Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of optimal scheduling of large-scale water pumping stations, and particularly relates to a starting decision-making method based on the evaluation of the operating state of pump units. Background Art

[0002] As an important regulatory building in the cross-basin water diversion project, the optimal scheduling of the pumping station has always been the focus of scholars' research. However, most of these studies are limited to calculating the number of starting units, starting flow rate, blade angle, etc. through the optimal scheduling model of the pumping station, while ignoring the selection of unit combinations. Most pumping stations use units of the same model during design and selection. However, during actual operation, due to differences in the operating duration, hydraulic characteristics, component losses, etc. of each unit, there are differences in the actual performance of units of the same model. Therefore, how to evaluate the operating state of units and optimize the operating combination, so as to provide reasonable decision-making support for formulating the optimal scheduling plan and maintenance plan, is of great significance for realizing the safe, economic operation and intelligent construction of the pumping station.

[0003] After consulting the literature, it is found that the current evaluation of pump units mostly focuses on the health state of the units themselves, while ignoring the evaluation of the operating state and operating effect of the units. At the same time, the on-site scheduling work is relatively blind for the state decision-making of the units. Most of them combine manual scheduling experience, and the starting combination is relatively arbitrary, lacking scientificity. Summary of the Invention

[0092] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0093] Example 1

[0094] As Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, a starting decision-making method based on the operation status evaluation of a pump unit is provided. This method determines evaluation indicators in combination with the actual situation of the pump station, collects and cleans the data required for evaluation, and uses a quantification method to process the evaluation indicators into a dimensionless numerical form to obtain the scores of individual evaluation indicators. The analytic hierarchy process and the entropy method are respectively used to construct an evaluation system for the operation status of the unit, and the weights of the evaluation indicators are calculated. By combining the two weights, a more reasonable and objective weight of the evaluation indicator is obtained, and the comprehensive operation status scores of each unit are calculated. When unit mobilization is required, the operation status of each unit is evaluated and sorted according to the scores. Following the starting and stopping principles, on the basis of not changing the existing operation combination, the units ranked higher are started or the units ranked lower are shut down from the remaining units to determine the operation combination of the units put into operation, providing decision-making reference for the optimal dispatching of the pump station. This method makes up for the shortcoming that the performance differences of units are often ignored in the research on the optimal dispatching of pump stations, proposes a scientific way to make decisions on starting and stopping, adjusts the units in combination with the current operation situation, provides decision-making support for formulating the optimal dispatching plan and maintenance plan, and is of great significance for realizing the safe, economic operation and intelligent construction of the pump station. This method includes the following five parts,

[0095] I. Determination of evaluation indicators

[0096] Combined with the actual situation of the pump station, evaluation indicators are determined from the categories of safety, economy, time, water conservancy, and sediment.

[0097] Specifically: Evaluation indicators are determined from the following five categories:

[0098] (1) Safety indicators: Temperature health value, vibration health value, swing health value.

[0099] (2) Economic indicators: Unit energy consumption.

[0100] (3) Time-scale indicators: Continuous operation duration, cumulative operation duration.

[0101] (4) Water conservancy characteristic indicators: Flow velocity distribution uniformity, velocity-weighted average angle.

[0102] (5) The above four types of indicators are applicable to all types of pump stations. For a high-sediment intake pump station, sediment-related indicators need to be considered: Equipment deterioration degree, sediment deposition degree.

[0103] Specific evaluation indicators can be selected, increased or decreased according to the actual situation of the pump station.

[0104] II. Quantification of evaluation indicators

[0105] Based on the basic data of the pumping station and the water regime and operation data monitored during the dispatching operation, a quantification method is used to quantify the scores of various evaluation indicators. The specific contents are as follows:

[0106] 2.1. Determine good evaluation indicators according to the actual situation of the pumping station, collect the basic data of the pumping station and the water regime and operation data monitored during the dispatching operation, and clean these data to eliminate outliers.

[0107] The basic data includes the operation flow range of the pumping station, the head range of the pumping station, the operation flow range of the unit, the hydraulic drawings of the pumping station, etc. The monitored data includes the downstream water level of the pumping station, the upstream water level of the pumping station, the pumping station flow, the single-unit flow, the unit shaft power, the unit operation efficiency, the unit energy consumption per unit, the motor current, the rotational speed, the blade angle, the temperature, the vibration, the swing, the cumulative operation hours of the unit, the continuous operation duration of the unit, etc.

[0108] 2.2. Adopt a quantification method to process the above evaluation indicators into dimensionless numerical forms to obtain the single-item evaluation indicator scores. Each score is between 0 and 100. The higher the score, the better the evaluation of the unit in this evaluation indicator. For the problem of unable to obtain the operation data of the unstarted unit, data under historical similar working conditions are selected for calculation by comparison to ensure the accuracy of the evaluation.

