Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automatic control technology, specifically an automatic control method and device for a circulating water pump. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, based on industry requirements regarding water consumption in coal-fired power generating units, an increasing number of power plants have gradually introduced air-cooling technology. Air-cooling technology is divided into two types: direct air-cooling and indirect air-cooling. Indirect air-cooling, due to its advantages such as water conservation, low power consumption, low cost, and low noise, has been widely used in thermal power units in water-scarce regions in recent years. Indirect air-cooling systems utilize circulating water to cool turbine exhaust steam, and the heated circulating water then enters a natural draft cooling tower, where it is cooled by the air. For indirect air-cooled units, each unit typically requires two 100% capacity circulating water pumps, one for operation and one for standby. Circulating water pumps are high-flow, low-pressure head equipment, resulting in significant investment per pump. To reduce investment, more and more power plants are choosing a two-unit, three-pump configuration, meaning two units are equipped with three 100% capacity circulating water pumps, ensuring each unit has one operating pump and one common standby pump.

[0003] In this configuration, the interlocking protection and automatic control logic of the circulating water pumps are more complex. If an accident occurs and the standby pump fails to start, it will cause the operating unit to trip. Furthermore, since two units share a single standby pump, if the circulating water pumps of the two units cannot be properly matched, it could even lead to a serious accident where both units trip simultaneously. Currently, for this configuration, the related switching and standby controls are mainly manual, resulting in a low level of automation. At the same time, the control logic of the shared standby pump is also imperfect. If operators make mistakes or fail to monitor properly, it can easily cause unit tripping or equipment damage. Summary of the Invention

[0084] In one embodiment, see Figure 1In order to control the interlocking start-up and trip protection of the circulating water pumps in a two-unit, three-pump configuration circulating water system under different operating conditions, and to enable one standby circulating water pump to provide reliable and effective backup for the circulating water pumps of both units simultaneously, thereby effectively ensuring the safe and stable operation of the unit's circulating water system, this application provides an automatic control method for circulating water pumps, including:

[0085] S101: Obtain the operating parameters of each circulating water pump in the circulating water system of the indirect-cooled unit; wherein, the circulating water pump includes the first unit circulating water pump, the second unit circulating water pump and the common standby circulating water pump;

[0086] S102: Control the operation of each valve in the circulating water system of the intercooled unit, the circulating water pump of the first unit and the circulating water pump of the second unit, so that the common standby circulating water pump enters the interlock standby state;

[0087] S103: When it is determined by detecting the operating parameters and the status of each valve that the circulating water pump of the first unit or the circulating water pump of the second unit has failed, the common standby circulating water pump in the interlock standby state is started; wherein, the failure includes insufficient output and tripping.

[0088] Understandable, Figure 9 This diagram illustrates a typical circulating water system for a two-unit, three-pump configuration of an indirect-cooled turbine unit, comprising: a controller 1, a circulating water pump for Unit 1 2, a common standby circulating water pump 3, a circulating water pump for Unit 2 4, a condenser for Unit 1 5, an indirect-cooling tower for Unit 1 6, an inlet valve for the circulating water pump for Unit 1 7, an outlet valve for the circulating water pump for Unit 1 8, an inlet valve for the common standby circulating water pump 9, an outlet valve for the common standby circulating water pump 10, an inlet valve for the circulating water pump for Unit 2 11, an outlet valve for the circulating water pump for Unit 2 12, a connecting valve between the inlet valves of Unit 1 and the standby pump 13, a connecting valve between the inlet valves of Unit 2 and the standby pump 14, a connecting valve between the outlet valves of Unit 1 and the standby pump 15, a connecting valve between the outlet valves of Unit 2 and the standby pump 16, an inlet valve for the charging pump 17, a charging pump 18, and a charging pump outlet valve 19. The circulating water pump for Unit 1 is also referred to as the first unit circulating water pump; the circulating water pump for Unit 2 is also referred to as the second unit circulating water pump.

