The present application will be better understood from the following detailed description of non-limiting embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, like or similar reference numerals indicate like or similar features.
The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present application will be described in detail below. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present application may be practiced without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of the present application by illustrating examples of the present application. The present application is by no means limited to any specific configuration and algorithm proposed below, but covers any modification, replacement and improvement of elements, components and algorithms without departing from the spirit of the present application. In the drawings and the following description, at least some of the well-known structures and techniques are not shown in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the present application.
With the development of the wind power generation technology, the requirements for the quality of the electric energy of the wind turbine are becoming higher and higher. The wind turbine can be equipped with a converter, the converter includes a filter, and the filter can filter out the current harmonics on the power grid side. Therefore, the electric energy of the wind turbine can meet the requirements of the power grid, so that the wind turbine can be connected to the power grid. In particular, the filter may have an LCL structure, that is, the filter includes a leakage inductance of a box-type substation, a filter capacitor and a reactor. The converter includes a contactor, and the filter capacitor is connected to three phases of the power grid through the contactor.
For example,
Under a condition that the contactor of the converter receives the switching instruction, the switching on or off action indicated by the switching instruction may not be immediately successfully performed. Nevertheless, after a delay duration, the switching on or off action indicated by the switching instruction may be successfully performed. It is difficult to estimate the delay duration. In the process of controlling the filter capacitor to be switched on or off by controlling the contactor to be switched on or off according to the switching instruction, the contactor may subject to the impact of large current transmitted by the power grid. Therefore, the life of the contactor may be affected, failure of the contactor may be caused, and failure of the wind turbine may be caused.
The embodiments of the present application provide a filter capacitor switching control method, device and system for a converter of a wind turbine, which can control the time when the contactor is actual switched on or off to be within the time period when the voltage of the power grid is low. Therefore, the contactor can be prevented from being impacted by large current, and the risk of failure of the contactor and the wind turbine may be reduced.
Step S101: acquiring a contactor delay influence factor of the converter and an approximate zero voltage period of the power grid connected to the wind turbine.
The contactor delay influence factor is a factor that affects the duration from when the contactor receives a switching instruction to when the switching on or off action indicated by the switching instruction is actual performed. In some examples, the contactor delay influence factor includes one or more of an ambient temperature of the contactor, an ambient humidity of the contactor, a contactor delay duration when the filter capacitor is switched last time, and the voltage of the power grid.
The ambient temperature of the contactor is the temperature of the environment where the contactor is located. The ambient humidity of the contactor is the humidity of the environment where the contactor is located. The contactor delay duration when the filter capacitor is switched last time is the duration from when the contactor receives the switching instruction last time to when the contactor is switched on or off last time. The voltage of the power grid may specifically be an AC voltage on the power grid side. The contactor delay influence factor is not limited to the above influence factors, and may also include other influence factors affecting the contactor delay duration, which is not limited here.
The absolute value of the voltage of the power grid in the approximate zero voltage period is less than an approximate zero voltage threshold. That is, the approximate zero voltage period is the time period when the absolute value of the voltage of the power grid is less than the approximate zero voltage threshold. The approximate zero voltage threshold can be set according to specific working scenarios and working requirements, which is not limited here. For example,
Step S102: obtaining a contactor delay duration according to the contactor delay influence factor.
The contactor delay duration is a duration from when the contactor receives a switching instruction to when the contactor is switched on or off. For example, under a condition that there is 2 seconds between the moment when the contactor receives the switching instruction and the moment when the contactor is actually switched on or off, the contactor delay duration is 2 seconds.
There is a corresponding relationship between the contactor delay influence factor and the contactor delay duration. The contactor delay duration varies with the contactor delay influence factor. Therefore, the specific contactor delay duration can be determined according to the contactor delay influence factor. The corresponding relationship between the contactor delay influence factor and the contactor delay duration can be obtained by means of machine learning or multiple tests, which is not limited here.
Step S103: determining a switching time point of the filter capacitor based on the approximate zero voltage period and the contactor delay duration.
The switching time point of the filter capacitor is the time point when the switching instruction is transmitted to the contactor. The switching time point of the filter capacitor can be determined based on a time point in the approximate zero voltage period and the contactor delay duration obtained in the above step, so that a time point obtained by the switching time point of the filter capacitor plus the contactor delay duration is within the approximate zero voltage period.
Step S104; transmitting the switching instruction to the contactor when the switching time point is reached, so that a time point of the contactor being switched on or off is within the approximate zero voltage period.
When the switching time point is reached, the switching instruction is transmitted to the contactor. After receiving the switching instruction, and after the contactor delay duration, the contactor is switched on or off. Therefore, the time point when the contactor is actually switched on or off is within the approximate zero voltage period. Thus, when the contactor is being switched on or off, the contactor can be prevented from the impact of large current caused by high voltage of the power grid.
