What is Wind Turbine?

The structure of a small wind power generation system is generally composed of a wind turbine, a generator, a rudder and an electrical control part. Conventional small wind turbines are mostly composed of induction generators or permanent magnet synchronous generators and AC/DC converters, batteries and inverters.

In the blowing wind, the wind wheel rotates, turning aerodynamic energy into mechanical energy. The hub of the wind wheel is fixed on the generator shaft and the rotation of the wind wheel drives the rotation of the generator shaft, driving the permanent magnet three-phase generator to generate three-phase alternating current (AC).

The wind speed changes continuously and the current and voltage generated by the generator also change accordingly. The generated electricity is rectified by the controller, is changed from alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) with a certain voltage, make the battery charged. The direct current output from the battery pack is transformed into 220V AC after passing through the inverter, which is supplied to the user's household appliances.

Peaco Support Wind Turbine

According to different applications, wind turbines have two classifications, grid tie wind turbines and off grid wind turbines.

Off-grid wind turbines, also known as independent operation wind turbines, are such wind turbines used in areas without power grids and generally have relatively low power. Independently operating wind turbines generally need to be combined with batteries and other control devices to form an power generation system with independent operating wind turbine. This kind of independent operation system can be a 1 kW-90 kW to solve the power supply system of a village or it can be a small wind generator set with several hundreds of watts to solve the power supply of one household.

Due to the randomness of wind energy, the frequency and voltage of the electrical energy generated by the generator are unstable and the storage battery can only store DC electrical energy and can not directly supply power to the AC load. Therefore, in order to provide the load with stable, high-quality electrical energy and AC load power, it is necessary to add a power conversion device between the generator and the load. This power conversion device is mainly composed of a rectifier, an inverter, a controller, a battery, etc.

Most of the faults of wind turbines can be done with remote reset control and automatic reset control. The operation of the wind turbines is closely related to the quality of the power grid. In order to obtain more protection, the wind turbine is equipped with multiple protection faults, such as high and low grid voltage, high and low grid frequency, etc. which can be automatically reset.

Due to the uncontrollability of wind energy, the value of wind speed can also be reset automatically. There are also temperature limit values ​​that can be automatically reset, such as high generator temperature, high or low gearbox temperature and low ambient temperature. Additionally, the overload fault of the wind turbine can also be reset automatically.

Except for automatic reset faults, there are other reasons about remote reset control faults. For example, there is a false alarm from the wind turbine controller, malfunctions of detection sensor. Therefore, it is necessary to have regular maintenance and inspection of small wind turbines to ensure their service life.

Advantages of Brushless DC Motors

Brushless DC motor is one of synchronous motors, whose rotor speed is affected by the speed of the rotating magnetic field of its stator and the number of poles of the rotor. Brushless DC motors not only have a series of advantages of AC motors, such as simple structure, reliable operation and convenient maintenance but also have features such as high operating efficiency and good speed regulation performance of DC motors. The most important part of a brushless DC motor is its control structure, whose driver can control the rotor to maintain a certain speed, and its performance is more stable. Brushless DC motor is a low-power motor that uses electronic commutation and is widely used in modern production equipment, instrumentation and household appliances. Peaco Support brushless DC motors have many advantages. 1. High efficiency The efficiency of a traditional DC motor is generally about 75%, while the efficiency of a general brushless DC motor can reach more than 96%. With high effi...

What Causes an Vibration Motor to Overheat?

Generally speaking, a vibration motor has a certain operating power, which is called the rated power, the unit is watts (W). If the actual motor power exceeds the rated power of the vibration motor in some cases, this phenomenon is called motor overload. The following is the reasons for the vibration motor overload. 1. Overload. 2. The voltage of the vibration motor is too high or too low. 3. The vibration motor is severely damp or corroded by corrosive gas for a long time, which reduces the insulation resistance. 4. The bearing of the vibration motor lacks of oil or is under dry grinding situation. Additionally, the rotor is mechanically misaligned, causing the motor current to exceed the rated value. 5. Failure of the mechanical transmission parts happens. 6. Analysis of other causes of vibration motor overload. The terminal voltage is too low. This voltage refers to the voltage measured at the lead end of the motor stator when the vibrating motor is starting or running at full load,...

Why My Torque Sensor Reading is Unstable?

Torque sensors often have unstable output signals during use. But the torque sensor testing is qualified after the production. What is the reason for this? In fact, there are many reasons for the unstable signal of the torque sensor during use and the common ones mainly include the following three aspects. The torque sensor is not installed properly and the axis is not parallel, which will cause the signal output to be unstable. The torque sensor is easy to be damaged if it is in this state for a long time. The power supply voltage is unstable. Our torque sensors are generally powered by a dual voltage of plus and minus 15V and 24V or other voltages. Unstable power supply voltage will also cause unstable output signals. Interference from other machines next to the torque sensor. For example, if there is a frequency converter next to the torque sensor, it is easy to cause the output signal to be unstable. The solution is to add a 1:1 isolation transformer in front of the power supply of...
