Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydropower application technology, and in particular to a multi-source signal fusion device for monitoring cavitation in a hydro turbine and a method for evaluating cavitation. Background Technology
[0002] Cavitation is a common physical phenomenon in the operation of hydraulic turbines. When the local water pressure is lower than the saturated vapor pressure, cavitation bubbles are generated in the water and undergo a process of formation, development, and collapse. This process releases high-temperature, high-pressure microjets and shock waves, which, over time, can cause cavitation erosion, efficiency loss, and vibration in turbine components, seriously affecting operational safety. Furthermore, cavitation is difficult to observe directly in its early stages, and its development process exhibits nonlinear and stochastic characteristics. Therefore, precise and effective monitoring technologies are urgently needed to mitigate these risks.
[0003] Currently, the industry mainly uses traditional vibration sensors, sway sensors, acoustic emission sensors, and pressure sensors to monitor cavitation in hydro turbines. Among them, vibration and sway sensors reflect the operating status by indirectly measuring the unit vibration caused by turbulence, while acoustic emission sensors and pressure sensors are used to capture cavitation-related intensity signals and mechanical response signals, respectively.
[0004] However, existing monitoring methods have significant limitations: they cannot accurately reflect the degree of cavitation; vibration and sway sensors can only monitor indirectly, and vibration values do not change significantly, making early warning difficult; by the time vibration values exceed the standard, cavitation is already quite severe. Furthermore, they lack the ability to capture thermodynamic characteristics; vibration and pressure sensors can only monitor mechanical responses and cannot directly obtain information on the localized high temperatures and other thermal effects generated when cavitation bubbles collapse. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a cavitation evaluation method that can solve the problems of existing technologies, such as the inability to accurately reflect the degree of cavitation, the inability of vibration and sway sensors to monitor cavitation indirectly with no significant change in vibration values, making early warning difficult, and the inability to provide early warning when vibration values exceed the standard, resulting in severe cavitation. Furthermore, it lacks the ability to capture thermodynamic features, and vibration and pressure sensors can only monitor mechanical responses, failing to directly obtain information on the localized high temperatures and other thermal effects generated when cavitation bubbles collapse.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] The cavitation evaluation method provided by the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.
[0026] Reference manual attached Figure 1 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a multi-source signal fusion hydro turbine cavitation monitoring device provided in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0027] This invention provides a multi-source signal fusion cavitation monitoring device for a water turbine, comprising: a thermistor sensor, a noise sensor, a pressure pulsation sensor, a vibration sensor, a sway sensor, and a signal processing terminal.
[0028] The thermistor sensor, noise sensor, pressure pulsation sensor, vibration sensor, and sway sensor are all connected to the signal processing terminal.
[0029] Thermistor sensors are used to transmit the captured transient temperature field signal of the blade to the signal processing terminal.
[0030] The noise sensor is used to collect cavitation noise signals and transmit them to the signal processing terminal.
[0031] The pressure pulsation sensor is used to collect pressure fluctuation signals in the tailrace pipe and transmit these signals to the signal processing terminal.
[0032] Vibration sensors are used to collect unit vibration data and transmit the unit vibration data to a signal processing terminal.
[0033] The spindle oscillation sensor is used to acquire the spindle oscillation signal and connect the spindle oscillation signal to the signal processing terminal.
[0034] The signal processing terminal receives multi-channel synchronous signals through an integrated data acquisition card and performs signal fusion, feature analysis, and cavitation level determination through an embedded processor.
[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, the multi-source signal fusion turbine cavitation monitoring device collects multi-source signals such as temperature, noise, and pressure pulsation through multiple sensors and transmits them synchronously to the signal processing terminal. After fusion analysis and feature extraction, the cavitation level is determined. This not only breaks through the limitations of traditional single signal monitoring, but also accurately captures the thermodynamic characteristics and mechanical response of cavitation, realizing early warning, accurate positioning, and real-time intelligent assessment, significantly improving the comprehensiveness, reliability, and practicality of turbine cavitation monitoring.
[0036] In one possible implementation, the thermistor sensor specifically includes multiple thermistor sensors.
[0037] Furthermore, based on the size and shape of the turbine blades, multiple thermistor sensors are evenly embedded on the surface of the turbine blades to capture the transient temperature field distribution during the collapse of cavitation bubbles.
[0038] Specifically, noise sensors are located in the turbine chamber and at the tailrace inlet. Pressure pulsation sensors are installed at the tailrace inlet. Vibration sensors are located on the top cover to collect unit vibration signals. Swing sensors are located at the turbine main shaft to collect unit swing signals.
[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, the thermistor sensor arrangement involves multiple thermistors evenly distributed and buried on the blade surface to accurately capture the transient temperature field of cavitation and achieve regional positioning. Various types of sensors are arranged in key locations such as the water turbine chamber and tailrace pipe according to functional requirements, which can efficiently collect interference-free target signals and provide accurate data support for multi-source fusion analysis, cavitation quantitative evaluation and early warning, greatly improving the comprehensiveness, pertinence and reliability of monitoring.
