Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of nuclear power plants, and in particular to a liquid level control method for a nuclear power plant steam generator, a liquid level control device for a nuclear power plant steam generator, an electronic device, and a computer storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In a nuclear power plant, SG (Steam Generator) is a key device between the reactor coolant system and the steam turbine. It is used to transfer the heat of the reactor coolant (such as primary circuit water) to the secondary circuit working fluid (such as water), causing it to evaporate into high-temperature and high-pressure steam to drive the steam turbine generator set to generate electricity.

[0003] To ensure the safety and stability of steam turbine generator sets, nuclear power plants primarily utilize electric main feedwater pumps (MFFPs). These pumps are required to respond to the variable speed requirements of the feedwater flow control system to provide an appropriate feedwater flow to the SG within the full reactor load range. Typically, under high-load conditions, the opening of the MFFP control valve is controlled by parameters such as feedwater flow, steam flow, and SG level. Under low-load conditions, the SG level is the primary factor controlling the MFFP opening. Furthermore, the MFFP speed is controlled by the pressure differential between the steam header and the feedwater pump outlet header. This control strategy effectively maintains a stable SG level during stable operation and when the reactor experiences minor fluctuations. However, during significant fluctuations, the MFFP opening and feedwater pump speed cannot converge, leading to uncontrolled SG levels and unnecessary activation of safety systems, which in turn impacts the reactor's economic operability and reliability.

[0042] In addition, although the terms used in this application are selected from commonly known and commonly used terms, some of the terms mentioned in this specification may be selected by the applicant at his or her discretion, and their detailed meanings are explained in the relevant parts of the description herein. In addition, it is required that this application be understood not only by the actual terms used, but also by the meaning implied by each term.

[0044] In order to better understand the liquid level control method of a nuclear power plant steam generator proposed in this application, the liquid level control system of the steam generator to which this method is applied is introduced below. Figure 1The liquid level control system 10 may include two steam generators (steam generator No. 1 100 and steam generator No. 2 101), four main feedwater pumps 102, two main feedwater channels 103, two main feedwater regulating valves 104, and two main feedwater isolation valves 105. The main feedwater pump is used to deliver high-pressure feedwater to the steam generator through the main feedwater channel. The main feedwater pump uses variable frequency speed regulation to match steam demand in real time. For example, when the load increases, the speed increases to increase the feedwater pressure and flow rate, and when the load decreases, the speed decreases to avoid overpressure. The main feedwater regulating valve dynamically adjusts the opening according to the steam generator liquid level signal to regulate the feedwater flow rate. For example, when the liquid level is too high, the valve is closed to reduce the water supply, and when the liquid level is too low, the valve is opened to increase the flow rate. The main feedwater isolation valve is a key device to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the system. Its core function is to quickly cut off or connect the flow of the main feedwater channel. For example, when a steam generator leaks, a pipeline ruptures, or the main feedwater pump fails, the main feedwater isolation valve can be quickly closed to cut off the feedwater supply, preventing the steam generator liquid level from getting out of control due to the feedwater failure.

[0045] It can be understood that the number of steam generators, main feed water pumps, main feed water flow channels, main feed water regulating valves, and main feed water isolation valves in the above-mentioned liquid level control system 10 are all examples and do not constitute a specific limitation to the present application.

[0046] In a nuclear power plant, the steam generator is a key device between the reactor coolant system (not shown) and the steam turbine (not shown). The reactor cooling system generates heat through the fission reaction in the reactor core, heats the coolant (such as high-pressure water), and transmits it to the steam generator. The steam generator transfers heat to the secondary circuit working medium (water) through the tube wall, causing it to evaporate into high-temperature, high-pressure steam, which drives the steam turbine to generate electricity. Maintaining a stable liquid level in the steam generator is crucial. Precise control of the steam generator liquid level is directly related to the safety and operating efficiency of the nuclear power plant:

[0047] 1. Prevent steam from carrying water: If the liquid level is too high, saturated steam will carry water into the turbine, causing blade erosion, reduced efficiency, and even vibration failure;

[0048] 2. Avoiding exposed fuel rods: A low liquid level may cause insufficient reactor coolant, resulting in partial exposure of fuel rods to high temperatures, leading to the risk of core overheating or meltdown;

[0049] 3. System pressure balance: Liquid level fluctuations will directly affect the secondary circuit steam pressure and flow, thereby interfering with the turbine load response capability and destroying the stability of the thermal cycle;

[0050] 4. Safety protection linkage: abnormal liquid level may trigger emergency shutdown, reactor safety system activation and other protection actions, resulting in unplanned shutdown or equipment damage;

[0051] 5. Thermal efficiency optimization: A stable liquid level is a necessary condition for maintaining efficient heat exchange in the steam generator, which directly affects the conversion efficiency of nuclear energy → thermal energy → electrical energy.

[0052] Therefore, the core task of ensuring the safe, reliable and economical operation of the power plant is to adjust the feedwater flow in real time through the coordinated action of the main feedwater regulating valve opening and the main feedwater pump speed to ensure that the steam generator liquid level is always within the set range.

