[0002] Traditional nuclear power plants are primarily designed for baseload operation, meaning that nuclear power units operate at a relatively stable output level. However, with the growing proportion of renewable energy, grid load fluctuations are increasing, and the power system's demand for rapid load regulation is becoming increasingly prominent. This requires nuclear power units to be able to rapidly increase or decrease load in a short period of time to achieve rapid peak load regulation. The valves of nuclear power units play a crucial role in this rapid peak load regulation process. In particular, the start and stop speed and accuracy of the valves in the reheat control system of the conventional island of a nuclear power plant directly affect the system's peak load regulation capability, thereby determining whether the nuclear power unit can meet the requirements of rapid load regulation.

[0003] However, traditional valve control methods usually adopt standard start-stop modes or simple PID control strategies. When nuclear power plants perform rapid peak regulation, the acceleration of the valves changes greatly during rapid start-stop control, which can easily cause vibration, noise and mechanical shock, leading to increased mechanical wear of valves and pipelines, thereby shortening the service life of the equipment.

[0051] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0052] The MPC (Model Predictive Control) algorithm is an optimization control method based on mathematical models. It predicts the future dynamic behavior of the system and optimizes the control input in real time to achieve optimal control results. It is a closed-loop control strategy that can be dynamically adjusted based on real-time data to ensure stable and efficient system operation. During rapid startup and shutdown, it optimizes the valve opening change curve, reduces system vibration and noise, and improves startup and shutdown efficiency. It meets the needs of rapid peak regulation in nuclear power plants and ensures smooth and accurate startup and shutdown processes, avoiding overshoot or hysteresis effects.

[0053] Core principles:

[0054] Establishing a mathematical model of the system: MPC is based on the mathematical model of the controlled object (such as a valve) to predict the system response in multiple time steps in the future.

[0055] Rolling optimization: At each control moment, MPC calculates the optimal control strategy for a period of time in the future (forecast horizon) and only executes the optimal control amount at the current moment.

[0056] Real-time feedback correction: In each control cycle, MPC updates the prediction model based on real-time sensor data to ensure that the system operates along the optimal trajectory.

[0057] In normal start-stop operations, the PID algorithm is used to stably control the start-stop process of the valve to ensure accurate control of parameters such as opening and speed.

[0058] Suitable for scenarios that do not require high response speed but high stability.

[0059] Comparison and applicable scenarios of MPC algorithm and PID algorithm:

[0060]

[0061]

[0062] Since traditional start-stop control methods cannot meet the demand for rapid start-stop control of valves, resulting in the inability of nuclear power plants to meet the demand for rapid peak regulation of the power grid, the following specific technical solutions are proposed to achieve mechanical impact during the rapid start-stop control of valves, thereby reducing mechanical wear on valves and pipelines. The specific solutions are as follows:

[0063] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a valve rapid start and stop control method according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, the valve rapid start-stop control method provided in this embodiment is applied to electronic equipment for start-stop control of valves in a reheat regulation system of a nuclear power plant. The electronic equipment here can be a computer, controller, embedded device, etc. for controlling the entire or partial nuclear power plant. The valve rapid start-stop control method specifically includes the following steps:

[0065] S1. Obtain the working status information of the valve and the load change trend of the power grid in the future according to the fast start-stop control instructions.

[0066] The rapid start-stop control commands here originate from the nuclear power plant's central control system for peak-shaving control, or from emergency stop control requests directly input by control personnel. Generally speaking, the start-stop commands input by the central control system or control personnel will include rapid start-stop commands and standard start-stop commands. If the start-stop command is a standard start-stop command, the system will enter the standard start-stop path and implement standard start-stop control for the corresponding valve. During standard start-stop control, the system uses a traditional PID control algorithm to execute valve operations according to fixed control parameters. This type of control is suitable for scenarios where rapid response is not required, providing a more conservative but stable control effect.

[0067] If the start / stop instruction is a fast start / stop instruction, then based on the collection of real-time data or information of the instruction, the information collected in this application includes but is not limited to the working status information of the valve and the load change trend of the power grid in the future.

