Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a hydropower station water conveyance and power generation system, specifically a method for calculating hydraulic impedance considering the motion characteristics of a water turbine. Background Technology
[0002] In recent decades, the power energy structure has been gradually adjusted, with the proportion of intermittent renewable energy in the power grid continuously increasing, causing significant impacts on the grid. To regulate grid parameters, hydropower stations are required to operate more frequently outside their optimal conditions, making hydropower an irreplaceable energy source. To ensure stable power system operation, turbines experience numerous dynamic load imbalances, resulting in complex flow patterns. Currently, the operational stability of mixed-flow turbines under off-design conditions has become a significant issue. Adjustments to unit operating conditions can cause transient processes, and unstable flow patterns within the flow channel can lead to substantial pressure oscillations, affecting unit stability and power station safety. Hydropower stations already built or under construction in recent years are trending towards higher head and larger capacity, inevitably operating under off-design conditions. Disturbances within the flow channel can lead to hydraulic resonance, impacting power station safety. Hydraulic vibration research and testing methods are costly, pose safety hazards, and carry significant risks, thus presenting considerable limitations.
[0003] As a crucial hydraulic component in a hydropower station, the calculation of the hydraulic impedance of a turbine is closely related to the unit's speed, flow rate, operating head, and torque. Its dynamic characteristics play a vital role in the stability and safety of the hydropower station. During actual operation, if hydraulic vibration occurs within the system, the flow rate and operating pressure of the turbine runner will change accordingly, disrupting the turbine's equilibrium state. This equilibrium state will be re-established during the transient process. However, current calculations related to hydraulic vibration characteristics treat the turbine as a valve with a fixed orifice, neglecting the dynamic characteristics such as changes in unit speed and torque during transient processes.
