Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of thermal protection logic construction, and in particular to a method and system for improving the reliability of thermal three-out-of-two protection logic in a thermal power plant. Background Art

[0002] The so-called "thermal protection" refers to the automatic operation of related systems or equipment according to the nature and degree of the abnormal situation or accident in the thermal production process, in accordance with the predetermined processing procedures, in order to eliminate the abnormality and prevent the expansion of the accident, and ensure the safety of personnel and equipment. According to the different objects of protection, thermal protection can be roughly divided into: unit protection, boiler protection, steam turbine protection, electrical protection, auxiliary machine protection and auxiliary system protection.

[0003] According to industry standards, no matter the object of protection is a unit, boiler, steam turbine or auxiliary equipment, its protection should adopt three-out-of-three logic judgment method (if there are four measuring points, use four-out-of-two), such as low feed water flow protection and drum water level protection in the boiler main protection; low lubricating oil tank level protection and EH oil pressure low protection in the steam turbine main protection; water cut-off protection in electrical protection, etc. Most power plants use the analog signal from three local measuring points to compare with the fixed value and then make a three-out-of-two judgment.

[0004] However, due to irregular installation of measuring points, unreasonable sampling methods, quality problems of transmitters, or maintenance problems, protection malfunctions or refusal to operate due to measuring point failures often occur. In addition to ensuring that measuring points are installed in accordance with regulations, sampling methods are reasonable, transmitter quality is improved, and maintenance is strengthened, it is also necessary to strengthen logical reliability when building configuration logic. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is proposed.

[0020] As a preferred solution of the method for improving the reliability of the thermal three-out-of-two protection logic of a thermal power plant described in the present invention, the bad quality judgment includes: making a quality judgment on the analog quantities of the three measuring points, if the signal is of bad quality, outputting a switch quantity 1, if the signal is of good quality, outputting a switch quantity 0, and obtaining three switch quantity signals, which are the fourth signal, the fifth signal and the sixth signal respectively.

[0021] Generating the seventh signal includes inputting the fourth signal, the fifth signal and the sixth signal into a three-to-two module, and when at least two of the three input signals are 1, the fourth signal is output as 1, otherwise the output is 0.

[0022] As a preferred solution of the method for improving the reliability of the thermal three-out-of-two protection logic of a thermal power plant described in the present invention, the generating of the eighth signal includes inputting the first signal, the second signal, the third signal and the seventh signal into a four-out-of-two module, and when at least two of the four input signals are 1, the fifth signal is output as 1, otherwise the output is 0.

[0023] As a preferred solution of the method for improving the reliability of the thermal three-out-of-two protection logic of a thermal power plant described in the present invention, wherein: the generation of a ninth signal for detecting a complete failure of a measuring point includes inputting the fourth signal, the fifth signal and the sixth signal into an AND module, and when the three input signals are all 1, the ninth signal output is 1, otherwise the output is 0.

[0024] As a preferred solution of the method for improving the reliability of the thermal three-out-of-two protection logic of a thermal power plant described in the present invention, the generating of the tenth signal includes inputting the eighth signal and the ninth signal into an OR operation module, and when either the eighth signal or the ninth signal is 1, the tenth signal is output as 1, otherwise the output is 0.

[0025] Another object of the present invention is to provide a system for improving the reliability of the thermal three-out-of-two protection logic of a thermal power plant. The system can solve the problem of false operation and refusal to operate caused by measurement point failures in the existing thermal protection system of a thermal power plant by constructing a multi-signal redundant judgment system based on bad quality signals, thereby effectively improving the system reliability and adaptability.

[0030] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The method for improving the reliability of the thermal three-out-of-two protection logic of a thermal power plant provided by the present invention introduces redundant judgment of bad quality signals, changes the traditional "three-out-of-two" judgment to "four-out-of-two" and adds additional logical judgment, which can more flexibly deal with measurement point failure situations. In the case of failure of two measurement points, the logic can still judge normally and trigger the protection instead of refusing to move. At the same time, when all measurement points fail, the system can also shut down or alarm in time to avoid potential hazards. The method can choose whether to shut down directly or only trigger an alarm when all measurement points fail according to actual conditions, so as to adapt to the operating requirements of different power plants. The optimization logic is based on the improvement of the existing DCS system module, does not require additional hardware, and is easy to integrate and implement in the existing thermal power plant system.

