Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hydropower station monitoring, in particular to a real-time monitoring and control method, system, device and medium for hydraulic turbines. Background Art
[0002] Many hydropower stations use mixed-flow hydraulic turbines, also known as Francis turbines. As the preferred type of hydraulic turbine under medium head and flow conditions, Francis turbines are favored for their compact structure, high efficiency and wide application. This type of hydraulic turbine can effectively convert the kinetic energy of water into mechanical energy, and then drive the generator to generate electrical energy. Its design enables it to maintain good performance over a wide range of flows and heads, especially in medium-head applications, where efficient energy conversion can be achieved.
[0003] However, Francis turbines have certain limitations in terms of regulation flexibility. Compared with Pelton or Kaplan turbines, Francis turbines have weaker adjustment speed and response ability when facing rapidly changing flows and heads. This characteristic may lead to problems in power generation efficiency and stability in modern power systems with large fluctuations in grid demand.
[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies of Francis turbines in terms of regulation flexibility and improve their performance under varying head and flow conditions, more precise water parameter control strategies need to be implemented. By precisely controlling the water pressure, water flow rate and water flow velocity, the operating state of the hydraulic turbine can be optimized, thereby improving the energy conversion efficiency and the ability to adapt to grid demand.
[0005] Although improving the accuracy of water parameter control has obvious advantages, there are many challenges in actual operation. First of all, high-performance sensors and advanced data processing technologies are required to accurately measure and control water flow parameters in real time. In addition, environmental factors such as temperature changes, mechanical wear and sediment accumulation may affect the accuracy of sensors and the reliability of the system. In addition, the processing and feedback regulation mechanism of real-time data must be fast enough to respond to rapidly changing water flow conditions.
[0006] In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes a real-time monitoring and control method and system for hydropower stations. The invention aims to calculate in advance the expected water pressure, flow rate and flow velocity before the water resource enters the hydraulic turbine by integrating advanced sensing technologies, real-time data processing algorithms and automatic adjustment mechanisms. According to the expected parameters, the blade angle of the hydraulic turbine can be adjusted in advance to solve the deficiencies of Francis turbines in terms of regulation flexibility. And the present invention compares the real value with the predicted value to pre-judge the faults of the hydropower station. Through this system, the optimized operation of hydraulic power generation equipment such as Francis turbines can be realized, improving their regulation flexibility and overall power generation efficiency, and better meeting the needs of modern power grids.

Obviously, the following drawings are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings.
[0050] Figure 1 It is a flowchart of the real-time monitoring and control method of the water turbine in Embodiment 1.
[0051] Figure 2 It is a module structure diagram of a real-time monitoring and control system for a hydropower station in Embodiment 3. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0052] To make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following will give a detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the specification.
[0053] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0054] Embodiment 1
[0055] Refer to Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention. The real-time monitoring and control method of the water turbine provided by this embodiment includes, as Figure 1 shown:
[0056] Step 1: The local monitoring cabinet collects the data of the reservoir sensor, judges whether the water quality meets the requirements. If it meets the requirements, the water is introduced into the water turbine inlet through the water guide system.
[0057] The local monitoring cabinet is mainly responsible for the acquisition, analysis, storage, communication, display, alarm, human-computer interaction, etc. of the state data of sensors such as water pressure, flow rate, and flow velocity.
[0058] One on-site monitoring cabinet is configured for each unit. The on-site monitoring hardware for each unit is arranged in a standard cabinet beside the unit (on the right bank) or in the unit control room (on the left bank). The cabinet shall adopt the same model and style as the latest panel cabinets already installed at the site of each unit of the power station.
[0059] Based on the sensor data of the reservoir, the suspended solid coverage rate, pH value, and conductivity index data in the reservoir are obtained, and the index data is compared with the index threshold to determine whether the requirements are met.
[0060] If the suspended solid coverage rate is greater than the threshold, a flocculant is added to the water to aggregate the particles into lumps, which are removed by sedimentation or flotation. A filter screen is added before the water is introduced into the water turbine inlet to filter out the suspended solids.
[0061] If the pH value is greater than the threshold, selective water intake is carried out. The pH value of the water in the reservoir at different depths or different regions is measured. For the water in the regions where the pH value is greater than the threshold, it is discharged by controlling the gate of the drainage system, and the water in the regions that meet the requirements is introduced into the water turbine inlet; if there is a pH gradient in the reservoir, that is, the pH values of the water layers in different depth intervals are different, then by continuously shutting off between the gate of the drainage system and the gate of the water diversion system, the water resources entering the water diversion system meet the requirements.
