[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.
[0032] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but they are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0033] Example:
[0034] A steam turbine unit virtual test method with mechanism data collaboration, the method comprising the following contents:
[0035] Step 1: construct a steam turbine model, a condenser model, a vacuum pump model and a regulating valve model, and merge all the constructed models into a steam turbine unit system simulation model;
[0036] Step 2: inputting initial operating parameters of different operating conditions into the steam turbine unit system simulation model to operate the steam turbine unit system simulation model;
[0037] Step 3, collecting the speed, thermal power, motor power and steam flow data output by the steam turbine system simulation model at time t, obtaining the valve opening at time t+1 based on the data, inputting the data into the steam turbine system simulation model, controlling the steam turbine system simulation model to work according to the valve opening at time t+1, outputting the speed, thermal power, motor power and steam flow data at time t+1, and the initial value of t is 1;
[0038] Step 4, determine whether the operating time between the 1st moment and the tth moment is equal to the preset operating time. If so, the steam turbine unit system simulation model stops working, and obtains the corresponding valve opening at each moment during the operating time and the corresponding speed, thermal power, motor power and steam flow data output by the steam turbine unit system simulation model. If not, set t=t+1 and execute step 3.
[0039] Specifically, the steam turbine system simulation model is a fusion model built on the Modelica multi-domain unified modeling and simulation platform. It combines physical simulation and data-driven technology to ensure the accuracy and adaptability of the model, so that it can accurately reflect the actual operating status of the steam turbine. At the same time, the electro-hydraulic actuator controller, as a physical device, ensures the accuracy and reliability of the actual equipment operation. The data acquisition system realizes data synchronization between the simulation model and the physical electro-hydraulic actuator controller based on the Modbus communication method, and then carries out virtual tests on the thermal performance of the steam turbine unit, promoting the comprehensive improvement and dynamic optimization of the thermal performance of the steam turbine unit.
[0040] Based on the constructed models of key equipment such as steam turbine, condenser, vacuum pump, regulating valve, etc., analyze the system principle topology diagram, clarify the connection relationship, interface type and signal transmission path between each device, and then integrate and debug the simulation model to ensure logical connection according to the topology diagram, and finally obtain the steam turbine unit system simulation model, such as Figure 5 shown.
[0041] Further defining, the steam turbine model is constructed in the following way:
[0042] A steam turbine thermodynamic model is established, and the steam turbine thermodynamic model is constrained using steam flow data, expansion data, and operating parameters to obtain a steam turbine model.
[0043] Specifically, a thermodynamic model of a multi-stage steam turbine is constructed, and a mechanism model of steam flow, expansion process, and operating parameters (such as flow, pressure, and temperature) is constructed based on the turbine velocity triangle theory. Using historical operating data, a data proxy model is constructed based on a long- and short-time neural network algorithm to supplement parts that are difficult to directly physically model, such as the stage enthalpy drop loss and steam leakage of a multi-stage steam turbine.
[0044] Further definition, the condenser model is constructed in the following way:
[0045] A heat exchange model of the condenser is established, and the condenser model is obtained by constraining the heat exchange model of the condenser using the condensation process of water vapor, heat transfer efficiency, cooling water flow and pressure characteristics in the condenser cavity.
[0046] Specifically, a heat exchange model of the condenser is established, and the fluid dynamics equation and the heat conduction equation are combined to simulate the condensation process of water vapor, heat exchange efficiency, cooling water flow, and pressure characteristics in the condenser cavity. Combined with the test data, the performance of the condenser is corrected and optimized, for example, the simulation model is corrected by measuring the cavity pressure data to improve the accuracy of the model.
[0047] Further defining, the way the vacuum pump model is constructed:
[0048] The vacuum pump model is constructed using the vacuum pump ejection coefficient.
[0049] Specifically, the vacuum extractor model mainly uses high-temperature and high-pressure steam to eject steam to achieve the purpose of extracting vacuum. Therefore, the vacuum extractor ejection coefficient proxy model is constructed in combination with equipment test data.
