Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steam turbine protection, and in particular to a protection method and system for preventing water hammer from occurring in a steam turbine. Background Art
[0002] The existing method of judging whether there is condensed water only by whether there is conductivity between a single electrical contact and the pipe wall is incomplete. When the amount of condensed water is small, the condensed water may condense into beads and not at the electrical contact, or the amount of condensed water is not enough to form a path between the electrical contact and the pipe wall. At this time, the condensed water in the steam cannot be detected. Summary of the invention
[0003] In view of the problems existing in the existing protection and system for preventing water hammer from occurring in steam turbines, the present invention is proposed.
[0004] Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is that the judgment effect of the existing method is not comprehensive.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for protecting a steam turbine from water hammer, comprising the following steps:
[0007] Conductivity probes are installed on the steam turbine inlet pipe, steam turbine exhaust pipe, steam extraction and exhaust pipe, and shaft seal steam leakage pipe, and the upper and lower limits of conductivity are set for each conductivity probe;
[0008] The conductivity signal collected by the conductivity probe is used to determine whether the steam at the corresponding position is in a water-containing state;
[0009] Interlocking protection is carried out through the DCS control system.
[0010] As a preferred solution of the protection method for preventing water hammer of the steam turbine of the present invention, the upper limit value of the conductivity probe is the conductivity value of normal dry steam plus the conductivity change of the steam turbine running with water;
[0011] The lower limit of the conductivity probe is the conductivity value of normal dry steam minus the conductivity change when the turbine is running with water.
[0012] As a preferred solution of the protection method for preventing water hammer from occurring in a steam turbine according to the present invention, the operation steps of the DCS control system include:
[0013] When the conductivity probe on the steam inlet pipe of the steam turbine detects that the conductivity is greater than the set upper limit, it will enter the delayed tripping interlock;
[0014] When the conductivity is lower than the set lower limit again, the delayed tripping interlock is eliminated and a timer is added to the control logic;
[0015] After the trip, the timer starts timing. If the steam conductivity of the steam inlet pipe detected by the conductivity probe is greater than the set upper limit again after the timer reaches the set time, the timer is reset and the conductivity probe is flushed, and the timer is cleared;
[0016] The upper and lower limits of the conductivity probe on the exhaust steam pipe are set to 0 in the DCS control system. Multiple conductivity probes are installed on the exhaust steam pipe. If the conductivity detected by the conductivity probe at one position is greater than the set upper limit, it is determined that feed water backflow occurs on the exhaust steam pipe, and the timer is triggered;
[0017] If the detection values of two consecutive conductivity probes are greater than the set upper limit at the same time, and the timer reaches the set time, the turbine will be started to shut down, so that the steam inlet, extraction and exhaust of the turbine will be interlocked and the turbine will enter the shutdown process;
[0018] If the conductivity probe detection values at only two consecutive positions are greater than the set upper limit value at the same time, the timer count will be reset;
[0019] During the timing process, the change of the conductivity probe detection signal is detected. If the exhaust pipe has feed water backflow and the conductivity probe detection value is less than the set upper limit, the timer is reset and the turbine continues to run.
[0020] If the conductivity probe detection value is still at the set upper limit after the timer exceeds the set value, the turbine will be started to shut down the steam inlet, extraction and exhaust, and the turbine will enter the shutdown process.
[0021] As a preferred solution of the protection method for preventing water hammer from occurring in a steam turbine according to the present invention, the operation steps of the DCS control system further include:
[0022] Install conductivity probe on the steam extraction pipeline and set upper and lower limits;
[0023] If the conductivity of the conductivity probe is greater than the set upper limit, and the conductivity detected at two consecutive positions is greater than the set upper limit, the extraction interlock is triggered to close, the turbine is started to shut down, the steam inlet, extraction and exhaust of the turbine are interlocked and closed, and the turbine enters the shutdown process;
[0024] Two interlocking conductivity probes are installed at the inlet and outlet of the shaft seal leakage pipe, and the upper and lower limits of the conductivity are set;
[0025] If the conductivity of the conductivity probe is greater than the set upper limit value, and the conductivity detected at the first position is greater than the set upper limit value and lasts for a period of time, the first conductivity probe interlock is triggered, and the direction of steam entering the steam extraction pipeline from the turbine shaft seal pipeline is determined through logical configuration;
[0026] If the conductivity detected at the first position is greater than the set upper limit and returns to the set lower limit, the steam seal system of the steam turbine is self-sealed through the shaft seal steam supply system. If the conductivity detected at the second position increases, it is confirmed that steam has entered the steam extraction pipeline from the steam turbine shaft seal pipeline, and the steam turbine is started to open the gate, so that the steam inlet, extraction and exhaust of the steam turbine are interlocked and closed, and the steam turbine enters the shutdown process;
[0027] When the conductivity of the conductivity probe is less than the set lower limit, the logic configuration determines that the steam seal system has returned to stability and triggers the second conductivity probe to be interlocked and eliminated. If the conductivity of the conductivity probe is greater than the set upper limit again and is re-triggered, the first judgment is performed again and the cycle continues.
