Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of nuclear power technology, and in particular to a steam generator water level control method, system and device based on digital twin. Background Art

[0002] The steam generator is a key device in the steam supply system of a pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant, connecting the primary steam supply circuit (hereinafter referred to as the primary side or the first circuit) and the secondary steam supply circuit (hereinafter referred to as the secondary side or the second circuit). It undertakes the important function of heat and mass transfer. The coolant from the core transfers heat to the secondary circuit working fluid through the heat transfer tube and generates steam.

[0003] The water level control of the steam generator determines the safe, reliable and economical operation of the nuclear power plant units to a large extent. If the water level is too high, it will affect the steam-water separation effect, cause the steam quality to deteriorate, aggravate the erosion of the turbine, affect the life of the turbine and even damage the unit. Excessive water loading will also increase the mass loading of water in the steam generator. In the event of an accident condition where the steam pipe ruptures, excessive cooling of the core will occur, leading to a reactive accident. If the water level is too low, the top of the heat transfer tube may be exposed to the water surface. The water level fluctuation in this area will cause the heat transfer tube bundle to alternate between dry and wet and cause thermal stress fatigue. Too low a water level may also cause the water in the water supply pipeline to be emptied, which will then cause the risk of water hammer. Therefore, during the operation of a nuclear power plant, the water level of the steam generator must be maintained within a certain range.

[0004] The functions of the steam generator water level control system are: (1) to maintain the balance between the feed water flow and the steam flow under stable operating conditions so that the water level of the steam generator is within the specified range; (2) to keep the water level of the steam generator within the specified limit under transient conditions.

[0005] The working fluid on the secondary side of the steam generator undergoes single-phase convection heat transfer, subcooled boiling heat transfer and two-phase boiling heat transfer inside the steam generator. The descending channel is a single-phase fluid, and the ascending channel in the secondary tube bundle area is a two-phase mixture. There is a density wave instability phenomenon (Density Wave Oscillation) in the secondary natural circulation loop. The two-phase fluid flow and water level oscillate continuously with the fluctuation of the operating conditions, and there is a "contraction and expansion" phenomenon. This phenomenon is also called non-minimum phase dynamic phenomenon (Non-minimum Phase Dynamic), that is, when the operating conditions of the equipment change, the water level presents an instantaneous "inverse dynamic response", resulting in a "false water level". Its main manifestations are: when the feed water flow rate has a positive step, the water level of the steam generator initially shows a downward trend, and then slowly rises after a certain period of lag. This initial drop in the water level is called "false water level", and its amplitude depends on the size of the disturbance, and its lag time depends on the subcooling of the feed water. When the feed water temperature is lower, the lag time is greater. Conversely, when the feed water flow rate has a negative step change, the water level change law presents an opposite trend. When the steam flow rate has a positive step, the secondary side pressure decreases, and the two-phase mixture in the ascending channel of the tube bundle area expands, resulting in an increase in the two-phase flow resistance and a decrease in the flow rate in the descending channel, which in turn causes the secondary side water level to rise and a false water level phenomenon occurs. After the water level rises to a certain peak value, the water level decreases with the increase of steam load. This abnormal phenomenon that the water level does not decrease but increases significantly within a certain period of time after the load step increases is also a "false water level" phenomenon. When the steam flow rate has a negative step change, the water level characteristic changes show the opposite law.

[0006] The steam generator water level control system is a complex system with multiple variables, strong coupling, nonlinearity, time-varying and large hysteresis. Changes in reactor power, steam flow, feedwater temperature and flow rate will affect the water level on the secondary side of the steam generator. Therefore, the basic task of the feedwater level controller is to compensate for the water level changes caused by other factors by changing the feedwater flow rate, so that the secondary side water level is controlled within the target range. The main consequence of the long time hysteresis and shrinkage and expansion effect is that the feedwater controller must predict the impact of power plant state changes or control actions on the steam generator water level, and make a compensatory response before the final impact of the state change or action control on the steam generator water level is reflected in the measured water level.

