Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas turbine power generation technology, and in particular to a method for safety design and monitoring of natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves. Background Technology
[0002] As a core component of the fuel system for heavy-duty gas turbines and hydrogen fuel cell gas turbines, the fuel control valve has become a key technology for the localization of these technologies. Due to frequent start-ups and shutdowns of gas turbines and drastic changes in natural gas or hydrogen parameters, the fuel control valve experiences complex stress conditions. Under transient operating conditions of the gas turbine, thermal stress can easily cause structural deformation, leading to failure in the fit between important components of the fuel control valve. This affects the safe operation of the fuel control valve and can also easily increase the stress on important components, resulting in damage to the fuel control valve.
[0003] In the field of engineering design, since the valve body of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valve of the gas turbine is a durable part, its shape is usually irregular during the design, and as an important pressure-bearing component, there are many weak points in structural strength and safety.
[0004] However, at present, there are no suitable safety design and monitoring methods available in China for the design and production of fuel control valves in the fields of heavy-duty gas turbines and hydrogen fuel cell gas turbines.
[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a method for the safety design and monitoring of control valves for natural gas and hydrogen fuels. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for safety design and monitoring of natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves, which realizes safety design monitoring and structural optimization and improvement of fuel control valves during the design stage, so as to ensure the safe service of natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves in gas turbines.
[0007] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for safety design and monitoring of natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves, the method comprising the following steps:
[0009] Step 1: Construct safety analysis models for natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves;
[0010] The second step is to determine the material names, properties, and component clearance values of each component in the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves.
[0011] The third step is to determine the boundary conditions and initial conditions for the safety analysis of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves.
[0012] Step 4: Determine the contact configuration between the components of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves;
[0013] Step 5: Calculate the temperature field, displacement field, and stress field of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves;
[0014] Step 6: Monitor and optimize the deformation safety of natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves;
[0015] Step 7: Monitor and optimize the structural strength and safety of natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves under steady-state operating conditions;
[0016] Step 8: Monitor and optimize the structural strength and safety of natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves under transient operating conditions.
[0017] The method for safety design and monitoring of natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves described in this invention achieves safety design and monitoring of natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves by sequentially performing modeling, data collection, analysis and calculation of safety monitoring, and structural optimization and improvement steps. When the structural strength and safety monitoring of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valve fails to meet the requirements under steady-state and transient variable operating conditions, the structural strength and safety of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valve can be ensured by replacing the relevant components with materials with better mechanical properties, increasing the cross-sectional area of the relevant components, or increasing the radius of the structural fillet at stress concentration points. The method for safety design and monitoring of natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves described in this invention can also be used for the safety design and monitoring of fuel control valve components.
[0018] The method for safety design and monitoring of natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves described in this invention employs a system comprising independent modeling and data collection modules, which are sequentially connected to an analysis and calculation module, a safety monitoring module, and a structural optimization and improvement module.
[0019] When the data output by the safety monitoring module is qualified, the safety design and monitoring of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves ends. When the data output by the safety monitoring module is unqualified, the data is input to the structural optimization and improvement module for optimization processing, and then continues to be input to the modeling module and data collection module to start a new round of safety design and monitoring until the data output by the safety monitoring module is qualified.
[0020] Furthermore, the step of constructing the safety analysis model for the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves in the first step specifically includes:
[0021] Using existing modeling techniques, three-dimensional models of natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves were constructed based on the design drawings.
[0022] Furthermore, in the first step of constructing the safety analysis model for the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves, the effects of threads, grooves, and holes are ignored to avoid unnecessary stress concentration.
[0023] Furthermore, the second step of determining the material names, properties, and component clearance values of each component of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves specifically includes:

