[0033] In one embodiment, an optimal operating point is determined in real time based on a power generation efficiency curve. The operating point refers to the operating state of a Francis turbine under specific flow, head, speed, and other conditions. The optimal operating point is the state in which the Francis turbine achieves the highest power generation efficiency and most stable operation under these conditions. The optimal operating point is determined based on the above definition using existing methods.

[0034] In one embodiment, determining the optimal operating point in real time based on the power generation efficiency curve includes: Identify the operating points corresponding to each power generation efficiency based on the power generation efficiency curve, mark them as calibration operating points, perform calibration analysis on the calibration operating points, and mark the achievable calibration operating points as preliminary operating points; identify the highest power generation efficiency among the preliminary operating points, and mark the preliminary operating point corresponding to the highest power generation efficiency as the candidate operating point; Screen the operating points to be selected and obtain the best operating point.

[0039] In one embodiment, the operating points to be selected are screened, mainly based on screening factors such as operating stability, maintenance cost, and control adjustment time, to determine the optimal operating point. For example, weight coefficients of various screening factors are preset, and features are extracted based on the screening factors. Then, priorities are determined based on the weight coefficients of the screening factors, and the optimal operating point is determined based on the priorities.

[0040] In one embodiment, the operating points to be selected may be screened and analyzed based on other existing screening methods to determine the optimal operating point.

[0041] In one embodiment, when the working environment of the Francis turbine has conditions for adjusting the water flow rate, water head, etc., the environmental adjustment items are determined according to the actual situation and set according to the adjustable water head, etc.; intelligent analysis technology can also be used to recommend to the user whether the corresponding environmental adjustment items can be applied in the actual environment and the best implementation method, thereby improving the working environment of the Francis turbine and achieving the adjustment of some or all environmental influencing factors; specifically: Determine the environmental adjustment item, perform real-time monitoring based on the environmental adjustment item, and obtain environmental adjustment data; determine the environmental adjustment interval data based on the environmental adjustment data, that is, use the control range of the environmental adjustment item to determine the adjustment range of the environmental adjustment data, and then determine the environmental adjustment interval data; determine the optimal operating point based on the environmental adjustment interval data and the power generation efficiency curve, that is, the difference from the above embodiment is that the environmental adjustment item can be changed to achieve higher power generation efficiency.

[0042] The control module is used to perform control adjustments according to received control instructions.

[0043] The abnormality monitoring module is used to perform abnormality early warning analysis based on the power generation efficiency curve, obtain the adjustment record of the power generation efficiency curve in real time, that is, the change adjustment record of the power generation efficiency corresponding to each operating point, classify the adjustment record according to the operating point, and obtain the operating efficiency record of the corresponding operating point; generate the efficiency change curve of the corresponding operating point based on the operating efficiency record, that is, generate the efficiency curve based on the change value of the power generation efficiency, and compare and calculate it based on the standard power generation curve; the horizontal axis of the efficiency change curve is time, and the vertical axis is the efficiency change value; Conduct early warning analysis based on the efficiency change curve of each operating point to obtain corresponding early warning analysis results, and perform corresponding early warning processing based on the early warning analysis results, such as issuing early warnings to management personnel, emergency processing, etc.

[0044] In one embodiment, a warning analysis is performed based on the efficiency change curves of each operating point, mainly based on the changes in the slope of each efficiency change curve at the same time, the size of the efficiency change value, etc. The efficiency change curve can be used for warning analysis in combination with existing methods; for example, an intelligent warning model is established based on a deep learning algorithm, and a corresponding training set is established manually for training. The training set includes input data and output data, the input data is the efficiency change curve of each operating point, and the output data is the corresponding warning analysis result; and analysis is performed using the intelligent warning model after successful training.