In some examples, the contactor in the above embodiments may specifically be a single-phase contactor. The single-phase contactor can be configured to control the filter capacitor connected to the single-phase contactor to be switched on or off. The number and connection mode of the single-phase contactors can be determined according to the connection mode of the filter capacitor, which is not limited here. For example, the number of filter capacitors is three, and each filter capacitor is connected to one phase of the power grid; under a condition that the filter capacitors are connected in a star connection, three single-phase contactors can be set, and each filter capacitor is correspondingly connected to one single-phase contactor. For another example, the number of filter capacitors is three, and each filter capacitor is connected to one phase of the power grid; under a condition that the filter capacitors are connected in a delta connection, two single-phase contactors can be set, and the two single-phase contactors can be respectively set between any two connected filter capacitors. The single-phase contactor can realize the independent control of switching on or off each filter capacitor, which increases the flexibility of the control of switching on or off the filter capacitor.
In the embodiments of the present application, according to the contactor delay influence factor, the duration from when the contactor receives the switching instruction to when the contactor is switched on or off may be obtained. Based on the obtained contactor delay duration and the approximate zero voltage period within which the absolute value of the voltage of the power grid is less than the approximate zero voltage threshold, the switching time point of the filter capacitor may be determined. When the switching time point is reached, the switching instruction may be transmitted to the contactor, so that the time point of the contactor being switched on or off is within the approximate zero voltage period. Since the absolute value of the voltage of the power grid in the approximate zero voltage period is less than the approximate zero voltage threshold, the time point of the contactor being switched on or off is within the approximate zero voltage period. Therefore, when the contactor is being switched on or off, the contactor can be prevented from the impact of large current caused by high voltage of the power grid, and thus the contactor can be prevented from being damaged. Therefore, the risk of failure of the contactor may be reduced, and then the risk of failure of the wind turbine may be reduced.
Step S1021: obtaining the contactor delay duration according to one or more contactor delay influence factors and influence delays corresponding to the one or more contactor delay influence factors.
In the embodiments of the present application, there may be one contactor delay influence factor, or there may be two or more contactor delay influence factors. Each contactor delay influence factor can correspond to an influence delay. The influence delay corresponding to the contactor delay influence factor is the interval time affected by the contactor delay influence factor from when the contactor receives the switching instruction to when the contactor is switched on or off.
In some examples, under a condition that there is one contactor delay influencing factor, the influence delay corresponding to the contactor delay influencing factor may be used as the contactor delay duration.
In other examples, under a condition that there may be two or more contactor delay influence factors, the influence delay corresponding to each contactor delay influence factor can be obtained. Further, the influence delays corresponding to the two or more contactor delay influence factors may be integratedly calculated based on an integration algorithm, and the calculation result of the integrated calculation may be used as the contactor delay duration. The integration algorithm is not limited here. For example, the influence delays corresponding to the two or more contactor delay influence factors may be added and calculated, and the sum of the influence delays corresponding to the two or more contactor delay influence factors may be used as the contactor delay duration. For another example, calculation coefficients can be respectively set for the influence delays corresponding to the two or more contactor delay influence factors, and the sum of the products of the influence delays corresponding to the two or more contactor delay influence factor and the corresponding calculation coefficients may be used as the contactor delay duration.
Step S1031: determining a target time point within the approximate zero voltage period.
Any point in the approximate zero voltage period can be selected as the target time point. In order to ensure that the impact of the current on the contactor is as small as possible, the target time point can be as close as possible to the time point when the voltage of the power grid is zero in the approximate zero voltage period.
Step S1032: determining the switching time point based on the target time point and the contactor delay duration.
The target time point is the time point at which the contactor is expected to be switched on or off. The target time point can be used as the end point, and the contactor delay duration can be used as the interval between the start point and the end point. Therefore, the calculated start point is the switching time point.
In some examples, the switching instruction in the above embodiments includes a switching on instruction. The switching on instruction is configured to control the contactor to be switched on. The contactor delay duration is a duration from when the contactor receives the switching on instruction to when the contactor is switched on. The switching time point includes a switching on time point. The filter capacitor is switched on under a condition that the contactor is switched on. The filter capacitor switching on control method is a part of the filter capacitor switching control method. The following is an example of controlling the filter capacitor to be switched on.
Step S201: acquiring a contactor delay influence factor of the converter and an approximate zero voltage period of the power grid connected to the wind turbine.
Step S202: obtaining a contactor delay duration according to the contactor delay influence factor.
Step S203: determining a switching on time point of the filter capacitor based on the approximate zero voltage period and the contactor delay duration.
Step S204: transmitting a switching on instruction to the contactor when the switching on time point is reached.
Step S205: obtaining a first time point when a current of the filter capacitor appears.
