Abstract: Wind power is one of the most attractive renewable clean energies under development at present. On a global scale, wind power generation development was very rapid in recent years. As the wind power generation tends to develop toward large-scale and offshore, the traditional cooling methods gradually expose their own shortcomings. As the large wind turbine installation tower is high, and the installation site is dispersed, the installation and maintenance of wind turbine generator are di?cult. So, the generator is required to have a small weight and less maintenance. Self-circulation inner evaporative cooling system (SCIECS) has the following advantages: self-circulation without pump, high cooling e?ciency, safe and reliable operation, and basically maintain-free, etc. The self-circulation of cooling system can be realized by the 3?–5? between wind turbine generator and the horizontal direction, and it is very suitable for being used in a large-scale wind power generator. Owing to the intrinsic nonlinearity of two-phase self-circulation system, changes of operation condition and circuit topology in a large range may lead to an instability of the cooling system, causing the system parameters to severly change. The instability of the cooling system can cause the local overheating and even burning of the generator, which provides a huge security risk for the cooling system, thus threatening the safe and stable operation of the generator. The stability of SCIECS is very important for the safe operation of wind turbine. In this paper, static stability of the SCIECS in wind power generator is studied based on the nonlinear bifurcation analysis theory and its numerical continuation method. System static bifurcation diagram is obtained to analyze the evolution characteristics of the SCIECS. Parameter effect of the system static bifurcation is analyzed at the same time. In order to verify the theoretical prediction of the static bifurcation of the small-angle two-phase natural circulation, an experimental platform is built. Static bifurcation of the SCIECS is observed experimentally. The experimental results show that the static bifurcation phenomenon exists in the natural circulation two-phase flow of small angle, and the theoretically predicted m-Q bifurcation curves are in good agreement with the experimental curves, which verifies the correctness of the theoretical analysis.
