[0040] A hydraulic turbine is a power machine that converts the energy of water flow into mechanical energy. In a hydropower station, water in an upstream reservoir is introduced to the hydraulic turbine through a diversion pipe, which drives the hydraulic turbine runner to rotate and drives the generator to generate electricity. The water that has done work is discharged to the downstream through a tailrace pipe. The higher the water head and the greater the flow, the greater the output power of the hydraulic turbine. The output power of the hydraulic turbine refers to the work done by the water flow with a certain water head and flow through the hydraulic turbine in a unit of time.

[0041] The embodiment provides a method for predicting the operating life of a hydraulic turbine runner, Figure 1 The method for predicting the operating life of the hydraulic turbine runner according to the embodiment of the application is shown in the flowchart as Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps:

[0042] Step S101, obtain the basic information of each working condition point of the hydraulic turbine unit, the basic information including the operating water head, the output size and the running start and end time; in the embodiment, different combinations of operating water head and output size are different working condition points, and the running time under different working condition points will affect the running life of the runner of the hydraulic turbine.

[0043] It should be noted that the operating water head H is the net water head during the operation of the power station, and the output size P refers to the water turbine output obtained by inversely calculating the generator efficiency according to the generator load, wherein P = P 有功 / η 发电机 , η 发电机 is the generator efficiency, the running start and end time t1, t2 should be recorded at least to seconds, the start time should be the time t1 of the previous operation command on the upper computer of the hydraulic turbine unit monitoring system, and the stop time should be the time t2 of the next operation command after the upper computer of the monitoring system, then the running time t = (t2-t1) of the hydraulic turbine unit under the working condition in the period, wherein the operation command refers to the operation command when the working condition is switched, for example, issuing a stop command, a start command, a load conversion from 30% Pe to 40% Pe, etc.

[0044] Step S102, according to the basic information of each working condition point, the working time proportion of the hydraulic turbine unit at each working condition point is counted; specifically, according to the running start and end time under each working condition, the running time under each working condition is obtained, the running time under the same working condition is added, and then the total running time under each working condition is obtained, and the ratio of the total running time under each working condition to the total running time under all working conditions is the working time proportion W i % of the hydraulic turbine unit at each working condition point, wherein i represents different working condition points.

[0045] Step S103, obtain the stress condition of the runner of the hydraulic turbine unit when running at each working condition point, and perform fatigue life calculation according to the stress condition of the runner of the hydraulic turbine unit when running at each working condition point to obtain the life of the runner at each working condition point; in the embodiment, physical modeling of the hydraulic turbine can be performed by running modeling software, full-flow analysis of the hydraulic turbine can be performed by using simulation calculation software, the stress condition of the runner of the hydraulic turbine unit when running at each working condition point is obtained, the stress condition of the runner is different when the hydraulic turbine unit runs at different working condition points, and the life of the runner is also different under different stress conditions, therefore, fatigue life calculation is performed according to the stress condition of the runner, and the life L i of the runner at each working condition point can be obtained.

[0046] Step S104, the working time proportion of the hydraulic turbine unit at each working condition point and the life of the runner at each working condition point are weighted and averaged to obtain the running life of the runner of the hydraulic turbine.

[0047] In this embodiment, the operating life of the runner of the hydraulic turbine is calculated as shown in the following formula 1:

[0048]

[0049] wherein W i represents the working time proportion of the hydraulic turbine unit at each working condition point, and ΣWi=100, L i represents the life of the runner at each working condition point, and i represents different working condition points.

[0050] Through steps S101 to S104, compared with the related art which needs manual shutdown to check the condition of the runner of the hydraulic turbine, resulting in waste of manpower and financial resources, and affecting the working efficiency of the hydraulic turbine, in this embodiment, the basic information of each working condition point of the hydraulic turbine unit is obtained, the basic information including the operating head, the output size and the operating start and end time, the working time proportion of the hydraulic turbine unit at each working condition point is calculated according to the basic information of each working condition point, the stress condition of the runner when the hydraulic turbine unit operates at each working condition point is obtained, the fatigue life is calculated according to the stress condition of the runner when the hydraulic turbine unit operates at each working condition point, the life of the runner at each working condition point is obtained, and the working time proportion of the hydraulic turbine unit at each working condition point and the life of the runner at each working condition point are weighted and averaged to obtain the operating life of the runner of the hydraulic turbine, that is, the operating life of the runner of the hydraulic turbine is obtained, which can enable the staff to better understand the performance of the runner and better control the maintenance time of the hydraulic turbine without frequent shutdown inspection, thereby solving the problem of the related art that manual checking of the condition of the runner of the hydraulic turbine results in waste of manpower and financial resources and affects the working efficiency of the hydraulic turbine.

[0051] In this embodiment, the predicted operating life of the runner of the hydraulic turbine refers to predicting the use time of the hydraulic turbine unit according to the operating condition of the hydraulic turbine unit, therefore, once the working condition changes, the predicted operating life will also change in real time, and the hydraulic turbine unit can also be analyzed in real time through this application.

[0052] In actual application, the number of different working condition points is large, and if the working time proportion of the hydraulic turbine unit at each working condition point is calculated one by one, it will result in large calculation amount and more time consumption, therefore, in some embodiments, the working time proportion of the hydraulic turbine unit at each working condition point is calculated according to the basic information of each working condition point, including:

[0053] The operating head and the output size are divided into interval segments to obtain the head interval segment and the output interval segment, wherein different head interval segments and output interval segments form different working condition interval segments, and the working time proportion of the hydraulic turbine unit at each working condition interval segment is calculated according to the operating start and end time of the hydraulic turbine unit at each working condition interval segment.

