6. WIND TURBINE GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ECO 80 PLATFORM wind turbines are horizontal axis wind turbines with variable speed and pitch control. ECO 74, ECO 80 cII and ECO 80 2.0 have been designed according to the Class II - A specifications of the IEC-61400-1 standard. ECO 80 and ECO 86 60Hz have been designed Class III A specifications of the IEC-61400-1 standard. according to the
6.1. MECHANICAL DESCRIPTION

PLEASE SEE FIGURES 8, 9 AND 10 ON PARAGRAPH 4.2 NACELLE COMPONENTS IDETIFICATION FOR A BETTER COMPREHENSION OF THIS DESCRIPTION. The turbines rotor is formed by blades, steel extenders, pitch system and hub. Blades are solidly connected to the steel extenders by bolt connection. The steel extenders are connected to the hub by the pitch system. The pitch system is formed by a crown hooked to the roller bearing. It is electrically driven by the pitch actuator and connected to the steel extender. It permits the rotation of the blade around its vertical axis in any pitchs position required by the control and safety system (power production, start up, shut down, faults and extreme conditions). The hub is a spheroid cast iron component that presents three flange bolt connections with the three pitch roller bearings and three flanges opening to enable access for maintenance purposes; the central almost-conical part supports the main roller bearings. The rotor is supported directly on the mainframe by two conical roller bearings, an elastic coupling connects the hub to the Low Speed Shaft (LSS), thereby separating the task of supporting it from that of transmitting the torque to the power train. In this set-up the loads are transmitted directly from the rotor to the mainframe through the bearings. The power train is formed by Low Speed Shaft (LSS), gearbox and High Speed Shaft (HSS). The low speed shaft is fixed at both ends by means of a shrink disks to the hub elastic coupling and to the gearbox. The low speed shaft bears only the rotor torque and transmits it to the gearbox. The gearbox is a planetary parallel shaft, it is fixed to the mainframe by means of elastomeric pads (silent blocks) and its highspeed output is connected to the High Speed Shaft driving the generator. The High Speed Shaft is at elastic coupling connected at both ends by means of shrink disks to the gearbox and to the generator. ECO 80 PLATFORM wind turbines have been designed for different grid frequencies (some of them for two grid frequencies). For more information about the relation between turbines and his available frequencies please see paragraph 3.1 General

specifications. When two wind turbines have a different electrical frequency the developpment differences between them are focused on the gearbox and the generator. Depending on the power train used, the electrical frequency can be 50Hz or 60Hz. Three parts bolted together form the mainframe. The front part is an almost-conical component of spheroid cast iron and inserted in the hub in which the main roller bearings are mounted directly around. Directly bolted behind the front part, the central part is a spheroid cast iron component that holds the gearbox, the three guiding pads and the four drives of the yaw system. The rear part is a welded structural steel construction bolted to the central part, it holds the generator, the hydraulic central and the frequency (or static) converter. Concerning assembly, installation and maintenance purposes, the wind turbine is conceived in modular form. The nacelle is made up of three modules formed by the following components:

The yaw system is formed by three gliding guiding pads fixed to the central part of the mainframe, running clamped around the yaw crown adapter. The yaw crown adapter is a steel welded cylinder bolted to the top of the tower in which the crown is solidly connected. Four planetary gearboxes electrically driven form the yaw drive system; it permits the rotation of the nacelle around its vertical axis in any yaws position that the control and safety system requires. When the nacelle is not being moved the three guiding pads fix the nacelle to the tower by a fail-safe yaw brake system hydraulically released. The hydraulic systems emplacement depends on the wind turbine model. Next figure shows the different possibilities:

The hydraulic system feeds the yaw brake system and the HSS mechanical brake system. An active cooling system forces airflow through the generators and the gearbox oil heat exchangers. The exhaust air is driven out of nacelle by means of a noise isolation channel. The ECO 80 PLATFORM wind turbines have been designed for different hub heights. For more information about the relation between turbines and his availables hub highs please see paragraph 3.1 General specifications. All towers are composed of a conical or cylindrical tube divided in different sections. Each section is made of variable thickness steel plates and with flanges at both ends. The tower is fastened to the foundation by means of a short section embedded in to the concrete. An opening (door) is in the structure of first section to access in the wind turbine.

