[0033] Clearly, the embodiments described are only a part of all the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

As used in the specification and the appended claims of the present application, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0036] The terms "comprise" and "include" indicate the presence of the described features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof.
[0037] The term "and / or" means any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations thereof, and includes these combinations.
[0038] Embodiment one:
[0039] Referring to Figure 1 , the coal-fired power unit boiler ash conveying energy consumption monitoring system of the present embodiment comprises a compressed air main pipe 1, a plurality of ash conveying pipelines 2, valves 3, a plurality of silo pumps 4, an ash silo 5, and a plurality of pressure gauges 6. At least one silo pump 4 is connected to each ash conveying pipeline 2, forming a plurality of parallel ash conveying branches, and one end of the plurality of parallel ash conveying branches is connected to the compressed air main pipe, and the other end is connected to the ash silo 5. A pressure gauge 6 is installed downstream of each silo pump 4, and a first pressure gauge 6 is installed at the inlet end of each ash conveying branch close to the compressed air main pipe 1. The valve 3 of each ash conveying branch is installed between the first pressure gauge 6 and the silo pump 4 closest to the first pressure gauge 6. The inlet end of the compressed air main pipe 1 is provided with a pressure gauge 6 and is connected to an air compressor.
[0040] In specific implementation, the pressure gauges need to measure the ash conveying pressure value when the ash conveying system is blocked, so as to determine the blocked position. Since the ash concentration in the ash conveying pipeline is high after the pipe is blocked, it is easy to block the pressure taking pipe of the pressure testing device, so the selected pressure gauges 6 need to have a structure to prevent fly ash from blocking.
[0041] At the same time, the pressure gauges 6 are selected to be installed downstream of the respective silo pumps and at the bends of the respective ash conveying pipes where dust is prone to accumulate, which facilitates subsequent calculation of the ash conveying energy consumption and real-time monitoring of the positions of the pressure gauges 6.
[0042] As a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, the ash conveying energy consumption monitoring system further comprises flow meters 7 and thermometers 8, and the flow meters 7 and thermometers 8 are installed at the installation positions of all the pressure gauges 6 in the ash conveying energy consumption monitoring system.
[0043] In actual use, the installation positions of the flow meters depend on the starting positions at which the energy consumption needs to be calculated, and normally the energy consumption is calculated from the outlet of the air compressor, but in general the air compressor has other gas supply tasks, so the flow meters 7 need to be installed at the starting position of the ash conveying main pipe, i.e., the compressed air main pipe 1, so the installation position of the flow meter 7 on the compressed air main pipe 1 is as shown in FIG. 2. Figure 1
[0044] At the same time, the flow rate needs to be measured at each calculation point, and in order to ensure the accuracy of the monitoring results, flow meters 7 and thermometers 8 are installed at all the pressure gauges 6, and all the flow meters 7, thermometers 8 and pressure gauges 6 are installed at the same positions, so that the parameters measured are the parameters of the same positions.
[0045] As a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, a level meter 9 is further arranged in the ash silo 5, and the level meter 9 is used to detect the fly ash inventory in the ash silo 5.
[0046] In actual use, the fly ash inventory in the ash silo 5 is monitored according to the level meter 9, and the level meter 9 is connected to an alarm device, so that when the fly ash reaches a certain height or quantity, the level meter sends a reminder signal, thereby completing the timely cleaning of the fly ash in the ash silo 5.
[0047] As a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, an atmospheric pressure gauge is installed at the air compressor, which is used to detect the atmospheric pressure value near the air compressor.
[0048] In specific implementation, the atmospheric pressure value generally does not change, and in calculation of the ash conveying energy consumption, a fixed value is generally taken, but if a large change in the atmospheric pressure value is found, the corresponding value needs to be changed in calculation.
[0049] Embodiment Two
[0050] A method for evaluating the ash conveying energy consumption of a boiler of a thermal power unit, the evaluation method comprising the following steps:
[0051] Based on the ash conveying energy consumption monitoring system of the boiler of the thermal power unit, real-time ash conveying pressure values at the calculation points are obtained according to the pressure gauges on the respective ash conveying branches under different ash conveying conditions .
[0052] Real-time atmospheric pressure values are obtained using a barometer and various flow meters. and the average flow rate at each calculation point ;
[0053] Using real-time ash conveying pressure value and real-time atmospheric pressure values and the average flow rate at each calculation point Calculate the energy consumption of the entire ash conveying system. ;
[0054] Using the temperature and average flow rate at each calculation point Calculate the air consumption at each calculation point. .
[0055] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the different ash conveying situations include simultaneous ash conveying by multiple ash conveying branches and separate ash conveying by each ash conveying branch; under different ash conveying situations, the pressure gauge can be activated in the following ways:
[0056] When multiple ash conveying branches are conveying ash simultaneously, pressure gauges upstream and downstream of each silo pump are used to measure the ash conveying pressure at each silo pump point.
[0057] When ash is conveyed separately on each ash conveying branch, the ash conveying pressure value of the ash conveying branch is measured by the first pressure gauge on each ash conveying branch that is close to the compressed air main pipe.
[0058] In practice, when ash is conveyed separately on each ash conveying branch, the following should be activated: Figure 1 The pressure gauges at points A, B, and C shown can be used to open and close each ash conveying branch by using valves on each ash conveying branch. This allows multiple ash conveying branches to work simultaneously or each ash conveying branch to work separately.
[0059] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the real-time ash conveying pressure value is utilized. and real-time atmospheric pressure values and the average flow rate at each calculation point Calculate the energy consumption of the entire ash conveying system. The specific steps are as follows:
[0060]
[0061] In the formula, Here, m represents the energy consumption for ash conveying, and m represents the number of discrete calculation points. Let i be the average flow rate at the i-th calculation point. The time interval for calculating the i-th point is... Atmospheric pressure; There are two possible values for this value. The first is when multiple ash conveying branches are conveying ash simultaneously. The first method represents the ash conveying pressure at the i-th calculation point; the second method is when each ash conveying branch conveys ash separately. This represents the ash conveying pressure of each ash conveying branch.
[0062] In practical implementation, one point to note is that the number of discrete calculation points m is mostly discrete data in the computer. Multiple points in the computer can be merged and averaged into one point for calculation, which can reduce the amount of calculation.
[0063] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the compressed air density at each calculation point is utilized. and average flow Calculate the air consumption at each calculation point. The specific steps are as follows:
[0064]
[0065] In the formula, M is the air volume. Let be the compressed air density at the i-th calculation point.
[0066] In practice, since the air consumption required at each point can be calculated in advance, and the real-time air consumption at each point can be calculated based on real-time parameters, the two can be compared to find out if there are any abnormalities in the operation of the ash conveying system. Combined with the structure of the ash conveying system, the faults of the ash conveying system can be quickly detected and resolved.

[0068] This embodiment discloses an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the program, it implements a method for evaluating the ash conveying energy consumption of a thermal power unit boiler as described in any embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] A computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements a method for evaluating the ash conveying energy consumption of a thermal power unit boiler as described in any embodiment of the present invention.
