Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hydropower generation, and in particular to a method for suppressing vibration during a turbine startup process based on MOPSO and stability tests. Background Art
[0002] In the context of a diversified and integrated power grid, ensuring the stability of a high-penetration renewable energy power system is crucial. Hydropower units are highly efficient, flexible, and provide inertia to the grid, making them an indispensable component of maintaining grid stability. Current research on optimizing hydropower unit patterns, both domestically and internationally, focuses primarily on unit operation optimization and load distribution, but has focused less on the transition process during the unit startup phase. The startup phase can be defined as the process from receiving the startup command to grid connection. Currently, turbine speed governor startup patterns typically include open-loop, closed-loop, and open-loop combined with closed-loop patterns. Parameter selection in open-loop patterns is often unreliable and difficult to accurately select. Closed-loop patterns overestimate the speed tracking performance of the unit, resulting in a prolonged speed ramp-up time. The open-loop combined with closed-loop pattern effectively combines the advantages of both open-loop and closed-loop startup, resulting in a fast, stable, and effective control process. Hydropower stations often employ an "open-loop + closed-loop" startup schedule and use empirical tuning to adjust startup schedule parameters. These optimizations fail to account for hydraulic and mechanical vibrations. This results in excessive unit vibration and reduced stability when the guide vane opening fluctuates significantly during startup. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on optimizing unit startup schedules while suppressing unit vibration.
[0003] Common optimization methods mainly target startup modes or startup parameters. Taking into account the actual optimization cost of the power station, the parameters that can be directly adjusted in the program can be optimized, and the parameters obtained after model optimization can be put into field tests. Through the model + test method, actual costs can be saved and optimization efficiency can be improved.
[0004] The "Method and System for Optimizing Parameters of a Hydroturbine Governor in a Weakly Damped Low-Frequency Oscillation Mode," published in Chinese patent literature and with publication number CN110377970A, discloses a method and system for optimizing parameters of a hydroturbine governor in a weakly damped low-frequency oscillation mode. The method includes: determining the weakly damped mode and its oscillation frequency associated with the unit to be optimized; establishing an open-loop transfer function for the hydroturbine and its regulating system, and calculating the damping torque coefficient of the open-loop transfer function of the hydroturbine and its regulating system at the oscillation frequency of the weakly damped oscillation mode; calculating the squared error integral of the mechanical power output of the hydroturbine and its regulating system under a step signal based on the open-loop transfer function of the hydroturbine and its regulating system; calculating the damping ratio corresponding to the maximum eigenvalue of the primary frequency regulation closed-loop system; establishing an objective function based on the calculated damping torque coefficient, squared error integral, and damping ratio; and employing a particle swarm algorithm to determine the optimal solution to the objective function, which serves as the optimal parameters for the hydroturbine governor. This invention improves system frequency stability while avoiding the deterioration of the weakly damped low-frequency oscillation mode and can be widely applied in the field of power system optimization. However, the invention does not involve any research on the optimization of the unit startup phase. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention solves the problem in the prior art of not considering hydraulic and mechanical vibration factors during the turbine startup process, and proposes a vibration suppression method for the turbine startup process based on MOPSO and stability testing. The present invention establishes a simulation model of the regulation system of the hydropower unit, takes the unit speed overshoot and the unit speed rise time as targets, uses a multi-objective particle swarm algorithm to optimize the startup law, obtains the Pareto optimal frontier, and selects the final optimal solution based on field tests and expert experience. The final optimal solution can reasonably avoid mechanical vibration during the unit startup process, reduce unit losses, and extend the unit life.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a method for suppressing vibration during the startup process of a hydraulic turbine based on MOPSO and stability test, comprising the following steps:
[0007] S1, establish the startup model of the Francis unit;
[0008] S2, obtain the objective function and decision variables for startup rule optimization;
[0009] S3, optimize the startup rules using optimization methods to obtain the Pareto optimal frontier;
[0010] S4, select multiple groups of solutions in the Pareto front to conduct field tests at the power station to obtain the vibration conditions of the hydraulic machinery;
[0011] S5, establish a comprehensive status evaluation system to determine the final optimal solution. The method of the present invention is based on the hydraulic layout of a certain power station. First, a startup model of the unit is established. Since the startup condition belongs to a large fluctuation transition process, a characteristic line method is used to establish a water diversion system model. The rotation speed and water pressure are comprehensively considered. The absolute value integral of the relative error of the unit speed and the absolute value integral of the relative error of the volute water pressure are used as the optimization objective function. In combination with the characteristics of multi-stage startup, the parameters to be optimized are selected. The startup rule is optimized based on a multi-objective particle swarm algorithm to obtain the Pareto optimal frontier. Several groups of solutions are selected for field testing to obtain the mechanical vibration, swing and pressure pulsation of unit components such as the frame, guide bearings and tailwater pipes. A comprehensive state evaluation system is formed based on expert experience and information fusion to evaluate the unit stability corresponding to each group of optimized parameters. The group of parameters with the best evaluation results is selected as the final value of the parameters for optimizing the startup rule of the turbine under the corresponding water head. The present invention uses a multi-objective optimization algorithm to obtain a set of optimal solutions for the startup rule. In combination with the comprehensive state evaluation system, the influence of hydraulic-mechanical vibration is fully considered. This can not only improve the dynamic performance of the system, but also effectively suppress the hydraulic-mechanical vibration during the startup process and improve the smoothness of the unit transition.
[0012] Preferably, step S2 includes the following steps:
[0013] S21, select the absolute integral of the relative error of the speed of the unit and the absolute integral of the relative error of the volute water pressure as two objective functions. The specific objective functions are:
[0014]
[0015]