[0070] An embodiment of the present invention is different from the first two embodiments in that:

[0071] If the functions are implemented in the form of software functional units and sold or used as independent products, they can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present invention, or the part that contributes to the prior art or the part of the technical solution, can be embodied in the form of a software product. The computer software product is stored in a storage medium, including several instructions for a computer device (which can be a personal computer, a server, or a network device, etc.) to perform all or part of the steps of the methods described in each embodiment of the present invention. The aforementioned storage medium includes: U disk, mobile hard disk, read-only memory (ROM, Read-Only Memory), random access memory (RAM, Random Access Memory), disk or optical disk, etc., which can store program codes.

[0072] The logic and / or steps represented in the flowchart or otherwise described herein, for example, can be considered as an ordered list of executable instructions for implementing logical functions, and can be embodied in any computer-readable medium for use by an instruction execution system, device or apparatus (such as a computer-based system, a system including a processor, or other system that can fetch instructions from an instruction execution system, device or apparatus and execute instructions), or in conjunction with such instruction execution systems, devices or apparatuses. For the purposes of this specification, "computer-readable medium" can be any device that can contain, store, communicate, propagate or transmit a program for use by an instruction execution system, device or apparatus, or in conjunction with such instruction execution systems, devices or apparatuses.

[0073] More specific examples of computer-readable media (a non-exhaustive list) include the following: an electrical connection with one or more wires (electronic device), a portable computer disk case (magnetic device), a random access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an erasable and programmable read-only memory (EPROM or flash memory), an optical fiber device, and a portable compact disk read-only memory (CDROM). In addition, the computer-readable medium may even be a paper or other suitable medium on which the program is printed, since the program may be obtained electronically, for example, by optically scanning the paper or other medium, followed by editing, deciphering or, if necessary, processing in another suitable manner, and then stored in a computer memory.

[0074] It should be understood that the various parts of the present invention can be implemented by hardware, software, firmware or a combination thereof.

[0075] Through the above description of the implementation methods, the technicians in the relevant field can clearly understand that the present invention can be implemented by means of software and necessary general hardware, and of course can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method. Based on such an understanding, the technical solution of the present invention is essentially or the part that contributes to the prior art can be embodied in the form of a software product, and the computer software product can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium, such as a computer floppy disk, read-only memory (ReadOnly, Memory, ROM), random access memory (RandomAccess Memory, RAM), flash memory (FLASH), hard disk or optical disk, etc., including a number of instructions for a computer device (which can be a personal computer, server, or network device, etc.) to perform the methods of various embodiments of the present invention.

[0076] Example 4, reference Figure 3-Figure 5 , which is an embodiment of the present invention, provides a method for improving the reliability of thermal three-out-of-two protection logic in a thermal power plant, comprising:

[0077] Common three-out-of-two protection logic construction methods in power plants are as follows: Figure 5~3 As shown, take the low level protection of the steam turbine lubricating oil tank as an example:

[0078] Figure 3 This is a common three-out-of-two protection construction method 1. The median value of three local lubricating oil tank level measurement points is taken and compared with the set value. If it is lower than the set value, the protection is triggered. The three-out-of-two module is usually a DCS built-in module with bad quality judgment and large deviation judgment functions. When one measurement point is bad, the logic is transformed into the average of the remaining two good points. When two points are bad, the logic is transformed into the remaining one good point. The disadvantages of this logic are: (1) The result after the three-out-of-two module is usually also used for unit analog quantity adjustment. During operation, a certain point may be selected according to the needs of the site to be fixed as the value after the three-out-of-two. If the fixed point sample suddenly leaks or the transmitter suddenly fails, the measured result may become 0 or a very small value, which will cause the protection to malfunction. (2) If one of the three measurement points is a bad point and is eliminated, the logic is transformed into a two-out-of-two average. Although one of the points is a good point, the measurement is inaccurate and becomes a maximum or minimum value. The result after the two-out-of-two average is also a maximum or minimum value, which will cause the protection to malfunction or refuse to operate. It can be seen from this that this method of using the three-out-of-three method instead of the three-out-of-two method has a great risk of false operation and refusal to operate.