[0028] As a preferred solution of the protection method for preventing water hammer of the steam turbine according to the present invention, the upper limit value of the conductivity of the steam inlet pipe is 1.2 times the maximum conductivity of the normal steam turbine detected by the conductivity probe during the startup and warm-up process, and the lower limit value of the conductivity is set to the conductivity of normal dry steam;
[0029] When the conductivity detected by the conductivity probe of the steam inlet pipe exceeds 1.2 times the maximum conductivity of the normal turbine warm-up when starting, and the signal lasts for more than 3S, the steam inlet pipe interlock of the turbine is triggered, and the DCS trips with a delay time of 3S to 5S.
[0030] The DCS logic configuration determines that the steam inlet pipe conductivity probe detects that the steam inlet pipe conductivity is less than the upper limit of the conductivity probe conductivity again, and the duration is more than 5S, and the delayed tripping interlock is released;
[0031] If the delayed trip interlock is not released within the set time range, the logic configuration adds a interlock flushing procedure, the timer in the DCS is reset to zero, so that the steam conductivity of the steam inlet pipe detected by the steam inlet pipe conductivity probe is greater than the set upper limit again, and the delayed trip interlock procedure is restarted;
[0032] After the DCS timer is reset, the DCS logic configuration is used to delay for 2 seconds. If the conductivity of the steam inlet pipe is detected to be greater than the upper limit of the conductivity probe again, the conductivity probe is flushed and purged 3 to 5 times through the DCS control program, each time lasting 5 to 10 seconds, and the cumulative flushing times are increased by 1. If the steam inlet pipe conductivity probe interlock is continuously triggered after 4 times, the DCS interlock delay trips, otherwise the next step is carried out;
[0033] After the time in the DCS timer expires, if the value detected by the steam inlet pipe conductivity probe is still greater than the upper limit of the conductivity probe, the steam inlet pipe conductivity probe interlock is triggered and the DCS interlock delay trips, otherwise the next step is performed.
[0034] As a preferred solution of the protection method for preventing water hammer of the steam turbine described in the present invention, when the conductivity probe detects that the conductivity is greater than the set upper limit value, the location where the feed water backflow occurs in the exhaust pipe is determined by the logic configuration in the DCS.
[0035] As a preferred solution of the protection method for preventing water hammer of the steam turbine of the present invention, a timer is added to the DCS logic configuration of the steam turbine system. If the conductivity detected by the conductivity probe of the shaft seal system recovers to the set lower limit value again within the time of the timer, it is determined that the normal shaft seal drain leaks into the steam extraction pipeline;
[0036] If the timer is within the timing, and if the conductivity probe detection value is not less than the timer upper limit value, it is determined that the shaft seal is backflowing, the timer is triggered, the turbine is started to open the gate, and the steam inlet, extraction and exhaust of the turbine are interlocked and closed, and the turbine enters the shutdown process.
[0037] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a protection system for preventing water hammer from occurring in a steam turbine, comprising: a conductivity measurement module, a signal processing module, a DCS control system module, and an abnormal interlock processing module;
[0038] The conductivity measurement module is used to measure the conductivity in the steam to determine whether the steam contains water;
[0039] The signal processing module is used to process through a signal converter so that the DCS system can read;
[0040] The DCS control system module is responsible for receiving the signal from the conductivity probe and performing logical judgment according to the preset conductivity upper limit and lower limit;
[0041] The abnormal interlock processing module specifies the interlock processing flow when abnormal conditions occur in the equipment, requiring timely alarm and taking corresponding emergency measures.
