Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of equipment status assessment in thermal power plants, and in particular relates to a method for assessing the status of a high-pressure steam conduit of a steam turbine. Background Art

[0002] The high-pressure steam pipe of the steam turbine is an important component of the steam turbine system of a thermal power plant. In recent years, thermal power units have frequently participated in the peak load regulation of the power grid, which makes the high-pressure steam pipe of the steam turbine in a relatively harsh working condition during operation. It is easily affected by the thermal alternating load. In addition, long-term high-temperature and high-pressure operation makes it easy for creep voids in local areas to form microcracks. In particular, under the influence of high-temperature and high-pressure variable loads, the weld tissue state of the high-pressure steam pipe and the high-pressure outer cylinder of the steam turbine deteriorates and the tissue embrittlement increases the risk of failure. In addition, since the high-pressure steam pipe of the steam turbine is located outside the high-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine platform, if it fails, it will cause a major safety accident. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately evaluate the state of the high-pressure steam pipe of the steam turbine.

[0003] Regarding the high-pressure steam pipe of a steam turbine, there are literature reports on the use of non-destructive testing methods to evaluate the material status and estimate the creep residual life of the boiler steam pipe of a power plant, such as the literature "Material Status and Creep Remaining Life Evaluation of Boiler Steam Pipes, Thermal Power Generation, 2011 (8)". There are literature reports on the determination of the high-temperature impact energy and high-temperature endurance strength of the steam pipe based on laboratory material performance tests, and the calculation of the maximum stress of the steam pipe under working conditions and the prediction of the remaining life of the steam pipe based on the finite element method, such as the literature "Availability Assessment and Remaining Life Analysis of Power Plant Boiler Steam Pipes, East China University of Science and Technology, 2002". There are also literature reports on the calculation of the residual life of the high-pressure steam pipe based on the comprehensive strength analysis method based on material aging factors and the creep damage method, such as the literature "Usage Status Evaluation and Life Assessment of the High-Pressure Steam Pipe of Huainan Tianjia'an Power Plant, Proceedings of the Sixth National Conference on Failure Analysis and Life Management of Metal Components in Power Plants, 2000". However, no reports on the status evaluation of the high-pressure steam pipe of a steam turbine were found.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to find a universal method that does not require the evaluator to have rich basic knowledge of mathematical analysis, basic knowledge of metal materials, knowledge of mechanical calculation, knowledge and experience of life assessment, and does not require the evaluator to bear additional testing costs. Only by obtaining existing offline detection data, the condition of the turbine high-pressure steam pipe can be evaluated, thereby directly helping thermal power plant technicians to formulate maintenance strategies. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for evaluating the status of a high-pressure steam duct of a steam turbine, so as to help steam turbine professionals or metal professionals in thermal power plants to better formulate maintenance strategies.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention and the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0007] A method for evaluating the status of a high-pressure steam duct of a steam turbine comprises the following steps:

[0008] 1) Clarify the assessment object and its basic information. The assessment object is the high-pressure steam pipe of the steam turbine, such as the high-pressure steam pipe on the left side of the steam turbine and the high-pressure steam pipe on the right side of the steam turbine. The basic information includes design drawings, design diameter, design wall thickness, design material, design and manufacturing data, and previous maintenance records;

[0009] 2) Clarify the four stages of the entire operational life cycle of the assessment object: early, mid, late and final stages;

[0010] 3) Based on the principles of key parts of equipment, easy inspection and operation, lowest maintenance cost, and controllable maintenance plan, detailed evaluation points are selected from straight pipes, elbows and welds;

[0011] 4) Calculate the basic condition factor based on the full operational life cycle stage and defects found during the design, manufacturing and installation stages;

[0012] 5) Calculate the correction factor based on the feedback of the last three evaluation results of the evaluation object;

[0013] 6) For the selected evaluation points, select appropriate items from macro inspection, surface flaw detection, non-destructive testing, metallographic inspection, pipe diameter inspection, ovality measurement, hardness inspection, and wall thickness measurement to formulate and implement offline inspection plans;

[0014] 7) Obtain offline detection status parameter results;

[0015] 8) Conduct condition assessment on selected straight pipes, elbows and weld assessment points;

[0016] 9) Comprehensively evaluate the status of all evaluation points and conduct status evaluation on the evaluation object;

[0017] 10) The status of the evaluation object is used as feedback for the next evaluation and to calculate the correction factor.

