This application is a National Stage application of PCT international application PCT/CN2015/095569, filed on Nov. 25, 2015 which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201510280381.8, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on May 27, 2015, both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.

›FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of wind power, and in particular to a vibration suppression method and device of a wind power generator.

›BACKGROUND

Wind power generator is an important device for transforming mechanical energy into electric energy. In a wind power generator, there exist electromagnetic forces of multiple different frequencies such as fundamental wave, harmonic frequencies, a cogging frequency and frequency multiplication thereof, etc. In addition, the stator and rotor of the wind power generator have complicated mechanical structure modal. When a force wave order and a frequency of electromagnetic force of the generator correspond to a vibration mode order and a frequency of a stator and rotor mechanical structural modal of the generator respectively, resonance occurs, which results in outstanding vibration and noise problems. By decreasing a magnetic load of the generator, i.e., by decreasing electromagnetic force on stator and rotor of the generator, vibration amplitude of the stator and rotor of the generator is decreased, thereby suppressing vibration and noise of the generator, and implementing an objective of vibration damping and noise reduction.

In an existing technology, the magnetic load of the generator is decreased by changing a mechanical structure and electromagnetic design thereof, such as by increasing the length of an air gap of the generator, optimizing the shape of magnetic pole, inclining the slot (that is, obliquely putting the coils against the stator and rotor of the generator), or inclining a magnetic pole (that is, inclining the magnetic pole) and so on.

With the change of the mechanical structure and the electromagnetic design of the generator, performances thereof, such as power density and force-energy index, are decreased, and the complexity of manufacturing processes and the cost of the generator are increased.

›SUMMARY

A vibration suppression method and device of a wind power generator are provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, which can suppress the vibration and noise of the generator without changing a mechanical structure and an electromagnetic design of the generator. The method and device provided have no disadvantageous influence on performances of the generator such like power density and force-energy index, and does not result to an increase of the complexity of manufacturing processes and the cost of the generator.

To attain the foregoing objective, technical solutions in the following are applied in embodiments of the present disclosure.

A vibration suppression method of a wind power generator is provided according to the present disclosure, which includes: calculating a specified value of flux-weakening control parameter of the generator according to a preset value of an electromagnetic active power of the generator and a frequency of the generator; and controlling the generator according to the specified value of the flux-weakening control parameter of the generator.

›DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS · 1 of 7

A vibration suppression method and device of a wind power generator according to embodiments of the present disclosure are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First Embodiment

Reference is made to FIG. 1 , which is a flow chart of a vibration suppression method of a wind power generator according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1 , the method may include the following steps S 101 to S 102 .

In step S 101 , a specified value of a flux-weakening control parameter of a generator is calculated according to a preset value P e _ ref of an electromagnetic active power of the generator and a frequency f of the generator.

In step S 102 , the generator is controlled according to the specified value of the flux-weakening control parameter of the generator.

Specifically, the flux-weakening control parameter of the generator in the embodiment may be determined by a control mode of the generator. For example, when a current vector control is performed on the generator, the flux-weakening control parameters of the generator in the embodiment includes a specified value I d _ ref of a direct-axis current of the generator and a specified value I q _ ref of a quadrature-axis current of the generator. When a direct torque control is performed on the generator, the flux-weakening control parameter of the generator in the embodiment includes a set value ψ f _ ref of a flux linkage of the generator and a set value T e _ ref of an electromagnetic torque of the generator.

According to the vibration suppression method and device of the wind power generator provided by the present disclosure, a specified value of a flux-weakening control parameter of the generator is calculated according to a preset value of an electromagnetic active power and a frequency of the generator. Then, the generator is controlled according to the specified value of the flux-weakening control parameter of the generator. A magnetic load of the generator is decreased by flux-weakening control. That is, electromagnetic forces on the stator and the rotor of the generator are decreased and vibration amplitudes of the stator and the rotor of the generator are reduced, to realize vibration and noise suppression. Since there is no need to change a mechanical structure and electromagnetic design of the generator, performances of the generator such as power density and force-energy index are not influenced, and the complexity of manufacturing process and the cost of the generator are not increased.

