Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coal-fired power generation, and particularly to a control method for an SCR denitration system adaptable to frequent fluctuations in unit load. Background Art

[0002] Coal-fired units are the "ballast stones" for the safe and stable supply of China's energy. In the future, coal-fired units will undertake more peak shaving and frequency modulation tasks to accommodate more wind energy and solar energy. Therefore, coal-fired units will frequently be in a large variable load range and a fast variable load rate process, which will inevitably affect the safe and stable operation of the denitration system of coal-fired units. In China, there are strict regulations on the NOx concentration and ammonia slip rate at the outlet of the denitration system of coal-fired units.

[0003] Currently, the SCR denitration technology is the most widely used denitration technology in coal-fired power plants. The principle of this technology is to mix ammonia with NOx in the flue gas and carry out an oxidation-reduction reaction under the action of a catalyst to generate N2 and H2O. The required reaction temperature is generally 320 - 400°C. Frequent load changes cause frequent changes in the SCR reaction temperature, which may result in the problem of exceeding the standard or transient exceeding the standard of the NOx concentration at the outlet of the SCR system. The current SCR denitration control method cannot solve this problem well. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a control method for an SCR denitration system adaptable to frequent fluctuations in unit load, introducing the change of the denitration reaction temperature into the denitration control strategy, so as to solve the problem of exceeding the standard or transient exceeding the standard of the NOx concentration at the denitration outlet caused by the denitration temperature fluctuation during the frequent load change process.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A control method for an SCR denitration system adaptable to frequent fluctuations in unit load, using the ammonia injection amount to adjust the NOx concentration at the outlet of the SCR denitration system. The deviation between the NOx concentration at the outlet of the SCR denitration system and the set value of the outlet NOx concentration is obtained through PID calculation to obtain the ammonia injection amount command;

[0007] The feedforward of the ammonia injection amount command consists of three parts. One is the command obtained based on the NOx concentration at the inlet of the SCR denitration system:

[0010] The second one is obtained based on the deviation between the predicted value and the actual value of the SCR reaction temperature:

[0011] Fdd2 = k1·(AIG(x1, x2, x3, x4, x5) - T)

[0013] The third one is obtained based on the change in the flue gas baffle opening of the coal-fired unit:

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] Figure 1 It is the control method diagram of the present invention.

[0028] Figure 2 It shows the change of the NOx concentration at the outlet of the SCR system when the load is reduced from 75% THA to 50% THA under the denitration control method of the present invention, and is compared with the conventional SCR denitration control method. Specific embodiments

[0029] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention proposes a control method for an SCR denitration system adapted to frequent fluctuations in unit load.

[0031] The control target is the NOx concentration at the outlet of the SCR denitration system: the deviation (Δ1) between the NOx concentration at the outlet of the SCR denitration system and the set value of the outlet NOx concentration is obtained through PID calculation to obtain the ammonia injection amount command. The feedforward of the ammonia injection amount command consists of three parts. One is the command obtained based on the NOx concentration at the inlet of the SCR denitration system:

[0032]

[0033] In the formula, Fdd1 is the feedforward 1 of the ammonia injection amount command, mol m -3 ; E NO is the activation energy of the SCR selective reduction reaction, J·mol -1 ; E ox is the activation energy of the redox reaction of the catalyst-adsorbed NH3 itself, J·mol -1 ; R is the ideal gas constant, with the unit J·mol -1 ·K -1 ; T1 is the SCR denitration reaction temperature, K; C NO-in is the NOx concentration at the inlet of the SCR denitration system, mol m -3 ; C NO-out is the NOx concentration at the outlet of the SCR denitration system, mol m -3 ; is the NH3 concentration at the outlet of the SCR denitration system, mol m -3 ; is the pre-exponential factor of the redox reaction of the catalyst-adsorbed NH3 itself, with the unit m 3 ·mol -1 ·s -1 ; is the pre-exponential factor of the SCR selective reduction reaction, with the unit m 3 ·mol -1 ·s -1 ; γ is a correction coefficient and is a constant;

[0034] In the above formula, the value range of T1 is 603.15 - 633.15K; C NO-out The value range is 0.0014 - 0.0018 mol m -3 ; The value range is 0.0001 - 0.0002 mol m -3 ; The value range of γ is 1.4 - 1.8;

[0035] The second is obtained based on the deviation (Δ2) between the predicted value and the actual value of the SCR reaction temperature:

[0036] Fdd2 = k1·(AIG(x1, x2, x3, x4, x5) - T)

[0037] In the formula, Fdd2 is the feedforward 2 of the ammonia injection amount instruction, mol m -3 ; x1 is the unit load rate; x2 is the flue gas baffle opening; x3 is the feed water temperature, °C; x4 is the inlet temperature of the low-temperature reheater, °C; x5 is the intermediate point temperature, °C; The intelligent algorithm AIG includes deep learning algorithms such as BP neural network, LSTM neural network, convolutional neural network, and random forest algorithm. According to the historical operation data of the coal-fired unit, the SCR denitration reaction temperature is predicted by x1, x2, x3, x4, and x5; T is the actual SCR denitration reaction temperature, °C; k1 is an adjustment coefficient, which can be adjusted according to the actual operation conditions;

[0038] In the above formula, during the process of predicting the SCR reaction temperature using the intelligent algorithm AIG, the hysteresis time Δt of each parameter on the change of the SCR denitration reaction temperature is considered, and the specific calculation is as follows:

[0039]

[0040] In the formula, Δt is the hysteresis time of each parameter on the change of the SCR denitration reaction temperature, s; k3, k4, and k5 are calculation coefficients, which can be obtained according to the historical operation data of the coal-fired power station.

[0041] In the above formula, during the process of load change of the coal-fired unit, when the unit load changes to the target instruction, k1 = 0; that is, the feedforward 2 of the ammonia injection amount instruction exits the control logic.

[0042] The third is obtained based on the change of the flue gas baffle opening of the coal-fired unit:

[0043] Fdd3 = k2·Δv

[0044] In the formula, Fdd3 is the feedforward 3 of the ammonia injection amount instruction, mol m -3 ; Δv is the change rate of the flue gas baffle opening of the coal-fired unit; k2 is an adjustment coefficient, which can be adjusted according to the actual operation conditions;

[0045] The change rate of the SCR reaction temperature acts on the ammonia injection command. When the change rate v1 of the SCR reaction temperature < N, the change rate v2 of the ammonia injection amount command is set < M: where N is generally taken as -0.1 to -0.2; M is generally taken as 0.05 to 0.1;

[0046] The SCR denitration control strategy that uses the ammonia injection amount to adjust the NOx concentration at the outlet of the SCR denitration system and the feedforward command is only obtained from the NOx concentration at the inlet of the denitration system is called the original control strategy. The denitration control strategy of the present invention is called the optimized control strategy. Under these two control strategies, during the process of the coal-fired unit reducing from 75% THA operating condition to 50% THA operating condition, the change of the NOx concentration at the outlet of the SCR system is as Figure 2 shown. It can be found that after adopting the optimized control strategy, the problem of transient over-standard of the NOx concentration at the outlet of the SCR system has been better solved.
