Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the cross - field of steam turbine technology, information technology and measurement technology in thermal power plants, and particularly relates to a soft - measurement method, system, device and medium for extraction steam flow rate for heating. Background Technique

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of new - energy power generation, in order to ensure the stability of the power system, higher requirements are put forward for the operation flexibility of thermal power units. More and more thermal power units have completed flexibility transformation, and the zero - output condition of the low - pressure cylinder has become one of the main operation modes of thermal power units during the heating season. Under the zero - output condition of the low - pressure cylinder, the extraction steam flow rate for heating is one of the important factors characterizing the overall operation economy of the unit and is also one of the important monitoring parameters to meet the requirements of heat users.

[0003] At present, the measurement forms of the heating steam flow rate and the existing defects include:

[0004] (1) Direct measurement is carried out through throttling devices. However, due to factors such as low pressure, large specific volume, low flow velocity of heating steam, and wide diameter of heating pipelines, the measurement error of the throttling device is large, and it is difficult to ensure accuracy; in some cases, due to the unreasonable layout of heating steam pipelines, the installation conditions of throttling devices are not met, and direct measurement cannot be carried out.

[0005] (2) Indirectly calculate the heating steam flow rate through the heat absorption of the water side of the heat - network heat exchanger. However, since the distance from the steam extraction port of the steam turbine to the heat - network heat exchanger is long, the delay of the calculation result is large, and it is difficult to effectively guide the operation of the steam turbine.

[0006] (3) Calculate the heating steam flow rate through the heat balance and flow balance of the steam turbine thermal system. However, this method is only applicable to steady - state operation conditions, and most actual operation conditions do not meet this requirement.

The method comprises three parts.

[0048] The following further describes the present invention in detail with reference to the drawings:

[0049] A method for soft measurement of heating extraction steam flow in an embodiment of the present invention is used for measuring the heating extraction steam flow during the zero output operation of the low-pressure cylinder of a steam turbine, and includes the following steps:

[0050] During the zero output operation of the low-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine, obtain the steam flow passing through the last stage of the intermediate-pressure cylinder; obtain the cooling steam flow of the low-pressure cylinder; obtain the inlet steam flow of the low-pressure heater connected to the exhaust of the intermediate-pressure cylinder;

[0051] Calculate to obtain the heating extraction steam flow, and the calculation expression is, G = G0 - G h -G LPC ; where G is the heating extraction steam flow, G0 is the steam flow passing through the last stage of the intermediate-pressure cylinder, G LPC is the cooling steam flow of the low-pressure cylinder, G h is the inlet steam flow of the low-pressure heater connected to the exhaust of the intermediate-pressure cylinder; the time stamps of G, G0, G LPC and G h are consistent;

[0052] Among them, the step of obtaining the inlet steam flow of the low-pressure heater connected to the exhaust of the intermediate-pressure cylinder includes: during the zero output operation of the low-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine, based on the pre-obtained time compensation amount, collect the inlet water temperature, inlet water flow, inlet steam pressure, inlet steam temperature, drain temperature, water level and outlet water temperature of the low-pressure heater connected to the exhaust of the intermediate-pressure cylinder; use the pre-trained inlet steam flow prediction model of the heater to obtain the inlet steam flow of the low-pressure heater connected to the exhaust of the intermediate-pressure cylinder.

[0053] The method for soft measurement of heating extraction steam flow provided by the embodiment of the present invention is specifically a method for soft measurement of heating extraction steam flow during the zero output operation of the low-pressure cylinder of a steam turbine. Through the measurement data of other measuring points, the heating steam flow can be indirectly calculated, and it can meet both steady-state and variable load conditions at the same time.

[0054] Please refer toFigure 1 , a soft measurement method for the heating extraction steam flow rate during the zero output operation of the low-pressure cylinder of a steam turbine according to an embodiment of the present invention, the implementation steps are as follows:

[0055] (1) Calculate the steam flow rate G0 passing through the last stage of the intermediate pressure cylinder, with the unit of kg / s. In the formula, F

[0056] is the reference characteristic flow area of this stage, with the unit of m ν ; ν0 is the specific volume of steam at the inlet of this stage, with the unit of m 2 / kg, which is calculated by the IAPWS-IF97 formula based on the steam pressure and temperature at the inlet of the stage; p0 is the steam pressure at the inlet of this stage, with the unit of Pa, which is directly obtained through the measuring point; π is the ratio of the steam pressure after this stage to the steam pressure before the stage. 3 Specifically and explanatorily, the stage refers to the flow part between any two adjacent extraction ports (including the inlet port and the exhaust port) from the steam inlet of the steam turbine to the exhaust port.

