Gearless Continuously Variable Transmission Technology and its Application in Wind Power Generation

Abstract:

Based on gearless continuously variable transmission technology, a cascaded wind power generation system with Variable Speed Constant Frequency (VSCF) is presented in this paper. The system has combined the advantages of doubly-fed and direct-drive wind power generation system. The raising-speed gear box has been done away with, and the system reliability has been improved. Reducing the power capacity of the aspects of the variable frequency speed regulation, the function of grid-connected electricity generation can be achieved with less cost. Synchronous generator directly connects to grid, which helps to optimize power quality. The topological structure of system is discussed in this paper, and its operating principle is analyzed, revealing its characteristics and engineering application prospects.
