Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nuclear reactor control technology, specifically relating to a coordinated control method and system for a helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system. Background Technology
[0002] With socio-economic development, the demand for stable power is increasing in remote areas, islands, industrial parks, mobile equipment, and modern high-tech warfare. The Helium-Xenon Brayton cycle energy conversion system utilizes a high-temperature heat source to heat helium-xenon gas and directly drive a turbine to generate electricity efficiently. Compared to the Rankine cycle, the Helium-Xenon Brayton cycle has advantages such as system simplicity, compact structure, high average heat absorption temperature, high cycle efficiency, and small size of key equipment. Furthermore, the Helium-Xenon Brayton cycle power generation system boasts a compact structure, high power generation efficiency, and easy, safe, and reliable operation, capable of meeting the electricity needs of these regions.
[0003] To improve system efficiency, energy conversion systems generally adopt a coaxial arrangement of turbine and compressor, resulting in strong coupling between subsystems and characteristics such as time-varying parameters, nonlinearity, and large inertia. In contrast, power systems are characterized by variable load characteristics and high difficulty in load tracking, all of which bring great challenges to the operation and control of the system.
[0004] Helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation systems have broad application prospects in remote areas, islands, and industrial parks due to their advantages of simplicity, compact structure, and high cycle efficiency. However, this system faces several control challenges: First, the coaxial arrangement of the turbine and compressor, adopted to improve system efficiency, leads to strong coupling between subsystems, where a change in one parameter can trigger a chain reaction in multiple parameters; second, the system exhibits significant time-varying and nonlinear characteristics, with dynamic characteristics varying considerably at different power levels; third, the energy conversion system suffers from significant time delays and inertia, making it difficult to quickly track load changes; furthermore, the variable characteristics of power system loads make load tracking challenging. Traditional control methods often employ single-loop control or multi-loop independent control, which struggles to effectively address the issues of strong coupling and complex dynamic characteristics, resulting in excessively long adjustment times and large parameter fluctuations under load disturbances, affecting the safe and stable operation of the system. Especially under large-scale load disturbances, existing control methods cannot coordinate the dynamic balance between the energy conversion system, energy storage system, and load, easily leading to power imbalances and equipment overloads.
[0005] To solve the above problems, a coordinated control method for helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation systems is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present invention adopts the following technical solution: A coordinated control method for a helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system includes the following steps: S1.

ΔP Based on the stated state of charge (SOC) value, adjust the power of the energy conversion system and the charging and discharging of the energy storage system; S3. Obtain the measured values of important system parameters, energy change prediction information, and actuator constraints, and use Model Predictive Control (MPC) to coordinate and control the measured values, prediction information, and constraints.
[0008] Preferably, in step S1, controlling the opening and closing of the unloading circuit according to the state of charge (SOC) value specifically includes: when SOC ( k When H ≥ H0, the unloading circuit is connected to unload the load. SOC ( k )for k At any given moment, the energy storage system's SOC is H0, which is the start point of unloading loop 2. when SOC ( k When H1 ≤ H2, only unloading circuit 1 is connected, and unloading circuit 2 is not connected. H2 is the opening point of unloading circuit 2. Set the closing point H1 of the unloading loop 1 below H0, H1 <H0; when SOC ( k When H1 ≤ H1, unloading circuit 1 is shut off, and the unloading system stops unloading; like SOC ( k When H2 > H2, unloading circuit 2 is connected to unload the load; when SOC ( k When H ≤ H0, unloading circuit 2 is turned off, and unloading circuit 1 remains connected; when SOC ( kWhen it is ≤ H1, the unloading circuit 1 is turned off and the unloading system stops unloading.
[0009] Preferably, the control state of the unloading system obtained in step S1 needs to ensure that the state of charge (SOC) value of the energy storage system is maintained within the interval [H1, H2], providing a stable energy storage basis for the power adjustment in step S2.
[0010] Preferably, in step S2, when ΔP > 0, increase the power of the energy conversion system, specifically including: When P n , P , k , k , k , ΔP , n , n , k , n , , SOC , SOC , P , , n ( k ) ≤ H n When, increase the power of the energy conversion system, P n ( k ) is the power of the energy conversion system at k moment, and H n is the upper limit of the power of the energy conversion system; if SOC ( k ) ≥ L0, the energy storage system discharges to the DC grid; if SOC ( k ) < L0, the energy storage system stops discharging and reduces the user load power, and L0 is the lower limit of the power of the energy storage system during discharge; When P n ( k ) > H n When, do not continue to increase the power of the energy conversion system; if SOC ( k ) ≥ L0, the energy storage system discharges to the DC grid; if SOC ( k ) < L0, the energy storage system stops discharging and reduces the user load.
