Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automatic control of power systems, and in particular to a method for controlling the main steam temperature of a thermal power unit. Background Art

[0002] The control quality of the steam temperature system of large thermal power units will have a significant impact on the safety and economy of the units. Due to large inertia, large hysteresis and nonlinear problems, the superheated steam temperature system generally suffers from large temperature fluctuations and poor anti-disturbance ability in actual operation.

[0003] Thermal power plants widely use superheated desuperheating water systems to control the main steam temperature. For precise control, these systems are generally divided into two stages, front and back. Currently, most studies on main steam temperature control focus solely on water spray desuperheating. However, during operation, supercritical and ultra-supercritical units may experience inappropriate intermediate temperature, leading to the superheated desuperheating water valve being fully closed or fully open. This results in a lack of a means to quickly adjust the main steam temperature in a short period of time. Overcoming large fluctuations in superheated air temperature and insufficient adjustment margin are urgent issues that need to be addressed. Therefore, this application proposes a method for controlling the main steam temperature using iterative predictive control and real-time verification of the intermediate temperature.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention, the intermediate point temperature setting value is adjusted according to the main steam temperature control deviation in step 2 in the form of: where f(e T ) is the main steam temperature deviation e T piecewise function of .

[0016] As a further improvement of the present invention, in step 2, the intermediate point temperature setting value is adjusted according to the superheated desuperheating water flow rate. First, a linear function of the actual power P and the superheated desuperheating water consumption is fitted with reference to the operating data as the reference value D. sp =f(P).

[0017] As a further improvement of the present invention, in step 2, the intermediate point temperature setting value is adjusted according to the superheating and cooling water flow rate, and the actual superheating and cooling water consumption D is different from the superheating and cooling water consumption D. sp The deviation is used as the input of the pure integrator, and the output of the integrator is the correction value of the mid-point temperature setting.

[0018] As a further improvement of the present invention, in step 2, the intermediate point temperature setting value is adjusted according to the superheated desuperheating water flow rate, and the integration time of the pure integrator is 30000s.

[0019] As a further improvement of the present invention, the step 3 sets the sampling time of the iterative predictive controller parameters

[0020] T s=2s, control time domain m=5, error weighting coefficient matrix Q=0.0001I, control increment weighting coefficient matrix R=I,

The form of adjusting the midpoint temperature setting value according to the main steam temperature control deviation is: where f(e T ) is the main steam temperature deviation e T Piecewise function of . Generally refer to:

Actual superheating and desuperheating water consumption D and superheating and desuperheating water consumption D sp The deviation is used as the input of the pure integrator, and the output of the integrator is the correction value of the midpoint temperature setting. The integration time of the pure integrator is 30000s.

Set the iterative predictive controller parameter sampling time T s = 2s, control time domain m = 5, error weighting coefficient matrix Q = 0.0001I, control increment weighting coefficient matrix R = I,