Emergency stop: When an emergency stop occurs the blades are pitched to feather position (through batteries, if so required) in order to stop the machine. When wind goes below the disconnection speed the generator opens the stator contactor. Cases: -Converter communication error. -Pitch communication error. -Wind turbine control error. -Security loop error. Normal stop: The converter just operates normally (the generator torque is not set to zero, it goes gradually towards zero). The Wind Turbine Control pitches the blades towards feather position and after the wind turbine goes below the disconnection speed, the converter disconnects the generator (opens the stator contactor). Cases: -Any kind of non-critical stop. -The stator contactor is only opened automatically in case of motor fault or abnormal operation in the inverter.

The system is able to control all aspects of the wind turbine included the power generation. Further, it has capability to be local operated through a serial connection and remote operated over a local area network.

6.4.1. OPERATION OF THE WIND TURBINE

6.4.1.1. DEFINITIONS COMMAND SYSTEMS The operations ordered on the wind turbine could have different system providers: Main Controller: It is the system that, automatically and depending on the environment conditions and wind turbine status, orders the operations. Scada: It is the system that allows the remote visualization of the wind turbine status. The operator can order actions through it. Human machine interface (HMI): It is the system that allows the local visualization of the WIND TURBINE status. There are different point connections distributed along the wind turbine. The operator can order actions through this utility. Button: There are different buttons distributed along the wind turbine that allow the operator to order actions to the machinery.

OPERATIONS The operations on the ECO 80 PLATFORMs wind turbines can be defined as: Automatic Remote Local by HMI Local by button.
6.4.1.2. GENERAL PROCEDURE When a machine has different points of commandment, suitable actions have to be taken in order to guarantee the possibility of establishing only one point of commandment in a specific moment. The stop order could be the only exception. This order should be effective from any point of commandment when required by the risk evaluation. The operations that could be ordered from different point of commandment are: Wind turbine stopping Start-up / Reset of the WIND TURBINE Braking / Release the yaw system Yaw Left / Right.
6.4.1.3. WIND TURBINE STOPPING The wind turbine stopping consists in actions that bring the wind turbine into the idling state. This operation could be ordered automatically, from remote or local button. Priority management For this command the automatic level always has the priority, because it is the control system that guarantees the safety of the wind turbine. Furthermore there isnt any way to inhibit the automatic stop order. The wind turbine could be also stopped from a remote location. This order could be inhibited when a maintenance mode is activated. The OPERATION MODE can be switched on the tower base (key operated safety lock) that allows this operation.
ECO 80 PLATFORM
109 / 134
ECO 80 PLATFORM
The stop button is inhibited while there isnt any local panel activated. There are local panels distributed in different locations of the wind turbine (towers base, control cabinet, nacelle). The same key that activates the maintenance mode, allows the activation of one of this panel. By this way the remote and HMI commands are inhibited at the same time and the local buttons are enables.
6.4.1.4. START-UP / STOP OF THE WIND TURBINE It consists in erasing one of various errors that keep the wind turbine stopped. This order could be activated automatically, from a remote location or local button. PRIORITY MANAGEMENT The remote order erases the errors defined as remote reset. In order to fulfill the normative, the remote channel is inhibited when a maintenance mode is selected. There is a key operated safety lock actuator on the tower base that allows this operation. The HMI can reset all the errors triggered by the controller. In case there is an active local panel in the HMI, the reset order for the error manual stop stays inhibited. The automatic order of reset can erase the errors defined as automatic reset but never the error manual stop. By this way after a local stop, the local start-up order has priority over the automatic order, and the possibility of non controlled start-up is inhibited when there is local work on the wind turbine. The local button order of start-up only resets the error manual stop. As commented the local button order is inhibited while there isnt any local panel activated. The same key that activates the maintenance mode, allows the activation of one of these panels. By this way the remote and HMI commands are inhibited at the same time and the local buttons are enabled.
6.4.1.5. BRAKING / RELEASE YAW SYSTEM This operation could be ordered automatically or by a local button. PRIORITY MANAGEMENT In case there isnt any local panel activated, only the automatic order will have effect in the wind turbine. When a local panel is active, the automatic order is inhibited and the yaw brake could be controlled by the local button.