[0089] The exhaust steam from Unit 1's turbine is cooled by circulating water in Unit 1's condenser 5. The heated circulating water is then divided into two paths: one path connects to the inlet of Unit 1's circulating water pump 2 via Unit 1's circulating water pump inlet valve 7, and the other path connects to the inlet of the common standby circulating water pump 9 via Unit 1's standby pump inlet connection valve 13. Similarly, the hot circulating water from Unit 2 is also divided into two paths: one path connects to the inlet of Unit 2's circulating water pump 4 via Unit 2's circulating water pump inlet valve 11, and the other path connects to the inlet of the common standby circulating water pump 9 via Unit 2's standby pump inlet connection valve 14. The outlet of Unit 1's circulating water pump 2 is connected to Unit 1's circulating water pump outlet valve 8 via a pipeline, and the outlet of Unit 2's circulating water pump 4 is connected to Unit 2's circulating water pump outlet valve 8 via a pipeline. The circulating water pump outlet valve 12 of Unit 1 is connected to the common standby circulating water pump 9. The outlet of the common standby circulating water pump 9 is split into two paths after passing through the common standby circulating water pump outlet valve 10. One path passes through the Unit 2 and standby pump outlet connection valve 16 and merges with the pipeline after the Unit 2 circulating water pump outlet valve to the Unit 2 intercooling tower (not shown). The other path passes through the Unit 1 and standby pump outlet connection valve 15 and merges with the pipeline after the Unit 1 circulating water pump outlet valve 8 to the Unit 1 intercooling tower 6.

In such cases, the common standby circulating water pump needs to be started to replace the output of the first and / or second unit circulating water pumps. However, before starting the common standby circulating water pump, it should be put into interlock standby mode.

[0091] As described above, the automatic control method for circulating water pumps provided in this application can control the interlocking start-up and trip protection of the circulating water pumps in a two-unit, three-pump configuration circulating water system under different operating conditions. This allows one standby circulating water pump to provide reliable and effective backup for the circulating water pumps of both units simultaneously, effectively ensuring the safe and stable operation of the unit's circulating water system. When equipment malfunctions, the common standby circulating water pump can quickly execute the interlocking start command, preventing generator unit shutdowns due to circulating water system outages. The automatic control method and device for circulating water pumps provided in this application can achieve fully automated control of the circulating water system commissioning process, reducing tedious operating procedures for operators, avoiding errors that may occur due to manual operation, and achieving precise judgment and control during commissioning.

[0092] The following provides a detailed explanation of steps S101 to S103.

[0093] Step S101: Obtain the operating parameters of each circulating water pump in the circulating water system of the intercooled unit; wherein, the circulating water pump includes the first unit circulating water pump, the second unit circulating water pump and the common standby circulating water pump.

[0094] Understandably, controller 1 collects real-time data via signal cables, including the liquid level H1 in the expansion tank of unit 1's intercooling tower, the liquid level H2 in the expansion tank of unit 2's intercooling tower, the circulating water pressure p1 in the outlet header of unit 1's circulating water pump, the circulating water pressure p2 in the outlet header of unit 2's circulating water pump, the circulating water pressure p3 in the outlet header of the common standby circulating water pump, and the stator coil temperature t of unit 1's circulating water pump motor. a1 Temperature of the bearing of the circulating water pump motor of Unit 1 (t) a2 Unit 1 circulating water pump bearing temperature t a3 Unit 1 circulating water pump inlet circulating water pressure p a Temperature t of the stator coil of the circulating water pump motor of Unit 2 b1 Temperature of the bearing of the circulating water pump motor of Unit 2 (t) b2 Unit 2 circulating water pump bearing temperature t b3 Unit 2 circulating water pump inlet circulating water pressure p b Public backup circulating water pump motor stator coil temperature t c1 Public backup circulating water pump motor bearing temperature t c2 Public backup circulating water pump bearing temperature t c3 Public backup circulating water pump inlet circulating water pressure p c The controller 1 also collects the operating status and inlet / outlet valve status of four pumps—the No. 1 unit circulating water pump, the No. 2 unit circulating water pump, the common standby circulating water pump, and the charging pump—via signal cables. Furthermore, the controller 1 controls the start / stop of the four pumps and the opening / closing of their inlet / outlet valves via signal cables. The preferred sampling scan period for the controller 1 is 200ms.

[0095] As can be seen from the above description, the automatic control method for circulating water pumps provided in this application can obtain the operating parameters of each circulating water pump in the circulating water system of the intercooled unit.

[0096] Step S102: Control the operation of each valve in the circulating water system of the intercooled unit, the circulating water pump of the first unit and the circulating water pump of the second unit, so that the common standby circulating water pump enters the interlock standby state.

