Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automatic control of thermal power units, and in particular to a method and system for automatically controlling the water level of a condenser hot well of a thermal power unit. Background Art

[0002] In the thermal power unit steam turbine thermal system, leakage of working fluids, such as industrial heating, deaerator exhaust, condensate and feedwater sampling, boiler drain leaks, and boiler sootblowing, can cause the water levels in the deaerator tank and hot well to drop. Currently, the deaerator tank water level is controlled using a three-impulse control strategy based on steam flow, condensate flow, and deaerator tank water level. This strategy, coupled with a variable-frequency condensate pump, achieves dynamic regulation, controlling the deaerator tank water level to fluctuate slightly around a set level.

[0003] However, thermal power unit hot well water level control systems have significant limitations. First, monitoring methods are crude, relying on manual meter reading and periodic water balance tests. These methods struggle to capture dynamic fluid changes such as boiler soot blowing, deaerator oxygen discharge, and boiler drain leakage in real time, resulting in delayed response under abnormal operating conditions. Second, control methods lack flexibility, relying entirely on operator experience to manually adjust the start and stop of feedwater pumps, making them unable to adapt to the nonlinear fluctuations in leakage rates under varying operating conditions. This is particularly true in the context of new power systems, where frequent peak load regulation exacerbates load fluctuations. When load suddenly increases, turbine steam intake and feedwater flow increase dramatically, forcing condensate pumps to rapidly draw water from the hot well to meet demand, causing a temporary drop in water level. A sudden drop in load, however, results in a temporary rise in water level. These frequent and large water level fluctuations render traditional manual control methods incapable of meeting the precise hot well water level control requirements of new power systems. Furthermore, the persistent impact of fluid leakage significantly increases the difficulty of water level regulation. Summary of the Invention

[0133] Example 2

[0134] Based on this embodiment, a method for automatically controlling the water level of a condenser hot well of a thermal power unit is provided, with the following two control cases:

[0135] (1) Case 1:

[0136] A 600MW unit has four control thresholds: H1 is 600mm, H2 is 900mm, H4 is 1500mm, H5 is 1800mm; the water level holding value H3 is 1200mm, and the deaerator size is L C= 24m, r = 2.2m, s = 1m, and the hot well dimensions are M = 15m and N = 12m. Set the deaerator tank operating water level to 3600mm (the deaerator tank water volume setting can be further obtained by setting the deaerator tank operating water level). Set the first preset time interval to 10 minutes. Set the previous first preset time interval to 0:00-00:10. The current time is 00:10.

[0137] At 00:00, the water level of the hot well is 905mm, and the water level of the deaerator tank is 3650mm. At 00:10, the water level of the hot well is 890mm, and the water level of the deaerator is 3660mm. The average pressure of the condenser during the period of 0:00-00:10 is 6kPa, and the average pressure of the deaerator is 0.88MPa. The average flow rate of the hot well desalted water is Q 补 =5t / h.

[0138] First, calculate the hot well equivalent flow rate, deaerator water tank equivalent flow rate, and leakage flow rate during the first preset time interval of 00:00-0:10:

[0139] Based on the deaerator tank pressure of 0.88 MPa, the water density in the deaerator tank is calculated to be 892.9 kg / m³ using the IAPWS-IF97 water vapor properties formula. At 00:00, the water level was 3.65 m, and the deaerator tank water volume calculation formula was 342.34 m³. At 00:10, the water level was 3.66 m, and the deaerator tank water volume calculation formula was 343.17 m³. The deaerator water level rose, and the deaerator equivalent flow rate was -4.45 t / h.

[0140] Based on a hot well pressure of 0.006 MPa, the IAPWS-IF97 water vapor property formula was used to calculate the hot well water density to be 993.6 kg / m³. At 00:00, the water level was 0.905 m, and the hot well water volume was calculated to be 162.9 m³ using the hot well volume calculation formula. At 00:10, the water level was 0.890 m, and the hot well water volume was calculated to be 160.2 m³ using the hot well volume calculation formula. The hot well water level was declining, and the hot well equivalent flow rate was 16.10 t / h.

[0141] The leakage of the thermal system is -4.45+16.10+5=16.65 t / h.

