Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of steam turbine power generation, specifically relating to a safety monitoring system and method for interlocking valve-controlled heating in thermal power units. Background Technology
[0002] As wind and solar power account for an increasingly larger share of the power system and gradually become the main component, the significant randomness, intermittency, and volatility of renewable energy pose a huge challenge to the stability and security of the power system. Enhancing the flexibility of the power system has become key to building a new type of power system. Deep peak shaving will become the norm for thermal power units, laying the foundation for large-scale grid integration of new energy sources.
[0003] High-temperature steam drawn from cold or hot reheat pipelines by thermal power units, after being desuperheated and depressurized, is supplied to heat users. This is an important and widely used method of industrial heating in cogeneration. However, with the normalization of deep peak shaving by the units, on the one hand, the sliding pressure of the cold or hot reheat steam will gradually decrease during operation; on the other hand, due to the influence of boiler reheater heat balance and unit axial thrust, technical problems often arise at the low and medium load boundaries where the pressure and flow of the cogeneration unit's heating main pipe do not meet user needs.
[0004] To ensure user demand under deep peak-shaving conditions, a throttling operation involving the intermediate valve can be adopted. The technical method involves adjusting the opening of the turbine's intermediate valve to throttle the steam, causing the steam entering the turbine's intermediate-pressure cylinder to stagnate in a limited local space before the valve, creating a "pressure buildup" effect. Under the influence of pressure wave energy transfer, this increases the steam pressure in the cold or hot reheat pipelines. Furthermore, after throttling the intermediate valve, the work capacity in the low-pressure flow zone of the unit decreases, leading to a reduction in load. This not only increases heating capacity but also further promotes peak-shaving depth and enhances the unit's thermoelectric decoupling capability.
[0005] Considering that the initial design boundary of conventional large-capacity thermal power units is to bear the grid's baseline load, the intermediate valve of the unit will be in a normally open and non-adjustable state under normal operating conditions. Therefore, existing operation monitoring and early warning systems mainly target operating conditions of 50% THA and above, and do not cover operating conditions where the intermediate valve participates in regulation. Under the current background of normalized long-cycle deep peak shaving, the existing system cannot comprehensively monitor and evaluate the safety status of the unit and provide early warnings, which will pose potential safety hazards to the unit. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a supplementary intelligent new intermediate valve-assisted heating safety monitoring system, which is of great significance for promoting the safe and reliable operation of the unit under partial load conditions. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a safety monitoring system and method suitable for intermediate valve-controlled heating in thermal power units, which can provide safety warnings and assessments of the turbine body operation, key components and major auxiliary systems during intermediate valve-controlled heating.

[0054] Example:
[0055] Taking a certain unit as an example, the present invention includes an equipment monitoring unit for acquiring core safety feature data of multiple components of the unit in the entire time domain when the unit is in the process of heating with the central gate parameter regulation.
[0056] The control data analysis center is used to receive safety feature data transmitted by the equipment monitoring unit, compare it with built-in expert data, and conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the unit's operational safety.
[0057] The boundary adjustment management terminal uses an embedded digital twin model and an adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm to identify and adjust the unit to the optimal operating boundary value under the target heating capacity.
[0058] The equipment monitoring unit includes a high-pressure flow zone monitoring module, a medium-pressure flow zone monitoring module, a central valve body monitoring module, and a high-pressure fire-resistant oil system monitoring module.
[0059] The high-pressure flow zone monitoring module is used to evaluate the condition of the last few stages of the high-pressure flow zone blower and the strength of the high-pressure baffle, stationary blades, and moving blades under the interlocking gate heating mode. The high-pressure flow zone monitoring module has a built-in first temperature sensor, a first differential pressure sensor, a first vibration measurement sensor, and a first multi-core processor.
[0060] The measurement signals acquired by all sensors in the high-voltage current-carrying zone monitoring module are modulated using double-sideband modulation with suppressed carrier. Here, the band signal is m(t), the carrier frequency is fc, and the modulated signal is s(t).
[0061] S(t)=m(t)cos(2πf c )t
[0062] After demodulation and transmission to a multi-core processor, the data is initially processed using a threshold discrimination method.