[0068] Regarding operating status information, sensors installed on the valve or pipeline collect valve-related information. Specifically, this application collects operating status information throughout the entire valve operation process, including not only at the initial stage of implementing the method, but also during and at the end of the process. This operating status information includes, but is not limited to, the current valve opening, as well as important parameters such as the pressure, temperature, and flow rate of the fluid flowing through the valve.

[0069] The load change trend is a relatively important core link in this application. Specifically, its function is to monitor and analyze the power grid load data in real time, combine historical data and model predictions, and predict the load change trend in a certain period of time in the future. By accurately predicting the load fluctuations in the future, the valve control system can make adjustments in advance to avoid valve response lag or over-adjustment, and ensure that the nuclear power unit can adapt to the power grid load changes in a timely manner. This application uses time series analysis, machine learning algorithms or physical modeling methods to perform calculations based on the real-time load data and historical load data of the power grid, so as to derive the future change trend of the power grid load and obtain the load change trend within a certain time window.

[0070] S3. Based on the MPC algorithm, the working status information, load change trend and hard constraints are processed to obtain the optimal control signal at the next moment.

[0071] The optimal control signal includes optimal control variables such as valve opening, start / stop speed, and acceleration. This application processes operating status information and load change trends based on the MPC algorithm, and references the valve's hard constraints to predict the valve's future behavior and optimize control inputs in advance, ensuring the valve can respond quickly and smoothly to load changes during the start / stop process. The valve's hard constraints include the valve's maximum opening, minimum opening, and start / stop acceleration.

[0072] This application adds hard constraints to ensure that the system's required parameters, such as valve opening, start / stop speed, and acceleration, are limited by physical conditions and safety constraints, ensuring that all control signals comply with these constraints. This prevents exceeding the valve's physical limits or violating safety regulations, preventing copper failure or equipment damage, and ensuring that all control signals remain within a reasonable range during the start / stop control process.

[0073] S5. Output the optimal control signal to the valve actuator.

[0074] A valve actuator is an electromechanical device that controls the movement of a valve, such as a control unit's drive motor and reduction mechanism. It operates based on corresponding control instructions or signals to drive the valve to rotate or flip, thereby opening and closing the valve. The optimal control instructions in this application specify the opening, start / stop speed, and acceleration of the movement, so that the valve actuator controls the valve according to the aforementioned opening, start / stop speed, and acceleration, enabling rapid opening and closing of the valve.

[0075] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this embodiment provides a method for rapid valve start-stop control, which is applied to electronic equipment and is used to quickly start and stop valves in reheat control systems commonly found in nuclear power plants. Specifically, the method responds to the user's rapid start-stop instructions, obtains the valve's operating status information and the load change trend of the power grid in the future; processes the operating status information, load change trend, and hard constraints of the valve based on the MPC algorithm to obtain the optimal control signal at the next moment; and outputs the optimal control signal to the valve actuator of the valve so that the valve actuator controls the valve based on the optimal control signal. This solution avoids the sudden changes in speed and acceleration under traditional start-stop methods by dynamically adjusting the start-stop speed and acceleration of the valve, effectively reducing mechanical shock, vibration, and noise, reducing mechanical wear on valves and pipelines, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0076] Moreover, this patent application adopts a predictive control algorithm (MPC), which can automatically adjust the speed, acceleration and other parameters of the start-stop process according to the real-time operating conditions of the nuclear power system, ensuring that the valve can be started and stopped smoothly in a short time, thereby greatly shortening the response time and improving the overall efficiency and sensitivity of the system.

[0077] In addition, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the following steps are also included: Figure 2 shown.

[0078] S2. Determine whether the working status information is valid.

[0079] Specifically, during the process of outputting the optimal control signal to the valve actuator and controlling the valve, the validity of the newly acquired operating status information is determined. Validity here means that each data point in the operating status information is within a reasonable range. If the operating status information is valid, the subsequent process of obtaining the optimal control signal based on the MPC algorithm is executed.

[0080] S4. Adjust the optimal control signal.

