Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of hydropower station turbine governors, and relates to a test turbine governor with wide speed range regulation function and method. Background Technology
[0002] The turbine governor is the core control device of the hydro-generator, and its main function is to achieve closed-loop regulation of the unit's speed. Generally, the governor's speed control target is 50Hz or the grid frequency signal. Before the hydro-generator unit is dismantled during a major overhaul, according to regulations, it is necessary to complete operating condition tests of the unit at different speeds to provide important data support for subsequent verification of the unit's maintenance quality. Currently, the operation method involves power plant operators manually opening the guide vanes from the on-site control panel. Once the unit speed rises to the corresponding speed point, the guide vanes are kept under manual control. At this time, the unit speed is purely open-loop regulated. This method has the following shortcomings: 1. The unit's frequency regulation range is small, lacking low-speed and high-speed regulation functions; 2. The unit speed is regulated in an open-loop manner, resulting in unstable and inaccurate speed regulation; 3. When the speed deviates from the target value, the guide vane frequency needs to be manually adjusted to stabilize it, resulting in high labor costs.
[0003] In existing solutions, the speed governor has an automatic speed adjustment function, but the target adjustment value is 50Hz or the grid frequency, and the frequency is set with adjustment limits, generally 45Hz-55Hz. Low speed control can only be achieved by manually operating the guide vanes.
[0004] The unit's speed regulation range is limited, and automatic frequency control cannot be achieved beyond a certain speed range. Current frequency regulation only tracks the grid frequency or 50Hz, and the frequency regulation range is only set to 48-52Hz under no-load disturbance conditions. PID control strategies are lacking for speed ranges other than the set speed regulation range. Water hammer suppression functionality is also absent. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a turbine governor and method with wide speed range adjustment function for testing, so as to accurately adjust the speed of the turbine generator unit under different speed adjustment before the overhaul of the turbine generator unit, and at the same time verify the operating conditions of the unit in the low speed range and obtain accurate test parameters.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a turbine governor with wide speed range adjustment function for testing, comprising a PID module electrically connected to a frequency setting module and a frequency measurement module, a guide vane setting module electrically connected to the PID module, a guide vane setting module and a guide vane measurement module electrically connected to a guide vane control module, and an electro-hydraulic conversion module, a guide vane module and a unit speed module electrically connected in sequence after the guide vane control module; the unit speed module is electrically connected to the frequency measurement module; before the overhaul of the turbine generator unit, the speed of the unit is precisely adjusted under different speed regulation conditions, and the operating conditions of the unit in the low speed range are verified to obtain accurate test parameters.
[0007] The frequency setting module is also electrically connected to the frequency setting limit module.
[0008] Set the frequency difference threshold module before the PID module.
[0009] The PID module is also electrically connected to the PID parameter module and the water hammer limiting module.
[0010] The guide vane setting module is also electrically connected to the opening limit module.
[0011] The speed regulation method of the turbine governor with wide speed range regulation function used in the experiment, as described above, includes the following steps:
[0012] S1, the frequency measurement module acquires the unit frequency signal F and completes the per-unit f0;
[0013] S2, the frequency setting module meets the wide speed range adaptive adjustment range of 0-100Hz for the hydro-generator set; if 10-75Hz is selected, no calculation will be performed if the set value exceeds this threshold range; after the set value SF is input, it is consistent with the frequency measurement and is standardized to the same unit sf0; the frequency setting and frequency setting limit data source are taken from the governor cabinet touch screen or the power station monitoring system.
[0014] S3, the frequency difference threshold module calculates the frequency difference = frequency setting - frequency feedback, Δf = sf0 - f0; when the frequency difference exceeds the frequency threshold, PID calculation starts, and the threshold is manually modified.
