Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of hydro-generator technology, and in particular relates to a real-time dynamic adjustment device for the dynamic balance of a hydro-generator set. Background Technology

[0002] Hydropower generator sets are devices that convert water energy into electrical energy. The normal operation of hydropower generator sets is directly related to the safety and stability of power plants and even power grids. Among the various operating indicators, the swing and vibration of hydropower generator sets are particularly critical. The dynamic balancing test during the commissioning process is an important step to reduce the swing and vibration of hydropower generator sets.

[0003] The main steps of the current dynamic balancing test are as follows: 1. Calculate the location of the counterweight required for dynamic balancing by measuring the runout of the rotating parts during unit operation; 2. Shut down the unit and add counterweights at the appropriate locations; 3. Start the unit and check whether the vibration and runout of the rotating parts of the unit meet the requirements; 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the unit's vibration and sway meet the standards.

[0004] The above is the method used in the prior art, but it has the following drawbacks: 1. Each time the counterweight needs to be rebalanced, the unit needs to be stopped and restarted, which is a complicated operation; 2. The dynamic balance counterweight is only suitable for the current operating conditions, such as the current head and load. If the dynamic balance counterweight of the unit meets the requirements, it cannot guarantee that the dynamic balance of the unit will meet the requirements under other heads or operating conditions. 3. Slight shaft displacement and center of gravity shift may occur during unit operation. At this time, the state of the unit changes. Dynamic balancing is performed during commissioning after unit installation or maintenance and cannot adapt to changes in the state of the unit.

[0005] 4. Existing dynamic balancing technology is only performed on the upper or lower surface of the rotor support, which is equivalent to only performing it in the XY plane in space. It is impossible to determine the height position of the counterweight required for dynamic balancing. After dynamic balancing, the unbalanced force of the unit cannot be completely eliminated.

[0006] Therefore, a new real-time dynamic balancing technology for hydro-generator sets is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this application is to overcome the problems of the prior art by disclosing a real-time dynamic adjustment device for the dynamic balance of a hydro-generator unit, which enables the unit to adapt to the operating conditions in real time and ensures that the dynamic balance state meets the requirements under all operating conditions.

[0008] On the one hand, the objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution: A real-time dynamic balance adjustment device for a hydro-generator set, comprising: eight dynamic balance adjustment units symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower ring plates of the rotor, and a remote control unit. Each dynamic balancing unit is connected via pipelines, and the remote control unit adjusts the rotor dynamic balance in real time by controlling the amount of insulating oil in each dynamic balancing unit.

[0009] According to a preferred embodiment, the dynamic balancing adjustment unit includes: an insulating oil tank, a micro hydraulic pump, and pipelines; the insulating oil tank is connected to the pipelines via the micro hydraulic pump and is used to adjust the amount of insulating oil in the insulating oil tank within the corresponding dynamic balancing adjustment unit.

[0010] According to a preferred embodiment, the insulating mailboxes in each dynamic balancing unit are equidistant from the center of the ring plate.

[0011] According to a preferred embodiment, the dynamic balancing adjustment unit further includes a power supply module, the power supply module being powered via a DC excitation cable inside the rotor.

[0012] According to a preferred embodiment, the remote control unit adjusts the amount of oil in the insulating oil tank in real time through a micro hydraulic pump based on the swing and vibration data collected in real time by the unit monitoring system, thereby changing the weight and orientation of the counterweight and thus adjusting the rotor dynamic balance in real time.

[0013] According to a preferred embodiment, since the corresponding dynamic balance adjustment units on the upper and lower rotor ring plates are interconnected via pipelines, the remote control unit adjusts the corresponding micro hydraulic pumps of each dynamic balance adjustment unit to achieve the coordination of each dynamic balance adjustment unit on the upper and lower rotor ring plates, thereby realizing the adjustment of the counterweight position in the vertical direction.

[0014] According to a preferred embodiment, the remote control unit acquires the data collected by the unit monitoring system via wireless transmission.

[0015] According to a preferred embodiment, the remote control unit controls the micro hydraulic pumps in each dynamic balancing unit via wireless transmission.

