Description

  The present invention relates to a wind power generation system, and more particularly to a wind power generation system including an AC excitation generator that is rotationally driven by a windmill.

  In a wind power generation system, AC power having the same frequency as the system frequency is supplied by supplying an AC excitation current having a slip frequency (the frequency of the difference between the system frequency and the rotational speed of the windmill) to the rotor winding of the AC excitation generator. Is generated in the stator winding. The AC excitation current is generated by an excitation converter that converts DC power into AC power having a desired frequency. For this reason, there is an advantage that the rotational speed of the windmill can be changed according to the wind speed and the capacity of the excitation converter can be made smaller than the capacity of the generator.

  In Europe and other countries, there is a standard that wind power generation systems must continue to operate without being disconnected from the system in the event of a grid failure. Operation that reduces the impact of wind power generation systems on the power system Has been demanded.

  However, if the AC excitation generator is not disconnected from the power system when the voltage of the power system drops due to a ground fault in the power system, etc., the AC excitation generator will try to supply current to the point of failure. In operation, an excessive alternating current is induced in the rotor winding of the AC excitation generator. The alternating current is rectified by the excitation converter and flows into the smoothing capacitor, and the voltage across the terminals of the smoothing capacitor becomes excessive.

  As a countermeasure, Patent Document 1 discloses that when the voltage between terminals of the smoothing capacitor in the previous stage of the excitation converter becomes excessive, the DC power stored in the smoothing capacitor is consumed by the overcurrent consumption device, and the terminal of the smoothing capacitor is used. A method for reducing the inter-voltage is disclosed.

JP 2008-306776 A

  However, the wind power generation system disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a problem that the DC power of the smoothing capacitor is unnecessarily consumed by the overcurrent consuming device, so that the efficiency is low.

  Further, when the rotation of the windmill is stopped for reasons such as inspection of the windmill or a typhoon, the entire wind power generation system is stopped, and there is a problem that the utilization rate of the apparatus is low.

  Therefore, a main object of the present invention is to provide a wind power generation system with a high utilization factor of the apparatus.

A wind power generation system according to the present invention includes an AC excitation generator in which a stator winding is connected to an electric power system and a rotor winding is rotationally driven by a windmill , a first converter, a power storage device, 2 is a wind power generation system including two converters . When the windmill rotates and AC power is supplied from the power system, the load is driven by the AC power supplied from the power system, and the AC current generated in the stator winding is supplied to the power system. It is converted into DC power by the first converter, and the DC power is stored in the power storage device and converted into an AC excitation current having a slip frequency by the second converter and supplied to the rotor winding. When the wind turbine rotates and the supply of AC power from the power system is stopped, the AC current generated in the rotor winding is rectified by the second converter and supplied to the power storage device, and the first converter Converts the DC power of the power storage device into AC power and supplies it to the load. When the rotation of the windmill is stopped, an uninterruptible power supply is configured by the first and second converters and the power storage device. The first converter constituting the uninterruptible power supply device converts the AC power from the power system into DC power and supplies it to the power storage device and the second converter during normal times when AC power is supplied from the power system. In the event of a power failure when the supply of AC power from the power system is stopped, the operation is stopped. The second converter constituting the uninterruptible power supply device normally converts the DC power generated by the first converter into AC power and supplies it to the load, and supplies the DC power of the power storage device to AC power during a power failure.

  In the wind power generation system according to the present invention, when the rotation of the windmill is stopped, the first and second converters and the power storage device constitute an uninterruptible power supply. Therefore, when the rotation of the windmill is stopped, the utilization factor of the apparatus can be increased compared to the conventional case where the entire wind power generation system is stopped.

A rotor winding 6 and a stator winding 7 are provided on the rotor and the stator, respectively.

  The rotating shaft of the windmill 3 is coupled to the rotor of the AC excitation generator 5 through the gear 4 and the like. When an AC excitation current having a slip frequency (frequency difference between the system frequency and the wind turbine speed) is supplied to the rotor winding 6 of the generator 5, AC power having the same frequency as the system frequency is generated in the stator winding 7. .

  The windmill 3 is controlled by the windmill control device 8. The windmill control device 8 changes the angle of the blades of the windmill 3 based on the wind speed, the wind direction, and the like, and sets the rotation speed of the windmill 3 and the like. Further, the windmill control device 8 gives a signal indicating the number of rotations of the windmill 3 and the like to the control device 9.

  The stator winding 7 of the generator 5 is connected to the power supply terminal T1 via the switch S1, the system linkage transformer TR1, and the circuit breaker B1. The circuit breaker B1 is normally turned on, and is turned off when the wind power generation system is protected from an excessive current. The switch S1 is normally turned on, and is turned off when the voltage of the stator winding 7 of the generator 5 is synchronized with the system voltage, or when the windmill 3 is stopped for inspection, typhoon, or the like. The system linkage transformer TR1 exchanges AC power between the power system 1 and the wind power generation system.

  A current detector 10 and a voltage detector 11 are provided between the system linkage transformer TR1 and the switch S1, and a voltage detector 12 and a current detector 13 are provided between the switch S1 and the stator winding 7.