Second Embodiment

Reference is made to FIG. 2 , which illustrates a flow chart of a vibration suppression method of a wind power generator according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2 , the vibration suppression method of the wind power generator according to this embodiment provides a specific implementation (in the case of performing current vector control on the generator) of the vibration suppression method of the wind power generator shown in FIG. 1 . The wind power generator vibration method in this embodiment includes the following steps S 201 to S 202 .

In step S 201 , a specified value I d _ ref of a direct-axis current of the generator and a specified value I q _ ref of a quadrature-axis current of the generator are calculated according to a preset value P e _ ref of an electromagnetic active power of the generator and a frequency f of the generator.

Reference is made to FIG. 3 , which illustrates a flow chart of a step of calculating a specified value of a flux-weakening control parameter of the generator illustrated in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 . The step may include the following steps S 2011 to S 2015 as shown in FIG. 3 .

In step S 2011 , an optimal maximum output torque value I q _ MTPA of the quadrature-axis current of the generator and an optimal maximum output torque value I d _ MTPA of the direct-axis current of the generator are obtained according to a preset value P e _ ref of the electromagnetic active power of the generator.

This step is based on maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) control (also known as optimal torque control). An optimal combination of a direct-axis current component and a quadrature-axis current component of the generator is obtained according to electromagnetic characteristics of the generator, to make the optimal combination meet a maximum generator output torque per ampere. In a case of a given output torque of the generator, the direct-axis current component (i.e. an optimal maximum output torque value I d _ MTPA of the direct-axis current of the generator) and a quadrature-axis current component (i.e. an optimal maximum output torque value I q _ MTPA of the quadrature-axis current of the generator) of the generator are optimally allocated according to the preset value P e _ ref of the electromagnetic active power of the generator, so as to optimize performances of the generator, improve the operating efficiency, reduce copper loss of the generator and lower the capacity requirement of the generator. The MTPA control in this step may be achieved by applying the existing various kinds of MTPA control methods, such as the analytical method or the finite element analysis method, which will not be described herein. In addition, the MTPA control in this step may be achieved by experimental test in advance and the look-up table method.

In step S 2012 , a first flux-weakening specified value I d _ FW 1 _ ref of the direct-axis current of the generator is obtained according to the optimal maximum output torque value I q _ MTPA of the quadrature-axis current and the frequency f of the generator.

In this step, the electromagnetic force of the generator are reduced according to the maximum flux-weakening capability of a converter, to suppress the vibration and the noise of the generator, which is an important step of the method for suppressing the vibration and the noise of the generator through flux-weakening control. The optimal maximum output torque value I q _ MTPA of the quadrature-axis current of the generator is obtained in the foregoing step S 2011 , and the frequency f of the generator may be calculated by the following formula:

›DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS · 2 of 7

f = np n 60

where n denotes a rotate speed of the generator which may be obtained through measurement, and p n denotes the number of pole pairs of the generator.

When the frequency f of the generator is beyond a frequency range of requiring the vibration and noise suppression, the first flux-weakening specified value I d _ FW 1 _ ref of the direct-axis current of the generator is zero. When the frequency f of the generator is within the frequency range of requiring vibration and noise suppression, the first flux-weakening specified value I d _ FW 1 _ ref of the direct-axis current of the generator is calculated by the following formula:

I d _ FW 1 _ ref =√{square root over ( I 2 a _ rated _ max −I 2 q _ MTPA )}

where I a _ rated _ max denotes a maximum value of a rated phase current of the generator, which is determined by a rated heat value of the generator.

