Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of temperature control in indirect air-cooled power plants, and more specifically, to a temperature control system for indirect air-cooled power plants and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] Indirect air cooling uses air to cool circulating water, which in turn cools the exhaust steam from the turbine. It is suitable for areas with scarce water resources or high ambient temperatures. Traditional indirect air cooling systems mainly rely on air-cooled radiators, fans, etc. for cooling, and adjust the temperature through fixed spray or natural ventilation. It is difficult to dynamically adjust the cooling intensity according to environmental changes, resulting in low cooling efficiency.
[0003] For example, the Chinese invention patent (application number: 202111675345.3) discloses "An Indirect Air-Cooling System for an Ammonia-Blended Power Plant and Its Control Method," which specifies that: The system monitors the power plant's operating data and determines whether to adjust the system based on the temperature difference between the outlet water temperature of the indirect cooling tower and the liquid ammonia vaporization heat exchanger. If adjustment is needed, the circulating water flow rate of the indirect cooling tower is adjusted, and the adjusted temperature difference is calculated. If the temperature difference is less than a first preset temperature, the opening of the indirect cooling tower louvers is reduced or the total circulating water flow rate of the air-cooling system is increased. If the temperature difference is greater than a second preset temperature, the opening of the indirect cooling tower louvers is increased, the total circulating water flow rate of the air-cooling system is reduced, or the unit load is reduced, and then monitoring continues. If the temperature difference is between the first and second preset temperatures, it indicates that the air-cooling system is in optimal operating condition, and monitoring returns to normal. This invention proposes using the temperature difference between the outlet water temperature of the indirect cooling tower and the liquid ammonia vaporization heat exchanger as a standard, and determining different adjustment schemes based on preset conditions, which can effectively improve the cooling effect of the indirect cooling tower. The aforementioned patent can corroborate the deficiencies of the existing technology.
[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed an indirect air-cooled power plant temperature control system and its usage method. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: In the solution of the present application: 1. By setting up a dynamic environment prediction module, the system combines the sliding window method and the ARIMA model to predict the changes in ambient temperature and back pressure in the next hour, and dynamically adjusts the cooling demand level according to the prediction results, which solves the problem that existing indirect air-cooled systems are difficult to dynamically adjust the cooling intensity according to environmental changes. 2.

By setting up a backwind compensation unit, the system can dynamically adjust the nozzle angle and increase the spray volume by 20% when the wind speed is >10m / s, ensuring that the spray covers the high-temperature area and solving the problem of large back pressure fluctuation in the existing technology under strong wind weather; 6. By setting up a resource optimization unit, the system is forced to operate under a "low demand" strategy when the water tank level is less than 30%; when the total energy consumption exceeds the system budget, the spray area is downgraded according to priority, thus solving the problem of serious resource waste in traditional systems in the existing technology.

[0021] Example 1 Please refer to Figure 1 An indirect air-cooled power plant temperature control system, comprising: The environmental prediction module collects environmental data in real time and predicts future temperature and back pressure changes, providing a basis for the cooling demand classification of the spray control module and ensuring the accurate execution of the spray strategy. The spray control module adjusts the spray intensity, area, and frequency according to the cooling demand level and resource constraints to ensure the cooling effect. The back pressure management module monitors the unit's back pressure in real time and adjusts the cooling strategy to ensure that the back pressure fluctuates within a safe range. The self-learning optimization module continuously optimizes the environment prediction module and cooling strategy based on historical operating data, thereby improving the overall system performance.
[0022] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the environmental prediction module includes: The data acquisition unit monitors temperature changes in multiple areas in real time, calculates the current ambient temperature by combining historical temperature trends, analyzes airflow patterns, calculates wind speed and direction by combining temperature differences and pressure changes in adjacent areas, dynamically calculates ambient humidity based on the relationship between current temperature and water vapor content in the air, and updates temperature, wind speed, and humidity data every 1 to 5 seconds to ensure real-time information.

Furthermore, it monitors grid frequency fluctuations in real time, dynamically estimates current load demand by combining unit output, and updates back pressure, exhaust temperature, and load power data every 1 to 5 seconds. The prediction model unit uses a sliding window method (window size 60 minutes) to predict the temperature for the next hour using the ARIMA model, establishing a quadratic equation. Dynamic calibration coefficients (updated every 24 hours); ARIMA (Autoregressive Integral Moving Average) is a time series forecasting method consisting of three parts: Autoregressive (AR): Using historical temperature data to build a linear regression model, for example ; Difference (I): Difference processing (e.g., first-order difference) of non-stationary temperature sequences. Eliminate trends; Moving average (MA): A model optimized by incorporating historical prediction errors, for example... ; Prediction steps: Data preprocessing: Stationarity test and differencing of historical temperature data; Parameter selection: The optimal AR order (p), difference order (d), and MA order (q) are determined by the AIC criterion. Model training: The least squares method is used to fit historical data to generate prediction equations; Real-time forecast: Model parameters are updated every 15 minutes, providing rolling forecasts of temperature for the next hour; For example, if the current temperature sequence is [25℃, 26℃, 27℃, 28℃], after differencing, a stationary sequence [1℃, 1℃, 1℃] is obtained. The ARIMA(1,1,1) model can predict that the temperature at the next moment will be 29℃.

