Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated detection technology in the air separation industry, and in particular to an energy consumption assessment system and method for a fully condensing steam turbine used to drive an air separation compressor unit. Background Technology
[0002] The air separation industry provides the petroleum and chemical industries with large quantities of cryogenically separated oxygen, nitrogen, and other products. With China's rapid economic development, major industries such as large-scale smelting, petrochemicals, and thermal power have begun large-scale development, making my country the world's most active country in air separation technology development and the country with the most air separation equipment projects. As air separation facilities become larger-scale, condensing steam turbines used to drive air separation compressor units have been widely applied, but this also consumes a significant amount of energy. With the national goal of "carbon neutrality and carbon peaking," higher demands have been placed on the energy consumption of air separation, leading to its development towards higher reliability, larger scale, and lower energy consumption.
[0003] Patent 202010745665.0, "A Method for Testing the No-Load Energy Consumption of a Steam Turbine Generator Set," provides a method for testing the no-load energy consumption of a steam turbine in a thermal power plant. However, it does not address the field of air separation and does not provide an energy consumption assessment method for the stable operation of a fully condensing steam turbine used to drive an air separation compressor unit. Patent 200810055357.4, "Software Platform for Quantitative Analysis of Energy Consumption of Steam Turbine Unit Thermal System," provides software for quantitative analysis of the thermal system of a thermal power unit, capable of locally and quantitatively analyzing the thermal parameters of the steam turbine unit. However, it does not address the energy consumption analysis of fully condensing steam turbine units used to drive air separation compressor units in the field of air separation. Because fully condensing steam turbines used to drive air separation compressor units are complex, mainly including an oil circulation system, process gas system, steam system, condensation system, and control system, data acquisition requires collecting a large amount of various data types. Currently, there is no simple and accurate energy consumption assessment system or method for fully condensing steam turbines used to drive air separation compressor units.
[0004] In summary, designing an energy consumption assessment system and method for a fully condensing steam turbine used to drive an air separation compressor unit, and performing real-time, multi-dimensional, comprehensive data acquisition and processing of the operating equipment, as well as energy consumption assessment, is of great practical significance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide an energy consumption assessment system and method for a fully condensing steam turbine used to drive an air separation compressor unit. This system and method perform comprehensive data acquisition on the fully condensing steam turbine driving the air separation compressor unit, resulting in higher data accuracy and more convincing detection results. At the same time, the data processing module performs energy consumption assessment on the fully condensing steam turbine used to drive the air separation compressor unit, clarifies the direction of energy consumption optimization, and can display the curve of steam consumption of the corrected steam turbine changing over time in real time, providing a more intuitive display for on-site operators.
[0006] The technical problem solved by this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: an energy consumption assessment system and method for a fully condensing steam turbine used to drive an air separation compressor unit.

The data processing module uses a self-designed energy consumption assessment method to judge, select, and calculate the range of the original data. Through the judgment and selection of the data processing module, data with excessive fluctuations or operating data that obviously does not meet the design requirements can be filtered out, thereby improving the accuracy of the calculation results.
[0009] (3) The compressor power calculation unit, turbine power calculation unit, steam energy consumption conversion unit, and energy consumption assessment unit of the data processing module calculate the compressor power, turbine power, and converted steam consumption under the current operating conditions, and assess the actual steam energy consumption of the unit. After the data processing module completes its work, it transmits the data processing results to the data output module.
[0010] (4) The data output module receives the results from the data processing module, completes the classification and storage of the data, and sends the data to the main display screen of the energy consumption assessment system for the fully condensing steam turbine used to drive the air separation compressor unit.
[0011] (5) The main display screen of the energy consumption assessment system for the fully condensing steam turbine used to drive the air separation compressor unit presents real-time data and unit operating energy consumption status in the form of tables and curves.

[0013] Preferably, the specific steps for judging, selecting, and calculating the range of the original data in step (2) are as follows:
[0014] ① Set the high and low range limits for each data signal in the real-time data processing module;
[0015] ② Compare each data signal from the real-time data acquisition module with the high and low limit ranges. If it is within the range, the data is considered reasonable and usable; if it is outside the range, the data is considered unreasonable. Unreasonable data is not included in subsequent calculations.
[0016] ③ Take the average value of each data point over a set time interval.
[0017] Preferably, the calculation steps in step (3) are as follows:

[0028] c h1 :Compressor unit inlet humidity correction factor.
[0029] ②The turbine power calculation unit is used to calculate the turbine power under the current operating conditions:
[0030] H1 = f(P3, T3)
[0031] H2 = f(P4, T4)
[0032] Q = (H1 - H2) × V2
[0033] H1: Enthalpy of steam at the turbine inlet, kJ / kg;

[0035] V2: Steam flow rate at the turbine inlet, kg / s; Q: Internal power of the turbine, kW.
[0036] ③ The steam energy consumption conversion unit is used to calculate the corrected steam consumption of the steam turbine:

[0049] As a preferred option, step (4) of completing the classification and storage of data refers to saving the compressor unit-related parameters and the steam turbine-related parameters to different storage files respectively.
[0050] Preferably, the table in step (5) specifically includes the following contents: compressor inlet temperature T1, compressor outlet temperature T2, compressor inlet pressure P1, compressor outlet pressure P2, compressor inlet humidity H1, compressor inlet flow rate V1, turbine inlet steam flow rate V2, turbine inlet steam temperature T3, turbine inlet steam pressure T3, turbine speed n, turbine exhaust pressure P4, and compressor shaft power N. i The parameters are calculated as follows: turbine internal power Q and turbine energy saving ΔV.
