[0002] Indirect air-cooled units, as key thermodynamic cycle equipment in thermal and nuclear power systems, are widely used in arid and water-limited areas. The operating efficiency of their cold-end systems directly affects the overall economy and safety of the unit. With the optimization of energy structure and the increasing demands for environmental protection, indirect air-cooling technology has been widely applied in large generator sets. Monitoring and control of the cold-end temperature field has become a core technology for ensuring stable operation under low loads in winter.

Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.
[0045] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, outlines a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for controlling the cold end temperature according to embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0046] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method for controlling cold junction temperature provided in an embodiment of this disclosure.
[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0048] Step 101: Obtain temperature data and external environmental parameters of the cold end;
[0049] The temperature data at the cold end mainly includes the temperature of the heat dissipation tube bundle on the windward side of the cooling triangle and the temperature of the return water in the cooling triangle. Specifically, to obtain this temperature data, digital temperature sensors can be installed on the surface of the heat dissipation tube bundle on the windward side within the cooling triangle of the air-cooled system. These sensors can directly contact the surface of the heat dissipation tube bundle, sensing and collecting the temperature information of the heat dissipation tube bundle in real time. At the same time, corresponding temperature sensors are also installed on the return water pipes of the cooling triangle to monitor the temperature of the return water in real time, thereby comprehensively obtaining the temperature conditions of each key component at the cold end. Here, the "cold end" refers to the core area in the indirect air-cooled unit that participates in the circulating water cooling process, encompassing the cooling triangle and its internal heat dissipation tube bundle, return water pipe, and other key components. The "cooling triangle" is an important cooling unit in the air-cooled system, composed of heat dissipation tube bundles, return water pipes, etc., and its temperature status directly affects the cooling efficiency and safe operation of the unit. In addition, obtaining external environmental parameters is equally important. These parameters mainly include the wind speed at the louvers of the indirect cooling tower and the temperature and humidity of the surrounding environment. To accurately acquire these parameters, environmental monitoring devices such as wind speed sensors and temperature and humidity sensors can be installed near the louvers of the indirect cooling tower. Wind speed sensors can measure the airflow velocity at the louvers in real time, while temperature and humidity sensors can simultaneously collect ambient air temperature and humidity information. These external environmental parameters are of significant reference value for subsequent temperature field-based optimization control, as environmental factors directly affect the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat sink bundle, thus influencing the temperature state of the cold end. Through the coordinated operation of these sensors and monitoring devices, temperature data and external environmental parameters at the cold end can be continuously and stably collected, providing reliable raw information for subsequent data processing and optimization control.
[0050] Step 102: Based on the temperature data and external environmental parameters, perform temperature field analysis and generate antifreeze protection instructions and back pressure optimization suggestions;
[0051] Temperature field analysis refers to combining acquired cold-end temperature data such as the temperature of the cooling triangle's air-facing heat dissipation tube bundle and the temperature of the cooling triangle's return water, as well as external environmental parameters such as the wind speed of the indirect cooling tower louvers and ambient temperature and humidity, to construct a cold-end temperature distribution model through data processing. This allows for a comprehensive understanding of the temperature status of each area of the cold end, including temperature differences between different cooling triangles, temperature gradients of the heat dissipation tube bundle, and the location and trend of local low-temperature points. Here, "temperature field" refers to the spatial distribution of temperature in various parts of the cold end, and its distribution characteristics directly reflect the cooling efficiency and potential risks of the air-cooled system. Based on temperature field analysis, the antifreeze protection command is mainly generated to address the freezing risk that may occur during low-load operation in winter. When the analysis finds that the temperature of the heat dissipation tube bundle is too low, there is a local overcooling trend (for example, the load reduction rate reaches a certain set value, causing the temperature of the heat dissipation tube bundle to drop rapidly as the load decreases), or individual cooling triangles have abnormally low temperatures due to uneven water distribution, the system will generate corresponding antifreeze protection commands according to the specific state of the temperature field. For example, by increasing the back pressure control command to raise the temperature of the heat dissipation tube bundle, the system can avoid freezing caused by water stagnation or low flow rate. Alternatively, the system can adjust the opening of the louvers in a specific sector to regulate the heat dissipation efficiency of that area and prevent local freezing. The back pressure optimization suggestion is generated by combining the temperature field analysis results with the unit load changes. Under the premise of ensuring that the unit does not freeze, it comprehensively considers the balance between the power consumption of the circulating water pump and the output of the unit. By analyzing the influence of temperature data and external environmental parameters on back pressure (back pressure is the exhaust pressure of the steam turbine, which affects the unit efficiency; too high a pressure will reduce output, while too low a pressure may cause freezing), the back pressure value that optimizes the unit's operating economy is calculated, forming a back pressure optimization suggestion. This suggestion can be used to guide the frequency conversion regulation of the circulating water pump or the control of the louver opening. If it is put into closed-loop control, it can also be directly used as a control parameter to achieve precise adjustment of the cold end, thereby improving the economic efficiency of the unit's operation while ensuring safety.
