Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of nuclear power, and in particular relates to a method for diagnosing abnormal electric power output of a nuclear power steam turbine unit system. Background Art

[0002] Nuclear power steam turbine generator systems utilize a control mode in which the reactor thermal power follows the turbine's power generation output. Once the turbine's target power is set, the reactor thermal power is adjusted to that target power. The turbine's output power depends on many factors, including reactor thermal power, seawater temperature, system efficiency, and instrument accuracy. Therefore, its output power is not a constant value. Therefore, when the nuclear power unit is operating at actual power, it is difficult for power plant operators to determine whether the turbine system power is operating normally.

[0003] Currently, nuclear power plants generally control the units by comparing the displayed reactor thermal power with the maximum limit, ensuring that the steam turbine system's output power is generated according to the unit's actual capacity. However, the reactor power displayed in the main control room is calibrated based on the thermal power of the steam turbine system circuit. The reactor thermal power calculation formula is as follows:

[0004]

[0005] WSG i =(H vi -H ei )Q ei -(H vi -H pi )Q pi

[0006] Where:

[0007] n is the number of unit loops;

[0008] W is the reactor thermal power;

[0009] WSG i is the thermal power of each steam generator;

[0010] Wp is the thermal power supplied to the reactor coolant system by other heat sources except the core;

[0011] H vi is the steam generator outlet steam enthalpy of each loop;

[0012] H ei is the main feed water enthalpy for each loop;

[0013] Q ei The main feed water flow of each loop;

[0014] H pi , Qpi Respectively represent the blowdown enthalpy and blowdown flow rate of the steam generator of each loop;

[0015] From the formula, we can find that the main feed water enthalpy value H ei Affects the calculation of the unit's thermal power, and the main feed water enthalpy H ei The main feed water temperature T fi Therefore, the main feed water temperature T fi Finally, the nuclear power turbine power P e Output and reactor thermal power W. Main feed water temperature T fi The output is measured by the main feed water thermometer. When the main feed water thermometer drifts high, it will cause the actual thermal power W of the reactor to e Higher than the displayed thermal power W, the steam turbine generator set output electrical power P e Too high; when the main feed water thermometer is low, it will cause the actual thermal power of the reactor W e Lower than the displayed thermal power W, the steam turbine generator set output power P e Restricted.

[0016] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a method for diagnosing abnormal electric power output of a nuclear power steam turbine unit system to quickly diagnose whether the main feed water temperature has caused abnormal electric power output. Summary of the Invention
