Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of thermal performance test of generator set, and particularly relates to a method for correcting and calculating electric power consumption of air cooling fan in calculation of auxiliary power consumption of thermal power generator set. BACKGROUND

[0002] Auxiliary power consumption is an index reflecting power consumption of auxiliary equipment of the unit, and factors affecting the auxiliary power consumption of the unit mainly include, besides its own performance, (1) external conditions, such as atmospheric pressure and temperature variation, and when these conditions deviate from the design value, they will have a great influence on the power consumption of devices such as air cooling fan, fan and feed water pump; (2) operating conditions, such as deviation of operating mode and operating parameter setting from the design (or guarantee) working condition requirement, which will also affect the auxiliary equipment power consumption index to different degrees.

[0003] Among all auxiliary power consumption devices, the factors affecting the measured electric power consumption of the air cooling fan are relatively complex, and the main influencing factors and influencing rules are as follows:

[0004] (1) Atmospheric pressure and temperature. When the atmospheric pressure and temperature change, the air density changes, the air mass flow of the air cooling fan changes at the same speed, and the electric power consumption of the air cooling fan changes accordingly;

[0005] (2) Air cooling fan speed. When the air cooling fan speed increases, the electric power consumption of the air cooling fan increases accordingly;

[0006] (3) Turbine exhaust flow. When the turbine exhaust flow increases, the air cooling fan speed increases to maintain the same exhaust pressure, and the electric power consumption of the air cooling fan increases accordingly;

[0007] (4) Turbine exhaust steam dryness. When the turbine exhaust steam dryness increases, the steam content in the exhaust increases under the same exhaust mass flow, the air cooling fan speed increases to maintain the same exhaust pressure, and the electric power consumption of the air cooling fan increases accordingly;

[0008] (5) Fouling of heat transfer tube bundle. When the air cooling system is operated for a long time, atmospheric dust, sewage and the like are deposited on the surface of the air cooling heat transfer tube bundle, resulting in fouling of the heat transfer tube bundle, which increases the heat transfer resistance. At this time, the air cooling fan speed increases to maintain the same exhaust pressure of the turbine, and the electric power consumption of the air cooling fan increases accordingly.

[0009] Based on the above analysis, it is very important to correct the above influencing factors when evaluating the electric power consumption of the air cooling fan. However, there is no complete calculation formula or calculation method for correcting the above factors in the currently published literature. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore the method for correcting and calculating the electric power consumption of the air cooling fan in the calculation of auxiliary power consumption.
