Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of deep peak shaving technology, and more specifically to a method for controlling 20% load of a coal-fired power unit. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread application of various clean energy sources, the issues of power supply and demand balance and system peak-shaving capacity are becoming increasingly prominent. Due to the unstable nature of clean energy and the fluctuating load demand of the power grid, the load regulation capability of coal-fired power units has become crucial. Load control of coal-fired power units not only relates to the safe and stable operation of the power system but also directly affects the effective utilization and economic benefits of various energy resources in the electricity market. Existing peak-shaving schemes overemphasize the maximum adjustable capacity of coal-fired power units, especially at loads as low as 20%. Achieving the target load leads to excessively high regulation costs and even affects the safe operation of coal-fired power units. Therefore, providing a method for controlling the 20% load of coal-fired power units is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0035] This invention discloses a method for controlling 20% load in a coal-fired power unit, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0036] S1. Obtain the real-time load and target load of the current total coal-fired units, and determine the difference between the real-time load and the target load;
[0037] S2. Determine the adjustment command for the total coal-fired unit load based on the difference between the real-time load and the target load;

[0048] In this embodiment of the invention, deep peak shaving may cause wear and tear on coal-fired power units, thus creating safety hazards. For example, the start-up and shutdown process of peak shaving involves significant changes in boiler air temperature and heating surface wall temperature, which can easily lead to metal stress fatigue, resulting in water-cooled wall cracking and heating surface leakage. Frequent start-ups and shutdowns of the unit and large load fluctuations can easily cause oxide scale to fall off and block boiler tubes, leading to overheating and tube rupture accidents. Frequent start-ups and shutdowns of auxiliary equipment can affect the reliability and stability of the equipment, increasing the failure rate. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the operational safety indicators of coal-fired power units to confirm their load regulation capabilities and ensure safety.

[0050] The impact of each operational safety indicator on the safety situation is divided into multiple safety domains, including personal safety, equipment safety, and environmental safety. The degree of impact in each domain is divided into multiple levels, namely, extremely serious hazard, significant hazard, general hazard, minor hazard, and no hazard. Based on the actual values of the current operational safety indicators of the coal-fired unit, the degree of impact is determined. For example, in this embodiment of the invention, an operational safety indicator may have a degree of impact on personal safety, equipment safety, and environmental safety of general hazard, general hazard, and no hazard, respectively. Each of the five levels and three safety domains has a preset weight value. Therefore, the degree of impact of this operational safety indicator is:
[0051] j = a1·b 13 +a2·b 23 +a3·b 35
[0052] In the formula, j represents the degree of influence of this operational safety indicator, a1 represents the weight value of personal safety, and b 13 a1 represents the general hazard weight value for personal safety, a2 represents the equipment safety weight value, and b... 13 a3 represents the general hazard weight value for equipment safety, b represents the environmental safety weight value, and b represents the environmental safety weight value. 13 This indicates the weight value for environmental safety and lack of hazard.

[0054]
[0055] In the formula, w i represents the weight of the i-th operational safety indicator, and represents the degree of influence of the i-th operational safety indicator;
[0056] S33 specifically refers to:
[0057] j = s1·w1 + s2·w2 + ... + s n ·w n
[0058] In the formula, s1 represents the first operational safety indicator.
[0059] Furthermore, S4 specifically refers to:
[0060] S41. Calculate the load regulation costs and pollution emission data for all adjustable coal-fired power units;
[0061] S42. Obtain real-time load data of adjustable coal-fired units and historical load data of coal-fired units.

Standardize the load adjustment cost, pollution emission data, and the difference between real-time load and the average stable load, and assign corresponding weights to the load adjustment cost, pollution emission data, and the difference between real-time load and the average stable load.

Based on load adjustment costs, pollution emission data, the difference between real-time load and the average stable load, and the corresponding weights, calculate the adjustment priority of all adjustable coal-fired units. Sort all adjustable coal-fired units in descending order of adjustment priority to obtain the load adjustment sequence of adjustable coal-fired units.
[0064] Furthermore, the specific calculation of the load regulation cost for all adjustable coal-fired units is as follows:
[0065] C = C1 + C2 + C3
[0066] In the formula, C is the load adjustment cost, C1 is the adjustment scheme implementation cost, C2 is the fuel increase cost, and C3 is the equipment wear and tear cost.
[0067] Furthermore, the specific calculation of pollution emission data for all adjustable coal-fired power units is as follows:
[0068] f = s i (P i )+n i (P i )
[0069]
[0070] In the formula, f represents the pollutant emission amount, and s i (P i ) represents the SO2 emissions of coal-fired unit i, and n represents the SO2 emissions of coal-fired unit i.i (P i ) represents the NO of coal-fired unit i x Emissions, sα i sβ i α and γ are both SO2 emission characteristic coefficients of coal-fired unit i, and nα is the emission characteristic coefficient of unit i. i nβ i n and γ are both NO from coal-fired unit i. x Emission characteristic coefficient.
[0071] Furthermore, S5 specifically involves: determining the stable load extreme value of the current adjustable coal-fired unit during the historical peak shaving process based on historical load data; using the difference between the real-time load and the stable load extreme value corresponding to the adjustment command as the load regulation capacity of the adjustable coal-fired unit; and allocating load regulation targets to the adjustable coal-fired unit in the order of the load regulation sequence until the real-time load of the total coal-fired unit reaches the target load.
