Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of nuclear power technology, and in particular to a system and method for monitoring expansion of a steam turbine foundation platform in a nuclear power plant. Background Art

[0002] According to the design documents of the steam turbine manufacturer, in order to ensure that the moving and static parts of the steam turbine do not collide and rub, a low-pressure cylinder rotor absolute expansion monitoring device is designed, and the alarm value and intervention value are set. Because the rotor and the steam turbine foundation shrink asynchronously under the sudden cooling / sudden heating conditions of the steam turbine, the foundation will drive the probe to move, resulting in a deviation in the low-pressure rotor thermal expansion indication. Since this deviation cannot be eliminated, in order to meet the normal operation of the unit, the alarm value of the unit can only be increased. However, if the actual expansion displacement of the low-pressure rotor exceeds the intervention value, there is a risk of wear of the moving and static parts of the steam turbine, which may cause damage to the turbine blades or internal cylinder. To this end, it is necessary to develop a steam turbine foundation platform expansion monitoring device to measure the expansion displacement of the steam turbine platform in real time to correct the low-pressure rotor expansion indication, obtain the actual expansion of the low-pressure rotor, solve the expansion indication fluctuation phenomenon, and avoid false alarms.

[0003] In the field of thermal expansion monitoring of steam turbine foundation platforms, no directly related monitoring methods and reports have been found so far. According to engineering cases in other industries, it is generally achieved by multiplying the length of the concrete structure by the expansion system. Through literature and patent retrieval, there are many studies on the thermal expansion coefficient of concrete and its influencing factors, which can be roughly divided into two categories: model calculation method and experimental method. The main contents are as follows:

[0004] 1) Model calculation method

[0005] Lu Chunpeng and others from Wuhan University conducted a simulation study on the influence of the time-varying thermal expansion coefficient on the temperature stress of concrete. The results showed that the thermal expansion coefficient of concrete changes significantly with the development of age. Yao Wu and others from Tongji University used the orthogonal design test method to study the influence of mix design parameters on the thermal expansion coefficient, and used the efficiency coefficient method to determine the optimal mix ratio that meets multiple indicators. The test results show that the thermal expansion coefficient of concrete increases with the increase of unit water consumption and slurry-to-mass ratio, and the influence of water-cement mass ratio depends on the relative relationship between cement consumption and water consumption. Jiang Kai and others from Three Gorges University used the stress-free gauge measurement values ​​buried in concrete and the corresponding temperature values ​​to perform an inverse analysis of the thermal expansion coefficient of concrete using the least squares method. Tan Kang from Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University pointed out that the thermal expansion of concrete is a dynamic and complex process affected by multiple factors. The experimental data collected on-site at only one instant cannot effectively represent the dynamic change process of thermal expansion.

[0006] 2) Test methods

[0007] The test methods for obtaining the thermal expansion system of concrete include the surface-attached strain gauge method, the laser displacement sensor method, the sampling instrument measurement point method, etc. Among them, the resistance strain gauge method can only obtain the thermal expansion coefficient of the surface, and cannot obtain the relevant parameters inside; the sampling instrument measurement method can only characterize the thermal expansion coefficient of the sampled part, and is greatly affected by the environment; the laser displacement sensor method measures the displacement change before and after the thermal expansion of concrete and then infers the thermal expansion coefficient, but it requires repeated measurements to obtain the coefficient curve under different environmental conditions.

[0008] In summary, the calculation and testing methods of the concrete thermal expansion system have many defects and limitations, and it is impossible to accurately obtain the thermal expansion coefficient in a complex environment. At the same time, considering that there is a gradient change in the temperature field inside the low-pressure cylinder, the thermal expansion displacement of each section of the entire turbine foundation is not uniform, so the method of multiplying the foundation length by the thermal expansion coefficient cannot effectively obtain the accurate value.

[0053] The fixed restraining bracket 60 includes a first bottom plate 61 and a first supporting plate 62 vertically connected to the first bottom plate 61 . The first bottom plate 61 is used for fixed connection with the foundation platform of the steam turbine of the nuclear power plant.

[0054] The first support plate 62 has a cylindrical portion 63 and a second interface portion 64 on opposite sides thereof. The cylindrical portion 63 is used to be installed in the inner cavity of the first end of the first carbon fiber rod 11 , and the two are interference fit.

