Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hydroelectric generating set control, in particular to a hydroelectric generating set power regulation transition process anti-vibration control method and system. BACKGROUND

[0002] When the water turbine runs away from the optimal working condition, the hydraulic characteristics will deteriorate obviously, causing hydraulic phenomena such as flow separation, vortex, cavitation, and increasing vibration of the water turbine. If the water turbine runs in the vibration zone for a long time, it will lead to fatigue damage of the water turbine structure, loosening of fasteners and other safety problems, and even cause a major safety accident of water flooding the plant. In order to ensure the safe operation of the hydroelectric generating set, the on-site vibration zone test will be carried out in each large-scale hydropower plant to divide the vibration zone of the water turbine. Under the stable operation condition of the hydroelectric generating set, the operation personnel and the monitoring system of the hydropower station will avoid running in the vibration zone of the water turbine. However, during the load regulation process of the generating set, the hydroelectric generating set may cross the vibration zone. Due to the poor parameter setting of the control system, the generating set may run in the vibration zone for a long time. In addition, due to the dead zone of the control system and hydraulic fluctuations, the hydroelectric generating set may run in the vibration zone during the load regulation process (as shown in FIG. 1), which may cause damage to the key components of the water turbine. Figure 1

[0003] The current hydroelectric generating set anti-vibration operation strategy mainly focuses on the anti-vibration operation under the stable operation of the generating set. Generally, the power grid will issue a total power instruction to the hydropower plant, and the plant will distribute the total load regulation instruction to each generating set according to the actual load and operation of each generating set. In order to avoid the generating set running in the vibration zone, it is necessary to consider avoiding running in the vibration zone. Currently, methods such as enumeration, dynamic programming, genetic algorithm, and particle swarm optimization algorithm are used to distribute the power instruction value to prevent the power instruction value issued to each generating set from falling into the vibration zone of the hydroelectric generating set.

[0004] The patent application with publication number CN 115453931 A discloses a method and device for optimizing active power control of a hydroelectric generating set monitoring system. The method includes: constructing a power control model of the hydroelectric generating set monitoring system, importing basic parameters and initial conditions for solving the model; setting related parameters of the multi-objective genetic algorithm; obtaining an individual represented by a decision variable set, inputting the model to obtain a hydroelectric generating set active power regulation thread, and constructing an objective function according to the optimization index obtained from the regulation thread; solving the control model by using an improved multi-objective genetic algorithm to obtain an optimal solution set; and obtaining a decision variable set with the optimal objective function value from the optimal solution set to control the active power of the hydroelectric generating set. However, the optimization target of this scheme is only the response speed and power counter-regulation of the generating set, and the requirement of anti-vibration operation of the generating set during power regulation is not considered, which may cause the hydroelectric generating set to run in the vibration zone for a long time during power regulation, resulting in excessive vibration of the hydroelectric generating set and affecting the safety of the generating set. ​

[0005] In summary, the current research results in the vibration avoidance operation of the unit mainly focus on the distribution of the load instruction of the hydroelectric unit, and the transition process in the power regulation of the hydroelectric power is not considered. Although the target value of the power regulation of the hydroelectric unit can be effectively avoided from entering the vibration area of the unit, the unit may frequently cross the vibration area, stay in the vibration area for too long, and the regulation quality cannot meet the requirements of the power grid during the regulation process. Therefore, the above comprehensive factors need to be considered to propose a vibration avoidance control method for the transition process of the power regulation of the hydroelectric unit. SUMMARY

[0083] The application will be further described below in combination with the accompanying drawings and specific preferred embodiments, but the protection scope of the application is not limited by the embodiments.

