Background

With the gradual depletion of energy sources such as coal and petroleum, human beings increasingly pay more attention to the utilization of renewable energy sources. Wind energy is increasingly gaining attention as a clean renewable energy source in all countries of the world. The wind power generation device is very suitable for and can be used for generating electricity by utilizing wind power according to local conditions in coastal islands, grassland pasturing areas, mountain areas and plateau areas with water shortage, fuel shortage and inconvenient traffic. Wind power generation refers to converting kinetic energy of wind into electric energy by using a wind turbine generator.

As the power capacity of the wind power generation converter gradually increases, the number of power switching devices (such as Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs)) included in the converter also gradually increases, which results in an equal ratio increase of the probability of device failure in the quality guarantee period. Therefore, the converter is required to have a fault-tolerant operation capability in a certain fault state in addition to the fault protection capability. That is, if the fault condition is within a certain controllable range, the device should continue to generate electricity in the fault condition.

At present, the wind power generation converter generally belongs to serious faults of power switching devices, so that a wind power generation unit is directly stopped, and actually, if the faults are classified and analyzed in detail, the converter still has a certain derating power generation capacity in some fault states.

As shown in fig. 1, a wind park 100 comprises a plurality of blades 101, a nacelle 102, a hub 103 and a tower 104. A tower 104 extends upwardly from a foundation (not shown), a nacelle 102 is mounted on top of the tower 104, a hub 103 is mounted at one end of the nacelle 102, and a plurality of blades 101 are mounted on the hub 103.

The wind generating set 100 of the embodiment of the present invention further includes a converter fault tolerance control system 200. Fig. 2 discloses a schematic block diagram of a converter fault-tolerant control system 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, a converter fault-tolerant control system 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a converter 201, a converter controller 202, and a main controller 203 for a wind turbine generator system 100. The converter 201 comprises a machine side converter 301 for connection with a generator 401 of the wind park 100 and a grid side converter 302 for connection to a grid 402. The machine side converter 301 and the grid side converter 302 are connected by positive and negative dc buses 501, 502. The converter controller 202 is connected to the machine side converter 301 and the grid side converter 302, respectively, for controlling the machine side converter 301 and the grid side converter 302, respectively. The master controller 203 is connected to the converter controller 202.

Wherein, when the converter 201 is in a fault tolerant operation state, the main controller 203 may continue to derate the wind generating set 100 by using at least a part of devices in the converter 201 that do not have faults.

The fault-tolerant operation strategy of the fault-tolerant control system 200 of the embodiment of the invention can enable the converter 201 of the wind generating set 100 to continue derating power generation by using the good devices remained in the converter 201 under a certain fault type condition, thereby reducing the power generation loss of the wind generating set 100 in a specific fault time.

Fig. 3 shows a schematic structure of a machine side converter 301/grid side converter 302 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, each of the machine-side converter 301 and the grid-side converter 302 comprises a plurality of phase modules 600, such as an a-phase module 600, a B-phase module 600, a C-phase module 600, etc. Each phase module 600 includes an upper power switch Q1 and a lower power switch Q2 connected in series, as well as an upper diode D1 connected in anti-parallel with the upper power switch Q1 and a lower diode D2 connected in anti-parallel with the lower power switch Q2. The upper power switch Q1 and the lower power switch Q2 may include IGBTs, for example. The control terminals of the upper and lower power switches Q1 and Q2 of each phase module 600 are connected to the converter controller 202, respectively. The converter controller 202 may respectively send out a control Pulse signal, such as a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal, to the control terminals of the upper power switch Q1 and the lower power switch Q2 of each phase module 600 in the machine-side converter 301 or the grid-side converter 302.

Continuing to refer to fig. 3, taking three phases as an example, for the machine side converter 301, the connection point of the upper power switch Q1 and the lower power switch Q2 of the a-phase module 600 in the machine side converter 301 may be connected to the generator a-phase of the wind turbine generator system 100 through a single-phase filter circuit 601, the connection point of the upper power switch Q1 and the lower power switch Q2 of the B-phase module 600 may be connected to the generator B-phase through a single-phase filter circuit 601, and the connection point of the upper power switch Q1 and the lower power switch Q2 of the C-phase module 600 may be connected to the generator C-phase through a single-phase filter circuit 601. For the grid-side converter 302, the connection point of the upper power switch Q1 and the lower power switch Q2 of the a-phase module 600 in the grid-side converter 302 may be connected to the grid a-phase through a single-phase filter circuit 601, the connection point of the upper power switch Q1 and the lower power switch Q2 of the B-phase module 600 may be connected to the grid B-phase through a single-phase filter circuit 601, and the connection point of the upper power switch Q1 and the lower power switch Q2 of the C-phase module 600 may be connected to the grid C-phase through a single-phase filter circuit 601.

In some embodiments, the predetermined fault status types according to the embodiments of the present invention may include a first fault status type, where the number of the phase modules 600 that have not failed in the machine-side converter 301 is two or more. For example, the a-phase module 600 and the B-phase module 600 are not faulty, and the C-phase, … …, N-phase module 600 is faulty. Taking three phases as an example, fig. 4 discloses a schematic diagram of a machine side converter 301 of the type in which a first fault condition occurs according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, in the machine-side converter 301, the a-phase module 600 and the B-phase module 600 are not faulty, and the C-phase module 600 is faulty.