[0081] That is, when it is determined that the working state information is invalid, the optimal control signal obtained above is adjusted, that is, the valve opening, start and stop speed, and acceleration are adjusted. The adjusted optimal control signal is then output to the valve value actuator to achieve better control of the valve.

[0082] This application provides feedback based on the effectiveness of key parameters such as valve opening, flow rate, and pressure, and instantly adjusts control signals based on this feedback, ensuring smooth and precise valve startup and shutdown. This prevents valve vibration or system instability caused by varying operating conditions. Furthermore, through real-time monitoring and adjustment, it effectively improves the safety and reliability of nuclear power plants and ensures the smooth operation of the reheat control system during load fluctuations.

[0083] In another specific embodiment of the present application, the present application further includes the following steps: Figure 3 shown.

[0084] S6. Monitor the actual status of the valve in real time.

[0085] Through real-time monitoring, the actual state of the valve, that is, the real-time opening of the valve, is obtained, and whether the real-time opening is consistent with the opening specified by the above-mentioned optimal control instruction is consistent. If it is consistent, no operation is performed; if it is not consistent, subsequent operations are performed.

[0086] S7. Perform fault diagnosis on the valve.

[0087] That is, when the real-time opening of the valve does not meet the requirements, a fault diagnosis is performed on the valve. If the diagnosed fault information indicates that the valve is faulty, a redundant system switch is executed, or the preset emergency handling procedure is executed.

[0088] Through these operations, valve status can be monitored in real time and fault analysis can be performed. If a valve becomes stuck or responds slowly, the system automatically switches to a redundant control system or backup actuator, preventing the fault from affecting the normal operation of the nuclear power plant. This mechanism greatly improves the reliability and safety of the system.

[0089] Through the above-mentioned emergency treatment, it is possible to quickly enter emergency mode when encountering valve abnormalities or system failures, and promptly notify operators through the alarm system, ensuring that the nuclear power plant can respond quickly and take corresponding measures to avoid potential safety risks.

[0090] Furthermore, this application also provides the following specific implementation methods, such as Figure 4 As shown, in the following specific implementation, the following steps are further included based on the above operations:

[0091] S8. Record data during the operation.

[0092] During these operations, all data, including but not limited to operating status information, load trends, and valve operation and status parameters, is recorded, and an operation report is generated based on the records. By archiving the relevant data for management, subsequent tracking and optimization of nuclear power plant operations can be achieved.

[0097] Figure 5 This is a block diagram of a valve rapid start and stop control device according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0098] like Figure 5As shown, the rapid valve start-stop control device provided in this embodiment is applied to electronic equipment for starting and stopping valves in a reheat regulation system of a nuclear power plant. The electronic equipment here can be a computer, controller, embedded device, etc. for controlling the entire or a portion of the nuclear power plant. The rapid valve start-stop control device specifically includes a data acquisition module 10, a model prediction module 30, and a control execution module 50.

[0099] The data acquisition module is used to obtain the working status information of the valve and the load change trend of the power grid in the future according to the fast start and stop control instructions.

[0100] The rapid start-stop control commands here originate from the nuclear power plant's central control system for peak-shaving control, or from emergency stop control requests directly input by control personnel. Generally speaking, the start-stop commands input by the central control system or control personnel will include rapid start-stop commands and standard start-stop commands. If the start-stop command is a standard start-stop command, the system will enter the standard start-stop path and implement standard start-stop control for the corresponding valve. During standard start-stop control, the system uses a traditional PID control algorithm to execute valve operations according to fixed control parameters. This type of control is suitable for scenarios where rapid response is not required, providing a more conservative but stable control effect.

[0101] If the start / stop command is a rapid start / stop command, real-time data or information is collected based on the command. The information collected in this application includes but is not limited to the operating status of the valve and the load change trend of the power grid over a period of time. This module specifically includes a status monitoring unit and a load forecasting unit.

[0102] The condition monitoring unit is used to collect operating status information. Specifically, it uses sensors installed on the valve or pipeline to collect valve-related information. Specifically, in terms of the timing of collection, the present application collects operating status information throughout the entire valve operation process, including not only at the initial stage of implementation of the method, but also during and at the end of the implementation of the method. This operating status information includes, but is not limited to, the current valve opening, as well as important parameters such as the pressure, temperature, and flow rate of the fluid flowing through the valve.