[0084] Embodiment one

[0085] The embodiment proposes a power regulation transition process anti-vibration control method for a hydroelectric generating unit. Based on a power control model of a hydroelectric station monitoring system, an anti-vibration performance objective function and a power regulation performance objective function are constructed. Key control parameters are optimized by using an improved non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II). A TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) decision theory is introduced to evaluate the optimal solution set and select parameters. The recommended parameters are used for power regulation, so that the power regulation performance can meet the requirements of the power regulation performance index, while reducing the number of times the unit passes through the vibration zone and the time of operation in the vibration zone, and improving the unit life and the safety of the power station. As shown in Figure 2 the following steps are included:

[0086] Step 1: Construct a control model for the power regulation of the hydroelectric station water delivery and power generation system.

[0087] The hydroelectric station water delivery and power generation system, as shown in Figure 3 , includes a water delivery system, a water turbine, and control equipment. The active power control system of a hydroelectric station is a complex nonlinear system that integrates hydraulic, mechanical, and electrical processes. The control equipment includes a monitoring system and a water turbine governor. The active power response characteristics of the hydroelectric generating unit involved in the power regulation process are closely related to the characteristics of each subsystem, and each subsystem is coupled. To accurately simulate the power regulation transition process of the hydroelectric generating unit, the step S1 of the embodiment combines the results of the inventors' previous research (Fu L, Bao HY, Huang B. Simulation research on active power regulation of hydroelectric generating unit monitoring system [J]. Journal of Hydroelectric Engineering, 2020, 39(01): 62-71.) to establish a detailed nonlinear mathematical model of the hydroelectric generating unit power regulation that considers the nonlinear characteristics and mutual coupling of each link, including the following steps:

[0088] Step 1.1: Construct a mathematical model of the monitoring system:

[0089] The active power closed-loop regulation principle of the hydroelectric station monitoring system is shown in Figure 4 . After receiving the power regulation instruction from the power grid, the hydroelectric station monitoring system sends the active regulation instruction to the relevant unit local control unit (LCU). After receiving the power regulation instruction, the unit LCU adjusts the pulse width modulation (PWM) method. When the absolute value of the actual active power deviation from the target value is greater than the regulation dead zone, the LCU sends a power "increase / decrease" pulse signal to the governor in real time until the active power deviation enters the dead zone and stops the order. Finally, the governor adjusts the guide vane opening to change the output of the water turbine.

[0090] The control signal u(t) of the PWM controller is calculated as follows:

[0091]

[0092] where M is the output amplitude of the monitoring system, in MW; T is the pulse period, in s; ΔP is the difference between the actual hydraulic turbine active power and the power regulation target value, in MW; sign is the sign function; T k is the pulse width of the PWM output (k = 0, 1, 2,...). The calculation formula of sign is shown in equation (2):

[0093]

[0094] T k is calculated as follows:

[0095]

[0096] where β is the regulation parameter; T kmax is the maximum pulse width limit, in s; T kmin is the minimum pulse width limit, in s; and there are T kmin ≤ T kmax ≤ T, which can be manually set.

[0097] Step 1.2: Constructing the governor mathematical model:

[0098] The hydraulic turbine governor is composed of a regulator and an electro-hydraulic servo system, as shown in Figure 5 . Its transfer function is shown in equation (4).

[0099]

[0100] where u(s) is the Laplace transform of the input signal, y(s) is the Laplace transform of the output signal, T iy is the governor opening degree given integrator time constant, T y is the governor servo reaction time constant, and s is the Laplace operator.

[0101] In the power control opening degree mode, the main task of the governor is to act as an actuator, receive the power regulation instructions from the monitoring system, adjust the hydraulic turbine guide vane opening degree, and thus change the output to achieve the power regulation purpose.

[0102] Figure 5 The input signal u is the command output by the unit LCU, and the output signal y is the relative value of the guide vane opening degree. The regulator part K D is the differential gain; K P is the proportional gain; K IKp is integral gain; T lv Tb is differential link damping time constant, unit is second (s); b p Kd is steady-state droop coefficient; T iy Tf is governor opening given integrator time constant, unit is second (s); T y Tm is governing system servomotor response time constant, unit is second (s). The above parameters are generally set manually, wherein T y Tb is obtained by field measurement.

