Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pumped storage power station engineering technology, and in particular to a method for designing the shape of the turning section of the water intake system of a pumped storage power station by combining the vertical shaft and the surge tank. Background Technology

[0002] The combined arrangement of surge tanks and vertical shafts in pumped storage power stations reduces the number of vertical shafts from two to one. This optimizes construction, allowing for the use of a single set of equipment for both the surge tank and the vertical shaft. Furthermore, maintenance facilities can be installed on the top platform of the surge tank for convenient maintenance and repair of the vertical shaft. This is a growing trend in pumped storage power station layouts and has broad application prospects. However, compared to conventional arrangements, the combined arrangement of the surge tank and the intake shaft in pumped storage power stations involves a more unique flow channel layout, more complex flow field, and fewer engineering examples of this combination. There is also a lack of systematic theoretical research on the optimization of the design and hydraulic characteristics of this combined arrangement.

[0003] Many scholars have made pioneering contributions to the analysis of the hydraulic characteristics and design of surge tanks in pumped storage power stations. Liu et al. used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to conduct three-dimensional numerical simulations of T-shaped branch surge tanks and compared the results with empirical formulas from model tests, verifying that CFD methods can accurately reveal the hydraulic characteristics of the corresponding surge tank structure and can be reliably used in surge tank design. Chen et al. used CFD methods to conduct numerical simulations of several typical surge tanks and found that the simulated surge tank loss coefficients had the same accuracy as those obtained from conventional hydraulic model tests, thus applying CFD methods to surge tank design calculations. Hua et al. used CFD methods to simulate the flow field and flow regime of the tailrace surge tank in a pumped storage power station, obtaining the flow regime and pressure distribution patterns inside the surge tank, providing a reference for surge tank design. In general, previous research on the hydraulic characteristics of surge tanks in pumped storage power stations has mainly focused on the arrangement of surge tanks without integrated surge wells, and has studied the local shape and bottom flow channel of the surge tank in isolation. Research on the combined arrangement of surge tanks and vertical shafts is relatively limited, and even less research has been conducted on the shape design and hydraulic characteristics of the combined area. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the design and construction of surge tanks in pumped storage power stations by studying the hydraulic characteristics and structural optimization of the combined arrangement of water intake shafts and surge wells, in order to further promote the rapid construction and efficient operation of pumped storage power stations. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a design method for the shape of the turning section of the water intake system of a pumped storage power station, which combines vertical shafts and surge tanks, and to reveal the influence of different surge tank layout shapes on the constant flow hydrodynamic characteristics.

[0016] In this invention, to ensure the stability of the monitoring data, the control section (section) should be set away from locations of structural abrupt changes such as branch pipes (e.g., the junction of a bend and a pressure regulating shaft), and should preferably be 3 to 5 times the diameter of the corresponding section away from the location of structural abrupt changes.

[0017] The surge calculation process for the surge chamber includes:

[0018] A monitoring point is set above the center of the impedance orifice, with pressure P at the monitoring point. The change in the surge water level in the surge chamber is determined by the change in pressure at the monitoring point. The expression for the surge water level Z in the surge chamber is given. , The elevation of the monitoring point.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] This embodiment provides a method for designing and optimizing the shape of the turning section in the combined arrangement of vertical shafts and surge tanks in the water intake system of a pumped storage power station. The method includes steps S1-S4, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the details are as follows:

[0036] S1 establishes a three-dimensional model of the water diversion system shaft and surge tank with and without combined arrangement. The calculation area of ​​the three-dimensional model is from the water inlet of the upstream water diversion tunnel to the surge tank and then to the unit inlet.

[0037] S2 meshes the 3D volumetric calculation region from step S1, determines boundary conditions, and sets monitoring points and surfaces to monitor data such as flow velocity and pressure, employing the finite volume method and Realizable... A comprehensive CFD calculation model was established for the turbulence model.

