Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gas turbines, and in particular to a method and system for optimizing and adjusting the outlet temperature of a gas turbine combustion chamber. Background Art

[0002] A gas turbine is a highly efficient thermal energy conversion device. It burns fuel to generate high-temperature, high-pressure gas, which in turn drives the turbine and converts it into mechanical energy. Combustion chamber outlet temperature is a critical parameter in gas turbine operation, significantly impacting overall system efficiency, safety, lifespan, and pollutant emissions. In terms of efficiency, higher combustion chamber outlet temperatures mean more thermal energy can be converted into mechanical energy, thereby improving overall system efficiency. However, this process is not unlimited, as excessively high combustion chamber outlet temperatures can increase thermal stress in materials, impacting the lifespan of the gas turbine. For safety and longevity, the combustion chamber and turbine sections of a gas turbine require materials that can withstand high temperatures, such as nickel-based alloys. Controlling combustion chamber outlet temperature is crucial to ensuring these high-temperature components do not exceed their material limits. Furthermore, a uniform combustion chamber outlet temperature distribution reduces thermal stress and extends component life. Regarding emissions control, while higher combustion chamber outlet temperatures promote more complete combustion and reduce unburned hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide emissions, they can also increase nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. This is because high temperatures promote the reaction between nitrogen and oxygen in the air, producing more NOx.

[0003] In summary, controlling the combustor outlet temperature of a gas turbine is crucial for ensuring high efficiency, safety, environmental friendliness, and economic efficiency of the entire system. Precise control of combustor outlet temperature is crucial for ensuring safe operation of the gas turbine. This precise control not only ensures safe operation but also effectively extends the maintenance cycle and service life of the gas turbine, reducing maintenance costs and improving the economic benefits of the gas turbine.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention is given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary persons in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] Example 1, reference Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a method for optimizing and adjusting the outlet temperature of a gas turbine combustion chamber, including: this scheme uses the combustion chamber inlet pressure P2 and combines it with the combustion chamber pressure loss coefficient to calculate the turbine inlet pressure, and then calculates the turbine inlet temperature T3. The method is simple, feasible, and has high implementation efficiency.

[0044] This scheme does not require experiments. By simply establishing a gas turbine heat balance calculation model and a gas turbine combustion chamber numerical model and using a curve fitting method, the total pressure loss coefficient σ of the gas turbine combustion chamber under different loads can be obtained. c and the specific heat ratio γ of the combustion chamber outlet gas, which improves the calculation accuracy of the turbine inlet temperature.

[0045] This solution can calculate the turbine inlet temperature in real time by retrieving operating parameters such as the combustion chamber inlet pressure P2, turbine exhaust pressure P4, and turbine exhaust temperature T4 from the real-time database of the gas turbine generator set, and compare it with the turbine inlet temperature limit of the gas turbine in real time. According to the distance between the comparison result and the turbine inlet temperature safety threshold α, the IGV opening and fuel flow rate are adjusted in real time to increase the turbine inlet temperature of the gas turbine under partial load, thereby improving the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine cycle.

[0046] This solution makes up for the defect that the turbine inlet temperature of the gas turbine cannot be directly measured, making the turbine inlet temperature control of the gas turbine more accurate. It can improve the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine cycle under low load, and increase the IGV opening under high load, increase the air flow entering the gas turbine, reduce the turbine inlet temperature, prevent turbine blade burning, and improve the safety of gas turbine operation.

[0047] 1) Establish a three-dimensional combustion calculation numerical model for the gas turbine combustor.