The frequency range of requiring vibration and noise suppression may be determined by the following procedures: analyzing a vibration mode order and a frequency of a stator and rotor mechanical structural modal of the generator, and a force wave order and a frequency of electromagnetic force of the generator; determining an overlapping region between the vibration mode order and the force wave order and an overlapping region between the frequency of the stator and rotor mechanical structural modal and the frequency of electromagnetic force; determining a frequency of requiring vibration and noise suppression of the generator through test; and setting a frequency range of plus or minus 5% of the determined frequency as the frequency range of requiring vibration and noise suppression.

In step S 2013 , a second flux-weakening specified value I d _ FW 2 _ ref of the direct-axis current of the generator is obtained according to an actual value U a _ active of a phase voltage of the generator and a maximum output voltage U output _ max of the converter.

This step is based on a flux-weakening control. When an actual value U a _ active of the phase voltage of the generator reaches to the maximum output voltage U output _ max of the converter, flux-weakening control technology is applied to make the actual value U a _ active of the phase voltage of the generator no longer go up. That is, the generator is controlled to operate with the actual value U a _ active of the phase voltage thereof being smaller than or equal to the maximum output voltage U output _ max of the converter. An operation mode of the generator converts from a constant-torque operation mode to a constant-power operation mode, and a range of rotate speed of the generator is enlarged. The maximum output voltage U output _ max of the converter may be obtained according to a direct current bus voltage U dc of the converter. A voltage difference U diff between the actual value U a _ active of the phase voltage of the generator and the maximum output voltage U output _ max of the converter is inputted to a voltage PI regulator (a proportional-integral regulator) to regulate the second flux-weakening specified value I d _ FW 2 _ ref of the direct-axis current of the generator. The flux-weakening control may be achieved by the existing various kinds of flux-weakening control methods, which will not be described in detail for simplicity.

In step S 2014 , a specified value I d _ ref of the direct-axis current of the generator is obtained according to the first flux-weakening specified value I d _ FW 1 _ ref of the direct-axis current of the generator, the optimal maximum output torque value I d _ MTPA of the direct-axis current of the generator and the second flux-weakening specified value I d _ FW 2 _ ref of the direct-axis current of the generator.

The first flux-weakening specified value I d _ FW 1 _ ref of the direct-axis current of the generator is obtained in the above step S 2012 . The optimal maximum output torque value I d _ MTPA of the direct-axis current of the generator is obtained in the above step S 2011 . The second flux-weakening specified value I d _ FW 2 _ ref of the direct-axis current of the generator is obtained in the above step S 2013 . When the first flux-weakening specified value I d _ FW 1 _ ref and the second flux-weakening specified value I d _ FW 2 _ ref of the direct-axis current of the generator are both zero, the optimal maximum output torque value I d _ MTPA of the direct-axis current of the generator is served as the specified value I d _ ref of the direct-axis current of the generator, that is, I d _ ref =I d _ MTPA . When at least one of the first flux-weakening specified value I d _ FW 1 _ ref and the second flux-weakening specified value I d _ FW 2 _ ref of the direct-axis current of the generator is not equal to zero, the smaller one of the first flux-weakening specified value I d _ FW 1 _ ref and the second flux-weakening specified value I d _ FW 2 _ ref of the direct-axis current of the generator is served as the specified value I d _ ref of direct-axis current of the generator, that is, I d _ ref =Min (I d _ FW 1 _ ref , I d _ FW 2 _ ref ).

In step S 2015 , a specified value I q _ ref of the quadrature-axis current of the generator is calculated according to the specified value I d _ ref of the direct-axis current of the generator and the preset value P e _ ref of the electromagnetic active power of the generator.

The specified value I d _ ref of the direct-axis current of the generator is obtained in the above step S 2014 and the preset value P e _ ref of the electromagnetic active power of the generator is known, hence the specified value I q _ ref of the quadrature-axis current of the generator is calculated by the following formula:

I q _ ref =(1.5 P e _ ref −U d I d _ ref )/ U q

where U d denotes a direct-axis voltage of the generator, and U q denotes a quadrature-axis voltage of the generator.

