Description

[0002] Pumped-storage units play a role in peak shaving and frequency modulation in the power grid due to their unique operation mode of bidirectional operation of pumps and turbines. Therefore, pumped-storage units frequently switch operating conditions and often operate under conditions such as turbine startup and pump startup. Under adverse conditions such as load shedding, problems such as excessive water hammer pressure and unstable no-load operation are likely to occur, which may pose a threat to the safe and stable operation of the unit and pipelines. In order to ensure the stable operation of the unit and give full play to the advantages of pumped-storage units, it is urgent to improve the operation quality of pumped-storage units under adverse conditions.

[0003] In practical engineering applications, methods such as optimizing the guide vane closing law, introducing pressure feedback, installing MGV devices, partially closing the ball valve, and optimizing runner design are usually adopted to improve the operation stability of the unit under adverse conditions. For pumped-storage units, the adjustment methods after load shedding can be divided into automatically adjusting the unit to no-load operation and directly acting on the unit to stop.

[0047] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a control method for the load rejection to no-load operation condition of a pumped-storage unit, including:

[0052] According to a control method for a pumped-storage unit to perform load rejection until the no-load operating condition provided by the present invention, in step S1, establish an external characteristic analysis model of the pumped-storage unit, including:

[0053] Establish a characteristic normal model of the penstock to obtain the instantaneous head H of the pipeline p and the flow rate Q p , where the transient head H of the pipeline p and the flow rate Q p are solved by the following formulas:

[0060] Establish a runner flow model with the MGV device, and after installing the MGV, obtain the flow rate characteristic Q s and the torque characteristic M s :

[0061]

[0062] Among them, Q s is the total flow through the runner, and Q mt is the flow through the MGV device, and Q ct is the flow through the conventional guide vane; M s is the total torque of the runner, and M mt is the torque at the MGV device, and M ct is the torque at the conventional guide vane;

[0063] b1, b2, b3, b4 are constants, and preferably the values of the constants are 1.0;

[0064] Z m is the number of pre-opening guide vanes, and Z t is the total number of movable guide vanes.

[0065] According to a control method for a pumped-storage unit to shed load until it operates under no-load conditions provided by the present invention, the pre-opening guide vane opening is the sum of the conventional guide vane opening and the additional opening:

[0066] y m,MGV = m + y m ;

[0067] An improved Suter transformation method is used to process the full characteristic curve and perform interpolation and extension, and the formula is as follows:

[0068]

[0069]

[0070] In the formula, WH and WM respectively represent the head and torque characteristics of the pump-turbine; n, q, h, and m respectively represent the relative values of rotational speed, flow rate, head, and torque; in this embodiment, C y = 0.2, C h = 0.5, k1 = 1.0, k2 = 10.

[0071] According to a control method for a pumped-storage unit to shed load until it operates under no-load conditions provided by the present invention, step S2 includes:

[0072] Do not put into the MGV device, conduct a simulation of shedding load until it operates under no-load conditions, and use a parallel PID control strategy to control the guide vane action after the load shedding occurs.

[0073] Furthermore, as Figure 2 shown, step S2 includes:

[0074] Obtain the iterative initial values N0, H0, and Q0 of the rotational speed N, head H, and flow rate Q; calculate the conventional guide vane opening y m and the pre-opening guide vane opening y at the guide vane where the MGV device is put into operation m,MGV , Δy m represents the difference between y m,MGV and y m , that is, the additional opening;

[0075] According to the guide vane opening y m calculate the flow rate Q corresponding to the guide vane ct ; based on y m,MGV calculate the flow rate Q at the guide vane where the MGV device is put into operation mt , and calculate the total flow rate at the runner by weighted calculation; calculate the difference between the total flow rate and the iterative initial value of the flow rate Q. If the difference is less than the preset flow rate threshold, proceed to the next step; otherwise, determine the initial value and calculate again;

[0076] According to the conventional guide vane opening y m calculate the torque value M at the conventional guide vane ct ; calculate the corresponding torque M according to the pre-opening guide vane opening at the guide vane of the MGV device mt , and calculate the total torque of the runner;

[0077] Calculate the current unit rotational speed according to the generator equation, and calculate the difference between the current unit rotational speed and the iterative initial value N0 of the rotational speed. If the difference is less than the preset rotational speed threshold, proceed to the next step; otherwise, determine the initial value and calculate again;

[0078] Output the real-time rotational speed N t , opening y m , head H t , flow rate Q t and torque M t .

