[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of equipment fault prediction and diagnosis, and in particular to an equipment reliability maintenance method and system for a smart power plant. Background Art

[0002] Faced with a development environment in which electricity demand growth is slowing and the proportion of new energy installed capacity is increasing, power companies need to accelerate the change of their extensive management model, shift from factor growth to innovation-driven growth, promote institutional innovation, management innovation, and technological innovation, and cultivate and form new growth advantages through innovation.

It carries out four major application constructions: unified supervision of smart power plant fleets, performance analysis and optimization, equipment reliability maintenance, and safe production management. It improves the power plant's intelligent construction capabilities in terms of data services, governance, visual recognition, integrated linkage, unit performance analysis, expert guidance and mutual assistance, early warning, and decision-making model building.

[0004] At present, the number of unplanned downtime hours that can be achieved by the reliability maintenance method of equipment in power plants no longer meets the requirements of power plants.

Lubrication treatment is performed, the remaining available time of the valve is calculated, and the valve opening control system is repaired. If normal operation cannot be restored, the TCA cooler condenser and feed water pump are diagnosed as the valve core of the gas turbine TCA cooler valve is detached or the internal valve core of the feed water pump valve is worn, the inner seal of the valve is aged, and the seal is not tight;

[0026] After diagnosing the cause of the fault, the power plant personnel are promptly reminded through real-time alarms. The unprocessed information that is still in alarm is displayed on the agent alarm interface, which is divided into rule alarms, model alarms, DCS, TCS, settlement, fire protection, temperature and humidity.

[0042] The present invention is described in detail with reference to schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of the present invention, for the sake of convenience, the cross-sectional diagrams showing the device structure will not be partially enlarged according to the general scale, and the schematic diagrams are only examples, which should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] Reference Figure 1 , which is an embodiment of the present invention, provides a device reliability maintenance method for a smart power plant, comprising:

[0047] S1: Obtain real-time equipment operation data, clean the data, and perform data quality analysis.

[0048] Furthermore, data quality analysis includes: dead value diagnosis, fluctuation diagnosis, threshold diagnosis, and gradient diagnosis.

[0049] It should be noted that data cleaning realizes effective filtering of system access data, improves data quality, and ensures the effectiveness and accuracy of fault alarms.

[0050] It should also be noted that the dead value diagnosis is when the parameter has not changed within the specified time or number of acquisitions, and is judged as a dead point abnormality; the threshold diagnosis is when the parameter exceeds the effective range and is judged as invalid range data; the fluctuation diagnosis is when the parameter fluctuation range exceeds the set value within the specified time or number of acquisitions, and is judged as excessive fluctuation; the gradient judgment is when the parameter changes faster than the set value within the specified time or number of acquisitions, and is judged as too fast fluctuation.

[0051] S2: Combine the cleaned data and equipment information to perform digital modeling of the equipment.

[0052] Furthermore, digital modeling of equipment includes equipment type modeling, production process structure modeling, twin modeling, factory modeling, unit modeling, professional modeling, system modeling and equipment modeling.

[0053] It should be noted that equipment type modeling is the definition of a certain type of equipment functional structure, including equipment attributes, structure diagrams, components, monitoring parameters, vibration parameters, diagnostic analysis models, and evaluation index configuration. The main function of equipment type modeling is model standardization management and model reuse. For example, by defining the high-pressure feedwater pump equipment type model, the platform can quickly instantiate it into #2 turbine high-pressure feedwater pump and #4 turbine high-pressure feedwater pump.

[0054] It should also be noted that the production process structure modeling is used to construct the hierarchical relationships among units, specialties, systems, systems, and equipment of different power generation process types, such as the gas turbine generator set model and the waste heat generator set model. As templates for specific power plant entity units, this embodiment is used to complete the rapid construction of the #1 gas turbine generator set, #2 steam turbine generator set, #3 gas turbine generator set, and #5 steam turbine generator set of Zhuhai Power Plant.

[0055] Furthermore, twin modeling is responsible for building a structured digital model that includes characteristic parameters, operating conditions, mechanism diagnosis, parameter warning, equipment status evaluation, etc. of the unit equipment based on the basic template of the equipment type model and production process structure model.

[0056] It should be noted that the factory modeling creates a model of the power plant under the system gas and electricity group node. When an alarm is triggered, the location of the equipment can be displayed, and its connected equipment can be displayed in the node to issue early warnings to other equipment to prevent chain failures.

[0057] It should also be noted that unit modeling is based on unit level, maintenance condition mode, fault diagnosis model, comprehensive evaluation model and other key information to display the fault level. If multiple equipment failures occur, higher-level units are prioritized for maintenance or overhaul.

[0058] Furthermore, professional modeling is based on the professional level to maintain major models such as fault diagnosis model and comprehensive evaluation model.

