A novel wind power generation system based on mechanical and electrical variable transmission(M-EVT) is proposed,which utilizes one-stage mechanical gearbox to boost the speed and EVT to regulate the speed.The system could not only realize variable speed constant frequency(VSCF) operation and wind power maximum power point tracking(MPPT) control,but also increases the system reliability,reduces the system volume and capacity of complex power electronic apparatus.In this paper,the principles of the wind power generation system based on M-EVT were presented.The operation processes of the system and the operational modes of EVT in the system were analyzed.Computer simulation of a generation cycle was used to validate the operational modes and control strategies of the M-EVT system.An EVT prototype machine was fabricated and the test bench of the M-EVT system was implemented.Experimental results were given to verify the theoretical analysis,which make the foundation for further research and application of M-EVT wind power generation system.
