Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of thermal power engineering, and in particular relates to a method for distinguishing the power of a gas turbine and a steam turbine of a single-shaft combined cycle unit. Background Art

[0002] Gas-steam combined cycle units (referred to as combined cycle units) have the characteristics and advantages of clean and low carbon, flexible operation and fuel diversity. They are one of the indispensable and important power generation methods for building a new power system with new energy as the main body. The key host equipment of the combined cycle unit is usually composed of gas turbines, steam turbines, generators, waste heat boilers, etc. According to the different shaft system arrangements, the combined cycle unit is usually divided into single-shaft combined cycle units and split-shaft combined cycle units, among which: the gas turbine, steam turbine, and generator of the single-shaft combined cycle unit are connected in series on the same shaft system, and the output power of the gas turbine and steam turbine is output by the same generator; the shaft system of the split-shaft combined cycle unit is independently composed of the gas turbine-generator shaft system and the steam turbine-generator shaft system, and the output power of the gas turbine and steam turbine is output by separate generators. Since the output power of the gas turbine and steam turbine of the single-shaft combined cycle unit is output by the same generator, it is impossible to measure the output power of the gas turbine and steam turbine separately, making it impossible for operating personnel to judge the operating performance and degradation of the gas turbine and steam turbine, which increases the difficulty and risk of operation management.

[0003] How to accurately distinguish the output power of gas turbines and steam turbines in single-shaft combined cycle units by calculation or estimation is one of the technical difficulties in operation and maintenance in the field of combined cycle power generation. There are generally two ways to distinguish the output power of gas turbines and steam turbines in single-shaft combined cycle units by calculation or estimation, among which: the first way is to first calculate the output power of the gas turbine, and then obtain the output power of the steam turbine by the difference between the total power of the combined cycle unit and the output power of the gas turbine; the second way is to first calculate and determine the output power of the steam turbine, and then obtain the output power of the gas turbine by the difference between the total power of the combined cycle unit and the output power of the steam turbine. Because the first way requires the establishment of a gas turbine performance calculation model before calculating the output power of the gas turbine, the performance characteristics of the components (compressor, turbine, combustion chamber) and the design parameters such as turbine cooling flow distribution that must be known to establish the gas turbine performance calculation model are strictly confidential by the gas turbine manufacturer and are difficult to obtain. Therefore, the process of establishing a gas turbine performance calculation model is complicated and the accuracy is difficult to guarantee. In view of this, in the absence of comprehensive data support from gas turbine manufacturers, the second method is a more feasible way for users to distinguish between the output power of gas turbines and steam turbines in single-shaft combined cycle units.

[0004] At present, there is no publicly published method for distinguishing the power of gas turbines and steam turbines in single-shaft combined cycle units that can be easily implemented by users and is relatively accurate and reliable without comprehensive data support from gas turbine manufacturers and without relying on foreign commercial software. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a method for distinguishing the power of a gas turbine and a steam turbine of a single-shaft combined cycle unit.

[0006] The present invention is achieved by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0007] A method for distinguishing the power of a gas turbine and a steam turbine of a single-shaft combined cycle unit comprises the following steps:

[0008] S1. According to the steam turbine design thermal parameters of the combined cycle unit, a functional relationship between the design efficiency of the steam turbine low-pressure cylinder and the thermal design parameters related to the low-pressure cylinder is obtained by fitting;

[0009] S2. According to the design thermal parameters of the steam turbine of the combined cycle unit, a functional relationship between the design leakage of each cylinder of the steam turbine and the thermal design parameters related to each cylinder is obtained by fitting;

[0010] S3. According to the design parameters of the combined cycle unit generator, a functional relationship between the generator efficiency and the relevant design and operation parameters of the generator is obtained by fitting;

[0011] S4. Calculate the low-pressure cylinder efficiency of the steam turbine under actual operating conditions based on the measured parameters of the combined cycle unit;

[0012] S5. Calculate the actual enthalpy drop power of each cylinder of the steam turbine based on the measured parameters of the combined cycle unit;

[0013] S6. The actual power generation of the steam turbine is calculated by multiplying the sum of the actual enthalpy drop power of each cylinder of the steam turbine by the product of the mechanical efficiency and the generator efficiency;

[0014] S7. Subtract the total power generation of the combined cycle unit from the power of the steam turbine generator to obtain the actual power generation of the gas turbine.

[0015] A further improvement of the present invention is that the steam turbine type of the combined cycle unit is high, medium and low pressure separate cylinders or high and medium pressure combined cylinder and low pressure separate cylinder.

[0016] A further improvement of the present invention is that in the steps S1, S2 and S3:

[0023] A further improvement of the present invention is that in step S2:

[0024] The leakage of each cylinder of the steam turbine should be determined according to the actual structure of the steam turbine. The leakage includes the leakage of the front and rear shaft seals of the cylinder and the leakage of the steam inlet valve stem. The relevant thermal design parameters of each cylinder select the steam inlet pressure of each cylinder. The typical function form of leakage and steam inlet pressure is as follows:

[0025] G LEA0 =g(P IN 0 )

[0026] Where: G LEA0 Design value for a leakage flow; P IN 0 is the design value of the inlet steam pressure of the cylinder involved in a certain leakage flow; g is a functional relationship.

[0027] A further improvement of the present invention is that in step S3:

[0028] The generator related design and operation parameters are selected as the generator active power and power factor; the typical function form of generator efficiency and generator active power and power factor is as follows:

[0029] EFF GEN0 =h(POW 0 ,PF 0 )

[0030] Where: EFF GEN0 is the design value of generator efficiency, POW 0 is the design value of the generator active power, PF 0 is the design value of generator power factor.

[0031] A further improvement of the present invention is that in step S4:

[0032] The low-pressure cylinder efficiency of the steam turbine under actual operating conditions is calculated according to the functional relationship between the low-pressure cylinder efficiency of the steam turbine and the low-pressure cylinder pressure ratio obtained by fitting in step S1. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0034]

[0035] Where: EFF LP is the calculated actual efficiency of the low-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine; π LP is the actual pressure ratio of the low-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine; is the actual outlet pressure of the low-pressure cylinder, It is the actual inlet pressure of the low-pressure cylinder.

[0036] A further improvement of the present invention is that in step S5:

[0037] The actual enthalpy drop power of each cylinder of the turbine is calculated according to the following formula:

[0038]

[0039]

[0040]

[0041]

[0042] Where: POW ST,ENTHALPY is the enthalpy drop power of the steam turbine;

[0043] G HP , G MP , G LP It is the measured value of steam flow at the inlet of high, medium and low pressure cylinders of the steam turbine;

[0044] G HP,LEA , G MP,LEA , G LP,LEA It is the steam flow rate flowing out or in of the high, medium and low pressure cylinders of the steam turbine due to system leakage. The flow rate flowing into the cylinder is positive, and the flow rate out of the cylinder is negative.

[0047] is the actual outlet enthalpy of the high and medium pressure cylinders of the steam turbine;

[0048] It is the actual isentropic enthalpy value at the outlet of the low-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine.

[0049] The present invention has at least the following beneficial technical effects:

[0056] Where: EFF LP0 Design isentropic efficiency for the low pressure cylinder; π LP0 Design the pressure ratio for the low-pressure cylinder;

[0057] S2 According to the turbine structure type and design thermal parameters of a single-shaft F-class combined cycle unit, the main steam leakage of the turbine is divided into two parts.
