Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of gas turbine combustion control, and particularly relates to an active control system and method for combustion instability of an annular combustor. Background Technique

[0002] Combustion instability is a common and difficult-to-solve technical problem in advanced aeroengines and annular combustors of gas turbines, which is caused by the coupled feedback of pressure pulsation and flame heat release rate pulsation in the annular combustor. Combustion instability has many negative impacts on the operation of gas turbines and aeroengines, including narrowing the stable operation range of the engine, reducing the combustion efficiency, increasing pollutant emissions, and even possibly causing structural damage to the annular combustor in severe cases, threatening the system safety. Therefore, the effective control of combustion instability has become a key technical problem to be solved urgently in the fields of gas turbines and aeroengines.

[0003] The control methods of combustion instability are mainly divided into passive control and active control. The passive control method suppresses combustion instability by designing an acoustic absorption structure or adjusting the geometric parameters of the annular combustor, but it is difficult to play a role under off-design conditions. The active control method introduces fuel or air pulsation during the combustion process through an actuator, combined with a real-time closed-loop control strategy, which can more effectively suppress combustion instability. However, the active control has extremely high requirements for the dynamic response ability of the actuator, and there are still many challenges in achieving precise control under complex working conditions.

[0004] In aeroengines and gas turbines, the annular combustor mostly adopts an annular structure. As a typical axisymmetric structure, the combustion instability of the annular combustor may exhibit various modes such as longitudinal mode and circumferential mode, as Figure 1 shown. Due to the differences in geometric structure and operating conditions, one or more unstable modes may exist simultaneously in different annular combustors. From an acoustic perspective, the circumferential dimension of the annular combustor is the decisive factor, so the combustion instability usually mainly presents as the circumferential mode. The circumferential mode can be further divided into a standing wave mode and a rotating mode, and its pulsation frequency is usually concentrated in the range of 1000 Hz to 2000 Hz, which poses extremely high requirements for the frequency response and dynamic performance of the actuator. In addition, the instability of the annular combustor is also closely related to the regulation path to reach the stable combustion state, that is, there is a significant hysteresis effect, which further increases the complexity of combustion instability control.

[0005] Existing technical solutions and patents for the active control of combustion instability mainly focus on the single longitudinal mode control of a single head (such as Chinese Patent Application CN113418188A), or only achieve the stability control of an annular combustor based on adjusting the air or fuel supply (such as Chinese Patent Application CN101166935A). These technical solutions have limited control effects on complex annular combustors and their multi-modal combustion instabilities, and it is difficult to meet the actual engineering requirements of gas turbines. Especially in annular combustors, due to the complexity of multi-modal and dynamic operating conditions, existing solutions are difficult to achieve flexible and efficient active control. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an active control system and method for combustion instability of an annular combustor, so as to solve the problem that the existing active control methods for combustion instability of annular combustors have limited control effects on complex annular combustors and their multi-modal combustion instabilities, and it is difficult to meet the actual engineering requirements of gas turbines.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: The present invention relates to an active control system for combustion instability of an annular combustor, which includes a fuel tank, a fuel pump, and an annular combustor. A number of burners are evenly distributed circumferentially on the annular combustor. The fuel pump is used to transport the fuel in the fuel tank to each burner. It also includes a sensor group, a high-frequency data processing unit, and a high-frequency valve group. The sensor group is used to measure the pulsating pressure and flame heat release rate inside the annular combustor, and transmit the measured data to the high-frequency data processing unit. The high-frequency data processing unit is used to identify the combustion instability mode according to the pulsating pressure and flame heat release rate, and generate corresponding control signals according to the combustion instability mode. The high-frequency valve group includes a plurality of high-frequency valves, which are used to receive the control signals and actively control each burner.

[0008] Preferably, the high-frequency valve group is arranged between the fuel pump and the annular combustor, and each high-frequency valve independently controls the fuel pulse injection of one or more burner heads.

[0009] Preferably, the high-frequency data processing unit identifies the combustion instability mode of the annular combustor according to the feedback value of the pulsating pressure. The combustion instability mode includes a longitudinal mode and a circumferential mode, and the circumferential mode is further divided into a standing wave mode and a rotating mode. The specific method for identifying the combustion instability mode of the annular combustor is: decompose the pulsation of the pulsating pressure along the circumference into two reverse traveling waves. At the circumferential position of the k th flame P k The pulsating pressure can be expressed as: , Among them, is the circumferential average air flow velocity, and are respectively the pressure pulsation amplitudes of the forward traveling wave and the backward traveling wave, R is the average radius of the annular combustor, t is time, is the angular frequency; If the heat release rate pulsation in the circumferential position remains in phase, it is the longitudinal mode; otherwise, it is necessary to determine the heat release rate pulsation amplitudes of the forward traveling wave and the backward traveling wave , and the circumferential average air flow velocity . When and , it is the standing wave mode. When or and , it is the rotating mode.

[0010] Preferably, the high-frequency data processing unit generates corresponding control signals according to the combustion instability mode. Specifically: a) When the combustion instability mode is the longitudinal mode, the high-frequency data processing unit generates the following control signals to the sensor group: The high-frequency valve group adopts a synchronous control method, and the phases and duty cycles of all high-frequency valves are kept consistent, so that the fuel supply of all burners in the circumferential direction maintains the same pulsation amplitude and phase; b) When the combustion instability mode is the standing wave mode, the high-frequency data processing unit generates the following control signals to the sensor group: The high-frequency valve group adopts a standing wave control method, and the phases of the fuel modulation of the burners on the same side of the nodal line are kept consistent, and the phases of the fuel modulation of the burners on both sides of the nodal line differ by 180°. The amplitude of the fuel modulation gradually increases from 0 at the nodal point. As time goes by, the phases of the fuel modulation of each burner change synchronously, so that the pulsation amplitudes of the fuel supply of all burners remain unchanged; c) When the combustion instability mode is the rotating mode, the high-frequency data processing unit generates the following control signals to the sensor group: The high-frequency valve group adopts a rotating control method, and the phases of the fuel modulation of all burners change sequentially in the circumferential direction. The amplitude of the fuel modulation of the burners remains constant. As time goes by, the phases of the fuel modulation of each burner change synchronously, and the amplitude remains unchanged.

One end of the fuel pump 2 is connected to the fuel tank 1 through a fuel pipeline, and the other end is connected to the fuel input ends of the high-frequency valves through a fuel pipeline.