[0048] 2) Due to the high temperature of the gas at the combustor outlet of a gas turbine, there are generally no measurement points to directly measure the pressure and temperature of the gas at the combustor outlet. To obtain the combustor inlet and outlet boundary parameters required for the three-dimensional combustion numerical model analysis of the gas turbine combustor, a Thermoflow gas turbine heat balance calculation model was developed using the Thermoflow power plant heat balance analysis software, specifically for the gas turbine model used in gas-fired power plants. The model boundary parameters were set based on historical gas turbine operating data, and the accuracy of the calculation model was verified using historical gas turbine operating data. The verified Thermoflow gas turbine heat balance calculation model was used to calculate the combustor inlet and outlet boundary parameters for the gas turbine from startup to full load operation. Considering that gas turbine pollutant emissions can exceed standards when operating at low load, gas turbine generator sets generally operate between 50% and 100% load. Therefore, the above method is used to calculate the boundary parameters such as the air and fuel mass flow rate, temperature, and combustor outlet pressure at the gas turbine combustor under typical loads of 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100%. The typical load can be selected and determined based on the regular operating load point of the gas turbine power plant. In the three-dimensional combustion calculation numerical model of the gas turbine combustor established in step 1, the combustor inlet and outlet boundary parameters calculated in step 2 are set to calculate the gas pressure field, temperature field, and velocity field of the gas in the gas turbine combustor under typical loads of 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100%.

[0049] 3) According to the calculation results of step 2, the total pressure P2* at the inlet of the gas turbine combustor, the total pressure P3* at the outlet of the combustor and the specific heat ratio γ of the gas at the outlet of the combustor are analyzed and obtained under typical loads such as 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100%. Calculate the total pressure loss coefficient σ of the combustion chamber c .

[0050] 4) Using the curve fitting method, the total pressure loss coefficient σ of the combustion chamber obtained by step 3 is used c and the specific heat ratio of the combustion chamber outlet gas γ, and the relative load as the independent variable, respectively, to obtain the total pressure loss coefficient σ of the combustion chamber cAnd the calculation formula for the specific heat ratio γ of the combustion chamber outlet gas.

[0051] σ c =f(w)

[0052] γ=g(w) (1)

[0053] Where w is the relative load of the independent variable, f(w) is the calculation function of the total pressure loss coefficient of the combustion chamber obtained by fitting, and g(w) is the calculation function of the specific heat ratio of the combustion chamber outlet gas obtained by fitting.

[0054] 5) Using the energy variation characteristics of high-temperature and high-pressure gas expanding and working in the turbine, the calculation formula for the turbine inlet temperature T3 (i.e., the combustion chamber outlet temperature) is established:

[0055]

[0056] Where T4 is the gas turbine exhaust temperature; P2 is the gas turbine compressor exhaust pressure; and P4 is the gas turbine exhaust pressure.

[0057] 6) Obtain the gas turbine exhaust temperature T4, gas turbine compressor exhaust pressure P2, and gas turbine exhaust pressure P4 from the gas turbine generator set operating data, and calculate the turbine inlet temperature T3 by combining formula (1) and formula (2).

[0058] 7) Feedback the calculated turbine inlet temperature T3 and the combustion pressure pulsation data obtained from the gas turbine generator set operation data to the gas turbine control system, and the gas turbine control system makes the following judgments: 1. When T 3r -T3≥α(T 3r is the turbine inlet temperature limit set in the gas turbine control system, α is the turbine inlet temperature safety threshold set in the gas turbine control system), and the combustion pressure pulsation value is less than the alarm value, then the IGV opening is output to reduce by 1%; 2. When T 3r -T3≥α, but the combustion pressure pulsation value is greater than the alarm value, the output is a command to increase the fuel flow by 0.5%; 3. When T 3r -T3<0, then the output is a command to increase the IGV opening by 1%.

[0059] 8) After executing the control command issued by the gas turbine control system in step 7, the turbine inlet temperature is calculated in real time, and combined with the changes in the combustion pressure pulsation data, new IGV and fuel flow control commands are generated immediately until the turbine inlet temperature T3 is higher than T 3r -α value, so that the turbine inlet temperature T3 is as close as possible to the turbine inlet temperature limit T under safe conditions 3r , improve the thermal efficiency of gas turbine power generation.

[0060] The above is a schematic diagram of a method for optimizing and adjusting the combustor outlet temperature of a gas turbine according to this embodiment. It should be noted that the system technical solution of this method for optimizing and adjusting the combustor outlet temperature of a gas turbine is based on the same concept as the technical solution of the aforementioned method for optimizing and adjusting the combustor outlet temperature of a gas turbine.

