[0002] Currently, the timing of gas turbine performance degradation and the cleaning of the flow passage are primarily based on gas turbine efficiency. However, thermal efficiency measurement is affected by the accuracy of power measurement, fuel lower heating value testing, and fuel flow measurement. Furthermore, the unique operating environments of gas turbines used in offshore oil platforms and ship propulsion impose certain limitations on accurate thermal efficiency measurement, all of which can affect the determination of gas turbine performance degradation. Summary of the Invention

Utilizing the linear relationship between ε and thermal efficiency η, the thermal efficiency η at different ε levels is calculated, thereby determining the performance degradation value and the timing for cleaning the flow passage. This method utilizes the characteristic that high-pressure compressor speed increases and outlet pressure decreases after gas turbine performance degradation to propose a gas turbine performance degradation indicator variable, circumventing the problem of inaccurate thermal efficiency measurement due to objective conditions. The method is easy to operate and has important implications for gas turbine operation. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described below.

[0021] The specific process of applying the method of the present application to a specific gas turbine to measure performance degradation is as follows.

[0022] Step 1: Select the high-pressure compressor speed and the air pressure after the high-pressure compressor at different inlet temperatures when the gas turbine is in stable operation and the actual rated operating condition deviation is (±1 kW) during different operating periods, as shown in Tables 1 to 5.

[0023] In this embodiment, the operating periods of the gas turbine are: 1200 hours, 1100 hours, 950 hours, 900 hours, and 600 hours.

[0032]

[0033]

[0034] Table 5 Speed ​​and temperature at different intake air temperatures during 600 hours of operation

[0035]

[0036] Step 2: Correct the high-pressure compressor speed N2 and the air pressure after the high-pressure compressor P2 at different operating periods and different intake air temperatures of the gas turbine in step 1. The correction results are shown in Tables 1 to 5 above.

[0037] The correction method is as follows:

[0038]

[0039] Where, T 标准 =300.15K=(27+273.15); T 实时 is the intake air temperature, unit (K); P 标准 is the standard atmospheric pressure, which is 101300 Pa; P 实时 is the real-time atmospheric pressure, unit (pa); P2 is the air pressure after the high-pressure compressor, unit (Mpa); N2 is the high-pressure compressor speed, unit (r / min).

[0040] Step 3: Convert the N at different inlet temperatures in step 2 2折合 、P 2折合 Take the average value respectively, record it as: N 2折合平均 、P 2折合平均 The calculation results are shown in Tables 1 to 5 above.

[0041]

[0042] The ε for the 1200-hour period, 1100-hour period, 950-hour period, 900-hour period, and 600-hour period are 4555.29, 4551.05, 4539.70, 4504.78, and 4459.83, respectively.

[0043] ε is defined as the gas turbine performance degradation indicator variable.

[0044] Step 4: Take ε at different time periods, measure the thermal efficiency η of the gas turbine at the corresponding time periods, establish a linear relationship between Δε and Δη, and obtain the thermal efficiency η under different ε, and then obtain the performance degradation value and determine the cleaning time of the flow part.

[0045] Through thermal efficiency measurement, the unit thermal efficiency η is 42.5% during the 600-hour operation period; the unit thermal efficiency η is 42.38% during the 900-hour operation period;

[0046] The linear relationship between Δε and Δη is:

[0047] (42.50-42.38) / (4459.83-4504.78)=0.002669;

[0048] If the thermal efficiency η decreases by 0.5%, water cleaning should be performed, and ε should be increased:

[0049] When 0.5 / 0.002669=187.3046, i.e., ε=187.3046+4459.83=4647.1346, the flow-through portion is cleaned.

[0050] Performance declines from 600 hours to 1200 hours of operation

[0051] Δε=4555.29-4459.83=95.46, thermal efficiency reduction Δη=95.46×0.002669=0.255%.

[0052] The above description is an explanation of the present invention, not a limitation of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined in the claims. Any modifications may be made within the scope of protection of the present invention.
