Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent control of generator sets, specifically relating to a data-driven primary frequency regulation mode control system and method for coal-fired power units. Background Technology

[0002] As the proportion of installed capacity from renewable energy sources continues to increase, their intermittent and fluctuating characteristics exacerbate the risk of grid frequency fluctuations. Traditional coal-fired power units, as the mainstay of stable power supply, need to shoulder more responsibility for system regulation to offset the uncertainties of renewable energy. Coal-fired power is transitioning from a primary power source to a basic, guaranteed, and system-regulating power source. Against this backdrop, the primary frequency regulation capability of coal-fired power units has become a key support for maintaining grid stability.

[0003] The limitations of existing control technologies are becoming increasingly apparent, mainly for the following reasons: 1) Limitations of traditional control strategies: Current mainstream control relies on preset parameters (such as speed inequality and dead zone settings), making it difficult to dynamically adapt to complex operating conditions. In actual operation, problems such as response lag and large overshoot are prone to occur, especially during high load periods, when the turbine control valve opening is limited, resulting in insufficient regulation margin.

[0004] 2) The dilemma of multi-objective coordination: Frequency regulation needs to balance response speed, stability, and economy. Simply increasing the frequency regulation reserve capacity will increase throttling losses; while excessive pursuit of economy may lead to regulation lag. Traditional manual parameter tuning methods can no longer meet the needs of refined control.

[0005] For the reasons mentioned above, it is urgent to develop a data-driven primary frequency regulation mode control system and method for coal-fired power units, so as to comprehensively improve the evaluation index requirements for frequency regulation performance and strengthen the assessment of dimensions such as response time and power contribution. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a data-driven primary frequency regulation mode control system and method for coal-fired power units. Through data acquisition and intelligent algorithms, the control parameters are dynamically optimized and the operating conditions are adapted, ultimately improving the stability and economy of the unit's frequency regulation performance. This is a key technological innovation direction to meet the challenges of new power systems, break through traditional control bottlenecks, and meet policy and regulatory requirements.

When the output of the first AND module is 1, the output of the first switching module is a value of the real-time frequency modulation response quality based on data driving. When the output of the first AND module is 0, the output of the first switching module is 0.

[0014] A further improvement of the present invention is that it further includes: The value obtained by the first switching module after calculation by the first function module is applied to the "Pv1" terminal of the second switching module. At the same time, a frequency modulation action is applied to the first delay module and the first pulse module respectively. When the output results of the first delay module and the first pulse module are both 1, the output terminal of the first AND module is 1; otherwise, the output terminal of the first AND module is 0. When the frequency modulation load is 1 and the output terminal of the second AND module is 1, the output of the second switching module is the output value of the first function module; otherwise, the output of the second switching module is 0.
