Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of tower type solar thermal power generation, and particularly relates to a method for calculating the auxiliary power rate of a generator unit of a solar thermal power station. BACKGROUND

[0002] Solar thermal power generation is gradually becoming an indispensable key component in new power systems due to its unique advantages such as large-scale energy storage, high stability of power generation, and strong peak regulation capability. However, the prediction accuracy of the power generation of a solar thermal power station still faces severe challenges, and it is difficult to meet the accuracy requirements of power grid dispatching for power generation plans. The auxiliary power rate of a generator unit, as a key parameter for evaluating the power generation efficiency and predicting the power of a solar thermal power station, directly affects the prediction results of the power generation.

[0003] In the traditional calculation model of the auxiliary power rate of a generator unit of a solar thermal power station, there are some defects that make it difficult to meet the actual needs:

[0004] 1. There is a significant negative correlation between the fixed loss of the generator unit and the output power of the generator - when the load rate decreases, the proportion of the fixed loss in the total power consumption will increase significantly. However, the traditional model does not consider this characteristic, and cannot accurately quantify the fixed loss under different loads.

[0005] 2. During the start-stop process of a solar thermal power station, there is significant transient energy consumption in the transition stage from static to stable operation of the generator unit equipment. The traditional model does not specifically model this type of transient process, resulting in a large calculation deviation under start-stop conditions.

[0006] 3. The cooling system energy consumption (cooling loss) is strongly correlated with the condenser temperature difference (the difference between the condenser saturation temperature and the circulating water outlet temperature). In the summer high temperature period, the increase in circulating water temperature will cause the cooling loss to account for more than 30%, while in the winter it is only 5% to 10%. The traditional model cannot capture this dynamic characteristic related to the ambient temperature, and the calculation accuracy decreases significantly under extreme temperature conditions.

[0007] The above defects cause the calculation error of the auxiliary power rate of the generator unit to increase significantly when the load fluctuates, the start-stop frequency is high, or the ambient temperature changes dramatically, which in turn causes the power generation prediction deviation to exceed the standard, and cannot meet the accurate dispatching requirements of the power grid for the power generation plan of the solar thermal power station. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a calculation method that can dynamically decompose the auxiliary power components of the generator unit and accurately quantify the energy consumption of each component, in order to improve the calculation accuracy of the auxiliary power rate of the generator unit of the solar thermal power station and provide reliable support for the accurate prediction of the power generation of the solar thermal power station.

[0076] 3.1 Construction of three-component dynamic decomposition model of auxiliary power rate of generator set

[0077] The three-component dynamic decomposition model of the auxiliary power rate of the generator set is as follows:

[0078] ;

[0079] Among them, is the final value of the auxiliary power rate of the generator set;

[0080] is the output power of the generator, unit: MW, obtained through the solar thermal power station information management system;

[0081] is the start-stop state flag, 0 for stop and 1 for start, obtained through the solar thermal power station information management system;

[0082] is the daily cycle correction term, t is the time of the day (0-24h), the coefficient 0.02 in the formula is determined based on the fitting of 3-year historical operation data of the solar thermal power station, and represents that the upper limit of the daily cycle fluctuation amplitude is ±2%;

[0083] is the condenser terminal difference, unit: ℃, obtained by subtracting the circulating water outlet temperature from the condenser saturation temperature, obtained through the solar thermal power station information management system;

[0084] is the decay coefficient, represented by a segmented function: when t<60 minutes, =0.15min -1 , when t≥60 minutes, = 0.05 min -1 ;

[0085] C is the coupling correction term, expressed as:

[0086] ;

[0087] When the condenser approach exceeds 15℃ (extreme high temperature operating condition), the decrease in cooling system efficiency will cause a significant increase in cooling loss, and the high temperature environment will cause the auxiliary equipment (such as pumps and cooling fans) in the fixed loss to consume additional energy due to the increased heat dissipation demand. At this time, the fixed loss and the cooling loss are not independent, but form a superposition effect. By correlating the core parameters of the cooling loss with the fixed loss term, the superposition effect is quantified, breaking the limitation of "fixed loss and cooling loss independent calculation", making the generator set plant power consumption rate calculation under extreme high temperature operating condition more close to the actual energy consumption characteristics, and thus improving the calculation accuracy;

[0088] is the fixed loss coefficient, is the start-stop transient coefficient, is the cooling loss coefficient, and by screening the sample data corresponding to the operating condition (fixed loss screening steady-state data, start-stop transient loss screening start-stop process data, cooling loss screening high temperature day data), the regression algorithm is used for calibration in turn.

[0089] 3.2 Model coefficient calibration

[0090] The specific calibration method is as follows:

[0091] First, a three-component dynamic decomposition preliminary model of the generator set plant power consumption rate is established:

[0092] ;

[0093] Where, is the initial value of the generator set plant power consumption rate.