[0011] Preferably, in step S2, when ΔP < 0, reduce the power of the energy conversion system, specifically including: When P n ( k ) ≥ L n When, reduce the power of the energy conversion system, and L n is the lower limit of the power of the energy conversion system; if SOC ( k ) ≤ H0, the energy storage system absorbs the excess power in the DC grid; if SOC ( k ) > H0, perform unloading; When P n ( k ) < L nAt that time, the power of the energy conversion system will not be further reduced; if SOC ( k If H ≤ H0, the energy storage system absorbs excess electricity from the DC grid; if SOC ( k )>H0, unload.
[0012] Preferably, the upper limit H of the power of the energy conversion system is... n and lower limit L n The requirements for safe operation of equipment in heat sources and energy conversion systems are set.
[0013] Preferably, in step S3, model predictive control (MPC) is used to coordinate and control the measured values, predicted information, and constraints, specifically including: A full-power-range fused state-space model of a linear variable parameter system is used as the prediction model. The system inputs the measured values of important parameters, energy change prediction information, actuator constraints, and the adjusted control setpoints from step S2 into the MPC. Based on the full-power range fusion state-space model of the linear variable parameter system, the system predicts the future operating state. The system performs rolling optimization of the objective function, which aims to minimize the fluctuation of energy conversion system parameters, shorten the energy storage system adjustment time, and reduce DC grid power deviation. The optimized setpoint curve is then output.
[0014] Preferably, the measured values of the important system parameters include the input current of the energy storage system, the inlet temperature of the energy conversion system, the mechanical torque, and the electromagnetic power of the generator; the constraints of the actuator include the power regulation rate constraint of the energy conversion system, the charging and discharging current constraint of the energy storage system, and the power carrying capacity constraint of the unloading circuit.
[0015] Preferably, the energy conversion system includes a helium-xenon Brayton cycle energy conversion system in which the turbine and compressor are arranged coaxially.
[0016] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide a coordinated control system for a helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system, comprising: The data module is used to acquire the state of charge (SOC) value of the energy storage system and control the opening and closing of the unloading circuit based on the SOC value. Power module, used to obtain power deviation ΔP The power deviation ΔP The difference between the load power and the grid power is calculated based on the power deviation. ΔP Based on the stated state of charge (SOC) value, adjust the power of the energy conversion system and the charging and discharging of the energy storage system; The coordination module is used to acquire the measured values of important system parameters, energy change prediction information, and actuator constraints, and to use Model Predictive Control (MPC) to coordinate and control the measured values, prediction information, and constraints.
[0017] Thirdly, a computer device includes a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor, when executing the computer program, implements the steps of the above-described coordinated control method for a helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system.
[0018] Fourthly, embodiments of the present invention provide a computer-readable storage medium including a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the above-described coordinated control method for a helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system.
[0019] Fifthly, a chip includes a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor, when executing the computer program, implements the steps of the above-described coordinated control method for a helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system.
[0020] In a sixth aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide an electronic device including a computer program, which, when executed by the electronic device, implements the steps of the above-described coordinated control method for a helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: A coordinated control method for a helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system is proposed, achieving coordinated system operation through a three-level control architecture. The first level controls the unloading loop based on the SOC value of the energy storage system to prevent overcharging and over-discharging of the battery. The second level adjusts the power of the energy conversion system and the charging and discharging of the energy storage system based on the deviation ΔP between the load power and the grid power, combined with the SOC state. The third level utilizes model predictive control (MPC) to coordinate the control of measured values of key system parameters, predicted energy changes, and actuator constraints. A complete three-level coordinated control system is established, resolving the strong coupling problem caused by the coaxial arrangement of the turbine and compressor in the helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system. Through dual judgment of SOC and power deviation, the collaborative operation of the energy storage system and the energy conversion system is achieved, effectively coping with the variable load characteristics. The introduction of MPC solves the control challenges caused by the system's large inertia and nonlinearity, improving the system's dynamic response performance.
[0022] Furthermore, by precisely dividing the control range using multiple thresholds, flexible adjustment of the unloading operation is achieved. This avoids the problems of over-unloading or under-unloading caused by a single unloading loop: in the low SOC range, only a single loop is activated to reduce power loss, while in the high SOC range, dual loops work together to accelerate the unloading speed, preventing damage from overcharging of the energy storage battery while maximizing the retention of effective power. The threshold setting balances safety and economy. Through the difference design between H1 and H0, frequent switching of the unloading loop is reduced, mechanical losses and control fluctuations are decreased, and the service life of the unloading system is extended. This control logic conforms to the charging and discharging characteristics of the energy storage system and can be directly connected to subsequent power dispatching links, providing stable energy storage state support for grid power balance and improving the reliability of the overall control scheme.