[0142] Secondly, the deaerator water tank is set to a water level of 3.6m, the deaerator water tank is set to a water volume of 338.12m³, and the corrected hot well water level is

[0143] If the corrected hot well water level is higher than the H2 water level and lower than the H4 water level, an operating instruction is issued to shut down the water supply pump and control the water supply flow rate to 16.65t / h by adjusting the opening of the water supply regulating valve.

[0144] (2) Case 2:

[0145] A 600MW unit has four control thresholds: H1 is 600mm, H2 is 900mm, H4 is 1500mm, H5 is 1800mm; the water level holding value H3 is 1200mm, and the deaerator size is L C = 24m, r = 2.2m, s = 1m, and the hot well dimensions are M = 15m and N = 12m. Set the deaerator tank operating water level to 3600mm (the deaerator tank water volume setting can be further obtained by setting the deaerator tank operating water level). Set the first preset time interval to 10 minutes. Set the previous first preset time interval to 00:00-00:10. The current time is 00:10.

[0146] At 00:01, the water level of the hot well is 885mm, and the water level of the deaerator tank is 3650mm. At 00:10, the water level of the hot well is 870mm, and the water level of the deaerator is 3660mm. The average pressure of the condenser during the period of 0:00-00:10 is 6kPa, and the average pressure of the deaerator is 0.88MPa. The average flow rate of the hot well desalted water is Q 补 =5t / h.

[0147] First, calculate the hot well equivalent flow rate, deaerator water tank equivalent flow rate, and leakage flow rate during the 00:00-0:10 time period:

[0148] Based on the deaerator tank pressure of 0.88 MPa, the water density in the deaerator tank is calculated to be 892.9 kg / m³ using the IAPWS-IF97 water vapor properties formula. At 00:00, the water level was 3.65 m, and the deaerator tank water volume calculation formula was 342.34 m³. At 00:10, the water level was 3.66 m, and the deaerator tank water volume calculation formula was 343.17 m³. The deaerator water level rose, and the deaerator equivalent flow rate was -4.45 t / h.

[0149] Based on a hot well pressure of 0.006 MPa, the IAPWS-IF97 water vapor property formula was used to calculate the hot well water density to be 993.6 kg / m³. At 00:00, the water level was 0.885 m, and the hot well water volume was calculated to be 159.3 m³ using the hot well volume calculation formula. At 00:10, the water level was 0.870 m, and the hot well water volume was calculated to be 156.6 m³ using the hot well volume calculation formula. The hot well water level was declining, and the hot well equivalent flow rate was 16.10 t / h.

[0150] The leakage of the thermal system is -4.45+16.10+5=16.65 t / h.

[0151] Secondly, the deaerator water tank is set to 3.6m, the deaerator water tank is set to 338.12m³, and the corrected hot well water level is .

[0152] If the water level of the corrected hot well is higher than the H1 level and lower than the H2 level, the water supply pump will be shut down and the water supply regulating valve will be adjusted to control the water supply flow rate to t / h (tons / hour) operation instruction, where 1h (hour) is the second preset time interval.

[0153] Based on the above case and the method for automatically controlling the hot well water level of the condenser of a thermal power unit described in Example 1, the present invention should explain that: for the control of the hot well water level, the control frequency is set to once per minute, so that the calculation frequency of the leakage flow is also once per minute;

[0154] Specifically, the sliding window average algorithm can be used to calculate the leakage flow of the previous first preset time interval. For example, in Case 1, the current time is 00:10. Since the first time interval is set to 10 minutes, the average data of the window is calculated when calculating the average water replenishment flow, hot well equivalent flow and deaerator water tank equivalent flow of the previous first preset time interval to obtain the leakage flow of the previous first preset time interval; at 00:10, if the corrected hot well water level is When the water supply is 100%, the third operation instruction is issued; the third operation instruction includes: closing the water supply pump and adjusting the opening of the water supply regulating valve to control the water supply flow rate so that the water supply flow rate is equal to the leakage flow rate at 00:00-00:10;

[0155] Based on Case 1, Case 2 is about the automatic regulation of the hot well water level at 00:11 in one minute. The sliding window average algorithm is also used to calculate the average water replenishment flow, hot well equivalent flow and deaerator tank equivalent flow from 00:01 to 00:11. The average data of the window is calculated to obtain the leakage flow from 00:01 to 00:11.
