Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power system simulation, and in particular to a device and method for simulating a turbine governor. Background Art

[0002] In power systems, turbine governors are core equipment for ensuring stable operation of turbine generators and precisely controlling power generation. They adjust the water inflow by adjusting the opening of the turbine guide vanes, adjusting turbine speed and output power in real time to match power system load fluctuations. Their performance directly impacts the dynamic response of the turbine generator, power quality, and the stability of the entire power system.

[0003] As power systems become increasingly complex, the shortcomings of traditional turbine governor models have become increasingly prominent. Simulation accuracy is limited, and they often employ linearization assumptions, ignoring nonlinear factors in turbine operation, such as complex water flow characteristics, mechanical friction, and clearances. This results in large deviations between simulation results and actual results under complex operating conditions. Furthermore, dynamic response is poor. When the power system experiences major disturbances (such as short-circuit faults or sudden load changes), the response speed is slow, and turbine operating parameters cannot be adjusted in a timely manner, resulting in long system recovery times and even instability. Traditional turbine governor models have fixed parameters, making them difficult to adapt to different turbines and the changing power system environment. Simulation results degrade significantly when operating conditions or system structure change.

[0004] Although improved models have been developed to account for nonlinear factors, their structures are complex and computationally intensive, making them unsuitable for real-time simulation and online applications. Some simulation devices are also incomplete and lack the ability to effectively record and analyze system operating data, making them unable to provide comprehensive support for power system optimization. Therefore, a more accurate, efficient, and practical turbine governor simulation device is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a turbine governor simulation device and method, which can effectively record and analyze system operation data and provide comprehensive support for power system optimization.

[0017] Among them, u(t) is the control output, K p is the proportionality coefficient, K i is the integral coefficient, K d is the differential coefficient, and e(t) is the deviation between the set value and the actual value.

[0018] Furthermore, the servo motor module is equipped with a position feedback device and a speed feedback device to provide real-time feedback of position and speed information.

[0019] Furthermore, the rotor speed derivative input module directly measures the rotor speed signal through a speed sensor, obtains the derivative of the generator rotor speed in the power system through signal processing, and then inputs it into the nonlinear turbine model module.

[0020] Furthermore, the nonlinear turbine model module, PID speed regulator module, servo motor module and rotor speed derivative input module are integrated into a package block, and the package block adopts a standardized electrical interface and communication protocol.

[0021] Furthermore, the turbine governor simulation device also includes a data recording and analysis module, which is configured to record the operating data of each module and perform statistics, trend analysis and fault diagnosis.

[0025] Executing turbine speed control instructions on the nonlinear turbine model through the servo motor module;