[0079] Figure 4This is the common three-out-of-two protection construction method 2. Three local lubricating oil tank level measurement points are used to compare with the fixed value, and then the three-out-of-two protection is triggered. The main disadvantage of this logic is that there is no measurement point quality judgment: (1) If any of the three measurement points is of poor quality and the measured result becomes a small value, then any of the remaining two measurement points, if disturbed and fluctuated or the measurement point fails, may cause the protection to malfunction. (2) When two measurement points are of poor quality, if both measurement points become smaller, the protection will be malfunctioned directly; if both measurement points become larger, even if the third measurement point is a good point and the measured tank level is lower than the protection value, the protection will refuse to operate; if one of the two measurement points becomes larger and the other becomes smaller, the third point is disturbed and fluctuated, and the protection will malfunction. In summary, this construction method also has a great risk of malfunction and refusal to operate.

[0080] Figure 5 This is the common three-out-of-two protection construction method 3. After three local lubricating oil tank level measurement points are of good quality and below the limit, the three-out-of-two protection is triggered. Compared with method 2, although method 3 increases the quality judgment of the measurement points and reduces the probability of false protection operation, it increases the probability of protection refusal. When one point is of poor quality, the point is removed, and the protection logic is changed to two-out-of-two; when two points are of poor quality, the two points are removed, and the protection logic is changed to one-out-of-two, which will never be triggered, resulting in protection refusal. It can be seen that although the quality judgment is increased, the risk of protection refusal when two points are of poor quality increases.

[0081] In order to reduce the probability of protection misoperation or refusal to operate due to measurement point failure and improve the reliability of thermal power plant three-out-of-two protection logic, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions (such as Figure 6 ):

[0082] S1. Determine the bad quality of the original three measuring points, and use the over-limit value and non-bad quality phase of each measuring point to participate in the protection logic;

[0083] The original three measuring points (1-0, 2-0, 3-0) are analog signals and output signals (1-1, 2-1, 3-1) respectively. The analog signals are judged by the high and low limit modules (1-2, 2-2, 3-2) and the output switch quantity is 1 or 0 (1-3, 2-3, 3-3). The analog signals are judged by the quality module (1-4, 2-4, 3-4) and the output switch quantity is 1 or 0 (1-5, 2-5, 3-5), where 1 represents bad quality and 0 represents good quality. After the judgment by the negation module (1-6, 2-6, 3-6), the output switch quantity is 1 or 0 (1-7, 2-7, 3-7). After the signals 1-3 (2-3, 3-3) and 1-7 (2-7, 3-7) are judged by the module 1-8 (2-8, 3-8), the output switch value is 1 or 0 (S1-1, S1-2, S1-3).

[0084] S2, taking two out of the three original measuring points with bad quality signals as the fourth point to participate in the protection logic;

[0085] The original three measuring point bad quality signals are shown as 1-5, 2-5, 3-5 (connected to S2-1, S2-2, S2-3) as the three inputs of the three-out-of-two module S2. When two of the three input signals of the three-out-of-two module are 1, the output is 1, and the output signal is S2-4.

[0086] S3, change the original three-out-of-two judgment to four-out-of-two judgment;

[0087] Compared with traditional solutions ( Figure 5 4 in the figure is a three-out-of-two module), and S3 in this scheme is a four-out-of-two module. The four inputs of the four-out-of-two module are S1-1, S1-2, S1-3 and S2-4, and the output is 1 when two of the four input signals of the four-out-of-two module are 1.

[0088] S4, taking the bad quality signals of the original three measuring points and taking them as the fifth signal;

[0089] The original three measuring point bad quality signals are shown as 1-5, 2-5, 3-5 (connected to S4-1, S4-2, S4-3) as the three inputs of the AND module S4. When three of the three input signals of the AND module are 1, the output is 1, and the output signal is S4-4.

[0090] S5. OR the result of S3 and the result of S4 as the final protection signal.

[0091] The result S3 - 1 of S3 and the result S4 - 4 of S4 are coupled through an OR module S5 to obtain the final protection trigger signal S5 - 1 .

[0092] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0093] When one analog measurement point has poor quality, the logic changes to two-out-of-two; when two analog measurement points have poor quality, the logic changes to one-out-of-one; when three analog measurement points have poor quality, the protection is directly triggered.