[0007] Each of the steam generator feedwater lines is equipped with valves; a "low flow" or "bypass" valve is used for flow regulation at startup and low power conditions, and the valve is kept fully open at high power conditions. A "high flow" or "main valve" is used for flow regulation at conditions above about 20% thermal power.

[0008] The existing steam generator water level control system adopts a three-impulse water level control method with water level signal as the main adjustment input signal, steam flow as the supplementary signal, and feedwater flow as the negative feedback signal. The feedwater flow control valve opening is manually or automatically adjusted by continuously comparing the feedwater flow signal, liquid level signal and steam flow signal. Due to the phase difference and time lag between the steam flow or feedwater flow input signal and its corresponding water level output signal, the feedwater-water level control becomes extremely complicated. This is particularly serious under low-power platforms. Nuclear power plants have experienced many machine and reactor tripping incidents caused by loss of steam generator water level control, causing huge economic losses.

[0009] Therefore, the water level regulation accuracy of steam generators in existing nuclear power plants is insufficient when used under low power conditions. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] It should also be understood that the terms used in the present specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. As used in the present specification and the appended claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include plural forms.

[0045] It should be further understood that the term "and / or" used in the present description and the appended claims refers to any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0046] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The following is an application effect diagram of the water level control of the steam generator in the prior art, which includes water level regulation and feedwater pump speed regulation. The actual water level of the steam generator is measured by the differential pressure sensor N and input into the water level regulator R1 together with the water level setting value. The output signal of R1 represents the feedwater flow adjustment corresponding to the deviation between the actual water level and the set water level. The steam flow and feedwater flow are respectively measured by the steam flow sensor Q v And water flow sensor Q aThe difference (i.e., steam-water mismatch signal) is measured and input into the first flow regulator R2 as a feedforward signal together with the output of the water level regulator R1. The purpose of incorporating the feedforward signal into the first flow regulator R2 is to speed up the regulation speed, because the imbalance between the steam flow and the feedwater flow will cause the water level to change. The output of the first flow regulator R2 corresponds to the change in the opening of the feedwater valve required by the above-mentioned flow regulator, and is sent to the feedwater regulating valve V1 to make it operate, thereby changing the feedwater flow.

[0047] However, the change of feedwater flow rate will lead to the change of feedwater pump outlet pressure head, which affects the feedwater volume of the other two parallel steam generators, and then affects their water level. In addition, in order to ensure the regulating characteristics of the feedwater valve V1, the valve opening should also be kept at a moderate position, so it is required to keep the pressure difference before and after the valve as a constant value. In the actual operation of the nuclear power plant, when the pressure difference ΔP between the feedwater main pipe and the steam main pipe changes according to a certain function with the secondary circuit load, the pressure difference before and after the regulating valve can be maintained constant. Therefore, the pressure difference setting value ΔP0 between the feedwater main pipe and the steam main pipe calculated by the total steam flow is compared with the measured value ΔP to obtain a comparison signal output to the second flow regulator R3. The second flow regulator R3 outputs a signal to the feedwater pump speed regulator V2 according to the deviation size and direction of the comparison signal, changes the speed of the feedwater pump, and keeps the pressure difference before and after the feedwater pump speed regulator V2 unchanged.

[0048] Existing technology: using water level, steam flow Q v and water flow rate Q a The three-impulse water level regulation method for the input signal uses the water level signal as the main regulation input signal, the steam flow rate as the supplementary signal, and the feed water flow rate signal as the negative feedback. The water level regulation system of the prior art adopts a PID regulator, which is a cascade feedforward control system. The system has high requirements for the accuracy of the measurement value.

[0049] Under high power conditions with a power greater than 30%, the steam flow and feed water flow are large. The measurement accuracy of the Venturi tube flow transmitter on the main feed water pipeline and the differential pressure flow transmitter on the steam pipeline is high. By continuously comparing the feed water flow signal, liquid level signal and steam flow signal, the main valve opening can be accurately adjusted for flow, and the steam generator water level regulation performance is good.

[0050] However, the prior art 1 has poor water level regulation performance under low power conditions. During low power operation with power less than 30%, due to low steam flow and feed water flow, the measurement deviation of steam and feed water flow transmitters is large. At lower flow, the steam and feed water flow measurement signals are unavailable, which has a great impact on the control system. Under low power conditions, the prior art relies on the "manual operation" of the nuclear power plant operator, who manually adjusts the water level by adjusting the opening of the bypass valve.