In step S 202 , a current vector control is performed on the generator according to the specified value I d _ ref of the direct-axis current of the generator and the specified value I q _ ref of the quadrature-axis current of the generator.

›DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS · 3 of 7

The specified value I d _ ref of the direct-axis current of the generator is obtained in the above step S 2014 and the specified value I q _ ref of the quadrature-axis current of the generator is obtained in the above step S 2015 . Then, the converter performs the current vector control on the generator according to the specified value I d _ ref of the direct-axis current of the generator and the specified value I q _ ref of the quadrature-axis current of the generator. When the frequency f of the generator is within the frequency range of requiring the vibration and noise suppression, the converter operates in the flux-weakening control manner to suppress the vibration and noise of the generator.

According to the vibration suppression method and device of the wind power generator provided by the present disclosure, the specified value of the direct-axis current of the generator and the specified value of the quadrature-axis current of the generator are calculated according to the preset value of electromagnetic active power of the generator and the frequency of the generator. Then, a current vector control is performed on the generator according to the specified value of the direct-axis current of the generator and the specified value of the quadrature-axis current of the generator. Through flux-weakening control, a magnetic load of the generator is decreased, that is, the electromagnetic force on the stator and the rotor of the generator is decreased. Thus, vibration amplitude of the stator and rotor of the generator is reduced, and the vibration and noise suppression is implemented. Since there is no need to change a mechanical structure and electromagnetic design of the generator, performances of the venerator such like power density and force-energy index, are not influenced, and the complexity of manufacturing process and the cost of the generator are not increased.

Third Embodiment

Reference is made to FIG. 4 , which illustrates a flow chart of a vibration suppression method of a wind power generator according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4 , the vibration suppression method of the wind power generator in this embodiment provides another implementation (that is, the case of performing a direct torque control on the generator) of the vibration suppression method of the wind power generator shown in FIG. 1 . The vibration suppression method of the wind power generator in this embodiment includes the following steps S 401 to S 402 .

In step S 401 , a specified value ψ f _ ref of a flux linkage of the generator and a specified value T e _ ref of an electromagnetic torque of the generator are calculated according to a preset value P e _ ref of an electromagnetic active power of the generator and a frequency f of the generator.

Reference is made to FIG. 5 , which illustrates a flow chart of a step of calculating a specified value of a flux-weakening control parameter of the generator in an embodiment shown in FIG. 4 . The step may include the following steps S 4011 to S 4015 as shown in FIG. 5 .

In step S 4011 , an optimal maximum output torque value T e _ MTPA of the electromagnetic torque of the generator and an optimal maximum output torque value ψ f _ MTPA of the flux linkage of the generator are obtained according to a preset value P e _ ref of the electromagnetic active power of the generator.

This step is based on MTPA control. An optimal combination of the flux linkage and the electromagnetic torque of the generator is obtained according to electromagnetic characteristics of the generator, to make a maximum generator output torque per ampere. In a case of a given output torque of the generator, the flux linkage (i.e. the optimal maximum output torque value ψ f _ MTPA of the flux linkage of the generator) and the electromagnetic torque (i.e. the optimal maximum output torque value T e _ MTPA of the electromagnetic torque of the generator) of the generator are optimally allocated according to the preset point value P e _ ref of the electromagnetic active power of the generator, so as to optimize performances of the generator, improve the operating efficiency, reduce copper loss of the generator and lower the capacity requirement of the generator. The MTPA control in this step may be achieved by applying the existing various kinds of MTPA control methods, such as the analytical method or the finite element analysis method which will not be described herein. In addition, the MTPA control in this step may be achieved by experimental test in advance and the look-up table method.