[0094] It can be seen that the three-out-of-two configuration logic of the present invention, when two measuring points are of poor quality, the remaining measuring point still plays a protective role, which can prevent the harm caused by protection refusal. When the three measuring points are of poor quality, it is equivalent to the DCS monitoring of this parameter out of control, and the power is directly shut down. Whether to directly shut down when the three points are of poor quality can be selected according to the specific situation of the power plant. The present invention only provides a configuration method when direct shutdown is required. If shutdown is not required, it can only be used for the first-level alarm.

[0095] Example 5, reference Figure 3-Figure 5, which is an embodiment of the present invention, provides a method for improving the reliability of the thermal three-out-of-two protection logic of a thermal power plant. In order to verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through simulation experiments.

[0096] Experimental conditions: Provide three lubricating oil level simulation measurement points.

[0097] Experimental requirements: Build the low level protection logic for the lubricating oil tank. When the liquid level is lower than 1000mm, the protection will be activated to minimize the risk of false protection and refusal to operate.

[0098] Experiment 1: Figure 5 Take the traditional three-out-of-two protection logic construction method 3 as an example to build the protection logic.

[0099] (1) When the three measuring points (lubricating oil tank level measuring points 1 to 3) are all good points, the measurement value of the lubricating oil tank level measuring point 1 (block 1-0) is 980 mm, the measurement value of the lubricating oil tank level measuring point 2 (block 2-0) is 990 mm, and the measurement value of the lubricating oil tank level measuring point 3 (block 3-0) is 1003 mm.

[0100] ① The result of block 1-0 after passing through comparison module 1-1 is 1; the result of block 1-0 after passing through bad quality judgment module 1-2 is 0, and then after passing through negation module 1-3, the result is 1; the above two output results are passed through AND block 1-4, and the result is 1, which is used as input 1 of module 4;

[0103] ④ Block 4 is a two-out-of-three module. When two of the three inputs are 1, the output is 1. In this experiment, two of the inputs of block 4 are 1, so the output is 1.

[0110] Experimental results: When one of the three measuring points is of poor quality and the other two are of good quality, the protection logic is equivalent to taking two out of the remaining two good points. When the lubricating oil tank level is lower than 1000mm, the protection logic result can still be output correctly.

[0111] (3) When the lubricating oil tank level measuring point 1 is a good point and the lubricating oil tank level measuring points 2 and 3 are bad points, the measurement value of the lubricating oil tank level measuring point 1 (block 1-0) is 980 mm, the measurement value of the lubricating oil tank level measuring point 2 (block 2-0) is 0 mm, and the measurement value of the lubricating oil tank level measuring point 3 (block 3-0) is 0 mm.

[0115] ④ Block 4 is a three-out-of-two module. When two of the three inputs are 1, the output result is 1. In this experiment, only one of the inputs of block 4 is 1, so the output result is 0.

[0116] Experimental results: When two of the three measuring points are of poor quality and the other one is of good quality, the protection logic is equivalent to taking two out of the remaining good point, and the protection cannot be triggered. When the lubricating oil tank level is lower than 1000mm, the protection refuses to work and can never be triggered.

[0117] (4) When the lubricating oil tank level measuring points 1 to 3 are all of bad quality, the measurement value of the lubricating oil tank level measuring point 1 (block 1-0) is 0mm, the measurement value of the lubricating oil tank level measuring point 2 (block 2-0) is 0mm, and the measurement value of the lubricating oil tank level measuring point 3 (block 3-0) is 0mm.

[0120] ③ The result of block 3-0 after comparison module 3-1 is 1; the result of block 3-0 after bad quality judgment module 3-2 is 1, and then after negation module 3-3 the result is 0; the above two output results are 0 after AND block 3-4, which is used as input 3 of module 4;

[0121] ④ Block 4 is a three-out-of-two module. When two of the three inputs are 1, the output result is 1. In this experiment, the inputs of block 4 are all 0, so the output result is 0.

[0122] Experimental results: When the three measuring points are of bad quality and the liquid level in the lubricating oil tank is lower than 1000mm, the protection will refuse to work and will never be triggered.