[0027] Preferably, the component clearance value includes the minimum clearance δ between the fuel control valve stem and the guide sleeve. min and maximum value δ max This is because, under high-temperature conditions, the different materials of the valve stem and the guide sleeve result in different thermal expansion, which in turn affects the gap between the valve stem and the guide sleeve, causing the valve stem to jam or vibrate.
[0028] In this invention, if the gap between the valve stem and the guide sleeve of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valve is too large or too small under various operating conditions, the components involving the important gaps of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valve can be replaced with materials with similar mechanical properties, or the structure of the gap area can be improved, so that the deformation safety of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valve meets the requirements.
[0029] Furthermore, the steps in the third step of determining the boundary conditions and initial conditions for the safety analysis of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves specifically include:
[0030] Based on the natural gas parameters under various operating conditions of the gas turbine, the force boundary conditions and thermal boundary conditions for the safety analysis of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves are determined.
[0031] Based on the initial temperature distribution of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves under various operating conditions of the gas turbine, the initial conditions for the safety analysis of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves are determined.
[0032] Furthermore, the step of determining the contact configuration between the components of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves in the fourth step specifically includes:
[0033] Based on the design drawings of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves, the contact forms between each component are clearly defined to distinguish whether the contact interfaces can be separated, whether they can slide freely, and whether there is friction.
[0034] The contact method described applies only to the interaction between two components and is not considered when designing the safety of a single component; this step can be ignored.
[0035] Furthermore, the fifth step, which involves calculating the temperature field, displacement field, and stress field of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves, specifically includes:

The transient variable operating conditions include hot start-up condition, warm start-up condition, cold start-up condition, variable load condition, and gas turbine shutdown condition. Obtain the relative distance δ of the important gaps of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves, and the maximum equivalent surface stress s of the stress concentration parts of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves. eq3 The distribution of stress and the location where the maximum stress occurs.
[0039] Furthermore, the sixth step of monitoring and optimizing the deformation safety of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves specifically includes:
[0040] (1) If δ max ≥δ≥δ min The structural deformation caused by thermal stress will not affect the normal operation of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves, indicating that the relative distance δ of the important gaps of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves under various operating conditions is under control. The safety monitoring of the deformation of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves is completed, and we will proceed to step seven.
[0041] (2) If δ < δ minStructural deformation caused by thermal expansion can affect the normal operation of natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves, indicating that components involving critical clearances in natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves need to be optimized and improved during the design phase. This could involve using materials with similar mechanical properties, improving the structure of the clearance areas, and repeating steps one through six until δ ≥ δ. min until;
[0042] (3) If δ>δ max Structural deformation caused by thermal expansion can affect the normal operation of natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves, indicating that components involving critical clearances in natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves need to be optimized and improved during the design phase. This could involve using materials with similar mechanical properties, or improving the structure of the clearance areas, and repeating steps one through six until δ ≤ δ max until.
[0043] Furthermore, the seventh step, which involves monitoring and optimizing the structural safety of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves under steady-state operating conditions, specifically includes:

This could involve using materials with better mechanical properties, or increasing the cross-sectional area of the relevant components of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves. Steps one through seven should be repeated until steps s are completed. eq2 Until ≤[s].
[0046] Furthermore, the eighth step, which involves monitoring and optimizing the structural safety of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves under transient operating conditions, specifically includes:
[0047] (1) If The maximum equivalent surface stress s at the stress concentration point of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valve under transient operating conditions eq3 The structural safety design is qualified, indicating that the maximum equivalent surface stress s at the stress concentration points of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves under transient operating conditions is within acceptable limits. eq3Under controlled conditions, the maximum equivalent surface stress s at the stress concentration point of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valve. eq3 Structural safety monitoring has ended;
[0048] (2) If The maximum equivalent surface stress s at the stress concentration point of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valve under transient operating conditions eq3 The structural safety design is inadequate, indicating that the structure of the stress concentration areas on the surface of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves needs to be optimized and improved during the design phase. This includes increasing the fillet radius of the stress concentration areas and repeating steps one through eight until... until.
[0049] Preferably, for casting materials, C = 1.5, and for forging materials, C = 2.
[0050] In this invention, if the structural strength and safety monitoring of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valve fails to meet the requirements under steady-state and transient variable conditions, the relevant components of the gas fuel control are replaced with materials with better mechanical properties, or the cross-sectional area of the relevant components is increased, or the radius of the structural fillet at the stress concentration point is increased, so that the structural strength and safety of the natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valve meets the requirements.

[0064] The third step is to determine the boundary conditions and initial conditions for the safety analysis of natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves. By using natural gas data under various operating conditions of a certain type of heavy-duty gas turbine, as well as the operating environment of natural gas and hydrogen fuel control valves, the thermal boundary conditions and force boundary conditions of the fuel control valves are clarified.
