2 Description of key subsystems

2.1 Impeller assembly


2.1.1 Blades
A wind turbine blade is a thin-shell structure made of GFRP. It is required to meet power
production requirements, and make it lighter, stiffer and stronger while meeting load and clearance
requirements. Blades for EN156 are based on existing EN141 molds to maximize reuse and
reduce blade life cycle costs.

2.1.2 Pitch system


Pitch bearings are used between its hub and blades to transfer loads from blades to the hub.
Blades are connected to the inner race of a bearing with root bolts, and the outer race of pitch
bearing is connected to the hub body with bolts. Pitch gears are integrated on the inner race of the
bearing, and blade pitch control is realized by the engagement with gears between pitch
gearboxes.
Pitch system can be divided into two parts: electrical and mechanical. The mechanical
assembly for pitch control consists of a pitch drive, pitch bearings and its connecting parts. Each
pitch control cabinet consists of a drive, a motor and a backup power supply. As a highly
integrated part, the pitch drive integrates controller, backup capacitor charging and monitoring,
and pitch motor brake holding control functions. It greatly reduces the number of other
components in the pitch control cabinet and effectively reduces system fault points. In the backup
power supply, a supercapacitor module is used. The supercapacitor has features including fast

2.2.4 Coupling
The gearbox and the generator are connected by an elastic coupling, which allows
transmission between gearbox output and input shafts under certain assembly errors.

2.2.5 Brake system


Under various operating conditions, such as normal shutdown, overspeed shutdown,
emergency shutdown, etc., aerodynamic braking realized by three-blade pitch control is the
primary braking method, and the pitch control keeps the wind rotor in a safe operating speed range.
Supercapacitors supply power to three pitch systems individually and independently, thus enabling
individual and independent pitch control. In addition, a high-speed brake caliper is installed at the
gearbox HSS end as an auxiliary brake for the whole machine.
The pitch brake has been described above, so it will not be repeated here. After aerodynamic
braking realized by pitch control reduces the speed of wind rotor to a certain range, the high-speed
brake caliper at the gearbox HSS end acts to lock the drive chain. As a brake for the WTG, the
high-speed brake is used to brake the whole machine mechanically. It plays a very important role
in the safety of wind turbines. Braking process: The brake is powered by a hydraulic system, and
the piston pushes the powder metallurgy friction plate on the driving side and then pushes back the
whole brake casting body after reaching the brake disc, so that the friction plate on the driven side
is passively pulled to the other side of brake disc, thus making the double friction plates lock the
brake disc to complete braking. Two pins are arranged on the high-speed brake caliper and
inserted into the brake disc through the caliper to ensure the safety of braking at high speed.
In addition, based on EHS requirements, an all-round protective cover for HSS end is
designed to ensure personal safety.
To replace the gearbox or any other large-size component, low-speed lock tooling is also
required at the LSS end of drive chain. After the drive chain is locked by the HSS, the installed
wind rotor lock further locks the drive chain. The wind rotor lock is installed on the spindle flange
with spindle-hub connecting bolts.

2.3 Nacelle assembly


The nacelle assembly consists of a drive chain system, a yaw system, nacelle housings and a
nacelle structure system, etc. In addition, electrical components such as generators and control
cabinets are also arranged in the nacelle.

ring gears, yaw gearbox and yaw caliper. The yaw ring gear is arranged between the tower top
flange and the yaw caliper, fixed on the flange with bolts. The yaw caliper and drives are bolted to
the nacelle baseplate. By engaging the yaw ring gear with the yaw drive gear, the yaw caliper and
the nacelle baseplate can slide relative to the yaw ring gear.

hole at the tail of nacelle housing for emergency personnel to escape. The top of nacelle housing is
equipped with a wind speed sensor and a skylight, through which people can reach the top of the
nacelle from inside the nacelle.

2.4 Electrical system


2.4.1 Electrical drive chain
Optimal matching between the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) and its convertor
enables the best power capture and good power grid quality. The generator's wide speed range
allows the wind turbine to cut into a power grid under extremely low wind speed. Coupled with a
high overspeed tolerance, it is suitable for extremely wide wind conditions and disturbance range.
The match between the DFIG and the convertor can achieve a power factor of +/-0.95.

If the voltage of a wind turbine terminal drops below 90%, the fault ride-through (FRT) is
activated. The time and amplitude of the voltage event that the wind turbine can "ride through"
can be set as required. However, these settings must be within the limits shown in Figure 5-3.

5.6 HVRT
The functional characteristics of high voltage ride-through (HVRT) are shown in Table 5-4
and Figure 5-3.

6 Customized control strategy – Hyper Perception Smart Turbine


For the first time, EN-156/4.5 wind turbines are equipped with Envision's "Hyper Perception"
intelligent technology for perception and sensing beyond space, time, itself, physics and cloud.
Driven by the digital twin of wind farms, an asset health monitoring and intelligent operation
platform centered on farm and plant edge computing is constructed to perceive the health status of
wind turbine fleets, adaptively optimize the operation process dynamically, and realize the
performance and safety between various components of a wind turbine and between WTGs.

6.1 Intelligent health perception and performance perspective


The traditional status monitoring is upgraded to health prediction, to intelligently sense the
health status and trend of each subsystem and component for a wind turbine, and support the
dynamic closed-loop control made by the brains of wind turbines and fleets, and get the best
power generation performance and income.
Based on digital models and real operating environments of wind farm, the expected and
actual power generation of a wind farm can be accurately perceived to get a perspective of wind
farm power loss, optimize the performance of wind turbines through customized wind turbine
control strategy, and continuously improve the power generation of a wind farm.

6.2 Adaptive WTG and fleet control


Based on intelligent health perception and performance perspective, the dynamic load is
distributed intelligently in an optimal way among different components. The balance between
healthy operation of each system component and optimal wind turbine performance is achieved

through independent broadband pitch control technology, active thrust damping technology,
self-learning adaptive yaw control, and optimal pitch angle following control.

With healthy operation, optimal performance, grid friendliness and operation and
maintenance friendliness of a wind farm as the goal, strategies such as fleet output distribution,
accurate line operation and collaborative wake optimization are dynamically planned, to increase
power generation and enable intelligent operation with few maintenance personnel, thus
minimizing the electricity cost per kWh of wind farm in its whole life cycle.
