Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steam turbine unit control, and in particular to an intelligent speed regulation control system for a steam turbine unit. Background Art

[0002] Domestically imported KKK, SIEMENS, and Elliott steam turbines are equipped with on-site independent overspeed protectors, independent speed controllers, and safety instrument interlock systems. These three devices work independently and are connected together through hard circuits (relays) to achieve steam turbine speed control. The maintenance is complex and the failure rate is high, which brings certain hidden dangers to factory production. It is impossible to achieve remote one-button start of steam turbine units and load control. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide an intelligent speed control system for a steam turbine unit.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An intelligent speed control system for a steam turbine unit comprises a steam turbine unit and an intelligent speed controller, wherein the intelligent speed controller is controlled and connected to the steam turbine unit;

[0006] The intelligent speed control controller is used to output an interlock shutdown signal to the steam turbine unit when the interlock shutdown is triggered, the main steam valve of the steam turbine unit is closed, and the interlock solenoid valve is de-energized; it is used to output an interlock reset signal to the steam turbine unit when the interlock reset is triggered, and the interlock solenoid valve is energized; it is used to establish a quick oil shut-off, open the quick shut-off valve, and prepare to start the machine when the starting conditions of the steam turbine unit are met; it is used to control the steam turbine to gradually increase the speed from 0 speed to the first-order target speed when a warm-up mode is triggered, start automatic warm-up, and start the automatic start when the opening of the main steam valve is greater than the set value and the speed is lower than the set value It is used to automatically trigger the interlock protection function; when the second-stage warm-up mode is triggered, the steam turbine is controlled to enter the second-order target speed and start automatic warm-up; when the acceleration mode is triggered, the steam turbine is controlled to quickly pass through the critical speed to enter the minimum operating speed, and the critical speed residence time protection function is started to prevent the steam turbine unit from being unable to leave the critical area. Once the critical speed stays for more than the set time, the interlock shutdown is triggered; when starting a normal shutdown, the steam turbine is controlled to start automatically reducing the load to the first-order target speed, and the interlock shutdown is triggered after waiting for the set time.

[0007] Furthermore, the intelligent speed controller is also used to allow an operator to manually set a target speed of the steam turbine or to allow a third-party target value to automatically adjust the steam turbine load when starting a normal operation mode.

[0008] Furthermore, the intelligent speed controller is also used to allow the target speed of the turbine to be set to exceed the normal speed regulation maximum value when starting the overspeed test mode, so as to test whether the safety shutdown function of the turbine unit can be normally triggered when overspeeding.

[0009] Furthermore, the intelligent speed controller is also used to adjust the main steam valve to see whether it meets the linear control index when the static test mode is started and the turbine unit is in an interlocked state.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by utilizing the present invention, functions such as one-key startup, automatic warm-up, load regulation, adaptive adjustment of speed regulation parameters, and intelligent control of the steam turbine unit can be realized, replacing the currently complex independent controllers, reducing the failure rate, and reducing the equipment maintenance cost, thereby realizing a fully automatic intelligent control mode and improving production efficiency.
