Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of water distribution optimization of intercooling towers, and in particular relates to a water distribution optimization method and system for reducing the influence of side wind on the performance of intercooling towers. Background Art

[0002] The development of power plant air cooling technology has effectively addressed the geographical constraints of coal-rich, water-scarce northern China. Indirect air cooling, in particular, has been widely adopted in the design and operation of modern power plants due to its inherent advantages, such as water conservation and wind resistance. However, the actual cooling performance of indirect cooling tower systems is significantly affected by environmental factors, especially in crosswind environments. Due to the flow around the cylinder and the influence of surrounding buildings, the ventilation volume in different directions (sectors) will deviate, resulting in changes in the heat dissipation of each sector. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to address the problem of the influence of environmental side wind on the heat dissipation performance of intercooler towers, and to provide a water distribution optimization method and system for reducing the influence of side wind on the performance of intercooler towers, so that the water distribution optimization scheme can be implemented in actual power plants, and is used to solve the problem that the total heat dissipation of intercooler towers is greatly affected by environmental side wind.

[0008] According to the outlet wind speed and outlet wind direction of each sector, the average outlet wind speed of each sector of the intercooling tower is calculated;

[0009] According to the average air density and average wind speed of each sector, the average ventilation volume of each sector within the preset time and the total ventilation volume of the intercooling tower are calculated;

[0010] Based on the calculated average ventilation volume of each sector, if the intercooler is in a windless or weak wind environment, the intercooler maintains equal water distribution; if the intercooler is in a crosswind environment, water distribution optimization is performed.

[0011] Based on the collected circulating water inlet branch flow of each sector, the total circulating water flow of the unit within the preset time is calculated. Combined with the ratio of the average ventilation volume to the total ventilation of the intercooler, the preliminary optimized flow of each sector after optimization is calculated;

[0063] Based on the calculated average ventilation volume of each sector, if the intercooler is in a windless or weak wind environment, the intercooler maintains equal water distribution; if the intercooler is in a crosswind environment, water distribution optimization is performed.

[0064] Based on the collected circulating water inlet branch flow of each sector, the total circulating water flow of the unit within the preset time is calculated. Combined with the ratio of the average ventilation volume to the total ventilation of the intercooler, the preliminary optimized flow of each sector after optimization is calculated;

[0065] The preliminary optimized flow rate is compared with the maximum flow capacity of each sector branch. When the preliminary optimized flow rate is less than the maximum flow capacity of the sector, the preliminary optimized flow rate is the final target flow rate; when a certain preliminary optimized flow rate is greater than the maximum flow capacity of the branch, the part of the flow exceeding the maximum flow capacity will be distributed in sequence according to the size of the optimized flow rate to obtain the final target flow rate, so as to ensure that the final target flow rate is within the maximum flow capacity of each sector.

[0106] The identification module is used to compare the preliminary optimized flow rate with the maximum flow capacity of each sector branch. When the preliminary optimized flow rate is less than the maximum flow capacity of the sector, the preliminary optimized flow rate is the final target flow rate. When a certain preliminary optimized flow rate is greater than the maximum flow capacity of the branch, the part of the flow exceeding the maximum flow capacity is distributed in sequence according to the size of the optimized flow rate to obtain the final target flow rate, so as to ensure that the final target flow rate is within the maximum flow capacity of each sector.