[0051] Under low power conditions, the natural circulation loop on the secondary side of the steam generator has a more obvious density wave instability phenomenon. The phase difference between the flow at the bottom of the descending channel and the flow at the outlet of the ascending channel exceeds 180 degrees. The water level becomes unstable with the fluctuation of the operating conditions, and the water level control is difficult. The "contraction and expansion" phenomenon makes it difficult for operators to judge the impact of the feedwater valve action on the water level change. It is easy to often provide a large amount of feedwater signal to the feedwater valve when it should not be fed, causing the water level to exceed the maximum water level line, or not inject enough feedwater in time when it should be fed, causing the water level line to be too low. There have been dozens of nuclear power plant trips and reactor trips caused by loss of water level control, causing huge economic losses.

[0052] In summary, the existing steam generator water level control system has the following deficiencies: (1) Under low power conditions, due to the low steam flow and feed water flow, the measurement deviation of the steam and feed water flow transmitters is large. At lower flow rates, the steam and feed water flow measurement signals are unavailable, the water level regulation performance is poor, and the operator is required to perform "manual operation" by the nuclear power plant operator, which requires high experience and level of the operator. (2) At low power platforms, water level control is difficult. The operator controls the feed water flow through false water levels and experience. The false water level easily interferes with the operator's judgment and causes misoperation, making it difficult to adjust the steam generator water level to a safe range in a timely and accurate manner. (3) The existing system will only generate an alarm signal after the water level has deviated from the normal threshold or lost control, and the alarm signal cannot provide the operator with a corresponding indication response. (4) When a sensor in the nuclear power plant steam generator water level control system fails, it will affect the water level control signal, thereby affecting the safe operation of the nuclear power plant.

[0053] See also Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the embodiment of the present application discloses a steam generator water level control method based on digital twin. Please refer to the application effect diagram of 4. The steam generator water level control method is based on Figure 4 The pipeline structure shown realizes the corresponding water level control function; specifically, the method is applied to the steam generator water level control system, and the method is executed by the application software installed in the steam generator water level control system; the intelligent controller is communicated with each sensor, the first flow regulator and the water level regulator in the steam generator, and the first flow regulator establishes a communication connection with the feed water regulating valve. Figure 4In the piping structure shown, multiple steam generators can be connected at the same time, and each steam generator is connected to the steam main pipe and the water supply main pipe; the steam generators are represented by SG1, SG2 and SG3 respectively. Among them, the intelligent controller is a processor used to issue control instructions to control each component, such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) or other terminal devices, such as laptops, desktop computers, tablet computers or mobile phones. The above control method is mainly based on the description of controlling the water level of a steam generator. In actual application, the control method can control the water levels of multiple steam generators at the same time.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes steps S101 to S105.

[0055] S101, the intelligent controller acquires detection information obtained by the sensor in real time.

[0056] The intelligent controller acquires the detection information obtained by the sensor in real time. The sensor detects the pipeline connected to the steam generator, thereby obtaining corresponding detection information and sending it to the intelligent controller, and the intelligent controller can obtain the detection information.

[0057] S102: The intelligent controller outputs the actual measured water level in the detection information to the water level regulator to obtain the water supply flow adjustment amount outputted correspondingly by the water level regulator.

[0058] The intelligent controller outputs the actual measured water level in the detection information to the water level regulator to obtain the water supply flow adjustment amount corresponding to the output of the water level regulator. The intelligent controller outputs the actual measured water level in the detection information to the water level regulator, wherein the actual measured water level is measured by the differential pressure sensor, and the actual measured water level is input into the water level regulator together with the preset water level setting value; then the water level regulator outputs the water supply flow adjustment amount according to the actual measured water level and the water level setting value, and the water supply flow adjustment amount is also expressed as the value corresponding to eliminating the deviation between the actual measured water level and the set water level.

