TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of steam turbine performance monitoring and optimization, and in particular to a method and system for online calculation of low-pressure cylinder efficiency of a steam turbine. BACKGROUND
[0002] As the core equipment of thermal power plants, the operating efficiency of steam turbines is directly related to the economic benefits and energy utilization level of power plants. Among all the components of a steam turbine, the low-pressure cylinder is the last stage of energy conversion, and its efficiency has a significant impact on the thermal economy of the entire machine. However, since the exhaust steam of the low-pressure cylinder is usually in a wet steam state, traditional measurement methods cannot accurately obtain the thermodynamic parameters of the exhaust steam, especially the enthalpy and dryness. This makes it difficult to directly calculate and evaluate the efficiency of the low-pressure cylinder through online monitoring methods.
[0003] Currently, the accurate value of the low-pressure cylinder efficiency is mainly obtained through performance tests. Performance tests require specific operating conditions, involve complex testing equipment and strict test conditions, are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and can only reflect the state of the equipment at the time of the test, which cannot meet the real-time monitoring needs of the low-pressure cylinder efficiency. In addition, the enthalpy of the low-pressure cylinder exhaust steam needs to be calculated indirectly during the test process, which is complex and has limited accuracy, and cannot meet the demand for high-precision and real-time data in modern power plants.
[0004] On the other hand, a running steam turbine unit provides a large amount of real-time data, but due to the lack of accurate measurement methods for the dryness of the low-pressure cylinder exhaust steam, these data cannot be directly used to calculate the efficiency of the low-pressure cylinder. In particular, the difficulty in measuring wet steam parameters is the main obstacle to the online calculation of low-pressure cylinder efficiency.
[0005] To address the above problems, some research attempts to estimate the efficiency of the low-pressure cylinder through thermodynamic models and numerical simulation methods, but these methods usually require a large amount of computing resources and have high requirements for the accuracy of the model and the quality of the operating data, making it difficult to be widely applied in actual production. At the same time, these methods often ignore environmental factors such as the influence of back pressure on the efficiency of the low-pressure cylinder, resulting in deviations in the calculation results.
