Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydropower station engineering technology, and in particular to a method, system, and readable storage medium for generating hydraulic characteristic curves of impulse turbine units. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing technology, the main methods for obtaining the hydraulic characteristics of impulse turbines include model testing and computational fluid dynamics numerical simulation.

[0003] Model testing requires physical modeling, multi-condition testing, and data correction, resulting in a long characteristic curve generation cycle. This cannot meet the need for rapid iteration in the preliminary design stage of hydropower stations. Furthermore, model data for specific parameters is often missing in the early stages of a project.

[0004] Although computational fluid dynamics numerical simulation is becoming increasingly mature, it still requires significant computational resources and expertise, and the computation process remains time-consuming.

[0005] Furthermore, as impulse turbines develop towards ultra-high head and large capacity, existing technologies, which address issues such as distorted physical test data for specific units leading to inaccurate simulations of the transient process, are no longer adequate for engineering design requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for generating hydraulic characteristic curves specifically for the jet-runner interaction mechanism of impulse turbines, in order to solve the technical problem that existing technologies cannot quickly and accurately generate full characteristic curves of turbines for hydropower station design and transient process calculations when model test data is lacking.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] Firstly, a method for generating hydraulic characteristic curves of an impulse turbine unit is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0009] Configure the target turbine's operating head and runner diameter;

[0010] Several operating points are configured, which are used to indicate the nozzle opening and runner speed of the target water turbine;

[0011] Based on the working head and impeller diameter, the theoretical nozzle flow rate at each working point is iteratively updated to obtain the theoretical nozzle flow rate corresponding to the working head at each working point.

[0012] Based on the theoretical nozzle flow rate, calculate the characteristic parameters corresponding to the operating point.

[0013] The corresponding hydraulic characteristic curves are generated by fitting the characteristic parameters corresponding to each operating point.

[0014] This invention achieves precise point-by-point calculation of internal flow losses in impulse turbines by comparing theoretical head with operating head and iteratively adjusting the flow rate until convergence. This iterative mechanism, combined with fitting the full characteristic curve based on the convergent operating point, is not a simple transfer or adaptive modification of calculation methods for mixed-flow turbines, but rather a novel and dedicated theoretical calculation and iterative fitting technique specifically designed for the jet-runner interaction mechanism unique to impulse turbines. This method fills the technical gap in rapidly predicting the hydraulic characteristics of impulse turbines theoretically when model test data is lacking.

[0015] As one possible implementation method, the specific steps for iteratively calculating the theoretical nozzle flow rate at the current operating point are as follows:

[0016] Based on the nozzle opening and rotor speed corresponding to the current operating point, as well as the first nozzle flow rate, calculate the net water head corresponding to the current operating point, where the first nozzle flow rate is the initial nozzle flow rate or the second nozzle flow rate obtained in the previous iteration step.

[0017] Calculate the inlet impact head loss and the runner friction head loss, and calculate the total head loss based on the inlet impact head loss and the runner friction head loss;

[0018] The theoretical head is calculated based on the net head and the total head loss.

[0019] The direction and absolute difference of the difference are determined based on the theoretical head and the working head.

[0020] Whether convergence is determined based on the absolute difference:

[0021] When convergence is determined, the first nozzle flow rate is taken as the theoretical nozzle flow rate at the current operating point;

[0022] When convergence is not achieved, the first nozzle flow rate is optimized based on the difference direction to obtain the corresponding second nozzle flow rate, and the second nozzle flow rate is used as the first nozzle flow rate for the next iteration step.

[0023] As one possible implementation method, the specific steps for calculating the net water head corresponding to the current operating point, based on the nozzle opening and impeller speed, and the flow rate of the first nozzle, are as follows:

[0024] Determine the effective outflow area of ​​the nozzle based on the nozzle opening at the current operating point:

[0025] Based on the flow rate of the first nozzle, calculate the absolute jet velocity and the circumferential velocity at the current operating point;

[0026] Based on the absolute jet velocity and the rotational circumferential velocity, calculate the tangential component of the absolute jet velocity and the tangential component of the absolute outflow velocity:

[0027] The corresponding net head is calculated based on the tangential component of the absolute jet velocity and the tangential component of the absolute outflow velocity.

