The invention belongs to the technical field of thermal power generation control, and particularly discloses an
automatic control method for
tripping of a high-pressure heater drain pump of a thermal power
generating unit, which comprises the following steps: step 1, gradually reducing the
coal quantity of the thermal power
generating unit according to a preset first rate, and enabling the thermal power
generating unit to run in a sliding pressure manner in a
steam turbine tracking manner; 2, the real-time
coal quantity of the thermal power generating unit is obtained, the total
air volume and the primary air pressure are regulated and controlled according to the real-time
coal quantity, meanwhile, the locking preset time of boiler core equipment of the thermal power generating unit is regulated and controlled, and the operation number of a coal pulverizing
system is regulated and controlled; 3, the feed
water flow of a
feed pump, the pressure of a
condensate pump, main steam parameters of a
steam turbine and the final-stage high-pressure heater liquid level are regulated and controlled; and 4, whether the
unit load, the feed
water flow, the main steam parameters and the final-stage high-pressure heater liquid level meet the control ending conditions or not is judged in real time, and if not, the step 2 to the step 4 are repeated. According to the method, the non-planned shutdown frequency can be remarkably reduced, and the operation reliability and safety of the thermal power generating unit are greatly improved.