6.4.1.6. YAW LEFT / RIGHT This operation could be ordered automatically or by a local button. PRIORITY MANAGEMENT In case there isnt any local panel activated, only the automatic order will take effect in the wind turbine. When a local panel is active, the automatic order is inhibited and the yaw actuation could be controlled by the local button.
6.4.2. TASK OF THE CONTROL SYSTEM

6.4.2.1. START-UP / STOP PROCEDURE The main goal of the control system is maximize the energy production of the wind turbine. START UP PROCEDURE The control system analyses the wind conditions and if they are enough to produce energy and all the operational systems are checked on availability. When the wind turbine systems are operative the system decides to start to move the blades. When the turbine speed reaches the connection speed, the Inverter performs the necessary operations to make a grid connection and to close the stator contactor. While the turbine is within the operation conditions the regulation algorithm generate the necessary torque and angle reference.
STOP PROCEDURE The stop procedure of the wind turbine is related to the stop procedure defined to the pitch system and to the inverter system. Each error has related one reaction for the pitch and another to the inverter. Pitch Stop procedure: There are two types of procedures Normal: The control system sends an angle reference to move the blades to the stop position (86). Quick: The control system orders the batteries to move the blades to the stop position (86).
ECO 80 PLATFORM
111 / 134
ECO 80 PLATFORM
Inverter Stop procedure: Normal: The inverter remains connected to the grid until the speed goes under the cut-in limit. Quick: The control system orders the electrical disconnection of the inverter immediately after the activation of the error.
6.4.2.2. OPERATION CONTROL The main tasks of the operation control are to maintain the wind turbine within their normal operational limits and to detect the situations in which the operational limits are exceeded in order to activate the appropriate security strategy. These control routines are carried out:
ROUTINES CARRIED OUT BY THE OPERATION CONTROL
Wind speed within operational limits. Relation between produced power and wind speed. Measurements of grid. Pressure and hydraulics control. Alignment of the wind turbine nacelle with the main wind direction in operation. Gear operation control.
Environment measurements. Rotational speed. Vibration measurement: blade, structure. Cable twist limits. Electrical protection status. Communication with the monitoring system of the wind farm or remote control. Continuously monitoring of the variables in order to check if they are in the limits. Continuously monitoring of the devicenet communication.
Generator operation control.
Control of mechanical breaks. Cooling system control.
Following items are monitored with sensors by the operation control.

6.4.3. SAFETY SYSTEM

6.4.3.1. DEFINITION It is defined as the system that, over the controller, actuates when one of the main safety limits are exceeded or the control system is not able to maintain the installation under the normal range of operation. The main goal of this system is to maintain the wind turbine under a safety range. For this purpose certain systems (mechanical, aerodynamic,....) should be designed to be able to bring the wind turbine to an stop state. Once it has actuated, the reposition of the safety system could be only made by a manual operation. This operation doesnt allow the controller to order an automatic start-up, instead, a local start order is necessary.
6.4.3.2. SAFETY LIMITS The standards attached in the reference define which are safety limits more significant that activate the safety system. They are show on the next diagram:

Fig. 43. - Safety limits diagram.
6.4.3.3. BRAKE SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The ECO 80 PLATFORM wind turbines have two brake systems: The primary brake is the pitching of the blades toward to 86. Each blade has its own separate pitch actuator with an independent battery, for losses of power. A redundancy is given by the 3 individual pitch systems = aerodynamic brake systems. With only 1 working pitch actuator the rotor can be brought safely to idling state from any operating condition. The system is designed to maintain the turbine below the maximum rotational speed in any conditions. The secondary brake (Mechanical hydraulic brake on HSS) is a brake system, which is used only to bring the turbine to stand still in a maintenance operation from the idling state.
6.4.3.4. STOP PROCEDURE IN CASE OF EMERGENCY ACTIVATION Whenever the emergency system is activated, two main events occur in order to safely stop the wind turbine: Pitch actuator performs a Quick Stop. The control system orders to move the blades to the stop position (86) trough battery supply.
ECO 80 PLATFORM
115 / 134
ECO 80 PLATFORM
Converter performs a Normal Stop. Converter keeps the current torque and it remains connected to the grid until speed drops down due to the pitch Quick Stoporder.
6.4.3.5. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SAFETY SYSTEM There are three independent systems: The first one is composed by a security relay that is monitoring the safety loop, where all the emergency push buttons and the rest of systems to control the limits are placed: Twist angle Shock Overspeed Functioning of control system: The main board has a NA relay to be able to actuate over the safety loop. This relay remains closed during normal operation. It will be open in one of the following situations: The controller detects the lost of the control. (ex. Lost of communication with the distributed I/O systems) The watchdog system, which is constantly checking the correct execution of the code, detects a corrupt behavior.
When one of these systems is triggered, the safety loop remains open. The relay detects this situation and triggers the brake system with an emergency stop. The second one is responsible to trigger in case of overpower situation. For this purpose there is a main switch on the power cabinet. This system controls the generated current. The last one is responsible to detect the electrical short circuit situation, there are situated in different locations: Low voltage: The generator is protected with a main switch installed on the power cabinet. This switch controls the current peak and current leak.
Medium voltage: Protection for a current peak through a circuit Breaker equipped with an electronic protection relay.

6.5. COLD CLIMATE VERSION (CCV)

ECO 80 CII, ECO 80 CIII and ECO 86 can be supplied on the Cold Climate Version. According to CCV enhancements the wind turbines are enabled to operate at extreme low temperatures sites. This section includes details of the temperature range and operational logic for power production.
6.5.1. TEMPERATURE RANGE

The environment temperature ranges have been enlarged for Cold Climate application. Ranges are shown below and compared with Standard ranges. Temperature ranges

From -30C to +40C
Standard environment temperature range

From -10C to +40C
Survival (wind turbine sttoped)
From -40C to +50C
From -20C to +50C
Since a different operation temperature can be expected for each nacelle and rotor area, a corresponding temperature range can be defined for each component. In particular, for cold climate applications, the lower limit of the corresponding temperature ranges has been modified. Corresponding minimum temperatures considered for operation and survival conditions are justified below. 6.5.1.1. COMPONENTS SURVIVAL TEMPERATURE RANGE A grid loss may occur at the same time that environment temperature is down to - 40C. In this case no heating can be performed on any component. Thus, to ensure the turbine survival every component must be able to survive at -40C.
6.5.1.2. NACELLE COMPONENTS OPERATION TEMPERATURE RANGE STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS For Structural components no difference is made between operation and survival because this kind of components keep loaded when turbine is not operating and failure consequences are not acceptable. Then, structural components must be suitable to work at temperatures down to -40C.
ECO 80 PLATFORM
117 / 134
ECO 80 PLATFORM
MECHANICAL COMPONENTS Mechanical components participating in operation conditions must be able to work when the turbine environment temperature is down to -30C. Although the nacelle internal temperature may be higher, for every component -30C has been considered as the minimum operation temperature in order improve its behavior in operation and start-up procedure. For Hydraulic System and Gearbox the corresponding oil can not be used at temperatures down to -30C because of the increase of viscosity. In order to ensure their suitability, electrical heaters have been included in both components. Mechanical brake is only used for maintenance operations. In this case turbine will be stopped and nacelle heaters enabled. Nacelle heating power will be calculated to ensure temperatures above -10C in these conditions. ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS Electrical components must be able to work when the turbine environment temperature is down to -30C. Although the nacelle internal temperature may be higher, for every component -30C has been considered as the minimum operation temperature in order to improve its behavior in operation and start-up procedure. The power converter is the only Nacelle component which cannot work at temperatures down to -30C, but only down to -25C. Thus, in order to ensure operation at Cold Climate temperature range, the Nacelle heating has been designed in order to maintain Nacelle air temperature above -25C. Power and control cabinets are provided with internal heating devices. 6.5.1.3. ROTOR COMPONENTS OPERATION TEMPERATURE RANGE Since only nacelle air will be heated, components of the rotor, outside the nacelle, must be able to work at environment cold climate temperature ranges. In particular, structural components such as hub, hub/LSS coupling and steel extenders must be suitable to work at temperatures down to -40C as they can be loaded when turbine is not operating.