[0094] Collect complete historical operation data of the solar thermal power plant, including measured values of the generator set plant power consumption rate under different operating conditions for more than 3 years, generator output power, start-stop state marker, condenser approach, circulating water temperature, etc., which can be obtained from the solar thermal power plant information management system; use the regression algorithm to fit the parameters, establish the loss function, quantify the deviation between the model predicted value and the measured value, provide a clear target for parameter optimization, and ensure that the parameters obtained by fitting can accurately reflect the true characteristics of each component of the plant power consumption rate, and thus improve the calculation accuracy of the plant power consumption rate model.

[0095] Establish the loss function :

[0096] ;

[0097] wherein N is the number of valid samples, which can be the number of valid samples of fixed loss events, the number of valid samples of start-stop transient events, or the number of valid samples of cooling loss events;

[0098] is the measured plant power consumption rate of the i-th valid sample, which is obtained through the information management system of the solar-thermal power station;

[0099] is the calculated plant power consumption rate of the i-th valid sample, which is obtained through the three-component dynamic decomposition preliminary model;

[0100] The optimal coefficient is obtained by minimizing the deviation square sum using the loss function, so that the model calculation value is closest to the measured value of the power station 、 , .

[0101] (1) Calibration of the fixed loss coefficient

[0102] Select the data set: take the steady-state data of and , including the measured plant power consumption rate of the generator set in the historical operation data of the generator set and the generator output power, at this time, the start-stop loss is 0 and the cooling loss is in a normal state. The data selection needs to ensure that the number of valid samples is not less than 3000, covering the full range of generator output power (10-100 MW) and complete daily cycle (0-24 h). In order to ensure the fitting accuracy of the function relationship and the daily cycle correction term, and reduce the calibration error of .

[0103] At this time, the calculated plant power consumption rate of the generator set in the preliminary model is only composed of the fixed loss term, and the fitting equation is:

[0104] ;

[0105] wherein is the plant power consumption rate under the fixed loss condition, which is obtained through the historical operation data of the solar-thermal power station;

[0106] Substitute the fitting equation of the fixed loss coefficient into the above loss function formula, replace in the loss function formula with to calculate, convert the loss function into a function containing only , and use the least square method to obtain . The specific process is as follows:

[0107] ; ​

[0108] where, is the calculated value of auxiliary power rate of the qth fixed loss event valid sample, is the generator output power of the qth fixed loss event valid sample, is the time of day of the qth fixed loss event valid sample.

[0109] Substitute the above fitting equation into the loss function formula. At this time, the loss function is converted into a function containing only :

[0110] ;

[0111] where, is the number of fixed loss event valid samples;

[0112] is the measured value of auxiliary power rate of the qth fixed loss event valid sample.

[0113] In order to minimize the loss function (that is, the deviation between the calculated value and the measured value is minimized), according to the least squares method, the is solved with respect to and the derivative is set to 0:

[0114] ;

[0115] The formula is arranged as:

[0116] ;

[0117] Solving gives :

[0118] ;

[0119] where, is the generator output power of the qth fixed loss event valid sample, which is obtained through the information management system of the photovoltaic thermal power station.

[0120] By minimizing the deviation between the predicted value and the measured value of the fixed loss, it is ensured that accurately reflects the negative correlation between the load rate and the fixed loss.

[0121] (2) Calibration of start-stop transient coefficient :

[0122] Select the data set: take the start-stop process data of , including the measured value of auxiliary power rate of the generator set in the historical operation data of the generator set. Data selection needs to ensure that a single start-stop process (the start-stop process of the qth fixed loss event valid sample) is included in the data set. The sample size of the preliminary model is not less than 60 (covering t=0 to t=120 minutes, with a resolution of 1 minute), and the cumulative effective start-stop event sample size is not less than 5 times, so as to accurately capture the exponential decay characteristics and reduce random interference, and reduce the calibration error of the preliminary model.

[0123] At this time, the generator set auxiliary power consumption calculated value in the preliminary model is only composed of the start-stop transient term, and the fitting equation is:

[0124] ;

[0125] wherein, is the auxiliary power consumption under the start-stop transient event;

[0126] The start-stop transient coefficient fitting equation is substituted into the above loss function formula, and the start-stop transient coefficient is replaced with the loss function formula The loss function is converted into a function containing only , and the loss function is minimized by logarithmic linear regression, and is obtained. The specific process is:

[0127] ;

[0128] wherein, is the auxiliary power consumption model calculated value of the vth start-stop transient event effective sample, is the vth time point (unit: minute) after the start of the start-stop process.

[0129] The above fitting equation is substituted into the formula of the loss function . At this time, the loss function is converted into a function containing only :

[0130] ;

[0131] wherein, is the number of effective samples of the start-stop transient event;

[0132] is the measured value of the auxiliary power consumption of the photothermal power station generator set of the vth start-stop transient event effective sample.