In the first fault state type, the fault type of the phase module 600 having a fault in the machine side converter 301 may include, for example, an open circuit fault of at least one of the upper power switch Q1, the upper diode D1, the lower power switch Q2, and the lower diode D2. For example, the upper power switch Q1, the lower power switch Q2, the upper diode D1, and the lower diode D2 in the C-phase module 600 in the machine side converter 301 shown in fig. 4 all fail.

When the predetermined fault state type of the converter 201 belongs to the first fault state type, the converter controller 202 can find out the failed phase module 600 through the detection means, and the main controller 203 can lock the failed phase module 600 and continue to control the phase module 600 which is not failed.

In one embodiment, the master controller 203 may issue a continuous off signal to the power switching devices of the failed phase module 600 such that these power switching devices are turned off and the failed phase module 600 is blocked. The main controller 203 may recalculate the related control formula and control strategy (e.g., coordinate system transformation formula) of the converter 201 and related parameters (e.g., operation power limit value, dc voltage reference value, etc.) according to the new circuit topology after the failed phase module 600 is blocked, and the main controller 203 may send a control pulse signal, e.g., PWM signal, to the power switching devices of the non-failed phase module 600. Therefore, the wind turbine generator system 100 can continue to generate electricity in a derated manner, and the loss of the amount of electricity generated during the shutdown due to the failure can be reduced.

In other embodiments, the predetermined fault status types according to the embodiments of the present invention may further include a second fault status type, where the second fault status type is that the number of the phase modules 600 that have not failed in the grid-side converter 302 is two or more than two. For example, the a-phase module 600 and the B-phase module 600 are not faulty, and the C-phase, … …, N-phase module 600 is faulty. Fig. 4 also discloses a schematic diagram of a grid-side converter 302 with a second fault condition type according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, in the grid-side converter 302, the a-phase module 600 and the B-phase module 600 are not faulty, and the C-phase module 600 is faulty.

In the second fault state type, the fault type of the failed phase module 600 in the grid-side converter 302 may include, for example, an open circuit fault of at least one of the upper power switch Q1, the upper diode D1, the lower power switch Q2, and the lower diode D2. For example, the upper power switch Q1, the lower power switch Q2, the upper diode D1, and the lower diode D2 in the C-phase module 600 in the grid-side converter 302 shown in fig. 4 all fail.

When the predetermined fault state type of the converter 201 belongs to the second fault state type, the converter controller 202 can find out the failed phase module 600 through the detection means, and the main controller 203 can lock the failed phase module 600 and continue to control the phase module 600 which is not failed.

In one embodiment, the master controller 203 may issue a continuous off signal to the power switching devices of the failed phase module 600 such that these power switching devices are turned off and the failed phase module 600 is blocked. The main controller 203 may recalculate the related control formula and the control strategy (e.g., coordinate system transformation formula) of the converter 201 and related parameters (e.g., operating power limit value, dc voltage reference value, etc.) according to the new circuit topology after the failed phase module 600 is blocked, and the main controller 203 may send a control Pulse signal, such as a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal, to the power switching devices of the phase module 600 that has not failed. Therefore, the wind turbine generator system 100 can continue to generate electricity in a derated manner, and the loss of the amount of electricity generated during the shutdown due to the failure can be reduced.

In still other embodiments, the predetermined fault status types according to the embodiments of the present invention may further include a third fault status type, where the third fault status type is when the generator type used by the wind turbine generator system 100 is a permanent magnet motor, and the number of the phase modules 600 that have not failed in the machine-side converter 301 is less than two. For example, only the a-phase module 600 has no fault, and the B-phase, C-phase, … …, N-phase module 600 has a fault. Using three phases as an example, fig. 5 discloses a schematic diagram of a machine side converter 301 of the type in which a third fault condition occurs according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 5, in the machine-side converter 301, the a-phase module 600, the B-phase module 600, and the C-phase module 600 all fail.

In the third fault state type, the fault type of the failed phase module 600 in the machine side converter 301 may include, for example, an open circuit fault of at least one of the upper power switch Q1 and the lower power switch Q2. For example, the upper power switch Q1 and the lower power switch Q2 in the a-phase module 600, the B-phase module 600, and the C-phase module 600 in the machine side converter 301 shown in fig. 5 all fail.

When the predetermined fault state type of the converter 201 belongs to the third fault state type, the main controller 203 may control to send a continuous turn-off signal to all power switching devices in the machine side converter 301, turn off all power switching devices in the machine side converter 301, and calculate the dc output voltage of the permanent magnet motor under the current rotation speed, because all power switching devices in the machine side converter 301 are turned off and the diodes in the machine side converter 301 are normally turned on in the third fault state type, at this time, the dc output voltage of the permanent magnet motor may be rectified by the diodes. The main controller 203 recalculates the relevant parameters (such as the operation power limiting value, the dc voltage reference value, the grid-side dc voltage feed-forward value, etc.) of the converter 201 according to the dc output voltage, and controls the grid-side converter 302 based on the recalculated relevant parameters of the converter 201.

