Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a steam turbine low-pressure exhaust cylinder structure, in particular to a steam turbine low-pressure exhaust cylinder structure optimization method based on last-stage blade parameters. Background Art

[0002] The main task of the low-pressure exhaust cylinder of the steam turbine is to organize and guide the axial exhaust (with a certain radial deviation angle) of the last-stage blades of the flow-through part to the condenser.

[0003] If the low-pressure exhaust cylinder is designed properly, the residual velocity loss of the last stage can be partially recovered, so that the work capacity of the last-stage blades can be improved, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire unit; if the low-pressure exhaust cylinder is designed poorly, when the last-stage exhaust steam reaches the condenser inlet through a long and tortuous path, not only will the residual velocity kinetic energy be completely lost, but also a part of the pressure energy of the last-stage exhaust steam will be lost, which makes the pressure at the outlet of the last-stage moving blades higher than the condenser back pressure, resulting in reduced work done by the last stage and reduced unit efficiency.

[0004] In the past few decades, the academic community has conducted in-depth research on the optimization methods of turbine blade design, and the blade efficiency has reached an extremely high level, but there is little research on the exhaust cylinder, which is considered to be one of the components with the most potential for improving unit efficiency in the current flow structure.

[0005] The internal flow of the low-pressure exhaust cylinder is extremely complex. It is extremely difficult to theoretically estimate its performance and design a high-performance exhaust cylinder. In the past, the design of the low-pressure exhaust cylinder of a steam turbine mainly carried out blowing tests and numerical calculations on the individual low-pressure exhaust cylinders, and improved the local dimensions of the low-pressure exhaust cylinders to improve their aerodynamic performance. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to propose a method for optimizing the low-pressure exhaust cylinder structure of a steam turbine based on the parameters of the last-stage blades in order to solve the problem in the prior art that the pressure at the outlet of the last-stage moving blades is higher than the back pressure of the condenser, resulting in reduced work done in the last stage and reduced efficiency of the unit.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is:

[0008] A method for optimizing the structure of a low-pressure exhaust cylinder of a steam turbine based on last-stage blade parameters comprises the following steps:

[0009] Step 1: Establish a geometric model of a low-pressure exhaust cylinder of a steam turbine, and obtain parameters characterizing the geometric dimensions of the exhaust cylinder according to the established geometric model of the low-pressure exhaust cylinder of the steam turbine;

[0010] Step 2: Determine the average diameter D and height L of the last-stage blade according to the flow design, and then perform dimensionless processing on the parameters characterizing the geometric dimensions of the exhaust cylinder based on the average diameter D and height L of the last-stage blade to obtain a parameterized low-pressure exhaust cylinder model;

[0011] Step 3: Calculate the parameterized low-pressure exhaust cylinder model using the automatic optimization platform to obtain the angle parameters and dimensionless length parameters of the low-pressure exhaust cylinder with the best performance within the parameter range;

[0012] Step 4: Model the exhaust cylinder structure based on the average diameter D and height L of the last-stage blades as well as the optimal angle parameters and dimensionless length parameters.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] (1) It breaks through the limitations of the individual design of the low-pressure exhaust cylinder and has wide applicability.

[0015] In the past, the design of low-pressure exhaust cylinders of steam turbines mainly focused on the exhaust cylinders themselves. Wind blowing tests or numerical calculations were carried out under certain structures. Based on the calculation or test results, local adjustments were made to the exhaust cylinder structure. This process was repeated to obtain the final design structure.

[0016] This application non-dimensionalizes the structural parameters of the low-pressure exhaust cylinder based on the dimensional parameters of the average diameter D and blade height L of the last-stage blades, and through research summary and numerical calculation, gives the dimensionless structural parameter design range of the low-pressure exhaust cylinder with good aerodynamic performance. The preliminary structural parameters of the low-pressure exhaust cylinder can be determined according to the restrictive conditions.