6.5.1.4. NACELLE HEATING AT OPERATION CONDITIONS The on CCV version introduced improvements in the nacelle (also, the nacelle heating system and the air recirculation system) permits to obtain a nacelle internal temperature over -25C during the operation. The nacelle heating system is based in six fan heaters strategically situated around the nacelle components. The air recirculation system is integrated in gearbox cooling system and allows maintain nacelle temperature without heating operation. Next picture shows the fan heaters distribution.
Fig. 44. - Nacelle fan heaters assembly.
6.5.2. NACELLE HEATING AT TURBINE START-UP

Turbine start up at low temperatures can be particularly troublesome, particularly after a grid loss long period. For that reason a special warm up procedure has been designed to ensure start up when grid is restored at the minimum environment operation temperature. As a design criterion, it has been stated that elapsed time between Warm-up procedure start and Wind turbine Start-up must be lower than 6 hours. Two different cases have been considered and are described in pictures below.

In both cases gearbox oil heating is the longest process of the warm up procedure. In order to ensure heating performance additional heaters have been added to gearbox oil tank and a progressively accelerated idling run, fast idling, has been introduced in warm-up procedure. Both gearbox additional features have been successfully tested in cold climate chamber. In order to ensure adequate behaviour of components, as a design criterion, it has been stated that nacelle temperature must be above -10C before start-up. Note that -10C is the minimum temperature at which a standard ECO 80 cII or ECO 86 turbine starts up. As a consequence, nacelle heating has been designed to be able to heat nacelle air above -10C during warm-up period in less than 6 hours.
6.5.3. POWER PRODUCTION LOGIC

The ECO 80 CCV and ECO 86 60 Hz CCV wind turbines have 2 operational logics: 1. For the air density range corresponding to -10C to 30C at sea level altitude the control strategy will be the same as the ECO 86 60 Hz wind turbine. 2. For the air density above -10C at sea level altitude a Derated Power Curve is applied in order to keep design loads at the same level, in spite of the density increase. The former will be identified as Standard Power Curve and the later as Derated Power Curve control.
6.5.4. OPERATIONAL CURVES

At very low wind speeds (3-5 m/s) a PI controller keeps the rpm constant at the minimum by varying the generator demand. With slightly higher wind speeds (5-9 m/s) the same PI controller maintains optimum Cp. When the wind increases, rotor speed reaches rated speed and the demanded generator torque is increased to avoid further increase in rotor speed. With further increments in wind speed, the generator torque rises up to rated torque. Above rated a second PI controller maintains constant speed and rated torque adjusting the pitch angle. Between below rated and above rated a special technique decides which of the two controller has priority.

The only difference between the standard and the derated control strategy are the control parameters. Control parameters for derated control strategy are modified according to Derated Power Curve strategy.

7. MANUAL OPERATION
In the base of the tower and in the nacelle, and in a comfortably accessible position for the maintenance technician, there are the controls which permit the basic control tasks of the wind turbine with no additional device. These controls allow application/release of the main brake, application/release of the yaw brake and right/left yawing of the wind turbine. In addition, a portable computer can be connected to an output of the control cabinet to perform the operations and analysis of operation of the wind turbine from the nacelle or the base of the tower.