[0097] It is understandable that step S102 is that the controller 1 controls the operation of various valves, the first unit circulating water pump, the second unit circulating water pump and the filling pump in the intercooled unit circulating water system through the signal cable, so that the common standby circulating water pump completes water filling and establishes water system circulation with the first unit circulating water pump and / or the second unit circulating water pump, thereby entering the interlock standby state.

[0098] Figure 2 This is a specific embodiment of the automatic control method for circulating water pumps implemented in this application.

[0099] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The second unit circulating water pump is in a non-operating state; the valve includes a connecting valve between the first unit circulating water pump and the common standby circulating water pump; controlling the operation of each valve in the intercooled unit circulating water system, the first unit circulating water pump, and the second unit circulating water pump to put the common standby circulating water pump into an interlocked standby state includes: filling the first unit circulating water pump with water (S201); when it is detected that the first unit circulating water pump has been filled with water, starting the first unit circulating water pump to realize the circulation of the first unit water system (S202); opening the connecting valve between the first unit circulating water pump and the common standby circulating water pump to allow circulating water from the inlet pipe of the first unit circulating water pump to enter the pipe of the common standby circulating water pump, and the common standby circulating water pump enters the interlocked standby state (S203).

[0100] It is understood that in this embodiment, the second unit's circulating water pump is in a non-operating state; in other words, only the first unit's circulating water pump is in operation. See also Figure 10 Steps 1001 to 1007 and 1010 in the above steps. Under this operating condition, the common standby circulating water pump only needs to provide backup for the first unit's circulating water pump. That is, the common standby circulating water pump only needs to establish a water system circulation with the first unit's circulating water pump to enter the interlocked standby state.

[0101] Step 1001: Close the inlet connection valve 13 between Unit 1 and the standby pump, the inlet connection valve 14 between Unit 2 and the standby pump, the outlet connection valve 15 between Unit 1 and the standby pump, and the outlet connection valve 16 between Unit 2 and the standby pump. Open the inlet valve 7 and the outlet valve 8 of the circulating water pump of Unit 1.

[0102] Before filling the circulating water system of Unit 1 with water, a system inspection must be carried out first. The circulating water system should be connected and the pipeline connecting it to the common circulating water standby pump should be disconnected. Specifically, close the inlet connection valve 13 between Unit 1 and the standby pump, the inlet connection valve 14 between Unit 2 and the standby pump, the outlet connection valve 15 between Unit 1 and the standby pump, and the outlet connection valve 16 between Unit 2 and the standby pump, and open the inlet valve 7 and the outlet valve 8 of the circulating water pump of Unit 1.

[0103] Step 1002: Confirm that the drain valve of the Unit 1 circulating water system (not shown) and the drain valve of the Unit 1 circulating water pump 2 (not shown) are both open. Open the inlet valve 17 of the charging pump, start the charging pump 18, and simultaneously open the outlet valve 19 of the charging pump. The drain valve of the Unit 1 circulating water system is located at a relatively high point in the system, and there are generally 2-4 valves, used to discharge air from the circulating water system. The drain valve of the Unit 1 circulating water pump is located at the highest point of the pump body, used to discharge air from the pump body.

[0104] After the circulating water system of Unit 1 is connected, confirm that all drain valves (not shown) of the circulating water system of Unit 1 and the drain valve of the circulating water pump 2 of Unit 1 (not shown) are open. Open the inlet valve 17 of the charging pump, start the charging pump 18, and simultaneously interlock and open the outlet valve 19 of the charging pump to start filling the circulating water system with water. During the water filling process, the inspection personnel should pay attention to checking the system for leaks. When water is continuously seen through all drain valves (not shown), they can be manually closed.

[0105] Step 1003: After H1 > a certain set value d, stop the water filling pump 18 and interlock to close the water filling pump outlet gate 19.

[0106] As the circulating water system pipelines fill with water, the liquid level in the expansion tank of the indirect cooling tower will gradually rise. When the liquid level H1 in the expansion tank of Unit 1's indirect cooling tower exceeds a certain set value d, the water filling pump 18 is stopped, and the water filling pump outlet valve 19 is simultaneously interlocked and closed to stop water injection into the system. The value of d is determined by the actual operating conditions of the unit. For example, in a certain embodiment, d is taken as 0.8m.

[0107] Step 1004: After a pause of approximately 20 minutes, monitor whether H1 > d is still satisfied. If it is satisfied, proceed to the next step; if not, repeat steps 1002 to 1004.

