Wind turbine generator set combining water pumping energy storage and tower barrel resistance adding
Technical Field
The utility model belongs to the technical field of wind power generation equipment, and particularly relates to a wind turbine generator set combining water pumping energy storage and tower barrel resistance adding.
Background
The existing energy storage technical means mainly comprise: physical energy storage, chemical energy storage and electromagnetic energy storage, wherein pumped storage, compressed air energy storage, a flywheel and the like are main means of physical energy storage. Energy storage is still not put into large-scale commercial application at the present stage due to its high cost and imperfect related technology level as a support technology for new energy development. At present, the energy storage technology is not only applied to electrochemical energy storage batteries, but also applied to energy storage of wind power plants. In the existing energy storage technology, the energy storage system is designed and configured in a wind power plant independently according to the capacity proportion, and because the cost of the energy storage system is too high, the energy storage system is rarely configured in the current wind power plant, and only a small-scale centralized energy storage system is configured in a specific wind power plant.
The traditional wind generating set does not have an energy storage function. When the demand of the load side of the power grid is low, the power grid dispatching center can limit the electric quantity of the power generation side on the grid, and at the moment, if the wind resource is good, the limited power operation of the wind generation set can cause a large amount of wind energy loss, and the economic benefit of the wind power plant is damaged; when the demand of the load side of the power grid is high, the power grid dispatching center can provide a demand for the power generation side on-grid power, and at the moment, if the wind resource is poor, the wind turbine generator set cannot respond to the on-grid power demand of the power grid. The best solution to the above problem is to arrange energy storage.
In recent years, with the rapid development of wind power technology, the height of the tower for supporting the wind turbine generator is higher and higher, and the height of the tower of many projects reaches or even exceeds 140 meters. As the height of the tower increases, the rigidity of the structure of the tower is poorer and poorer, and the deformation caused by external load is larger and larger. The large swing displacement at the top of the tower can cause the reduction of the generating efficiency of the unit and can easily cause the component failure in the unit.

The hydraulic coupler 5 has larger loss and lower efficiency than the traditional mechanical coupler 2 in the aspect of torque transmission, so the gear box 1 and the first generator 3 are still connected by the coupler 2.
The control system is connected with the hydraulic coupler 5, and can control the opening and closing of the hydraulic coupler 5 according to requirements, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the operation of the driving device 6.

Specifically, the driving device 6 is disposed in the wind turbine nacelle at the top of the tower 4 and at the rear end of the gearbox 1. The driving device 6 generally adopts a hydraulic motor, the hydraulic motor is connected with a water storage container 8 arranged on one side of the tower drum 4 through a pipeline, and when the hydraulic motor operates, water in the water storage container 8 can be pumped to the top of the tower drum 4 and stored.
According to the utility model, the water tower 7 is designed inside the top of the tower barrel 4, and the water tower 7 is arranged inside the top of the tower barrel 4 and is fixed with the inside of the tower barrel 4 through the fixing beam. The water tower 7 mainly has the following functions: firstly, the water pumped from the water storage container 8 to the water tower 7 by the hydraulic motor is stored, so that the potential energy of converting wind energy into water is stored; secondly, the water tower 7 after storing water can be used as a damper for the resistance of the tower drum 4, the amplitude of the top of the tower drum 4 can be effectively reduced, and the vibration of a cabin is reduced, so that the generating efficiency of a unit is improved.

The hydraulic coupler 5 adopts a speed-regulating type hydraulic coupler, has a flexible transmission automatic adaptation function and a stepless speed regulation function, and can change the output torque and the output rotating speed by regulating the liquid filling amount of the working cavity in operation under the condition that the rotating speed of an input end is not changed. The output of the hydraulic motor is controlled by controlling the transmission of torque, i.e. the amount of charge in the working chamber of the fluid coupling 5, thereby controlling the amount of energy stored.
When the load end of the power grid is in high demand and needs a wind generating set to generate power in full force, the control system disconnects the hydraulic coupler 5, the hydraulic motor is separated from the gear box 1, the output end of the gear box 1 only has a generator, the wind generating set can generate power according to a normal wind generating set mode at the moment, and absorbed wind energy is completely converted into electric energy and is transmitted to the power grid.

In the mode, the energy of the impeller is transmitted to the gear box 1, the gear box 1 drives the generator and the hydraulic motor to operate through the coupler 2 and the fluid coupling 5, but the generator idles and does not generate electric energy, and the hydraulic motor operates to pump water in a container at the bottom of the tower 4 into a water tower 7 at the top of the tower 4. In this mode, the energy of the impeller is completely converted into potential energy of water to be stored, and when the potential energy of the water is needed subsequently, the water can be released from the water tower 7 and released to the turbine device at the bottom of the tower 4 through a pipeline, and the potential energy of the water is converted into electric energy to be transmitted to a power grid.
The working principle of the utility model is as follows:
when the demand of a load end of a power grid is small and the limitation requirement is set on the on-grid electric quantity of the wind generating set, the control system obtains the amount of energy generated by the wind generating set which needs to be converted into electric energy to be sent to the power grid, and the amount of energy which needs to be converted into potential energy of water through water pumping and energy storage to be stored.