[0050] Further definition, the construction method of the control valve model is:
[0051] A flow characteristic model of the control valve is established to simulate the flow characteristics of the control valve at different openings. Combined with the valve resistance characteristic test data, a flow resistance characteristic model of the control valve is established.
[0052] Specifically, combined with the valve resistance characteristic test data, the flow rate and pressure drop values at different openings obtained in the experiment are analyzed to establish the valve flow resistance characteristic model. Select an appropriate interpolation or fitting method, such as polynomial fitting, spline interpolation, or nonlinear regression, to create a smooth flow resistance curve that captures the relationship between flow and pressure drop. In this process, the coefficient of determination (R 2 The model’s fit is evaluated by statistical indicators such as error (value) and residual analysis to ensure that the established model not only accurately reflects the flow characteristics of the valve under typical operating conditions, but is also suitable for calculation and simulation under different working conditions.
[0053] It is further defined that in step 3, the electro-hydraulic actuator obtains the valve opening according to the rotational speed, thermal power, motor power and steam flow data.
[0054] Specifically, the response speed of the electro-hydraulic actuator is adjusted according to the requirements of different working conditions to ensure its rapid response and stability under full load, partial load and start-stop conditions.
[0055] High-precision sensors are configured at key positions of the electro-hydraulic actuator controller, and different data collection frequencies are set according to the requirements of different working conditions to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the data.
[0056] According to the specific requirements of full load, partial load and start-stop conditions, select an electro-hydraulic actuator controller with high response speed and high stability to ensure that it can adapt to different working conditions. After the physical equipment is installed, conduct multi-condition tests to verify the performance of the actuator in terms of fast response and stability, record relevant data and analyze them to ensure that they meet the design requirements.
[0057] Install high-precision sensors at key locations of the electro-hydraulic actuator controller, including pressure, temperature, displacement, flow and other types. When selecting sensors, ensure that the accuracy meets the requirements. Equipped with a suitable data acquisition card, the sensor data is transmitted to the data storage server in real time through a high-speed data transmission channel. After the system integration is completed, the ability of the sensor and the data acquisition card to work together is verified through comprehensive testing to ensure the authenticity and reliability of the data, providing a data basis for subsequent system optimization.
[0058] According to the on-site network environment and data acquisition equipment support, the domestic data acquisition equipment uses the ModbusRTU protocol. However, considering that Modbus TCP is given priority in the wired network environment to improve data transmission speed and stability, the intermediate gateway is used to convert the Modbus RTU protocol to the Modbus TCP protocol, and the simulation data is transmitted in the form of IEEE754, such as Figure 6 . Define the data mapping relationship between the simulation model and the real-time data acquisition system in detail to ensure that each key parameter (such as turbine speed, flow, pressure, etc.) can accurately correspond between the simulation model and the data acquisition system. According to the operating characteristics of the steam turbine unit and the simulation requirements, set the update frequency of real-time data synchronization to ensure that the simulation model can reflect the real-time status of the equipment in a timely manner.
[0059] It is further defined that in step 2, different operating conditions include dynamic operating conditions and steady-state operating conditions.
[0060] Specifically, the virtual test of the steam turbine unit is mainly carried out around steady-state conditions and dynamic conditions. The steady-state condition simulates the state of the unit when it is running stably under rated load or partial load, focusing on analyzing the key parameters of the unit pressure, flow, power and efficiency in the stable operation of the system. The dynamic condition mainly simulates the dynamic adjustment process of the unit under different load demands, including load increase and load decrease, focusing on analyzing the stability and response speed of the system during the dynamic adjustment process.
[0061] Given the upstream and downstream parameter boundaries of the steam turbine unit model, virtual tests are carried out during the unit startup and power increase process, the stable process under rated load and partial load, and the rapid load increase / decrease process. Finally, the unit speed, thermal power, motor power and steam flow results are obtained as follows: Figure 7 shown.