[0016] Where k is the total number of samples, n(i) represents the real-time speed value corresponding to the sampling process, n(∞) represents the stable value of the unit speed, Hvol(i) is the real-time value of the volute water pressure during the sampling process, and Hvol_average is the average value of the volute water pressure during the sampling process. The first objective J1 of the objective function is to minimize the absolute integral of the relative error of the unit speed, and the second objective J2 is to minimize the absolute integral of the relative error of the volute water pressure;
[0017] The constraints are:
[0018]
[0019] Where, t a is the adjustment time, T u is the upper limit of the adjustment time, θ l is the lower limit of the decision variable, θ u is the upper limit of the decision variable;
[0020] S22, obtain the decision variable, the decision variable θ is expressed as:
[0021] θ=(K p , K i , K d , Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, t1, t2, t3)
[0022] Where K p , K i , K d These correspond to the three parameters in the proportional, integral, and differential phases of the unit's PID controller. Y1 and t1 are the maximum guide vane opening of the first stage and the time it takes for the guide vane to reach its maximum opening in the first stage, respectively. Y2 and t2 are the maximum guide vane opening of the second stage and the time it takes for the guide vane to reach its maximum opening in the second stage, respectively. t3 is the time it takes for the guide vane to close after opening. Y3 and t4 are the guide vane opening when the PID controller is activated and the time it takes for the guide vane to activate PID control, respectively. Y4 is the stable guide vane opening after the unit's smooth transition. In the present invention, the two objective functions are the absolute integral of the relative error in the unit's speed and the absolute integral of the relative error in the volute water pressure. These objective functions are optimized under the constraints of time and decision variables.
[0023] As a preferred embodiment, the step S4 is to select multiple solutions in the Pareto front to conduct field tests in the power station to obtain the vibration, swing and pressure pulsation of the turbine components such as the upper and lower frames, guide bearings, and tailwater pipes. The Pareto front θ selected by the test is max,n It can be expressed as:
[0024] θ max,n =(K p,n , K i,n , K d,n , Y 1,n , Y 2,n , Y 3,n , Y 4,n , t 1,n , t 2,n , t 3,n )
[0025] n=1,2,...,N
[0026] N≤M
[0027] Where n corresponds to the optimal solution in the Pareto frontier selected, N is the number of optimal solutions selected in the experiment, and M is the number of optimal solutions in the Pareto frontier;
[0028] The stability state data set can be expressed as:
[0029] O n =(O n,1, O n,2 ,...,O n,q ,...,O n,Q )
[0030] Where, O n represents θ max,n The optimal solution corresponds to a set of hydraulic machinery vibrations, where Q represents the total number of measured points in the unit, q = 1, 2, ..., and Q corresponds to different measured points. In the present invention, several Pareto optimal front solutions are selected for field testing, ultimately forming a stability state dataset with a one-to-one correspondence between the Pareto front and the hydraulic machinery vibrations.
[0031] Preferably, step S5 specifically includes establishing a comprehensive state evaluation system based on the degradation index and expert experience to screen the Pareto front and determine the final optimal solution. When describing the evaluation system, the vibration, swing, and pressure pulsation values of each measuring point are the values of each index;
[0032] Substituting each indicator value into the degradation degree formula, it becomes a degradation degree value that describes the degree of quality of the indicator:
[0033]
[0034] Where, β n,q is the qth index value corresponding to the nth group of Pareto front solutions, is the normalized value, β0 is the good value of the indicator, β max is the limit value of the indicator;
[0035] The weight value M of each indicator is given based on expert experience:
[0036] M=(M1,M2,...,M q ,...,M Q )
[0037]
[0038] Where M q is the weight value corresponding to the qth indicator, and the sum of the weight values of Q indicators is 1;
[0039] Calculate the comprehensive state evaluation value F of each group of Pareto solutions n,q :
[0040]
[0041] F=min(F 1,q , F 2,q ,...,F n,q )
[0042] The solution corresponding to F is the final solution obtained from the stability test. In the present invention, a comprehensive state evaluation system is formed based on expert experience and information fusion methods, an index evaluation model for vibration, swing, and pressure pulsation data sets is established, and the hierarchical analysis method is combined to evaluate the unit startup stability, and the optimal solution is selected. The corresponding variable parameters are the final values of the parameters for optimizing the startup rules of the turbine under the corresponding water head. In addition, the test water head is different, and the weights of each indicator given based on expert experience are different. Considering the corresponding changes in the dominant indicators of hydraulic machinery vibration, the optimal solution of the parameters also changes accordingly, which helps to increase the flexibility and breadth of startup parameter optimization.
[0043] Preferably, the optimization method is a multi-objective particle swarm algorithm, which utilizes the concept of Pareto dominance to find solutions to multi-objective problems. In the present invention, based on the multi-objective particle swarm algorithm, the objective function for optimizing the startup pattern is optimized for the speed governor parameters and the guide vane opening pattern parameters to obtain a Pareto optimal frontier.
[0044] Preferably, the startup model of the Francis turbine includes a water diversion system model and boundary conditions, wherein the boundary conditions include the Francis turbine, generator, speed regulator, and reservoir. In the present invention, the Francis turbine utilizes a comprehensive characteristic curve to determine the turbine's torque and flow rate, and the generator equation is a first-order differential equation. The speed regulator comprises a parallel PID controller and an actuator, and the reservoir boundary conditions are constructed by combining known conditions and characteristic line equations.
[0045] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0046] 1. The water diversion head of the present invention completes the optimization research on the startup rules of hydropower units for mechanical vibration suppression, effectively suppresses vibration, swing, and pressure pulsation, and improves the unit's grid connection speed and startup performance;
[0047] 2. This invention establishes a high-precision simulation model of the power plant unit speed regulation system based on the characteristic line method, providing a model foundation for the study of the unit speed governor control method and transition process. Through simulation, the number of real-machine tests during the transition process can be minimized. 3. This invention adopts a method that combines modeling and testing to ensure the rapid grid connection of hydropower units and the performance of the units during startup, thereby increasing economic benefits and helping to enhance the innovation capabilities of hydropower stations in the power generation industry.
[0048] 4. The optimization research results of the present invention can extend the life of the unit, ensure the economic benefits of the power station, and reduce the mechanical vibration during the startup process, which can reduce the wear of the unit to a certain extent, extend the life of the unit, and ensure the economic benefits of the power station to a certain extent.