[0059] In a more specific embodiment, step S102 specifically includes the following steps: the intelligent controller outputs the actual measured water level in the detection information to the water level regulator; the water level regulator compares the actual measured water level with the set water level setting value, obtains the corresponding water supply flow adjustment amount and outputs it to the intelligent controller.

[0060] Specifically, the intelligent controller outputs the actual measured water level in the detection information to the water level regulator, and the water level regulator compares the actual measured water level with the set water level setting value to obtain the water supply flow adjustment amount and output it to the intelligent controller.

[0061] S103, the intelligent controller analyzes the primary side detection data and the secondary side detection data in the detection information according to a preset real-time online thermal balance model to obtain corresponding analysis results.

[0062] The intelligent controller analyzes the primary side detection data and the secondary side detection data in the detection information according to the preset real-time online heat balance model to obtain the corresponding analysis results. The detection information includes the primary side detection data (corresponding to the first circuit) and the secondary side detection data (corresponding to the second circuit); the primary side detection data is the detection data corresponding to the primary steam supply circuit side in the detection information, and the secondary side detection data is the detection data corresponding to the secondary steam supply circuit side in the detection information; the analysis results include the calculated value of the feed water flow rate and the calculated value of the steam flow rate.

[0063] In a more specific embodiment, step S103 specifically includes the following steps: constructing a first relationship between the heat exchange power of the steam generator and the steam flow rate and the feed water flow rate according to the real-time line heat balance model; constructing a second relationship between the steam flow rate and the feed water flow rate according to the water supply and drainage balance relationship; substituting the known quantities in the primary side detection data and the secondary side detection data into the first relationship and the second relationship for analysis to obtain corresponding analysis results.

[0064] Specifically, the real-time line heat balance model includes Q=C p W×(T hot -T cold )and Wherein, Q is the heat exchange power of the steam generator, C p is the volume specific heat capacity, W is the primary side coolant flow rate, T hot and T cold are the inlet and outlet coolant temperatures of the primary side, Q2 is the heat exchange power between the primary side and the secondary side of the steam generator, A S is the heat transfer area, K is the total heat transfer coefficient, T sat is the saturation temperature.

[0065] The heat exchange power Q of the steam generator and the flow rate, pressure, temperature, etc. of the inlet and outlet pipes on the primary side have the following relationship: Q = C p W×(T hot -T cold ). C pis the volume specific heat capacity, which is a function of the primary side pressure and temperature and can be obtained by querying the international standard for the thermodynamic properties of water and water vapor IAPWS-IF97. W is the primary side coolant flow rate, which is calibrated in the "Steam Generator Margin Verification Test" project after the first loading of the reactor. Since the speed of the reactor coolant pump remains unchanged when operating at rated conditions, this technical solution can directly use the flow rate calibrated in the steam generator margin verification test. T hot and T cold are the inlet and outlet coolant temperatures of the primary side, respectively, which are measured online in real time by the measuring instrument, that is, the detection information includes T hot and T cold The specific value of .

[0066] The heat transfer power Q2 of the primary and secondary sides of the steam generator and the heat transfer area A of the heat transfer tube S There is also the following relationship between the primary and secondary side temperatures: Where K is the total heat transfer coefficient, T sat is the saturation temperature, and its value can be obtained according to the international standard IAPWS-IF97 on the thermodynamic properties of water and water vapor.

[0067] Among them, the calculation formula of the total heat transfer coefficient is: h p is the primary side heat transfer coefficient, U t is the thermal conductivity of the heat transfer tube, U f is the fouling heat transfer coefficient, h s is the secondary side heat transfer coefficient. The primary side of the heat transfer tube is the forced convection heat transfer of the single-phase fluid in the tube, and the secondary side heat transfer outside the heat transfer tube can be considered as large space boiling heat transfer, which is calculated using the Dittus-Boelter and its modified formula and the Rohsenow large space boiling heat transfer formula.

[0068] Furthermore, the first relational expression is Q=W s ((1-x)H s +xH l )+W p H l -W f H f ; W s is the steam flow rate, W p is the secondary side sewage flow, W f is the water flow rate, H s Saturated steam enthalpy, H l Saturated water enthalpy, H f The feed water enthalpy value, x is the humidity percentage in the steam; the second relationship is W f =W s +W p .