[0038] S3, based on the CFD calculation model in step S2, performs steady flow calculation analysis on the layout of vertical shafts and surge tanks in different water diversion systems. It acquires data such as flow velocity and pressure at monitoring points and surfaces under steady flow conditions, and analyzes the flow field characteristics, including velocity vectors and pressure distribution at the junctions, as well as the head loss coefficients at bends and surge tanks.

[0039] Building upon the steady-flow calculations in S3, S4 continues to conduct transient flow calculations and analyses for different layouts of vertical shafts and surge tanks in water diversion systems. It acquires data on flow velocity and pressure at monitoring points and surfaces under transient flow conditions, and analyzes hydraulic design parameters for surge tanks, such as surge waves and water breakdown coefficients, for different combined layout configurations.

[0040] More preferably, in step S1, the three-dimensional shape is constructed as follows:

[0041] The calculation area for the shape of the pumped storage power station's water intake system shaft and surge tank combined arrangement and non-combined arrangement is the entire water intake system, from the water intake tunnel inlet to the surge tank and then to the generator inlet. In the combined arrangement, the water intake shaft and surge tank are connected by a connecting pipe at the bend. In the non-combined arrangement, only the centerline of the surge tank is shifted along the water intake tunnel; all other parameters remain the same.

[0042] More preferably, in step S2, the CFD calculation model is performed as follows:

[0043] The three-dimensional computational domain established based on S1 was entirely meshed using hexahedral meshes, with mesh refinement applied to complex local areas. Mesh independence was verified considering computational accuracy, economics, and computation time. The turbulence model was implemented. Realizable model The coupling of pressure and velocity was performed using the SIMPLE algorithm, the velocity discretization scheme was second-order upwind, and the finite volume method (FVM) was used to discretize the computational domain and the governing equations into a series of control volumes (Yang Yang. Three-dimensional simulation calculation of groundwater pollution based on Fluent [D]. Jilin University, 2008).

[0044] More preferably, in step S2, the turbulence model is performed as follows:

[0045] The turbulence model includes equations for turbulent kinetic energy and turbulent dissipation rate, as shown below. Based on these equations, the flow characteristics in complex flow fields can be effectively captured, and data such as velocity and pressure at various points in the flow field can be obtained. This provides a reliable theoretical basis and numerical support for subsequent calculations of steady and transient flows.

[0051] Based on the S2 calculation model, and given the steady flow calculation boundary, monitoring surfaces such as surge tanks and bends are set up to monitor flow velocity and pressure, obtaining velocity vector distribution and pressure distribution maps to study the flow field characteristics such as velocity and pressure. Based on the acquired flow velocity and pressure data, the head loss coefficients of bends and surge tanks are calculated. The loss coefficients are obtained using the following methods:

[0052] The hydraulic losses at sections 1-1 and 2-2 are selected as follows: From the energy equation, we get:

[0055] For density, It is the acceleration due to gravity. To control the head loss coefficient between sections 1 and 2,

[0056] When the control section is located on both sides of the pressure regulating chamber, This is the flow coefficient.

[0057] More preferably, in step S4, the transient flow calculation and analysis are performed in the following manner:

[0058] Based on the S3 steady flow calculation, we will continue to carry out transient flow calculation and analysis, study the flow field characteristics such as velocity and pressure in the bend section and the surge tank under transient flow, obtain data such as flow velocity and pressure, and conduct comparative analysis on surge wave and water breakdown coefficient of surge tank under different layout forms.

[0059] The surge wave in the pressure regulating chamber is obtained using the following method:

[0060] A monitoring point is set above the center of the impedance orifice. By acquiring the pressure change data P at this point under transient flow, the change in surge water level in the surge chamber is obtained, and the expression for the surge chamber water level is derived. , The elevation of the monitoring point.

[0061] The water breakdown chamber coefficient is obtained by following these steps:

[0062] Based on data such as flow velocity and pressure at the monitoring surface, the formula for calculating the water breakdown chamber coefficient is as follows:

[0063]

[0064]

The Darcy-Weisbach coefficient of friction. The diameter of the pipe. The propagation speed of the pressure wave, The angle between the pipe and the horizontal plane.

