Abstract
Description

[0002] During normal operation of the steam turbine in a thermal power plant, the main steam valve is always in the fully open position. During long-term operation, the valve may become stuck due to dust accumulation, corrosion, mechanical wear, etc. Regular valve activity tests can effectively prevent the valve from getting stuck and ensure that it can be opened or closed quickly and accurately when needed. Therefore, how to improve the reliability of the main steam valve activity test process and ensure that the main steam valve can automatically reset the command when a fault occurs is a topic worth studying.
[0003] At present, the reset conditions for the main steam valve activity test of the steam turbine in a thermal power plant are only used for automatic reset after a certain time has passed since the start of the test or when the steam turbine trips or the generator trips. That is, the main steam valve is reopened a certain time after the main steam valve test command is issued, and there are no other reset conditions. Once the main steam valve becomes stuck or the servo valve fails, causing the main steam valve to close too quickly, it is very easy for the main steam valve to be completely closed, causing a turbine tripping accident.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments.

Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0044] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.
[0045] Example 1
[0046] Reference Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, and provides a method for self-resetting a main steam valve feedback fault in a thermal power plant, comprising:
[0047] S1: Issue the main steam valve activity test command;
[0048] S2: Real-time measurement of the main steam valve opening and transmission of feedback signals to the control system;
[0049] S3: Perform condition judgment and set value adjustment based on the feedback signal and perform the first operation;
[0050] S4: The control system compares the deviation between the command opening and the actual feedback opening of the main steam valve in real time and performs the second operation.
[0051] It should be noted that, during the operation of the steam turbine in a thermal power plant, regular main steam valve activity tests are an important measure to ensure that the main steam valve can be opened or closed quickly and accurately when needed. This embodiment adds two new reset conditions on the original basis through S1-S4 to improve the reliability and safety of the test.
[0052] Example 2
[0053] Reference Figure 1 , which is an embodiment of the present invention, provides a method for self-resetting a main steam valve feedback fault in a thermal power plant based on the previous embodiment, comprising:
[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, issuing a main valve activity test instruction in the above step S1 includes:
[0055] The operator clicks the main steam valve online activity test button on the DEH control system screen to issue a main steam valve closing command;
[0056] After receiving the command, the hydraulic servo module gradually closes the main steam valve.
[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, the real-time measurement of the opening of the main steam valve in the above step S2 and the transmission of the feedback signal to the control system include:
[0058] LVDT sensor measurement: Use LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) sensor to measure the main steam valve opening in real time. LVDT sensor is a high-precision and high-reliability displacement measurement device that can accurately reflect the actual opening of the main steam valve.
[0059] Signal conversion and transmission: The LVDT sensor converts the measured main steam valve opening into a corresponding electrical signal. This electrical signal is then transmitted to the control system via cables or other transmission media to ensure the real-time and accuracy of the data.
[0060] Control system reception and processing: After receiving the electrical signal from the LVDT sensor, the control system performs necessary signal processing and conversion to restore it to the actual opening value of the main steam valve. This step ensures that the control system can accurately grasp the current state of the main steam valve.
[0061] Real-time monitoring and feedback: The control system not only receives and processes the main steam valve opening signal, but also monitors the changes of this signal in real time. By constantly comparing the command opening and the actual feedback opening, the control system can promptly detect any deviation or abnormality, providing an important basis for subsequent control and adjustment.
[0062] It should be noted that the real-time measurement and feedback mechanism is the key link to ensure the smooth progress of the main valve activity test, which relies on the high-precision measurement of the LVDT sensor and the efficient processing of the control system.
[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, in the above step S3, condition judgment and setting value adjustment are performed based on the feedback signal, and the first operation includes:
[0064] Condition judgment: If the opening feedback of the main steam valve is less than the preset first threshold, the control system immediately issues a reset command to reopen the main steam valve to the fully open position;
[0065] The first threshold is modified in real time according to actual conditions.
[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the initial value of the first threshold is preferably 70%, and the first threshold can be adjusted according to the actual flow characteristic curve of the main steam valve to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the test.
[0067] It should be noted that the main steam valve opening feedback is less than 70% automatic reset, which can ensure that the valve returns to the fully open position immediately after 30% of the movement. The 70% feedback position reset can verify whether the main steam valve action is normal and flexible. At the same time, according to the flow characteristic curve of the main steam valve, it can be seen that when the main steam valve is opened at a large degree, the pressure difference before and after the valve becomes smaller, and the steam flow through the valve is correspondingly smaller, which has little effect on the load change of the unit.
[0068] In another possible implementation manner, the first operation may also include real-time correction of main valve opening feedback:
[0069] When the main steam valve opening feedback is less than the preset threshold (such as 70%), the control system will not only automatically reset the main steam valve to the fully open position, but also correct the feedback signal in real time, eliminate sensor errors or drifts, and ensure the accuracy of the feedback signal.
