Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automatic control technology, and in particular to a fuel control method for a coal mill of a pulverized coal furnace generator set. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the supply and demand relationship in the domestic power industry has undergone major changes, and the power supply is facing a shortage. Traditional thermal power plants have taken advantage of the opportunity of the recovery of the annual power generation rate of the units to increase power generation, but are faced with the dilemma of rising coal prices and shortages. Therefore, thermal power plants have tried their best to blend low-priced coal, and many areas mainly blend lignite.

[0003] Blended coal combustion is often not the designed operating condition for thermal power units, resulting in slow load regulation, impacting the grid's peak and frequency regulation, and drawing scrutiny from dispatching authorities. Analysis revealed that the primary damper regulating the pulverizers was largely open due to the high moisture content and impurities in the blended coal. This caused the original design, which relied on mill hot air volume to control the amount of pulverized coal entering the furnace, to lose control. Consequently, the coordinated control of the mill and boiler, which regulates the unit's load, failed to operate properly and reliably, severely impacting the unit's load regulation capabilities.

[0004] For example, patent (CN111142377B) discloses a fuel quantity feedforward control method for a coordinated control system taking into account the operating status of the coal mill, which includes: for all coal mills with automatic coal feeding, respectively selecting a representative value of the ratio of each coal mill current to the coal mill feeding amount, a representative value of the ratio of the primary air pressure to the coal mill feeding amount, and a representative value of the coal mill feeding amount; wherein, selecting a representative value of the ratio of each coal mill current to the coal mill feeding amount is specifically: selecting the representative value of the ratio of each coal mill current to the coal mill feeding amount The second largest value of the ratio of the primary air pressure to the coal feeding amount of each coal mill is selected as the representative value; the representative value of the ratio of the primary air pressure to the coal feeding amount of each coal mill is selected, specifically: the second largest value of the coal feeding amount of each coal mill is selected as the representative value; the inertia time of the actual differential control effect of the AGC instruction corresponding to each of the above representative values ​​on the fuel amount feedforward link is calculated respectively, and the maximum value among them is selected as the inertia time of the final actual differential link time; after obtaining the inertia time of the actual differential link, it also includes the following process: the inertia time of the pulverizing system is divided by the inertia time of the actual differential link and then subtracted from 1 to obtain an intermediate coefficient; the actual AGC command signal of the unit is divided by the value of the static gain of the fuel amount to the power generation power to obtain a static fuel amount feedforward signal; the static fuel amount feedforward signal is subtracted from the static fuel amount feedforward signal through the inertia time set as the signal output by the first-order inertia module of the differential link inertia time, and then multiplied by the intermediate coefficient to obtain a value plus the static fuel amount feedforward signal to obtain the AGC command feedforward signal of the fuel amount. The fuel amount feedforward control method of the coordinated control system taking into account the operating status of the coal mill of the present invention is particularly suitable for thermal power units with complex coal quality and frequent fluctuations in AGC commands. The control system can coordinate the contradiction between the control quality of the steam pressure before the turbine and the operating safety of the pulverizing system during the load change process, maximize the ultimate performance of the equipment, and ensure that the best control effect is obtained under the premise that the pulverizing system does not fail.

[0005] There is an urgent need to study a solution to the problem of the unit coordination control not being able to be put into normal use caused by co-firing, so as to meet the current higher requirements of deep peak regulation and rapid frequency regulation of thermal power units and absorb more new energy power generation construction status.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the fuel control method for a pulverized coal furnace generator set provided by the present invention, in step S3, the air volume deviation of each mill and the main pipe pressure are adjusted according to the total primary air volume control, and the steps are as follows: When the total primary air volume control is put into operation, the primary air volume control of each coal mill is cut off simultaneously; The operator shall fine-tune the air volume deviation of the corresponding mill through the hot air door of the mill; The operating personnel will fine-tune the main pipe pressure of the primary air through the hot air door of the corresponding mill.

[0020] As described in the background technology, there is an urgent need to study a method to solve the problem of the unit coordination control not being able to be put into normal use due to co-firing, so as to meet the current higher requirements of deep peak regulation and rapid frequency regulation of thermal power units and absorb more new energy power generation construction status.

[0021] In order to solve this technical problem, the present invention provides a fuel control method for a coal mill of a pulverized coal furnace generator set.

[0022] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 , the fuel control method, the steps are as follows: S1: Adjust the total air volume at the outlet of the primary fan; S2: Automatic instruction to calculate total primary air volume; S3: According to the total primary air volume control, adjust the air volume deviation of each mill and the main pipe pressure; S4: After the coal type of the unit is restored, the control of the hot air door of the primary fan and mill is restored.

[0026] Example 1 Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 , a fuel control method for a coal mill of a pulverized coal furnace generator set.

[0027] The pulverized coal furnace generator set uses a primary fan to control the total primary air volume entering the pulverizer to meet the total primary air volume instruction setting requirements, replacing the control failure of the pulverizer primary air volume control damper close to the fully open position caused by the blending of non-design coal types. The resulting large inertia and large delay characteristics of the unit's fuel control are significantly enhanced, affecting the unit's coordinated control and inability to be put into high-quality use.

[0028] The implementation steps are as follows: S1: Through the distribution control of the primary fan of the unit, the general PID module is used to realize the follow-up coal quantity instruction control of the total primary air volume of the pulverizer. The expression is: ; in, is the final set value of the total primary air volume, is the total primary air volume, It is the deviation input value of air volume PID; ; in, It is the total primary air volume automatic instruction.

The air volume deviation of each mill is fine-tuned by the operator through the hot air door of the mill, and the main pipe pressure of the primary air is also fine-tuned by the operator through the hot air door of each mill; S4: After the unit's coal type returns to the designed operating conditions, the hot air door control of the primary fan and mill can be restored to the original designed automatic control mode.

[0029] The specific working principle of the fuel control method for a pulverized coal furnace generator set provided by the present invention is as follows: When in use, firstly, through the distribution control of the primary air fan of the unit, the universal PID module is used to realize the follow-up coal volume instruction control of the total primary air volume of the coal mill, and the total primary air volume automatic instruction is calculated.
