The start-up protection output terminal is connected to the electrical side, boiler side, turbine side, and DEH side of the unit. The electrical side includes an electrical circuit breaker, a diesel generator system, and a DC power supply system. The boiler side includes a pulverizing system, a flue gas system, and a steam-water system. The turbine side includes a bypass system, a condensate system, a circulating water system, a vacuum system, a feedwater system, and an auxiliary steam system. The DEH side includes a coordinated control method and a control loop.
[0026] Example 2 The method for triggering rapid load reduction and isolated grid operation of generating units according to the present invention includes the following steps: When the positive sequence voltage on the main transformer side suddenly increases by ΔU H Greater than the preset value △U Hset Meanwhile, the main transformer side frequency f is greater than 50.2Hz; the main transformer side frequency f is greater than the over-frequency setting fset or the main transformer side frequency increment Δf is greater than the preset frequency increment Δf. set When any of the above conditions are met, the active power P on the main transformer side will also be... G Greater than the power setpoint P set This will trigger the unit's rapid load reduction and isolated grid operation protection action.
[0027] To better align with actual production needs, the power setpoint P is set to... set Set to 20% of the unit's rated power, the positive sequence voltage surge setpoint ΔU on the main transformer side. Hset The preset value for the frequency increment on the main transformer side is 1.2 V, Δf. set The over-frequency setpoint is 0.1 Hz, f. set It is 50.4 Hz. Combined with... Figure 1 The function triggering logic shown triggers the unit's rapid load reduction and isolated grid operation function when all parameters and judgment logic are satisfied.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, when the unit's rapid load reduction and isolated grid operation function is triggered, the unit needs to quickly coordinate the rapid switching of the control electrical system and the rapid load change of key auxiliary equipment in the auxiliary system, including but not limited to the following equipment and systems.
[0029] When the unit experiences rapid load shedding and isolated grid operation on the DEH side, the unit's control loop is quickly switched from power control to speed control to ensure that the self-contained auxiliary power supply can quickly stabilize the turbine speed and guarantee the power quality of the auxiliary power supply. Simultaneously, the unit's coordinated control automatic mode is switched to basic control mode, which improves the controllability and safety of unit operation under grid fault conditions.
[0030] The electrical side includes electrical circuit breakers, diesel generator systems, and DC power supply systems. When the function is triggered, the generator output grid-connected circuit breaker quickly trips without tripping the unit. Simultaneously, the fast-switching of the generator output auxiliary power circuit breaker is locked, maintaining the unit's operation with auxiliary power. Furthermore, to prevent the unit from failing to enter islanded operation, the diesel generator is interlocked to start, and the DC power supply is ensured to be reliable, guaranteeing a smooth and safe shutdown of the unit.
[0031] The boiler side includes a pulverizing system, a flue gas system, and a steam-water system. The pulverizing system quickly shuts down excess pulverizing operations based on the unit load, simultaneously adjusting the unit's primary air pressure and furnace negative pressure via the flue gas system. Additionally, to prevent a rapid drop in steam temperature due to the rapid reduction in fuel quantity, the superheater and reheater desuperheating water regulating valves are interlocked and shut off to prevent accidental desuperheating water spraying that could exacerbate the sudden drop in steam temperature.
[0032] The turbine side includes a bypass system, condensate system, circulating water system, vacuum system, feedwater system, and auxiliary steam system. The bypass system rapidly opens to release pressure upon triggering of operating conditions, then switches to constant pressure regulation mode after pressure stabilizes to ensure stable inlet pressure and thus stable turbine inlet steam parameters. The rapid opening of the bypass system causes a large amount of heat to enter the condenser, resulting in a surge in condenser heat. This rapidly increases the condensate flow rate and activates the standby circulating water pump and vacuum pump to ensure sufficient cooling water for the condenser, while also supplying sufficient desuperheating water to the low-pressure bypass and condenser. Furthermore, due to the rapid reduction in unit load, the auxiliary steam source parameters decrease, prompting a rapid switch from low-pressure to high-pressure steam to meet the normal steam demand of users such as feedwater pumps and turbine shaft seals, ensuring safe unit operation.
[0033] This invention has the following characteristics: This invention achieves rapid fault identification and graded triggering through a triple criterion that integrates multiple parameters such as voltage, frequency, and power angle. At the same time, it adopts a coordinated basic control method to maintain stable main steam pressure on the boiler side and switch to closed-loop speed control on the turbine side. Combined with constant voltage regulation and bypass rapid action of the excitation system, it effectively suppresses drastic fluctuations in parameters under this operating condition.
[0034] This invention enables self-contained plant power operation under grid faults by means of rapid load reduction and rapid output reduction of auxiliary equipment; on the other hand, the unit can quickly restore grid-connected load after the fault, providing stable support power for grid black start, and significantly enhancing the reliability and flexibility of system power supply.

G Greater than the power setpoint P setThis triggers the unit's rapid load reduction and islanded operation protection action.