[0103] After the LCU outputs the increase or decrease pulse signal, the governor issues a guide vane opening step according to the accepted pulse command, and the step value is ±100%. For a step signal, a ramp signal is output, and the slope of the ramp signal is determined by T iy , and the calculated guide vane opening signal is output to the electro-hydraulic servo system.

[0104] The electro-hydraulic servo system controls the guide vane servomotor to adjust the guide vane opening after the input guide vane opening adjustment electrical signal is converted by the electro-hydraulic conversion link and amplified by the hydraulic amplifier.

[0105] Step 1.3: Constructing a hydraulic turbine model

[0106] In this embodiment, the hydraulic turbine operating characteristic curve is used for modeling, and the differential link in the water conveyance system is changed to an integral link to eliminate algebraic loops. The model block diagram based on the hydraulic turbine operating characteristic curve is shown in Figure 6 .

[0107] Since the hydraulic turbine is operated in the normal operating range in the active power regulation numerical simulation of the hydropower station, in order to prevent algebraic loops in the model, the hydraulic turbine operating characteristic curve is used to describe the nonlinear characteristics of the hydraulic turbine, and the head H and the power P are set as the longitudinal and transverse coordinates.

[0108] The hydraulic turbine operating characteristic curve reflects the relationship between the flow rate, output, head, and guide vane opening of the hydraulic turbine, and the specific expression is as follows:

[0109] Q = f (α, H) (5)

[0110] P = g (α, H) (6)

[0111] In the formula, Q is the flow rate of the hydraulic turbine, unit is m 3 / s; P is the output of the hydraulic turbine, unit is MW; α is the guide vane opening, unit is mm; H is the working head of the hydraulic turbine, unit is m.

[0112] Step 1.4: Constructing a water conveyance system mathematical model

[0113] The water conveyance system mathematical model is shown in formula (7).

[0114]

[0115] where h(s) is the Laplace transform of the water head of the water turbine, q(s) is the Laplace transform of the flow of the water turbine, T w is the water flow inertia time constant of the water delivery system, h f0 is the water head loss of the water delivery system, H0 is the initial water head of the water turbine, and s is the Laplace operator.

[0116] Step 1.5: Constructing the overall mathematical model:

[0117] Combining the monitoring system model, the governor mathematical model, the water turbine mathematical model, and the water delivery system model, the overall mathematical model of the power regulation of the hydroelectric generating set monitoring system is obtained, as shown in Figure 7 How to combine these models to obtain the overall mathematical model is known to those skilled in the art, and the embodiment does not involve improvement of the specific process, so the specific model combination process will not be described again.

[0118] Step 2: Importing the key parameters of the control model for the simulation of the power regulation of the water delivery and power generation system of the hydroelectric power station.

[0119] The characteristic parameters required when importing the simulation control model for simulation include the comprehensive characteristic curve of the water turbine operation, the water flow inertia time constant T w , the servomotor reaction time constant T y of the speed regulation system. At the same time, the initial working conditions of the model are set, including the initial working water head H0, the initial output N t0 , and the initial flow Q0.

[0120] For the vibration avoidance operation control of the hydroelectric generating set, the vibration zone data of the hydroelectric generating set also need to be imported, mainly including the water head of the water turbine [H1, H2, …H n ], and the vibration zone of the water turbine at different water heads represented by the active power of the generating set, for example represents the vibration zone of the first to fourth units of the water turbine at the first to n water heads.

[0121] Step 3: Setting the parameters of the multi-objective genetic algorithm, specifically taking the control parameters of the control model as the decision variables, setting the constraint conditions of the decision variables, and setting the objective functions of the vibration avoidance performance and the power regulation performance.