[0053] Based on this, this application proposes a liquid level control method for a nuclear power plant steam generator, see Figure 2 , the method can be applied to the above-mentioned liquid level control system 10, comprising the following steps:

[0054] S200: Acquire the power of the reactor.

[0055] S201: If the power change rate of the reactor detected according to the power exceeds the change rate threshold, the opening of the main feed water regulating valve is adjusted to a preset opening threshold, and the speed of the main feed water pump is adjusted to a preset speed threshold.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the default state controls the opening of the main feedwater regulating valve and the speed of the main feedwater pump using an initial control mode. During the control process, reactor power is continuously collected, and the rate of change of the reactor power is calculated once each time the data is collected. If the rate of change of power does not exceed the rate of change threshold, indicating that the reactor has not experienced significant fluctuations, the initial control mode is maintained. If the rate of change of power exceeds the rate of change threshold, indicating that the reactor has experienced significant fluctuations, maintaining the initial control mode will cause the opening of the main feedwater regulating valve and the speed of the main feedwater pump to be repeatedly adjusted, failing to reach a convergence state, resulting in loss of control of the steam generator liquid level. Therefore, in this case, the opening of the main feedwater regulating valve can be directly adjusted to a preset opening threshold, and the speed of the main feedwater pump can be adjusted to a preset speed threshold. This only requires a single adjustment, eliminating the need for repeated adjustments of the opening of the main feedwater regulating valve and the speed of the main feedwater pump. This reduces the significant fluctuations of the main feedwater regulating valve and the main feedwater pump, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

[0057] S202: Continuously monitor the current liquid level of the steam generator. When it is detected that the current liquid level meets the preset liquid level condition, restore to the initial control mode to control the opening of the main feed water regulating valve and the speed of the main feed water pump.

[0058] In one embodiment, after adjusting the opening of the main feedwater regulating valve to a preset opening threshold and the speed of the main feedwater pump to a preset speed threshold, the current liquid level of the steam generator can be continuously monitored. If the current liquid level is greater than or equal to the liquid level condition value, it is determined that the current liquid level meets the preset liquid level condition, and the initial control mode is restored to control the opening of the main feedwater regulating valve and the speed of the main feedwater pump. Alternatively, if the current liquid level is detected to be less than a lower liquid level limit (the lower liquid level limit is less than the liquid level condition value), a reactor shutdown signal is issued. Alternatively, if it is detected that the current liquid level is greater than or equal to the liquid level lower limit value and less than the liquid level condition value, the current liquid level of the steam generator will continue to be monitored, and the latest collected current liquid level will continue to be compared with the liquid level condition value and the above-mentioned liquid level lower limit value. According to the comparison results, the above-mentioned different processing is performed (restore to the initial control mode to control the opening of the main feed water regulating valve and the speed of the main feed water pump, send a reactor shutdown signal, or continue to monitor the current liquid level of the steam generator again), and so on, until the current liquid level is greater than or equal to the liquid level condition value, or less than the liquid level lower limit value. Among them, as a feasible method, if the continuous monitoring time exceeds the preset time, and the current liquid level is still less than the liquid level condition value, but not less than the liquid level lower limit value, an alarm message is output and the user manually verifies the cause.

[0059] As a feasible approach, the opening of the main feedwater regulating valve in the initial control mode is determined based on the feedwater demand flow rate, which is determined based on the steam generator's liquid level deviation and steam-water mismatch deviation. The liquid level deviation is the deviation between the steam generator's liquid level and the target liquid level, and the steam-water mismatch deviation is the deviation between the steam generator's steam flow rate and the feedwater flow rate. For example, in the initial control mode, when the feedwater demand flow rate increases, the opening of the feedwater regulating valve is increased until the actual feedwater flow rate equals the feedwater demand flow rate. When the feedwater demand flow rate decreases, the opening of the feedwater regulating valve is decreased until the actual feedwater flow rate equals the feedwater demand flow rate.

[0060] As a feasible approach, the speed of the main feedwater pump in the initial control mode is controlled based on the pressure difference between the steam main pipe corresponding to the steam generator and the outlet main pipe corresponding to the main feedwater pump. For example, when the pressure difference increases, the speed of the main feedwater pump is reduced until the actual pressure difference equals the set value; when the pressure difference decreases, the speed of the main feedwater pump is increased until the actual pressure difference equals the set value.

[0061] It is understood that the aforementioned rate-of-change threshold, preset opening threshold, preset speed threshold, liquid level condition value, lower liquid level limit, and set value can all be pre-set based on experimental data and can be a specific value or a range of values, and can be subsequently adjusted based on actual needs. For example, the rate-of-change threshold can be 50%, the preset opening threshold can be 70%, the preset speed threshold can be 95%, and the liquid level condition value can be 65%.