[0109] (1) Temperature, vibration, and swing health

[0110] The health of equipment temperature, vibration, and swing is scored on a 100-point scale for the real-time temperature, vibration, and swing health status of the unit based on the temperature quantities such as the core, coil, bearing temperature, oil temperature, and ambient temperature of the pump unit, the vibration quantities such as the vibration of the frame, housing, stator, and axial direction, the swing quantities in the X / Y directions of the upper guide, lower guide, and water guide, and the on-line monitored operation parameters such as the motor current, active power, rotational speed, blade angle, flow, and the water levels of the inlet and outlet pools of the pumping station. According to the temperature, vibration, and swing health, the overall health status of the equipment can be calculated, which is called the equipment health. The equipment health does not directly participate in the scoring, but serves as a rigid constraint evaluation indicator to judge whether the unit participates in the operation. Set a health threshold according to the actual situation of the pumping station unit. If the calculated health is lower than the threshold, the unit status is unhealthy and does not participate in the final scoring and ranking. The quantification method is as follows:

[0111]

[0112] In the formula, S HE is the score of the equipment health indicator, and the higher the score, the better the equipment health; S te is the temperature health; S v is the vibration health; S th is the swing health.

[0113] (2) Energy consumption per unit

[0114] The energy consumption per unit of the pump unit refers to the electric energy consumed by the pump unit to lift 1 thousand tons of water by 1 meter, which reflects the operating efficiency of the unit. Selecting a unit with higher efficiency is conducive to saving energy and costs. The energy consumption per unit is calculated from the data monitored in real time, and the quantification method is as follows:

[0115]

[0116] In the formula, S EN is the score of the energy consumption per unit index. The higher the score, the smaller the energy consumption per unit of the unit; E is the energy consumption per unit of the unit, kW·h / (kt·m); E min is the minimum energy consumption per unit among all the pump units in the pumping station at the evaluation moment, kW·h / (kt·m); W0 is the power consumption value of the unit, kW·h; ρ is the density of water, kg / m 3 ; Q is the flow rate of the pump group, m 3 / s; H0 is the head, m; t is the water lifting time, h.

[0117] (3) Continuous operation duration

[0118] The continuous operation duration is directly obtained from the on-line monitoring system of the pumping station. This index focuses on whether the continuous operation duration of the pump unit exceeds the historical average continuous operation duration. If the continuous operation duration exceeds the historical average value, it proves that the unit is not suitable for continued operation. The quantification method is as follows:

[0119]

[0120] In the formula, S CT is the score of the continuous operation duration index; T is the continuous operation duration of the unit at the evaluation moment, h. If the unit is not started, then T = 0; is the historical average continuous operation duration of the unit, h.

[0121] (4) Cumulative operation duration

[0122] The cumulative operation duration is directly obtained from the on-line monitoring system of the pumping station. This index reflects the operating performance of the unit. The performance of the unit deteriorates continuously with the increase of the cumulative operation duration. The quantification method is as follows:

[0123]

[0124] In the formula, S AT is the score of the cumulative operation duration index; T a is the cumulative operating hours of the unit, h. It should be noted that after each major overhaul of the unit, the cumulative operation duration is updated; T max is the maximum cumulative operating hours of each unit in the pumping station.

[0125] (5) Flow velocity distribution uniformity

[0126] The velocity distribution uniformity refers to the velocity distribution uniformity at the inlet section of the water pump, which reflects the quality of the inflow condition of the unit. Poor inflow conditions will cause the vibration of the unit and affect the operation efficiency of the unit. Therefore, based on the three-dimensional numerical simulation method, the flow patterns under different starting combinations are simulated, and the units with better velocity uniformity are selected. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0127]

[0128] In the formula, S Vu is the velocity distribution uniformity score; is the average axial velocity of the section, m / s; u ai is the axial velocity of each unit of the section, m / s; m0 is the number of units of the section.

[0129] (6) Velocity weighted average angle

[0130] The velocity weighted average angle reflects the velocity uniformity of the inlet section of the water pump. Based on the three-dimensional numerical simulation method, the flow patterns under different starting combinations are simulated, and the units with better velocity weighted average angles are selected. The quantification method is as follows:

[0131]

[0132] In the formula, is the velocity weighted average angle score; u ai is the axial velocity of each unit of the section, m / s; u ti is the transverse velocity of each unit of the section, m / s.

[0133] (7) Degree of equipment deterioration

[0134] The degree of equipment deterioration is an index for the characteristics of a sediment-laden water pump station. During the operation of the water pump, sediment deteriorates the pump components from two aspects: the impeller and the bearing. Sediment particles impact the impeller, resulting in impeller wear, and a high sediment concentration in the water leads to a large bearing load. Therefore, the degree of deterioration is based on two indicators: impeller health and bearing health. The quantification method is as follows:

[0135] S DE = 0.5 * S IM + 0.5 * S BE

[0136] In the formula, S DE is the equipment deterioration degree index score. The higher the score, the smaller the degree of equipment deterioration; S IM is the impeller health; S BE is the bearing health.