[0122] In this embodiment, the multi-objective genetic algorithm adopts the improved non-dominated gene sorting algorithm NSGA-II (Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithms II), and when setting the parameters of the multi-objective genetic algorithm, the following is specifically included:

[0123] Step 3.1: Initializing the NSGA-II parameters:

[0124] The number of objective functions nobj is set to 2, the population quantity npop is set to 100, the maximum iteration number maxit is set to 60, the crossover ratio pc is set to 0.8, the mutation probability mu is set to 0.05, and the decision variable nvar is set to 6. In this embodiment, the decision variable nvar is set to 6 because the key control parameters to be solved include the pulse period T, the maximum pulse width T kmax , the minimum pulse width T kmin , the adjustment parameter β, the governor opening degree given integral time constant T iy , and the load distribution coefficient P1. After the key control parameters to be solved by the model are taken as the decision variables, the individual set constituted by the decision variables can be expressed as:

[0125] X = (T, T kmin , T kmax , T iy , β, P1)

[0126] Step 3.2: Setting the constraint condition, that is, setting the constraint condition of the decision variable:

[0127] Generally, the precision of the control parameter in the actual operation of the hydropower plant is set to one significant digit after the decimal point. The magnitude constraint condition of the control parameter of the monitoring system and the governor can be expressed as:

[0128] M[T, T kmax , T kmin , β, T iy ] = 0.1 (8)

[0129] The magnitude constraint adjustment of the unit load distribution coefficient can be expressed as

[0130] M[P1] = 0.01 (9)

[0131] In the formula (8) and the formula (9), M[] represents the magnitude of the decision variable.

[0132] The maximum pulse width T kmax , the minimum pulse width T kmin , and the pulse period T of the control parameter of the monitoring system have the following inequality constraint conditions:

[0133] T kmin ≤ T kmax ≤ T

[0134] Step 3.3: Setting the objective function, specifically setting the objective function of the anti-vibration performance and the power regulation performance, wherein:

[0135] For the vibration avoidance performance objective function of the present embodiment, there are multiple vibration zones for the hydroelectric plant unit, which are generally obtained through field tests after the unit is put into operation, and the vibration zones of the hydroelectric unit change with the working water head, as shown in the schematic diagram of the unit vibration zones. Figure 8 represents the vibration zone of the i th participating unit when the working water head is H 0, i1 min represents the lower limit of the first vibration zone of the i th participating unit, P i1 max represents the upper limit of the first vibration zone of the i th participating unit, P i2 min represents the lower limit of the second vibration zone of the i th participating unit, P i2 max represents the upper limit of the second vibration zone of the i th participating unit. When the unit participates in power regulation, the dynamic time-domain curve of the active power is tracked, and the number of times that the time-domain curve of the participating unit crosses the corresponding vibration zone of the unit is output as k i , the time that the unit stays in the corresponding vibration zone during regulation is output as t i , and the range of the corresponding vibration zone of the unit can be represented as:

[0136]

[0137] The above formula can represent the vibration zone range of the i th participating unit when the working water head is H 0.

[0138] The objective function of the unit vibration avoidance performance can be represented as:

[0139] Minobj1(T,T kmax ,T kmin ,β,T iy ,P1)=k i +t i (11)

[0140] All the indexes in formula (11) are the smaller the better.

[0141] For the power regulation performance objective function of the present embodiment, it is composed of three indexes: regulation time T p , regulation accuracy E p , and overshoot P s , and can be represented as:

[0142]

[0143] In the present embodiment, the power regulation time T p ​The total time length from the start of active power regulation action to the time when the active power of the hydroelectric generating unit enters the dead zone, and the active power of the hydroelectric generating unit entering the dead zone refers to the deviation of the active power of the hydroelectric generating unit from the target value being within ±1% of the rated power.

[0144] In this embodiment, the power regulation accuracy E is defined as p The ratio of the average value of the active power of the hydroelectric generating unit after entering the dead zone to the rated power of the unit.

