Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of natural gas flow detection technology, specifically to a performance calibration system, apparatus, equipment, and method for hydrogen-containing natural gas volumetric flow meters. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrogen-blended natural gas for transportation refers to the technology of adding a certain concentration of hydrogen to existing natural gas pipeline systems to form a hydrogen-natural gas mixture for transport. Natural gas blending with hydrogen has been recognized by the International Energy Agency as a hydrogen energy storage and transportation method with great development potential, and is considered an important means to achieve energy conservation, emission reduction, and large-scale hydrogen transportation.

[0003] Currently, there is a lack of effective methods and technologies for measuring hydrogen-containing natural gas. In actual production processes, the measurement methods and standards for conventional natural gas are directly applied. However, directly applying the measurement standards for conventional natural gas will lead to measurement errors.

[0004] Therefore, how to accurately calibrate the flow meter used for metering hydrogen-blended natural gas has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a performance calibration system for a hydrogen-containing natural gas volumetric flow meter. This system can obtain relevant data for calculating the error of the flow meter used for metering hydrogen-blended natural gas. Based on the relevant data, the actual volumetric flow rate of the hydrogen-blended natural gas can be calculated to obtain the error of the flow meter used for metering hydrogen-blended natural gas.

[0006] In addition, the present invention also provides a performance calibration device and method for hydrogen-containing natural gas volumetric flow meter. The error of the flow meter used for measuring hydrogen-blended natural gas is calculated by acquiring relevant data, and the flow meter used for measuring hydrogen-blended natural gas is adjusted based on the error, so as to solve the problem of measurement deviation in existing flow meters when measuring hydrogen-containing natural gas.

[0007] In addition, the present invention also provides an apparatus for performing a performance calibration method for a hydrogen-containing natural gas volumetric flow meter.

[0008] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0009] A performance calibration system for a hydrogen-containing natural gas volumetric flow meter includes a hydrogen pipeline, a natural gas pipeline, and a hydrogen-containing gas transmission pipeline, wherein the outlet ends of the hydrogen pipeline and the natural gas pipeline are connected to the inlet end of the hydrogen-containing gas transmission pipeline.

[0010] The hydrogen pipeline is equipped with a first standard mass flow measurement unit for detecting the mass flow rate of hydrogen.

[0011] The natural gas pipeline is equipped with a second standard mass flow measurement unit for detecting the mass flow rate of natural gas.

[0012] The hydrogen-containing gas pipeline is equipped with a volumetric flow meter to be calibrated for detecting the mass flow rate of hydrogen-containing natural gas. The hydrogen-containing gas pipeline is also equipped with a density measuring unit, a first pressure measuring unit, and a first temperature measuring unit for detecting the gas density, pressure, and temperature of hydrogen-containing natural gas, respectively.

[0013] The present invention can calculate the hydrogen blending ratio of hydrogen-containing natural gas (hydrogen-blended natural gas) by using the first standard mass flow measurement unit and the second standard mass flow measurement unit.

[0014] This invention calculates the compressibility factor of the volumetric flow meter to be calibrated by obtaining the gas density, pressure, and temperature of hydrogen-containing natural gas. Then, the actual flow rate of the hydrogen-blended natural gas (i.e., the calculated value of the volumetric flow rate after calibration of the volumetric flow meter) can be calculated using the compressibility factor. The difference between the measured value and the calculated value of the volumetric flow meter is the error of the volumetric flow meter in measuring hydrogen-containing natural gas. Based on this error, the volumetric flow meter can be calibrated, thus solving the problem of measurement deviation in existing flow meters when measuring hydrogen-containing natural gas.

[0015] Furthermore, the inlet end of the hydrogen-containing gas transmission pipeline is provided with a gas mixing zone for buffering gas fluctuations. The gas mixing zone can be a pipe with a diameter larger than that of the hydrogen-containing gas transmission pipeline, or it can be of other shapes.

[0020] The control unit adjusts the flow rate of the first valve and the second valve according to the received hydrogen doping ratio to achieve the set hydrogen doping ratio.