[0040] Reference manual attached Figure 2 The diagram shows a flowchart of a cavitation evaluation method provided by an embodiment of the present invention.
[0041] This invention provides a cavitation evaluation method, applied to the aforementioned multi-source signal fusion turbine cavitation monitoring device, which may include the following steps: S1: Obtain the temperature of each area of the water turbine.
[0042] S2: Using a thermistor sensor, identify areas of the turbine where the temperature is higher than the preset temperature, i.e., cavitation heat zones.
[0043] In this embodiment of the invention, thermistor sensors evenly distributed on the surface of the blades are used to accurately identify cavitation hot zones with temperatures higher than a preset temperature, directly capturing the core thermodynamic characteristics of cavitation bubble collapse. This not only makes up for the shortcomings of traditional monitoring in capturing thermal effects, but also provides accurate raw data for subsequent cavitation area quantification and regional positioning, and can also identify nascent cavitation in advance, greatly improving the targeting of monitoring and early warning capabilities.
[0044] In one possible implementation, after S2, the following is also included: By using a thermistor sensor and combining the characteristics of cavitation bubble collapse, the hot spot fluctuation frequency associated with the collapse frequency is extracted.
[0045] In this embodiment of the invention, transient temperature data is captured by a thermistor sensor, and the hot spot fluctuation frequency associated with the collapse frequency is extracted by combining the collapse characteristics of cavitation bubbles. This not only directly captures the core thermodynamic characteristics of cavitation and makes up for the shortcoming of traditional technology that cannot associate with the essential frequency of cavitation, but also provides a key basis for subsequent multi-signal frequency comparison and verification, significantly improving the accuracy of cavitation identification and the reliability of intelligent prediction.
[0046] S3: Calculate the ratio of the area of the cavitation heat zone to the area of the turbine to determine the cavitation heat zone area ratio.
[0047] Specifically, the formula for calculating the cavitation heat zone area ratio is:
[0048] in, R Indicates the cavitation heat zone area ratio. S Indicates the area of the cavitation heat zone. S 0 represents the area of the water turbine.
[0049] In this embodiment of the invention, the cavitation hot zone area ratio is determined by calculating the ratio of the cavitation hot zone area to the surface area of a single turbine blade. This transforms the cavitation range from a qualitative description into a quantitative indicator, making up for the deficiency of traditional technologies in being unable to quantify the degree of cavitation. It provides an objective and accurate core basis for subsequent cavitation degree classification, significantly improving the scientific nature and operability of monitoring and evaluation.
[0050] S4: Determine the quantization thresholds for multi-source signals, which specifically include: temperature threshold, cavitation hot zone area ratio threshold, abrasion depth threshold, vibration threshold, sway threshold, pressure pulsation threshold, and noise threshold.
[0051] Specifically, the method for determining the erosion depth threshold is as follows: when the thermal sensor is functioning normally, the switch signal is set to 0. When the thermal sensor fails, the switch signal is set to 1.
[0052] For example, considering that the average annual surface water temperature is roughly in the range of 0-30℃, and taking into account the error, the temperature threshold T0 is set to 45℃ with an amplification factor of 1.5.
[0053] The cavitation hot zone area ratio threshold R0 is taken from DL / T444-2020 Guidelines for the Assessment of Corrosion of Reaction Turbines, 6.1.4 The corrosion area of a single blade of the runner should not exceed 15% of the surface area of a single blade.
[0054] The vibration threshold A0, swing threshold B0, pressure pulsation threshold P0, and noise threshold N0 shall be implemented in accordance with the relevant provisions in GB / T15468-2020 Basic Technical Conditions for Hydropower Turbines, and will not be repeated here.
[0055] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can set the quantization threshold for multi-source signals according to actual needs, and this invention does not limit such settings.
[0056] In this embodiment of the invention, multiple key indicators such as temperature and cavitation heat zone area ratio are comprehensively covered. The quantitative thresholds are scientifically set in combination with the actual surface water temperature, industry standards and sensor operating conditions. This not only ensures the rationality and authority of the thresholds, but also provides an objective and unified reference standard for subsequent cavitation degree classification, effectively avoiding subjective errors and greatly improving the standardization and accuracy of monitoring and evaluation.
[0057] S5: Real-time measurement parameters of the turbine are collected through a turbine cavitation monitoring device that integrates multi-source signals.
[0058] The real-time measurement parameters specifically include: the turbine's real-time temperature T, the real-time cavitation heat zone area ratio R, the real-time vibration threshold A, the real-time swing threshold B, the real-time pressure pulsation threshold P, the real-time noise threshold N, and the real-time erosion depth H.
[0059] In this embodiment of the invention, relying on a multi-source signal fusion monitoring device, real-time parameters such as temperature, vibration, and sway are collected simultaneously, covering cavitation-related thermodynamic and mechanical response characteristics. The data is comprehensive and timely, providing accurate and complete raw data support for subsequent multi-source signal fusion analysis, cavitation degree classification, and intelligent prediction, effectively avoiding the limitations of single parameter collection.
