Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of hydraulic machinery and relates to a quantitative evaluation method for wide load stability of a Francis turbine. Background Art
[0002] At present, the world is facing the dual challenges of economic development and climate change. It has become a consensus to promote the transformation of energy systems towards low-carbon and sustainable directions. With the rapid decline in the cost of clean energy such as wind and solar energy, their installed capacity has increased significantly, becoming the main source of clean energy in the world. However, wind and solar energy themselves have significant intermittent and volatile characteristics, which poses a huge challenge to the stability and flexibility of the power system. In response to these problems, multi-energy complementary systems have gradually emerged. By combining different types of renewable energy such as hydropower, wind power, and solar energy, energy output can be stabilized and the safety and reliability of the power system can be improved. In multi-energy complementary systems, hydropower is often used as an important support for balancing wind power and photovoltaic fluctuations due to its strong adjustability and fast response speed. However, with the expansion of wind and solar energy applications, the demand for hydropower has increased significantly. In order to balance the load fluctuations in the system, hydropower units need to frequently adjust power, even operating in a lower load area. Low-load operation and frequent adjustment conditions will aggravate the vibration of the turbine and fatigue damage of key components, resulting in an increased risk of turbine failure and a shortened service life. In response to this demand, traditional turbine stability assessment methods are mostly based on a single characteristic parameter or rely on simple signal analysis methods, which makes it difficult to effectively cope with the data characteristics under multiple measurement points and multiple operating conditions.

The measurement adopts an XYZ orthogonal coordinate system, in which the Z axis represents the vertical direction, and the X and Y axes are horizontal orthogonal directions, wherein the Y direction is parallel to the volute inlet, and the X direction is perpendicular to the Y direction. The swing data is collected by the eddy current displacement sensor of model 85745 of Beizhen Factory, measuring the horizontal and vertical swing of the upper guide bearing measuring point 1, the lower guide bearing measuring point 4 and the water guide bearing measuring point 6; the vibration data is collected by the Tsinghua MLS-9 low-frequency velocity displacement sensor, measuring the horizontal and vertical vibration of the upper frame measuring point 2, the stator base measuring point 3, the lower frame measuring point 5 and the top cover measuring point 8; the pressure pulsation data is collected by the Druck model pressure sensor, measuring the pressure pulsation of the top cover inlet measuring point 7, the volute inlet measuring point 9 and the tailwater pipe inlet measuring point 10. The vibration, swing and pressure pulsation data collected by all sensors are the peak-to-peak values of the 97% confidence interval, and the data are input into the computer through the data acquisition card.

[0065] Step 1: In the variable load test, the test system gradually increases from no load to 400MW in steps of 20MW, and collects data according to national standards. The horizontal and vertical swings of the upper guide bearing measuring point 1, the lower guide bearing measuring point 4 and the water guide bearing measuring point 5 are collected by using the eddy current displacement sensor model 85745 of Beizhen Factory. The data is shown in Figure 2(a). The measured swing data is input into matrix A1:

[0086] Among them, B T is the transposed matrix of matrix B, n is the number of columns of matrix B, λ r is the rth eigenvalue, v r is λ r The corresponding feature vector.
[0087] Step 5.3, sort the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix H in descending order, and select the eigenvector corresponding to each eigenvalue. These eigenvectors constitute a new principal component direction matrix F, which contains the directions of all principal components.
[0088] Step 5.4, calculate the variance proportion E of each principal component r is to transform each eigenvalue λ r This is done by dividing by the sum of all eigenvalues, which represents the proportion of the rth principal component in the total variance.
[0089]
[0090] Step 5.5, Cumulative variance percentage E C By gradually accumulating the variance proportion E of the first k principal components r Calculation indicates the proportion of the total variance retained by the first k principal components to all variances. The minimum number of principal components selected by the present invention is the k value when the cumulative variance percentage exceeds 90%.
[0091]
[0092] Step 5.6, after determining the number of principal components k, the matrix F will be updated to a new matrix F k , which only contains the eigenvectors of the first k principal components. k are the first k columns extracted from the original F, indicating the selected principal component directions.
[0093] Step 5.7, by combining the original data matrix B with the eigenvector matrix F k Multiply them together to get the principal component score S.
[0094] S=B·F k (11)
[0095] Step 5.8, the evaluation matrix Q is reconstructed through formula (12), and the process of converting the data representation in the principal component space back to the original feature space is aimed at making the reconstructed data retain the most critical information.
[0096]
[0097] Where S is the principal component score matrix, FTk is the eigenvector matrix F of the selected k principal components k The transpose of .
[0098] Step 5.9, determine the positive ideal solution Q + and negative ideal solution Q - , as shown in equations (13) and (14).
[0099]
[0100] in, is the optimal normalized value of the index of the jth measuring point under the i-th load value, that is, the maximum value and It is the worst normalized value of the index of the jth measuring point under the i-th load value, that is, the minimum value.
[0101] Step 5.10, calculate the distance from the evaluation object to the positive ideal solution and the negative ideal solution;
[0102] Step 5.11, calculate the relative closeness coefficient C of each indicator i , according to C i Calculate the unit operation risk rate R i .

[0105]
[0106] Example 5
[0107] The specific process of step 5.11 is: Calculate the relative closeness coefficient C of each indicator i , as shown in formula (17). Since in the TOPSIS evaluation system, the closer the relative closeness coefficient is to 1, the better, therefore, the computer group operation risk rate R is obtained through formula (18). i .
[0108]
[0109] Ri =1-C i (18)
[0110] Example 6
[0111] By carrying out a variable load test on the Francis turbine unit, the peak-to-peak values of the swing, vibration and pressure pulsation of each component are collected through the test acquisition system, as shown in Figure 2(a)-(c). The collected data are classified according to swing, vibration and pressure pulsation, and their evaluation matrix A is constructed through steps 1-4. Figure 3 The process of selecting the number of principal components k is shown. The unit risk coefficient of the Francis turbine under different loads is obtained through step 5, such as Figure 4 As shown. Figure 4 It can be seen that the unit risk factor shows a wave-like change trend with the increase of load. The peak appears at 160MW, and the trough appears at 140MW and 260MW. This shows that under the load of 160MW, the risk of unit operation is in the unsafe operation area.
