Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of heat supply in the power generation industry, and relates to a protection system and a parameter adjustment method applicable to the adjustment of a medium-pressure regulating valve in a thermal power plant to improve heat supply parameters. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the soaring coal prices in recent years, the power generation cost of the thermal power industry has been increasing continuously, and the power generation business has become increasingly difficult, facing an extremely severe operating situation. By means of heat supply transformation, thermal power plants supplying heat to surrounding cities or supplying industrial extraction steam to enterprises have become an important means to increase revenue.

[0003] Generally, the pressure requirement for industrial extraction steam is relatively high. Steam is supplied from the hot reheat pipeline, cold reheat pipeline or the first-stage extraction of the unit. The parameters of these extraction ports are often low under low load, making it difficult to meet the demand for industrial extraction steam. In order to meet the requirements of industrial extraction steam parameters under low load, the medium-pressure regulating valve often needs to participate in the regulation to increase the external steam supply flow and pressure. However, the medium-pressure regulating valve was only designed to control the steam flow into the intermediate-pressure cylinder through the change of its opening during the unit startup stage, and was not considered for use during the normal operation of the unit and external steam supply. The operation mode of the medium-pressure regulating valve participating in the regulation and external heat supply is different from that of a pure condensing unit, which affects the safe operation of the unit. The heat supply method with the medium-pressure regulating valve participating in the regulation may cause an increase in the enthalpy drop of the last-stage blade of the high-pressure cylinder, vibration of the medium-pressure regulating valve and the risk of sudden closing of the medium-pressure regulating valve. At present, the protection system and method for the medium-pressure regulating valve participating in the regulation to improve heat supply are lacking, which affects the safe and stable operation of the heat supply unit. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the invention is to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art, and provide a protection system and a parameter adjustment method applicable to the adjustment of a medium-pressure regulating valve in a thermal power plant to improve heat supply parameters, which can ensure the safe and stable operation of the heat supply unit with the medium-pressure regulating valve participating in the regulation.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the protection system applicable to the adjustment of a medium-pressure regulating valve in a thermal power plant to improve heat supply parameters of the invention includes a main steam pipeline, a reheater steam pipeline, a high-pressure cylinder, an intermediate-pressure cylinder, a high-pressure main steam valve group, a high-pressure regulating valve group, a left intermediate-pressure main steam valve, a left intermediate-pressure regulating valve, a right intermediate-pressure main steam valve, a right intermediate-pressure regulating valve, a left reheater pipeline, a right reheater pipeline, a high-pressure cylinder exhaust pipeline, a first-stage extraction pipeline and a desuperheating and pressure-reducing device;

[0006] The main steam pipeline is connected to the inlet of the high-pressure cylinder through the high-pressure main steam valve group and the high-pressure regulating valve group. The exhaust port of the high-pressure cylinder is connected to the high-pressure cylinder exhaust pipeline, and the first-stage extraction port of the high-pressure cylinder is connected to the first-stage extraction pipeline;

[0007] The outlet of the reheater steam pipeline is divided into three paths. The first path is connected to the right inlet of the intermediate pressure cylinder through the right reheater pipeline. The second path is connected to the left inlet of the intermediate pressure cylinder through the left reheater pipeline. The third path is connected to the external heating users through the desuperheating and pressure reducing device.

[0008] The left reheater pipeline is provided with a left intermediate pressure main steam valve and a left intermediate pressure regulating valve. The right reheater pipeline is provided with a right intermediate pressure main steam valve and a right intermediate pressure regulating valve.

[0009] It also includes a differential pressure monitoring meter, which is connected to the high-pressure cylinder exhaust steam pipeline and the first-stage extraction steam pipeline.

[0010] It also includes a differential pressure monitoring meter for the left intermediate pressure combined steam valve, which is connected to the inlet and outlet of the left reheater pipeline.

[0011] It also includes a differential pressure monitoring meter for the right intermediate pressure combined steam valve, which is connected to the inlet and outlet of the right reheater pipeline.