[0059] It should be noted that system modeling is the digital modeling of process systems such as gas turbine systems, waste heat boiler systems, steam turbine systems, and electrical systems. It specifically includes the configuration of system operating conditions, system fault diagnosis models, system comprehensive evaluation models, and operation reports.

[0060] It should also be noted that equipment modeling is based on the equipment level, maintaining key information such as basic equipment configuration, diagnostic analysis, vibration analysis, indicator analysis, diagnostic reports, and operation reports, and conducting detailed analysis of individual equipment.

[0061] S3: The fault warning and diagnosis model makes judgments and issues warnings based on the equipment digital model and historical fault data.

[0062] Furthermore, the fault warning and diagnosis model includes: parameter warning model, equipment evaluation model and rule engine.

[0063] It should be noted that the parameter warning models include: thrust bearing temperature exceeding standard warning model, compressor surge warning model, reheat steam temperature difference excessive warning model, and high-pressure steam drum electric control valve jamming warning model.

[0064] It should also be noted that early warning includes:

[0065] If the temperature difference between the inner and outer walls of the high-pressure regulating valve is greater than 80°C, or the temperature difference between the upper and lower inner walls of the medium-pressure steam inlet is greater than 80°C, or the temperature difference between the inner and outer walls of the upper flange on the left is greater than 80°C, or the temperature difference between the inner and outer walls of the upper flange on the right is greater than 80°C, or the temperature difference increase rate is ≥30°C / h, then the thrust bearing temperature exceeds the standard warning condition; if the cover vibration of the steam turbine is greater than 50μm, or the cover vibration is between 40-50μm and the increase rate is ≥30μm / h, or the vibration value of the condenser pump of the condenser is greater than 4.5mm / s, then the compressor surge warning condition is met ; If the second-stage steam extraction hydraulic valve is opened and the opening is greater than 20%, the desuperheating water regulating valve is closed, and the steam temperature difference before and after the desuperheater is greater than 100°C, then the reheat steam temperature difference excessive warning condition is met; if the opening on the condenser side of the TCA cooler is <5% and the deviation between the fitting value and the actual value of the opening on the boiler side of the TCA cooler is >10% or the flow after the recirculation valve is >0, one pump is running, and the feed pump outlet flow is >40t / h, then the high-pressure steam drum series electric regulating valve is stuck. Warning condition.

[0066] Furthermore, the temperature difference between the inner and outer walls of the high-pressure regulating valve, the temperature difference between the upper and lower inner walls of the medium-pressure steam inlet, and the temperature difference between the inner and outer walls of the upper flange should all be lower than 80°C. The temperature difference of conventional steam turbines is generally set lower than 50°C, because for every 10°C increase in temperature difference, the radial clearance of the lower part of the regulating stage decreases by about 0.1mm. The radial clearance of the diaphragm seal of the high-pressure steam turbine is relatively small, generally 0.4-0.7mm, so the temperature difference of the cylinder wall is usually stipulated not to exceed 50°C, but our invention selects the three parts for calculation, which are thicker, 3-4 times the cylinder wall, and can withstand a higher temperature difference. The temperature of these three positions is easier to measure, and it is more dangerous to place the thermometer in the cylinder wall. Therefore, these three parts are selected. When the temperature difference exceeds 80°C, the thermal expansion of the inner side is large and the thermal expansion of the outer side is small, then each cross section along the axial direction of the cylinder will produce bending deformation, with the two ends bending outward and the middle bending inward. Because the vertical rigidity of the cylinder is small, under the action of this deformation force, the horizontal parts at both ends of the cylinder are stretched and become horizontal elliptical, and the flange is open inward. After being in this extruded state for a long time, when the cylinder body returns to a cold state, an inward opening will appear on the cylinder joint surface, causing equipment damage. If the equipment heats up too quickly, exceeding 30℃ / h, the flange gasket green shell paper will not be able to fully fit the equipment, affecting its insulation effect.

[0067] It should be noted that turbine cover vibration generally occurs when the warm-up time is insufficient, the speed is increased or the load is too fast, resulting in uneven heating of the cylinder. If it exceeds 50μm or the cover vibration is close to 50μm but the speed is ≥30μm / h, there may be problems with cylinder deformation or misaligned center. If the vibration value of the condenser pump of the condenser is greater than 4.5mm / s, there must be resonance, which will cause the operating frequency of the equipment to change. If the condenser pump support is not reinforced at this time, the condenser pump will be displaced, causing danger.

[0068] It should also be noted that when the second-stage steam extraction hydraulic valve is open and the opening degree is greater than 20%, it represents the heating supply status. Normally, when no cooling water is put into use, the temperature difference before and after the desuperheater is below 100. When it exceeds 100 and is maintained for a long time, it indicates internal leakage.

[0069] Furthermore, when the side opening is less than 5%, the condenser side of the TCA cooler is fully closed, and the historical data of the flow rate of TCA to the boiler side is used to predict the valve opening. Under normal operating conditions, the deviation between the actual value of the valve opening and the fitted value does not exceed 10%.