  The control device 9 controls the entire wind power generation system based on the output signals from the detectors 10 to 13 and the signal from the windmill control device 8. In particular, when the system voltage detected by the voltage detector 10 is higher than a predetermined voltage, the control device 9 determines that AC power is normally supplied from the power system 1 and is detected by the voltage detector 10. When the system voltage drops below a predetermined voltage, it is determined that the supply of AC power from the power system 1 has been stopped, that is, a power failure has occurred. The control device 9 controls the entire wind power generation system based on the determination result of whether or not the power system 1 is normal.

When the wind turbine 3 is not rotating, it is always turned off.

Further, the switch S7, the AC filter 21, and the switch S8 are connected in series between the converter 17 side terminal of the switch S3 and the transformer TR1 side terminal of the switch S4. Each of the switches S7 and S8 is turned off when the windmill 3 is rotating, and is turned on when the rotation of the windmill 3 is stopped. The AC filter 21 is a low-pass filter including a coil, a capacitor, etc., and AC power of commercial frequency from the converter 17 is passed through the transformer TR 2 to absorb high-frequency switching noise generated in the converter 17 and switch. Noise is prevented from leaking to the load 2.

  When the wind turbine 3 is rotating, during normal times when the power system 1 is normal, the transistors Q11 to Q16 are turned on / off at a predetermined timing, and the DC power supplied from the converter 15 is a three-phase AC excitation with a slip frequency. Converted to current. The three-phase AC exciting current is supplied to the three-phase rotor winding 6 of the generator 5 through the AC lines RL, SL, TL, the three-phase switch S3, and the three-phase coil 18.

  FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram showing a configuration of the shunt circuit 19. Here, the configuration of the shunt circuit 19 when the wind power generation system generates three-phase AC power is shown. In FIG. 3, the shunt circuit 19 includes diodes D <b> 21 to D <b> 26, a resistance element 22, a capacitor 23, and a thyristor 24. The anodes of the diodes D21 to D23 are respectively connected to AC lines RL, SL, TL between the three-phase coil 18 and the three-phase rotor winding 6, and their cathodes are all connected to the node N1.

The anode of the thyristor 24 is connected to the node N1, its cathode is connected to the node N2, and its gate voltage is controlled by the control device 9.

  When the wind turbine 3 is rotating, when the power system 1 is normal, the thyristor 24 is turned off, the three-phase alternating current excitation current generated by the converter 17 is rectified by the diodes D21 to D26, and the resistance element 22 The capacitor 23 is charged via When the capacitor 23 is charged to the maximum line voltage of the AC lines RL, SL, TL, the flow of the three-phase AC excitation current to the shunt circuit 19 is stopped, and the three-phase AC excitation current is supplied to the three-phase rotor winding 6. Flow into.

  When the windmill 3 is rotating, at the time of a power failure, the three-phase alternating current generated in the three-phase rotor winding 6 is rectified by the diodes D21 to D26 and charged to the capacitor 23 via the resistance element 22. When voltage VC between DC positive bus L1 and DC negative bus L2 in FIG. 2 exceeds the upper limit value, thyristor 24 is turned on, capacitor 23 is discharged, and the three-phase AC current generated in three-phase rotor winding 6 is It flows into the shunt circuit 19. Thereby, the current flowing into battery 20 and electrolytic capacitor 16 via converter 17 is reduced, and voltage VC between DC positive bus L1 and DC negative bus L2 is limited to the upper limit value or less. 2 and 3, the case where the present invention is applied to a wind power generation system that generates three-phase AC power has been described. However, the present invention can also be applied to a wind power generation system that generates single-phase AC power. Needless to say.

  Next, the operation of the wind power generation system shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 will be described. First, the case where the windmill 3 is rotating is demonstrated. When the power system 1 is normal, the circuit breakers B1 and B2 and the switches S1 to S3 and S6 are turned on. The windmill 3 is rotated by the wind force, and AC power is generated in the stator winding 7 of the generator 5. This AC power is supplied to the power system 1 via the switch S1, the transformer TR1, and the circuit breaker B1. A part of the AC power generated in the stator winding 7 of the generator 5 is supplied to the converter 15 via the switches S1 and S2 and the AC filter 14, and is converted into DC power by the converter 15.

  The DC power generated by the converter 15 is stored in the battery 20 and the electrolytic capacitor 16 and is also supplied to the converter 17. The converter 17 generates an AC excitation current having a slip frequency based on the DC power from the converter 15, the battery 20, and the electrolytic capacitor 16, and passes through the switch S 3 and the coil 18 to the rotor winding 6 of the generator 5. Supply. Thereby, AC power having a commercial frequency is generated in the stator winding 7 of the generator 5.

