Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In the hydrogen-containing fuel gas turbine power generation system, the compressor as a core component directly affects the stability and efficiency of the whole machine. In the prior art, the compressor has the following problems:
[0003] Insufficient stability: non-axisymmetric flow channel, inlet and outlet flow distortion, which easily leads to compressor instability and large pressure fluctuation;
[0004] Low efficiency: under small flow conditions, the proportion of tip clearance to blade height increases, which leads to significant increase in tip leakage loss, secondary flow loss and boundary layer loss, and it is difficult to balance efficiency and stability margin;
[0005] Poor adaptability: the low specific speed compressor is difficult to match the power demand of the hydrogen-containing fuel gas turbine power generation device (such as a 60kW level system) due to immature expansion stability and efficiency design technology under multiple working conditions.

The fuzzy logic algorithm is used to compare the fused operating parameters with the preset standard parameter range, and when the standard parameter range is exceeded, the optimization process is triggered.
[0116] 2. Optimization strategies for different problems
[0117] Stability Optimization: A model predictive control algorithm is employed to control an adaptive adjustment device that adjusts the angle or cross-sectional area of the guide vanes of the non-axisymmetric flow passage and the inlet and outlet ports. According to the real-time pressure fluctuations, the model predictive control algorithm can predict the trend of flow changes in the flow passage, thereby automatically adjusting the device parameters to reduce the impact of flow distortion on the stability of the compressor. At the same time, an active control technology based on neural networks is introduced. According to the real-time monitoring of the pressure fluctuation signal, the learning and prediction ability of the neural network is used to automatically adjust the control parameters of active vortex control or active airflow injection, further enhancing the stability of the compressor under unstable conditions.
[0118] Efficiency Optimization: In small flow conditions, a genetic algorithm is used in combination with an intelligent control system. The flow change is used as input, and the reduction of tip leakage loss, secondary flow loss, and boundary layer loss is used as target to dynamically adjust the tip clearance size. At the same time, a surface roughness optimization algorithm is used to treat the blade surface of the compressor with a special coating with low friction coefficient and good wear resistance, effectively reducing the boundary layer loss.
[0119] Adaptability Optimization: Based on the power demand of the power generation system, a multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to dynamically optimize the key design parameters of the compressor, such as blade shape, diffuser structure, and volute size. The algorithm considers multiple objectives such as efficiency, stability, and power matching to find the optimal combination of design parameters. An adjustable compressor structure based on adaptive control algorithm is developed, such as a variable geometry diffuser or a retractable volute, which can be adjusted adaptively to make the compressor better adapt to different power demand of the power generation system.
[0120] 3. Simulation verification and parameter adjustment