[0052] Step 103: Send the antifreeze protection command and back pressure optimization suggestion to the control system, and dynamically adjust the frequency of the circulating water pump and the opening of the louvers according to the changes in unit load.
[0053] The control system refers to the DCS control system, which serves as the core control hub for unit operation. It receives and processes various control commands, thereby driving the actuators to move. Specifically, the transmission of commands and suggestions can be achieved through the communication link between the temperature field monitoring backend server and the DCS system. For example, it can be transmitted via the server's serial port (to RS-485) through the DCS communication management unit, or via the server's dual serial ports (to RS-485) connecting two redundant DCS communication cards. The transmission process follows the MODBUS-RTU standard protocol to ensure the stability and reliability of data transmission, enabling the DCS system to accurately obtain the specific content of the anti-freeze protection commands and back pressure optimization suggestions.
[0054] After the commands and suggestions are received by the DCS control system, the system dynamically adjusts the frequency of the circulating water pump and the opening of the louvers according to the real-time changes in the unit load. The adjustment of the "circulating water pump frequency" is achieved through frequency conversion control, which changes the operating frequency of the pump motor to adjust the pump speed, thereby changing the flow rate and volume of the circulating water. When the unit load decreases, if the anti-freeze protection command requires an increase in back pressure, the frequency of the circulating water pump can be appropriately reduced to decrease the flow rate of the circulating water and avoid local freezing caused by excessively low flow rate. When the back pressure optimization suggestion is aimed at improving economy, the frequency can be increased or decreased as needed to balance the power consumption of the pump and the output of the unit. The adjustment of the "louver opening" controls the airflow and velocity into the cooling triangle by changing the opening angle of the louver blades. When the unit load is stable, the opening of a single sector of the louver is adjusted in combination with the surface temperature of the radiator to ensure uniform heat dissipation in the area and prevent local overcooling. When the load fluctuates, it works in conjunction with the frequency adjustment of the circulating water pump to match the heat dissipation demand of the circulating water by adjusting the airflow, thereby stabilizing the unit back pressure.
[0055] This dynamic adjustment mechanism enables the circulating water pump frequency and louver opening to always adapt to changes in unit load. It avoids the risk of freezing during winter operation through antifreeze protection commands, and achieves precise control of unit back pressure under the premise of safety by relying on back pressure optimization suggestions, ultimately improving the safety and economy of indirect air-cooled unit operation.
[0056] In some embodiments, acquiring the temperature data of the cold end and external environmental parameters includes:
[0057] The surface temperature and return water temperature of the cold end are collected through a distributed temperature sensor network, and at least one of the following is obtained: louver opening, wind speed, air inlet temperature and humidity.
[0058] The distributed temperature sensor network consists of multiple digital temperature sensors deployed within the cooling triangle of the air-cooled system. These sensors are installed according to a specific distribution pattern. Specifically, temperature sensors are evenly arranged on the surface of the heat dissipation tube bundle on the windward side of the cooling triangle to collect the surface temperature of the heat dissipation tube bundle in real time. This temperature directly reflects the heat dissipation status of the heat dissipation tube bundle and whether there is a risk of local overcooling. At the same time, temperature sensors are also installed on the return water pipes of the cooling triangle to collect the return water temperature. Changes in the return water temperature can reflect the cooling effect and water distribution of the circulating water within the cooling triangle. Through this distributed arrangement, the sensor network can work collaboratively to comprehensively and accurately acquire temperature data at the cold end, avoiding the limitations of single-point measurement.