[0069] According to the heat balance model, the water flow rate W can be calculated f The corresponding calculated feed water flow rate and steam flow rate W s The corresponding calculated value of steam flow provides the necessary input parameters for the water level control system.

[0070] S104: The intelligent controller outputs the analysis result and the water supply flow adjustment amount to the first flow regulator.

[0071] If the operating conditions are met, the intelligent controller outputs the analysis result and the water supply flow adjustment amount to the first flow regulator.

[0072] In a more specific embodiment, the following steps are also included before step S104: the intelligent controller determines whether the reactor power in the detection information meets the preset operating conditions; if the operating conditions are met, the intelligent controller executes the step of outputting the analysis results and the water feed flow adjustment amount to the first flow regulator; if the operating conditions are not met, the intelligent controller simulates the detection information according to a preset simulation model to obtain corresponding simulation calculation results; the simulation calculation results include the water level change trend and the water level change amplitude range; the intelligent controller outputs the simulation calculation results and the water feed flow adjustment amount to the first flow regulator, so that the first flow regulator outputs the control instructions to the water feed regulating valve to adjust the water feed flow.

[0073] If the operating conditions are met, continue to step S140.

[0074] The intelligent controller determines whether the reactor power in the detection information meets the preset operating conditions. The intelligent controller obtains the reactor power from the detection information and determines whether the reactor power meets the operating conditions.

[0075] In a more specific embodiment, the determination of whether the reactor power in the detection information satisfies the preset operating condition specifically includes the following steps: determining whether the reactor power in the detection information is in a high-power condition; determining whether the reactor power in the detection information is in a stable operating condition; if the reactor power is in a high-power condition and is in a stable operating condition, determining that the operating condition is satisfied; if the reactor power is not in a high-power condition or is not in a stable operating condition, determining that the operating condition is not satisfied.

[0076] Specifically, the reactor power can be obtained from the detection information, and it can be determined whether the reactor power is in a high-power condition; wherein, the power corresponding to the high-power condition is not less than 30% Pn, and Pn is the full power of the reactor. If the reactor power is not less than 30% Pn, it is determined to be in a high-power condition; if the reactor power is less than 30% Pn, it is determined not to be in a high-power condition. It is further determined whether the reactor power is in a stable operating condition, wherein the stable operating condition corresponds to a power change of no more than 10% FP / min, and 10% FP / min is a power increase or decrease of 5% of the full power per minute. If the rate of change of the reactor power is no more than 10% FP / min, it is determined to be a stable operating condition; if the rate of change of the reactor power is greater than 10% FP / min, it is determined not to be a stable operating condition.

[0077] If the operating condition is not met, the intelligent controller performs simulation calculation on the detection information according to a preset simulation model to obtain corresponding simulation calculation results. The simulation calculation results include the water level change trend and the water level change amplitude range.

[0078] In a more specific embodiment, the simulation calculation of the detection information according to a preset simulation model specifically includes the following steps: dividing the steam generator into control bodies according to the division rules in the simulation model to obtain corresponding control body division results; calculating each control body in the control body division results according to the control equations in the simulation model to obtain physical properties of each control body; solving and calculating the physical properties of each control body according to the gas-liquid conservation equations in the simulation model to obtain corresponding simulation calculation results.

[0079] The steam generator, the primary circuit, and the secondary circuit can be divided according to the division rules set in the simulation model to obtain the control volume division results. The division rules include whether the cavity is an internal cavity, whether the cavity has a flowing fluid, whether the cavity has an inflow interface and an outflow interface, etc. If the judgment results are all yes, the cavity is divided into a control volume. The control volume division results are as follows Figure 5 As shown, the steam chamber corresponds to one control body, numbered "(1)", the separator corresponds to two control bodies, numbered "(2)" and "(3)", and so on. The pipeline above the primary side inlet corresponds to twelve control bodies numbered 1-12, and the pipeline above the primary side outlet corresponds to twelve control bodies numbered 13-24.

[0080] Furthermore, each control volume included in the control volume division result is calculated respectively according to the control equation in the simulation model, so as to obtain the physical property parameters of the control volume.