[0045] In one embodiment, early warning analysis is performed based on the efficiency change curves of each operating point, including: Fit the efficiency change curve to obtain the efficiency change function, which is marked as HY(t), where t is time; Establish an efficiency early warning model. The expression of the efficiency early warning model is: ; Where: [HY(t)] is the input data, X1 and X2 are thresholds, which are set according to the user's requirements for slope change and cumulative difference, respectively. Generally, a threshold X2 and X2 that meet the user's requirements can be selected through multiple simulations; kt represents the slope of the efficiency change function over time; the output data is the efficiency warning value QS[HY(t)], which is 1, 2, or 0; The efficiency change function is analyzed through the efficiency warning model to obtain the corresponding efficiency warning value; the warning analysis result is determined according to the efficiency warning value. The efficiency warning value corresponds to different results, and the corresponding treatment measures can be preset for processing.

[0046] The start-stop management module is used to optimize the start-stop management of the Francis turbine and obtain the start-stop records of the Francis turbine in real time. The start-stop records include relevant data such as start-stop time, start-stop reasons, and number of times. For example, there are many reasons such as changes in grid demand, equipment failure, protection mechanism, and operating environment. For example, with the introduction of intermittent energy such as wind energy and solar energy, the power supply in the grid has become more unstable. When the grid load decreases, the turbine may need to reduce its output or even shut down; and when the load increases, it is necessary to start or increase the output of the turbine.

[0047] Identify the start and stop reasons in the start and stop records, and divide the start and stop reasons into two categories according to whether the start and stop times can be reduced by controlling and managing the Francis turbine, marked as management category and adjustment category; the management category refers to reducing the start and stop times by controlling the operation of the Francis turbine, such as power grid demand, equipment temperature and other reasons. The start and stop times can be avoided or delayed by controlling and adjusting the Francis turbine in advance, thereby reducing the start and stop times; the adjustment category refers to the reasons that cannot be reduced by managing the Francis turbine, and additional adjustments to equipment components are required before the start and stop times can be reduced through management and control, such as interruption of flow, deterioration of water quality, excessively high ambient temperature, equipment failure and other reasons; that is, according to the adjustments of the adjustment category, the start and stop reasons within the management category will be increased, so the management category and adjustment category formed according to the start and stop records are in dynamic update; A corresponding optimization management method is set for the start and stop reasons corresponding to the management class, and the Francis turbine is managed according to the optimization management method.

[0048] In one embodiment, the start and stop reasons are divided into management and adjustment categories, and can be classified according to the above definition using existing methods, such as using intelligent algorithms such as deep learning algorithms to perform intelligent classification using intelligent models, and then manually confirming to ensure classification accuracy; and because the number of start and stop reasons is small and well known to professionals, they can also be directly classified manually.

[0049] In one embodiment, for the start and stop reasons corresponding to the adjustment category, the available improvement plans can be intelligently analyzed and evaluated and screened based on the user's improvement requirements, such as improvement cost requirements, and improvements can be made according to the screened improvement plans.

[0050] In one embodiment, a corresponding optimization management method is set for the start and stop reasons corresponding to the management class, and an experimental simulation model that can simulate the operation of a mixed flow turbine can be established based on technologies such as digital twins; various ways to reduce the number of start and stop times corresponding to the corresponding start and stop reasons are analyzed. For example, for the main part of the grid demand reasons, the operation of the mixed flow turbine can be pre-adjusted by predicting the grid demand, and it can also be optimized and adjusted in combination with the energy storage system. There are multiple feasible ways to overcome a specific start and stop reason; the historical operating condition data of the mixed flow turbine is obtained, mainly including relevant data on the historical start and stop of the start and stop reason; the determined method is simulated through the experimental simulation model and the historical operation adjustment data to determine the simulated start and stop times, and the method with the highest priority that can be applied is determined by performing cyclic simulation and comparing the start and stop times, and marked as the optimization management method.

[0051] In one embodiment, a corresponding optimized management method is set for the start and stop reasons corresponding to the management class. With the development of technology, multiple methods can be applied to implement the optimized management method for determining the corresponding start and stop reasons.

[0052] By setting up a start-stop management module, the number of starts and stops of the Francis turbine can be intelligently reduced, the stability of the Francis turbine can be improved, and the service life can be extended while improving the economic benefits of the hydropower station.
