Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of safety prevention and control of special equipment, and in particular to an intelligent prediction method for creep damage of a final superheater of a power station boiler. Background Art
[0002] Power station boilers are equipment that uses thermal energy such as coal, gas, and biomass to heat water or other media into steam for power generation. They are in service for a long time under high temperature and high pressure, and will inevitably produce local creep, fatigue and other damage, causing equipment failure. The final stage superheater is a typical pressure-bearing component of power station boilers. Once a failure occurs, it will not only cause a large amount of maintenance costs to the enterprise, reduce production efficiency and economic benefits, but also cause safety accidents and casualties.
[0003] A Chinese invention patent document with publication number CN114970241A discloses a method for predicting creep damage of high-temperature pressure-bearing structures. This method determines the creep rate based on the temperature and stress level of the material, thereby conducting creep damage of the material, simplifying the traditional creep assessment method. However, this method is essentially assessing the damage, not predicting the damage, and cannot predict the creep damage state of the material in the future.
[0004] The existing creep prediction method uses temperature stress data to evaluate material damage, but cannot predict future material damage. To predict creep damage, it is necessary to predict the future temperature and pressure data of the material application environment. In actual applications, power plant managers are more concerned about the future status of boiler equipment so that they can make treatment plans in advance to prevent accidents.
