Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydropower station unit control technology, specifically to a hydropower station unit control method and system based on LCU control. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of industrial control technology and IT technology, the automation system of hydropower stations has evolved from "centralized control and decentralized functions" to "hierarchical distributed control", and then to the currently popular "automation, unmanned operation and intelligence". All of these systems have adopted computer system control to replace the conventional control methods of the past, realizing a centralized monitoring method of "unmanned operation, closed operation and network control", which has greatly improved the automation level and operational efficiency of hydropower stations.
[0003] Currently, industrial control technology and IT technology can seamlessly connect various control devices in hydropower stations through standard and open TCP / IP protocols and gigabit Ethernet technology, enabling high-speed data transmission and real-time control. The operation and control of hydropower station units are becoming increasingly important. Traditional hydropower station unit control methods mainly use PID controllers, but the parameters of this method need to be continuously adjusted and optimized, requiring a lot of time and effort. The response speed is slow, which cannot meet the requirements of high-speed operation, and the stability is poor, making it susceptible to external interference.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a hydropower station unit control method based on LCU control, which has high dynamic response capability and high stability, and can realize automatic adjustment of system parameters, thereby reducing human intervention in the system, effectively improving the working performance of the unit, and enhancing the stability of the unit. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.
[0006] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is proposed.
[0007] Therefore, the technical problem solved by this invention is that existing hydropower station unit control methods mainly use PLC control, which has a slow response speed, cannot meet the requirements of high-speed response, has low reliability, is prone to failure, affects the normal operation of the unit, and has poor flexibility in PLC control, which cannot meet the control requirements in different scenarios.
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a hydropower station unit control method based on LCU control, comprising:
[0009] Test the unit's start-up conditions and proceed with the start-up process;
[0010] Perform steady-state assessment to determine if there are any abnormal conditions in the unit and implement corresponding protective measures.
[0011] Based on the unit's LCU water turbine protection trip matrix and the unit's LCU program protection trip matrix, protective measures are implemented for the unit.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the LCU-based hydropower station unit control method of the present invention, the detection of unit start-up conditions includes:
[0013] Determine the status of the LCU unit, unit outlet circuit breaker, disconnector, excitation system, governor, governor hydraulic device, butterfly valve and hydraulic system, protection device, braking system, speed device, abnormal signal, PT working position and accident signal. If all of the above statuses pass the test, the unit is considered ready to start. If any one of the tests fails, stop the subsequent tests, diagnose the fault, resolve the fault, and then re-test the start-up conditions.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the LCU-based hydropower station unit control method of the present invention, the steady-state determination includes:
[0015] Steady-state judgment during shutdown, no-pressure steady-state judgment, no-load pressurized steady-state judgment, and grid-connected steady-state judgment: During unit operation, various parameters of the unit are monitored and analyzed to determine whether the unit is in a steady-state operating state. If it is determined to be in a non-steady-state state, the unit is shut down for adjustment and maintenance. If it is determined to be in a stable state, the hydropower station unit is operating normally. If the parameter situation cannot be determined, it is reported to the operation and maintenance personnel for testing, determining the cause of the fault, and analyzing the fault log and monitoring data. If the fault log has a solution, steady-state control is implemented. If the fault log does not have a solution, the problem of parameter instability is saved for maintenance personnel to maintain.

[0022] When the water turbine is judged to have stopped due to an accident and the shear pin is broken, the protection trip type is water turbine emergency shutdown.
[0023] As a preferred embodiment of the LCU-based hydropower station unit control method described in this invention, the unit LCU program protection trip matrix includes:

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of the LCU-based hydropower station unit control method of the present invention, the unit protection measures include:
[0027] Install overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, temperature, and leakage current protectors. When the water cooling system of the hydropower station unit detects an abnormality, activate the LCU water turbine protection trip matrix for protection.
[0028] When the hydropower station unit control system detects an abnormality, it activates the LCU program protection trip matrix for protection.
[0029] When other systems of the hydropower station unit malfunction, the installed protectors, the unit LCU turbine protection trip matrix, and the unit LCU program protection trip matrix are activated to attempt to resolve the malfunction. If the malfunction is resolved, the malfunction details are recorded in the fault log. When the same malfunction occurs again, the same protection trip matrix is used for protection.