[0055] In some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the nuclear power plant steam turbine foundation platform expansion monitoring system further includes a plurality of guide constraint brackets 70, and the guide constraint brackets 70 are used to enable the carbon fiber rods 11 to move freely in the axial direction as the nuclear power plant steam turbine foundation platform expands.

[0056] Furthermore, the number of the guiding restraining brackets 70 can be two, three, four, five, six or seven. Preferably, the number of the guiding restraining brackets 70 is seven, one of which is installed about 10 cm upstream of the end (end point) of the second end of the last carbon fiber rod 11, and the remaining guiding restraining brackets 70 (which can be the remaining six guiding restraining brackets 70) are evenly arranged between the first end of the first carbon fiber rod 11 and the second end of the last carbon fiber rod 11 (i.e., between the starting point and the end point), so that the carbon fiber rod 11 can move freely in the axial direction as the foundation platform of the nuclear power plant turbine expands.

[0057] Each of the guide and restraint brackets 70 includes a second base plate 71 and a second support plate 72 vertically connected to the second base plate 71. The second base plate 71 is used to be fixedly connected to the foundation platform of the nuclear power plant steam turbine.

In addition, a double trumpet-shaped polytetrafluoroethylene gasket with a thickness of 2 mm is installed along the hole diameter of the guide and restraint bracket 70 to reduce the sliding friction coefficient.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the zero point measurement plate 20 is arranged opposite to the second end of the last carbon fiber rod 11. The zero point measurement plate 20 is made of carbon steel material and has an L-shaped structure or a T-shaped structure.

The zero point measurement plate 20 is installed on the foundation below the No. 4 bearing seat, and the vertical inclination angle is ≤5°. Preferably, the zero point measurement plate 20 should be installed parallel to the original eddy current displacement sensor bracket. Considering the additional eddy current length and measurement gap of the guide constraint near the No. 4 bearing seat, the zero point measurement plate 20 should be close to the guide constraint bracket 70 of the last carbon fiber rod 11.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the displacement measuring device 30 includes an eddy current displacement sensor 31 and a collection device 32, the collection device 32 is connected to the eddy current displacement sensor 31, the eddy current displacement sensor 31 is arranged at the end of the second end of the last carbon fiber rod 11, and the eddy current displacement sensor 31 is arranged opposite to the zero point measurement plate 20. Among them, the eddy current displacement sensor 31 can be used to detect displacement data, temperature data, etc. The sensitive direction of the eddy current displacement sensor 31 is consistent with the axis of the carbon fiber rod 11, and is installed at the end (end position) of the second end of the last carbon fiber rod 11. The collection device 32 can continuously record the data of the eddy current displacement sensor 31 and display the value in real time. The eddy current displacement sensor 31 has a measurement accuracy of 0.01mm, and the range of the eddy current displacement sensor 31 should be a large range. In order to avoid measurement errors introduced by equipment performance differences, the eddy current displacement sensor 31 can meet the full range measurement of the steam turbine platform from cold to hot. The eddy current displacement sensor 31 should be selected from the same model or eddy current displacement sensor with similar performance as the original monitoring system of the nuclear power plant steam turbine to avoid measurement errors. The acquisition equipment 32 includes but is limited to industrial computers.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, the thermostat 40 is connected to the carbon fiber rod device 10, and is used to input a medium into the carbon fiber rod 11 of the carbon fiber rod device 10, so that the temperature of the carbon fiber rod device 10 is kept constant. The thermostat 40 includes a transmission pipeline 41, a storage container 42, a heating radiator 43 and a pressure pump 44. The storage container 42, the heating radiator 43 and the pressure pump 44 are connected to the transmission pipeline 41, and the transmission pipeline 41 can be a transmission hose (Φ10mm).

[0062] The two ends of the transmission pipeline 41 are connected to the first carbon fiber rod 11 and the last carbon fiber rod 11, respectively. Preferably, the two ends of the transmission pipeline 41 can be connected to the first interface 53 and the second interface 64, respectively. The heating radiator 43 is used to maintain the medium temperature constant, and the pressure pump 44 provides a constant pressure (0.1MPa) for the medium to promote the flow of the medium. At the same time, a flexible insulation coat can be laid on the surface of the transmission pipeline 41 and the carbon fiber rod 11 to maintain the medium temperature at 40±2℃.