[0018] The specific operation steps of step 2) are:

[0019] It is clear that the assessment object is in a specific stage of the entire operational life cycle. The early stage is (0,0.1L c ], the middle stage is (0.1L c ,0.8L c ], the final stage is (0.8L c ,0.9L c ], the terminal stage is (0.9L c ,Lc ], L c is the design life, L c Generally, it is 30 years.

[0020] The specific operation steps of step 3) are:

[0021] Based on comprehensive consideration of the principles of key parts of equipment, easy detection, lowest maintenance cost, and controllable maintenance plan, the evaluation points are determined in a targeted manner and divided into three categories: straight pipes, elbows, and welds, which are distinguished by the following subscripts st, et, and wb respectively.

[0022] The specific operation steps for calculating the basic state factor in step 4) are:

[0023] Based on the full operational life cycle stage of the evaluation object identified in step 2), and combined with the defects found in the design, manufacturing and installation stages, the basic state factor C is determined according to formula (1): S ;

[0024] C S =α·S (1)

[0025] In the formula, the values ​​of parameters α and S are found in the following table according to the basic information collected in step 1);

[0026]

[0027] The specific operation steps for calculating the correction factor in step 5) are:

[0028] Based on the feedback of the last three evaluation results of the evaluation object, the correction factor C is determined according to formula (2): C ;

[0029]

[0030] In the formula, parameter δ is the operating time of the evaluation object (unit: year);

[0031] C1, C2, and C3 are the correction coefficients corresponding to the three most recent evaluation results, and their values ​​are shown in the following table.

[0032]

[0033]

[0034] The specific operation steps of step 6) are:

[0035] For the evaluation points determined in step 3), select executable items from macro inspection, surface flaw detection, non-destructive testing, metallographic inspection, pipe diameter inspection, ovality measurement, hardness inspection, and wall thickness measurement to develop and implement an offline inspection plan.

[0036] The specific operation steps of step 7) are:

[0037] According to the offline detection items determined in step 6), the offline detection status parameter results of the evaluation points are obtained and divided into two categories: rating category and measurement category.

[0038] The state parameters corresponding to the four offline inspection items of macro inspection, surface flaw detection, nondestructive testing, and metallographic inspection are collectively referred to as rating state parameters. The state parameters and weights are denoted by CP G1 , CP G2 , CP G3 , CP G4 and W G1 , W G2 , W G3 , W G4 express.

The state parameters and weights are denoted by CP M1 , CP M2 , CP M3 , CP M4 and W M1 , W M2 , W M3 , W M4 express.

[0040] The specific operation steps of step 8) are:

[0041] According to the offline detection state parameter results obtained in step 7), a state evaluation is performed on a single evaluation point, and the state of a single evaluation point is defined as C j , the evaluation model is shown in formula (3);

[0042]

[0045]

[0046] The specific operation steps in step 9) are:

Then, the evaluation object is evaluated as a whole, and the evaluation model of the final state value is shown in formula (13).

[0048]

[0049] If the status C value of the evaluation object is 0, the status of the evaluation object is considered to be the best. When the C value changes from 0 to 1, the status of the evaluation object gradually deteriorates. When the C value is greater than 0.8, the status of the evaluation object is poor, and there are many evaluation points in poor condition, especially at the end and terminal stages of the full operating life cycle. If the status C value of the evaluation object is greater than 0.8 for three consecutive evaluations, it also confirms that the status of the evaluation object is poor, and the enterprise should be prepared to replace the overall evaluation object.

[0084] There were no abnormalities in the turbine high-pressure cylinder steam guide pipe during the design and manufacturing stages, and there was no record of replacement and maintenance during operation. The results of the last three status assessments were: good, general, and general, respectively.

[0085] 2) The steam pipe of the high-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine has been in operation for 27.5 years and is at the end of its full operating life cycle.