[0028] Existing methods for generating hydraulic characteristics of mixed-flow turbines have been proposed, but they are mostly based on the assumption of continuous flow within the flow channel and employ calculation modes that combine conformal transformation, flow channel segmentation, one-dimensional Euler equations, and head losses of various components. However, the working mechanism of impulse turbines is fundamentally different from that of mixed-flow turbines: impulse turbines rely on high-speed jets to impact the runner buckets, and the flow pattern is an intermittent interaction between free jets and discrete buckets. The energy conversion process is mainly manifested as the direct conversion of jet momentum into runner mechanical energy. Therefore, the core calculation elements in mixed-flow turbines are not applicable to impulse turbines.

[0029] This invention, targeting the energy conversion and internal flow characteristics of impulse turbines, proposes an original method for calculating net head and corresponding head loss, enabling the theoretical head and theoretical nozzle flow rate at each operating point obtained through iterative calculation to closely match reality, thereby obtaining accurate and effective hydraulic characteristic curves.

[0030] As one possible implementation method, the specific steps for determining convergence based on the absolute difference are as follows:

[0031] If the absolute difference is greater than the preset convergence tolerance, it is determined that the convergence has not occurred;

[0032] If the absolute difference is less than or equal to the preset convergence tolerance, the iteration is considered to have converged.

[0033] The convergence tolerance is set based on the working head.

[0034] As one possible implementation method, the configuration method for operating points is as follows:

[0035] Set several nozzle openings and several wheel speeds, and combine the nozzle openings and wheel speeds in pairs to obtain the corresponding operating points.

[0036] As one possible implementation method, the characteristic parameters include:

[0037] The characteristic parameters include the turbine's total efficiency, net output, unit speed, unit flow rate, and unit output at the corresponding operating points.

[0038] in:

[0039] Calculate the corresponding total turbine efficiency based on the obtained theoretical head and working head;

[0040] Calculate the corresponding net output based on the obtained theoretical nozzle flow rate and theoretical head;

[0041] Calculate the corresponding unit speed based on the obtained theoretical head, runner speed, and runner diameter;

[0042] Calculate the corresponding unit flow rate based on the obtained theoretical head, theoretical nozzle flow rate, and runner diameter;

[0043] Calculate the corresponding unit output based on the obtained theoretical head, runner diameter, and net output.

[0044] As one possible implementation method, based on the characteristic parameters corresponding to each operating point, the corresponding hydraulic characteristic curve of the impulse turbine is generated by fitting using the least squares method.

[0045] Secondly, a system for generating hydraulic characteristic curves for impulse turbine units is provided, comprising:

[0046] The user configuration module is used to configure the working head and runner diameter of the target turbine; it is also used to configure several operating points, which are used to indicate the nozzle opening and runner speed of the target turbine.

[0047] The iterative update module is used to iteratively update the theoretical nozzle flow rate at each operating point based on the working head and the impeller diameter, so as to obtain the theoretical nozzle flow rate corresponding to the working head at each operating point.

[0048] The calculation module is used to calculate the characteristic parameters corresponding to the corresponding operating point based on the theoretical nozzle flow rate.

[0049] The fitting module is used to fit and generate corresponding hydraulic characteristic curves based on the characteristic parameters corresponding to each operating point.

[0050] As one possible implementation, the iterative update module includes:

[0051] The head calculation unit is used to calculate the head corresponding to the current operating point based on the nozzle opening and wheel speed corresponding to the current operating point, as well as the first nozzle flow rate, where the first nozzle flow rate is the initial nozzle flow rate or the second nozzle flow rate obtained in the previous iteration step.

[0052] The loss calculation unit is used to calculate the inlet impact head loss and the runner friction head loss, and to calculate the total head loss based on the inlet impact head loss and the runner friction head loss;

[0053] The theoretical head calculation unit is used to calculate the theoretical head based on the net head and the total head loss;

[0054] The difference calculation unit is used to determine the direction and absolute difference of the difference based on the theoretical head and the working head.

[0055] The convergence determination unit is used to determine whether convergence has occurred based on the absolute difference; it is also used to take the first nozzle flow rate as the theoretical nozzle flow rate of the current operating point when convergence is determined; and it is also used to optimize the first nozzle flow rate based on the difference direction to obtain the corresponding second nozzle flow rate when convergence is determined not to have occurred, and take the second nozzle flow rate as the first nozzle flow rate of the next iteration step.

[0056] Thirdly, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, wherein a computer program is stored therein, and when the computer program is executed by a processor, it implements the method for generating hydraulic characteristic curves of impulse turbine units as described in any one of the above-mentioned methods.