[0108] To ensure sufficient water filling of the circulating water system, water replenishment is stopped when the liquid level H1 in the expansion tank of Unit 1's intercooling tower exceeds a certain set value d. If the liquid level in the expansion tank drops below d within 20 minutes, it indicates that there is still air in the system and it is not fully filled with water. In this case, the water filling pump needs to be restarted to fill the system with water again. If the liquid level in the expansion tank is still greater than d within 20 minutes, it indicates that the circulating water system has been fully filled with water.

[0109] Step 1005: Close the outlet gate 8 of the circulating water pump of Unit 1, then start the circulating water pump 2 of Unit 1 and interlock to open the outlet gate 8 of the circulating water pump of Unit 1.

[0110] After the circulating water system of Unit 1 is filled with water, close the outlet valve 8 of the circulating water pump of Unit 1 to meet the start-up conditions and prevent the starting current of the circulating water pump motor from being too high. Then start the circulating water pump 2 of Unit 1. At the same time, interlock and open the outlet valve 8 of the circulating water pump of Unit 1. The circulating water system of Unit 1 is now started.

[0111] Step 1006: Confirm that the vent valve (not shown) of the public standby circulating water pump 3 is open, and slightly open its inlet and outlet valves to 8%, and slightly open the connection valve between Unit 1 and the standby pump to 13% to 8%. The vent valve of the public standby circulating water pump is located at the highest point of the pump body and is used to discharge air from the pump body of the circulating water pump.

[0112] After the circulating water system of Unit 1 is started, water is injected into the public standby circulating water pump 3. Since the circulating water at the inlet and outlet of Unit 1 is pressurized, the water injection process needs to be carried out slowly. After confirming that the pump body vent valve (not shown) of the public standby circulating water pump 3 is open, slightly open the public standby circulating water pump inlet valve 9 and the public standby circulating water pump outlet valve 10 to 8%, and slightly open the connection valve between Unit 1 and the standby pump inlet valve 13 to 8%. Inject the circulating water in the inlet pipeline of Unit 1 into the pipeline of the public standby circulating water pump. During this period, after the pump body of the public standby circulating water pump 3 is emptied and water is continuously seen, manually close it.

[0113] Step 1007: When p c >p a -0.03MPa, and p3>p a When the pressure is -0.03MPa, close the outlet valve 10 of the public standby circulating water pump and fully open the inlet and outlet valves 13 of the No. 1 unit and the standby pump, and the inlet valve 9 of the public standby circulating water pump.

[0114] When the circulating water pressure at the inlet and outlet of the public standby circulating water pump reaches equilibrium with the inlet circulating water pressure of Unit 1 circulating water pump 2 (by p) c >p a -0.03MPa, and p3>p a If the pressure drops to -0.03 MPa, it indicates that the public standby circulating water pump pipeline has been filled with water. At this time, the outlet valve 10 of the public standby circulating water pump can be closed, and the inlet and outlet connecting valve 13 between Unit 1 and the standby pump and the inlet valve 9 of the public standby circulating water pump can be fully opened, thus connecting the public standby circulating water pump system with the circulating water system of Unit 1.

[0115] Step 1010: Put the public standby circulating water pump 3 into interlock standby mode.

[0116] After the public standby circulating water pump pipeline is filled with water and the system is connected, the public standby circulating water pump will be put into interlock standby mode. When the circulating water pump 2 of Unit 1 fails and trips or has insufficient output, the public standby circulating water pump 3 can be automatically started to ensure the normal operation of the circulating water system of Unit 1.

[0117] As can be seen from the above description, the automatic control method for the circulating water pump provided in this application can control the operation of each valve in the circulating water system of the intercooled unit, the first unit circulating water pump and the second unit circulating water pump, so that the common standby circulating water pump enters the interlock standby state.

[0118] Figure 3 This is a specific embodiment of the automatic control method for circulating water pumps implemented in this application.