[0021] Furthermore, the sampling and analysis unit is located at the inlet end of the hydrogen-containing gas pipeline.

[0022] Furthermore, the hydrogen pipeline is equipped with a second pressure measuring unit and a second temperature measuring unit for detecting hydrogen pressure and temperature, respectively.

[0026] The hydrogen blending ratio calculation module calculates the hydrogen blending ratio based on the mass flow rate of hydrogen and natural gas collected by the data acquisition unit.

[0027] The compressibility factor calculation module calculates the compressibility factor for the corresponding hydrogen blending ratio based on the gas density, pressure, and temperature of the hydrogen-containing natural gas collected by the data acquisition unit.

[0028] The volumetric flow rate calculation module calculates the actual volumetric flow rate of hydrogen-containing natural gas based on the compressibility factor and the volumetric flow rate algorithm; this is the volumetric flow rate count value after calibration of the volumetric flow rate meter to be calibrated.

[0029] Furthermore, it also includes: an error calculation module, which calculates the measurement error based on the actual volumetric flow rate calculated by the volumetric flow rate calculation module and the measured volumetric flow rate measured by the volumetric flow meter to be calibrated.

[0035] Furthermore, before proceeding to step S4, the following steps are also included:

[0036] Obtain the compressibility factor for multiple different hydrogen doping ratios;

[0037] By fitting multiple compression factors, compression factor curves are obtained;

The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

Flowcharts are used in this specification to illustrate the operations performed by a system according to embodiments of this specification. It should be understood that preceding or subsequent operations are not necessarily performed in exact order. Instead, the steps can be processed in reverse order or simultaneously. Furthermore, other operations can be added to these processes, or one or more steps can be removed from these processes.

[0057] Example 1:

The outlet ends of the hydrogen pipeline and the natural gas pipeline are connected to the inlet end of the hydrogen-containing gas transmission pipeline. The hydrogen pipeline, the natural gas pipeline, and the hydrogen-containing gas transmission pipeline constitute a pipeline assembly, which is used to simulate the transportation environment of hydrogen-containing natural gas.

[0059] The hydrogen pipeline is used to import hydrogen, and the natural gas pipeline is used to import natural gas.

[0060] The hydrogen pipeline is equipped with a first standard mass flow rate measuring unit 3 for detecting the mass flow rate of hydrogen; the natural gas pipeline is equipped with a second standard mass flow rate measuring unit 12 for detecting the mass flow rate of natural gas.

The hydrogen-containing gas pipeline is also equipped with a density measuring unit 7, a first pressure measuring unit 8, and a first temperature measuring unit 10 for detecting the gas density, pressure, and temperature of hydrogen-containing natural gas, respectively.

[0063] Specifically, density measuring unit 7 is a gas density tester; first pressure measuring unit 8 is a gas pressure gauge; and first temperature measuring unit 10 is a thermometer.

[0064] In this embodiment, the hydrogen mass flow rate and natural gas mass flow rate collected by the first standard mass flow rate measurement unit 3 and the second standard mass flow rate measurement unit 12 can be used to calculate the hydrogen blending ratio of hydrogen-containing natural gas; the gas density, pressure and temperature of hydrogen-containing natural gas obtained by the density measurement unit 7, the first pressure measurement unit 8 and the first temperature measurement unit 10 can be used to calculate the compressibility factor of the volumetric flow meter to be calibrated, and then the actual flow rate of the hydrogen-blended natural gas can be calculated using the compressibility factor. The difference between the measured value and the calculated value of the volumetric flow meter to be calibrated is the error of the volumetric flow meter to be calibrated when measuring hydrogen-containing natural gas.

[0068] If the hydrogen doping ratio data obtained by the sampling and analysis unit 5 does not meet the set hydrogen doping ratio, the control unit 15 controls the flow rate of the first valve and the second valve 11 to achieve the set hydrogen doping ratio.

[0069] The sampling and analysis unit 5 can be used for online or offline detection. When online detection is used, the sampling and analysis unit 5 includes a branch pipe connected to the hydrogen-containing gas pipeline, which is connected to an online detection device that can detect the hydrogen blending ratio. When offline detection is used, and a valve is installed on the branch pipe, the sampling and analysis unit 5 includes a sampling port and a detection device that can detect the hydrogen blending ratio.