In step S 4012 , a first flux-weakening specified value ψ f _ FW 1 _ ref of the flux linkage of the generator is obtained according to the optimal maximum output torque value T e _ MTPA of the electromagnetic torque of the generator and the frequency f of the generator.

In this step, electromagnetic force of the generator are reduced according to the maximum flux-weakening capability of a converter, to suppress the vibration and the noise of the generator, which is an important step of the method for suppressing the vibration and the noise of the generator through flux-weakening control. The optimal maximum output torque value T e _ MTPA of the electromagnetic torque of the generator is obtained in the foregoing step S 4011 , and the frequency f of the generator may be calculated by the following formula:

f = np n 60

where n denotes a rotate speed of the generator which may be obtained through measurement, and p n denotes the number of pole pairs of the generator.

When the frequency f of the generator is beyond a frequency range of requiring the vibration and noise suppression, the first flux-weakening preset value ψ f _ FW 1 _ ref of the flux linkage of the generator is a preset value ψ f _ rated _ ref of a rated flux linkage. When the frequency f of the generator is within the frequency scope of requiring the vibration and noise suppression, the first flux-weakening preset value ψ f _ FW 1 _ ref of the flux linkage of the generator is calculated by the following formula:

›DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS · 4 of 7

ψ f_FW ⁢ 1 ⁢ _ref = ( U a_active - R a ⁢ I a_rated ⁢ _max ) / ω e ω e = 2 ⁢ ⁢ π ⁢ ⁢ np n 60 = π ⁢ ⁢ np n 30

where U a _ active denotes an actual value of a phase voltage of the generator, R a denotes a resistance of a stator winding of the generator; I a _ rated _ max denotes a maximum value of a rated phase current of the generator, which is determined by a rated heat value of the generator; ω e denotes an electrical angular speed of the generator; p n denotes the number of pole pairs of the electrical angular velocity; and n denotes a rotate speed of the electrical angular velocity, which can be obtained through measurement.

The frequency range of requiring the vibration and noise suppression may be determined according to related descriptions in the step S 2012 of the embodiment illustrated by FIG. 2 , which will not be described again herein for simplicity.

In step S 4013 , a second flux-weakening specified value ψ f _ FW 2 _ ref of the flux linkage of the generator is obtained according to an actual value U a _ active of a phase voltage of the generator and a maximum output voltage U output _ max of a converter.

This step is based on the flux-weakening control. When an actual value U a _ active of the phase voltage of the generator reaches to the maximum output voltage U output _ max of the converter, flux-weakening control technology is applied to make the actual value U a _ active of the phase voltage of the generator no longer go up. That is, the generator is controlled to operate with the actual value U a _ active of the phase voltage thereof being smaller than or equal to the maximum output voltage U output _ max of the converter. An operation mode of the generator converts from a constant-torque operation mode to a constant-power operation mode, and the range of rotate speed of the generator is enlarged. The maximum output voltage U output _ max of the converter may be obtained according to a direct current bus voltage U dc of the converter. A voltage difference U diff between the actual value U a _ active of the phase voltage of the generator and the maximum output voltage U output _ max of the converter is inputted to a voltage PI regulator to regulate the second flux-weakening specified value ψ f _ FW 2 _ ref of the flux linkage of the generator. The flux-weakening control may be achieved by the existing various kinds of flux-weakening control methods, which will not be described in detail herein for simplicity.

In step S 4014 , the specified value ψ f _ ref of the flux linkage of the generator is obtained according to the first flux-weakening specified value ψ f _ FW 1 _ ref of the flux linkage of the generator, the optimal maximum output torque value ψ f _ MTPA of the flux linkage of the generator and a second flux-weakening specified value ψ f _ FW 2 _ ref of the flux linkage of the generator.