[0017] The present application is not limited by the individual exhaust cylinders and is applicable to the structural design of low-pressure cylinders of steam turbines with various power levels and various exhaust parameters. Once the parameters of the last-stage blades are determined, the structural design of the low-pressure exhaust cylinder can be completed, which has wide applicability.

[0018] (2) Introduce the low-pressure exhaust cylinder structure optimization method to shorten the low-pressure exhaust cylinder design cycle.

[0019] This application is used to build a parametric optimization platform for the low-pressure exhaust cylinder. The static pressure recovery coefficient is used as the evaluation standard to automatically optimize the preliminary structural parameters of the low-pressure exhaust cylinder. The dimensionless structural parameters of the low-pressure exhaust cylinder corresponding to the optimal aerodynamic performance can be obtained, which effectively avoids the blindness and randomness of "calculation (or test)-structural adjustment-recalculation (or test)", and greatly shortens the design cycle of the low-pressure exhaust cylinder.

[0020] (III) Effectively improve unit efficiency and reduce unit heat consumption.

[0021] This application can find the structural parameters of the low-pressure exhaust cylinder with the best aerodynamic performance under the existing constraints, thereby significantly improving the unit efficiency, reducing the unit heat consumption or increasing the unit output power. This application solves the problem that the pressure at the outlet of the last stage moving blade is higher than the condenser back pressure, resulting in a reduction in the work done at the last stage and a reduction in the unit efficiency.

[0056] From a structural perspective, the low-pressure exhaust cylinder has two main structural components, namely the guide ring and the cylinder body. The guide ring and the guide cone on the cylinder body form a diffuser, which is used to recover the residual kinetic energy and convert it into the pressure energy of the exhaust steam; the diffuser outlet in the cylinder body to the cylinder body outlet forms a volute, which realizes a 90° turn of the airflow.

[0075] The present invention establishes a geometric model of a low-pressure exhaust cylinder of a steam turbine through the 15-parameter method, including 11 length variables and 4 angle variables.

[0076] W2. Based on the mid-diameter D and blade height L of the last-stage blade, the parameters characterizing the geometric dimensions of the exhaust cylinder are dimensionlessly processed to obtain a parameterized low-pressure exhaust cylinder model.

[0077] The median diameter D and blade height L are selected as characteristic variables, and the remaining length variables expressing the low-pressure exhaust cylinder are dimensionlessly processed to obtain the following dimensionless parameters of the low-pressure exhaust cylinder:

[0079] (2) Cylinder width factor P2 = W C / D;

[0080] (3) Cylinder upper half height factor P3 = H u / D;

[0081] (4) Cylinder lower half height factor P4 = H a / D;

[0082] (5) Cylinder wall thickness factor P5 = T C / L;

[0083] (6) Cylinder guide cone turning radius factor P6 = R N / D;

[0084] (7) Guide ring turning radius factor P7 = R K / D;

[0085] (8) The axial length factor of the guide ring P8 = L K / L;

[0086] (9) Cylinder wall thickness factor P9 = T K / L;

[0087] After the turbine flow design determines the mid-diameter D and blade height L of the last-stage blade, the parameterized low-pressure exhaust cylinder model can be obtained by giving the above-mentioned 9 dimensionless length parameters and 4 angle parameters.

[0088] The steam turbine low-pressure cylinder structural design proposed by the present invention is applicable to various power levels and various exhaust parameters. Once the parameter size of the last-stage blade is determined, the preliminary structural design of the low-pressure exhaust cylinder can be completed, and it has wide applicability.

[0089] Taking the ultra-supercritical 660MW steam turbine unit of Harbin Steam Turbine Company as an example, the middle diameter of the last stage blade D = 2768mm, the blade height L = 1040mm, and the following dimensionless factors are given:

[0108] The optimization module adopts a combined optimization strategy of orthogonal experiment and response surface approximation model. The optimization process is as follows:

[0109] (1) Within a given parameter range, the orthogonal test method is used to scan the design space and obtain a design parameter sample library;

[0110] (2) Use the CFD module to calculate the sample library and obtain the performance evaluation parameters under each sample parameter;
