Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of distribution valve operation fault detection, and in particular to a method and system for detecting operation fault of a guide vane distribution valve of a turbine governor. Background Art

[0002] The turbine governor guide vane distribution valve is the core mechanical component of the governor system. It directly acts on the entire hydraulic system and controls the adjustment operation of the water guide mechanism. Distribution valve failure is also a first-level overspeed accident shutdown condition for the hydropower plant. Therefore, distribution valve failure seriously affects the safe and stable operation of the turbine generator set. How to correctly detect distribution valve failure in the governor system is also particularly critical.

[0003] At present, the fault detection of the distribution valve of the domestic speed governor mainly relies on the limit switch signal installed on the balance plate of the distribution valve for judgment. The balance plate follows the real-time action of the distribution valve to close or open the limit switch, realizes the monitoring of the distribution valve position signal, and then determines whether there is a distribution valve fault. However, this method has major disadvantages: First, the device needs to frequently follow the action of the distribution valve. In the long run, there are defects such as serious wear of the bracket transmission mechanism, aging and fatigue of the limit switch spring, and easy signal jitter, which directly affect the accuracy of the distribution valve fault detection; second, this device can only determine the fault of the distribution valve in the closing direction and lacks the function of judging the fault in the opening direction, making the detection incomplete; third, the limit switch generally has a shorter action stroke than the main distribution stroke. After a long period of action, the installation bracket is easy to loosen and the signal action is not sensitive, resulting in the long-term and stable operation of the turbine. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present application provides a method and system for detecting the operation fault of the guide vane distribution valve of a turbine governor, which at least solves the technical problem in the related art of inaccurate and incomplete detection of distribution valve faults, which causes the turbine to be unable to operate stably for a long time.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0020] This application proposes a method and system for detecting operational faults in a turbine governor's guide vane distribution valve. The method comprises: collecting operational information of the turbine governor system; and detecting whether the turbine governor's guide vane distribution valve has experienced operational faults based on the collected operational information and a PLC controller. The technical solution provided by the present invention ensures high reliability, high durability, and wide applicability of fault detection for turbine governor's guide vane distribution valve.

[0021] The following describes a method and system for detecting an actuation failure of a guide vane distribution valve of a turbine governor according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for detecting an actuation fault of a guide vane distribution valve of a turbine governor provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method is applied to a PLC controller of an electric control cabinet in a turbine governor system. The PLC controller is provided with an actuation fault detection program of the guide vane distribution valve of the turbine governor, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0024] Step 1: collecting the operating information of the turbine governor system;

[0025] It should be noted that the operating information of the turbine governor system includes:

[0026] The power supply information of the AC incoming power supply and DC incoming power supply of the electric control cabinet in the turbine speed governor system, the failure discrete quantity of the PLC controller, the theoretical opening value of the guide vane distribution valve, the real-time opening value of the guide vane distribution valve, the change rate of the guide vane distribution valve, the theoretical opening value of the guide vane, the real-time opening value of the guide vane, the change rate of the guide vane, the frequency of the turbine and the operating information of whether the guide vane needs to be manually rotated.

[0027] Step 2: Based on the collected operating information and the PLC controller, detect whether the turbine governor guide vane distribution valve has an action failure.

[0028] It should be noted that the detection of whether the turbine governor guide vane distribution valve has an action failure based on the collected operation information and the PLC controller includes:

[0029] If the PLC controller detects that the power information of the AC incoming power supply and the DC incoming power supply of the electric control cabinet disappears, it is determined that the electric control cabinet loses power.

[0030] It should be noted that the detection of whether a turbine governor guide vane distribution valve has an action failure based on the collected operation information and the PLC controller further includes:

[0031] If the PLC controller detects that the failure discrete quantity of the PLC controller is equal to zero, it is determined that the PLC controller has failed.

[0032] For example, when the discrete output point of the PLC controller changes from 1 to 0, the PLC controller fails.

[0033] It should be noted that the detection of whether a turbine governor guide vane distribution valve has an action failure based on the collected operation information and the PLC controller further includes:

[0034] Obtaining the absolute value of the difference between the theoretical opening value of the guide vane distribution valve and the real-time opening value of the guide vane distribution valve in each cycle of a preset time period;

[0035] If the PLC controller detects that the absolute values ​​of A cycles within the preset time period are all greater than the preset guide vane distribution valve opening difference threshold, and the change rate of the guide vane distribution valve is less than the preset first change rate threshold, it is determined that the guide vane distribution valve has an action following fault.

[0036] It should be noted that the detection of whether a turbine governor guide vane distribution valve has an action failure based on the collected operation information and the PLC controller further includes:

[0037] Obtaining the absolute value of the difference between the theoretical opening value of the guide vane and the real-time opening value of the guide vane in each cycle of a preset time period;

[0038] If the PLC controller detects that the absolute values ​​of B cycles within a preset time period are all greater than the preset guide vane opening difference threshold, and the change rate of the guide vane is less than the preset second change rate threshold, it is determined that the guide vane relay has an action following fault.

[0039] It should be noted that the detection of whether a turbine governor guide vane distribution valve has an action failure based on the collected operation information and the PLC controller further includes:

[0040] If the PLC controller detects that the frequency of the turbine is a fault frequency or the frequency of the turbine is a normal frequency and the frequency of the turbine is greater than a preset frequency threshold, and the guide vanes need to be rotated manually, it is determined that the guide vane distribution valve has a rotation fault.

[0041] It should be noted that the detection of whether a turbine governor guide vane distribution valve has an action failure based on the collected operation information and the PLC controller further includes:

[0042] If any of the following faults is detected: power failure of the electric control cabinet or failure of the PLC controller, action follow-up failure of the guide vane distribution valve, action follow-up failure of the guide vane relay, and rotation failure of the guide vane distribution valve, it is determined that an action failure has occurred in the guide vane distribution valve of the turbine governor.

[0043] The specific implementation of the above-mentioned turbine governor guide vane distribution valve action failure detection method can be as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0044] In summary, the method for detecting a turbine governor guide vane distribution valve operation failure provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure detects whether a turbine governor guide vane distribution valve operation failure occurs by collecting operating information of the turbine governor system and a PLC controller, thereby accurately detecting various causes of guide vane distribution valve failures. By performing logical judgment within the turbine governor system program, without the need to install a mechanical detection device, the method effectively avoids the problems of loose brackets, wear of the bracket rotation mechanism, aging of the limit switch spring, and easy signal jitter associated with traditional limit switch-based mechanical detection devices, effectively protecting the safety of various mechanical components of the hydro-generator set and effectively avoiding unplanned shutdowns caused by malfunctions or insensitivity of traditional mechanical detection devices. The method can also comprehensively cover various causes of guide vane distribution valve failures. Furthermore, since the method only requires adding program logical judgment within the PLC controller of the governor system's electric control cabinet, as long as the system operates normally, it has a long service life and requires almost no on-site maintenance. The method can also be widely applied to various turbine generator set governor systems to solve problems such as inaccurate guide vane distribution valve detection.