[0073] Example 2, reference Figure 2-Figure 7 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention, provides a method for optimizing and adjusting the outlet temperature of a gas turbine combustion chamber. In order to verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through experiments.

[0074] 1) A gas power plant uses a 9FA gas turbine and uses UG modeling software to build a three-dimensional solid model of the gas turbine combustion chamber. Figure 2 , the solid model established by UG was meshed using ANSYS commercial software, and a three-dimensional numerical model of the combustion chamber was constructed. Figure 3 .

[0075] 2) Using Thermoflow power plant heat balance analysis professional software, a 9FA gas turbine heat balance calculation model was established. According to the historical operation data of the gas turbine, the calculation model inlet atmospheric pressure was set to 1.001 bar, the atmospheric temperature was set to 21.49 ° C, the relative humidity was set to 79%, and the load was set to 100%. The calculation results are shown in Figure 4The power plant's gas turbine operating data indicates that the combustor inlet air pressure is 15.5 bar and the temperature is 400°C. The pressure and temperature calculated by Thermoflow are 15.46 bar and 399.8°C, respectively, verifying the accuracy of the established Thermoflow gas turbine heat balance calculation model. Given that the gas turbines of a certain gas-fired power plant typically operate at loads of 50%, 65%, 80%, 95%, and 100%, these loads were used as typical loads. The verified Thermoflow gas turbine heat balance calculation model was used to calculate the combustor inlet and outlet boundary parameters under these typical loads. At 50% load, the combustor inlet air temperature is 358°C, the flow rate is 341.6 kg / s, the combustor inlet fuel temperature is 185°C, the flow rate is 9.054 kg / s, and the combustor outlet pressure is 10.12 bar. At 65% load, the air temperature at the combustor inlet was 374°C, the flow rate was 385 kg / s, the fuel temperature at the combustor inlet was 185°C, the flow rate was 10.674 kg / s, and the combustor outlet pressure was 11.59 bar.

At 100% load, the combustion chamber inlet air temperature is 399.8°C, the flow rate is 493 kg / s, the combustion chamber inlet fuel temperature is 185°C, the flow rate is 13.77 kg / s, and the combustion chamber outlet pressure is 14.88 bar.

[0076] 3) Based on the combustion chamber inlet and outlet boundary parameters calculated in step 2, the three-dimensional numerical model of the combustion chamber established in step 1 is used to calculate the flow field parameters such as pressure, temperature, and velocity of the gas turbine combustion chamber under typical loads of 50%, 65%, 80%, 95%, and 100%. Some of the results are shown in Figures 5 to 7 , read the combustion chamber inlet total pressure P2* and combustion chamber outlet total pressure P3* from the numerical calculation results, and use the formula The total pressure loss coefficient σ of the combustion chamber under typical loads such as 50%, 65%, 80%, 95% and 100% is calculated respectively. c The specific heat ratio γ of the combustion chamber outlet gas under typical loads of 50%, 65%, 80%, 95% and 100% are 1.33087, 1.31899, 1.28342, 1.28386 and 1.28393 respectively.

[0077] 4) Using the curve fitting method, the total pressure loss coefficient σ of the combustion chamber obtained by step 3 is used c and the specific heat ratio of the combustion chamber outlet gas γ, and the relative load as the independent variable, respectively, to obtain the total pressure loss coefficient σ of the combustion chamber c And the calculation formula for the specific heat ratio γ of the combustion chamber outlet gas.

[0078] σ c =0.004w+0.036 0.5≤w≤1.0 (3)

[0079]

[0080] Where w is the relative load of the independent variable.

[0081] 5) Establish the calculation formula for turbine inlet temperature T3 (i.e. combustion chamber outlet temperature):

[0082]

[0083] Among them, T4 is the gas turbine exhaust temperature; P2 is the gas turbine compressor exhaust pressure; P4 is the gas turbine exhaust pressure.

[0084] 6) From the real-time database of a power plant's F-class gas turbine generator set, it is obtained that when the generator set power is 90% load, the combustion chamber inlet pressure P2 is 1.56MPa, the turbine exhaust pressure P4 is 0.105357MPa, and the turbine exhaust temperature T4 is 860K.