[0119] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The second unit circulating water pump is in operation; the valves include a connecting valve between the first unit circulating water pump and the common standby circulating water pump, and a connecting valve between the second unit circulating water pump and the common standby circulating water pump; controlling the operation of each valve in the intercooled unit circulating water system, the first unit circulating water pump, and the second unit circulating water pump to put the common standby circulating water pump into an interlocked standby state includes: filling the first unit circulating water pump with water (S301); when the filling of the first unit circulating water pump is detected to be complete, starting the first unit circulating water pump to realize the circulation of the first unit water system (S302); opening the... The connecting valve between the first unit circulating water pump and the common standby circulating water pump is opened to allow circulating water from the inlet pipe of the first unit circulating water pump to enter the pipe of the common standby circulating water pump (S303); the rotation speed of the second unit circulating water pump is adjusted to balance the outlet circulating water pressure of the first unit circulating water pump and the outlet circulating water pressure of the second unit circulating water pump (S304); the connecting valve between the second unit circulating water pump and the common standby circulating water pump is opened to allow circulating water from the inlet pipe of the second unit circulating water pump to enter the pipe of the common standby circulating water pump, and the common standby circulating water pump enters the interlocked standby state (S305).

[0120] It is understood that in this embodiment, the second unit's circulating water pump is in operation; in other words, the circulating water pumps in operation include both the first unit's circulating water pump and the second unit's circulating water pump. See also Figure 10Steps 1001 to 1010 are described in the following steps. Under this operating condition, the common standby circulating water pump needs to provide backup for both the first and second unit circulating water pumps. When any pump trips or has insufficient output, the common standby circulating water pump must be interlocked and started. Therefore, the common standby circulating water pump needs to establish water system circulation with both the first and second unit circulating water pumps before it can enter the interlocked standby state.

[0121] Continuing from the previous example, step 1008: If the circulating water pump 4 of Unit 2 is in operation, adjust the output of the circulating water pump 4 of Unit 2 (by adjusting the pump speed) until |p3-p2| < 0.02MPa is met; if the circulating water pump 4 of Unit 2 is in a stopped state, skip to step 1010.

[0122] To determine whether the circulating water system of Unit 2 is in operation, if it is in operation, the output of circulating water pump 4 of Unit 2 needs to be adjusted to balance the outlet circulating water pressure of the two pumps before the inlet and outlet connecting valves can be opened. If the circulating water system of Unit 2 is not in operation, there is no need to open the inlet and outlet connecting valves 14 between Unit 2 and the standby pump. The common standby circulating water pump 3 only needs to be on standby for circulating water pump 2 of Unit 1.

[0123] Step 1009: Slightly open the inlet and outlet connecting valve 14 of Unit 2 and the standby pump to 10%, then open it by 10% every 5 minutes until it reaches 50%, and then fully open the inlet and outlet connecting valve 14 of Unit 2 and the standby pump.

[0124] Once the outlet circulating water pressure of Unit 1's circulating water pump 2 and Unit 2's circulating water pump 4 reach relative equilibrium, slowly open the inlet / outlet connection valve 14 between Unit 2 and the standby pump. During this process, monitor the liquid level in the expansion tank of the cooling tower between the two units. Finally, fully open the inlet / outlet connection valve 14 between Unit 2 and the standby pump to connect the common standby circulating water pump system with the circulating water system of Unit 2.

[0125] Step 1010: Put the public standby circulating water pump 3 into interlock standby mode.

[0126] After the common standby circulating water pump pipeline is filled with water and the system is connected, the common standby circulating water pump will be put into interlock standby mode. When circulating water pump 2 of Unit 1 or circulating water pump 4 of Unit 2 fails and trips or has insufficient output, the common standby circulating water pump 3 can be automatically started to ensure the normal operation of the circulating water system of Unit 1 and / or the circulating water system of Unit 2.

[0127] As can be seen from the above description, the automatic control method for the circulating water pump provided in this application can control the operation of each valve in the circulating water system of the intercooled unit, the first unit circulating water pump and the second unit circulating water pump, so that the common standby circulating water pump enters the interlock standby state.

[0128] Step S103: When it is determined by detecting the operating parameters and the status of each valve that the circulating water pump of the first unit or the circulating water pump of the second unit has failed, the common standby circulating water pump in the interlock standby state is started; wherein, the failure includes insufficient output and tripping.

[0129] It is understood that the following embodiments specifically illustrate how to determine whether the circulating water pump of the first unit or the circulating water pump of the second unit has failed by detecting operating parameters and the status of each valve.

[0130] Figure 4 This is a specific embodiment of the automatic control method for circulating water pumps implemented in this application.