[0062] If the conductivity is greater than the threshold, a water source with low salinity is introduced for dilution, or all the water resources in the reservoir are discharged. The sewage discharge volume in the upstream sewage outlet is adjusted to limit the entry of high-salt water into the upstream, and the water resources in the reservoir are stored again.
[0063] Adjusting the sewage discharge volume in the upstream sewage outlet here is to temporarily limit the sewage discharge into the upstream river. When the hydropower station stops generating electricity or the water quality meets the requirements, the limit is lifted.
[0064] Step 2: Before the water is introduced into the inlet, the on-site monitoring cabinet calculates the predicted water parameters through the sensor data in the water diversion system and the pre-measured water head height. The water parameters include water pressure, flow rate, and flow velocity.
[0065] A measuring point is set at a predetermined interval distance in the water diversion system to measure the water parameters; the predicted water parameters are calculated based on the water head height. The calculation formula for the water flow velocity is expressed as
[0066] ,
[0067] where represents the water flow velocity, represents the acceleration due to gravity, represents the water head height, represents the head loss.
[0068] Head loss The calculation formula is expressed as
[0069] ,
[0070] where is expressed as the friction factor and is obtained from the Moody diagram, is expressed as the length of the water channel, is expressed as the diameter of the water channel.
[0071] Based on the water flow velocity calculation formula and the calculation formula of the head loss and the positions of each measuring point in the water guiding system, the final interval water flow velocity formula is obtained and expressed as
[0072] ,
[0073] where is expressed as the head height from the water outlet of the reservoir to the th measuring point, is expressed as the length of the water channel from the water outlet of the reservoir to the th measuring point, is expressed as the total number of measuring points.
[0074] The calculation formula of water pressure is expressed as
[0075] ,
[0076] The calculation formula of flow rate is expressed as
[0077] ,
[0078] where is expressed as the water density, is expressed as the cross-sectional area of the water channel in the water guiding system.
[0079] Load the calculated predicted water parameters into the system and start the water guiding work. Collect the real water parameters collected at each measuring point. Based on the real water parameters and through the interval water flow velocity formula, inversely calculate the real friction factor of each measuring point interval , and is updated and replaced. Calculate the total friction factor from the water outlet of the reservoir to the water inlet of the water turbine according to the mean formula is expressed as
[0080] ,
[0081] For , subtract the real friction factor of each measuring point from the friction factor and compare it with the maximum allowable threshold . If , it is determined as an abnormal measurement point. If , it is a normal measurement point.
[0082] When the number of abnormal measurement points is less than or equal to 2, and if the number of abnormal measurement points is equal to 2 and the positions of the two abnormal measurement points are not consecutive positions, it is determined that there is a sensor failure, and the normal operation of the hydropower station is maintained, but the friction factor data comparison at the abnormal measurement points is removed. The sensors at the abnormal measurement points are repaired when the hydropower station is idle.
[0083] When the number of abnormal measurement points is greater than 2, or the number of abnormal measurement points is equal to 2 and the positions of the two abnormal measurement points are consecutive positions, it is determined that there is a failure in the water guiding system or there is foreign matter in the water quality, and the operation of the hydropower station is stopped for maintenance.
[0084] Explanation: Because the water flow of the hydropower station is very large and the sensors are constantly washed and corroded by water resources, they are inevitably damaged. Therefore, if only one or two places are found to have abnormal monitoring, it is very likely due to sensor failure. However, if abnormal monitoring phenomena are found in multiple places, it must be due to system failure or there are foreign matters and excessive sediment in the water body; the consecutive positions mentioned above mean that if two measurement points are far apart, generally according to historical data, it is also due to sensor failure. But if two consecutive measurement points are abnormal, it indicates that abnormalities occur in a certain area, and it is very likely due to the system and water body, because the probability of simultaneous failure of sensors in adjacent areas is extremely low.
[0085] Step 3: The on-site monitoring cabinet adjusts the water turbine blade angle based on the obtained expected water parameters to make the power generation meet the demand.
[0086] The calculated total friction factor and the total head height between the water outlet of the water storage tank and the water inlet of the water turbine collected in advance are substituted into the interval water flow velocity formula to obtain the expected water turbine inlet water flow velocity which is expressed as
[0087] ,
[0088] According to the inlet water flow velocity calculate the effective head which is expressed as
[0089] ,
[0090] According to calculate the input water flow velocity before entering the blade which is expressed as
[0091] ,
[0092] where Denoted as the blade angle.