[0103] The load change trend is a relatively important core link in this application. The load forecasting unit is used to monitor and analyze the power grid load data in real time, combine historical data and model predictions, and predict the load change trend in a certain period of time in the future, thereby obtaining the load change trend. By accurately predicting the load fluctuations in the future, the valve control system can make adjustments in advance to avoid valve response lag or over-adjustment, and ensure that the nuclear power unit can adapt to the power grid load changes in a timely manner. This application uses time series analysis, machine learning algorithms or physical modeling methods to perform calculations based on the real-time load data and historical load data of the power grid, thereby deriving the future change trend of the power grid load and the load change trend within a certain time window.

[0104] The model prediction module is used to process the working status information, load change trend and hard constraints based on the MPC algorithm to obtain the optimal control signal at the next moment.

[0105] The optimal control signal includes optimal control variables such as valve opening, start / stop speed, and acceleration. This application processes operating status information and load change trends based on the MPC algorithm, and references the valve's hard constraints to predict the valve's future behavior and optimize control inputs in advance, ensuring the valve can respond quickly and smoothly to load changes during the start / stop process. The valve's hard constraints include the valve's maximum opening, minimum opening, and start / stop acceleration.

[0106] This application adds hard constraints to ensure that the system's required parameters, such as valve opening, start / stop speed, and acceleration, are limited by physical conditions and safety constraints, ensuring that all control signals comply with these constraints. This prevents exceeding the valve's physical limits or violating safety regulations, preventing copper failure or equipment damage, and ensuring that all control signals remain within a reasonable range during the start / stop control process.

[0107] The control execution module is used to output the optimal control signal to the valve actuator.

[0108] A valve actuator is an electromechanical device that controls the movement of a valve, such as a control unit's drive motor and reduction mechanism. It operates based on corresponding control instructions or signals to drive the valve to rotate or flip, thereby opening and closing the valve. The optimal control instructions in this application specify the opening, start / stop speed, and acceleration of the movement, so that the valve actuator controls the valve according to the aforementioned opening, start / stop speed, and acceleration, enabling rapid opening and closing of the valve.

[0109] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this embodiment provides a valve rapid start-stop control device, which is applied to electronic equipment and is used to quickly start and stop valves in the reheat control system commonly found in nuclear power plants. Specifically, it responds to the user's rapid start-stop instructions, obtains the valve's operating status information and the load change trend of the power grid in the future; processes the operating status information, load change trend, and the hard constraints of the valve based on the MPC algorithm to obtain the optimal control signal at the next moment; and outputs the optimal control signal to the valve actuator of the valve so that the valve actuator controls the valve based on the optimal control signal. This solution avoids the sudden changes in speed and acceleration under traditional start-stop methods by dynamically adjusting the start-stop speed and acceleration of the valve, effectively reducing mechanical shock, vibration, and noise, reducing mechanical wear on valves and pipelines, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0110] Moreover, this patent application adopts a predictive control algorithm (MPC), which can automatically adjust the speed, acceleration and other parameters of the start-stop process according to the real-time operating conditions of the nuclear power system, ensuring that the valve can be started and stopped smoothly in a short time, thereby greatly shortening the response time and improving the overall efficiency and sensitivity of the system.

[0111] In addition, in a specific embodiment of the present application, a validity judgment module 20 and a signal adjustment module 40 are also included. Figure 6 shown.

[0112] The validity judgment module is used to judge whether the working status information is valid.

[0113] Specifically, during the process of outputting the optimal control signal to the valve actuator and controlling the valve, the validity of the newly acquired operating status information is determined. Validity here means that each data point in the operating status information is within a reasonable range. If the operating status information is valid, the subsequent process of obtaining the optimal control signal based on the MPC algorithm is executed.

[0114] The signal adjustment module is used to adjust the optimal control signal.

[0115] That is, when it is determined that the working state information is invalid, the optimal control signal obtained above is adjusted, that is, the valve opening, start and stop speed, and acceleration are adjusted. The adjusted optimal control signal is then output to the valve value actuator to achieve better control of the valve.