In one embodiment, when the calculated dc output voltage is higher than the grid-side minimum rectified voltage, the main controller 203 PWM-controlled rectifies the grid-side converter 302.

In another embodiment, when the calculated dc output voltage of the permanent magnet motor after diode rectification is lower than the minimum grid-side rectified voltage, since the output port voltage of the permanent magnet motor can be increased by increasing the rotation speed of the permanent magnet motor within a certain rotation speed range, the main controller 203 can also perform acceleration control on the permanent magnet motor, for example, the main controller 203 can accelerate the permanent magnet motor by changing the pitch (increasing the wind energy capturing capability by opening the pitch) or the like, so that the dc output voltage of the permanent magnet motor after uncontrolled rectification is increased to be higher than the minimum grid-side rectified voltage, and energy flows from the machine-side converter 301 to the grid-side converter 302 to perform power networking. After the rotation speed of the permanent magnet motor is increased, the controller performs PWM controllable rectification on the grid-side converter 302 based on the converter 201 related parameters recalculated by the direct current output voltage.

According to the converter fault-tolerant control system 200 and the wind generating set 100 with the converter fault-tolerant control system 200, provided by the embodiment of the invention, the fault state fault-tolerant operation strategy algorithm of the converter 201 is added under a specific fault working condition, so that the converter 201 still has a certain derating power generation capacity when the phase module 600 has a specific fault, and the power generation loss caused by the fault during shutdown can be reduced.

The embodiment of the invention also provides a fault-tolerant control method of the converter, which is applied to the wind generating set 100. Fig. 6 discloses a flow chart of a fault-tolerant control method of a converter according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in the figure, the fault-tolerant control method of the converter according to an embodiment of the present invention may include steps S11 to S14.

In step S11, when the converter 201 of the wind turbine generator system 100 fails, the converter 201 is controlled to enter a fault-stop state.

In step S12, the fault state type of the converter 201 is diagnosed.

In some embodiments, the fault condition type of the current transformer 201 may be detected by reading a fault feedback signal of the power switching device or by fault condition sampling data.

In step S13, it is determined whether the diagnosed fault state type of the converter 201 belongs to a predetermined fault state type? In the case where the determination result is yes, the process proceeds to step S14.

In step S14, if the diagnosed fault state type of the converter 201 belongs to the predetermined fault state type, the converter 201 is controlled to enter a fault tolerant operation state from a fault shutdown state, wherein in the fault tolerant operation state, the wind turbine generator system 100 continues to generate derated power by using at least a part of devices in the converter 201 which do not have faults.

The converter 201 may comprise a machine side converter 301 for connection with a generator of the wind park 100 and a grid side converter 302 for connection to a grid, each of the machine side converter 301 and the grid side converter 201 comprising a plurality of phase modules 600, each phase module 600 comprising an upper power switch Q1 and a lower power switch Q2 connected in series, and an upper diode D1 connected in anti-parallel with the upper power switch Q1 and a lower diode D2 connected in anti-parallel with the lower power switch Q2.

In some embodiments, the predetermined fault status types may include at least one of a first fault status type and a second fault status type, the first fault status type being that the number of non-faulty phase modules 600 in the machine-side converter 301 is two or more phases, and the second fault status type being that the number of non-faulty phase modules 600 in the grid-side converter 302 is two or more phases. The fault type of the failed phase module 600 includes an open circuit fault of at least one of the upper power switch Q1, the upper diode D1, the lower power switch Q2, and the lower diode D2 under the first fault state type and the second fault state type.

Controlling into the fault-tolerant operating state upon occurrence of the first fault state type and the second fault state type may include: blocking the failed phase module 600; and continuing control of the phase module 600 that has not failed. In one embodiment, blocking the failed phase module 600 may include: a continuous off signal is sent to the power switch of the failed phase module 600. Continuing control of the non-failed phase module 600 may include: a control pulse signal is sent to the power switching devices of the non-failed phase module 600.

In other embodiments, the predetermined fault status types may further include a third fault status type, where the third fault status type is when the generator type used by the wind turbine generator system 100 is a permanent magnet motor and the number of non-faulty phase modules 600 in the machine side converter 301 is less than two. In the third fault condition type, the fault type of the failed phase module 600 includes an open circuit fault of at least one of the upper power switch Q1 and the lower power switch Q2.

Upon occurrence of the third fault state type, controlling into a fault tolerant operational state may include: sending out a continuous turn-off signal to all power switching devices in the machine side converter 301; calculating the direct current output voltage of the permanent magnet motor under the current rotating speed; and controlling the grid-side converter 302 based on the dc output voltage.

In an embodiment, the fault-tolerant control method for the converter according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include: when the dc output voltage is lower than the lowest network-side rectified voltage, the permanent magnet motor may be accelerated by, for example, changing the pitch, so that the dc output voltage of the permanent magnet motor is increased to be higher than the lowest network-side rectified voltage. Wherein the grid-side converter 302 is controlled based on the dc output voltage after the rotational speed of the permanent magnet motor has increased.
