Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power plant boiler safety monitoring technology, specifically to a method and system for monitoring stress in the membrane water-cooled wall of a power plant boiler. Background Technology
[0002] Water-cooled walls in power plant boilers typically employ membrane wall structures. Adjacent tubes are connected by fins to form the combustion chamber, providing space for fuel combustion and absorbing the heat generated during combustion, transferring it to the working fluid inside the tubes to achieve energy transfer. Due to the large size of membrane water-cooled walls, they are susceptible to stress caused by inconsistent expansion or localized obstruction due to thermal expansion. When this stress exceeds the allowable limits of the water-cooled wall material, it can lead to tensile cracking, thus affecting the safe operation of the power plant boiler. Currently, influenced by the demand for grid load regulation, thermal power units have transformed from basic guaranteed power sources to system-regulating power sources. High-frequency and wide-load regulation has become the new normal. Due to deviations from the unit's design operating conditions, peak-shaving operation affects the safety of water-cooled walls. One of the main reasons is that inconsistent expansion during operation leads to stress cracking. Specifically: 1. Under low load, the feedwater flow rate is low. Due to the deterioration of hydrodynamic characteristics, the working fluid flow rate distributed to each pipe is different, resulting in different cooling conditions, which leads to increased temperature difference and increased thermal stress; 2. Under low load, the flue gas filling degree of the furnace deteriorates, and the uniformity of heat load decreases, resulting in different heat absorption of water-cooled walls in different areas, leading to increased temperature difference and increased thermal stress; 3. During rapid load changes, the rate and magnitude of increase and decrease in heat load of water-cooled walls in different areas are different, leading to increased temperature difference and increased thermal stress. Due to technological limitations, thermal stress is difficult to observe. The current expansion indicator method can only observe the overall expansion of the heated surface. Usually, the cause of stress is analyzed and the location of thermal stress is inferred only after the water-cooled wall cracks. It is impossible to achieve real-time monitoring of local thermal stress, and therefore it is impossible to take measures to prevent cracking accidents when thermal stress occurs.