[0057] Specifically and explanatorily, F

[0058] can be calculated and obtained through the data in the steam turbine thermal characteristics book or the performance test data. In the steam turbine heat balance diagram, the inlet and outlet pressures, temperatures, and the flow rate of each stage of the steam turbine can be obtained, so as to calculate the reference characteristic flow area of this stage; in the steam turbine performance test data, the flow rate of the last stage of the intermediate pressure cylinder can be obtained by subtracting the extraction flow rates of each extraction port of the intermediate pressure cylinder from the inlet flow rate of the intermediate pressure cylinder. Combining the inlet and outlet pressures and temperatures of the last stage, the reference characteristic flow area of this stage can be calculated. ν Specifically and explanatorily, F can be calculated and obtained through the data in the steam turbine thermal characteristics book or the performance test data. In the steam turbine heat balance diagram, the inlet and outlet pressures, temperatures, and the flow rate of each stage of the steam turbine can be obtained, so as to calculate the reference characteristic flow area of this stage; in the steam turbine performance test data, the flow rate of the last stage of the intermediate pressure cylinder can be obtained by subtracting the extraction flow rates of each extraction port of the intermediate pressure cylinder from the inlet flow rate of the intermediate pressure cylinder. Combining the inlet and outlet pressures and temperatures of the last stage, the reference characteristic flow area of this stage can be calculated.

[0059] (2) For the low-pressure heaters connected to the exhaust of the intermediate pressure cylinder, align the real-time acquisition data of the inlet water temperature, inlet water flow rate, inlet steam pressure, inlet steam temperature, drain temperature, water level, and outlet water temperature of the heater according to the time compensation amount of each parameter.

[0060] Specifically and explanatorily, generally, part of the steam from the exhaust of the intermediate pressure cylinder enters the low-pressure heater. The flow path of water or steam in the heater is relatively long, and there is a certain time delay in the change of the inlet parameters being reflected in the change of the outlet parameters. Therefore, it is necessary to align each parameter through the time compensation amount.

[0061] Assume that the time compensation amount of the inlet steam pressure for the outlet water temperature of the heater is -5 seconds, which means that after the change of the inlet steam pressure of the heater, it takes about 5 seconds for the change to be conducted to the change of the outlet water temperature of the heater. Then, the outlet water temperature of the heater at time T needs to be aligned with the inlet steam pressure of the heater at time T - 5 seconds.

[0062] (3) Normalize the time-aligned data and input it into the heater steam inlet flow prediction model. Denormalize the model output to obtain the real-time heater steam inlet flow rate G. h , G h is consistent with the timestamps of the steam inlet pressure, steam inlet temperature, and water level in the input data.

[0063] (4) Calculate the heating steam extraction flow rate G after cylinder splitting through G = G0 - G h - G LPC , where G LPC is the low-pressure cylinder cooling steam flow rate, measured by the flowmeter installed in the cooling steam bypass under the zero-output condition of the low-pressure cylinder; during calculation, G, G0, and G LPC must be consistent with the timestamp of G h .

[0064] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 , which shows the conventional layout after the zero-output transformation of the low-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine. When the steam turbine operates under the zero-output condition of the low-pressure cylinder, the butterfly valve of the medium-low pressure connecting pipe is completely closed, and the exhaust steam flow rate of the medium-pressure cylinder is divided into three parts: one part goes to the heater, one part goes to the heating pipeline, and one part goes to the low-pressure cylinder through the cooling steam bypass as cooling steam; therefore, by subtracting the flow rate to the heater and the cooling steam flow rate from the exhaust steam flow rate of the medium-pressure cylinder, the heating steam extraction flow rate can be obtained.

[0065] The time compensation amounts of the above parameters are calculated in advance before establishing the heater steam inlet flow model, and the method is as follows: calculate the Pearson correlation coefficients between the outlet water temperature of the heater and the inlet water temperature, inlet water flow rate, steam inlet pressure, steam inlet temperature, and drain temperature of the low-pressure heater connected to the exhaust steam of the medium-pressure cylinder at different delay times within one average heat exchange cycle time of the heater respectively. The delay time corresponding to the maximum Pearson correlation coefficient is used as the time compensation amount of this parameter relative to the outlet water temperature of the heater. Take the larger value of the time compensation amounts corresponding to the inlet water temperature and inlet water flow rate of the heater as their common time compensation amount; take the larger value of the time compensation amounts corresponding to the steam inlet pressure and steam inlet temperature as their common time compensation amount; the time compensation amounts of the water level are the same as those of the steam inlet pressure and steam inlet temperature. Since the time compensation amount is calculated based on the outlet water temperature of the heater, the time compensation amount of the outlet water temperature of the heater is 0, as shown in Table 1 specifically.