[0086] 3) Considering the three recent maintenance situations, 4 straight pipe evaluation points, 2 elbow evaluation points, and 4 weld evaluation points were selected.

[0093]

[0094] 9) Based on the status assessment results of all assessment points, a status assessment is conducted on the assessment object. The assessed status value of the high-pressure steam pipe is 0.72. Compared with the most recent status assessment value of 0.69, its status has a trend of deterioration. Real-time status monitoring of the high-pressure steam pipe should be carried out.

[0095]

[0096] 10) Finally, the status assessment results of the high-pressure steam pipe are archived and used as feedback for the next assessment and to calculate the correction factor.

[0097] Implementation case 2:

[0098] Taking the results of the A-repair of the left and right high-pressure upper cylinder steam guide pipes of a 600MW supercritical unit steam turbine in October 2020 as an example, the status assessment is implemented according to the method of this invention:

[0099] 1) The evaluation objects are clearly defined as: the high-pressure steam pipe on the left side of the steam turbine and the high-pressure steam pipe on the right side of the steam turbine.

[0100] The high-pressure steam pipe on the left side of the turbine and the high-pressure steam pipe on the right side of the turbine are symmetrically distributed, and the basic information is basically the same. The design diameter and wall thickness are: 392.2mm×65.9mm, the design material is P122, and the bending radius is 1450mm.

[0101] There were no abnormalities with the high-pressure steam pipe on the left side and the high-pressure steam pipe on the right side of the turbine during the design and manufacturing stages. There was no record of replacement and maintenance during operation. The results of the last three status assessments were: general, poor, and poor, respectively.

[0102] 2) The high-pressure steam duct on the left side of the turbine and the high-pressure steam duct on the right side of the turbine have been in operation for 25 years and are at the end of their full operating life cycle.

[0103] 3) Taking into account the three recent maintenance situations, for each steam pipe, three straight pipe evaluation points were selected at the upper, middle and lower parts of the straight pipe, one elbow evaluation point was selected at the upper elbow, and two weld evaluation points were selected at the weld between the elbow and the straight pipe.

[0104] 4) The high-pressure steam pipe on the left side of the steam turbine and the high-pressure steam pipe on the right side of the steam turbine are at the end stage of their full operating life cycle. The parameter α is 2. No abnormality is found during design, manufacturing and installation. S is 0, and the calculated basic state factor values ​​are all 0.

[0105] 5) The results of the latest three status assessments of the left and right high-pressure steam pipes of the steam turbine are: fair, poor, and poor, and the calculated correction factor values ​​are all 0.21;

[0106] 6) For the selected evaluation points of the high-pressure steam pipe on the left side of the steam turbine and the high-pressure steam pipe on the right side of the steam turbine, select the items of macro inspection, surface flaw detection, non-destructive flaw detection, metallographic inspection, pipe diameter inspection, ovality measurement, hardness inspection, and wall thickness measurement, formulate and implement the offline inspection plan;

[0107] 7) Obtain offline detection status parameter results of the left high-pressure steam pipe and the right high-pressure steam pipe of the steam turbine, as shown below;

[0108]

[0109] 8) Perform condition assessment on the selected straight pipes, elbows and weld assessment points of the high-pressure steam pipe on the left side of the steam turbine and the high-pressure steam pipe on the right side of the steam turbine, as shown below:

[0110]

[0111] 9) Comprehensively consider the status assessment results of all assessment points and conduct status assessment on the assessment object.

[0112] The status assessment value of the left high-pressure upper cylinder steam pipe has reached the critical limit of 1.00, and it is recommended to replace it directly.

[0113] Although the right-side high-pressure upper cylinder steam pipe has not reached the critical limit, the evaluation points of the elbow and straight pipe welds are in poor condition and should be dealt with in a timely manner.

[0114]

[0115] 10) Finally, the status assessment results of the right high-pressure upper cylinder steam pipe are archived as feedback for the next assessment and used to calculate the correction factor. As the left high-pressure upper cylinder steam pipe is replaced with a new pipe, the calculation will be restarted at the next assessment without correction.
