High Reliability: SIL 3 and PLe safety certifications are achieved, with a low failure rate, proven in over 100 GW of offshore wind power projects worldwide.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Key Points
Daily Maintenance:
Regularly check fiber connections, board tightness, and water cooling system pressure/flow.
Perform annual capacitor capacity testing, dust cleaning, and wiring tightening.
Common Troubleshooting:
Communication Failure: Check the fiber optic cables, board status, and Modbus/Ethernet interfaces within the cabinet.
Synchronization Signal Abnormality: Verify synchronous voltage stability (AB/BC/CA phases) and TV line disconnection.
Water Cooling System Alarm: Check the main circulation pump, valve status, pipeline leaks, and buffer tank pressure.
Board Failure: If AD board data verification fails, check for damage to the IGBT driver, current sensor, or fiber.
Configuration and Communication Failures
Configuration Failure: When the system is powered on, the control panel will send configuration parameters to each functional board and test the communication link. If a message such as “Unit board configuration fault” appears, check the following:
Is the communication fiber in the cabinet secure? Are the boards loose or have signs of burning?
Is the cabinet power-on sequence correct? It is recommended to power cycle the power cord.
If the fault persists, replace the board or fiber.
Communication Failure: If communication between the system control panel and the device cabinet is interrupted, check the following:
Is the fiber connection between the control panel loose? Are the boards frozen?
Use the Modbus RS485 serial port or Ethernet interface to troubleshoot communication protocol issues.
Board and Hardware Failures
Board Failure: If a message such as “Level 2 AD board fault” is detected during operation, check the following:
Board data verification failure, which may involve the IGBT driver, current sensor, etc.
If a board is loose, burned, or the fiber is damaged, replace the board or fiber.
Synchronization Failure: If the synchronization signal is lost or the frequency is abnormal, check the following:
The synchronization voltage (AB/BC/CA phases) is stable, and whether the TV line is disconnected.
Frequency failures may indicate grid voltage fluctuations or sensor problems.
Water Cooling System Abnormality
Water Cooling Failure: If the water cooling system issues a “trip” signal, check the following:
The operating status of the main circulation pump, whether the valve is open, and whether there are any leaks in the pipeline.
The buffer tank pressure, inlet valve pressure, and cooling water flow rate are within normal ranges.
If the water cooling system PLC fails or the control power supply fails, shut down the equipment immediately.
Other Common Problems
Circuit Breaker Abnormality: If a circuit breaker node experiences abnormality during operation, check for loose connections and normal node voltages.
Brake Problems: A stuck brake or coil failure may result in delayed shutdown and require adjustment or replacement.
Motor and Cable: Motor winding insulation, cable damage, or internal IGBT/rectifier bridge failures in the inverter require professional inspection.
Technical Parameters and Maintenance Recommendations
PCS6000 Features: Rated capacity ranges from 12.5Mvar to 40Mvar. It utilizes a three-level voltage source converter (VSC) and IGCT technology, supports fast dynamic reactive power compensation, and has a response time in the millisecond range.
Maintenance Tips: Regularly check board connections, fiber optic status, and water cooling system pressure and flow. Perform annual dust removal, wiring tightening, and capacitor capacity testing.
