capture (MPPT) curve and maximizing the wind energy utilization factor (Cp). The grid-side converter connects the DC bus to the grid, its main function being to maintain DC bus voltage stability while simultaneously achieving unity power factor control, reactive power regulation, and harmonic suppression, ensuring that the power quality of the grid-connected current meets relevant requirements. The coordinated control of these two converters is crucial for ensuring efficient and stable operation of wind turbines across a wide wind speed range. The sophistication of their control algorithms (such as model predictive control and sliding mode control) directly impacts the dynamic response speed and grid-connected performance of the turbine.
[0005] As a complex nonlinear system integrating mechanics, electrical systems, and control systems, the operating status of wind turbines is affected by a combination of environmental factors such as wind speed, turbulence, and temperature, as well as the aging of their own components. To achieve optimal wind energy capture efficiency and return on assets throughout the entire life cycle, a comprehensive condition monitoring and full life cycle management system needs to be established during the commissioning and operation and maintenance phases of the unit. Utility Model Content

At the same time, it feeds back status signals such as converter voltage and current, realizing signal interaction between the converter and the wind turbine main control system, coordinating with the stable operation of the unit, and ensuring normal power generation.