The first flux-weakening specified value ψ f _ FW 1 _ ref of the flux linkage of the generator is obtained in the above step S 4012 . The optimal maximum output torque value ψ f _ MTPA of the flux linkage of the generator is obtained in the above step S 4011 . The second flux-weakening specified value ψ f _ FW 2 _ ref of the flux linkage of the generator is obtained in the above step S 4013 . When the first flux-weakening specified value ψ f _ FW 1 _ ref and the second flux-weakening specified value ψ f _ FW 2 _ ref of the flux linkage of the generator are both equal to the preset value ψ f _ rated _ ref of the rated flux linkage, the optimal maximum output torque value ψ f _ MTPA of the flux linkage of the generator is served as a specified value ψ f _ ref of the flux linkage of the generator, that is, ψ f _ ref =ψ f _ MTPA . When at least one of the first flux-weakening specified value ψ f _ FW 1 _ ref and the second flux-weakening specified value ψ f _ FW 2 _ ref of the flux linkage of the generator is not equal to the preset value ψ f _ rated _ ref of the rated flux linkage, the smaller one from the first flux-weakening specified value ψ f _ FW 1 _ ref and the second flux-weakening specified value ψ f _ FW 2 _ ref of the flux linkage of the generator is served as a specified value ψ f _ ref of the flux linkage of the generator, that is, ψ f _ ref =Min (ψ f _ FW 1 _ ref , ψ f _ FW 2 _ ref ).

In step S 4015 , the specified value T f _ ref of the electromagnetic torque of the generator is calculated according to the specified value ψ f _ ref of the flux linkage of the generator.

The specified value ψ f _ ref of the flux linkage of the generator is obtained in the above step S 4014 , hence the specified value T f —ref of the electromagnetic torque of the generator is calculated by the following formula:

T e _ ref =1.5 P n (ψ f _ α _ ref I β −ψ f _ β _ ref I α )

where p n denotes the number of generator pole pairs, ψ f —ref denotes α axis component of the specified value ψ f —ref of the flux linkage of the generator, ψ f —ref denotes a β axis component of the specified value ψ f —ref of the flux linkage of the generator, I α denotes α axis current of the generator, and I β denotes a β axis current of the generator.

In step S 402 , a direct torque control is performed on the generator according to the specified value ψ f _ ref of the flux linkage of the generator and the specified value T e _ ref of the electromagnetic torque of the generator.

The specified value ψ f _ ref of the flux linkage of the generator is obtained in the above step S 4014 and the specified value T e _ ref of the electromagnetic torque of the generator is obtained in the above step S 4015 . Thus, the converter performs the direct torque control on the generator according to the specified value ψ f _ ref of the flux linkage of the generator and the specified value T e _ ref of the electromagnetic torque of the generator.

According to the vibration suppression method and device of the wind power generator provided by the present disclosure, the specified value of the flux linkage of the generator and the specified value of the electromagnetic torque of the generator are calculated according to a preset value of the electromagnetic active power of the generator and the frequency of the generator. Then, a direct torque control is performed on the generator according to the specified value of the flux linkage of the generator and the specified value of the electromagnetic torque of the generator. Through flux-weakening control, a magnetic load of the generator is decreased, that is, the electromagnetic force on the stator and the rotor of the generator is decreased, vibration amplitude of the stator and the rotor of the generator are reduced, and the vibration and noise suppression is implemented. Since there is no need to change a mechanical structure and electromagnetic design of the generator, performances of the generator such like power density and force-energy index are not influenced, and the complexity of manufacturing processes and the cost of the generator are not increased.

It should be noted that, the functions of the quadrature-axis current maximum torque per ampere control unit 74 and the direct-axis current maximum torque per ampere control sub-module 76 may be achieved by one module in practice.

According to the vibration suppression method and device of the wind power generator provided by the present disclosure, the specified value of the direct-axis current of the generator and the specified value of the quadrature-axis current of the generator are calculated according to the preset value of the electromagnetic active power of the generator and the frequency of the generator. A current vector control is performed on the generator according to the specified value of the direct-axis current of the generator and the specified value of the quadrature-axis current of the generator.