[0016] On the other hand, this application also discloses: A method for real-time dynamic adjustment of the dynamic balance of a hydro-generator unit, wherein the method is based on the aforementioned real-time dynamic adjustment device for the dynamic balance of a hydro-generator unit, and the method includes: S1: Install the 8 dynamic balancing adjustment units on the upper ring plate and the lower ring plate of the rotor, respectively; S2: The remote control unit controls the amount of oil in each dynamic balance adjustment unit in a plane, so that the four dynamic balance adjustment units in a single plane generate a counterweight in a specified direction. S3: As the counterweight orientation changes, the unit's vibration and sway are monitored in real time. Based on the real-time monitoring of the unit's vibration and sway, the counterweight orientation is obtained when the vibration and sway data meet the preset values. S4: After the counterweight orientation is determined, increase or decrease the oil quantity at the corresponding orientation, including: Based on the real-time monitoring of the unit's vibration and sway, the control system synthesizes the sway in the current plane according to the current in-plane sway and phase information. Based on the synthesized data, it controls the corresponding oil pump to output oil to the direction with less vibration, thereby reducing the vibration. When the vibration and sway data are detected to meet the preset values, the optimal value of the counterweight in the corresponding direction is obtained. S5: After completing the adjustment of one plane, adjust the oil volume in the four dynamic balance adjustment units in another plane, and repeat steps S2-S5 to determine the weight and orientation of the counterweight in the other plane.

[0017] According to a preferred embodiment, the real-time dynamic adjustment method for the dynamic balance of the hydro-generator set further includes: S6: by adjusting the weight distribution of the counterweights in the two planes of the upper and lower rotor ring plates, the vibration and sway values ​​of the unit are further reduced.

[0018] The aforementioned main solution and its various further alternative solutions can be freely combined to form multiple solutions, all of which are solutions that can be adopted and are claimed in this application. Those skilled in the art, after understanding the solution of this application, will realize that there are many combinations based on the prior art and common general knowledge, all of which are technical solutions to be protected in this application, and will not be exhaustively listed here.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this application are: 1. High safety: This application uses insulating oil to achieve weight distribution, so even if leakage occurs, it will not damage the rotating parts.

[0020] 2. Power is drawn from the excitation system, avoiding the problem of wiring rotating parts.

[0021] 3. The system vibration and sway data are taken from the existing unit monitoring system, and no other system needs to be installed independently.

[0022] 4. The remote control unit can adapt to all units and all operating conditions: This application can make adjustments in real time according to the current unit status. When the unit's head, active load, reactive load and other operating conditions change, the dynamic balance will also change accordingly.

[0023] 5. Able to adapt to minute changes in rotating parts: During the operation of the unit, due to stress, the rotating and stationary parts of the unit will undergo minute deformation, which will cause the center of gravity of the unit to change. This application can detect this in time and make changes according to the current state of the unit.

[0024] 6. From Fixed to Real-Time Adjustment: Traditional adjustment methods require removing and reinstalling the existing counterweight after it has been added to the rotor, which is labor-intensive and risky. This application allows for real-time adjustment based on the unit's operating conditions, simplifying operation.

[0025] 7. Transforming a plane into a three-dimensional structure: This application has four sets of dynamic balancing adjustment units in each of the upper and lower planes. Through the reasonable allocation of the four sets of dynamic balancing adjustment units in the upper and lower planes, axial dynamic balancing adjustment can be achieved. Traditional rotor dynamic balancing tests only perform counterweighting on the lower plane of the rotor, which cannot make the counterweight move axially. This application avoids the problem that existing dynamic balancing adjustment devices can only be performed in a fixed plane. Attached Figure Description

[0036] Preferably, the remote control unit adjusts the amount of oil in the insulating oil tank in real time through a micro hydraulic pump based on the swing and vibration data collected in real time by the unit monitoring system, thereby changing the weight and orientation of the counterweight and thus adjusting the rotor dynamic balance in real time.

[0037] Preferably, the remote control unit acquires data from the unit monitoring system via wireless transmission. The remote control unit also controls the micro hydraulic pumps within each dynamic balancing unit via wireless transmission.

[0038] Furthermore, since the corresponding dynamic balance adjustment units on the upper and lower ring plates of the rotor are interconnected through pipelines, the remote control unit adjusts the corresponding micro hydraulic pumps of each dynamic balance adjustment unit to achieve the coordination of each dynamic balance adjustment unit on the upper and lower ring plates of the rotor, thereby realizing the adjustment of the counterweight position in the vertical direction, i.e., the z-direction, and making the adjustment more precise.

Based on the real-time monitoring of the unit's vibration and sway, the counterweight orientation is obtained when the vibration and sway data meet the preset values. S4: After the counterweight orientation is determined, increase or decrease the oil quantity at the corresponding orientation, including: Based on the real-time monitoring of the unit's vibration and sway, the control system synthesizes the sway in the X and Y directions in the current plane according to the sway and phase information in the current plane. Based on the synthesized data, the corresponding oil pump is controlled to output oil to the direction with less vibration, thereby reducing the vibration. When the vibration and sway data are detected to meet the preset values, the optimal value of the counterweight in the corresponding direction is obtained. S5: After completing the adjustment of one plane, adjust the oil volume in the four dynamic balance adjustment units in another plane, and repeat steps S2-S5 to determine the weight and orientation of the counterweight in the other plane.