[0063] The first temperature sensor is an integrated temperature sensor based on CMOS technology. The resistor, MOSFET or BJT provided by standard CMOS technology are used as temperature sensing devices. It is installed at the outlet of the moving blades of the 8th and 9th stages of the high-pressure cylinder to monitor the blade-level temperature information when the blower is generated.
[0064] The first differential pressure sensor features a robust stainless steel housing. Its two pressure ports are equipped with high-quality AISI 316L stainless steel alloy diaphragms. Pressure is transmitted to the sensor chip via an oil-filled, media-isolated sensor unit. It integrates signal conditioning and provides a calibrated analog output signal with high electromagnetic interference (EMI) immunity from 0.5V to 4.5V. Installed before and after the nozzle of the 9th stage stator vane in the high-pressure cylinder, it monitors changes in the static pressure difference between the inlet and outlet sections of the final stage stator vane, providing early warning of blowout phenomena. An alarm signal will be output when the current measured value of the differential pressure sensor reaches 1.3 times the measured value under 40% THA conditions.
[0065] The first vibration measurement sensor uses a high-frequency reflective eddy current sensor. The characteristic relationship between the eddy current of the measured object, the outer and inner diameters of the probe coil, the eddy current depth, and the physical parameters of the measured material and the coil excitation frequency is as follows:
[0066] D represents the diameter of the probe coil, R is the outer radius of the eddy current, h is the depth of the eddy current, r is the inner radius of the eddy current, ρ is the resistivity of the measured object, μ is the relative permeability of the measured object, and f is the excitation frequency of the coil.
[0067] 2R = 2.48D
[0068] 2r = 0.625D
[0069]
[0070] The measurement signals acquired by all sensors are demodulated and transmitted to the first multi-core processor for data forwarding.
[0071] The medium-pressure flow zone monitoring module is used to assess the blower conditions of the last few stages in the medium-pressure flow zone under the interlocking gate-controlled heating system, as well as the strength of the baffles, stationary blades, and moving blades. The medium-pressure flow zone monitoring module incorporates a second temperature sensor, a second differential pressure sensor, a second vibration measurement sensor, and a second multi-core processor.
[0072] The second temperature sensor also uses an integrated temperature sensor based on CMOS technology. The standard CMOS technology provides resistors, MOSFETs, or BJTs as temperature sensing devices. The second temperature sensor is installed at the outlet of the moving blades of the 12th and 13th stages of the intermediate pressure cylinder to monitor the blade-level temperature information when the blower is generated.
[0073] The second differential pressure sensor features a robust stainless steel housing. Its two pressure ports are equipped with high-quality AISI 316L stainless steel alloy diaphragms. Pressure is transmitted to the sensor chip via an oil-filled, media-isolated sensor unit. It integrates signal conditioning and provides a calibrated analog output signal with high electromagnetic interference (EMI) immunity from 0.5V to 4.5V. The differential pressure sensor is installed before and after the 13th stage stator vane of the intermediate-pressure cylinder to monitor changes in the static pressure difference between the inlet and outlet sections of the final stage stator vane, providing early warning of blower phenomena. An alarm signal will be output when the current measured value of the second differential pressure sensor reaches 1.15 times the measured value under 50% THA conditions.
[0074] The second vibration measurement sensor is installed after the last stage moving blade of the intermediate pressure cylinder to monitor the blade flutter pulse response during flow-induced vibration in the trailing edge region and to assess the strength of the moving blade.
[0075] The measurement signals acquired by all sensors are demodulated and transmitted to the second multi-core processor for data forwarding.
[0076] The Zhonglian valve body monitoring module is used to evaluate and monitor the valve stem strength and valve body vibration of Zhonglian valves under the parameter-controlled heating mode. The module incorporates a strain sensor, a displacement sensor, an ultrasonic response sensor, and a multi-core processor.