[0131] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 The step of starting the common standby circulating water pump, which is in interlocked standby mode, when it is determined by detecting the operating parameters and the status of each valve that the first unit circulating water pump or the second unit circulating water pump has failed, includes:

[0132] S401: By detecting the operating parameters of the first unit's circulating water pump, such as the current and outlet circulating water pressure, and whether the corresponding outlet and inlet gates are all fully open, it is determined whether the first unit's circulating water pump is in a tripped state.

[0133] S402: By detecting the operating parameters of the second unit's circulating water pump, such as the current and outlet circulating water pressure, and whether the corresponding outlet and inlet valves are all fully open, it is determined whether the second unit's circulating water pump is in a tripped state.

[0134] S403: By detecting whether the outlet and inlet gates of the first unit circulating water pump are both fully open, and by detecting whether the circulating water pressure of the outlet main pipe of the first unit circulating water pump is less than a preset threshold after the first unit circulating water pump has been running for a preset time period, it is determined whether the first unit circulating water pump has a power shortage fault.

[0135] S404: By detecting whether the outlet and inlet valves of the second unit circulating water pump are both fully open, and by detecting that the circulating water pressure of the outlet main pipe of the second unit circulating water pump is less than a preset threshold after the second unit circulating water pump has been running for a preset time period, it is determined whether the second unit circulating water pump has a power shortage fault.

[0136] S405: If it is determined that the first unit circulating water pump is in a tripped state, the second unit circulating water pump is in a tripped state, the first unit circulating water pump has a power output failure, or the second unit circulating water pump has a power output failure, control the operation of the common standby circulating water pump to realize the interlocked start of the common standby circulating water pump.

[0137] It is understandable that the interlocking start conditions for the public backup circulating water pump include: (these conditions are related by "OR", meaning that if any one condition is met, the public backup circulating water pump 3 will start.)

[0138] 1) Standby activation: The inlet and outlet valves of Unit 1 and the standby pump are both fully open, and the circulating water pump of Unit 1 trips.

[0139] 2) Standby activation: The inlet and outlet valves of Unit 2 and the standby pump are both fully open, and the circulating water pump of Unit 2 trips.

[0140] 3) Standby activation: The inlet and outlet valves of Unit 1 and the standby pump are both fully open. After the circulating water pump of Unit 1 has been running for 30 seconds, the circulating water pressure p1 < h at the outlet header of the circulating water pump of Unit 1.

[0141] 4) Standby activation: With both the inlet and outlet gates of Unit 2 and the standby pump fully open, after the circulating water pump of Unit 2 has been running for 30 seconds, the circulating water pressure p2 < h at the outlet header of the circulating water pump of Unit 2.

[0142] The value of the setpoint h is determined based on the actual operating conditions of the unit. For example, in one embodiment, h is set to 0.38 MPa. The logical relationship between the above four conditions is an "OR" relationship, meaning that when any one of the above four conditions is met, the controller 1 sends an interlock start signal to the common standby circulating water pump 3.

[0143] As can be seen from the above description, the automatic control method for circulating water pumps provided in this application can determine whether the first unit circulating water pump or the second unit circulating water pump has failed by detecting the operating parameters and the status of each valve, and start the common standby circulating water pump that is in an interlocked standby state when the failure occurs.

[0144] In one embodiment, the automatic control method for the circulating water pump further includes: controlling the first unit circulating water pump to trip when any preset tripping condition of the first unit circulating water pump is met; wherein the tripping condition of the first unit circulating water pump includes: the motor stator coil temperature of the first unit circulating water pump exceeds a threshold, the motor bearing temperature exceeds a threshold, the bearing temperature exceeds a threshold, and the outlet gate is fully closed and not opened after a preset running time.

[0145] It is understandable that the tripping conditions for the circulating water pump of Unit 1 include: (these conditions are related by "OR", meaning that when any one condition is met, the circulating water pump 2 of Unit 1 will perform a protection tripping action.)

[0146] 1) Temperature t of the stator coil of the circulating water pump motor of Unit 1 a1 >e;

[0147] 2) Temperature t of the bearing of the circulating water pump motor of Unit 1 a2 >f;

[0148] 3) Temperature t of the circulating water pump bearing of Unit 1 a3 >g;

[0149] 4) The circulating water pump of Unit 1 is in operation with the inlet valve fully closed and not open;

[0150] 5) After a 10-second delay, the outlet gate of Unit 1's circulating water pump is fully closed and not open.