[0070] It should be noted that if the outlet flow rate of the water supply pump is greater than 40t / h, it indicates normal operation. During normal operation, there is no internal leakage. However, if there is flow in the recirculation valve, it means that the recirculation valve is not tightened or has fallen off. When this phenomenon occurs, the equipment needs to be directly repaired. The flow rate of the recirculation valve is not large, and there is little or no water in the pump. The heat generated by the sliding friction of the centrifugal impeller cannot be completely carried away by the water, causing the temperature in the pump to rise, the water to vaporize, and cavitation to form, causing serious damage to the equipment and impeller.

[0071] Further, the diagnosis includes:

[0072] If there is a warning that the thrust bearing temperature exceeds the standard and no adjustment is made, and the temperature difference drops below 80°C, the degradation level of the equipment is calculated, as well as the remaining usable time of the equipment and components. It is diagnosed as a hot spot couple failure, excessive load changes, and too large a difference between the steam entering the cylinder and the cylinder body temperature. The temperature difference does not drop below 80°C, and is diagnosed as a safety failure. The faulty parts are checked and replaced, and the remaining usable time of the remaining components is calculated.

[0073] If a compressor surge warning occurs and no control is performed, and the turbine cover vibration drops below 50μm, the degradation level of the equipment is calculated, as well as the remaining usable time of the equipment and components. It is diagnosed as insufficient turbine cranking time, cover vibration not dropping below 50μm, or condenser pump vibration value greater than 4.5mm / s. It is diagnosed as loose turbine cover fastening screws, uneven heating of bearings, or resonance of the condenser pump at its natural frequency. The turbine needs to be maintained with replacement bearings and condenser pump bearings, and the remaining usable time of the remaining components is calculated.

[0074] If a warning of excessive reheat steam temperature difference appears, diagnose that the internal valve core of the steam turbine low-pressure heating desuperheater valve is worn, the inner seal of the valve is aged, and the seal is not tight. Check its safety and replace the faulty parts, and calculate the remaining usable time of the remaining parts.

[0075] If there is a warning of jamming of the high-pressure steam drum electric regulating valve, the opening changes below 5%, and the deviation between the fitting value and the actual value of the opening on the boiler side of the TCA cooler can be reduced to 10%, it is diagnosed as valve jamming or the control valve opening setting and feedback are inconsistent. Lubrication treatment is performed, the remaining available time of the valve is calculated, and the valve opening control system is repaired. If normal operation cannot be restored, the TCA cooler condenser and feed water pump are diagnosed as the valve core of the gas turbine TCA cooler valve is detached or the internal valve core of the feed water pump valve is worn, the inner seal of the valve is aged, and the seal is not tight.

[0076] It should be noted that after diagnosing the cause of the fault, the power plant personnel are promptly reminded through real-time alarms, and the unprocessed information that is still in alarm is displayed on the agent alarm interface, which is divided into rule alarms, model alarms, DCS, TCS, settlement, fire protection, temperature and humidity. The operation and maintenance personnel handle the agent alarms according to the actual alarm situation.

[0077] Example 2

[0078] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for maintaining equipment reliability in a smart power plant. To verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is performed through economic benefit calculation and practical application.

[0079] As shown in the table, this is a comparison table of the trial effects of the present invention in Zhuhai Power Plant. It was put into trial operation on December 10, 2021, and the data is as of May 31 of the following year.

[0080] By implementing equipment reliability maintenance, fault warning and diagnosis, optimizing system operating parameters, shortening start-up and shutdown time, and reducing comprehensive gas consumption. As of May 31, the comprehensive gas consumption rate was 0.1966m3 / KWh, lower than last year's gas consumption level of 0.1977m3 / KWh; calculated based on the same power generation, it is equivalent to a reduction of 684,000 cubic meters in gas consumption and a 0.14% increase in power generation efficiency.

[0081] Equipment reliability maintenance, combining early warning equipment with historical fault information to provide scientific decision-making basis for key equipment maintenance, changing passive maintenance to predictive maintenance; online intelligent and offline knowledge base diagnosis for 5 types of pump equipment to effectively prevent the expansion of equipment failures. It is estimated that the daily inspection and maintenance costs will be reduced by 4.242 million yuan throughout the year (including 206,000 yuan in direct maintenance costs and 4.036 million yuan in indirect benefits). The daily maintenance expenditure for the whole year of 2021 is 40.843 million yuan, which is expected to decrease by 10.4% in 2022 compared with 2021.

[0082] Through the implementation of equipment fault early warning and diagnosis, and equipment reliability assessment, equipment reliability has been significantly improved, and the number of non-stop hours of the two units has dropped significantly. In 2021, the two units of Zhuhai Power Plant had a total of 130.667 non-stop hours throughout the year, and a total of 3.1 hours of non-stop hours as of May 31 this year. In the same period last year, the total non-stop hours was 41.47 hours, a year-on-year decrease of 92.5%.