DETAILED EMBODIMENT
[0125] The optimization method of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0126] EMBODIMENT
[0127] In a 60kW level hydrogen-containing fuel gas turbine power generation system, the optimization method of the application is applied to optimize the low specific speed centrifugal compressor.
[0128] Data acquisition and fusion analysis
[0129] Distributed sensors are arranged at key positions such as the inlet and outlet of the compressor and the blade surface to monitor operating parameters such as flow rate, pressure ratio, efficiency, temperature, and pressure fluctuation in real time. Data is collected every second, and multi-source data is fused by a sensor fusion algorithm to obtain accurate operating data. Fuzzy logic algorithm is used to compare and analyze the fused operating data with the preset standard parameter range. For example, when the pressure fluctuation exceeds the normal range of ±5%, the optimization process is triggered.
[0130] Optimization strategies for different problems
[0131] Stability optimization
[0132] A model predictive control algorithm is used to control the adaptive adjustment device. The device is installed at the non-axisymmetric flow channel and the inlet and outlet, and includes adjustable guide vanes and variable cross-sectional area flow channels. Based on the real-time monitoring of pressure fluctuation, the model predictive control algorithm predicts the future trend of flow changes in the flow channel for a certain period of time, and adjusts the angle of the guide vane and the cross-sectional area of the flow channel in advance to reduce flow distortion. At the same time, based on the neural network active control technology, the pressure fluctuation signal is monitored in real time, and through the learning and prediction ability of the neural network, the vortex intensity of the active vortex control device and the injection direction and flow of the active airflow injection device are automatically adjusted to enhance the stability of the compressor under unstable conditions.
[0133] Efficiency optimization
[0134] In the small flow condition (flow rate less than 30% of the rated flow rate), the genetic algorithm is started in combination with the intelligent control system. The flow rate change is used as the input, and the reduction of tip leakage loss, secondary flow loss, and boundary layer loss is used as the target to dynamically adjust the tip clearance size. At the same time, the blade surface of the compressor is treated with a special coating, which uses nanomaterials and has low friction coefficient and good wear resistance. Through the surface roughness optimization algorithm, the uniformity and roughness of the coating are ensured to meet the design requirements, effectively reducing the boundary layer loss.
[0135] Adaptability optimization
[0136] Based on the power demand of the power generation system, a multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to dynamically optimize the key design parameters of the compressor, such as the shape of the blades, the structure of the diffuser, and the size of the volute. During the optimization process, multiple objectives such as efficiency, stability, and power matching are considered. For example, when the power demand of the power generation system decreases to 40kW, the multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm adjusts the bending angle of the blades and the expansion angle of the diffuser to improve the efficiency and stability of the compressor under low-power working conditions. At the same time, an adjustable compressor structure based on an adaptive control algorithm is developed, such as a variable-geometry diffuser and a telescopic volute. When the power demand of the power generation system changes, the adaptive control algorithm automatically adjusts the geometry of the diffuser and the telescopic length of the volute, enabling the compressor to better adapt to different power demands.
[0137] Simulation verification and parameter adjustment
[0138] CFD software such as ANSYS Fluent is used to simulate and analyze the optimized compressor model. During the simulation process, the influence of the asymmetric flow channel of the volute and the flow distortion of the inlet and outlet is considered, and the internal flow field distribution, pressure change, and airflow separation of the compressor under different working conditions are comprehensively analyzed. Data-driven uncertainty quantification algorithms are used to evaluate the uncertainty of the simulation results, such as calculating the confidence interval of the simulation results through the Monte Carlo simulation method. Reinforcement learning algorithms are used to automatically adjust the optimization parameters based on the simulation results and uncertainty evaluation. If the simulation results show that the efficiency of the compressor does not meet the expected target, the parameters such as blade shape and tip clearance are fine-tuned, and the simulation is performed again until the performance of the compressor is significantly improved.
[0139] Establishment of performance database and knowledge mining
[0140] A compressor performance database is established to record the operating parameters, optimization strategies, and simulation results before and after each optimization. Knowledge graph algorithms are used to associate and analyze the data in the database to mine potential optimization directions and rules. For example, through knowledge graph analysis, it is found that adjusting the blade sweep angle can significantly improve the efficiency of the compressor under certain specific flow and pressure working conditions. These knowledge provides an important reference for subsequent optimization.

[0143] Optimize the efficiency of the whole operating condition, and consider the performance of small flow condition The high-strength alloy integral milling of impeller and blade assembly, the design of blade angle, and the gradually expanding structure of meridian flow channel reduce the basic flow loss; The optimization method reduces the tip leakage, secondary flow and boundary layer loss under small flow condition through the joint representation of efficiency and flow and the second rule set (genetic algorithm dynamically adjusts the tip clearance + surface optimization), solves the pain point that the traditional compressor cannot balance the efficiency and stability margin, and improves the efficiency of the whole operating condition, especially under small flow condition.
[0144] Enhance the adaptability of multiple operating conditions, and match the power demand of hydrogen-containing power generation system The adjustable structure (guide vane angle, radial gap) of the adaptive processing casing and the coaxial design of the meridian flow channel provide a hardware basis for wide operating condition adaptation; The optimization method realizes the accurate matching of the compressor to the variable power demand of the hydrogen-containing fuel gas turbine power generation system (such as 60kW level) through the three-dimensional adaptability evaluation space (power demand - efficiency - surge margin) and the third rule set (multi-objective optimization + reinforcement learning), solves the problem of immature multi-condition stability expansion and efficiency improvement technology of low specific speed compressors, and significantly improves the power response speed and adaptation accuracy.
[0145] Build an intelligent closed-loop optimization system to improve system reliability and economy The device and method are coordinated, multi-parameter accurate monitoring is realized through sensor fusion algorithm, fuzzy logic judgment, CFD simulation verification and knowledge graph mining are combined to form a closed-loop mechanism of "monitoring - judgment - regulation - feedback". This system can automatically adapt to the complex operating conditions of hydrogen-containing fuel gas turbine power generation system, reduce manual intervention and maintenance cost, and through continuous optimization iteration, ensure the long-term efficient and stable operation of the compressor, and provide core technical support for the large-scale application of hydrogen-containing fuel power generation system.