[0015] S4, the PID module calculates the guide vane setpoint based on the frequency difference, Ypid=Yp+Yi+Yd; where the governor PID parameters Kp, Ki, and Kd are selected as the optimal control parameters based on the current unit head and opening degree;
[0016] S5, the water hammer limiting module changes the rate of change of the guide vane PID, reducing the water hammer effect formed in the water intake pipe at the moment of guide vane action;
[0017] S6, the guide vane measurement module measures the guide vane opening of the turbine servo unit. The change in guide vane opening is expressed in unit Y, and its dimension is consistent with Ypid.
[0018] S7, the opening limit module constrains the guide vane's range of motion, serving as a backup protection function, Limit{10%≤Ypid≤75%};
[0019] S8, the difference between the guide vane setpoint module and the guide vane measurement module is ΔY=Ypid-Y. When the guide vane deviation ΔY exceeds the threshold, the guide vane adjustment is started. After the deviation value is calibrated, it is converted into the control current output to the electro-hydraulic conversion device through the guide vane control module; a current of 4~20mA is used to drive the proportional valve.
[0020] S9 achieves precise frequency regulation of the turbine generator set Y→F by changing the guide vanes.
[0021] The adjustment deviation protection is implemented so that when the frequency exceeds the set frequency range x, the guide vanes remain in a shutdown strategy. x can be set manually, typically ±0.5Hz. After the speed is stabilized, if the deviation between the guide vane setting and feedback exceeds the positive value of the range g, there are two scenarios: First, when the deviation between the guide vane setting and feedback is greater than g, the speed controller reports a guide vane adjustment fault, and the guide vanes are manually controlled, remaining stationary. Second, when the deviation between the guide vane setting and feedback is less than -g, the speed controller reports a guide vane adjustment fault, and the guide vanes are fully closed to prevent the unit from running out of speed. The value of g is set manually, typically 1%. The deviation protection is not activated during startup.
[0022] In manual mode, the guide vanes are adjusted to the target speed. After the unit frequency stabilizes, the automatic frequency adjustment is enabled. In automatic mode, a slow start-up strategy is adopted, and the guide vane setting is increased or decreased in a certain step. The guide vane changes are stable and smooth, avoiding the unit frequency from exceeding the adjustment range. After the unit frequency stabilizes, the automatic frequency adjustment is enabled.
[0023] The main beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0024] Before the overhaul of the hydro-generator unit, the unit's speed is precisely adjusted under different speed regulation conditions, and the operating conditions of the unit in the low speed range are verified to obtain accurate test parameters.
[0025] The speed controller has an automatic adjustment function under low or high frequency conditions.
[0026] For testing purposes, the speed controller's corresponding functions are deactivated during non-testing periods, and can be activated or deactivated as needed before testing. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0031] like Figures 1-2 In this study, a test turbine governor with wide-range speed regulation function was developed.
[0032] Example 1,
[0033] like Figure 1 The system includes a PID module 3 electrically connected to a frequency setting module 1 and a frequency measurement module 2; a guide vane setting module 4 electrically connected to the PID module 3; a guide vane setting module 4 and a guide vane measurement module 5 electrically connected to a guide vane control module 6; and an electro-hydraulic conversion module 7, a guide vane module 8, and a unit speed module 9 electrically connected in sequence after the guide vane control module 6; the unit speed module 9 is electrically connected to the frequency measurement module 2.
[0034] Example 2,
[0035] like Figure 1 middle,
[0036] The frequency setting module 1 is also electrically connected to the frequency setting limit module 11.
[0037] PID module 3 is preceded by frequency difference threshold module 31.
[0038] The PID module 3 is also electrically connected to the PID parameter module 32 and the water hammer limiting module 33.
[0039] The guide vane setting module 4 is also electrically connected to the opening limit module 41.
[0040] Example 3,
[0041] like Figure 1 The speed regulation method of the turbine governor with wide speed range regulation function used in the experiment, as described above, includes the following steps:
[0042] S1, Frequency measurement module 2 acquires the unit frequency signal F and completes the per-unit f0;
[0043] S2, the frequency setting module 1 meets the wide speed range adaptive adjustment range of 0-100Hz for the hydro-generator set; if 10-75Hz is selected, no calculation will be performed if the set value exceeds this threshold range; after the set value SF is input, it is consistent with the frequency measurement and is standardized to the same unit sf0; the frequency setting and frequency setting limit data source are taken from the governor cabinet touch screen or the power station monitoring system.