[0060] S6: By comparing the real-time measurement parameters and the quantization threshold of the multi-source signals, the cavitation degree of the turbine is obtained.
[0061] The evaluation of cavitation level specifically includes: The real-time cavitation hot zone area ratio R, real-time vibration threshold A, real-time swing threshold B, real-time pressure pulsation threshold P, and real-time noise threshold N are defined as the remaining parameters.
[0062] The threshold values for cavitation hot zone area ratio, vibration threshold, swing threshold, pressure pulsation threshold, and noise threshold are defined as the threshold values for the remaining parameters.
[0063] When the real-time temperature T of the turbine is less than the temperature threshold, the real-time erosion depth H is equal to 0, and the other parameters do not exceed the threshold of the other parameters, the degree of cavitation is non-cavitation.
[0064] When the real-time temperature T of the turbine is greater than the temperature threshold, the real-time erosion depth H is equal to 0, and the other parameters do not exceed the threshold of the other parameters, the degree of cavitation is primary cavitation.
[0065] When the real-time temperature T of the turbine is greater than the temperature threshold, the real-time erosion depth H is equal to 0, and one of the other parameters exceeds the corresponding value of the other parameter threshold, the cavitation degree is local cavitation.
[0066] When the real-time temperature T of the turbine is greater than the temperature threshold, the real-time erosion depth H is equal to 0, and two of the other parameters exceed the corresponding items in the other parameter thresholds, the cavitation degree is medium cavitation.
[0067] When the real-time temperature T of the turbine is greater than the temperature threshold and the real-time erosion depth H is equal to 1, or when the real-time temperature T of the turbine is greater than the temperature threshold and three or more of the other parameters exceed the corresponding items of the other parameter thresholds, the cavitation degree is severe cavitation.
[0068] Specifically, because cavitation is accompanied by high temperature and high pressure, it occurs only when the real-time temperature exceeds a temperature threshold. The more severe the cavitation, the greater the unstable energy generated, which will affect other parameters.
[0069] In this embodiment of the invention, the essential characteristic of cavitation accompanied by high temperature is taken as the core premise for judgment. By comparing real-time parameters with multi-source quantification thresholds, and combining the erosion depth state and the number of other parameters exceeding the threshold, the degree of cavitation is judged in a graded manner. The logic is rigorous, the grading is comprehensive and in line with the development law of cavitation. It not only avoids misjudgment by a single indicator, but also accurately quantifies the severity of cavitation at different stages, providing a clear and reliable basis for targeted operation and maintenance of the unit.
[0070] Furthermore, the cavitation region is located using thermistors evenly distributed on the blades.
[0071] In one possible implementation, after S6, the following is also included: S7: Compare and verify the hot spot fluctuation frequency with the frequencies of noise, pressure pulsation, vibration, and sway.
[0072] It should be noted that by comparing the frequency of hot spot fluctuations, which are directly related to cavitation collapse, with the frequencies of noise, pressure pulsation, vibration, and sway signals, cross-validation of multi-source features is achieved. This effectively eliminates irrelevant interference such as water flow turbulence, verifies the validity of cavitation determination results, and significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of cavitation identification and level evaluation.
[0073] S8: Conduct turbine operation tests under different operating conditions, determine cavitation characteristics based on the collected test data, and establish a cavitation characteristic database.
[0074] It should be noted that by conducting turbine operation tests covering different operating conditions, comprehensive cavitation-related data under real operating scenarios were collected. Cavitation features were systematically extracted and a database was established, providing rich and realistic training samples for deep learning algorithms. This laid a solid foundation for real-time determination and prediction of cavitation status, and significantly improved the accuracy, versatility, and applicability of subsequent intelligent evaluation.
[0075] S9: Through deep learning algorithms, the unit parameters in the cavitation feature database are mapped and associated with the cavitation features under the corresponding operating conditions, so as to determine and predict the degree of cavitation in the turbine operation process in real time.
[0076] Specifically, the unit parameters include: load, head, and guide vane opening.
[0077] It should be noted that by using deep learning algorithms, the unit parameters in the cavitation feature database are deeply mapped and associated with the corresponding cavitation features. This not only enables real-time and accurate determination of the cavitation level, but also allows for early prediction of its development trend. This overcomes the limitations of traditional monitoring due to its lag, significantly improves the level of intelligence in monitoring, and provides strong support for timely operation and maintenance of the unit and avoidance of fault risks.
[0078] In this embodiment of the invention, irrelevant interference is eliminated by frequency comparison verification and the validity of the judgment results is verified. Based on the cavitation feature database constructed from multi-condition test data, a deep learning algorithm is used to achieve a deep mapping between unit parameters and cavitation features. This not only breaks through the limitations of the lag in traditional monitoring, but also solves the problem of the one-sidedness of single signal evaluation. It greatly improves the accuracy of cavitation identification, the level of intelligence in evaluation, and the foresight of trend prediction, providing scientific and timely support for turbine operation and maintenance decisions.
