Designing Hydraulic Systems for Wind Turbines
For the dedicated Wind Turbine Mechanical Engineer, mastering the design of hydraulic systems is both an art and a science. Unlocking the potential of these systems not only improves performance but
With the development of hydraulic components and the growing size of wind power generation, hydraulic technology has gradually been applied in wind energy, such as the hydraulic pitch system 2 listed in Table 1, the hydraulic braking system, 3 and hydraulic transmission system 4, 5 depicted in Table 2.
Hydraulic wind power system with multi-fan and multi-generator combined operation, and the application of digital hydraulic technology can help to improve the utilization rate of wind energy and increase the power generation, which is a worthy research direction.
At present, the hydraulic technology for the medium or low power level wind turbine can be commercialized already. And the large company merger or cooperation of wind power plants and key hydraulic parts has the potential to promote the application of hydraulic technology in MW grade wind power plants.
With the application of electro-hydraulic servo control technology and digital technology, the accuracy of the pitch will be improved, so as to promote the improvement of wind power quality and wind energy utilization efficiency, and further ensure the safe operation of the equipment.
