WIND TURBINE ROTATIONAL SYSTEM

摘要

Wind turbine rotational system having several drives and a central control system (CCS), each drive comprising a motor, an electronic converter and an actuator. The CCS sends speed and torque setpoints to the electronic converters which drive the motors according to said setpoints. Operation of the system comprises: designating a drive as master and the other drives as slaves; designating, for each slave, one of the drives as reference drive; the CCS determining master speed and torque setpoints, and sending them to the master; the CCS obtaining real torque of the master; CCS obtaining real speed of each reference drive; and the CCS sending to each slave a slave speed setpoint equal to the master speed setpoint, and a slave torque setpoint equal to the real torque of the master plus a variable offset based on a difference between the master speed setpoint and the real speed of its reference drive.

1. A method of operating a wind turbine rotational system comprising a plurality of drives and a central control system, each drive comprising a motor, an electronic converter for driving the motor and an actuator operatively connected with the motor, wherein
the central control system sends speed setpoints and torque setpoints to the electronic converters and the electronic converters drive the motors in accordance with the received setpoints,
the method comprisingdesignating one of the drives as a master drive and designating the other drives as slave drives,designating, for each of the slave drives, one of the drives as a drive of reference,the central control system determining a master speed setpoint and a master torque setpoint,the central control system sending the master speed setpoint and the master torque setpoint to the master drive,the central control system obtaining, from the master drive, a value representing the real torque of the motor of the master drive,the central control system obtaining, from each drive of reference, a value representing the real speed of the motor of the drive of reference, andthe central control system sending a slave speed setpoint and a slave torque setpoint to each of the slave drives, wherein the slave speed setpoint is equal to the master speed setpoint, and wherein the slave torque setpoint is equal to the value representing the real torque of the master drive plus a variable offset value based on a difference between the master speed setpoint and the value representing the real speed of the slave drive's drive of reference.