[0070] It should be noted that this helps to improve the accuracy and reliability of the feedback signal and reduce the impact of errors on the test results.
[0071] In another possible implementation, the first operation may further include adjusting a preset action range:
[0072] According to the test requirements and the actual operation of the equipment, the action range and feedback threshold of the main steam valve are dynamically adjusted. For example, different opening feedback thresholds are set under different operating conditions to adapt to different test requirements.
[0073] It should be noted that this helps to improve the flexibility and adaptability of the test and meet the test requirements under different working conditions.
[0074] In another possible implementation, the first operation may also include real-time data recording and analysis:
[0075] When the main steam valve opening feedback is less than the preset threshold, the relevant data during the test (such as timestamp, opening change curve, etc.) are automatically recorded, and real-time analysis is performed to generate a preliminary diagnosis report.
[0076] It should be noted that this helps provide data support, facilitates subsequent fault diagnosis and performance optimization, and improves test efficiency and reliability.
[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, in the above step S4, the control system compares the deviation between the command opening and the actual feedback opening of the main steam valve in real time, and performs the second operation including:
[0078] Deviation calculation: The control system calculates the deviation between the command opening of the main steam valve and the actual feedback opening in real time. This deviation reflects the difference between the actual position of the current main steam valve and the command position.
[0079] Deviation judgment: The control system judges whether the deviation is within the acceptable range according to the preset deviation threshold. If the deviation is greater than the preset second threshold, it is considered that there is a significant deviation between the actual opening of the main steam valve and the command opening.
[0080] Triggering the second operation: When the control system detects that the deviation between the command and the feedback is greater than the preset second threshold, the second operation is triggered. The specific operations include:
[0081] Automatic reset: The control system sends a command to the actuator to reset the main steam valve to the fully open (or fully closed) position. This operation is intended to eliminate deviations and ensure that the main steam valve returns to the expected state.
[0082] Trigger alarm: At the same time, the control system will also trigger sound and light alarm signals to remind the operating personnel to pay attention to the abnormal status of the main steam valve and take corresponding measures.
[0083] Triggering of alarm signal: When the deviation is greater than the preset second threshold, the control system will send out an alarm signal, including an audible alarm and a flashing screen prompt. This helps the operator to find the problem in time and take actions, such as stopping the test and notifying the maintenance personnel to check the main steam valve.
[0084] Operator response: After receiving the alarm signal, the operator should immediately stop the main steam valve activity test and notify the maintenance personnel to inspect and repair the main steam valve to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the equipment.
[0085] In the embodiment of the present application, the initial value of the second threshold is preferably 3%.
[0086] It should be noted that the main steam valve command and feedback deviation is greater than 3% automatic reset, which can prevent the main steam valve from being stuck or the servo valve failure causing the main steam valve to close too quickly, causing the main steam valve to close completely, causing unit load fluctuations, and even causing unit shutdown accidents in severe cases. Under normal circumstances, the main steam valve feedback should be able to respond quickly to the change of the command. The deviation between the command and feedback exceeds 3%, which can indicate that the main steam valve is stuck, or the main steam valve servo valve fails, causing the valve opening to be unable to be maintained.
[0087] In another possible implementation, the control system will record the deviation value, alarm information and other relevant data in this test for subsequent analysis and reference, which helps to optimize the test process and improve the operational stability of the equipment.
[0088] In another possible implementation, the second operation may also include automatic fault diagnosis and repair:
[0089] When the control system detects that the deviation between the command and feedback is greater than the preset threshold (such as 3%), it not only triggers automatic reset and alarm, but also starts the fault diagnosis program, automatically checks possible fault points (such as sensors, servo valves, etc.), and attempts to make preliminary repairs.
[0090] It should be noted that this helps to improve the automatic maintenance capability of the equipment, reduce manual intervention, and shorten fault handling time.
[0091] In another possible implementation, the second operation may further include adjusting the operation strategy:
[0092] When the deviation is greater than the preset threshold, the control system can adjust the operating strategy according to the actual situation, such as reducing the main steam valve closing speed, limiting the maximum closing rate, etc., to reduce the impact on the unit load.
[0093] It should be noted that this helps to enhance the system's adaptive capabilities, reduce the impact of faults on unit operations, and improve operational stability.
[0094] In another possible implementation, the second operation may also include remote monitoring and intervention:
[0095] After the alarm signal is triggered, not only the on-site operating personnel are notified, but the main steam valve status can also be monitored in real time through the remote monitoring system (such as the plant-level monitoring system or external technical support team), and remote intervention or technical support can be carried out.
[0096] It should be noted that this helps to improve the response speed and efficiency of troubleshooting, especially in emergency situations, and can quickly obtain support from external experts.