[0054] Exemplarily, the minimum operating water head is 31.5 m, the maximum operating water head is 66.5 m, the range of the operating water head can be evenly divided into 10 water head interval segments, even if there are 100 operating water head data, they can all be classified into the 10 water head interval segments. If the water head interval segment includes [31.5, 35) and [35, 39), and the output interval segment includes [30, 45) and [45, 60), four different working condition interval segments can be formed.

[0055] In the embodiment, by taking different working condition interval segments as different working condition points, the working time proportion of the hydraulic turbine unit in each working condition interval segment and the life of the runner under each working condition interval segment are counted, and the operating life of the hydraulic turbine runner is obtained through weighted average calculation, thereby further reducing the calculation amount and improving the calculation efficiency.

[0056] Optionally, the operating water head and the output size are divided into interval segments to obtain the water head interval segment and the output interval segment, which includes:

[0057] According to the water head interval segment obtained by dividing the operating water head according to the characteristics of the hydraulic turbine unit, the water head interval segment is obtained, wherein the characteristics of the hydraulic turbine unit include the minimum water head, the maximum water head and the operating water head frequency, and the output interval segment is obtained by dividing the output size according to the output regulation characteristics, wherein the output regulation characteristics include the minimum output, the maximum output and the output size frequency.

[0058] When the interval segments are evenly divided according to the range of the operating water head and the range of the output size, it is not considered which operating water head data and output size data are commonly used operating conditions, so that the predicted operating life of the hydraulic turbine runner is not accurate enough, therefore, in the embodiment, it can be judged which range of interval segment is commonly used operating interval segment according to the operating water head frequency and the output size frequency, and the commonly used operating interval segment is further subdivided, and the range of the operating interval segment which is not commonly used can be divided larger.

[0059] Exemplarily, when the minimum operating water head is 31.5 m and the maximum operating water head is 66.5 m, the frequency of the operating water head between 43 m and 55 m is relatively high, the commonly used operating interval segment is [43, 55], and when subdivided, it can be divided into [43, 45), [45, 47), [47, 49), [49, 51), [51, 53) and [53, 55), and the operating interval segment which is not commonly used is directly divided into [31.5, 45) and [55, 66.5].

[0060] In actual application, the representative point in each working condition interval segment can also be set as the calculation working condition point f of each working condition interval segment according to the characteristics of the power station. i The stress of the runner is calculated, so that the predicted operating life of the hydraulic turbine runner is more accurate.

[0061] Therefore, in some embodiments, according to the frequency of operating water head and the frequency of output size in each working condition interval segment, the calculation working condition points of each working condition interval segment are obtained; for example, the water head interval segment in the working condition interval segment is [43, 45), the processing interval segment is [45, 60), in the working condition interval segment, the operating water head data are 43, 44 and 44.5, and the corresponding output sizes are 45, 50 and 55.5, according to the characteristics of the power station operation, the working condition with the operating water head data of 43 and the output size of 45 is operated most frequently, and therefore, the working condition with the operating water head data of 43 and the output size of 45 is selected as the calculation working condition point of the working condition interval segment.

[0062] The stress of the runner of the hydraulic turbine unit when operating at each calculation working condition point is obtained, fatigue life calculation is performed according to the stress of the runner of the hydraulic turbine unit when operating at each calculation working condition point, the life of the runner at each calculation working condition point is obtained, the working time proportion of the hydraulic turbine unit in each working condition interval segment and the life of the runner at each calculation working condition point are weighted and averaged to obtain the operating life of the runner of the hydraulic turbine.

[0063] In some embodiments, the fatigue life calculation is performed according to the stress of the runner of the hydraulic turbine unit when operating at each working condition point, and the life of the runner at each working condition point is obtained, including:

[0064] Based on the finite element calculation and the fluid-structure coupling principle, the stress of the runner of the hydraulic turbine unit when operating at each working condition point is applied to the runner, and the fatigue life calculation software is used to perform fatigue life calculation on the runner to obtain the life of the runner at each working condition point. The task of the finite element calculation is to complete the relevant numerical calculation based on the finite element model and output the required calculation results. The amount of calculation of the finite element calculation is very large, so this part of work is completed by the computer. Except for the necessary settings and selection of the calculation method, calculation content, calculation parameters and working condition before calculation, human intervention is generally not required. The fluid-structure coupling principle refers to the deformation or movement of a deformed solid under fluid load. Deformation or movement in turn affects fluid movement, thereby changing the distribution and size of fluid load. It is this interaction that produces various fluid-structure coupling phenomena under different conditions.

[0065] In some embodiments, the stress of the runner of the hydraulic turbine unit when operating at each working condition point is applied to the runner, and the fatigue life calculation software is used to perform fatigue life calculation on the runner, including:

[0066] The force condition of the runner when the hydraulic turbine unit is running at each working point is applied to the runner, and the influence of the micro-defects and micro-cracks on the fatigue life is considered, and the fatigue calculation software is used to calculate the fatigue life of the runner. In this embodiment, when predicting the operating life of the runner, the micro-defects and micro-cracks existing in the runner itself also affect the life of the runner, so the influence of the micro-defects and micro-cracks on the life of the runner can be obtained through fatigue fracture simulation analysis and corresponding evaluation criteria, and then the fatigue calculation software is used to calculate the fatigue life of the runner, so that the life of the runner at each working point is more accurate.

[0067] In some embodiments, after obtaining the operating life of the hydraulic turbine runner, the operating time of the hydraulic turbine runner is obtained according to the difference between the operating life of the hydraulic turbine runner and the operating time of the hydraulic turbine runner. The predicted operating life is converted into time T, and the total operating time T0 is subtracted from the time T, and the operating time T of the runner under the same conditions can be obtained. s Through this embodiment, the staff can better control the maintenance time of the hydraulic turbine.

[0068] It should be noted that the steps shown in the above flow or the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that here.