[0079] According to a control method for a pumped-storage unit to shed load until it operates under no-load conditions provided by the present invention, step S3 includes:

[0080] Obtain the simulation results in two cases of not putting the MGV device into operation and putting the MGV device into operation, and compare the rotational speed adjustment Δn, the maximum value H scmax of the inlet pressure of the volute, the minimum value H dtmin of the inlet pressure of the draft tube, and the synchronization grid connection time T SR ;

[0081] In a specific embodiment, a simulation of shedding load until it operates under no-load conditions is carried out in the case of putting the MGV device into operation. The shedding load conditions under three schemes of putting 1, 2, and 3 pairs of MGV devices into operation are respectively tested, and several additional openings Δy m are selected at equal intervals, and a shedding load simulation is carried out so that the additional opening Δym Open to a certain value Δy according to a linear rule c ;

[0082] Step S3 includes the following sub-steps:

[0083] (3.1) Set Scenarios 1-3 as the cases of putting 1, 2, and 3 pairs of MGV devices respectively;

[0084] (3.2) In the case of Scenario 1, let Δy c be a series of values, and conduct load rejection simulations until the no-load operating condition;

[0085] (3.3) In the case of Scenario 2, let Δy c be a series of values, and conduct load rejection simulations until the no-load operating condition;

[0086] (3.4) In the case of Scenario 3, let Δy c be a series of values, and conduct load rejection simulations until the no-load operating condition;

[0087] (3.5) With the goal of minimizing the maximum value of the spiral case inlet pressure and the shortest synchronization time, select the corresponding number of MGV pairs put in and the pre-opening degree (Δy c ) as the optimal solution.

[0088] The test results of the maximum value of the spiral case inlet pressure (H scmax ) and the synchronization time (T SR ) are shown in Table 1 below;

[0089] From the following table and Figure 5 as shown, it can be obtained that Δy c in Scenario 1 is larger, followed by Scenario 2 and then Scenario 3. And H scmax in Scenario 1 is larger, and the synchronization time decreases with the increase of Δy c . Among them, the effect is the best when the pre-opening is 30%, but a larger opening degree will cause greater interference to the water flow in the runner area, resulting in the vibration of the unit main shaft;

[0090] Compared with Scenario 1, the control effect of Scenario 2 is better, the reduction of the maximum value of the spiral case inlet pressure is greater, and the synchronization time is also better. Among them, the control effect is the best when the pre-opening is 21%;

[0091] H scmax in Scenario 3 first decreases and then increases, and the synchronization time continuously increases. When the additional opening degree increases to 12%, its evaluation index is the best;

[0092] Therefore, combining Table 1 and Figure 6 as shown, select Scenario 3 as the optimal layout plan, where Δy c = 12% is the optimal additional opening degree.

[0093] Table 1 Load rejection results of different layout modes of MGV device and pre-opening degrees

[0094]

[0095] Simulations are carried out respectively in two cases of not putting into and putting into the MGV device, the process curves are compared, and the improvement effect of the MGV device is clarified;

[0096] The comparison diagram of the closing laws of the guide vanes where the MGV device is located and the conventional guide vanes when the load is rejected until the MGV device is put into the no-load operation condition is as Figure 5 shown;

[0097] Compare the process curves when no additional measures are put into and when the MGV device is put into, and compare the rotational speed overshoot Δn, the maximum value of the spiral case inlet pressure H scmax , the minimum value of the draft tube inlet pressure H dtmin , the synchronization grid connection time T SR and other equivalent values; The results are as Figure 6 shown (the subscript m represents the situation of putting into the MGV device) and Table 2 (the extreme value occurrence time is in parentheses);

[0098] Table 2 Comparison of results of adopting different control strategies in the load rejection condition

[0099]

[0100]

[0101] (3.6) Clarify the improvement effect of the measure of putting into the MGV device on the load rejection until the no-load operation condition;

[0102] It can be seen from Figure 6 that when the load is rejected until the no-load operation condition occurs, adopting the MGV device can better improve the operation quality of the unit. In the early stage of load rejection, putting into the MGV device can effectively reduce the maximum value of the spiral case inlet pressure, increase the minimum value of the draft tube inlet pressure, reduce the reverse over-current peak value and shorten the synchronization time; in the later no-load operation, putting into the MGV device makes the fluctuation ranges of parameters such as rotational speed, spiral case inlet pressure, draft tube inlet pressure and flow rate continuously decrease, and the unit can enter the no-load steady state. Therefore, putting into the MGV device in the embodiment of the present invention can better improve the operation effect of the unit during the load rejection until the no-load operation condition.