[0133] After linearization of the nonlinear model by logarithmic conversion, the least square method is used to solve the optimal value of ln :

[0134] ;

[0135] can be solved: :

[0136] ​​

[0137] This process ensures Accurately reflects the exponential decay characteristics of start-stop losses over time.

[0138] (3) Cooling loss coefficient Calibration:

[0139] Filter the data set: Take the data from the period of high-temperature summer days when the circulating water temperature rises by more than 10°C, including the condenser terminal difference and the measured value of the generator set power consumption rate in the historical operation data of the generator set; the circulating water temperature rise is the largest in summer, and the cooling loss accounts for more than 30% of the power consumption rate (only 5%-10% in winter), so the data during this period can be captured more accurately. The data screening should ensure that the total effective sample size is not less than 2000 (covering 15 full days with circulating water temperature rise > 10℃ in summer high temperature days), and the data should be filtered according to the condenser end difference. In every 5℃ interval, the sample size of each interval is not less than 500 to ensure and The linear relationship fitting accuracy.

[0140] At this point, the calculated value of the generator set power consumption rate in the preliminary model is only composed of the cooling loss term, and the fitting equation is:

[0141] ;

[0142] in, is the power consumption rate of the CSP plant under cooling conditions, obtained from the historical operation data of the CSP plant;

[0143] Substitute the cooling loss coefficient fitting equation into the above loss function formula and use Replace the loss function formula Calculate and transform the loss function into By using the temperature difference bucket averaging method to minimize the loss function, we can get Specific process:

[0144] Substitute the above fitting equation into the loss function At this point, the loss function is transformed into a formula containing only Function:

[0145] ;

[0146] Among them, N cool is the number of effective samples of cooling loss events; is the condenser end difference of the effective sample of the sth cooling loss event; is the measured value of the power consumption rate of the CSP power station generator set of the sth effective sample of cooling loss event.

[0147] In order to minimize the loss function, the temperature difference bucket averaging method is adopted: the effective sample N of cooling loss events is cool According to the condenser end difference Divide into W intervals and calculate the average value of the condenser end difference in each interval (That is, all The arithmetic mean of the power consumption rate of the plant (That is, all At this time, the loss function of each interval can be simplified to the "measured mean and predicted value ( ) is calculated by making the sum of squared deviations of As close as possible , which can minimize the loss of this interval and thus minimize the loss function.

[0148] Final value:

[0149] ;

[0150] in, is the measured value of the power consumption rate of the generator set in the Wth interval; is the condenser terminal difference in the Wth interval, This process ensures that Accurately reflects the linear correlation between cooling loss and condenser end difference.

[0151] What you can get here , , Fixed values ​​for the three coefficients.

[0152] 3.3 Dynamic Self-calibration of Model Coefficients

[0153] Due to factors such as equipment aging (such as pump efficiency degradation) and long-term environmental changes (such as condenser scaling leading to decreased heat exchange efficiency), energy consumption characteristics will drift. After one year of operation, the calculation error will increase by 10%-15%, and long-term accuracy cannot be guaranteed. To solve the problem of accuracy drift caused by long-term fixed coefficients, a dynamic coefficient self-calibration mechanism is introduced into the three-component dynamic decomposition model, and the sliding window is used to iteratively calibrate the coefficients. , , The specific process is as follows:

[0154] (1) Fixed loss coefficient Self-calibration

[0155] Trigger condition: When the calculation error of the power consumption rate under steady-state conditions exceeds 5% for 3 consecutive days, or when the system has been running for 30 consecutive days, calibration; the steady-state working condition is and ;

[0157] Calibration method: through the "sliding window calibration" mechanism, the new fixed loss coefficient is recalculated based on the newly screened data, covering the historical fixed value, realizing dynamic calibration, dynamic optimization for the energy consumption characteristics drift caused by equipment aging and environmental changes, and adapting to the change of the fixed loss characteristics caused by equipment aging (such as the increase of the basic energy consumption of pumps). The formula of the new fixed loss coefficient obtained after self-calibration is:

[0158] ;

[0159] Among them, is the measured value of the power plant auxiliary power consumption rate of the jth sample, obtained through the information management system of the solar thermal power station;

[0160] is the generator output power (unit: MW) of the jth sample;

[0161] t(j) is the time of the jth sample (unit: h, value 0~24), used to calculate the daily period correction term;

[0162] is the daily period correction term, reflecting the periodic fluctuation of the fixed loss with the alternation of day and night;

[0163] V is the wind speed, which can be obtained through the weather station;

[0164] Precipitation working condition recognition standard: wind speed ≥ 10 m / s and hourly rainfall ≥ 5 mm, weather data can be obtained through the weather station of the solar thermal power station. By distinguishing the working condition type, the influence of extreme weather such as rainfall on the fixed loss can be corrected, so that both the long-term aging trend of the equipment and the short-term environmental mutation can be responded to, and the precision of the model under complex working conditions can be improved.