[0023] Furthermore, this provides a predictable energy storage foundation for subsequent power dispatch, avoiding frequent changes in power adjustment strategies due to excessive fluctuations in the State of Charge (SOC). By strictly constraining the SOC within a safe range, it prevents permanent damage to the energy storage batteries from overcharging and over-discharging, while ensuring that the energy storage system has sufficient charge and discharge redundancy capacity to ensure timely response to grid power fluctuations. This constraint makes the effect of load shedding control quantifiable and verifiable, avoiding the blindness of load shedding operations, while reducing the frequency of switching between charge and discharge modes of the energy storage system, reducing the intensity of internal chemical reactions in the batteries, significantly extending the cycle life of the energy storage system, and indirectly reducing system operation and maintenance costs.
[0024] Furthermore, the system response requirements are precisely matched under different power conditions: when there is room for improvement in the energy conversion system, the load demand is met by increasing the system power first, while energy storage discharge is used to compensate for system delays; when the system power reaches its limit or the energy storage capacity is insufficient, the load power is adjusted in a timely manner to avoid equipment overload or excessive energy storage discharge. This strategy not only fully utilizes the power supply potential of the energy conversion system, but also quickly fills the power gap through energy storage discharge, and ensures system safety through load adjustment under extreme conditions. It achieves a multi-objective balance of maximizing power supply capacity, protecting energy storage, and ensuring system safety, effectively solving the load tracking lag problem caused by the large inertia of the helium-xenon Brayton cycle system.
[0025] Furthermore, it balances system self-sufficiency with energy storage safety: when the energy conversion system power exceeds the lower limit, the power supply to the grid is reduced by decreasing the power output, while energy storage absorbs excess electricity; when the system power approaches the lower limit, power reduction stops to maintain self-sufficiency and avoid system shutdown. Simultaneously, by comparing the SOC value with H0, energy storage absorption and unloading operations are flexibly switched, preventing both overcharging of energy storage and waste of excess electricity. This strategy adapts to the "cannot excessively reduce power" characteristic of energy conversion systems, solves the power absorption problem when supply exceeds demand, ensures stable system operation under low load conditions, and improves the continuity and economy of system operation.
[0026] Furthermore, this avoids the subjectivity of threshold setting, ensuring that power adjustments are always performed within the equipment's safety boundaries. n The design prevents overload damage to core components such as the turbine and compressor caused by excessive power in the energy conversion system. n The configuration ensures the system can maintain the self-sustaining operation of the helium-xenon Brayton cycle, preventing cycle interruption due to insufficient power. This constraint makes the power scheduling strategy more scientific and operable, providing a safety constraint basis for the control logic. It ensures that the system does not exceed the equipment's operating limits while responding to load changes, significantly improving the safety and engineering practicality of the control scheme and reducing the risk of system failure.
[0027] Furthermore, the problem of traditional control models being unable to adapt to the time-varying and nonlinear characteristics of system parameters is solved, and the full-power range model ensures prediction accuracy at different power levels. By rolling optimization of multi-objective functions (minimizing fluctuations, shortening settling time, and reducing power deviation), synergistic optimization of multiple control objectives is achieved, rather than a one-sided improvement of a single objective. At the same time, using the control setpoints of the preceding steps as input ensures the continuity of MPC optimization and the overall control flow. The output optimized setpoint curves can provide smooth and accurate adjustment targets for each subsystem, avoiding system fluctuations caused by abrupt changes in control commands, and significantly improving the dynamic stability performance of the system.
[0028] Furthermore, the feasibility of the control scheme is enhanced, avoiding difficulties in engineering implementation caused by vague descriptions of important system parameters and actuator constraints. Specific parameters (such as energy storage input current and system inlet temperature) directly reflect the system's operating status, providing accurate real-time data support for the MPC prediction model; clear constraints (such as power regulation rate and charging / discharging current limits) ensure the feasibility of optimization commands and avoid control requirements that exceed the physical limits of the equipment. This constraint makes MPC optimization both accurate and safe, ensuring both regulation effectiveness and preventing damage to actuators due to excessive movement, thus improving the engineering practicality and reliability of the control scheme and providing clear operational standards for practical applications.