[0042] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a computer device, including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, wherein: when the processor executes the computer program, any step of the above-mentioned protection method for preventing water hammer from occurring in a steam turbine is implemented.
[0043] In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein: when the computer program is executed by a processor, any step of the above-mentioned protection method for preventing water hammer from occurring in a steam turbine is implemented.
[0044] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: conductivity measuring points are installed on steam inlet, exhaust steam, shaft seal leakage and other pipelines of the steam turbine. When the steam inlet of the steam turbine carries water, the steam entering the steam turbine is in a wet steam state. At this time, the conductivity is greatly increased compared with the normal dry steam conductivity. Interlocks such as alarms and turbine tripping can be added in the DCS. When feed water backflows into the exhaust steam and shaft seal leakage pipelines, the conductivity in the pipeline increases from the conductivity of dry steam to the conductivity of desalted water. The DCS interlock is used to close the relevant valves and exit the relevant systems until the machine is shut down. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0053] Example 1
[0054] Reference Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a method for protecting a steam turbine from water hammer, comprising the following steps:
[0055] S1. Install conductivity probes on the steam turbine inlet pipe, steam turbine exhaust pipe, steam extraction and exhaust pipe and shaft seal steam leakage pipe, and set the upper and lower limits of conductivity for each conductivity probe.
[0056] Conductivity is an important indicator for measuring the ion concentration in water or steam. By installing conductivity probes, the conductivity changes of the media (mainly water and steam) in these pipes can be monitored in real time. This is essential to ensure the safe operation of equipment and improve efficiency. High conductivity usually means higher ion concentration, which may cause corrosion or scaling of pipes and equipment, thereby affecting the performance of the turbine. By setting reasonable upper and lower limits of conductivity, once an abnormality is detected, timely measures can be taken to adjust the water quality, thereby effectively preventing these problems from occurring.
[0057] The upper limit of the conductivity probe is the conductivity value of normal dry steam plus the conductivity change of the turbine running with water;
[0058] The lower limit of the conductivity probe is the conductivity value of normal dry steam minus the conductivity change when the turbine is running with water.
[0059] S2. The conductivity signal collected by the conductivity probe is used to determine whether the steam at the corresponding position is in a water-containing state.
[0060] If there is water in the steam, its conductivity will be significantly higher than that of dry steam. Therefore, the conductivity probe can be used to very accurately identify whether there is water in the steam. The conductivity probe can immediately reflect the change of the steam state. When the steam begins to contain water, the probe can respond quickly and provide timely warnings to the operator so that necessary measures can be taken. Unlike some measurement methods that require direct contact with the steam, the conductivity probe can be measured indirectly (such as through the pipe wall), which reduces the impact on the normal operation of the system and also reduces the difficulty of maintenance.
[0061] S3. Interlocking protection is carried out through the DCS control system.
[0062] The operation steps of the DCS control system include:
[0063] When the conductivity probe on the steam inlet pipe of the steam turbine detects that the conductivity is greater than the set upper limit, it will enter the delayed tripping interlock;
[0064] When the conductivity is lower than the set lower limit again, the delayed tripping interlock is eliminated and a timer is added to the control logic;
[0065] After the trip, the timer starts timing. If the steam conductivity of the steam inlet pipe detected by the conductivity probe is greater than the set upper limit again after the timer reaches the set time, the timer is reset and the conductivity probe is flushed, and the timer is cleared;
[0066] The upper and lower limits of the conductivity probe on the exhaust steam pipe are set to 0 in the DCS control system. Multiple conductivity probes are installed on the exhaust steam pipe. If the conductivity detected by the conductivity probe at one position is greater than the set upper limit, it is determined that feed water backflow occurs on the exhaust steam pipe, and the timer is triggered;
[0067] If the detection values of two consecutive conductivity probes are greater than the set upper limit at the same time, and the timer reaches the set time, the turbine will be started to shut down, so that the steam inlet, extraction and exhaust of the turbine will be interlocked and the turbine will enter the shutdown process;
[0068] If the conductivity probe detection values at only two consecutive positions are greater than the set upper limit value at the same time, the timer count will be reset;
[0069] During the timing process, the change of the conductivity probe detection signal is detected. If the exhaust pipe has feed water backflow and the conductivity probe detection value is less than the set upper limit, the timer is reset and the turbine continues to run.