[0062] As a feasible approach, the method for determining the preset opening threshold and the preset speed threshold may include the following steps:

[0063] Step 1: Obtain the first operating parameter of the steam generator and the water density ρ at the main feed water pump pump , the second operating parameter of the reactor cooling system and the core heat generation q of the reactor corresponding to the reactor cooling system c Wherein, the first operating parameter includes any one or more of the following: water quality M of the steam generator SG , steam generator temperature T SG and designated parameters at various locations of the steam generator (e.g., SG inlet, outlet, internal, etc.); the second operating parameter includes any one or more of the following: reactor coolant system water quality M RCS , reactor coolant system temperature T RCS ;

[0064] Step 2: According to the first operating parameter, ρ pump , the second operating parameter, q c and a preset function to determine a preset opening threshold and a preset speed threshold.

[0065] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned specified parameters include any one or more of the following: water density ρ i , circulation area A i , along-the-line loss coefficient f i , length l i , hydraulic diameter d i , and the local loss coefficient k i , the preset functions include the following formulas:

[0066]

[0067] is the mass flow rate entering the steam generator, is the mass flow rate out of the steam generator, and is the steam generator pressure P SG function; g is the acceleration due to gravity (known value), H pump The head of the main water supply pump, and H pump yes and the function of the main feed water pump speed; P SG is the steam generator pressure, and P SG is the steam generator temperature T SG Function; CV valve The flow resistance of the main water supply regulating valve, and CV valve is a function of valve opening; H RCS is the enthalpy of the reactor coolant system, and H RCSis the reactor coolant system temperature T RCS function; h is the heat transfer coefficient (known value), A SG is the heat transfer area, and A SG is the steam generator water mass M SG function.

[0068] When executing the above step 2, the above first operating parameter, ρ pump , the second operating parameter, q c Substituting into Equations 1 to 3 yields a unique numerical relationship between valve opening and main feedwater pump speed. Multiple combinations exist that satisfy this numerical relationship. Subsequently, the optimal combination can be determined from all possible combinations, either manually by experts or through simulation software. The valve opening and pump speed in this optimal combination are then determined as the preset opening threshold and preset speed threshold, respectively.

[0069] As you can understand, Equations 1 through 3 comprehensively consider multiple key physical processes and parameters. First, Equation 1 describes the temporal evolution of water quality in the SG, which is related to the mass flow rate entering and exiting the SG. This lays the foundation for subsequent analysis of parameters such as SG pressure. Equation 2 is a key comprehensive equation that incorporates important parameters such as the main feedwater pump head, SG pressure, fluid losses along the pipeline (determined by parameters such as f, l, and d), and the flow resistance of the main feedwater regulating valve. This equation relates the energy (head) provided by the main feedwater pump to SG pressure, pipeline resistance losses, and valve flow resistance, reflecting the momentum balance relationship within the entire liquid level control system. Equation 3 describes the thermal balance of the reactor coolant system, taking into account factors such as core heat generation, heat transfer coefficient, heat transfer area, and the temperature difference between the reactor coolant system and the SG. This helps determine parameters such as SG temperature, which in turn affects SG pressure and is in turn correlated with the relationship between the main pump head and valve opening. In these formulas, valve opening directly affects the flow resistance of the main feedwater regulating valve, which, along with SG pressure, pipeline resistance, valve flow resistance, and other factors, satisfies the energy balance relationship. Therefore, based on these formulas, the relationship between valve opening and main feedwater pump speed can be accurately determined, providing a theoretical basis for the liquid level control of this application.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present application, when the rate of change of reactor power exceeds a rate of change threshold, the opening of the main feedwater regulating valve is adjusted to a preset opening threshold, the speed of the main feedwater pump is adjusted to a preset speed threshold, and the current liquid level of the steam generator is continuously monitored. When the current liquid level meets the preset liquid level condition, the initial control mode is restored to control the opening of the main feedwater regulating valve and the speed of the main feedwater pump. In this manner, when the reactor experiences severe fluctuations, the speed of the main feedwater regulating valve and the speed of the main feedwater pump can be adjusted to the desired position at once based on the preset opening threshold and the preset speed threshold, thus avoiding the situation where the SG liquid level is out of control during repeated adjustments of the opening of the main feedwater regulating valve and the speed of the main feedwater pump.

[0071] See also Figure 3 The present application proposes a steam generator liquid level control device 30 that can execute the above method. The device 30 includes a power operation logic unit 300, a high value trigger logic unit 301, a first liquid level trigger logic unit 302, an RS (set-reset) trigger logic unit 303, a first switch logic unit 304 for controlling the opening of the main feedwater regulating valve, and a second switch logic unit 305 for controlling the speed of the main feedwater pump, wherein:

[0072] The power operation logic unit 300 is used to derive the input reactor power signal to obtain the power change rate of the reactor and input the power change rate to the high value trigger logic unit 301.

[0076] The second switching logic unit 305 is used to send a second control command to the main water supply pump according to the confirmation signal, and the second control command is used to instruct to adjust the speed of the main water supply pump to a preset speed threshold.
