Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of thermal power generation control, and relates to an automatic control method for a steam pump recirculation regulating valve. BACKGROUND

[0002] The steam pump recirculation regulating valve is mainly used in cooperation with a steam pump. When the steam pump water supply is low, the steam pump recirculation valve is used to return water to a deaerator to ensure stable operation of the steam pump during low water supply. When the steam pump water supply is normal, the steam pump recirculation regulating valve is closed, and the steam pump stably supplies water to the boiler. When the steam pump water supply suddenly decreases to the minimum flow, the steam pump recirculation regulating valve is quickly opened to ensure safe operation of the steam pump.

[0003] The steam pump recirculation regulating valve is generally controlled by an open loop, and a hysteresis loop control is more common. However, the open loop control is relatively simple, and when minimum flow protection occurs, the steam pump recirculation regulating valve cannot be quickly opened. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provides an automatic control method for a steam pump recirculation regulating valve, which can automatically control the opening degree of the steam pump recirculation regulating valve according to the operating conditions to protect safe operation of the steam pump.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the automatic control method for a steam pump recirculation regulating valve comprises the following steps:

[0006] When the steam pump recirculation regulating valve is automatically controlled, the PID control constant value is automatically set;

[0007] When the actual value of the steam pump water supply flow exceeds the PID control constant value, the opening degree of the steam pump recirculation regulating valve is gradually reduced to a preset opening degree, and the opening degree of the steam pump recirculation regulating valve is maintained at the preset opening degree;

[0008] When the steam pump water supply flow exceeds the preset value for a preset time, the steam pump recirculation regulating valve is gradually closed at a preset rate;

[0009] A hysteresis function is formed according to the received unit load instruction correction value, the upper and lower limit values of the opening degree of the steam pump recirculation regulating valve are limited by using the hysteresis function, and the steam pump recirculation regulating valve is operated in a preset range.

[0010] When the minimum flow protection of the steam pump is triggered, the steam pump recirculation regulating valve is opened by the feedforward action of the PID, and the upper and lower limit values of the steam pump recirculation regulating valve are corrected, so that the steam pump recirculation regulating valve can match the safe operation of the steam pump.

[0011] The preset opening degree is 20%.

[0012] When the steam pump recirculation valve is automatically switched to manual, if the opening of the steam pump recirculation valve is less than 20% at this time, the opening of the steam pump recirculation valve is gradually adjusted to 20% at a preset rate; otherwise, the opening of the steam pump recirculation valve is maintained unchanged.

[0013] The automatic control method is realized through a steam pump recirculation valve control loop.

[0014] The present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In the automatic control method of the steam pump recirculation valve, the opening of the steam pump recirculation valve is controlled based on PID control, the upper and lower limit values of the opening of the steam pump recirculation valve are controlled based on a hysteresis function, and the steam pump recirculation valve is quickly opened based on the feedforward action of PID, while the upper and lower limit values of the steam pump recirculation valve are corrected to meet the automatic opening and closing function under normal operating conditions of the steam pump recirculation valve and the quick opening function under the minimum flow condition of the steam pump recirculation valve. It should be noted that by using the present application, the optimal control constant is automatically set after the steam pump recirculation valve is automatically switched, and the operating requirements of each condition are automatically matched.

[0026] When the steam pump recirculation valve is switched from automatic to manual, if the opening of the steam pump recirculation valve is less than 20% at this time, the opening of the steam pump recirculation valve is gradually adjusted to 20% at a preset rate; otherwise, the opening of the steam pump recirculation valve is maintained unchanged to ensure the safe operation of the steam pump.