[0059] In acquiring external environmental parameters, at least one of the following is crucial: louver opening degree, wind speed, inlet air temperature, and humidity. Louver opening degree reflects the open state of the louvers and can be directly collected by the louver's built-in opening sensor; its size affects the amount of air entering the cooling triangle. Wind speed is measured by a wind speed sensor installed near the louvers of the indirect cooling tower, reflecting the airflow velocity through the louvers; wind speed directly affects the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat sink bundle. Inlet air temperature and humidity are collected by temperature and humidity sensors deployed in the inlet area of the indirect cooling tower. Inlet air temperature refers to the temperature of the air entering the air-cooled system, and humidity refers to the corresponding degree of air moisture; both together affect the air's heat dissipation capacity. By collecting these external environmental parameters from the sensors and combining them with cold-end temperature data obtained from a distributed temperature sensor network, comprehensive and reliable basic data support can be provided for subsequent temperature field analysis and optimized control.
[0060] In some embodiments, the step of performing temperature field analysis based on the temperature data and external environmental parameters and generating antifreeze protection commands and back pressure optimization suggestions includes:
[0061] Antifreeze protection commands are generated based on electronic map display of radiator surface temperature distribution, historical data comparison and analysis, and real-time alarm processing of abnormal temperature points.
[0062] Electronic maps displaying the surface temperature distribution of radiators are an important means of visualizing the temperature field. Server software uses electronic maps to intuitively present the specific location and corresponding temperature value of each temperature measuring point on the radiator surface of the cooling triangle, which can clearly show the spatial distribution of temperature and help to quickly locate low temperature points or areas with abnormally low temperatures. These areas are often key parts of the heat sink bundle that are at risk of freezing, providing accurate location information for generating antifreeze protection commands.
[0063] Historical data comparison and analysis provides a reference benchmark for judging whether the temperature status is abnormal. The server software can save all monitoring data within one year, including radiator surface temperature data under different unit loads and different external environmental parameters (such as wind speed, temperature, and humidity). When performing temperature field analysis, the system compares the currently collected temperature data with historical temperature data under similar unit loads or similar external environmental conditions. By analyzing the temperature change trend (such as whether the current temperature is significantly lower than the historical temperature under the same operating conditions, whether the temperature drop rate exceeds the historical normal range, etc.), it determines whether there is an abnormal cooling trend on the current radiator surface, thereby providing data support for assessing the degree of freezing risk and generating reasonable anti-freeze protection commands.
[0064] Real-time alarm processing for abnormal temperature points is a crucial mechanism for timely response to freezing risks. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature at a point on the radiator surface is below the set anti-freeze threshold (e.g., close to or below the freezing point of circulating water), or when the temperature drops rapidly within a short period and the rate of drop reaches the warning value, the server software triggers a real-time alarm, clearly displaying the location of the abnormal temperature point, the current temperature, and the degree of abnormality. Combining the specific location determined by the electronic map and the trend judgment based on historical data comparison analysis, the system can quickly process the alarm information, determine the risk level, and generate targeted anti-freeze protection commands. For example, for local low-temperature areas, the back pressure control command of the corresponding sector segment can be increased, or the opening of the louvers in that area can be adjusted to reduce heat dissipation, thereby effectively preventing the heat sink bundle from freezing.
[0065] In some embodiments, sending the antifreeze protection command and back pressure optimization suggestion to the control system, and dynamically adjusting the circulating water pump frequency and louver opening according to unit load changes includes:
[0066] When the temperature data at the cold end is less than a set threshold, the back pressure control command is increased to prevent local overcooling;
[0067] When the load is stable, the opening of a single sector louver is dynamically adjusted based on the temperature difference of the return water at the cold end to achieve an optimized balance of the local temperature field.
