要となる。 Generally, in large propeller type wind turbines, it is customary to maintain a constant rotational speed condition from the viewpoint of structural strength and the like. When generating wind power using such a large propeller-type wind turbine, the rated output can be obtained if the wind speed is above a certain value, but if the wind speed is lower than that, the rated output will not be reached. Moreover, most of the operating time is spent generating power below the rated power and inputting power to the grid, so it is extremely important to improve the performance of wind turbines in this area.

ない。 Conventional large propeller type wind turbine (approximately 50kW or more)
As shown in Figure 5, as an operation control corresponding to the above wind speed, when the wind speed is higher than the rated wind speed, the pitch angle of the blade is adjusted to operate in constant power mode, and when the wind speed is lower than the rated wind speed, the pitch angle is maintained constant. Driving in corner mode. However, in the constant pitch angle mode described above, when the pitch angle is shallower than a certain limit, that is, when the blade is close to flat, there is a wind speed region where the aerodynamic efficiency suddenly decreases, and the machine is not able to operate efficiently evenly. I can't.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a control method for a propeller-type wind turbine that enables extremely highly efficient operation by extracting the maximum output while controlling the wind turbine.

るものである。 That is, in the control method of the present invention, in controlling a large propeller-type wind turbine that operates while maintaining a constant rotation speed, an anemometer attached to the wind turbine detects the wind speed, and a computer calculates a range of wind speeds below the rated wind speed of the wind turbine. The pitch angle at which the maximum power can be obtained corresponding to the wind speed detected by the anemometer is calculated, and the pitch angle of the blade is adjusted by driving a pitch angle operating mechanism based on the calculation result. It is something.

The horizontal axis shows the tip speed ratio μ (=RΩ/U , where R: wind turbine radius, Ω: wind turbine rotation speed, U: wind speed), and the pitch angle and performance coefficient corresponding to the value of μ are shown. As is clear from this figure, when applying the general constant pitch angle mode in a low wind speed range below the rated wind speed, the pitch angle of the blade is kept at a constant value β', and the value of μ in that case is The corresponding change in the coefficient of performance is shown by the curve Cp'. On the other hand, when the maximum power mode of the present invention is applied, μ