[0137] (8) Degree of sediment deposition

[0138] The sediment deposition degree is an index for the characteristics of pumping stations with high sediment-laden water. The large sediment content in the incoming water causes sediment deposition in the forebay of the pumping station, blocking the inlet flow channel and seriously affecting the normal water conveyance capacity of the pumping station. The sediment deposition degree is based on the monitoring data of sediment parameters under different inflow conditions (sediment content, flow rate). The three-dimensional numerical simulation method is used to evaluate the sediment deposition under different operating conditions, and the sediment deposition height in the forebay is used to divide the safety, relatively safe, warning, and dangerous levels. The quantification method is as follows:

[0139]

[0140] In the formula, S SA is the index score of the sediment deposition degree. The higher the score, the less sediment deposition and the better the water conveyance capacity; i0 is the sediment deposition level in the forebay; H is the sediment deposition height, m.

[0141] III. Determination of Index Weights

[0142] The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the entropy method are respectively used to construct the evaluation system for the operating state of the unit, and the weights of the evaluation indicators are determined subjectively and objectively. The specific contents are as follows:

[0143] 3.1. Use the analytic hierarchy process to construct the evaluation system for the operating state of the unit. According to the focus of work of dispatchers and expert evaluations of these subjective evaluation factors, determine the first weight judgment matrix of the evaluation indicators. Through the single ranking of the hierarchy, calculate the weights of the evaluation indicators subjectively. Finally, conduct a consistency test on the first weight judgment matrix and dynamically adjust the weights of the evaluation indicators according to the actual situation. Specifically:

[0144] (1) As Figure 2 shown, establish a hierarchical structure, which is divided into the following three levels to clarify the evaluation significance.

[0145] a. Goal layer: The highest layer, which is the purpose of decision-making. In this method, it is to select the best combination for commissioning.

[0146] b. Criterion layer: The factors considered in the decision-making process, that is, the evaluation indicators.

[0147] c. Scheme layer: The schemes available for selection during decision-making, that is, different unit combination schemes.

[0148] (2). Compare the evaluation indicators pairwise to determine their relative importance, introduce a scale to represent the degree of importance, and construct the first weight judgment matrix of the indicators. The first weight judgment matrix is as follows:

[0149]

[0150]

[0151] Element P in the matrix ij Represents P i And P j The estimated relative importance of comparison, by introducing the numbers 1 - 9 as a scale to illustrate the degree of importance, which is obtained based on the experience of pump station dispatchers, the focus of dispatch operation, expert evaluation, etc. The scale of importance is as follows:

[0152]

[0153] (3) Hierarchical single sorting, that is, calculating the weight vector of indicators through the weight judgment matrix. Usually, the square root method is used for calculation, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0154]

[0155] W is the weight vector of each evaluation indicator.

[0156] (4) Consistency test. To avoid logical problems in the setting of matrix weight coefficients and contradictory situations, it is necessary to conduct a consistency test on the judgment matrix. The test process is as follows:

[0157]

[0158] Among them, C.I. is the consistency index. The larger C.I. is, the more serious the inconsistency of the judgment matrix; λ max Is the maximum eigenvalue of the matrix; n0 is the order of the matrix.

[0159]

[0160] C.R. is the consistency ratio. When C.R. < 0.1, it is considered that the judgment matrix is basically consistent, otherwise the judgment matrix needs to be corrected; R.I. is the random consistency index, and its value is related to the order of the matrix. The numerical values are as follows:

[0161]

[0162] (5). Dynamically adjust the weight coefficients of evaluation indicators under different circumstances.

[0163] a. Consider the different nature of water transfer. During regular water transfer, the most important thing is to ensure the safe and stable operation of water transfer. At this time, the safety index is given the maximum weight. When performing an emergency water transfer task, while ensuring safety, increase the weight of flow-related indicators.

[0164] b. Consider seasonal factors. During water transfer in the ice period, it is necessary to ensure a relatively high operating water level. At this time, the weight of water level-related indicators can be increased.