The gas mixing zone 6 is used to buffer gas fluctuations. The gas mixing zone 6 is a circular pipe with a diameter larger than that of the hydrogen-containing gas pipeline. That is, the gas mixing zone 6 is located at the front end of the density measurement unit 7, the first pressure measurement unit 8 and the first temperature measurement unit 10.

[0080] Preferably, it also includes: an error calculation module, which calculates the measurement error based on the actual volumetric flow rate calculated by the volumetric flow rate calculation module and the measured volumetric flow rate measured by the volumetric flow rate meter 9 to be calibrated.

[0081] Example 3:

[0082] like Figure 3 As shown, a method for calibrating the performance of a hydrogen-containing natural gas volumetric flow meter, based on the hydrogen-containing natural gas volumetric flow meter performance calibration device described in Example 2, includes the following steps:

[0083] S1. Obtain the hydrogen mass flow rate, natural gas mass flow rate, gas density of hydrogen-containing natural gas, pressure of hydrogen-containing natural gas, and temperature of hydrogen-containing natural gas;

[0084] S2. Calculate the hydrogen blending ratio based on the mass flow rate of hydrogen and natural gas obtained in step S1, using the mass ratio.

[0085] The specific formula for the hydrogen doping ratio is:

[0086]

[0087] Where X represents the hydrogen doping ratio, q m1 q represents the hydrogen mass flow rate data. m2 Natural gas mass flow rate data;

[0088] S3. Based on the gas density, pressure, and temperature of the hydrogen-containing natural gas obtained in step S1, calculate the compressibility factor for the corresponding hydrogen blending ratio using the compressibility factor algorithm.

[0089] The specific formula for the compression factor algorithm is as follows:

[0090]

[0091] Where Z represents the compressibility factor, P represents the pressure, T represents the temperature, ρ represents the density, and R represents the proportionality constant;

[0092] For any ideal gas, R is constant and approximately 8.31441 ± 0.00026 J / (mol·K);

[0093] S4. Substitute the compression factor data obtained in step S3 into the volumetric flow rate algorithm to obtain the corrected volumetric flow rate count value of the volumetric flow meter to be calibrated.

[0094] The specific formula for the volumetric flow rate algorithm is as follows:

[0095]

[0096] Where V represents the corrected volumetric flow rate of the volumetric flow meter to be calibrated, Z represents the compressibility factor, P represents the pressure, T represents the temperature, and R represents the proportionality constant.

[0097] Preferably, before incorporating the compressibility factor data into the volumetric flow rate algorithm, the following steps are also included:

[0098] Obtain the compressibility factor for multiple different hydrogen doping ratios;

[0099] By fitting multiple compression factors, compression factor curves are obtained;

[0100] Based on the compression factor curve, the compression factor data at the predetermined hydrogen doping ratio is obtained.

[0101] By fitting the compressibility factor data under multiple different hydrogen doping ratios, a compressibility factor curve can be obtained. From the compressibility factor curve, the compressibility factor under any hydrogen doping ratio can be obtained. Substituting this curve into the volumetric flow rate algorithm, the standard volumetric flow rate count value of the volumetric flow meter to be calibrated under any hydrogen doping ratio can be obtained.

[0102] In this embodiment, the compressibility factor is 1 under ideal gas conditions, but it is not 1 under different pressures, temperatures, and composition conditions. The calibration method in this embodiment yields accurate compressibility factor values ​​under different hydrogen doping ratios and pressures, resulting in a compressibility factor data table or curve. By embedding this data table or curve into the flowmeter volumetric flow rate calculation program, an accurate flowmeter volumetric flow rate can be obtained.

[0103] Then, the calculated volumetric flow rate count value is compared with the actual count value of the volumetric flow meter to be calibrated, thereby adjusting the count of the volumetric flow meter to be calibrated so that its actual count value is consistent with the volumetric flow rate count value obtained by the solution.