[0057] This invention, by adopting the above technical solutions, has significant technical effects:

[0058] This invention achieves precise point-by-point calculation of internal flow losses in an impulse turbine by comparing theoretical head with operating head and iteratively adjusting the flow rate until convergence. The combination of this iterative mechanism and the fitting of the full characteristic curve based on the convergence point is not a simple superposition of existing technologies, but a dedicated algorithm designed specifically for the jet-runner interaction characteristics of impulse turbines. No existing technology has applied such an iterative convergence method to the generation of the full characteristic curve of an impulse turbine, nor has it disclosed a technical solution based on fitting isoefficiency curves using unit parameters. Therefore, the technical solution of this invention has outstanding substantive features and significant progress. Attached Figure Description

[0078] The specific calculation steps are as follows:

[0079] S311. Determine the effective outflow area of ​​the nozzle based on the nozzle opening at the current operating point:

[0080] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the formula for calculating the effective outflow area A(τ) of the nozzle is:

[0092] The velocity triangles at the inlet and outlet of a bucket turbine are as follows: Figure 4 As shown;

[0093] In this embodiment, the relative jet velocity W1 is calculated using a vector method, reflecting the relative motion relationship between the jet and the runner. This is the starting point for energy conversion in the impulse turbine. The vector calculation formula is as follows:

[0094]

[0095] in, It is a vector equation for the relative jet velocity. For absolute jet velocity vector equation, This is a vector equation for circumferential velocity. This embodiment is based on the momentum theorem, calculating the relative outflow velocity W2 based on the relative jet velocity W1. The calculation formula is:

[0096] W2 = kW1;

[0097] This loss model is specifically designed for flow inside impact buckets, and differs from the friction loss formula in mixed-flow systems.

[0098] Where k is the velocity coefficient, which is set to 0.98 in this embodiment to characterize friction loss; W1 is the relative jet velocity.

[0099] This embodiment calculates the absolute outflow velocity V2 based on the bucket geometry and the bucket outlet angle β2, and based on the relative outflow velocity W2:

[0100] That is, given the geometric outlet angle β2 of the water bucket, the absolute outflow velocity V2 is calculated using a vector formula, demonstrating the geometric guiding effect of the impact water bucket:

[0101]

[0102] in For absolute outflow velocity vector equation, This is a relative outflow velocity vector equation. It is a vector form of circumferential velocity.

[0103] In this embodiment, the first angle α1 between the absolute jet velocity V1 and the circumferential velocity U is obtained based on vector relationships. The second angle α2 between the absolute outflow velocity V2 and the circumferential velocity U can also be obtained based on vector relationships. The tangential component V of the absolute jet velocity V1 is then calculated based on the absolute jet velocity V1 and the first angle α1. u1 The tangential component V of the absolute outflow velocity is calculated based on the absolute outflow velocity V2 and the second included angle α2. u2 :

[0149] Case Study:

[0150] In this case, the working head H = 834m and the runner diameter D1 = 4.766m;

[0151] The nozzle opening τ sequence is (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0);

[0152] The rotor speed n sequence is (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600) r / min;

[0153] Let each nozzle opening correspond to 13 rotation speed values, and combine them to obtain the corresponding operating points, that is, there are a total of 4×13=52 operating points (τ,n).

[0154] The characteristic curves of the corresponding impulse turbine unit are obtained according to the above-mentioned method for generating hydraulic characteristic curves of impulse turbine units, wherein the characteristic curves are... Figure 5 As shown;

[0155] To verify the consistency between the calculated unit characteristics and the actual unit characteristics, the hydraulic transient process was calculated using the calculated unit characteristics (this is a mature existing technology and will not be described in detail in this specification). The calculated results were then compared with the measured results. The results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the error of the calculation results is within 2%, which demonstrates that the method for generating hydraulic characteristic curves of impulse turbine units provided by this invention has high fidelity and accuracy.

[0156] In summary, this embodiment achieves precise point-by-point calculation of the internal flow losses of an impulse turbine by comparing the theoretical head with the operating head and iteratively adjusting the flow rate until convergence. This iterative mechanism, combined with fitting the full characteristic curve based on the convergence point, is not a simple transfer or adaptive modification of the calculation method for mixed-flow turbines, but rather a novel and dedicated theoretical calculation and iterative fitting technique specifically designed for the jet-runner interaction mechanism unique to impulse turbines. This method fills the technical gap in rapidly predicting the hydraulic characteristics of impulse turbines when model test data is lacking.
