Currently, gas turbines using premixed combustion can achieve NOx emissions as low as 50 mg / m³. 3 The following is a summary: Premixed combustion has a narrow combustion stability window, and even slight changes in combustion boundary conditions often lead to combustion instability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Furthermore, methods for obtaining pressure values ​​at different frequency bands in each combustion chamber of a gas turbine include: Pressure sensors are installed in each combustion chamber to collect pressure signals.

The bias determination module is used to determine whether the bias is higher than the preset value. If it is higher than the preset value, it will switch to manual adjustment. The fuel distribution module is used to adjust the fuel flow of the nozzle by adding offset when the offset is lower than the preset value, until the pressure value of different frequency bands in each combustion chamber is lower than the alarm value.

Attached Figure Description

[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram showing the location of the gas turbine nozzles; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the process of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, the GE 6FA gas turbine's combustion chamber adopts a ring-shaped structure, with the upper and lower halves of the combustion chamber shell connected as a single unit to the compressor and turbine's outer cylinder. Six burners are evenly and obliquely inserted into the combustion chamber shell along the unit's circumference. Each combustion chamber nozzle consists of five premixed nozzles (MP3, PM2, and a central standby nozzle (PM1)) arranged in a circle, and 15 quadrature nozzles located upstream. The fuel distribution ratio of these nozzles continuously changes with load variations. The opening degree of the PM3, PM2, PM1, and quadrature nozzles is determined by a linear relationship built into the control system, automatically adjusting with load increases and decreases. When preset parameters fail to meet requirements (e.g., sudden extreme weather or a sudden change in natural gas calorific value), the ratio of the aforementioned regulating valves needs to be adjusted continuously to ensure combustion stability while meeting emission standards.

[0017] like Figure 2 As shown, the automatic combustion adjustment method for a 6FA gas turbine of the present invention includes the following steps: Obtain key data for gas turbine operation, including: load "DWATT", compressor inlet temperature "ATID", total fuel flow rate "FQG", fuel temperature "FTG", NOx emission value "AFPPMVD", and PM1 distribution ratio "f". FSRPM1 PM3 allocation ratio FSRPM3 ", Quaternary allocation ratio" f FSRPMQ ".

[0018] Each combustion chamber is equipped with a pressure sensor. The pressure signal is acquired by the data acquisition system, and the signal is processed by FFT to obtain the pressure pulsation amplitude in four frequency bands: B, L, M, and H, covering pressure signals above 250Hz (10Hz-60Hz, 60Hz-130Hz, 130Hz-250Hz, and above 250Hz), respectively. The maximum amplitude in each frequency band of the six combustion chambers is taken and denoted as P. B P L P M P H These four values ​​can reflect the combustion stability of a gas turbine.

[0019] Create a key historical data table for the gas turbine, recording data at intervals of one second (the time interval can be defined, but should not exceed 10 seconds). The recorded data includes "DWATT", "ATID", "FQG", "FTG", "AFPPMVD", "FSRPM1", "FSRPM3", "FSRPMQ", and P. B P L P M P H .

[0020] Develop a general gas turbine fuel distribution strategy under which the flow rate percentage of each nozzle group changes with the gas turbine load and compressor inlet temperature.

[0021] According to the above scheme, the fuel flow rate formula for the PM3 nozzle is: Q PM3 =FQG×(f FSRPM3 (DWATT, ATID)-B PM3 ) The fuel flow rate formula for PM1 nozzles is: Q PM1 =(FQG-Q PM3 )×(f FSRPM1 (DWATT, ATID)-B PM1 ) The fuel flow rate formula for a quaternary nozzle is: Q quaternary =(FQG-Q PM1 -Q PM3 )×(f FSRPMQ (DWATT, ATID)-B PMQ ) The fuel flow rate formula for a PM2 nozzle is: Q PM2 =(FQG-Q PM3 -Q PM1 -Q quaternary ); Calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient for each parameter in the table at regular intervals (e.g., once a month). (Other correlation coefficients can be selected, such as Kendall correlation coefficient or Spearman correlation coefficient.)

[0022] Record the correlation coefficient R as follows PM1,PB R PM1,PL R PM1,PM R PM1,PH R PM3,PB R PM3,PL R PM3,PM R PM3,PH R PMQ,PB R PMQ,PL R PMQ,PM R PMQ,PH .

[0023] When the system detects P B If the value exceeds the alarm threshold of 0.65, execute: B PM3= O PM3 ×R PM3,PB B PM1= O PM1 ×R PM1,PB B PMQ= O PMQ ×R PMQ,PB .

[0024] When the system detects P L If the value exceeds the alarm threshold of 0.55, execute: B PM3= O PM3 ×R PM3,PL B PM1= O PM1 ×R PM1,PL B PMQ= O PMQ ×R PMQ,PL .

[0025] When the system detects P M If the value exceeds the alarm threshold of 0.45, execute: B PM3= O PM3 ×R PM3,PM BPM1= O PM1 ×R PM1,PM B PMQ= O PMQ ×R PMQ,PM .

[0026] When the system detects P H If the value exceeds the alarm threshold of 0.35, execute: B PM3= O PM3 ×R PM3,PH B PM1= O PM1 ×R PM1,PH B PMQ= O PMQ ×R PMQ,PH .

[0027] The above O PM3 O PM1 O PMQ It is the baseline value for each adjustment step, which can be set freely; B PM3 It is the offset of the PM3 nozzle, B PM1 It is the offset of the PM1 nozzle, B PMQ This is the offset of the Quaternary nozzle. The offset is used to adjust the fuel flow rate of the nozzle in the aforementioned fuel distribution strategy until the pressure in each combustion chamber falls below the alarm value.

[0028] Adjust the parameter settings as follows: Automatic adjustment is allowed when DWATT > 30MW. O PM3 O PM1 O PMQ The recommended baseline value is 0.03. When an alarm is detected in a certain frequency band, an adjustment procedure is executed every 10 seconds until the pressure amplitude of the certain frequency band falls below the alarm value.

[0029] B PM3 The absolute value of B > 0.05 PM1 The absolute value of B is greater than 0.04. PMQ If the absolute value is greater than 0.04, the program exits and displays the message "Adjustment invalid".