[0145] In this embodiment, the power overshoot P is defined as s As follows:

[0146] Detecting whether the grid instruction is a load reduction command or a load increase command, if the regulation instruction is a load reduction command, obtaining the minimum value in the load reduction process, and setting the difference between the power regulation target value and the minimum value as the power overshoot; if the regulation instruction is a load increase command, obtaining the maximum value in the load increase process, and setting the difference between the maximum value and the power regulation target value as the power overshoot.

[0147] T pmin , E pmin , and P smin are respectively the minimum recommended values of the power regulation time, the power regulation accuracy, and the power overshoot specified in the standard.

[0148] Step 4: Using the improved non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm NSGA-II, the control parameters of the control model of the unit power regulation of the water power generation system of the hydropower station are optimized and solved according to the set objective function and constraint conditions, specifically including:

[0149] Step 4.1: generating initial decision variables:

[0150] Randomly generating N initial decision variables that satisfy the constraint conditions, and the expression is as follows:

[0151] X i_0 = (T, T kmin , T kmax , T iy , β, P1) (13)

[0152] Where X i_0 represents the i-th initial decision variable, i = 1, 2, …, N, T represents the pulse period, T kmax represents the maximum pulse width, T kmin represents the minimum pulse width, β represents the regulation parameter, T iy represents the integral time constant of the governor opening degree given, and P1 represents the load distribution coefficient.

[0153] Step 4.2: calculating the objective function:

[0154] The decision variable is brought into the control model built in step 1 to perform simulation calculation, to obtain the dynamic time domain waveform of the active power of the hydroelectric generating unit, and the number of times k1 of passing through the vibration zone, the time t1 of staying in the corresponding vibration zone during the unit regulation process, and the unit power regulation time T are calculated according to the waveform curve p , the power regulation accuracy E p , and the power overshoot P s . How to perform simulation calculation on the control model to obtain the dynamic time domain waveform of the active power of the hydroelectric generating unit, and how to calculate these parameters according to the waveform curve of the dynamic time domain waveform of the active power of the hydroelectric generating unit are all known to those skilled in the art, and the improvement of the specific calculation process is not involved in the embodiment, so the specific calculation process will not be described here.

[0155] The number of times k1 of passing through the vibration zone of each decision variable and the time t1 of staying in the corresponding vibration zone during the unit regulation process are brought into formula (11) to obtain the value obj1 of the vibration avoidance performance objective function corresponding to each decision variable, and the unit power regulation time T p , the power regulation accuracy E p , and the power overshoot P s are brought into formula (12) to obtain the value obj2 of the power regulation performance objective function corresponding to each decision variable.

[0156] Step 4.3: Non-dominated fast sorting and crowding distance evaluation

[0157] Each decision variable is taken as an individual, and non-dominated fast sorting and crowding distance evaluation are performed according to the two objective function values of the individual to determine the priority of the individual.

[0158] In the embodiment, non-dominance is defined as: for two different individuals X i and X j in the population, the two objective function values obtained by bringing the two individuals into the model both satisfy Minobj k (X i )≤Minobj k (X j ), then X i is said to dominate X j . The embodiment generates multiple “levels” or “fronts” (Pareto fronts) of individuals in the population through non-dominated fast sorting. The first front contains all non-dominated solutions, the second front contains solutions dominated by the first front, and so on, thereby helping to identify better solutions in the population, and the less dominated the solution is by other solutions, the higher the sorting level of the solution.

[0159] In this embodiment, the crowdedness is defined as follows: first, the population is sorted according to the ascending order of the size of each objective function value, and then the crowdedness is evaluated, that is, the boundary solution of each objective function (i.e., the solution with the maximum value and the minimum value) is assigned a value of infinite distance, and all other intermediate solutions are assigned an absolute difference value equal to the normalized target function value of the two adjacent solutions. In this embodiment, through the crowdedness evaluation, the "crowdedness" between individuals in the same level of the front is further evaluated to measure the density of individuals in the target space.