[0029] Furthermore, considering the inherent characteristics of this structure—strong coupling and high inertia—the control scheme was enhanced to be more targeted. While coaxial arrangement can improve system efficiency, it leads to significant interconnectedness among components, and adjustments to a single parameter can easily trigger cascading fluctuations. The control scheme corresponding to this invention, through multi-stage coordination, is perfectly suited to the characteristics of this structure. By coordinating load unloading control, power dispatch, and MPC optimization, it offsets the coupling interference caused by the coaxial arrangement, solving the pain point of high load tracking difficulty in this type of system. At the same time, the clear structural limitations avoid overgeneralization of the control scheme, ensuring precise scope of protection for the claims, covering both the target system and power generation systems with unrelated structures, thus improving the effectiveness of patent protection.
[0030] It is understood that the beneficial effects of the second to sixth aspects mentioned above can be found in the relevant descriptions in the first aspect mentioned above, and will not be repeated here.
[0031] In summary, this invention solves the control challenges of strong coupling, large inertia, and variable load in helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation systems by adopting a three-level coordinated control architecture combined with a graded unloading strategy, intelligent power dispatch, and MPC optimized control, thereby significantly improving system stability, safety, and dynamic performance.

[0042] This invention provides a coordinated control method for a helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system. Based on the energy balance relationship of the helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system, the invention designs the control logic for the unloading system, proposes a power dispatching method for the helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system, and establishes a control system based on model predictive control. This forms a coordinated control method based on energy balance and model predictive control. The designed coordinated control method can flexibly dispatch the power of the energy conversion system, the power of the energy storage system, the unloading power, and the rotational speed, thereby reducing power fluctuations in the power system, shortening the workload of the energy storage system, and extending the service life of the energy storage system.
[0043] Please see Figure 7 The present invention discloses a coordinated control method for a helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system, comprising the following steps: S1. An unloading system is used to ensure the safe operation of the energy storage system; Please see Figure 1 An unloading system is used to ensure the safe operation of the energy storage system, specifically: SOC ( k )for k The state of charge (SOC) of the energy storage system at any given moment. SOC ( k When )≥H0 (H0 is the opening point of unloading circuit 2), in order to prevent the energy storage battery from overcharging, the unloading circuit is connected to unload. when SOC ( k When H0 ≤ H2 (H2 is the opening point of unloading circuit 2), only unloading circuit 1 is connected, and unloading circuit 2 is not connected to reduce the power loss caused by unloading. With the connection of unloading circuit 1, excess power in the DC grid is unloaded, the energy storage battery begins to discharge to the grid, and the SOC of the energy storage system begins to decrease. To reduce the switching of the energy storage system's charging / discharging modes and extend the life of the energy storage battery, a closing point H1 for unloading circuit 1 is set below H0. SOC ( k When H1 ≤ H1, unloading circuit 1 is shut off, and the unloading system stops unloading.
[0044] If the load power and the power supplied by the grid are too low, it is difficult to unload the excess power in the DC grid only by the unloading circuit 1, resulting in the continuous increase of the SOC of the energy storage system, that is SOC ( k ) > H2, the unloading circuit 2 is connected for unloading to ensure the safe operation of the energy storage system. As the unloading circuit 2 is connected, the speed of unloading the excess power in the DC grid is accelerated, the energy storage battery starts to discharge to the grid, and the SOC of the energy storage system starts to decrease. When SOC ( k ) ≤ H0, the unloading circuit 2 is turned off, and the unloading circuit 1 remains connected. When SOC ( k ) ≤ H1, the unloading circuit 1 is turned off, and the unloading system stops unloading.
[0045] S2. Adjust the control setting values of each circuit through the power scheduling method of the helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system; Please refer to Figure 2 , and use the power scheduling method of the helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system to ensure the power balance of the grid. SOC ( k ), P n ( k ) are the SOC of the energy storage system and the power of the energy conversion system at time k respectively. The power scheduling method of the helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system is as follows: S201. When ΔP > 0, the power of the energy conversion system should be increased to increase the electric power transmitted by the generator to the grid, so that the power in the DC grid reaches balance again. At the same time, the energy storage system needs to output power to maintain the stable operation of the system. The specific control strategy is as follows: (1) When P n ( k ) ≤ H n (H n is the upper limit of the power of the energy conversion system), to maintain the power balance of the DC grid, the power of the energy conversion system should be increased. In this process, due to the large time delay of the energy conversion system, it is difficult to independently perform load tracking; if SOC ( k ) ≥ L0 (L0 is the lower limit of the power of the energy storage system during discharge), the energy storage system discharges to the DC grid to ensure the stable operation of the load; if SOC ( k ) < L0, to ensure the service life of the energy storage system, the energy storage system stops discharging. At this time, the user load power should be reduced to ensure the normal operation of the power system.