[0070] If the conductivity probe detection value is still at the set upper limit after the timer exceeds the set value, the turbine will be started to shut down the steam inlet, extraction and exhaust, and the turbine will enter the shutdown process.
[0071] The operation steps of the DCS control system also include:
[0072] Install conductivity probe on the steam extraction pipeline and set upper and lower limits;
[0073] If the conductivity of the conductivity probe is greater than the set upper limit, and the conductivity detected at two consecutive positions is greater than the set upper limit, the extraction interlock is triggered to close, the turbine is started to shut down, the steam inlet, extraction and exhaust of the turbine are interlocked and closed, and the turbine enters the shutdown process;
[0074] Two interlocking conductivity probes are installed at the inlet and outlet of the shaft seal leakage pipe, and the upper and lower limits of the conductivity are set;
[0075] If the conductivity of the conductivity probe is greater than the set upper limit value, and the conductivity detected at the first position is greater than the set upper limit value and lasts for a period of time, the first conductivity probe interlock is triggered, and the direction of steam entering the steam extraction pipeline from the turbine shaft seal pipeline is determined through logical configuration;
[0076] If the conductivity detected at the first position is greater than the set upper limit and returns to the set lower limit, the steam seal system of the steam turbine is self-sealed through the shaft seal steam supply system. If the conductivity detected at the second position increases, it is confirmed that steam has entered the steam extraction pipeline from the steam turbine shaft seal pipeline, and the steam turbine is started to open the gate, so that the steam inlet, extraction and exhaust of the steam turbine are interlocked and closed, and the steam turbine enters the shutdown process;
[0077] When the conductivity of the conductivity probe is less than the set lower limit, the logic configuration determines that the steam seal system has returned to stability and triggers the second conductivity probe to be interlocked and eliminated. If the conductivity of the conductivity probe is greater than the set upper limit again and is re-triggered, the first judgment is performed again and the cycle continues.
[0078] 5. The upper limit of the conductivity of the steam inlet pipe is 1.2 times the maximum conductivity of the normal steam turbine detected by the conductivity probe during the startup and warm-up process, and the lower limit of the conductivity is set to the conductivity of normal dry steam;
[0079] When the conductivity detected by the conductivity probe of the steam inlet pipe exceeds 1.2 times the maximum conductivity of the normal turbine warm-up when starting, and the signal lasts for more than 3S, the steam inlet pipe interlock of the turbine is triggered, and the DCS trips with a delay time of 3S to 5S.
[0080] The DCS logic configuration determines that the steam inlet pipe conductivity probe detects that the steam inlet pipe conductivity is less than the upper limit of the conductivity probe conductivity again, and the duration is more than 5S, and the delayed tripping interlock is released;
[0081] If the delayed trip interlock is not released within the set time range, the logic configuration adds a interlock flushing procedure, the timer in the DCS is reset to zero, so that the steam conductivity of the steam inlet pipe detected by the steam inlet pipe conductivity probe is greater than the set upper limit again, and the delayed trip interlock procedure is restarted;
[0082] After the DCS timer is reset, the DCS logic configuration is used to delay for 2 seconds. If the conductivity of the steam inlet pipe is detected to be greater than the upper limit of the conductivity probe again, the conductivity probe is flushed and purged 3 to 5 times through the DCS control program, each time lasting 5 to 10 seconds, and the cumulative flushing times are increased by 1. If the steam inlet pipe conductivity probe interlock is continuously triggered after 4 times, the DCS interlock delay trips, otherwise the next step is carried out;
[0083] After the time in the DCS timer expires, if the value detected by the steam inlet pipe conductivity probe is still greater than the upper limit of the conductivity probe, the steam inlet pipe conductivity probe interlock is triggered and the DCS interlock delay trips, otherwise the next step is performed.
[0084] When the conductivity probe detects that the conductivity is greater than the set upper limit, the logic configuration in the DCS is used to determine the location where the make-up water backflow occurs in the exhaust pipe.
[0085] A timer is added to the DCS logic configuration of the steam turbine system. If the conductivity detected by the conductivity probe of the shaft seal system of the steam turbine system returns to the set lower limit value within the time of the timer, it is determined that the normal shaft seal drain has leaked into the steam extraction pipeline.
