Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to the field of a wind generating set control technology, and in particular to a method for equivalent differential control of variable pitch and apparatus.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the conventional variable pitch control technology, a generator rotating speed is taken as an input in most cases, a PI controller (proportional integral controller) controls and outputs a variable pitch angle, and then the rotating speed is controlled by a variable pitch executive device.


The traditional PI controller has a simple control structure, and usually acquires a control parameter by means of modeling and adjusting by stimulation software like MATLAB. Since the accuracy of a wind generating set model has a significant influence on the setting result of the control parameter and it is quite difficult to build an accurate model for the kind of large-scale structure with a high degree of nonlinearity like a large wind generating set, the control parameter acquired by means of modeling and adjusting by the stimulation software like MATLAB often differs significantly from an actual wind generating set operational parameter. And generally the PI control method is short of control on dynamic deviation, thus the operating stability of the wind generating set is decreased under the wind condition of quick change of a wind speed.


Overall, the problem of how to acquire an accurate control parameter and how to improve the dynamic variable pitch system action response capability are urgent to resolve at present to the person skilled in the art.

It is important to note that, in embodiments of the present disclosure, by combining PI control, derivation procedure of dynamic energy deviation and PID (Proportion Integration Differentiation) control, a first control parameter, a second control parameter and a third control parameter are acquired respectively; and then by using the acquired three control parameters to control the PID controller, the wind wheel rotating speed of a wind generating set is kept to be equal to the wind wheel reference rotating speed constantly, i.e., by means of adjusting the three control parameters according to actual rotating speed deviation Ω−Ωref in a real-time manner. The rotating speed control capability of a wind generating set under turbulence wind conditions is improved.


According to a method for equivalent differential control of variable pitch provided in the present disclosure, a wind generating set is controlled in a real-time manner by combing first and second control parameters acquired by means of a static energy deviation PI control method and an equivalent differential third control parameter acquired by means of a dynamic energy deviation to serve as parameter values of a PID controller. Compared with the prior art, the method for equivalent differential control of variable pitch provided in the present disclosure may acquire a control parameter with a higher degree of precision in a PID controller, and can improve the dynamic variable pitch action response capability of a large wind generating set under the wind condition of quick change of a wind speed when the wind generating set is controlled by using an equivalent differential parameter acquired by dynamic energy deviation; thus situations such like an over speed of a generating set, an excessive small gap between blade tips, generating an extreme load and the like can be avoided.


Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 illustrates a flow diagram of a method for equivalent differential control of variable pitch according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes steps 201 to 209.


In step 201, a first relation among a wind wheel pneumatic torque, mechanical power and a wind wheel reference rotating speed and a second relation among the wind wheel pneumatic torque, a variable pitch angle, the mechanical power and the wind wheel reference rotating speed are acquired respectively within a variable pitch angle.


In step 202, a relationship between ∂P/∂θ of a blade of a variable-pitch wind generating set and a variable pitch angle θ is acquired by means of blade design, and Taylor expansion is performed on the second relation and on the first relation according to the acquired relationship.

where Idrivetrain is the moment of inertia in drive train of a wind generating set, P is the absorbed power by a wind wheel, θ is the variable pitch angle, {umlaut over (φ)} is the wind wheel rotational acceleration, {dot over (φ)} is the wind wheel rotating speed variation and φ is the wind wheel rotating speed.


In step 205, a stable state of the second-order differential relation of a wind wheel rotating speed is acquired, and a first control parameter and a second control parameter are acquired in the stable state.


In step 206, a wind wheel rotating total energy deviation and a static energy deviation are acquired by means of an aerodynamics torque relationship.


In step 207, the static energy deviation is eliminated, a residual dynamic energy deviation is acquired, and a variable pitch angle of variable pitch absorbed energy is acquired according to the residual dynamic energy deviation.


In step 208, a third control parameter is acquired according to the acquired variable pitch angle.


In step 209, the acquired third control parameter is controlled in a real-time manner according to a wind wheel measurement rotating speed of the wind generating set.


When in the environment of a high wind speed, a variable-pitch wind generator restricts the absorbed wind energy by adjusting the variable pitch angle of a wind wheel blade, thereby keeping the wind generator working in an area set by the rated power. By reason of the influence of the aerodynamic performance of the wind wheel blade, the adjusting of the variable pitch angle of a blade has a non-linear relationship with wind velocity variation. So parameters of a variable pitch controller should be adjusted according to the aerodynamic characteristics of the wind wheel blade to acquire a better variable pitch controlling effect. To reduce the impact on control parameter values caused by an inaccurate modeling by software like MATLAB, a method for equivalent differential control of variable pitch is provided in embodiments of the present disclosure, that is, to adjust PI control parameter by means of dynamic relationships directly.

As shown in FIG. 3, the relationship between ∂P/∂θ of a blade of a variable-pitch wind generating set and a variable pitch angle θ is approximately considered as first-order linear and is easy to obtain by means of blade design. It is important to note that, almost the relationship between ∂P/∂θ of a blade of each variable-pitch wind generating set and a variable pitch angle θ is approximately considered as a first-order linear relationship.

The second acquisition unit 12 may include a sixth acquisition unit 31, a seventh acquisition unit 32 and an eighth acquisition unit 33.

In an apparatus for equivalent differential control of variable pitch according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a 2MW wind generating set under the wind condition shown in FIG. 7 is controlled. FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 illustrate the effect contrast of adopting a traditional control method and adopting the control method according to embodiments of the present disclosure. The dark thick line represents the controlling results by using the control method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, and the light thin line represents the controlling results acquired by using the traditional PI control method. By comparing the two figures, it is known that, by using the method for equivalent differential control of variable pitch according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the acquired wind wheel measurement rotating speed fluctuation of a wind generating set is smaller than the wind wheel measurement rotating speed fluctuation acquired by the traditional PI control method, and the blade tip gap is bigger.
