Description

The present invention relates to a wind turbine generator that uses wind power.

  A conventional wind power generation system will be described. The windmill is connected to a generator, the windmill is rotated by wind power, and the windmill drives the generator to generate power. When a synchronous generator is used as the generator, the generator stator is connected to the forward converter, the AC power output from the generator is converted to DC power by the converter, and further the commercial frequency by the inverter. Is converted to AC power and supplied to the power system. The converter controls the output of the generator according to a power command given from the outside. An example of such a wind power generation system is described in Patent Document 1.

  The wind power generation system is greatly influenced by fluctuations in wind speed, and the rotational speed of the windmill fluctuates. When the rotational speed of the windmill deviates from the operating range, the operation is usually stopped to protect the windmill. Therefore, conventionally, when the wind speed fluctuates, the pitch angle of the blade of the windmill is controlled according to the wind speed, or the power command given to the converter is adjusted according to the wind speed to suppress fluctuations in the rotational speed of the windmill. .

JP 2002-233193 A (Description of paragraphs (0029) to (0031))

  However, controlling the pitch angle by driving the blades of the wind turbine according to the wind speed is not highly responsive because it includes a mechanical operation, and even when adjusting the power command given to the converter according to the wind speed Is determined by a power curve based on the average wind speed, so it is difficult to follow a transient change in wind speed. For this reason, when the wind speed changes suddenly, the rotational speed of the windmill may deviate from the operating range and the windmill may stop. In such a case, it is necessary to start the windmill again.

  However, in order to increase the wind turbine power generation amount, it is desirable that the wind turbine can be continuously operated as much as possible even when the wind speed changes suddenly. Since the wind turbine power generation cost can be reduced if the wind turbine power generation amount increases, it is important to continuously operate the wind turbine to improve the wind turbine utilization rate. In addition, if the windmill can be operated continuously, the number of operations of a switch or the like connecting the windmill to the system can be reduced, and the life of these devices can be extended.

An object of the present invention is to suppress the rotational speed of the windmill from deviating from the operating range, and to improve the utilization ratio of the windmill.

The present invention is a wind power generator comprising a generator connected to a shaft of a wind turbine, a converter connected to the generator, and a control device for controlling the converter, the control device comprising: When the rotational speed of the windmill is in a predetermined region within a range where power generation operation is possible, the output power from the generator is controlled following an output power command, or a wind turbine generator, Determining a region within the rotational speed range of the wind turbine capable of generating power, creating an output power command of the generator, and following the output power command when the rotational speed of the wind turbine is in the region The above object is achieved by a method for controlling a wind turbine generator that controls output power from a generator.

Alternatively, the present invention is a control device that controls driving of the converter of a wind turbine generator including a generator connected to a shaft of a windmill and a converter connected to the generator, the windmill The control device controls the power output from the generator so as to follow the output power command when the rotation speed of the generator is in a predetermined region within the range in which power generation operation is possible. The above object can be achieved by the apparatus.

FIG. 2 shows a detailed configuration of the speed controller 13. The speed controller 13 includes a limiter 21, a subtracter 22, an active power correction command calculator 23, a change rate limiter 24, and an adder 25. An input of the limiter 21 is a rotational speed detection value ω detected by the speed detector 11, and an upper limit value and a lower limit value of the limiter 21 are given by an upper limit value ω_max and a lower limit value ω_min of the rotational speed of the wind turbine 1, respectively. The subtractor 22 calculates the difference between the rotational speed detection value ω and the output of the limiter 21. The active power correction command calculator 23 calculates an active power correction command ΔP 1 based on the output of the subtractor 22. The active power correction command calculator 23 is composed of, for example, a proportional integral control system. When the input becomes zero, the integral value is reset and the output is set to zero. The rate-of-change limiter 24 normally outputs the active power correction command ΔP1 output from the active power correction command calculator 23 as it is, but has a function of suppressing the rate of change of the output within a certain range. And The adder 25 adds the output ΔP2 of the change rate limiter and the active power command P_c given from the outside, and outputs the active power command P_ref to the synchronous generator 2.

  Next, the operation of the speed controller 13 will be described. FIG. 3 shows an example of operation waveforms of the speed controller 13. When the rotational speed detection value ω detected by the speed detector 11 is between the upper limit value ω_max and the lower limit value ω_min of the limiter 21, the output of the subtractor 22 becomes zero, so that the active power correction command calculator 23 outputs The active power correction command ΔP1 to be reset is zero, and the output ΔP2 of the change rate limiter 24 is also constantly zero. Therefore, the output P_ref of the adder 25 matches the active power command P_c given from the outside. That is, when the rotation speed detection value ω is between the upper limit value ω_max and the lower limit value ω_min of the rotation speed of the windmill 1, the speed controller 13 directly applies the active power command P_c given from the outside to the synchronous generator 2 as it is. Output as a power command P_ref.

  On the other hand, when the rotational speed detection value ω detected by the speed detector 11 is larger than the upper limit value ω_max of the limiter 21, the output of the subtractor 22 becomes positive, so the active power correction output from the active power correction command calculator 23 is corrected. The command ΔP1 increases, and the output ΔP2 of the change rate limiter 24 also increases. Therefore, the output P_ref of the adder 25 outputs a value larger than the active power command P_c given from the outside. That is, when the detected rotational speed value ω is larger than the upper limit value ω_max of the rotational speed of the windmill 1, the speed controller 13 corrects the active power command P_ref to the synchronous generator 2 so as to increase. It continues until the rotational speed detection value ω detected by the detector 11 falls below the upper limit value ω_max of the limiter 21. When the effective power output from the synchronous generator 2 becomes larger than the power given from the wind to the blades of the windmill 1, the rotational speed of the windmill 1 decreases, so that the rotational speed detection value ω is larger than the upper limit value ω_max. The correction works in the direction of decreasing the rotational speed of the windmill 1.

  On the contrary, when the rotational speed detection value ω detected by the speed detector 11 is smaller than the lower limit value ω_min of the limiter 21, the output of the subtractor 22 becomes negative, so that the active power output by the active power correction command calculator 23 is output. The correction command ΔP1 decreases, and the output ΔP2 of the change rate limiter 24 also decreases. Accordingly, the output P_ref of the adder 25 outputs a value smaller than the active power command P_c given from the outside. That is, when the detected rotational speed value ω is smaller than the lower limit value ω_min of the rotational speed of the windmill 1, the speed controller 13 corrects the active power command P_ref to the synchronous generator 2 in a decreasing direction. It continues until the rotational speed detection value ω detected by the detector 11 exceeds the lower limit value ω_min of the limiter 21. When the effective power output from the synchronous generator 2 is smaller than the power applied from the wind to the blades of the windmill 1, the rotational speed of the windmill 1 increases. Therefore, when the rotational speed detection value ω is smaller than the lower limit value ω_min This correction works in the direction of increasing the rotational speed of the windmill 1.

  By the operation of the speed controller 13 described above, when the rotational speed of the windmill 1 deviates from the set range, the speed control is performed so that the rotational speed of the windmill 1 is suppressed within the set range, and the rotational speed of the windmill 1 is within the set range. In this case, active power control is performed according to an active power command given from the outside. As shown in the present embodiment, since the windmill can be continuously operated even when the wind speed changes suddenly, the windmill utilization rate can be improved, the windmill power generation amount can be increased, and the windmill power generation cost can be reduced. Further, since the windmill can be operated continuously, the number of operations of a switch or the like connecting the windmill to the system is reduced, and the life of these devices can be extended.
