Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of thermal equipment performance status diagnosis, and in particular to a method for calibrating and determining the effect of fuel quantity disturbance on meter steam flow, and related products. Background Art
[0002] In modern thermal power generation systems, the DC boiler is the core equipment of the unit. Its operating quality directly determines the stability and economy of power production. Fuel quantity disturbance, as a typical operating condition change, will cause coupled fluctuations in multiple parameters such as steam temperature and pressure, resulting in measurement deviations in the steam flow meter. Accurately grasping the variation law of this parameter is of great engineering value to achieving safe and economical operation of the unit.
[0003] Traditional methods for calculating the impact of fuel quantity disturbances on metered steam flow rely primarily on complex mechanism models. The construction of these models is extremely cumbersome and requires a large amount of precise equipment parameters and operating data. However, in actual production environments, these parameters are often difficult to accurately obtain due to factors such as complex and variable equipment operating conditions and limited precision of measuring instruments. This results in significant deviations in the calculation results based on the mechanism models and an inability to provide reliable data support for unit operation. While numerical simulation methods can theoretically achieve relatively accurate results, they consume significant computing resources and are time-consuming, failing to meet the needs of real-time monitoring and rapid analysis. During actual unit operation, operators need to promptly understand the impact of fuel quantity disturbances on metered steam flow so they can make rapid adjustments to ensure stable unit operation. However, existing numerical simulation methods are insufficiently timely, making it difficult to meet this practical need.
[0004] In summary, the existing methods have defects such as complex calculations, large result deviations, and poor timeliness, which make it difficult to provide operators with a reliable basis for meter steam flow calibration. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an efficient and accurate method. Summary of the Invention

Combined with the first expression of the specific volume change, the fifth expression of the meter steam flow change is derived. By collecting the unit operation data and combining it with the fifth expression to calculate the change in the meter steam flow rate, it is determined whether the change in the meter steam flow rate is zero. If the judgment result is no, the meter needs to be calibrated; if the judgment result is yes, the meter does not need to be calibrated.

[0043] Example 1 Taking a 600MW supercritical coal-fired power unit as an example, the unit operating data is collected based on thermodynamic charts and unit operating conditions, as shown in Table 1. It is determined whether the meter needs to be calibrated when a 1% fuel quantity disturbance occurs in the unit.

[0046] (2) Calculate the change in steam flow rate using the fifth expression
[0047] (3) The steam flow change on the meter is not zero, and the meter needs to be calibrated.
[0048] The present invention provides a method for verifying the effect of fuel quantity disturbance on the steam flow of a meter, based on the following concepts: According to the principle of conservation of energy, by analyzing the relationship between the heat absorption of the direct current furnace and the heat absorption process of the working fluid, and combining the functional characteristics of the working fluid enthalpy value with temperature and pressure and the turbine flow calculation model, a reasonable simplified assumption is adopted to optimize the calculation process, and the influence of fuel quantity disturbance on the steam flow and other parameters of the meter at the key node of the direct current furnace is derived; according to the law of conservation of energy, the basic principles of thermodynamics, and the relevant theories of fluid mechanics, the principle followed by the implementation of the technical solution of the present invention can be further proposed, namely: 1. Use the law of conservation of energy to determine the balance between the heat absorbed by the DC furnace and the heat of the working fluid, providing a basis for subsequent derivation; 2. Consider the working fluid characteristics to derive parameter relationships. Steam specific volume is a function of pressure and temperature. Utilizing this characteristic, through calculations, we describe the relationship between working fluid specific volume, temperature, and pressure changes under fuel quantity disturbances. This is then used to derive formulas for calculating the change in metered steam flow at the turbine inlet and at a specific point in the steam-water flow path of the once-through boiler. 3. When analyzing the impact of fuel quantity disturbances on the metered steam flow rate at a certain point in the steam-water flow process of a once-through boiler, and the impact of the metered steam flow rate, formulas derived from fluid mechanics theory are used to establish the relationship between various parameters, thereby enabling the calculation and analysis of changes in the corresponding parameters.
