With the control system configuration as described above, the wind turbine 1
It is possible to control the rotation speed of the motor and control the active power and the reactive power output from the synchronous generator 2. Here, when the control gain of the rotation speed controller 12 is set high, the control response of the rotation speed of the wind turbine 1 increases as the changing speed of the active power command to the forward converter 3 increases. However, since the change of the active power command to the forward converter 3 becomes large, the fluctuation of the active power output from the synchronous generator 2 becomes large. Windmill 1 at this time
FIG. 4 shows a waveform example of the rotational speed and the active power output from the synchronous generator 2 in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, the fluctuation of the rotation speed of the wind turbine 1 is suppressed to a small level, but the active power output from the synchronous generator 2 largely fluctuates. Conversely, when the control gain of the rotation speed controller 12 is set low, the control response of the rotation speed of the wind turbine 1 decreases as the changing speed of the active power command to the forward converter 3 decreases. However, since the change of the active power command to the forward converter 3 becomes small, the fluctuation of the active power output from the synchronous generator 2 becomes small. Windmill 1 at this time
FIG. 5 shows a waveform example of the rotation speed and the active power output from the synchronous generator 2 in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 5, the fluctuation of the rotation speed of the wind turbine 1 becomes large, but the fluctuation of the active power output from the synchronous generator 2 can be kept small. That is, by adjusting the control gain of the rotation speed controller 12, it is possible to adjust whether the rotation speed of the wind turbine 1 is controlled with priority or the active power output from the synchronous generator 2 is controlled with priority. .

FIG. 6 shows the relationship between wind speed and power generation output. Since the energy of wind is proportional to the cube of the wind speed, the power generation output also increases as the wind speed increases. On the other hand, when the wind speed exceeds the rating, the wind turbine 1 performs pitch control to release the energy of the wind received by the blades, thereby keeping the power generation output constant. Here, since the wind turbine 1 prioritizes efficiency when the wind speed is less than the rated wind speed, priority is given to the rotation speed for control.
On the other hand, in order to obtain a constant output with little fluctuation above the rated wind speed, active power is preferentially controlled.

Therefore, the control gain of the rotation speed controller 12 is switched according to the wind speed detected by the wind speed detector 21. That is, if the wind speed is less than the rated value, the control gain is high,
If the wind speed is above the rated wind speed, set the control gain low. Further, when the control gain of the rotation speed controller 12 is changed, the control response speed of the rotation speed controller 12 changes accordingly.

Since the active power controller 13 determines the active current command according to the active power command output from the rotation speed controller 12, the control response speed of the rotation speed controller 12 is controlled by the active power controller 13. It must be set slower than the response speed. Usually, the control response speed of the rotation speed controller 12 is about 5 to 30 of the control response speed of the active power controller 13.
The range is set so that it falls within 0 times.
