연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A method of starting a wind turbine in a cold climate environment includes providing a wind turbine in the cold climate environment in a stand-still or near stand-still condition; allowing the rotation speed of the rotor to increase during start up of the wind turbine; optimizing heat generation within the gear box; and generating power using the wind turbine, wherein heat generation within the gear box is optimized prior to providing the generated electrical power to an electrical grid. Optimizing heat generation within the gear box may include maximizing internal power losses in the gear box during start up. This may allow the start up to be achieved without using external heaters. Aspects of this method may be used during periods of low wind conditions in cold climate environments so that once sufficient wind conditions are reestablished, the wind turbine is ready for immediate power production.

1. A method of starting a wind turbine in a cold climate environment from a stand-still or near stand-still condition, the wind turbine having a tower, a rotor with at least one blade, a generator for producing electrical power, and a gear box having a main shaft operatively coupled to the rotor and a high speed shaft operatively coupled to the generator, the wind turbine being configured to be operatively connected to an electrical grid, the method comprising: performing a start up period, wherein the rotation speed of the rotor is controlled to increase and wherein the wind turbine is not delivering any electrical power to the electrical grid during the start up period;providing heat generation within the gear box by increasing the rotation speed until the gear box has reached a threshold temperature; anddelivering electrical power generated using the wind turbine to the electrical grid when the temperature of the gear box reaches the threshold temperature. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein heat generation within the gear box comprises maximizing internal power losses in the gear box. 3. The method according to claim 2, wherein controlling the rotation speed of the rotor so as to maximize the internal power losses in the gear box further comprises controlling the rotation speed of the rotor according to a substantially linear relationship between a rotation speed of the high speed shaft and the gear box temperature. 4. The method according to claim 3, further comprising controlling the rotation speed in a first region of the start up according to a substantially linear relationship between the rotation speed of the high speed shaft and the gear box temperature characterized by a first slope, and controlling the rotation speed in a second region of the start up according to a substantially linear relationship between the rotation speed of the high speed shaft and the gear box temperature characterized by a second slope, wherein the first and second slopes are different from each other. 5. The method according to claim 3, wherein controlling the rotation speed of the rotor according to the substantially linear relationship between the rotation speed of the high speed shaft and the gear box temperature terminates when the gear box reaches a first threshold temperature. 6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the rotation speed of the high speed shaft is greater than about 60% of a nominal operating speed of the high speed shaft when the temperature of the gear box reaches the first threshold temperature. 7. The method according to claim 5, further comprising increasing the rotation speed of the high speed shaft up to a nominal operating speed when the temperature of the gear box reaches the first threshold temperature. 8. The method according claim 5, wherein the power production of the wind turbine is increased up to a nominal power output when the temperature of the gear box reaches the first threshold temperature. 9. The method according to claim 1, further comprising reducing the internal power losses in the gear box after delivery of electrical power to the electrical grid has begun. 10. The method according to claim 1, wherein the heat generation in the gear box is achieved using only the energy resulting from the rotation of the rotor. 11. The method according to claim 1, wherein the heat generation in the gear box is achieved without the use of external heaters. 12. A method of starting a wind turbine in a cold climate environment, comprising: providing a wind turbine in a cold climate environment in a stand-still or near stand-still condition, the wind turbine having a tower, a rotor with at least one blade, a generator for producing electrical power, and a gear box having a main shaft operatively coupled to the rotor and a high speed shaft operatively coupled to the generator, the wind turbine configured to be operatively connected to an electrical grid;allowing the rotation speed of the rotor to increase during start up of the wind turbine;with the rotor turning and prior to the wind turbine providing electrical power to the electrical grid, increasing the temperature of the gear box up to a first threshold temperature without the use of external heaters; andgenerating electrical power using the wind turbine after the temperature of the gear box has reached the first threshold temperature. 13.