[0086] If the timer is within the timing, and if the conductivity probe detection value is not less than the timer upper limit value, it is determined that the shaft seal is backflowing, the timer is triggered, the turbine is started to open the gate, and the steam inlet, extraction and exhaust of the turbine are interlocked and closed, and the turbine enters the shutdown process.
[0087] When the shaft seal system is backflowing, the timer can immediately trigger the protection mechanism, start the turbine brake, ensure that the turbine stops running quickly, and prevent potential safety accidents. The shaft seal backflow may cause steam to enter the shaft seal system, causing equipment overheating, corrosion or other mechanical failures. By shutting down in time, these damages can be effectively avoided and the life of the equipment can be extended. Secondly, by setting the timer, the system can observe the change of conductivity within a certain period of time. If the conductivity returns to the set lower limit before the end of the timer, it means that the shaft seal is drained normally; otherwise, it is judged as shaft seal backflow. This method improves the accuracy of judgment and avoids misjudgment.
[0088] In summary, conductivity measuring points are installed on the turbine steam inlet, exhaust steam, shaft seal leakage and other pipelines. When the turbine steam inlet carries water, the steam entering the turbine is in a wet steam state. At this time, the conductivity is greatly increased compared to the normal dry steam conductivity. In the DCS, alarms, turbine tripping and other interlocks can be added. When feed water backflows into the exhaust steam and shaft seal leakage pipelines, the conductivity in the pipeline increases from the conductivity of dry steam to the conductivity of desalted water. The relevant valves are closed through the DCS interlock to exit the relevant systems until the machine is shut down.

The method for protecting a steam turbine from water hammer as claimed in claim 4, characterized in that: The upper limit value of the conductivity of the steam inlet pipe is 1.2 times the maximum conductivity of the normal steam turbine detected by the conductivity probe during the startup and warm-up process, and the lower limit value of the conductivity is set to the conductivity of normal dry steam; When the conductivity detected by the conductivity probe of the steam inlet pipe exceeds 1.2 times the maximum conductivity of the normal turbine warm-up when starting, and the signal lasts for more than 3S, the steam inlet pipe interlock of the turbine is triggered, and the DCS trips with a delay time of 3S to 5S. The DCS logic configuration determines that the steam inlet pipe conductivity probe detects that the steam inlet pipe conductivity is less than the upper limit of the conductivity probe conductivity again, and the duration is more than 5S, and the delayed tripping interlock is released; If the delayed trip interlock is not released within the set time range, the logic configuration adds a interlock flushing procedure, the timer in the DCS is reset to zero, so that the steam conductivity of the steam inlet pipe detected by the steam inlet pipe conductivity probe is greater than the set upper limit again, and the delayed trip interlock procedure is restarted; After the DCS timer is reset, the DCS logic configuration is used to delay for 2 seconds. If the conductivity of the steam inlet pipe is detected to be greater than the upper limit of the conductivity probe again, the conductivity probe is flushed and purged 3 to 5 times through the DCS control program, each time lasting 5 to 10 seconds, and the cumulative flushing times are increased by 1. If the steam inlet pipe conductivity probe interlock is continuously triggered after 4 times, the DCS interlock delay trips, otherwise the next step is carried out; After the time in the DCS timer expires, if the value detected by the steam inlet pipe conductivity probe is still greater than the upper limit of the conductivity probe, the steam inlet pipe conductivity probe interlock is triggered and the DCS interlock delay trips, otherwise the next step is performed.
6. The method for protecting a steam turbine from water hammer as claimed in claim 5, characterized in that: When the conductivity probe detects that the conductivity is greater than the set upper limit, the logic configuration in the DCS is used to determine the location where the make-up water backflow occurs in the exhaust pipe.

If the conductivity detected by the conductivity probe of the shaft seal system of the steam turbine system returns to the set lower limit value within the time of the timer, it is determined that the normal shaft seal drain has leaked into the steam extraction pipeline. If the timer is within the timing, and if the conductivity probe detection value is not less than the timer upper limit value, it is determined that the shaft seal is backflowing, the timer is triggered, the turbine is started to open the gate, and the steam inlet, extraction and exhaust of the turbine are interlocked and closed, and the turbine enters the shutdown process.