[0044] S3, the frequency difference threshold module 31 calculates the frequency difference = frequency setting - frequency feedback, Δf = sf0 - f0; when the frequency difference exceeds the frequency threshold, PID calculation starts and the threshold is manually modified.
[0045] S4, PID module 3 calculates the guide vane setpoint based on the frequency difference, Ypid=Yp+Yi+Yd; where the governor PID parameters Kp, Ki, and Kd are selected as the optimal control parameters based on the current unit head and opening degree;
[0046] S5, the water hammer limiting module 33 changes the rate of change of the guide vane PID to reduce the water hammer effect formed in the water pipe during the moment of guide vane action.
[0047] S6, Guide vane measurement module 5 measures the opening of the guide vane of the turbine servo unit. The per unit of the guide vane opening change is Y, and the dimension is consistent with Ypid.
[0048] S7, the opening limit module 41 constrains the operating range of the guide vane, serving as a backup protection function, Limit{10%≤Ypid≤75%};
[0049] S8, the difference between guide vane setting module 4 and guide vane measurement module 5 is △Y=Ypid-Y. When the guide vane deviation △Y exceeds the threshold, the guide vane adjustment is started. After the deviation value is calibrated, it is converted into the control current output to the electro-hydraulic conversion device through the guide vane control module 6; a current of 4~20mA is taken to drive the proportional valve.
[0050] S9 achieves precise frequency regulation of the turbine generator set Y→F by changing the guide vanes.
[0051] Before a major overhaul of the hydro-generator unit, precise speed adjustment is performed at different speeds to verify the unit's operating conditions in the low-speed range and obtain accurate test parameters. The governor has an automatic adjustment function under low-frequency or high-frequency conditions. Used for testing, the corresponding function of the governor is deactivated during non-testing periods; it can be activated or deactivated as needed before testing.
[0052] Example 4,
[0053] like Figure 1In the process of adjusting the deviation protection, when the frequency exceeds the set frequency range x, the guide vanes remain in the shutdown strategy. x can be set manually, generally ±0.5Hz. After the speed is stabilized, when the deviation between the guide vane setpoint and feedback exceeds the positive value of the range g, there are two situations: First, when the deviation between the guide vane setpoint and feedback is greater than g, the speed controller reports a blade adjustment fault, the guide vanes are manually controlled, and the guide vanes remain stationary; Second, when the deviation between the guide vane setpoint and feedback is less than -g, the speed controller reports a blade adjustment fault, the guide vanes are fully closed to prevent the unit from running away with the speed. The value of g is set manually, taking 1%. The deviation protection is not activated during startup.
[0054] like Figure 1 In the manual mode, the guide vanes are adjusted to the target speed. After the unit frequency stabilizes, the automatic frequency adjustment is enabled. In the automatic mode, a slow start-up strategy is adopted. The guide vane setting is increased or decreased in a certain step size. The guide vane changes are stable and smooth, avoiding the unit frequency from exceeding the adjustment range. After the unit frequency stabilizes, the automatic frequency adjustment is enabled.
[0055] like Figure 2 In existing technologies, speed governors have automatic speed adjustment functions, but the target adjustment value is 50Hz or the grid frequency, and the frequency is set with adjustment limits, typically 45Hz-55Hz. Low-speed control can only be achieved by manually operating the guide vanes. In this application, a frequency setting limit module 11 is set after the frequency setting module 1; a frequency difference threshold module 31 is set before the PID module 3; the PID module 3 is also connected to the PID parameter module 32 and the water hammer limit module 33; the guide vane setting module 4 is connected to the opening limit module 41; thereby enabling precise speed adjustment of the unit under different speed settings, while verifying the unit's operating conditions in the low-speed range and obtaining accurate test parameters.
