Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an energy dissipation flood discharge and emptying hole, in particular to an energy dissipation flood discharge and emptying hole used for high water head, and belongs to the technical field of design and construction of water conservancy and hydropower engineering structures. Background Art

[0002] Explanation of terms

[0003] 1) Normal water level: the highest water level allowed to be stored in a reservoir under normal operation to meet the needs of power generation and other benefits;

[0004] 2) Dead water level: The lowest water level allowed to be drawn down by beneficial dispatching under normal operation of the reservoir.

[0005] 3) Flood discharge and emptying hole: Flood discharge and emptying hole is a commonly used discharge structure in pumped storage power stations. Its main functional requirements include:

[0006] a) Pre-discharge of flood water, that is, discharge the upstream flow and ensure the safety of the dam. For the lower reservoir of a pumped storage power station, it is necessary to discharge the upstream flow of the lower reservoir to the downstream of the dam as much as possible to avoid the upstream flow raising the water level of the lower reservoir and reducing the generating head of the pumped storage power station (the water level difference between the upper and lower reservoirs); on the other hand, since the lower reservoir of a pumped storage power station is mostly located on a river tributary, the upstream flow is relatively small, and it should be avoided to discharge excess water that exceeds the upstream flow to the downstream of the dam to ensure that the lower reservoir has sufficient water for power generation.

[0007] In summary, for the flood discharge and emptying hole of the lower reservoir of the pumped storage power station, the flow discharged to the downstream of the dam should be neither too much nor too little, but should be exactly equal to the flow from the upstream. Since the flow from the upstream of the river tributaries varies greatly and the change duration is short, the discharge flow from the flood discharge and emptying hole varies greatly and the gate (valve) is frequently operated.

[0008] b) Emptying, that is, according to the requirements of the maintenance of the lower reservoir, the inlet and outlet, the reservoir water level is lowered and the storage capacity is reduced. In order to meet the requirements of the emptying function, the elevation of the flood discharge and emptying hole must be set lower than the dead water level of the lower reservoir.

[0009] 4) Branch pipe: When a water pipe (drain pipe) is divided into two or more water pipes (drain pipes), a branch pipe is required.

[0010] 5) Cone valve: Cone valve is a working valve that adjusts the flow rate by changing the distance between the movable valve sleeve and the fixed cone. It is generally installed at the outlet of the high-pressure drainage pipe. Cone valve has good flow control effect, simple structure and easy operation. According to different outlet types, cone valves can be divided into submerged outflow type and air discharge type.

[0011] It should be noted that from the perspective of equipment manufacturing and prevention of cavitation and cavitation erosion, the diameter of the cone valve should not exceed 3.0m and the outflow velocity should not exceed 22m / s.

[0012] For high-head flood discharge and emptying holes, the existing layout plans and main problems are as follows:

[0013] The current layout of the existing high-head flood discharge and emptying holes is as follows:

[0014] 1) From upstream to downstream, the flood discharge and emptying tunnel consists of an inlet section, a pressure section, a gate section, a non-pressure section and an outlet section;

[0015] 2) The elevation of the inlet section is set lower than the dead water level of the reservoir;

[0016] 3) From upstream to downstream, the gate section is equipped with 1 maintenance gate, 1 emergency gate and 1 working arc gate in sequence;

[0017] 4) The pressure-free section consists of the upper flat section, the inclined well section and the lower flat section;

[0018] 5) The outlet section is equipped with a raft to divert water to the downstream riverbed to avoid erosion of the outlet section foundation.

[0019] The main problems of existing high-head flood discharge and emptying holes include:

[0020] 1) The flood discharge and emptying hole adopts working arc gate to control the discharge. The working arc gate has a prominent gate vibration problem when the opening is small, and the operation process is cumbersome, which cannot meet the requirements of small flow flood discharge and frequent gate operation;

[0021] 2) Due to the high working head and high outflow velocity, cavitation and erosion problems are prominent in the non-pressure section (especially the lower flat section and inclined well section) and the outlet section;

[0022] 3) When discharging a small flow, the outlet embankment cannot carry the water to the downstream riverbed far away from the foundation of the outlet section, and the outlet section has obvious scouring problems;

[0023] 4) When discharging a large flow, due to the high working water head and low energy dissipation rate of water flow in the flood discharge and emptying hole, most of the kinetic energy converted from potential energy is still retained after passing through the outlet embankment. When the geological conditions of the downstream river channel are poor and the anti-scouring ability is weak, it may cause serious scouring to the downstream river channel and bank slopes.

[0045] Combined with the existing technology, in order to achieve the maximum energy dissipation and facilitate the control of the downstream water flow, the control structure described in this application includes a maintenance gate 4 and its installation mechanism, an emergency gate 5 and its installation mechanism and a hoist 6.