8. AUTOMATICAL OPERATION
The automatic mode is the default mode. In this mode, the wind turbine can reset errors, start up (releasing brakes) and yaw the machine automatically.
8.1. FUNCTION OF THE PITCH CONTROL

The pitch control is in charge of regulating the angle of attack of the blades according to the current wind speed. The general control strategy of the machine operates on the pitch control in certain conditions, as shown in the following graph:
Fig. 48. - ECO 80 PLATFORM steady operacional curves (merely illustrative).
Previous graph is merely illustrative and must not be taken as a reference for checks or other operations.

From star up wind speed (Vin) to 8 m/s wind speed wind turbine is controlled by means of variable rotor speed and generator torque. Blade pitch angle is set to minimum value. From 9 m/s wind speed Vin to rated wind speed wind turbine is controlled by means of variable generator torque (with rated rotor speed). Blade pitch angle is set to minimum value. From rated wind speed to 18 m/s wind speed wind turbine is controlled by means of blade pitch angle. Blade pitch angle increases while rotor speed and generator torque are set to rated values. From 18 m/s to cut out, the wind speed rotor speed decreases.

It also comes into operation when start-ups and stoppages are performed. In startups it permits soft connection with the grid, while in stoppages its function is to brake the machine in both normal stoppages and emergency situations.

8.2. START UP PROCESS

Turn all the blades +86 up to 2, turn again with a nominal turning speed of 5/s. For low wind speeds, the blades should be turned in one or more steps to optimize the start-up time. The generator is connected at 950 rpm. At this moment the control comes into operation and controls the speed and variable pitch. The dynamic fine pitch is deactivated during the start-up phase. After 60s of uninterrupted connection, the dynamic fine pitch is activated.
8.3. STOP PROCESSES: NORMAL STOP, ERROR STOP AND DANGER STOP
There are three different stop processes, depending on the reason for stopping the wind turbine: NORMAL STOP, ERROR STOP and DANGER STOP.
8.3.1. NORMAL STOP

Stoppage during the normal operation, for example because too low wind speed: Turning speed of the blade: from+5/s up to 86. The generator cuts out when rpm <950 rpm. No mechanical brake is used. The wind turbine is in the idling state and maintains the direction towards the wind by means of active yaw.
8.3.2. ERROR STOP

Stop by the control or safety system after detecting a major error (example: No grid). Turning speed of the blade: from +5/s up to 86. The generator cuts out when rpm <950 rpm or in the event of loss of grid, when the generator cuts out due to error. No mechanical brake is used. The wind turbine is in the idling state and maintains the direction towards the wind by means of active yaw.

8.3.3. DANGER STOP

Used only in a situation of danger and activated manually. The difference now is that the pitch control speed is greater and the mechanical brake brings the rotor to a complete stop (rpm=0). This Danger Stop is only activated manually. Pitch control speed +10/s up to 90. The generator cuts out on activating the stop. The mechanical brake in the high speed shaft start to operate when rotor speed is <5 rpm. The wind turbine is fully stopped. The brake in the high speed shaft maintains the pressure until the stop is released. IMPORTANT: WHEN THE GRID FAILS, THE BRAKE OPENS. FOR THE MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS, THE ROTOR MUST BE BLOCKED SAFELY. REFER TO THE WIND TURBINE MAINTENANCE MANUAL.
8.3.4. EMERGENCY STOP

The following devices can activate an emergency stop: Emergency buttons in the nacelle Emergency button in the control cabinet Excess vibration sensor Emergency cable twisting sensor Generator overspeed sensor
Activating the emergency buttons causes immediate interruption of the operation of the wind turbine by deactivating all of its subsystems and interrupting the power of all of the outputs. These stop buttons are designed to stop the machine even in the event of the control system failing to operate correctly, and consequently they must only be used in a danger situation. Emergency button is activated by pressing it firmly in order to activate stop position. To restore operation, pull the button firmly. Since the action of the buttons interrupts all of the outputs of the control system, pressing one during operation causes a series of operation errors which cannot be reset from the remote control. IMPORTANT: FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE EMPLACEMENT OF THE EMERGENCY STOP BUTTONS, PLEASE READ SECTION 6.4 EMERGENCY STOP BUTTONS AND SAFETY LOOP.