[0160] In this embodiment, after determining the priority of each individual, N high-priority individuals need to be selected, specifically, individuals in the higher level of the non-dominated quick sort are selected, and individuals with low crowdedness are preferentially retained in the same front to enhance the diversity of the population. Thus, the first generation population G = (X1, X2, X3, …, XN) containing N individuals is obtained. n ), and X i = (T, T kmax , T kmin , T iy , β, P1), i = 1, 2, …, N, the individuals in the population are divided into priority through non-dominated quick sorting of the objective function value and crowdedness evaluation, thereby helping to select individuals with high priority in the evolutionary algorithm to generate the next generation population.

[0161] Step 4.4: generating a new generation population:

[0162] The first generation population is used as the parent population, and genetic operations are performed to generate a new generation population, and the new generation population is used as the child population of the parent population. How to perform genetic operations on the parent population to generate a new generation population is known to those skilled in the art, and the embodiment does not involve improvements in the specific implementation process of genetic operations, and the specific process is not described here.

[0163] After generating the new generation population, it is detected whether the current evolution generation number reaches the maximum evolution generation number. If yes, the new generation population is output as the optimal solution set, otherwise, the parent population and the child population are merged, and steps 4.2 to 4.4 are performed on the merged population to recalculate the objective function value, and the next generation population is obtained through non-dominated quick sorting and crowdedness evaluation. The next generation population is used as the parent population, and a new generation population is generated through genetic operations, and the new generation population is used as the child population of the parent population, until the current evolution generation number reaches the maximum evolution generation number, and the optimal population is output as the optimal solution set. As shown in Figure 9 The two objective function values of each solution in the optimal solution set show a trend that the power regulation performance objective function value increases as the vibration avoidance performance objective function value decreases in the two-dimensional coordinate system with the vibration avoidance performance objective function as the vertical axis and the power regulation performance objective function as the horizontal axis.

[0164] Step 5: evaluating the optimal solution set and selecting a final optimal solution, and using the final optimal solution as an optimal control parameter to perform power control on the control model.

[0165] In this embodiment, in order to obtain an optimal solution in the optimal solution set shown in Figure 9 , a TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) decision theory is used to obtain the optimal solution, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0166] Step 5.1: homogenization processing is performed on the optimal solution set:

[0167] A normalized initial matrix J is constructed, and the formula is:

[0168]

[0169] In the formula, x ij represents the value of the i-th solution in the optimal solution set on the j-th objective function, i = 1, 2, …, n, n is the number of solutions in the optimal solution set, j = 1, 2, j = 1 represents the objective function of the vibration avoidance performance, and j = 2 represents the objective function of the power adjustment performance.

[0170] Step 5.2: calculating the Euclidean distance:

[0171] The maximum value of each column element in the matrix J is set as the positive ideal point J + , and the minimum value of each column element in J is set as the negative ideal point J - . The Euclidean distance of each element from the positive ideal point J + and the negative ideal point J - is calculated, and the expression is as follows:

[0172]

[0173] Step 5.3: calculating the closeness degree:

[0174] According to the Euclidean distance from the positive ideal point J + and the negative ideal point J - , the closeness degree of each solution in the optimal solution set is calculated, and the expression is as follows:

[0175]

[0176] In the above formula, T i represents the closeness degree corresponding to the i-th solution in the optimal solution set. The greater the value of the closeness degree, the better the control scheme of the solution in the optimal solution set. As shown in Figure 10 , the figure is a graph according to Figure 9The closeness of each solution calculated by the optimal solution set calculation is pasted in by Figure 10 It can be seen that the closeness of the 20th solution is the largest, indicating that the control scheme of the 20th solution is the optimal scheme, so the pulse period T, the maximum pulse width T kmax , the minimum pulse width T kmin , the adjustment parameter β, and the governor opening degree given integral time constant T iy , the load distribution coefficient P1 are pasted in by the control model constructed in step S1 or the actual control system corresponding to the control model to perform power control, so that the best power regulation performance and vibration avoidance performance can be achieved.
