A high-speed-level gear transmission system model of a wind turbine is presented considering a time-varying wind load and an electromagnetic torque disturbance, along with eccentricity, dynamic backlash, and friction force. The auto-regressive model is employed for simulating the time-varying wind load in the realistic wind field as external excitation. A doubly fed induction generator model of the wind turbine is established to calculate the disturbance quantity of electromagnetic torque. The nonlinear differential equations of the system are strictly deduced using Lagrange equation and solved by the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The effect of friction on the dynamic response of the high-speed-level gear transmission system is analyzed with the time-varying wind load and the electromagnetic torque disturbance. These results show that the friction force is critical because frequency amplitude and components can be changed by it. The friction force also enlarges vibration displacement. The low-frequency components in the vertical direction are affected gravely by the friction force without electrical disturbance. In addition, sidebands exist in the vicinity of the low-frequency parts as the electromagnetic torque disturbance appears at the output end. The amplitude of the low-frequency component is further increased because of electromagnetic torque disturbance. This shows the frequency characteristics of the slight gear system fault. The study offers some fresh references into the design and diagnosis of the gear system.

According to the working characteristics of a 1.5 MW wind turbine planetary gear system under complex and random wind load, a two-parameter Weibull distribution model is used to describe the distribution of random wind speed, and the time-varying load caused by random wind speed is obtained. The nonlinear dynamic model of planetary gear transmission system is established by using the lumped parameter method, and the relative relations among various components are derived by using Lagrange method. Then, the relative relationship between the components is solved by Runge Kutta method. Considering the influence of random load and stiffness ratio on the planetary gear transmission system, the nonlinear dynamic response of cyclic load and random wind load on the transmission system is analyzed. The analysis results show that the variation of the stiffness ratio makes the planetary gear have abundant nonlinear dynamics behavior and the planetary gear can get rid of chaos and enter into stable periodic motion by changing the stiffness ratio properly on the premise of ensuring transmission efficiency. For the variable pitch wind turbine, the random change of external load increases the instability of the system.

The sparse least squares support vector machines (SL-SVM) is used to simulate wind speed of real wind field, and time-varying wind load caused by stochastic wind speed is then obtained. A coupling gear-bearing dynamical model of planetary gear transmission system of wind turbine is built using lumped-parameter method, in which the varying wind load, time-vary mesh stiffness of gear pair and time-vary stiffness of rolling element bearing are taken into account. Numerical method is used to simulate the dynamic performance of planetary gear transmission of multibrid technology wind turbine (MTWT) with 1.5MW rated power, the vibration displacement responses of gears and dynamic meshing forces of gear pairs as well as nonlinear bearing forces in the transmission system are obtained, and the influence rules of external varying wind load on the vibration characteristics of transmission system of wind turbine are studied. The research results lay a foundation for dynamic performance optimization and reliability design of gear transmission system of wind turbine.

Linearized Model

Time-varying unknown wind disturbances influence significantly the dynamics of wind turbines. In this research, we formulate a disturbance observer (DOB) structure that is added to a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) feedback controller, aiming at asymptotically rejecting disturbances to wind turbines at above-rated wind speeds. Specifically, our objective is to maintain a constant output power and achieve better generator speed regulation when a wind turbine is operated under time-varying and turbulent wind conditions. The fundamental idea of DOB control is to conduct internal model-based observation and cancelation of disturbances directly using an inner feedback control loop. While the outer-loop PID controller provides the basic capability of suppressing disturbance effects with guaranteed stability, the inner-loop disturbance observer is designed to yield further disturbance rejection in the low frequency region. The DOB controller can be built as an on–off loop, that is, independent of the original control loop, which makes it easy to be implemented and validated in existing wind turbines. The proposed algorithm is applied to both linearized and nonlinear National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) offshore 5-MW baseline wind turbine models. In order to deal with the mismatch between the linearized model and the nonlinear turbine, an extra compensator is proposed to enhance the robustness of augmented controller. The application of the augmented DOB pitch controller demonstrates enhanced power and speed regulations in the above-rated region for both linearized and nonlinear plant models.

The Natural frequency of wind turbine gear rotor system was analyzed by the Ansys11.0 software. It was found that the deformation of three-order was larger than others in low-order mode, through that a helical gear’s mode of weak links of the gear transmission system was analyzed. The result is an important theoretical support to prevent the resonance of gear rotor system.