[0165] This step upgrades the fixed loss coefficient from a "static initial value" to a "dynamic tracking value" through improvements in four aspects: dynamic triggering, recent data, operating condition segmentation, and aging adaptation. This significantly improves the calculation accuracy of the coefficient throughout the equipment's life cycle, making it particularly suitable for complex scenarios such as equipment aging and environmental fluctuations during the long-term operation of solar thermal power stations.

[0166] (2) Start-stop transient coefficient Self-calibration

[0167] Trigger condition: When the conditions of 5 new complete start-stop events are met, Automatic calibration, the complete start and stop events are The process of changing from 1 to 0;

[0168] Data filtering: Select the last 5 start and stop processes Real-time data of the start and stop (the sample size is not less than 60 for each start and stop, covering t = 0 to t = 120 minutes); the data includes the measured value of the power consumption rate of the generator set; m is the start and stop transient coefficient The effective number of samples screened during calibration.

[0169] Calibration method: weighted fusion, recalculation based on new data , retain the three-component dynamic decomposition model calculated by the power consumption rate of the power generation unit 70% of the coefficient (used to smooth the sudden change in characteristics caused by equipment wear and improve calibration stability) and the newly calculated value 30% (used to quickly respond to changes in the recent start-stop characteristics of the equipment) are weighted and integrated to compensate for the transient energy consumption characteristics changes caused by wear of the equipment start-stop mechanism. The new start-stop transient coefficient obtained after self-calibration The formula is:

[0170] ;

[0171] in, This is the start-stop transient coefficient currently in use before the current calibration step. During the first calibration, its value is the start-stop transient coefficient calculated using the preliminary model of the three-component dynamic decomposition of the generator set's plant power consumption rate. During subsequent calibrations, its value is the coefficient obtained after the previous dynamic calibration. This allows for iterative calibration of the coefficient and preserves the transient energy consumption characteristics accumulated during long-term equipment operation. is the duration of the start-stop process corresponding to the g-th time point, in minutes.

[0172] This step upgrades the start-stop transient coefficient from a "static initial coefficient" to a "dynamic tracking coefficient" through three major improvements: event-driven triggering, recent data screening, and weighted fusion calculation. It effectively compensates for the transient energy consumption characteristic drift caused by wear of the equipment's start-stop mechanism, and significantly improves the calculation accuracy of the start-stop transient coefficient throughout its life cycle.

[0173] (3) Cooling loss coefficient Self-calibration

[0174] Trigger condition: When the summer high temperature period condition is met or at the end of each quarter, automatic calibration is carried out of the summer high temperature period is 7 consecutive days with an average temperature ≥ 30℃;

[0175] Data screening: Select the latest data of the summer high temperature day (circulating water temperature rise > 10℃) in the current quarter, and divide the interval according to The data includes the condenser terminal difference, the measured value of the generator set auxiliary power rate, the solar direct normal irradiance, and the PM 10 concentration.

[0176] Calibration method: Add an aging compensation term to the original calculation basis to correct the cooling system efficiency decay problem caused by condenser fouling and pipeline aging, and consider the impact of dust conditions on the condenser heat transfer surface. The formula of the new cooling loss coefficient after self-calibration is:

[0177] ;

[0178] Where, is the cooling loss coefficient being used before calibration at the current step: when calibrated for the first time, its value is the cooling loss coefficient calculated by the three-component dynamic decomposition preliminary model of the generator set auxiliary power rate; when calibrated subsequently, its value is the is the number of years since the power station was put into operation, which is incremented by 1 every full year since the first operation to quantify the impact of long-term aging of equipment on the cooling system.

[0179] Dust determination condition: 10-minute sudden drop of solar direct normal irradiance ≥ 50% and PM 10 ≥ 500 μg / m³, (dust causes condenser heat transfer efficiency to drop by 20%~30%) At this time, both equipment aging compensation and heat transfer efficiency drop compensation caused by dust need to be considered. While the conventional working condition only needs to consider equipment aging compensation. By distinguishing the working condition type, the fine dynamic calibration of the cooling loss coefficient is realized, which not only covers the gradual impact of long-term aging of equipment, but also responds to the short-term impact of sudden environmental factors such as dust, ensuring the calculation accuracy throughout the life cycle.

[0180] This step upgrades the cooling loss coefficient from "static initial coefficient" to "full life cycle dynamic coefficient" through three improvements of multi-dimensional triggering, recent data screening, and working condition subdivision compensation, effectively compensating for the cooling energy consumption characteristics drift caused by equipment aging, environmental mutations, etc., and significantly improving the calculation accuracy of the cooling loss coefficient under complex working conditions.