[0012] The number of differential pressure monitoring meters is three.

[0013] The measuring ranges of the three differential pressure monitoring meters are all set to 5 MPa.

[0014] The measuring ranges of the differential pressure monitoring meter for the left intermediate pressure combined steam valve and the differential pressure monitoring meter for the right intermediate pressure combined steam valve are both 2 MPa.

[0015] The parameter adjustment method of the protection system applicable to the intermediate pressure regulating valve participating in regulating and improving the heating parameters in a thermal power plant according to the present invention includes the following steps:

[0016] When the measured values of two differential pressure monitoring meters exceed the higher value, an alarm is given, and the opening of the desuperheating and pressure reducing device is prohibited from continuing to increase.

[0017] When the measured values of two differential pressure monitoring meters exceed the second higher value, the high-pressure regulating valve group, the left intermediate pressure regulating valve, and the right intermediate pressure regulating valve are simultaneously closed, and the unit trips and shuts down.

[0018] The parameter adjustment methods of the left intermediate pressure regulating valve and the right intermediate pressure regulating valve are the same. The parameter adjustment method of the left intermediate pressure regulating valve is as follows:

[0019] When the differential pressure detected by the differential pressure monitoring meter for the left intermediate pressure combined steam valve is greater than the preset higher value, the left intermediate pressure regulating valve is prohibited from continuing to close.

[0020] When the exhaust steam temperature of the high-pressure cylinder approaches the alarm value, the left intermediate pressure regulating valve is prohibited from continuing to close.

[0021] When the thrust bearing temperature of the unit reaches the alarm value, the left intermediate pressure regulating valve is prohibited from continuing to close.

[0022] After both the left medium-pressure regulating valve and the right medium-pressure regulating valve are closed, the high-pressure regulating valve group is closed simultaneously, and a turbine trip signal is triggered.

[0023] The medium-pressure regulating valve adopts two parameter adjustment methods: single valve or sequence valve.

[0024] When the medium-pressure regulating valve adopts the sequence valve parameter adjustment method, the method is as follows:

[0025] Conduct valve flow characteristic tests on the left and right medium-pressure regulating valves respectively to determine the relationship between the opening and flow characteristics of the medium-pressure regulating valve;

[0026] Determine the medium-pressure regulating valve that is closed first, set the overlap according to the flow characteristic curve of the medium-pressure regulating valve, and set the minimum opening for the medium-pressure regulating valve that is closed later;

[0027] For the medium-pressure regulating valve that is closed first, when its opening is > 40%, the parameter adjustment step does not exceed 10%; when the opening is < 40%, the parameter adjustment step does not exceed 3%;

[0028] For the medium-pressure regulating valve that is closed later, its parameter adjustment step does not exceed 3%.

[0029] When the medium-pressure regulating valve adopts the single valve parameter adjustment method, the method is as follows:

[0030] The left and right medium-pressure regulating valves are adjusted simultaneously;

[0031] When the opening of the medium-pressure regulating valves on both sides is > 50%, the parameter adjustment step does not exceed 3%;

[0032] When 35% < the opening of the medium-pressure regulating valve ≤ 50%, the parameter adjustment step does not exceed 2%;

[0033] When the minimum opening < the opening of the medium-pressure regulating valve ≤ 35%, the parameter adjustment step does not exceed 1%;

[0034] Set the minimum opening for the medium-pressure regulating valves on both sides.

[0035] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0036] When the protection system and parameter adjustment method for the medium-pressure regulating valve to participate in regulating and improving the heating parameters in a thermal power plant described in the present invention are specifically operated, by setting the left medium-pressure regulating valve and the right medium-pressure regulating valve, and by adding the monitoring system and necessary logic protection necessary for the parameter adjustment of the left medium-pressure regulating valve and the right medium-pressure regulating valve, it is ensured that the unit operates safely and stably in the mode of the medium-pressure regulating valve participating in regulating heating.