  When the windmill 3 is rotating, when a power failure occurs, for example, when a ground fault occurs in the power system 1 and the system voltage drops below a predetermined voltage, the switch S6 is instantaneously turned off. Further, the switch S2 is turned off and the switches S4 and S5 are turned on. When the system voltage decreases, a large alternating current is generated in the rotor winding 6 of the generator 5, and the alternating current is rectified by the converter 17 and flows into the battery 20 and the electrolytic capacitor 16, and the direct current bus L1 and the direct current negative The voltage VC between the bus lines L2 increases.

  Accordingly, the operation of converter 17 is stopped and transistors Q1-Q6 of converter 15 are turned on / off at a predetermined timing. Thereby, the DC power of the battery 20 and the electrolytic capacitor 16 is converted into AC power by the converter 15, and the AC power is supplied to the load 2 via the AC filter 14, the switch S4, the transformer TR2, and the switch S5. When voltage VC between DC positive bus L1 and DC negative bus L2 exceeds the upper limit value, thyristor 22 of shunt circuit 19 is turned on, and voltage VC is limited to the upper limit value or less.

  When the electric power system 1 is restored to the normal state, the switches S4 and S5 are turned off and the switches S2 and S6 are turned on. In addition, the operation mode of converter 15 is changed from the DC-AC conversion mode to the AC-DC conversion mode, and AC power from power system 1 is converted into DC power by converter 15. Further, the operation of the converter 17 is resumed, an alternating current excitation current is supplied to the rotor winding 6, and the alternating current power generated by the generator 5 is supplied to the power system 1.

  Next, the case where the rotation of the windmill 3 is stopped will be described. When the power system 1 is normal, the circuit breakers B1 and B2 and the switches S2, S7, S8, and S5 are turned on. AC filters 14 and 21, converters 15 and 17, battery 20 and electrolytic capacitor 16 constitute an uninterruptible power supply. AC power from the power system 1 is converted into DC power by the converter 15.

  The DC power generated by the converter 15 is stored in the battery 20 and the electrolytic capacitor 16 and is also supplied to the converter 17. Converter 17 converts DC power from converter 15, battery 20, and electrolytic capacitor 16 into AC power having a commercial frequency. The AC power generated by the converter 17 is supplied to the load 2 via the switch S7, the AC filter 21, the switch S8, the transformer TR2, and the switch S5.

  When the rotation of the windmill 3 is stopped, the converter 15 stops when a power failure occurs, for example, when a ground fault occurs in the power system 1 and the system voltage drops below a predetermined voltage. Further, the DC power of the battery 20 and the electrolytic capacitor 16 is converted into AC power of commercial frequency by the converter 17. The AC power generated by the converter 17 is supplied to the load 2 via the switch S7, the AC filter 21, the switch S8, the transformer TR2, and the switch S5. Therefore, even when a power failure occurs in the power system 1, the operation of the load 2 can be continued as long as DC power is stored in the battery 20 and the electrolytic capacitor 16.

  When the power system 1 recovers to a normal state, the operation of the converter 15 is resumed, AC power from the power system 1 is converted into DC power by the converter 15, and the DC power is converted to the battery 20, the electrolytic capacitor 16, and the converter 17. To be supplied. The converter 17 converts DC power into AC power and supplies it to the load 2.

  FIG. 4 is a circuit block diagram showing a comparative example of this embodiment, which is compared with FIG. Referring to FIG. 4, this comparative example is different from the embodiment in that switch S6 is replaced by circuit breaker B3, switches S3 to S5, S7, S8, transformer TR2, circuit breaker B2, battery 20, and AC. The filter 21 is removed, and a switch S9 and a resistance element 25 are added. The switch S9 includes a transistor and a diode, for example, and is controlled by the control device 9.

  The circuit breaker B3 is normally turned on, and is turned off when an excessive current flows through the load 2, for example. When the wind turbine 3 is rotating, it operates in the same manner as in the embodiment when the power system 1 is normal. When the windmill 3 is rotating, during a power failure, the operation of the converters 15 and 17 is stopped and the switch S9 is turned on. As a result, the DC power of the electrolytic capacitor 16 is discharged via the switch S9 and the resistance element 25, and the voltage VC of the electrolytic capacitor 16 is limited to the upper limit value or less. Further, when the rotation of the windmill 3 is stopped, the entire wind power generation system is stopped.

  In this comparative example, since the DC power of the electrolytic capacitor 16 is discharged through the switch S6 and the resistance element 25 at the time of a power failure, the DC power is wasted and the efficiency is lowered. Further, at the time of a power failure, power is not supplied to the load 2 and the operation of the load 2 is stopped. Moreover, since the whole wind power generation system is stopped when rotation of the windmill 3 is stopped, the utilization factor of the apparatus is low.

  In contrast, in the present embodiment, at the time of a power failure, the DC power of the battery 20 and the electrolytic capacitor 16 is converted to AC power and supplied to the load 2. Therefore, the efficiency is higher than that of the comparative example. Further, even during a power failure, the operation of the load 2 can be continued during a period in which the DC power is stored in the battery 20 and the electrolytic capacitor 16. Moreover, when rotation of the windmill 3 is stopped, since it operates as an uninterruptible power supply device, the utilization factor of the device is high.

  The embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
