Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of data processing and analysis, and in particular to a method, system, equipment, medium and product for safety monitoring of water-cooled walls in supercritical boiler furnaces. Background Technology

[0002] Supercritical boilers constitute the vast majority of in-service thermal power units. New power systems place higher demands on the deep peak-shaving capacity, rapid load increases and decreases, and frequent start-stop capabilities of thermal power units, requiring them to operate flexibly. During the flexible operation of supercritical boilers, the furnace water-cooled walls become high-risk components due to drastic heat load fluctuations, susceptibility to water circulation failures, and the high-temperature corrosive environment.

[0003] Traditional mechanical expansion indicators and strain gauges have failed to establish effective data utilization and correlation mechanisms for acquiring expansion and displacement data and stress analysis. As a result, they cannot effectively reflect the stress situation of the furnace water-cooled wall caused by expansion and heat load changes during flexible operation. This leads to the failure of the furnace water-cooled wall due to stress concentration during flexible operation. Summary of the Invention

Attached Figure Description

[0011] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application or the prior art, the drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this application. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0012] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for safety monitoring of the water-cooled wall of a supercritical boiler furnace according to one embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a supercritical boiler furnace water-cooled wall safety monitoring system according to one embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0013] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0014] To make the objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0015] The furnace water-cooled wall system experiences relatively large pressure variations and significant working fluid temperature differences during the flexible operation of a supercritical boiler. This means that the water-cooled wall system experiences substantial internal pressure stress and temperature difference stress during frequent boiler start-ups and shutdowns, deep peak shaving, and rapid load increases and decreases, making the water-cooled wall tubes prone to fatigue. Simultaneously, during deep peak shaving and start-ups / shutdowns, the large-area expansion and contraction of the water-cooled wall tubes due to furnace heat load changes easily leads to restraint stress, especially when local expansion is hindered, resulting in excessive local structural stress that can cause tearing or fatigue. With the accumulation of damage, the high stress caused by peak shaving and start-ups / shutdowns makes the membrane water-cooled wall tubes more susceptible to failure. Therefore, tearing and other problems arising from large-area membrane heating surfaces during frequent start-ups and shutdowns and deep peak shaving boiler operation require close attention.

[0016] To reduce unplanned shutdowns of boiler units caused by furnace water-cooled wall failures, this application involves installing electronic expansion indicators and heat flow meters at multiple locations on the furnace water-cooled wall to monitor its expansion, displacement, and heat flow. The monitoring data is transmitted to a stress data analysis system, which performs real-time assessments based on the stress analysis results. This allows for timely detection of the stress status of the furnace water-cooled wall tubes during boiler operation, enabling safety monitoring based on the stress status to determine whether an early warning is needed and reduce the occurrence of furnace water-cooled wall tube failures.

[0017] This application uses an electronic expansion indicator to transmit the expansion and displacement of the furnace water-cooled wall in real time, a heat flow meter to monitor and transmit the real-time heat load data of the water-cooled wall tubes, and a stress data analysis system to analyze the expansion, displacement and heat load data of the water-cooled wall to determine the stress condition of the water-cooled wall tubes. Combined with the system's preset threshold range, it achieves safe monitoring of the furnace water-cooled wall.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a method for safety monitoring of the water-cooled wall of a supercritical boiler furnace, which includes setting electronic expansion indicators and heat flow meters at multiple different locations on the water-cooled wall of the furnace, comprising: S1: Real-time acquisition of monitoring data from the electronic expansion indicator and the heat flow meter; the monitoring data includes expansion indication, displacement, and heat flow data.

[0019] S2: Perform stress analysis on the monitoring data based on the stress data analysis system to determine the stress analysis results; the stress analysis results include analysis results of mechanical stress, thermal stress, and the combined stress of mechanical stress and thermal stress.

[0020] S3: Based on the stress analysis results and the preset threshold range corresponding to the stress at the monitoring point of the furnace water-cooled wall, monitor the stress condition of the furnace water-cooled wall and determine whether an early warning is needed.

[0021] This application obtains monitoring data from multiple electronic expansion indicators and heat flow meters located at different positions on the water-cooled wall of the boiler furnace. The data is transmitted to a stress data analysis system for stress analysis. Based on the setting parameters of the electronic expansion indicators and heat flow meters, a preset threshold range corresponding to the electronic expansion indicators and heat flow meters is determined. If the stress result data obtained by the stress data analysis system from the monitoring data of the electronic expansion indicators and heat flow meters exceeds the preset threshold range corresponding to the stress data analysis system, the preset threshold range corresponding to the analysis result data of the stress data analysis system is determined. Based on the preset threshold range, a prompt message is output to indicate the warning corresponding to the preset threshold range.

[0022] This application determines whether to provide an early warning by analyzing the stress data from multiple electronic expansion indicators and heat flow meters installed on the water-cooled walls of supercritical power plant boilers. This allows for direct access to the safe operating status of the water-cooled walls during flexible operation through the data from the electronic expansion indicators and heat flow meters installed on the boiler, effectively ensuring the safe operation of the water-cooled walls in supercritical power plant boilers.

[0023] In one exemplary embodiment, the electronic expansion indicator and the heat flow meter are connected to the stress data analysis system via a signal transmitter.