The subscripts min and max are the lower and upper limits of each parameter, respectively.
[0108] (2) Decision variables, reference Figure 5 The startup rule is "multi-stage guide vane direct opening + PID control". The guide vane first opens to a certain opening at a certain speed, then opens to another opening at a smaller speed. After maintaining this opening for a period of time, the guide vane is closed at a certain speed until PID control is put into operation.

The process is as follows: Figure 6 As shown,
[0113] The solution process of the multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is as follows:

[0118] S5: Evaluate the fitness function values of all particles and update the optimal position P of the individual particles best and the global optimal position G best ;
[0119] S6: Update the external archive set, insert the non-dominated solution into the external archive set, and remove the dominated solution from the external archive set;
[0120] S7: Use the formula to calculate the latest velocity v(k+1) and the latest position θ(k+1) of each particle,
[0121] v(k+1)=ωv(k)+c1r1(P best (k)-θ(k))+c2r2(G best (k)-θ(k))

[0124] S8: Determine whether the maximum number of iterations has been reached. If so, terminate the process and output the Pareto front.
[0125] Step 4: Randomly select several Pareto front solutions and conduct field experiments in the power station to obtain the vibration, swing and pressure pulsation data sets of the upper and lower frames, guide bearings, tailwater pipes and other unit components under different test conditions (decision variables). The locations of some measurement points are as follows: Figure 7 As shown, a stable state data set with one-to-one correspondence between Pareto front and hydraulic machinery vibration is formed;
[0126] The Pareto front selected is:
[0127] θ max,n =(K p,n, K i,n , K d,n , Y 1,n , Y 2,n , Y 3,n , Y 4,n , t 1,n , t 2,n , t 3,n )

The stability state data set with a one-to-one correspondence between the Pareto front and the hydraulic machinery vibration is listed. Please refer to the table below for details.
[0134]
[0135]
[0136] Step 5: Create a comprehensive status evaluation system to obtain the final optimal solution
[0137] Specifically, a comprehensive condition evaluation system is created using patent experience and degradation indexes, and the optimal solution is determined by screening the Pareto front. When describing the evaluation system, the vibration, swing, and pressure pulsation values of the measuring point are the values of each index. Substituting the values of each index into the degradation formula:
[0138]
[0139] Among them, β n,q represents the qth index value corresponding to the nth group of Pareto front solutions, represents the normalized value, β0 represents the good value of the indicator, β max Indicates the limit value of the indicator;
[0140] The weight of each indicator is given by expert experience:
[0141] M=(M1,M2,...,M q ,...,M Q )
[0142]
[0143] Among them, M q Indicates the weight value corresponding to the qth indicator, and the sum of the weight values of Q indicators is 1;
[0144] Get the comprehensive status evaluation value of each group of Pareto solutions:
[0145]
[0146] F=min(F 1,q , F 2,q ,...,F n,q )
[0147] The solution of F is the final solution obtained from the stability test.
[0148] The test water heads are different, and the weights of various indicators given based on expert experience are different. Considering the corresponding changes in the dominant indicators of hydraulic machinery vibration, the optimal solution of the parameters will also change accordingly. The combination of subjective and objective methods of "model + test" increases the flexibility and breadth of startup parameter optimization.
