Compared with traditional coal or diesel generator sets, gas generator sets have significant advantages in fuel utilization efficiency, pollution emissions and response speed, especially in reducing emissions of harmful gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Therefore, they have gradually become an important clean energy power generation method.

[0003] The control system of gas generator sets plays a vital role in ensuring the efficient and safe operation of gas generator sets. Through precise monitoring and adjustment technology, it optimizes the fuel input, combustion process and generator output power. The control system of modern gas generator sets usually adopts digital and automated methods, which can achieve rapid response to load fluctuations, precise control of gas consumption and maximization of power generation efficiency, thereby improving the stability and economy of the unit and reducing unnecessary energy waste and emissions.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, the collected data of the sensor is given as an example, see Table 1.

[0053] Table 1. Data collected by the sensor

[0054]

[0055] The embodiment of the present application realizes real-time monitoring of the operating status of the gas generator set and abnormal warning through the collaborative work of the data storage and display screen.

The central processor calculates and adjusts the air flow in real time to ensure that the gas can be completely burned under different loads and working conditions; and adjusts the mixed fuel compression ratio to ensure that the engine operates in the best working state, reducing fuel consumption, extending engine life and reducing maintenance costs; in addition, the central processor adjusts the optimal load factor by minimizing the cost of gas use, ensuring the maximum energy efficiency of the gas generator set.

[0060] Furthermore, the central processor calculates the air-fuel molar ratio in combination with the combustion reaction equation of the gas components, and the implementation process includes:

[0061] The gas component ratio at the gas inlet is obtained according to the gas sensor 130, and the oxygen demand of different gas components in the gas inlet is obtained in combination with the combustion reaction equation. The oxygen demand for complete combustion of the gas in the cylinder of the compression ignition internal combustion engine 160 is obtained through the gas component ratio; the air-fuel molar ratio is obtained in combination with the ratio of oxygen in the air. The specific calculation formula is:

[0062] ;

[0063] in, is the air-fuel molar ratio; Represents one mole Oxygen demand of each gas component; Indicates The gas composition ratio of each gas composition; It represents the molar fraction of oxygen in the air, and is generally taken as 0.21; Indicates the total number of gas components in the fuel.

[0064] For example, according to the combustion reaction equation of methane It can be seen that two moles of oxygen are required for the complete combustion of one mole of methane; while non-combustible gas components such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen cannot be further burned by themselves, so these non-combustible gas components are inert components in the combustion process.

[0065] The embodiment of the present application significantly improves the combustion efficiency and stability of the gas generator set by accurately calculating the air-fuel molar ratio by combining the combustion reaction equation of the gas components. The central processing unit obtains the concentration and oxygen demand of each component based on the proportion of gas components, and accurately calculates the air-fuel molar ratio by combining the molar fraction of oxygen in the air. This process ensures the complete combustion of the gas, optimizes the combustion conditions, maximizes the thermal efficiency and reduces exhaust emissions.

[0066] Furthermore, the central processing unit combines the ambient temperature, the ambient pressure and the air-fuel molar ratio to obtain a specific implementation process of the optimal air flow:

The formula is expressed as follows:

[0068] ;

[0069] ;

[0070] in, represents said optimum air flow rate; Indicates optimal air quality; represents the ambient air pressure; represents the ambient temperature; represents the unit gas constant; represents the air-fuel molar ratio; Indicates the unit molecular mass of air; Indicates the unit molecular mass of gas; Indicates the input gas flow; Indicates the gas The unit molecular mass of each gas component; Indicates The gas composition ratio of each gas composition; Represents the influencing factor of the optimal air flow and its value is in the interval Inside; Represents the influencing factor of the optimal air quality and its value is in the interval Inside;

[0071] The unit regulator adjusts the air intake of the air intake port according to the optimal air flow rate; the air and fuel gas are mixed through the mixer 150 and transmitted to the cylinder of the compression ignition internal combustion engine 160.

[0072] In order to further illustrate the role of the optimal air flow rate proposed in the present invention, the optimal air flow rates of different batches are exemplarily given for comparison in combination with the data collected in Table 1. Table 2 lists the unit molecular weight and unit oxygen demand of different gas components. Table 3 lists the optimal air flow rates of different batches of collected data.

[0073] Table 2. Unit molecular mass and unit oxygen demand of different gas components

[0074]

[0075] Table 3. Optimal air flow rate for different batches of collected data

[0076]

[0077] During the optimal air flow process in Table 3, the unit gas constant is ; The unit molecular mass of air is ; The influencing factors of the optimal air flow is 1; The influencing factor of the optimal air quality is 1. According to the data in Table 3, the relationship between the optimal air flow rate and the air-fuel molar ratio can be analyzed. In the data of different batches, when the air-fuel molar ratio is low, a higher optimal air flow rate is usually required. For example, in the BH01 batch, when the air-fuel molar ratio is 0.09, the optimal air flow rate is 20.62, while in the BH02 batch, when the air-fuel molar ratio is 0.10, the optimal air flow rate drops to 16.17. At the same time, the higher the gas flow rate, the more combustible gas components need to be burned, resulting in more optimal air flow required.

[0078] The embodiment of the present application combines the ambient temperature, ambient air pressure and air-fuel molar ratio to accurately calculate the optimal air flow rate, significantly improving the combustion efficiency and stability of the gas generator set. The central processing unit calculates the actual air density and accurately adjusts the air flow rate, thereby ensuring that the gas can be mixed with the air in the optimal proportion under different environmental conditions to achieve the effect of complete combustion, effectively improving thermal efficiency, reducing exhaust emissions, optimizing fuel utilization, and reducing fuel consumption.

[0086] The unit regulator adjusts the piston top dead center of the cylinder in the compression ignition internal combustion engine 160 according to the mixed fuel compression ratio, so that the auto-ignition temperature of the fuel gas matches the compression ratio, thereby reducing hardware damage caused by detonation.

[0087] The embodiment of the present application combines the gas composition ratio of the combustible gas and the auto-ignition temperature difference to accurately calculate the ideal mixed fuel compression ratio, which significantly improves the combustion efficiency and stability of the gas generator set and ensures that the engine operates in the best working state.