[0063] The positions of the storage container 42, the heating radiator 43 and the pressure pump 44 can be adjusted appropriately according to actual needs. In addition, at least one temperature sensor and at least one pressure sensor can be provided on the transmission pipeline 41. The temperature sensor can be used to detect the temperature of the medium, and the pressure sensor can be used to detect the pressure of the medium.

[0064] Furthermore, a first stop valve 45 is provided at one end of the transmission pipeline 41 close to the first interface portion 53 , and a second stop valve 46 is provided at one end of the transmission pipeline 41 close to the second interface portion 64 .

[0065] In some embodiments, the carbon fiber rod 11 is filled with a constant temperature medium, and the medium is in a slow flow state. The constant temperature device 40 is used to ensure that the medium temperature is constant and the pressure difference is constant, so as to ensure that the temperature of the carbon fiber rod 11 remains constant and avoid measurement deviation caused by the introduction of temperature difference.

[0066] In some embodiments, the nuclear power plant steam turbine foundation platform expansion monitoring system can measure the expansion displacement of the nuclear power plant steam turbine foundation platform in real time based on the eddy current displacement sensor 31, correct the low-pressure rotor expansion indication according to the real-time measurement data, obtain the true expansion of the low-pressure rotor, solve the expansion indication fluctuation phenomenon, and avoid unit power reduction due to triggering the intervention limit.

[0067] The present invention also discloses a method for monitoring expansion of a nuclear power plant steam turbine foundation platform, which is applied to the nuclear power plant steam turbine foundation platform expansion monitoring system of the above embodiment. The method for monitoring expansion of a nuclear power plant steam turbine foundation platform comprises the following steps:

[0068] Debugging steps: Debugging is performed under cold working conditions of the steam turbine. During the debugging process, the thermostat 40 inputs a medium into the carbon fiber rod 11 of the carbon fiber rod device 10, and maintains the temperature of the medium at 40±2°C. The eddy current displacement sensor 31 obtains the measurement indication D1 (initial value) and the medium temperature value T1 of the carbon fiber rod device 10; after the thermostat 40 increases the medium temperature by 20°C and the medium temperature is stable, the displacement measuring device 30 obtains the displacement measurement indication D2 (value after expansion) of the carbon fiber rod device 10; the thermal expansion value D3 of the carbon fiber rod device 10 is calculated (which can be calculated according to the thermal expansion formula: 20°C×24m×1e-6 / ℃) and calculate the displacement measurement difference D4, which is the difference between the displacement measurement indication D2 and the measurement indication D1, and compare the thermal expansion value D3 with the displacement measurement difference D4 (displacement measurement indication D2-measurement indication D1). If the error is within the required range (the error is within the required range, that is, less than or equal to 5%), the formal test steps are carried out;

[0069] Formal test steps: confirm that the low-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine is in a cold state and the medium temperature of the carbon fiber rod 11 of the carbon fiber rod device is constant at 40±2°C, reset the displacement indication of the displacement measuring device 30 to zero, and then the displacement measuring device 30 continuously collects displacement values. After the steam turbine unit reaches full power, the value displayed by the displacement measuring device 30 is the expansion displacement value of the nuclear power plant turbine foundation platform.

[0070] Specifically, the expansion monitoring system of the steam turbine foundation platform of this nuclear power plant is installed and debugged under the cold working condition of the steam turbine. During the debugging process, the medium temperature is first maintained at 40±2℃, and the measured value D1 and the medium temperature value T1 of the displacement measuring device 30 are recorded; then the medium temperature is increased by 20℃ by the constant temperature device 40, and the displacement measurement value D2 is recorded after stabilization; the thermal expansion formula is applied ( 20℃×24m×1e -6 / ℃ ) The thermal expansion value D3 of the carbon fiber rod 11 is calculated and compared with the displacement measurement difference D4 (D2-D1). If the error exceeds the required range (i.e., greater than 5%), the expansion monitoring system of the nuclear power plant turbine foundation platform is re-debugged. If the error is within the required range, i.e., less than or equal to 5%, the formal test steps are carried out.