[0046] (2) When P n (k ) > H n When, to prevent excessive power from damaging the heat source and equipment in the energy conversion system and affecting the operation safety, the power of the energy conversion system should not be increased continuously at this time; if SOC ( k ) ≥ L0, the energy storage system discharges to the DC power grid to ensure the stable operation of the load; if SOC ( k ) < L0, to ensure the service life of the energy storage system, the energy storage system stops discharging. At this time, the user load should be reduced to ensure the normal operation of the power system.
[0047] S202. When ΔP < 0, the power of the energy conversion system should be reduced, thereby reducing the electric power transmitted by the generator to the power grid and making the power in the DC power grid reach balance again. The energy storage system needs to absorb power to maintain the stable operation of the system. The specific control strategy is as follows: (1) When P n ( k ) ≥ L n When (L n is the lower limit of the power of the energy conversion system), to maintain the power balance of the DC power grid, the power of the energy conversion system should be reduced. In this process, due to the large time delay of the energy conversion system, it is difficult to independently perform load tracking. If SOC ( k ) ≤ H0 (H0 is the upper limit of the power of the energy storage system during discharge), the energy storage system starts to absorb the excess power in the DC power grid to maintain the grid balance and ensure the stable operation of the load. If SOC ( k ) > H0, to ensure the service life of the energy storage system, by adding an additional load to the DC power grid to unload the excess power, load shedding should be performed at this time to prevent overcharging of the energy storage battery.
[0048] (2) When P n ( k ) < L n When, to prevent the power from being too low to cause the energy conversion system to be difficult to maintain the self-sustaining operation of the helium-xenon Brayton cycle and affect the operation safety, the power of the energy conversion system should not be reduced continuously at this time. If SOC ( k ) ≤ H0, the energy storage system starts to absorb the excess power in the DC power grid to maintain the grid balance and ensure the stable operation of the load. If SOC ( k ) > H0, to ensure the service life of the energy storage system, load shedding should be performed at this time, by adding an additional load to the DC power grid to unload the excess power and prevent overcharging of the energy storage battery.
[0049] S3. Utilize MPC to coordinate the dynamic balance between the energy conversion system, energy storage system, and load, ensuring the stable operation of the DC grid, solving the task of supervision, decision-making, and coordination, thereby improving the dynamic supply relationship of the grid.
[0050] The Dynamic Balancer (MPC) mechanism is used to coordinate the dynamic balance between the energy conversion system, energy storage system, and load, ensuring the stable operation of the DC grid and solving the coordination tasks of supervision, decision-making, and thus improving the dynamic supply relationship of the DC grid. Considering that load demand is variable and the dynamic characteristics of the energy conversion system change with power level factors, a full-power-range fused state-space model of a linear variable-parameter system is adopted as the prediction model to ensure the accuracy of the MPC prediction model. The objective function is continuously optimized at each step, providing optimized setpoint curves to each subsystem. Figure 3 A predictive control system for a helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system.
[0051] The model predictive control system for a helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system uses measured values of key system parameters, predicted energy changes, and actuator constraints as inputs. The MPC-based coordinated control layer utilizes prior knowledge from the state-space model across the entire power range, along with measured system parameters, to provide optimized setpoint variation curves, offering adjustment targets for each control loop. Because input and output constraints are considered during the solution process, the MPC controller can adjust the controller in advance, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the system within the prediction time domain.
[0052] In another embodiment of the present invention, a coordinated control system for a helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system is provided. This system can be used to implement the above-mentioned coordinated control method for a helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system. Specifically, the coordinated control system for a helium-xenon Brayton cycle power generation system includes a data module, a power module, and a coordination module.
[0053] The data module is used to acquire the state of charge (SOC) value of the energy storage system and control the opening and closing of the unloading circuit based on the SOC value. Power module, used to obtain power deviation ΔP The power deviation ΔP The difference between the load power and the grid power is calculated based on the power deviation. ΔP Based on the stated state of charge (SOC) value, adjust the power of the energy conversion system and the charging and discharging of the energy storage system; The coordination module is used to acquire the measured values of important system parameters, energy change prediction information, and actuator constraints, and to use Model Predictive Control (MPC) to coordinate and control the measured values, prediction information, and constraints.
[0054] This invention provides a terminal device comprising a processor and a memory. The memory stores a computer program, which includes program instructions. The processor executes the program instructions stored in the computer storage medium. The processor may be a Central Processing Unit (CPU), or other general-purpose processors, graphics processing units (GPUs), tensor processing units (TPUs), digital signal processors (DSPs), application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, etc. It is the computing and control core of the terminal, suitable for implementing one or more instructions, specifically suitable for loading and executing one or more instructions to achieve a corresponding method flow or corresponding function.