[0093] According to Calculate the scouring force on the blade , and then obtain the torque generated by the water turbine after being subjected to the force and the rotational speed , denoted as,
[0094] ,
[0095] ,
[0096] ,
[0097] Among them, Denoted as the output water velocity after passing through the guide vane, generally k times of, and the value of k is calculated and fitted based on the specifications of different water turbines Denoted as the runner radius Denoted as the runner diameter.
[0098] Based on the maximum operable state of the water turbine, the constraint is denoted as
[0099] ,
[0100] ,
[0101] Among them, and Respectively denoted as the maximum allowable operating rotational speed and torque of the water turbine.
[0102] According to the rotational speed Calculate the angular velocity of the rotor connected to the runner Denoted as,
[0103] ,
[0104] Furthermore, calculate the expected power generation Denoted as,
[0105] ,
[0106] Among them, Denoted as the conversion efficiency; Replace the required power generation with the expected power generation, and load the expected water parameters calculated before importing into the water inlet into the system, and inversely deduce the blade angle , control the current blade angle to at, to meet the calculated greater than or equal to the required power generation.
[0107] For further explanation, the blade angle deduced at this time is the optimal blade angle. The blade angle needs to be adjusted in advance before water enters the water turbine. Since the operating conditions are different each time, the blade angle is different, so the blade angle is an unknown quantity. Therefore, the input flow velocity and other quantities related to the blade angle are all unknown quantities. For the sake of logical integrity of the present invention, the relationships between various quantities are described in advance. After replacing the required power generation with the predicted power generation, since the runner radius and k are fixed parameters, they are known quantities. Therefore is a known quantity, which is obtained by synthesizing the water turbine manual and actual measurements and is a known quantity. Therefore, can be calculated, and then is deduced. Since the runner diameter is a known quantity, can be obtained, and then the blade angle is deduced. At this time, can meet the required power generation after replacement, so it is the optimal blade angle.
[0108] Step 4: After water enters the water turbine, based on the sensors inside the water turbine, obtain the water parameter data curve inside the water turbine. Compare the loss between the water parameter data curve and the predicted data curve. If the loss comparison is greater than the preset threshold, calibrate the difference points and check the number of difference points, and take corresponding measures according to the number of difference points.
[0109] Load the predicted water parameters into a pre-trained neural network model to obtain the predicted data curve, and collect the actual water parameter data curve through the sensors inside the water turbine.
[0110] Compare the loss between the water parameter data curve and the predicted data curve. The comparison rule is based on the measuring points of the sensors inside the water turbine. Calibrate the corresponding data points in the water parameter data curve, subtract the values of the data points in the water parameter data curve from the corresponding data points in the predicted data curve to obtain the difference value, and compare it with the preset threshold. If it is greater than the preset threshold, mark the corresponding data points in the water parameter data curve as difference points.
[0111] When the number of difference points is less than or equal to 2, and if the number of difference points is 2 and the positions of the two difference points are not consecutive positions, it is determined that the sensor is faulty. Keep the hydropower station running normally, mark the difference points in gray for idle processing, and repair the sensors at the difference points when the hydropower station is idle.
[0112] When the number of difference points is greater than 2, or when the number of difference points is equal to 2 and the positions of the two difference points are consecutive positions, it is determined that an abnormality has occurred inside the water turbine. Stop the operation of the current water turbine, divert the water resources that should flow into the current water turbine into the other water turbines through the water guide system, and adjust the blade angles of the other water turbines according to the required power generation and constraints to meet the requirements, and repair the current water turbine.
[0113] The predicted data curve is obtained by fitting the historical data of the water turbine through a neural network algorithm as follows:
[0114] 1. Design a neural network with an input layer, two hidden layers, and an output layer. Its mathematical expression is:
[0115] Input layer: Input vector where is the number of input features.
[0116] The first hidden layer:

[0122] Output layer:
[0123] ,
[0124] where is the output vector, containing the predicted image curve, and are the weight matrix and bias vector of the output layer.
[0125] 2. Training process
[0126] Training the neural network mainly involves minimizing the loss function through an optimization algorithm (such as gradient descent). For regression tasks, the mean squared error (MSE) is usually used as the loss function:
[0127] Loss function:
[0128] ,
[0129] wherein is the true value of the i-th sample, is the predicted value of the model, and n is the number of samples.
[0130] Optimization: By calculating the gradient of the loss function and updating the weights and biases:

[0133] 3. Prediction process