[0024] In practical applications, multiple electronic expansion indicators and heat flow meters are installed at different locations on the furnace water-cooled wall to monitor different data at different locations on the furnace water-cooled wall. The data collected at each location is transmitted in real time to the stress data analysis system for stress analysis.

[0025] Among them, each electronic expansion indicator and heat flow meter can be directly connected to the stress data analysis system through modules such as signal transmitters.

[0026] In an exemplary embodiment, S1 further includes: S11: Determine the preset threshold range of the electronic expansion indicator and the heat flow meter based on historical data matching the location; the preset threshold range includes the expansion indication range, the displacement range, and the heat flow range.

[0027] In practical applications, even if electronic expansion indicators and heat flow meters of the same type are located at different positions, their corresponding normal preset threshold ranges may differ. For example, the threshold values ​​of electronic expansion indicators and heat flow meters at different elevations of the furnace water-cooled wall are different. The warning threshold is the boundary value when the normal threshold range is exceeded, while the normal threshold range is the preset threshold range.

[0028] Therefore, the expansion indication, displacement data, and heat load data setting parameters of each electronic expansion indicator and heat flow meter are determined, and a corresponding preset threshold range is determined for each electronic expansion indicator and heat flow meter based on the setting parameters, so as to determine whether the data monitored by the electronic expansion indicator and heat flow meter needs to be warned before stress analysis based on the preset threshold range.

[0029] In one exemplary embodiment, the preset threshold ranges of the electronic expansion indicator and the heat flow meter differ at different elevations.

[0030] In an exemplary embodiment, the stress analysis process in S2 specifically includes: The stress data analysis system extracts and analyzes expansion indication data under different load conditions through electronic expansion indicators installed on the water-cooled walls of the boiler furnace. It compares the displacement data before and after expansion, and calculates mechanical stress by combining the mechanical property parameters of the material (which can be obtained from manuals) through the functional modules of the stress data analysis system.

[0031] The stress data analysis system extracts and analyzes heat flow data from heat flow meters installed on the water-cooled walls of the boiler furnace under different load conditions. It compares the heat flow data from the heat flow meters and combines it with the mechanical property parameters of the material (which can be obtained from manuals) to perform thermal stress calculations through the functional modules of the stress data analysis system.

[0032] The functional modules of the stress data analysis system perform combined calculations on mechanical stress and thermal stress to obtain the combined stress at the monitoring point.

[0033] In one exemplary embodiment, step S3 is preceded by: S4: Based on the position coordinates and mechanical performance data of the furnace water-cooled wall at different locations, set the setting parameters in the stress data analysis system; the setting parameters include position coordinate values, expansion indication values, displacement, and heat flow values.

[0034] S5: Determine the preset threshold range corresponding to the stress at the monitoring point of the furnace water-cooled wall based on the set parameters.

[0035] In practical applications, the settings parameters of the stress data analysis system are set according to the mechanical property data (such as tensile strength, creep strength, etc.) of the specific water-cooled wall tube; If the analysis results of the mechanical stress, thermal stress and their combined stress at the water-cooled wall monitoring points obtained by the stress data analysis system exceed the preset threshold range of the stress corresponding to the furnace water-cooled wall tubes.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment, S3 specifically includes: S31: Determine whether the stress analysis result exceeds the preset threshold range. If yes, execute S32; otherwise, execute S33.

[0037] S32: If the monitoring data is found to be abnormal, output a prompt message and issue an early warning based on the prompt message; S33: Determine that the monitoring data is normal, and return to S1.

[0038] When the monitoring data from the electronic expansion indicator and heat flow meter are analyzed by the stress data analysis system and the results are within their corresponding preset threshold ranges, it indicates that the monitoring data is normal, meaning the parameters of the water-cooled wall at that location are normal and no warning is needed. When the monitoring data does not correspond to the preset threshold range of its corresponding stress analysis results, meaning the monitoring data at a certain location exceeds its corresponding preset threshold range, it indicates that the parameters of the water-cooled wall at that location are abnormal and a warning is required.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, this application provides a safety monitoring system for the water-cooled wall of a supercritical boiler furnace, which includes electronic expansion indicators and heat flow meters installed at multiple different locations on the water-cooled wall of the furnace, comprising: The monitoring data acquisition module 101 is used to acquire monitoring data from the electronic expansion indicator and the heat flow meter in real time; the monitoring data includes expansion indication, displacement and heat flow data.

[0040] The stress analysis result determination module 102 is used to perform stress analysis on the monitoring data based on the stress data analysis system and determine the stress analysis result.

[0041] The monitoring and early warning module 103 is used to monitor the stress condition of the furnace water-cooled wall based on the stress analysis results and the preset threshold range corresponding to the stress at the monitoring point of the furnace water-cooled wall, and to determine whether an early warning is needed.

[0042] This application installs electronic expansion indicators and heat flow meters at multiple locations on the furnace water-cooled wall. The expansion and displacement data of the electronic expansion indicators and the heat flow data of the heat flow meters are transmitted in real time to a stress data analysis system for stress analysis. This enables effective monitoring of the stress condition of the furnace water-cooled wall and determines whether to provide an early warning based on the analysis results of the stress data analysis system. This allows for direct access to the data from the electronic expansion indicators and heat flow meters installed on the boiler to determine the safe operating status of the furnace water-cooled wall during flexible operation, thus ensuring the safe operation of the furnace water-cooled wall in supercritical power plant boilers.
