Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of liquid pumps, and in particular to a circulating water pump control method and system based on real-time power optimization. Background Art

[0002] Central heating is a common heating method in winter. Heating companies input high-temperature media, such as water or steam, into the primary network. After heat exchange at the heat exchange station, the heat is transferred to the secondary network and finally transmitted to the user's room. There are two main heat sources used by heating companies, one is the waste heat from the power plant, and the other is boiler heating. The latter is currently the main heat source. The boiler can heat the water in the primary network to about 130 degrees Celsius. After heat exchange in the heat exchanger, the return water of the primary network is about 70 degrees Celsius. These return waters are transported to the boiler again through the circulating water pump and heated again, realizing the recycling of water.

[0003] Although coal-fired boilers still account for a large proportion of all boilers, cleaner and more economical energy sources are gradually being applied to heating. These emerging energy sources have the advantages of being renewable, low-pollution and cheap, and the application of these energy sources is expected to reduce the costs of heating companies. However, after the addition of new energy sources, it is necessary to adjust the existing coal-fired boiler usage strategy, especially the state control of the circulating water pump.

[0174] The heat exchanger is installed in the heat exchange station. The hot water with a temperature of about 130 degrees Celsius output by each boiler is input into the heat exchanger through the water supply circulation pump, and the heat is transferred to the secondary network. The temperature is reduced to about 70 degrees Celsius, forming return water and returning to the input end of the boiler, realizing the recycling of water.

[0175] During the power supply process, the voltage detection unit and the current detection unit will detect the voltage and current of the boiler respectively, determine the real-time power based on the voltage and current, and compare the real-time power with the rated power. If the real-time power exceeds the rated power, the current will be limited to reduce the real-time power to the rated power or below. While ensuring that the real-time power of the electric boiler does not exceed the rated power, the product of the current and voltage of the electric boiler is used as the corresponding real-time power. The coal-fired boiler itself has a certain heating power, and in subsequent work, the coal-fired boiler will continue to work at the set power. The purpose of this application is to achieve the regulation of the flow of each water supply circulation pump without actively changing the power of each boiler.

[0176] S110, determining the control flow rates of the first water supply circulating water pump 100, the second water supply circulating water pump 200 and the third water supply circulating water pump 300 according to the set power, the first real-time power and the second real-time power, and obtaining the first control flow rate, the second control flow rate and the third control flow rate respectively; wherein the first water supply circulating water pump 100, the second water supply circulating water pump 200 and the third water supply circulating water pump 300 are respectively connected to the output ends of the coal-fired boiler, the first electric boiler and the second electric boiler.

[0177] Exemplarily, when the present application determines the first control flow, the second control flow and the third control flow, the ratio of the set power, the first real-time power and the second real-time power is first determined, and then the total flow is divided into the first control flow, the second control flow and the third control flow according to the ratio; wherein the total flow is the sum of the flows of the first water supply circulating water pump 100, the second water supply circulating water pump 200 and the third water supply circulating water pump 300.

[0178] The above-mentioned total flow rate can remain unchanged under any circumstances. At this time, in order to ensure that the heat output through the heat exchanger remains unchanged, the return water temperature of each boiler will also remain unchanged, so the temperature difference between the supply and return water is maintained at about 60 degrees Celsius. Of course, the total flow rate can also change to a certain extent, but it is necessary to ensure that the heat output through the heat exchanger remains unchanged. At this time, it is necessary to appropriately reduce the temperature difference between the supply and return water when the total flow rate increases, and reducing the temperature difference can be achieved by increasing the control flow rate of each water supply circulating water pump. When the flow rate of the water supply circulating water pump increases, the total flow rate will increase, but when the power of the boiler remains unchanged, the temperature difference between the boiler output water and the input water will decrease, that is, when the return water temperature remains unchanged or slightly reduced, the supply water temperature will be greatly reduced, achieving the purpose of reducing the supply and return water temperature difference.

[0179] Regardless of whether the total flow rate changes, the total flow rate will be the sum of the flow rates of each water supply circulating pump.

[0180] Furthermore, the input ends of the coal-fired boiler, the first electric boiler and the second electric boiler are respectively connected to the first return water circulation pump 110, the second return water circulation pump 210 and the third return water circulation pump 310, and the flow rates of the first return water circulation pump 110, the second return water circulation pump 210 and the third return water circulation pump 310 are respectively the same as the first supply water circulation pump 100, the second supply water circulation pump 200 and the third supply water circulation pump 300. When the flow rates of the supply water circulation pump and the return water circulation pump of the corresponding boilers are kept consistent, it can be ensured that the water level in each boiler remains unchanged.

[0181] S120, controlling the first water supply circulating water pump 100, the second water supply circulating water pump 200 and the third water supply circulating water pump 300 to operate according to the first control flow rate, the second control flow rate and the third control flow rate respectively.

[0182] Exemplarily, the first water supply circulating water pump 100, the first return water circulating water pump 110, the second water supply circulating water pump 200, the second return water circulating water pump 210, the third water supply circulating water pump 300, and the third return water circulating water pump 310 can all adopt variable frequency pumps, and each circulating water pump controls the water pump speed through its own variable frequency controller, thereby adjusting the flow rate.

[0183] S130, after the first real-time power and the second real-time power change, establish an objective function with the goal of minimizing the sum of flow rate changes of the first water supply circulating water pump 100, the second water supply circulating water pump 200 and the third water supply circulating water pump 300.

[0184] The heat added per unit time by the boiler output water relative to the input water is equal to the heating power of the boiler. When the supply and return water temperatures remain unchanged, the temperature difference Δt i The temperature is 60 degrees Celsius, and the specific heat capacity and density of water are known (the specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 × 10^3 J / (kg·°C), and the density of water is 1×10^3kg / m 3 ) These constraints can be expressed as:

[0185]

[0186] S140, solving the objective function to obtain the first regulated flow rate, the second regulated flow rate and the third regulated flow rate of the first water supply circulating water pump 100, the second water supply circulating water pump 200 and the third water supply circulating water pump 300 respectively.

[0187] For example, a genetic algorithm can be used to solve the objective function. When using a genetic algorithm to solve the problem, multiple populations are first generated according to a set step size, each population is a combination of the regulated flow rates of all water supply circulation pumps, and then the populations are sequentially selected, crossed, and mutated, and the population that satisfies the objective function after processing is taken as the optimal population.

[0188] Specifically, the regulated flow in each population will meet all constraints, and the difference between any two regulated flows of the same circulating water pump is a positive integer multiple of the step size. When using the selection process in the genetic algorithm, first calculate the fitness value of each population, which is calculated based on the objective function, and then select a few populations with the largest fitness values ​​to enter the next step of crossover processing. In the crossover process, individuals in two populations will be randomly exchanged to form a new population. In the mutation process, individuals in the population will be modified to a certain extent. After completing a selection, crossover and mutation process in sequence, an iteration is completed. When the number of iterations reaches the set value, the population with the highest fitness value is output as the optimal population.

[0189] After adopting the heritage algorithm, the diversity of the population can be improved as much as possible, the sample space for selecting the optimal population is increased, and the accuracy of the optimal sample is improved.

[0190] S150, controlling the first water supply circulating water pump 100, the second water supply circulating water pump 200 and the third water supply circulating water pump 300 to operate according to the first regulated flow rate, the second regulated flow rate and the third regulated flow rate respectively.

[0191] For example, similar to controlling the flow rate, the purpose of regulating the flow rate of the water supply circulating water pump can be achieved by adjusting the frequency conversion controller of each water supply circulating water pump.