[0024] Further, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the spray control module includes: Spray intensity unit, which linearly distributes the spray volume according to the demand level (Low: 0 L / min, Medium: 30 L / min, High: 50 L / min); Area priority unit, which obtains high-temperature area data (threshold: > 40°C), sorts according to the evaporation potential and preferentially sprays areas with high E values; Upwind compensation unit, when the wind speed > 10 m / s, the nozzle angle is adjusted to , and the spray volume is increased by 20% (for example: 50 L / min → 60 L / min); Resource optimization unit, when the water tank level < 30%, it is forced to operate according to the "low demand" strategy, and the spraying in non-critical areas is shut down. The spray pump power is bound to the flow rate ( ), and when the total energy consumption > the system budget, the spraying areas are downgraded according to the priority.
[0025] Further, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the back pressure management module includes: Back pressure monitoring unit, which monitors the back pressure of the unit in real time, compares it with the preset safety threshold (such as 40 kPa), and when the back pressure reaches 38 kPa, immediately switches to the high demand strategy and starts emergency spraying (extra + 20 L / min); Emergency response unit, primary response (P ≥ 38 kPa): Immediately switch to the high demand strategy and start emergency spraying (extra + 20 L / min); secondary response (ΔP / Δt ≥ 1 kPa / min): Activate the standby cold water circulation (inject pre-stored cold water into the heat dissipation area); High wind response unit, short-term high wind (wind speed > 15 m / s and duration < 30 minutes): Upwind spraying + spray volume increased by 20%; continuous high wind (wind speed > 15 m / s and duration ≥ 30 minutes): Activate the standby cooling tower.
[0026] Embodiment 2 The temperature control system of the indirect air-cooled power plant provided in Embodiment 1 is further optimized.

When water resources are tense, prioritize water conservation ( weight increases); when the energy consumption approaches the upper limit, prioritize energy conservation ( weight increases).
[0027] Example 3 Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , a usage method of a temperature control system for an indirect air-cooled power plant, which includes the following steps: I.

[0028] II. Spray control and cooling demand classification: According to the predicted temperature and back pressure data, classify the cooling demand into three levels: low, medium, and high: low demand (T ≤ 25°C and P ≤ 30 kPa): only start natural ventilation; medium demand (25°C < T ≤ 35°C and 30 kPa < P ≤ 40 kPa): start regional priority spraying; high demand (T > 35°C or P > 40 kPa): full-power spraying + reverse wind compensation.

[0030] Acquire high-temperature region data (threshold: >40℃), categorized by evaporation potential. Sort the areas and prioritize spraying areas with high E values.
[0031] When the wind speed is >10m / s, the nozzle angle is adjusted to The spray volume is increased by 20% (e.g., 50L / min → 60L / min).
[0032] When the water level in the tank is less than 30%, the system will be forced to operate under a "low demand" strategy and the spraying of non-critical areas will be turned off.
[0033] Spray pump power is tied to flow rate ( When total energy consumption exceeds system budget, spray areas are downgraded according to priority.
[0034] III. Back Pressure Management and Emergency Response: Monitor the unit back pressure in real time and compare it with a preset safety threshold (e.g., 40 kPa). When the back pressure reaches 38 kPa, immediately switch to a high-demand strategy and activate emergency spray (additional +20 L / min). When the back pressure change rate (ΔP / Δt ≥ 1 kPa / min): activate the backup chilled water circulation (pre-stored chilled water is injected into the heat dissipation area).

[0036] When the wind speed is >15m / s and lasts for ≥30 minutes, the backup cooling tower will be activated.
[0037] IV. Self-learning and optimization: The temperature-backpressure equation is refitted every 24 hours. If the prediction error is greater than 5% for three consecutive times, the manual calibration mode is triggered.

Sort the spraying and prioritize areas with high E values; When the wind speed is >10m / s, the nozzle angle is adjusted to The spray volume increased by 20%; When the water tank level is less than 30%, the system will be forced to operate under a "low demand" strategy and will shut down spraying in non-critical areas; the spray pump power is tied to the flow rate. When total energy consumption exceeds system budget, spray areas are downgraded according to priority.
10. The method of using an indirect air-cooled power plant temperature control system according to claim 9, characterized in that, It also includes the following steps: Real-time monitor the unit back pressure, and compare it with the preset safety threshold (such as 40 kPa); when the back pressure reaches 38 kPa, immediately switch to the high-demand strategy and start emergency spraying (extra + 20 L / min); when the back pressure change rate (ΔP / Δt ≥ 1 kPa / min), activate the standby cold water circulation (inject pre-stored cold water into the heat dissipation area); When the wind speed > 15 m / s and lasts < 30 minutes, upwind injection + 20% increase in spray volume; when the wind speed > 15 m / s and lasts ≥ 30 minutes, activate the standby cooling tower; refit the temperature-back pressure equation every 24 hours, if the prediction error > 5% for 3 consecutive times, trigger the manual calibration mode; dynamically play a game among water conservation (Player A), energy conservation (Player B), and cooling effect (Player C) to solve the optimal strategy: Among them, weight Adjustments are made dynamically based on real-time demand.