[0151] The values ​​of e to g are provided by the equipment manufacturer based on the type of water pump and motor and the actual operating conditions. Generally, e > a, f > b, and g > c. For example, in a certain embodiment, a is 130°C, b is 90°C, and c is 90°C. The logical relationship between the above five conditions is "OR", that is, when any one of the above five conditions is met, the controller 1 sends a trip stop signal to the circulating water pump 2 of Unit 1.

[0152] As can be seen from the above description, the automatic control method for the circulating water pump provided in this application can control the first unit circulating water pump to trip when any preset tripping condition of the first unit circulating water pump is met.

[0153] In one embodiment, the automatic control method for the circulating water pump further includes: controlling the second unit circulating water pump to trip when any preset tripping condition of the second unit circulating water pump is met; wherein the tripping condition of the second unit circulating water pump includes: the motor stator coil temperature of the second unit circulating water pump exceeds a threshold, the motor bearing temperature exceeds a threshold, the bearing temperature exceeds a threshold, and the outlet gate is fully closed and not opened after a preset running time.

[0154] It is understandable that the tripping conditions for the circulating water pump protection of Unit 2 include: (these conditions are related by "OR", meaning that when any one condition is met, the circulating water pump 4 of Unit 2 will perform the protection tripping action.)

[0155] 1) Temperature t of the stator coil of the circulating water pump motor of Unit 2 b1 >e;

[0156] 2) Temperature t of the bearing of the circulating water pump motor of Unit 2 b2 >f;

[0157] 3) Temperature t of the circulating water pump bearing of Unit 2 b3 >g;

[0158] 4) The circulating water pump of Unit 2 is in operation with the inlet valve fully closed and not open;

[0159] 5) After a 10-second delay, the outlet gate of Unit 2's circulating water pump is fully closed and not open.

[0160] The values ​​of e to g are provided by the equipment manufacturer based on the type of water pump and motor and the actual operating conditions. Generally, e > a, f > b, and g > c. For example, in a certain embodiment, a is 130°C, b is 90°C, and c is 90°C. The logical relationship between the above five conditions is "OR", that is, when any one of the above five conditions is met, the controller 1 sends a trip stop signal to the circulating water pump 4 of Unit 2.

[0161] As can be seen from the above description, the automatic control method for the circulating water pump provided in this application can control the second unit circulating water pump to trip when any preset tripping condition of the second unit circulating water pump is met.

[0162] In one embodiment, the automatic control method for the circulating water pump further includes: controlling the common standby circulating water pump to trip when any preset tripping condition of the common standby circulating water pump is met; wherein the tripping condition of the common standby circulating water pump includes: the temperature of the standby component exceeds a threshold; the outlet valve is fully closed and not open; in the operating state, the inlet connecting valve between the first unit circulating water pump and the common standby circulating water pump and the inlet connecting valve between the second unit circulating water pump and the common standby circulating water pump are both fully closed and not open; in the operating state, the outlet connecting valve between the first unit circulating water pump and the common standby circulating water pump and the outlet connecting valve between the second unit circulating water pump and the common standby circulating water pump are both fully closed and not open.

[0163] It is understandable that the protection trip conditions for the public backup circulating water pump include: (these conditions are related by "OR", meaning that when any one condition is met, the public backup circulating water pump 3 will perform a protection trip action.)

[0164] 1) Temperature t of the stator coil of the public standby circulating water pump motor c1 >e;

[0165] 2) Temperature t of the motor bearing of the public standby circulating water pump c2 >f;

[0166] 3) Public standby circulating water pump bearing temperature t c3 >g;

[0167] 4) The public standby circulating water pump is in operation, and the inlet gate is fully closed and not open;

[0168] 5) After a 10-second delay, the outlet gate remains fully closed and not open after the public backup circulating water pump has been running.

[0169] 6) The public standby circulating water pump is in operation, the inlet connecting valve between Unit 1 and the standby pump is fully closed and not open, and the inlet connecting valve between Unit 2 and the standby pump is fully closed and not open.

[0170] 7) The public standby circulating water pump is in operation, the outlet connection valve between Unit 1 and the standby pump is fully closed and not open, and the outlet connection valve between Unit 2 and the standby pump is fully closed and not open.

[0171] The values ​​of e to g are provided by the equipment manufacturer based on the type of water pump and motor and the actual operating conditions. Generally, e > a, f > b, and g > c. For example, in a certain embodiment, a is 130°C, b is 90°C, and c is 90°C. The above seven conditions have an "OR" logical relationship, meaning that when any one of the above seven conditions is met, the controller 1 sends a trip stop signal to the common standby circulating water pump 3.

