1 General Description
The Sinovel SL3000/113 wind energy converter (WEC) of double-fed

asynchronous generator with a rated power of 3000 kW, 113.3 m rotor
diameter, 50 Hz grid frequency and a three-blade rotor.
2 Mechanical Designs
2.1 Rotor
The SL3000/113 WEC has a three-bladed upwind rotor. The blades are
continuously positioned to help optimize the pitch angle. The rotor features
high operational reliability and efficiency. The optimized pitch-control system
helps to substantially reduce maintenance work.
Rotor
Diameter 113.3 m
Swept Area 10068.4 m2
Rotational Direction Clockwise (front view)
Orientation Upwind
Tilt 4.5 deg
Hub Coning 3 deg
Number of Blades 3
Aerodynamic Brakes Full feathering
Table 2-1: Rotor data.
2.2 Blades
The length of single blade is 55m. Aerodynamic airfoil and blade profile make blade
achieve higher aerodynamic efficiency under the lowest load condition. Material of
rotor blade is glass fibre / epoxide resin, glue and gel paint. The coat of blade is rain,
snow and sand proof and good wearing-resistant.
Blades
Type Description Airfoil shells bonded to supporting

Table 2-2: Blades data.
2.3 Blade Bearing
The blade bearings are double row 4-point contact ball bearings.
Blade Bearing
Type Ball bearing
Lubrication Automatic lubrication
Table 2-3: Blade bearing data.
2.4 Pitch System
The blades can be turned out of the rotor plane by about 90 degrees and therefore
act as aerodynamically brakes. During normal operation the pitch motors hold the
rotor blades in a defined position via the right gear at the pitch bearing, mounted to
the blade root.
The aerodynamic brake is applied by varying the rotor blade pitch by means of
motors. In the event of a fault (e.g. power loss) the pitch motor is powered by super-
capacitor (one for each drive) in the hub, and can therefore still control the pitch.
Consequently the WEC is completely safe ("fail safe design"). If one pitch drive can
not be activated (e.g. broken cable, broken power supply to hub), the other two
blades can still be turned into feathering position.
Pitch System
Type Electric
Motor Rated Power 12.4 kW

4 Turbine Protection Systems
4.1 Braking Concept
The main brake on the turbine is aerodynamic. Braking the turbine is done by
feathering the three blades. During emergency stop all three blades will feather
simultaneously to full end stop and thereby slowing the rotor speed.
In addition there is a mechanical disc brake on the high speed shaft of the gearbox.
The mechanical brake is used as a parking brake, when activating the emergency
stop push buttons .
4.2 Short Circuit Protections
The WEC is equipped with short circuit protection in both hardware and software. In
hardware, a circuit breaker is installed at the low side of the main transformer. In
software, a threshold is set in the control system to initiate a protective shutdown
when short circuit current exceeds the limit.
4.3 Over-speed Protection
The WEC is equipped with over-speed protection in both hardware and software. In
hardware, over-speed relays and converter are installed to monitor the speed of
generator. In software, a safety chain is set in the control system and will be
triggered by over-speed. When it is triggered, both mechanical and electrical brakes
will work for a protective shutdown.
4.4 Lightning Protection System
The lightning protection device of blade consists of aluminum apex lightning

receptors, two copper plates placed on different positions in the middle part of the
blade, and internal cables. It can release the lightning energy instantly from the
metal apex to the wires placed inside the blade and to the blade root flange. The
energy will go through the hub, nacelle and tower lightning protection device,
ultimately reach the earthing system on the ground.
The local earthing electrodes of each electrical device are integrated into the bus
bar in the nacelle, which connects to the ring grounding through the cable in the
tower. The Lightning Protection System is designed according to IEC standards.
4.5 Earthing
The grounding system integrates all the local grounding electrodes as a whole,
which are conductively connected to similar-function metal parts (e.g. tower base,
reinforcement parts, metal cable jackets) and grounding conductors.
The individual grounding electrodes are connected individually to the equipotent

bonding conductor to ensure that the grounding system resistance can be
measured at any time.
Three connections to the foundation grounding electrodes and three connections to

the ring electrodes are generally used, which lead separately to the equipotent
bonding conductor. The grounding conductors must be protected against corrosion.
The resistance of grounding system must be equal or less than 4.
4.6 Corrosion Protection
Classification of corrosion protection is according to ISO 12944-2.

Voltage Above 120% of Rated 2 Seconds
Voltage Above 130% of Rated 0.1 Seconds
Table 9-5: Generator and converter disconnecting values.
Figure 9-1: High voltage tolerance curve
9.4 Reactive Power Capability
Reactive power is produced by the rotor converter; therefore traditional capacitors

are not used in the turbine.
At maximum active and reactive power, the turbine reduces either active or reactive
power depending on which type of power has priority (E.g. if reactive power has
priority, the active power is reduced).
Based on the performance of SL3000 wind turbine, in Figure 9.2, the P-Q curve
could be satisfied. It is the basic operating range of the reactive power output. The
range is adjustable with specified requirements.
Figure 9-2: Reactive power capability
9.5 Low Voltage Ride Through
When voltage falling caused by grid failure happens, the wind turbine will obey the
following curve.
Figure 2-3: Low voltage ride through
The wind turbine must maintain at least 625 milliseconds of on-gird operation after
grid voltage falls to 15% of its specified value.
The wind turbine must keep operating without losing connection to the grid if gird
voltage recovers to 90% of its specified value within 3 seconds.
LVRT of the wind turbine meets the requirements of Spanish grid regulations
detailed in Figure 9-3.
9.6 Active and Reactive Power Control (optional)
The active and reactive power output can be adjusted by a power control system.
The system is divided into two parts: active power control and reactive power
control. It has the capability of receiving third partys control commands, including
active power control commands and reactive power control commands. The sketch
map of this system is shown below.
Figure 9-4 Arrangement diagram of the power output control system.
9.7 Voltage Control
The turbine is designed for integration with Sinovel SCADA voltage control by
utilizing the turbine reactive power capability.
9.8 Own Consumption
The consumption of electrical power by the wind turbine is defined as the
consumption when generator is not connected to the grid. The following table is the
power consumption of the wind turbine.