In order to verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through economic benefit calculation and simulation experiment.
[0103] In this embodiment, a specific application experiment of the method of the present invention was conducted. Under the same pre-set experimental environment, five sets of experiments were carried out on the existing conventional method and the method of this embodiment, respectively. The specific experimental results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0110] The maximum latency of the proposed method is lower than that of traditional methods, which proves that the proposed method is effective and reduces the detection waiting time.
[0111] As shown in Table 2, the detection accuracy of traditional method 1 is the lowest at 85.7% and the average accuracy is 87.12%, the detection accuracy of traditional method 2 is the lowest at 79.5% and the average accuracy is 84.54%, the detection accuracy of traditional method 3 is the lowest at 84.8% and the average accuracy is 87.78%, and the detection accuracy of the method of this invention is the lowest at 96.5% and the average accuracy is 97.84%. The detection accuracy of the method in this invention is higher than that of traditional methods, which proves that the method in this invention reduces operation and maintenance management costs, improves detection quality, and reduces labor costs.
[0112] The comparative experiments above demonstrate that the method of this invention significantly reduces latency compared to existing technologies, thus reducing the time spent; at the same time, it greatly reduces the error rate while maintaining real-time performance.
[0113] For the algorithm in the above embodiments, the probability of occurrence is used as an evaluation variable to measure the accuracy of the algorithm.
[0114] from Figure 3-4 It can be seen that when the rated speed exceeds 1%, the probability of unit creep is 97%, and unit creep is likely to occur. Statistical analysis of the time when the rated speed exceeds 1% shows that when the rated speed exceeds 1% for more than 10 seconds, the probability of creep is 98%, which is finally determined as the condition for judging unit creep.
[0115] from Figure 5-6 It can be seen that when the rated speed is less than 1%, the accuracy rate of judging the steady state of the shutdown is 97%, and when the unit voltage Uab is less than 1KV, the final accuracy rate of judging the steady state of the machine is 99%.
[0116] from Figures 7-8 It can be seen that when the rated speed exceeds 95%, the accuracy rate for judging the no-load steady state, the no-load pressurized steady state, and the grid-connected steady state is 96%. Combined with the unit voltage, when the unit voltage Uab < 1KV, the accuracy rate for judging the no-load steady state is 97%, and when the unit voltage Uab > 9.5KV, the accuracy rate for judging the no-load pressurized steady state and the grid-connected steady state is 98%.
[0117] Based on the experimental results, when the rotational speed ≥ 1%Ne exceeds 10 seconds, it is determined that the unit is in creep mode; when the unit speed < 1%Ne and the unit voltage Uab < 1KV, it is determined to be in a shutdown steady state; when the unit speed > 95%Ne and the unit voltage Uab < 1KV, it is determined to be in an idling, no-pressure steady state; when the unit speed > 95%Ne and the unit voltage Uab > 9.5KV, it is determined to be in an no-load, pressurized steady state; and when the unit speed > 95%Ne and the unit voltage Uab > 9.5KV, it is determined to be in a grid-connected steady state.

If the parameter situation cannot be determined, it is reported to the operation and maintenance personnel for testing, determining the cause of the fault, and analyzing the fault log and monitoring data. If the fault log has a solution, steady-state control is implemented. If the fault log does not have a solution, the problem of parameter inability to determine the cause is saved for maintenance personnel to maintain. If the steady-state judgment fails and the speed ≥1%Ne exceeds 10 seconds, it is determined that the unit creep has occurred, and the unit is immediately shut down for inspection and maintenance. The shutdown steady-state judgment includes: the unit's output circuit breaker GCB is open, the unit speed is <1%Ne, and the unit voltage Uab is <1KV; The no-voltage steady-state judgment includes the tripping of the unit's outlet circuit breaker GCB, the unit speed > 95%Ne, and the unit voltage Uab < 1KV. The no-load and voltage steady-state judgment includes the tripping of the unit's outlet circuit breaker, the unit speed > 95%Ne, and the unit voltage Uab > 9.5KV; The grid-connected steady-state judgment includes the following conditions: the unit's outlet circuit breaker is closed, the unit speed is >95%Ne, and the unit voltage Uab is >9.5KV. The unit's LCU water turbine protection trip matrix includes: water turbine accident shutdown and water turbine emergency shutdown; When the unit's bearing temperature is too high and the electrical protection trips, the protection trip type is water turbine accident shutdown. When the water turbine is judged to be shut down due to an accident and the shear pin is sheared, the protection trip type is water turbine emergency shutdown; The unit LCU program protection trip matrix includes: When a water turbine protection failure occurs and the unit's voltage fluctuation exceeds the threshold, the protection trip type is programmed accident shutdown. When a program-induced shutdown occurs and the shear pin breaks, the protection trip type is program-emergency shutdown. The measures to protect the generator unit include: Install overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, temperature, and leakage current protectors. When the water cooling system of the hydropower station unit detects an abnormality, activate the LCU water turbine protection trip matrix for protection. When the hydropower station unit control system detects an abnormality, it activates the LCU program protection trip matrix for protection. When other systems of the hydropower station unit malfunction, the installed protectors, the unit LCU turbine protection trip matrix, and the unit LCU program protection trip matrix are activated to attempt to resolve the malfunction. If the malfunction is resolved, the malfunction details are recorded in the fault log. When the same malfunction occurs again, the same protection trip matrix is used for protection.
2. The LCU control based hydro power plant generator control method as claimed in claim 1, wherein, The startup conditions for the testing unit include: Determine the status of the LCU unit, unit outlet circuit breaker, disconnector, excitation system, governor, governor hydraulic device, butterfly valve and hydraulic system, protection device, braking system, speed device, abnormal signal, PT working position and accident signal. If all of the above statuses pass the test, the unit is considered ready to start. If any one of the tests fails, stop the subsequent tests, diagnose the fault, resolve the fault, and then re-test the start-up conditions.
