Description

Technical Field

[0002] The most crucial operation for coal-fired power generating units during flexible peak shaving under ultra-low load conditions is the switching and merging of feedwater pumps. This involves equipment including feedwater pumps, engineering workstations, configuration logic, pressure transmitters, turbine feedwater pump speeds, recirculation electric valves, recirculation control valves, and more. Under ultra-low load conditions, the unit's operating status is inherently unstable, requiring operators to closely monitor equipment parameters and adjust operating conditions promptly. Switching and merging feedwater pumps under ultra-low load conditions during flexible peak shaving involves numerous operational steps. It requires continuously modifying output feedwater pump commands and recirculation control valve commands based on equipment parameters such as feedwater pump instructions, speed, feedwater header pressure, feedwater pump outlet pressure, and feedwater flow rate. All of this is done manually by operators, resulting in a large workload and insufficient flexibility. Summary of the Invention

[0097] The electric valves at the outlets of both A and B water pumps are fully open.

[0098] The deviation between the outlet pressure of the A / B water supply pump and the outlet header pressure shall not exceed 0.1 MPa.

[0102] (2) Command to reduce the speed of water pump A

[0103] Permitted condition: A. Water supply pump is controlled in manual mode.

[0111] (5) Pump tripping of water supply pump A completed.

[0112] Permissible conditions: When the speed of water pump A is less than 2900 r / min or the command of water pump A is less than 1.

[0113] Operation command: Pump A has been switched off, program control has ended.

[0114] It should be noted that the default setting for value G1 is 0.05% per second, and this command size can be flexibly modified online.

[0115] Furthermore, the allowable conditions and operation instructions for each step in the pump switching logic design sequence include:

[0116] (1) When pump A starts running in parallel, the command to increase the speed of pump A is executed.

[0117] Permitted conditions: Load exceeds 240MW;

[0118] Both water pumps A and B are in automatic mode;

[0119] A. The electric recirculation valve of the water pump is fully open, and the manual recirculation valve is opened to a degree greater than 65.

[0140] Operation command: Pump A is in operation and pumping is complete; program control ends.

[0141] It should be noted that the default setting for value G2 is 0.05% per second, and this command value can be flexibly modified online. The acceleration / deceleration rate and other setpoints of the water pump command can all be modified online. After multiple runs, more reasonable parameters can be obtained through calculation and experience. These parameters can be optimized directly online without stopping the system for configuration, thus increasing flexibility.

[0142] Furthermore, to prevent excessive commands from A water pump during the pumping process, the command of B water pump is increased by 10% during the speed-up to limit its speed and ensure its safety. Through logic configuration, the possibility of human error is reduced.

[0143] S3: The driver module outputs the step number and step trigger pulse to control the programmable step sequence. Once the step is completed, feedback is sent back to the driver module.

[0144] Furthermore, if any step in the cutting and pumping sequence fails to meet the permitted conditions, the next step requires manual confirmation, and automatic permission protection conditions are set. When the programmed operation needs to be interrupted, the system is restored to the initial state via the drive module.

[0145] S4: The drive module outputs the next jump step number and jump step trigger pulse according to the predetermined step sequence, and finally outputs the command to drive the function group device to start and stop.

[0146] Furthermore, the output of the programmable step sequence is implemented by the step sequence module. The step sequence module executes the mask defined in the function block according to the step number and step trigger pulse output by the drive module, in the order of reset, mask, jump, step hold, next step, timer hold, and finally outputs the command to drive the function group device to start and stop.

[0147] Example 2

[0148] Reference Figure 2-14 As an embodiment of the present invention, a method for optimizing the switching and paralleling of feedwater pumps in coal-fired power units is provided. In order to verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through application experiments.

[0149] like Figure 3 The pump switching programmable operation sequence block receives the step number and step pulse command from the drive block and outputs the step sequence command logic.

[0150] like Figure 4 Once the step is completed, feedback is sent to the driver module for logical judgment, and the output is returned to the driver module, along with the next step number.

[0151] like Figure 5-6 This refers to the judgment logic steps for pump switching program control.

[0152] During pump switching and paralleling operations, the load is generally low, and equipment parameters are easily disturbed and unstable. Therefore, when configuring one-click pump switching, attention must be paid to control safety. The system should allow for manual intervention during the switching process, requiring manual confirmation before proceeding to the next step if conditions are not met, and should include automatic allowance protection conditions. The automatic allowance protection conditions are set as follows: Figure 6 During the process of switching off pump A, if the outlet pressure of pump B deviates from the outlet main pipe pressure by more than 0.1 MPa, or if the outlet pressure of pump A deviates from the outlet main pipe pressure by more than 1 MPa, and this continues for 3 seconds, the pump switching and speed reduction control of pump A will be temporarily stopped. The pump A command to reduce speed will be temporarily stopped until the actual water flow rate deviates from the set water flow rate by no more than 20 t / h. At this point, the pump A command will continue to decrease at 0.05% per second according to the pump switching and speed reduction control of pump A, ensuring the stability of operating parameters.

[0153] Upon initiating pump cutoff, the A feedwater pump command, in accordance with the A feedwater pump cutoff speed reduction control, begins by decreasing the speed by 0.05% per second. Figure 7 Its rotational speed can be flexibly modified online as needed, without the need for configuration download.

[0154] Increase operability and reduce risks caused by improper parameter settings during actual operation.

[0155] like Figure 9 The pump programmable operation sequence module receives the step number and step pulse command from the drive module and outputs the step sequence command logic.

[0156] like Figure 10 Once the step is completed, feedback is sent to the driver module for logical judgment, and the output is returned to the driver module, along with the next step number.

[0157] like Figure 11-12 The judgment logic steps for parallel pump programmable control.

[0158] During the pump merging process, the A feedwater pump command, according to the A feedwater pump merging speed control, begins to increase its speed at 0.05% per second. Figure 7 The acceleration rate is flexibly adjustable, and a 10% limit is set by another pump to prevent overshoot, thus increasing safety and reliability.

[0159] The operation screen for cutting and parallel pump control is controlled by the programmable controller. Figure 13 and Figure 14 When the conditions for programmable operation are met, a red checkmark appears before the condition description. Press the "Start" button to start the programmable operation of the switch and parallel pumps. As the steps proceed, the corresponding step box flashes red. When the conditions for the next step are met, the program will automatically jump to the next step. This continues until the entire programmable process is completed. The programmable logic then returns to its initial state, waiting for the next programmable start.

[0160] This invention modifies the configuration logic to complete the operation with a single click, reducing the number of operation steps and sequences, simplifying operation, reducing the workload of operators, and increasing the stability and controllability of the equipment.