[0048] In summary, the above technical solution provided by this application also has the following advantages:

[0049] 1. Ability to adapt to larger upstream water level fluctuations. The elevation of the inlet section of the present invention is set lower than the dead water level of the reservoir, and the upstream flow can be discharged at any water level between the normal water storage level and the dead water level. While meeting the requirements of the emptying function, it can also use a larger upstream water level fluctuation;

[0050] 2. Able to adapt to large fluctuations in discharge flow. The present invention is provided with a bifurcated pipe, which can divide a main discharge pipe into multiple branch discharge pipes, and each branch discharge pipe is provided with a cone valve to control flood discharge; when the upstream flow is large, multiple branch discharge pipes can be opened to discharge floods together; when the upstream flow is small, one branch discharge pipe can be opened to fully or partially control discharge, thereby being able to adapt to the requirements of large fluctuations in discharge flow;

[0051] 3. Rapid adjustment of the discharge flow rate. The discharge branch pipe of the present invention adopts a cone valve for discharge control, which has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can avoid the vibration problem of flood discharge when the arc gate has a small opening, and at the same time has the function of rapidly adjusting the discharge flow rate;

[0052] 4. Good internal energy dissipation effect. From upstream to downstream, the present invention sets up multiple internal energy dissipation settings, which have good internal energy dissipation effects:

[0053] 1) The cone valve itself has a certain energy dissipation effect and is the first internal energy dissipation facility;

[0054] 2) The cone valve discharges the upstream flow into the energy dissipation pool, causing shear and turbulence of the water flow inside the energy dissipation pool, which to a certain extent dissipates the kinetic energy of the water flow. This is the second internal energy dissipation facility;

[0055] 3) The water flows from the overflow weir, through the connection section and the swirl shaft, to the energy dissipation well, where it swirls and is fully aerated, and is fully sheared and turbulent in the energy dissipation well, which greatly dissipates the kinetic energy of the water flow. This is the third internal energy dissipation facility;

[0056] 4) Several orifice plates are set in the drainage tunnel section to further aerate, shear and turbulent the water flow, further dissipating the residual kinetic energy of the water flow. This is the fourth internal energy dissipation facility;

[0057] 5. The cavitation problem is not prominent. The present invention has set up a number of anti-cavitation measures and has good anti-cavitation ability:

[0058] 1) A vent is set downstream of the accident gate, with the outlet located at the top of the flow channel at the bottom of the lock chamber shaft, and the inlet located at the top of the lock chamber shaft. It can be connected to the surface through the accident gate control room and the lock chamber traffic tunnel and air supply tunnel, so that air can be replenished to the flow channel in time during the dynamic water closure of the accident gate, reducing the risk of cavitation in this part;

[0059] 2) The height difference between the normal water level and the dead water level of the lower reservoir of a pumped storage power station is generally not large. Although the elevation of the cone valve is set lower than the dead water level, it can ensure that its working water head meets the requirement that the outflow velocity is less than 22m / s, and the cavitation risk of the cone valve itself is not large;

[0060] 3) The cyclone shaft is connected to the top of the energy dissipation pool and can be connected to the ground surface through the energy dissipation pool and the energy dissipation pool traffic tunnel and air supply tunnel. The cyclone head in the cyclone shaft can be fully aerated to prevent the cyclone shaft, the energy dissipation pool connecting flat tunnel and other parts from cavitation damage;

[0061] 4) The present invention adopts a scheme of step-by-step energy dissipation by using multiple internal energy dissipation facilities. The water flow in the energy dissipation pool, vortex shaft, energy dissipation well, and water withdrawal tunnel section has passed through one to three internal energy dissipation facilities. The kinetic energy of the water has been dissipated to a certain extent, the flow velocity of the water is not large, and the cavitation and erosion problems are not prominent.

[0062] 6. The scouring of the downstream river channel is light, mainly reflected in:

[0063] 1) The present invention is equipped with four internal energy dissipation facilities, namely, energy dissipation pool, vortex shaft, energy dissipation well, and orifice plate of water withdrawal tunnel section. The kinetic energy of the water flow discharged through the flood discharge and emptying tunnel has been dissipated to a large extent, and the flow rate of the water flow discharged in the water withdrawal tunnel section is already relatively low;

[0064] 2) Step energy dissipation is set up at the outlet section, which can further dissipate the kinetic energy of the water flow in the drainage tunnel section and further reduce the flow velocity of the water entering the downstream river channel;

[0065] 3) The outlet section is equipped with concrete troughs and stone backfill sections to improve the anti-scouring capacity of the downstream river channel.

[0066] The technical solution of the present application is further described below through specific embodiments:

[0067] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a high-head flood discharge and cavitation cavern that can adapt to larger upstream water level fluctuations, larger discharge flow fluctuations, can quickly adjust the discharge flow, has good internal energy dissipation effect, has no prominent cavitation and erosion problems, and has a multi-stage energy dissipation that causes light scouring of the downstream river channel.