[0041] Refer to Figure 1 , the protection system applicable to the intermediate regulating valve in a thermal power plant to participate in regulating and improving the heating parameters according to the present invention includes a high-pressure cylinder 1, an intermediate-pressure cylinder 2, a high-pressure main steam valve group 3, a high-pressure regulating valve group 4, a left intermediate-pressure main steam valve 5, a left intermediate-pressure regulating valve 6, a right intermediate-pressure main steam valve 7, a right intermediate-pressure regulating valve 8, a differential pressure monitoring meter 9, a differential pressure monitoring meter for the left intermediate-pressure combined steam valve 10, a differential pressure monitoring meter for the right intermediate-pressure combined steam valve 11, a left reheat pipeline 12, a right reheat pipeline 13, a high-pressure cylinder exhaust pipeline 14, a first-stage extraction steam pipeline 15, and a desuperheating and pressure-reducing device 16;

[0042] The main steam pipeline is connected to the inlet of the high-pressure cylinder 1 through the high-pressure main steam valve group 3 and the high-pressure regulating valve group 4. The exhaust port of the high-pressure cylinder 1 is connected to the high-pressure cylinder exhaust pipeline 14, and the first-stage extraction steam port of the high-pressure cylinder 1 is connected to the first-stage extraction steam pipeline 15;

[0043] The outlet of the reheater steam pipeline is divided into three paths. The first path is connected to the right inlet of the intermediate-pressure cylinder 2 through the right reheater pipeline 13. The second path is connected to the left inlet of the intermediate-pressure cylinder 2 through the left reheater pipeline 12. The third path is connected to the external heat supply users through the desuperheating and pressure-reducing device 16.

[0044] The left intermediate-pressure main steam valve 5 and the left intermediate-pressure regulating valve 6 are arranged on the left reheater pipeline 12. The right intermediate-pressure main steam valve 7 and the right intermediate-pressure regulating valve 8 are arranged on the right reheater pipeline 13.

[0046] The right intermediate-pressure combined steam valve differential pressure monitoring table 11 is connected to the inlet and outlet of the right reheater pipeline 13.

[0047] The number of the differential pressure monitoring tables 9 is three. Among them, the three differential pressure monitoring tables 9 work independently, and the measuring ranges of the differential pressure monitoring tables 9 are all set to 5 MPa.

[0048] The measuring ranges of the left intermediate-pressure combined steam valve differential pressure monitoring table 10 and the right intermediate-pressure combined steam valve differential pressure monitoring table 11 are both 2 MPa.

[0049] The left intermediate-pressure regulating valve 6 and the right intermediate-pressure regulating valve 8 participate in the regulation of heat supply in a single-valve mode. The regulation targets of the left intermediate-pressure regulating valve 6 and the right intermediate-pressure regulating valve 8 are the hot reheat pressure, ensuring that the hot reheat pressure reaches 2.5 MPa for industrial steam supply. The regulation methods of the left intermediate-pressure regulating valve 6 and the right intermediate-pressure regulating valve 8 are the same. Taking the left intermediate-pressure regulating valve 6 as an example, the specific process is as follows:

[0058] The maximum steam flow rate provided externally by the desuperheating and pressure-reducing device 16 is determined by the pressure difference between the newly added three extraction pressures and the high-pressure exhaust pressure, and the following protection logic is set:

[0059] For the three differential pressure monitoring gauges 9, the two-out-of-three principle is adopted;

[0060] When the measured values of two differential pressure monitoring gauges 9 exceed 3.9 MPa, an alarm is given, and it is prohibited to further increase the opening of the desuperheating and pressure-reducing device 16;

[0061] When the measured values of two differential pressure monitoring gauges 9 exceed 4.1 MPa, the high-pressure regulating valve group 4, the left medium-pressure regulating valve 6, and the right medium-pressure regulating valve 8 are simultaneously closed, and the unit trips.