[0172] As can be seen from the above description, the automatic control method for the circulating water pump provided in this application can control the common standby circulating water pump to trip when any preset tripping condition of the common standby circulating water pump is met.

[0173] In one embodiment, the automatic control method for the circulating water pump further includes: setting the first unit circulating water pump to have start-up conditions when all preset start-up conditions for the first unit circulating water pump are met; wherein, the start-up conditions for the first unit circulating water pump include: the temperature of the motor stator coil of the first unit circulating water pump does not exceed a threshold; the temperature of the motor bearing does not exceed a threshold; the bearing temperature does not exceed a threshold; the inlet valve is fully open; the outlet valve is fully closed; and the liquid level in the expansion tank of the indirect cooling tower exceeds a threshold.

[0174] It is understandable that the start-up conditions for Unit 1's circulating water pump include: (These conditions are mutually exclusive, meaning that all conditions must be met simultaneously for Unit 1's circulating water pump 2 to start.)

[0175] 1) Temperature t of the stator coil of the circulating water pump motor of Unit 1 a1 <a;

[0176] 2) Temperature t of the bearing of the circulating water pump motor of Unit 1 a2 <b;

[0177] 3) Temperature t of the circulating water pump bearing of Unit 1 a3 <c;

[0178] 4) The inlet valve of the circulating water pump of Unit 1 is fully open;

[0179] 5) The outlet valve of the circulating water pump of Unit 1 is fully closed;

[0180] 6) The liquid level H1 in the expansion tank of the intercooling tower of Unit 1 is greater than d.

[0181] The values ​​of a to d are provided by the equipment manufacturer based on the type of water pump and motor and the actual operating conditions. For example, in one embodiment, a is 110°C, b is 80°C, c is 80°C, and d is 0.8m. The logical relationship between the above six conditions is an "AND" relationship, meaning that the circulating water pump of Unit 1 is only ready to start when all six conditions are met. If any one condition is not met, the circulating water pump of Unit 1 will be restricted by controller 1 and will not be able to start.

[0182] As can be seen from the above description, the automatic control method for the circulating water pump provided in this application can control the first unit circulating water pump to start when all the preset start-up conditions for the first unit circulating water pump are met.

[0183] In one embodiment, the automatic control method for the circulating water pump further includes: setting the second unit circulating water pump to have start-up conditions when all preset start-up conditions for the second unit circulating water pump are met; wherein, the start-up conditions for the second unit circulating water pump include: the stator coil temperature of the motor of the second unit circulating water pump does not exceed a threshold; the motor bearing temperature does not exceed a threshold; the bearing temperature does not exceed a threshold; the inlet valve is fully open; the outlet valve is fully closed; and the liquid level in the expansion tank of the indirect cooling tower exceeds a threshold.

[0184] It is understandable that the start-up conditions for the circulating water pump of Unit 2 include: (these conditions are related by "AND", meaning that all conditions must be met simultaneously for the circulating water pump 4 of Unit 2 to start.)

[0185] 1) Temperature t of the stator coil of the circulating water pump motor of Unit 2 b1 <a;

[0186] 2) Temperature t of the bearing of the circulating water pump motor of Unit 2 b2 <b;

[0187] 3) Temperature t of the circulating water pump bearing of Unit 2 b3 <c;

[0188] 4) The inlet valve of the circulating water pump of Unit 2 is fully open;

[0189] 5) The outlet valve of the circulating water pump of Unit 2 is fully closed;

[0190] 6) The liquid level H2 in the expansion tank of the intercooling tower of Unit 2 is greater than d.

[0191] The values ​​of a to d are provided by the equipment manufacturer based on the type of water pump and motor and the actual operating conditions. For example, in one embodiment, a is 110°C, b is 80°C, c is 80°C, and d is 0.8m. The above six conditions are logically related by "AND", meaning that the No. 2 unit circulating water pump is ready to start only when all six conditions are met. If any one condition is not met, the No. 2 unit circulating water pump will be restricted by controller 1 and will not be able to start.

[0205] The values ​​of a to d are provided by the equipment manufacturer based on the type of water pump and motor and the actual operating conditions. For example, in one embodiment, a is 110°C, b is 80°C, c is 80°C, and d is 0.8m.