[0165] 3.2. Construct an evaluation system for the operating status of the unit using the entropy value method. Construct a second weight judgment matrix for the evaluation indicators based on the historical measured operating data of each pump unit, and objectively calculate the weights of the evaluation indicators to reduce the subjectivity of the evaluation results. Specifically:

[0191] Example 2

[0192] To better illustrate the execution process of the method of the present invention, this example takes the Dayuzhang Pumping Station of the Jiaodong Water Diversion Project as an example to construct and display the operation state evaluation system of the water pump units based on this method, including the following steps:

[0193] I. Determination of evaluation indexes

[0194] Dayuzhang Pumping Station is the first-level pumping station of the Jiaodong Water Diversion Project. It is equipped with five sets of units of the same model, directly pumping the Yellow River water, with a high sediment content. The sediment greatly affects the safe operation of Dayuzhang Pumping Station. Therefore, in combination with the actual situation of the pumping station, a few comprehensive variables are used to replace multi-dimensional variables to avoid a complicated evaluation system, and the following evaluation indicators are determined:

[0195] (1) Safety indicators: temperature health value, vibration health value, swing health value;

[0196] (2) Economic indicators: unit energy consumption;

[0197] (3) Time-scale indicators: continuous operation duration, cumulative operation duration;

[0198] (4) Sediment-related indicators: equipment deterioration degree, sediment deposition degree.

[0199] II. Quantification of evaluation indicators

[0200] Collect and clean the required data, select a certain moment for unit status evaluation, and the evaluation index parameters are shown in Table 1.

[0201] Table 1 Evaluation index parameters

[0202]

[0203]

[0204] The scores of single evaluation indicators are obtained by using the quantification method as shown in Table 2.

[0205] Table 2 Scores of one-way evaluation indicators

[0206]

[0207] Set 60 as the equipment health threshold. The equipment health of the five units is qualified, and all participate in scoring and ranking.

[0208] III. Determination of evaluation index weights

[0209] (3.1) Determination of index weights by the analytic hierarchy process

[0210] Construct an evaluation system. According to the focus of work of the dispatchers of Dayuzhang Pumping Station and expert evaluation, the importance of indicators is obtained, and the first weight judgment matrix of evaluation indicators is shown in Table 3.

[0211] Table 3 First weight judgment matrix

[0212]

[0213] Through the single sorting of the hierarchy, the index weights are obtained as shown in Table 4.

[0214] Table 4 Index Weights

[0215]

[0216] After calculation, C.R. = 0.00296 < 0.1, the consistency test is passed, and the weight setting is reasonable and can be put into use.

[0217] (3.2) Determining Index Weights by Entropy Value Method

[0218] Since the equipment health degree is used as a judgment value and does not participate in the scoring, the measured values of the remaining evaluation indexes at the evaluation moment are constructed into a matrix as shown in Table 5.

[0219] Table 5 Second Weight Judgment Matrix

[0220]

[0221] Through data processing and weight calculation, the index weights are obtained as shown in Table 6.

[0222] Table 6 Index Weights

[0223]

[0224] IV. Evaluation and Ranking of Unit Operating Status

[0225] Combining the weights obtained by the analytic hierarchy process and the entropy value method, the final weights of the evaluation indexes are obtained as shown in Table 7.

[0226] Table 7 Final Weights

[0227]

[0228] According to the scores of individual indexes of each unit and the final weights, the recommended operating order of the units is Unit 5 - Unit 3 - Unit 2 - Unit 1 - Unit 4. The comprehensive scores of the operating status are calculated as shown in Table 8.

[0229] Table 8 Comprehensive Scores of Operating Status

[0230]

[0231] V. Determination of Operating Combinations

[0232] As Figure 3 shown, according to the dispatching requirements, the number of units to be started needs to be increased to 3. The currently operating units are Unit 2 and Unit 3. Following the principle of starting and stopping units, among the remaining unstarted units, Unit 1, Unit 4, and Unit 5, the Unit 5 with the highest operating status score is selected. Therefore, the operating combination determined is Unit 2, Unit 3, and Unit 5.

[0233] By adopting the above technical solutions disclosed in the present invention, the following beneficial effects are obtained:

[0234] The present invention provides a starting decision-making method based on the operation state evaluation of a water pump unit. In view of the situation that the overall operation state of the unit cannot be reflected by a single monitoring index of the water pump unit, representative evaluation indexes are listed from five categories: economy, safety, time, hydraulic characteristics, and sediment, and a comprehensive evaluation method for the operation state of the unit applicable to all pump station types is proposed. Aiming at the characteristics of a multi-sediment incoming water pump station, the present invention method proposes sediment-related evaluation indexes, making up for the shortcoming that the general unit evaluation method cannot meet its characteristics and perfecting the evaluation research on the units of multi-sediment incoming water pump stations. The present invention method introduces the analytic hierarchy process and the entropy method to construct the operation state evaluation system of the unit respectively, and obtains more reasonable and objective weights by integrating subjective and objective aspects. Combining the starting and stopping principles of the water pump unit, a scientific unit state decision-making and combination optimization method is provided, providing reasonable decision-making support for the optimal dispatching of the pump station.

[0235] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications should also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