[0116] This application provides feedback based on the effectiveness of key parameters such as valve opening, flow rate, and pressure, and instantly adjusts control signals based on this feedback, ensuring smooth and precise valve startup and shutdown. This prevents valve vibration or system instability caused by varying operating conditions. Furthermore, through real-time monitoring and adjustment, it effectively improves the safety and reliability of nuclear power plants and ensures the smooth operation of the reheat control system during load fluctuations.

[0117] In another specific embodiment of the present application, the present application further includes a real-time monitoring module 60 and a fault diagnosis module 70, specifically Figure 7 shown.

[0118] The real-time monitoring module is used to monitor the actual status of the valve in real time.

[0119] Through real-time monitoring, the actual state of the valve, that is, the real-time opening of the valve, is obtained, and whether the real-time opening is consistent with the opening specified by the above-mentioned optimal control instruction is consistent. If it is consistent, no operation is performed; if it is not consistent, subsequent operations are performed.

[0120] The fault diagnosis module is used to perform fault diagnosis on the valve.

[0121] That is, when the real-time opening of the valve does not meet the requirements, a fault diagnosis is performed on the valve. If the diagnosed fault information indicates that the valve is faulty, a redundant system switch is executed, or the preset emergency handling procedure is executed.

[0122] Through these operations, valve status can be monitored in real time and fault analysis can be performed. If a valve becomes stuck or responds slowly, the system automatically switches to a redundant control system or backup actuator, preventing the fault from affecting the normal operation of the nuclear power plant. This mechanism greatly improves the reliability and safety of the system.

[0123] Through the above-mentioned emergency treatment, it is possible to quickly enter emergency mode when encountering valve abnormalities or system failures, and promptly notify operators through the alarm system, ensuring that the nuclear power plant can respond quickly and take corresponding measures to avoid potential safety risks.

[0124] Furthermore, this application also provides the following specific implementation methods, such as Figure 8 As shown, in the following specific implementation, based on the above operations, a data recording module 80 is further included:

[0125] The data recording module is used to record data during operation.

[0126] During these operations, all data, including but not limited to operating status information, load trends, and valve operation and status parameters, is recorded, and an operation report is generated based on the records. By archiving the relevant data for management, subsequent tracking and optimization of nuclear power plant operations can be achieved.

This electronic device is merely an example and should not limit the functionality and scope of use of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0131] The electronic device may include a processing device (e.g., a central processing unit, a graphics processing unit, etc.) 901, which can perform various appropriate actions and processes according to a program stored in a read-only memory ROM 902 or a program loaded from an input device 906 into a random access memory RAM 903.

More or fewer devices may be implemented or present instead.

[0133] This embodiment also provides an embodiment of a computer-readable storage medium.

[0134] The computer-readable storage medium is applied to an electronic device and carries one or more computer programs. When the one or more computer programs are executed by the electronic device, the electronic device responds to the user's rapid start and stop instructions, obtains the valve's operating status information and the load change trend of the power grid in the future, processes the operating status information, load change trend, and the valve's hard constraints based on the MPC algorithm, and obtains the optimal control signal for the next moment. The optimal control signal is output to the valve actuator of the valve so that the valve actuator controls the valve based on the optimal control signal. This solution avoids the sudden changes in speed and acceleration under traditional start and stop methods by dynamically adjusting the valve's start and stop speed and acceleration, effectively reducing mechanical shock, vibration, and noise, reducing mechanical wear on valves and pipelines, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0135] It should be noted that the computer-readable medium disclosed herein may be a computer-readable signal medium or a computer-readable storage medium or any combination thereof.

[0136] In the present disclosure, a computer-readable storage medium may be any tangible medium that contains or stores a program that can be used by or in conjunction with an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device. In the present disclosure, a computer-readable signal medium may include a data signal propagated in baseband or as part of a carrier wave, which carries computer-readable program code. This propagated data signal may take a variety of forms, including but not limited to electromagnetic signals, optical signals, or any suitable combination of the foregoing.