[0066] Ignoring the compressibility of water and the friction of the pipe, it can be simplified to:

[0067]

[0068]

[0069] The basic equation for water hammer is:

[0070]

Let be the propagation velocity of the pressure wave at section 1-1. Let be the propagation velocity of the pressure wave at section 2-2.

[0076] Water breakdown chamber coefficient It can be represented as: .

[0077] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. Taking a pumped storage power station with a combination of vertical shaft and surge tank in a water diversion system as an example, the method of the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. Basic data of the power station: Elevation of the bottom plate of the surge tank is 579.0m, elevation of the bottom plate of the inlet is 594.0m, diameter of the surge tank well is 16m, pipe diameter is 9.5m, radius of the turning section is 10m, and diameter of the connecting pipe is 5m.

[0078] CFD calculations for steady flow conditions require a considerable amount of time to converge, unlike one-dimensional transient process calculations which can instantly obtain the initial steady flow field results. Before calculating the large-fluctuation transient process, the flow field was simulated for 1500 seconds with boundary conditions given for one-dimensional steady flow to obtain more accurate initial flow field conditions. The flow boundary conditions for the unit under the extreme surge condition in the surge chamber are as follows: Figure 3 As shown. To ensure stable monitoring data, monitoring surfaces should be located away from locations of structural abrupt changes, such as branch pipes. Each monitoring surface should be positioned as follows: Figure 4As shown in Figure 5, during the steady flow stage, there is no water exchange between the pipeline and the surge tank; the focus is on the connection between the bend and the vertical shaft. During the steady flow stage, power generation and pumping correspond to two flow regimes: water flowing towards the generator unit and water flowing towards the upstream reservoir, respectively. The flow field, flow regime, and pressure distribution at the connection are relatively regular, with no local anomalies. When the steady flow passes through the bend, the head loss is mainly localized at the bend, and the head loss coefficients for the bend are shown in Table 1. Ignoring friction loss caused by the monitoring surface location, the head loss coefficients are close to those calculated using empirical formulas, demonstrating the reliability of computational fluid dynamics methods for calculating head loss.

[0079] Table 1 Calculation of head loss at bends

[0080]

[0081] Pumped-storage hydropower stations bear the main responsibility for power grid peak shaving and frequency regulation. Load changes are more frequent, and unit operating conditions constantly shift between different operating points. This involves water flowing in and out of surge tanks. The flow pattern and the head loss coefficient of the surge tanks are as follows: Figure 6 As shown in Table 2.

[0082] Table 2 Head loss coefficient of surge tank well

[0083]

[0084] This study analyzes the comparison of surge water levels in surge chambers with different combined layout configurations. First, a monitoring point was established 3m above the center of the impedance orifice in the surge well of the power station, and its pressure P was monitored. Then, a simulation was performed using one-dimensional calculated flow rate change as the inlet boundary condition. Once the residuals of the governing equations converged below the threshold, the time-varying patterns of the surge water level in the surge chamber under the highest and lowest surge conditions were obtained. A comparison of surge water levels in surge chambers with different combined layout configurations is provided. Figure 7 As shown, the highest surge conditions for the two types of water level fluctuations have similar surge cycles, while the lowest surge conditions show that the lowest surge in the non-combined arrangement is lower than that in the combined arrangement.

[0085] In order to obtain the water breakdown chamber coefficient of the bottom pipeline of the surge tank, the flow velocity and piezometric head of the corresponding water diversion tunnel section and pressure pipeline section are monitored to obtain the water breakdown chamber coefficient of the pipeline under different working conditions. The water breakdown chamber coefficient is mainly related to the shape of the surge tank. Figure 8 To compare the water breakdown chamber coefficients of different layout types, it was found that the water breakdown chamber coefficient was smaller in the combined layout than in the non-combined layout, indicating that the combined layout of water diversion and surge tank has a better effect on water hammer wave reflection.