[0077] The strain sensor uses the RFID tag antenna itself as the strain sensing unit, and indirectly measures strain by utilizing the linear relationship between the strain and resonant frequency drift of the microstrip patch antenna. The characteristic relationship between the resonant frequency and the length of the microstrip patch antenna is as follows:
[0078]
[0079] The radiating patch has a length of L, a width of W, and a thickness of h. The relative permittivity of the dielectric substrate is ε. r The resonant frequency is f0; the radio frequency identification strain sensor is installed on the outer valve cover of the medium-pressure regulating valve to monitor the strain information of the valve body.
[0080] The displacement sensor employs a magnetostrictive displacement sensor, which accurately measures position by generating a strain pulse signal through the intersection of two different magnetic fields. During the measurement process, a current pulse is generated within the sensor's electronic chamber. This current pulse propagates within the waveguide, generating a circumferential magnetic field outside the waveguide. When this magnetic field intersects with the magnetic field generated by a movable magnetic ring fitted on the waveguide to indicate position change, a strain mechanical wave pulse signal is generated within the waveguide under the action of magnetostriction. The displacement sensor is installed in the valve cover and bushing area inside the medium-pressure regulating valve to capture and monitor the valve's displacement information and provide early warning of valve body vibration.
[0081] The ultrasonic response sensor has a detection range of 300–500 mm wavelength and an acoustic emission angle of 12°–15°. It features temperature compensation and can achieve a repeatability accuracy of up to 0.6 mm over a wide temperature range.
[0082] The temperature compensation calculation formula is as follows:
[0083] V = 335.6 + 0.725T
[0084] In the formula: V is the speed of ultrasonic wave propagation in air; T is the ambient temperature.
[0085] An ultrasonic response sensor is installed on the turbine platform outside the central gate to assess the type of damage to the central gate under abnormal conditions.
[0086] The measurement signals acquired by the strain sensor, displacement sensor, and ultrasonic response sensor of the Zoomlion valve body monitoring module are demodulated and transmitted to the multi-core processor, where the data is initially processed using a threshold discrimination method.

It is installed on the pipeline at the outlet of the EH oil pump to measure and evaluate pipeline oil pressure pulsations.
[0089] The piezoelectric material of the acoustic emission sensor is a quartz crystal, which is installed in the O-ring area of the regulating valve to monitor the heat aging and fracture of the sealing ring and assess the damage and oil leakage rate.
[0090] Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors are tubularly packaged and primarily manufactured from stainless steel tubes, FBGs, and metal rings. FBGs are Bragg fiber grating structures, with the fiber core changing periodically along the axial direction while the optical period remains constant, resulting in high reflectivity and a narrow reflection spectrum. FBG sensors are mounted on the wall of hydraulic actuator cylinders to measure cylinder strain and displacement, and to identify wear and jamming. Measurement signals acquired by dynamic pressure sensors, acoustic emission sensors, and FBG sensors are demodulated and transmitted to a multi-core processor, where a threshold discrimination method is used for preliminary data processing.
[0091] The Control Data Analysis Center, based on an embedded web platform, receives safety characteristic data transmitted from equipment monitoring units and periodically stores it in a MySQL database. It features real-time information monitoring, historical alarm information, and historical environmental data analysis. Every 5 seconds, the Control Data Analysis Center retrieves safety characteristic data from the equipment monitoring units and stores it in the MySQL database. It connects to the database by executing SQL statements and releases the connection after the data processing is complete. Historical alarm information is displayed in a linked format using pie charts and bar charts, facilitating timely detection of faults and safety hazards. The historical environmental data analysis function visualizes alarm information from four dimensions: annual, monthly, weekly, and daily reports. The Control Data Analysis Center also has a built-in expert database covering characteristic parameter safety boundaries from unit tests and simulations under different steam inlet parameters, installed capacities, and heating flow rates. The Control Data Analysis Center conducts multi-source data fusion analysis on the received and transmitted safety characteristic data, comprehensively compares it with the built-in expert data, and ultimately evaluates the unit's operational safety.
[0092] The boundary adjustment management terminal is associated with the plant-level real-time and historical monitoring information system. It has an embedded digital twin model and uses an adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm to optimize the safety boundary database obtained through calculation. It establishes the optimal safe operating boundary under the final target load, prompts the identification and adjustment of the unit to the optimal operating boundary value under the target heat supply, and finally prompts the unit to make safety and economic adjustments.