[0081] Specifically, the control equation includes: M is the mass of the control body; U is the energy of the control body; W is the mass flow rate of the flow channel; S is the flow cross section of the flow channel; ∑Q ST is the generalized source term; L is the flow channel length; Δp f is the friction pressure drop; Δp s is the local pressure drop; Δp g is the pressure drop at the gravity position; Δp a is the acceleration pressure drop; h is the specific enthalpy; the subscripts i and j are the control body numbers, k is the flow channel number between the control bodies, in is the flow into the control body, out is the flow out of the control body, and ex is the flow rate between the control body and the external interface.

[0082] The pressure, specific enthalpy, mass in the control volume and the mass flow rate in the flow channel can be obtained by the above control equation. i The physical parameters are determined according to the international standard IAPWS-IF97 for the thermodynamic properties of water and water vapor. The relevant relationship can be expressed as v i =f(p i ,h i );where v i is the specific volume of control body i; p i is the pressure of control volume i.

[0083] When there is water level in the control body, the cavitation fraction in the upper and lower regions of the control body is discontinuous, the lower region may be in a cold water state or a saturated two-phase state, and the upper region may be in a superheated steam state or a saturated two-phase state containing droplets. In the transient process, the upper and lower regions expand and contract with the change of water level, and the gas-liquid conservation equations are established for the upper and lower regions respectively in the transient numerical model. By solving the control equations for the lower region of the control body with water level, the technical invention can track the water level changes on the secondary side of the steam generator, thereby identifying the false water level phenomenon; the corresponding gas-liquid conservation equation is A is the flow cross section of the control body, v is the specific heat capacity of the control body, WL is the water level in the control body, and the subscript un is the lower area of ​​the control body with water level.

[0084] Furthermore, the intelligent controller outputs the simulation calculation result and the water supply flow adjustment amount to the first flow regulator, so that the first flow regulator outputs a control instruction to the water supply regulating valve to adjust the water supply flow. Similarly, the first flow regulator R2 generates a corresponding control instruction according to the received simulation calculation result and the water supply flow adjustment amount, and outputs the control instruction to the water supply regulating valve.

[0085] S105. The first flow regulator outputs a control instruction to the water supply regulating valve to regulate the water supply flow.

[0086] The first flow regulator outputs a corresponding control instruction to the water supply regulating valve to adjust the water supply flow. The first flow regulator R2 generates a corresponding control instruction based on the received analysis result and the water supply flow adjustment amount, and outputs the control instruction to the water supply regulating valve; then the control instruction output by the first flow regulator R2 can correspond to the valve opening change of the water supply regulating valve, and the control instruction is output to the water supply regulating valve V1 to make it act, thereby changing the water supply flow.

[0087] In a more specific embodiment, the steam generator also includes a second flow regulator and a feed water pump speed regulator, the second flow regulator is communicatively connected to the intelligent controller, and the second flow regulator establishes a communication connection with the feed water pump speed regulator; the above-mentioned control method also includes the following steps: the intelligent controller obtains the feed water main pipe pressure value and the steam main pipe pressure value in the detection information to perform a differential operation to obtain a corresponding pressure difference measurement value; the intelligent controller inputs the pressure difference measurement value to the second flow regulator; the second flow regulator compares the pressure difference measurement value with the set pressure difference setting value, and outputs a control instruction to the feed water pump speed regulator to adjust the water pump speed according to the comparison result.

[0088] The specific working principle is as follows Figure 4 As shown, the pressure difference setting value between the water supply main pipe and the steam main pipe can be set to ΔP0. The intelligent controller performs a differential operation on the water supply main pipe pressure value and the steam main pipe pressure value in the detection information to obtain the corresponding pressure difference measurement value ΔP. The intelligent controller inputs the pressure difference measurement value to the second flow regulator. The second flow regulator compares the pressure difference measurement value ΔP and the pressure difference setting value ΔP0. The second flow regulator outputs a control instruction to the water pump speed regulator according to the deviation size and direction of the two values, thereby changing the speed of the water supply pump so that the pressure difference before and after the water pump speed regulator V2 remains unchanged.