The current of the filter capacitor can be monitored in real time. The appearance of the current in the filter capacitor indicates that the contactor is switched on. The first time point when the current of the filter capacitor appears is recorded, and the first time point can be taken as the time point when the contactor is switched on.
Step S206: updating the contactor delay influence factor required to obtain the contactor delay duration next time based on an interval duration between the first time point and the switching on time point.
The first time point can be used as the time point when the contactor is switched on. Correspondingly, under a condition that the contactor delay influence factor includes the contactor delay duration when the filter capacitor is switched on last time, the interval duration between the first time point and the switching on time point can be used as the contactor delay duration when the filter capacitor is switched on last time. Then, the interval duration may be used to obtain the contactor delay duration next time.
After updating the contactor delay influence factor required to obtain the contactor delay duration next time, steps S201 to S206 can be performed cyclically. Therefore, each switching on of the filter capacitor may be achieved based on the updated contactor delay influence factor and the approximate zero voltage period.
The real-time update of the contactor delay influence factor can improve the accuracy that the time point when the contactor is switched on is within the approximate zero voltage period, thereby further reducing the risk of failure of the contactor and further reducing the risk of failure of the wind turbine.
In some other examples, the switching instruction in the above embodiments includes a switching off instruction. The switching off instruction is configured to control the contactor to be switched off. The contactor delay duration is a duration from when the contactor receives the switching off instruction to when the contactor is switched off. The switching time point includes a switching off time point. The filter capacitor is switched off under a condition that the contactor is switched off. The filter capacitor switching off control method is a part of the filter capacitor switching control method. The following is an example of controlling the filter capacitor to be switched off.
Step S301: acquiring a contactor delay influence factor of the converter and an approximate zero voltage period of the power grid connected to the wind turbine.
Step S302: obtaining a contactor delay duration according to the contactor delay influence factor.
Step S303: determining a switching off time point of the filter capacitor based on the approximate zero voltage period and the contactor delay duration.
Step S304: transmitting a switching off instruction to the contactor when the switching off time point is reached.
Step S305: obtaining a second time point when a current of the filter capacitor disappears.
The current of the filter capacitor can be monitored in real time. The disappearance of the current in the filter capacitor indicates that the contactor is switched off. The second time point when the current of the filter capacitor disappears is recorded, and the second time point can be taken as the time point when the contactor is switched off.
Step S306: updating the contactor delay influence factor required to obtain the contactor delay duration next time based on an interval duration between the second time point and the switching off time point.
The second time point can be used as the time point when the contactor is switched off. Correspondingly, under a condition that the contactor delay influence factor includes the contactor delay duration when the filter capacitor is switched off last time, the interval duration between the second time point and the switching off time point can be used as the contactor delay duration when the filter capacitor is switched off last time. Then, the interval duration may be used to obtain the contactor delay duration next time.
After updating the contactor delay influence factor required to obtain the contactor delay duration next time, steps S301 to S306 can be performed cyclically. Therefore, each switching off of the filter capacitor may be achieved based on the updated contactor delay influence factor and the approximate zero voltage period.
The real-time update of the contactor delay influence factor can improve the accuracy that the time point when the contactor is switched off is within the approximate zero voltage period, thereby further reducing the risk of failure of the contactor and further reducing the risk of failure of the wind turbine.
In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application further provide a filter capacitor switching control device for a converter of a wind turbine.

The transmission module 404 may be configured to transmit the switching instruction to the contactor when the switching time point is reached, so that a time point of the contactor being switched on or off is within the approximate zero voltage period.
In the embodiments of the present application, according to the contactor delay influence factor, the duration from when the contactor receives the switching instruction to when the contactor is switched on or off may be obtained. Based on the obtained contactor delay duration and the approximate zero voltage period within which the absolute value of the voltage of the power grid is less than the approximate zero voltage threshold, the switching time point of the filter capacitor may be determined. When the switching time point is reached, the switching instruction may be transmitted to the contactor, so that the time point of the contactor being switched on or off is within the approximate zero voltage period. Since the absolute value of the voltage of the power grid in the approximate zero voltage period is less than the approximate zero voltage threshold, the time point of the contactor being switched on or off is within the approximate zero voltage period. Therefore, when the contactor is being switched on or off, the contactor can be prevented from the impact of large current caused by high voltage of the power grid, and thus the contactor can be prevented from being damaged. Therefore, the risk of failure of the contactor may be reduced, and then the risk of failure of the wind turbine may be reduced.

When the switching time point is reached, the switching instruction may be transmitted to the contactor, so that the time point of the contactor being switched on or off is within the approximate zero voltage period. Since the absolute value of the voltage of the power grid in the approximate zero voltage period is less than the approximate zero voltage threshold, the time point of the contactor being switched on or off is within the approximate zero voltage period.