[0068] The system sends the antifreeze protection command and back pressure optimization suggestions to the control system, dynamically adjusting the circulating water pump frequency and louver opening according to unit load changes. Specifically, this manifests as targeted control logic under two typical operating conditions. When the cold-end temperature data is lower than a set threshold, the system triggers the back pressure adjustment mechanism in the antifreeze protection command, i.e., increasing the back pressure control command. Here, "cold-end temperature data" mainly refers to the surface temperature of the cooling triangular windward heat dissipation tube bundle or the return water temperature. The set threshold is usually determined based on the freezing point of the circulating water and the unit's safe operation experience. When these temperatures are lower than the threshold, it means that the heat dissipation tube bundle is at risk of localized overcooling or even freezing. After increasing the back pressure control command, the turbine exhaust pressure increases, and the exhaust temperature rises accordingly. This indirectly heats the heat dissipation tube bundle through the circulating water, effectively increasing its temperature and preventing water flow stagnation or freezing due to excessively low temperatures, thus ensuring the safety of the unit during low-load operation in winter.
[0069] When the unit load is stable, the overall operation of the indirect cooling tower is relatively stable. At this time, the system will implement fine-tuning based on the return water temperature difference at the cold end, dynamically correcting the louver opening of individual sector sections. The return water temperature difference at the cold end refers to the temperature deviation of different cooling triangle return water pipes. This deviation often reflects the uneven cooling efficiency of circulating water within each sector section, which may be caused by factors such as water distribution and air circulation. By monitoring the return water temperature of each sector section in real time, the system can identify local areas with low or high temperatures, and then adjust the louver opening of the corresponding sector section accordingly: for sector sections with low return water temperature (risk of overcooling), the louver opening is appropriately reduced to reduce the amount of cold air entering the area, reduce heat dissipation efficiency, and increase the local temperature; for sector sections with high return water temperature (insufficient heat dissipation), the louver opening is appropriately increased to increase cold air circulation and enhance heat dissipation. This local adjustment can optimize the temperature field balance of each sector, avoiding local overcooling and ensuring overall heat dissipation efficiency, thereby improving the economy and safety of unit operation under stable load.
[0070] In some embodiments, the method further includes:
[0071] In response to the rate of decrease in unit load being greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the antifreeze protection switch is triggered, controlling the frequency of the circulating water pump to increase the water flow rate within the cooling triangle and prevent the heat dissipation tube bundle from freezing.
[0072] The unit load reduction rate refers to the decrease in the current power load borne by the unit per unit time. This parameter directly reflects the changing trend of the unit's operating status. The "preset threshold" is a critical reduction rate set based on the unit's historical operating data, the antifreeze requirements of the heat dissipation tube bundle, and safe operating experience. When the actual load reduction rate reaches or exceeds this threshold, it means that the unit may quickly enter a low-load condition. At this time, the flow rate of the circulating water in the cooling triangle is very likely to decrease due to the load reduction, thereby increasing the risk of water flow stagnation, local overcooling, and freezing.
[0073] The antifreeze protection switch is a preset automatic protection mechanism in the system. One of its trigger conditions is that the unit load decrease rate meets the aforementioned threshold condition. Triggering the switch can quickly activate the corresponding antifreeze control logic. After the antifreeze protection switch is triggered, the system will control the circulating water pump frequency to increase. Here, "circulating water pump frequency" is directly related to the operating speed of the water pump motor. Increasing the frequency will drive the water pump speed to increase, thereby increasing the flow rate of circulating water in the cooling triangle. The manual clearly states that low circulating water flow rate and uneven water distribution in the cooling triangle are the main causes of radiator tube bundle freezing during low-load operation in winter. In particular, water flow may stagnate in some cooling triangles. Therefore, increasing the circulating water pump frequency to increase the water flow rate can effectively improve the problem of uneven water distribution, avoid local overcooling caused by water stagnation in the radiator tube bundle for too long, and thus fundamentally prevent the radiator tube bundle from freezing, ensuring the safe operation of the unit during rapid load decrease.
