Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of fan energy consumption monitoring, and more specifically, to an online monitoring system and method for energy consumption of an induced draft fan unit. Background Art
[0002] Fans, motors, pumps, and compressors are collectively referred to as "industrial motor systems" by the International Energy Agency (IEA). The National Development and Reform Commission's "Eleventh Five-Year" Energy Conservation Plan points out that industrial motor systems are the main electricity users in China, accounting for more than 50% of the total electricity consumption, of which fans account for 10.4% of the national electricity consumption. Therefore, improving fan efficiency is of great significance to saving electricity. Fan systems are large in quantity and wide in scope, and have great potential for saving electricity. The introduction of the national standard "Energy Efficiency Limit Values and Energy Efficiency Grades for Ventilators" stipulates the energy efficiency grades, energy efficiency limit values, energy-saving evaluation values, and test methods for ventilators, providing a basis for the research and development of energy efficiency work for high-efficiency fans in my country. It also marks the beginning of energy efficiency labeling work for high-efficiency fans in my country. On November 1, 2010, fans will be officially included in the catalog of products that implement energy efficiency labeling in the People's Republic of China (the sixth batch), and implementation has begun. Fans are very important equipment in metallurgical production processes. They are widely used, in large quantities, and have high energy consumption. They are used in various areas such as ironmaking, coking, steelmaking, rolling, chemical industry and power plants. Their power consumption accounts for about 40% of the total power consumption of Baoshan Branch. Since the motor power of dust removal fans, induced draft fans, blowers and other motors in the metallurgical industry is generally large, the energy saving is very considerable, and the fan energy-saving transformation project has also become an important business segment of various energy-saving and environmental protection companies. Energy-saving transformation refers to replacing the original fan with a new high-efficiency fan as a whole or replacing a more efficient impeller on the basis of the original fan, and the original fan pipe network system can be left unchanged. After the fan is energy-saving transformed, the system operating point is within the optimal working range of the fan, which is a very effective way to save energy, with an energy saving rate of between 20% and 30%. However, after long-term continuous operation, the fan efficiency decreases year by year due to wear, corrosion, impeller deformation, increased pipe resistance and changes in production process. That is, the energy-saving effect of the fan will also decrease year by year. How to grasp the energy-saving status of the fan in real time and take measures in advance to keep the fan in a better energy-saving state is difficult to achieve by conventional equipment maintenance methods.
[0003] The induced draft fan is one of the important auxiliary equipment in thermal power plants. It removes the high-temperature flue gas generated by furnace combustion, maintains furnace pressure, and forms flue gas flow. Due to the long-term operation of the boiler, the boiler resistance increases, resulting in an increase in the unit's power consumption rate. The power consumption of the boiler induced draft fan accounts for about 60% of the total power consumption of the wind and smoke system. Therefore, improving the operating efficiency of the fan plays an important role in energy saving and consumption reduction. Summary of the invention