[0066] Table 1. Time Compensation Amount of Heater Outlet Water Temperature

[0067] Serial number Parameter Time compensation amount 1 Heater inlet water temperature <![CDATA[T1]]> 2 Heater inlet water flow rate <![CDATA[T1]]> 3 Heater inlet steam pressure <![CDATA[T2]]> 4 Heater inlet steam temperature <![CDATA[T2]]> 5 Heater drain temperature <![CDATA[T3]]> 6 Heater water level <![CDATA[T2]]> 7 Heater outlet water temperature 0

[0068] The following takes the time compensation amount of the inlet steam pressure of the heater for the outlet water temperature as an example to illustrate the calculation process. Assume that the average heat exchange cycle of the heater is 20 seconds, and the data acquisition cycle is 1 second. When the delay time takes each integer value between [-20, 20], the Pearson correlation coefficient between the acquired data sequence of the heater outlet water temperature (with a length of 20 seconds) and the acquired data sequence of the heater inlet steam pressure (with a length of 20 seconds and considering the delay time) is calculated respectively. The delay time corresponding to the maximum Pearson correlation coefficient is the time compensation amount of the heater inlet steam pressure relative to the outlet water temperature.

[0069] Specifically exemplary in the embodiments of the present invention, the steps for constructing the inlet steam flow prediction model of the heater are as follows:

[0070] (1) Obtain the historical monitoring data of the inlet water temperature, inlet water flow, inlet steam pressure, inlet steam temperature, water level, drain temperature, outlet water temperature, steam pressure at the inlet of the last stage of the intermediate pressure cylinder, steam temperature at the inlet of the last stage of the intermediate pressure cylinder, exhaust steam pressure of the intermediate pressure cylinder, inlet steam pressure of the low pressure cylinder, inlet steam temperature of the low pressure cylinder, and steam pressure at the outlet of the first stage of the low pressure cylinder of the low pressure heater connected to the exhaust steam of the intermediate pressure cylinder during a predetermined time under non-heating conditions.

[0071] (2) Respectively calculate the steam flow rate G passing through the last stage of the intermediate pressure cylinder corresponding to each group of data, and respectively calculate the steam flow rate G M passing through the first stage of the low pressure cylinder corresponding to each group of data. Before calculating G and G L , the respective F M and F L corresponding to these two stages need to be pre-calculated through the data in the steam turbine thermal characteristics book or the performance test data. ν

[0072] (3) Calculate the flow rate G c of the exhaust steam of the intermediate pressure cylinder going to the heater = G M - G L .

[0073] (4) Align the historical monitoring data of the heater inlet water temperature, inlet water flow, inlet steam pressure, inlet steam temperature, water level, drain temperature, outlet water temperature, and inlet steam flow, or the data obtained from the calculations in (2) and (3) above, according to the time compensation amount of each parameter. The time compensation amounts of the inlet steam flow, inlet steam pressure, inlet steam temperature, and water level are the same.

[0074] (5) Use the heater inlet water temperature, inlet water flow, inlet steam pressure, inlet steam temperature, water level, drain temperature, and outlet water temperature as input parameters, and the inlet steam flow as the output parameter. Use the time-aligned historical data as training data to train the GRU neural network model.

[0075] Before modeling, it is necessary to pre-normalize the input and output parameters. Generally, the normalization is carried out in the range of [0, 1]. The upper and lower limits of the parameters are obtained by considering a certain margin based on the upper and lower limits of the historical normal monitoring data.

[0076] (6) Adjust the model parameters of the GRU neural network to obtain the optimal prediction model. Parameter tuning can adopt optimization methods such as grid search.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present invention, the average heat exchange cycle of the above-mentioned one heater can be calculated by the following formula:

[0078]

[0079] In the formula, T is the average heat exchange cycle of one heater, with the unit of s; L vapor is the average path length of the steam side of the heater, with the unit of m; v vapor is the designed flow velocity of the steam side of the heater, with the unit of m / s; L water is the average path length of the water side of the heater, with the unit of m; v water is the designed flow velocity of the water side of the heater, with the unit of m / s.

[0080] Furthermore, when the flow path structure of the steam turbine changes due to factors such as structural transformation, the method of the present invention can adapt to the new flow path structure by correcting the reference characteristic flow area of the last stage of the intermediate pressure cylinder and the first stage of the low pressure cylinder with new performance test data, and at the same time correcting the GRU neural network prediction model of the inlet steam flow of the heater.

[0081] In summary, the soft measurement method for the extraction steam flow rate during the zero output operation of the low-pressure cylinder of a steam turbine provided by the embodiments of the present invention first calculates the steam flow rate passing through the last stage of the intermediate-pressure cylinder through the reference characteristic flow area and the real-time measured data of the DCS. Then, the exhaust steam flow rate of the intermediate-pressure cylinder is divided into three parts: the cooling steam flow rate going to the low-pressure cylinder has a direct measuring point; the steam flow rate going to the heat supply station is the parameter to be calculated; the steam flow rate going to the heater is the key to the solution. Considering the hysteresis of the heater parameters, a GRU neural network model is established based on the inlet steam flow rate of the heater obtained under the non-heating condition of the steam turbine and other monitored parameter data of the heater after time alignment. With the help of the memory characteristics of the GRU network, the accuracy of the prediction of the inlet steam flow rate of the heater is improved, thereby realizing the calculation of the extraction steam flow rate under the zero output condition of the low-pressure cylinder.
