Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydropower station modeling and simulation technology, and in particular to a method, device and medium for modeling and simulating the transient process of a complex water conveyance and power generation system with multiple turbines in a single tunnel. Background Technology
[0002] The complex multi-unit water conveyance and power generation system with a single tunnel is the core hub for energy conversion in a high-head impulse hydropower station, and the accuracy of its modeling determines the safety of the station's operation. On the one hand, the system consists of a long water diversion tunnel, a surge chamber, branch pipes, and multiple impulse turbine units. The pipeline topology is complex, and the significant elastic water hammer characteristics of pressurized pipelines have a decisive impact on the dynamic stability of the system. On the other hand, the multi-unit layout with a single tunnel leads to flow and pressure coupling between units through the branch pipes. Regulation disturbances from a single unit can be transmitted to neighboring units via water hammer waves, causing the system to exhibit high nonlinearity. Therefore, modeling this system is essentially a complex coordinated control problem involving multivariable interactions and multi-physics coupling.
[0003] Currently, research on impulse hydropower stations largely focuses on hydraulic calculations and unit control strategies based on the method of characteristics. However, existing technologies face significant challenges in constructing coupled models of the entire water-machine-electric system: First, hydraulic partial differential equations and electrical ordinary differential equations exhibit mathematical heterogeneity; the former requires spatiotemporal grid discretization, which is difficult to directly match with the latter's continuous integration mechanism based on time steps. Second, while some scholars have attempted to simplify hydraulic models, they often employ rigid assumptions for long water diversion pipelines, leading to model distortion and making it difficult to reflect real hydraulic disturbance mechanisms.

The secondary branch pipe 2 is connected to the No. 3 turbine through the branch pipe 3, and to the No. 4 turbine through the branch pipe 4, forming a complex water conveyance and power generation system with one tunnel and four turbines, forming an impulse hydropower station.
[0069] The method includes the following steps:
[0070] Step 1: Constructing the differential equation model of the entire system, specifically as follows:
[0071] Establish models of the turbine units and water diversion system in a complex water conveyance and power generation system with multiple turbines in one tunnel.
[0072] Regardless of the layout of a complex water conveyance and power generation system with multiple turbines in a single tunnel, a unified turbine unit model is established, which includes turbine equations, generator equations, and governor equations.
[0073] The water diversion system model includes the dynamic equations for the water diversion tunnel, the continuity equation for the surge tank, and the dynamic equations for the pressure pipeline. The dynamic equations for the pressure pipeline are constructed based on the pipeline layout of the water diversion system, including dynamic equations for pressure pipelines with only a first-stage branch and dynamic equations for pressure pipelines with a second-stage branch.
[0074] If the pipeline layout of the water diversion system is a layout with only one branch pipe, that is, the water flows through the main pressure pipeline and is directly distributed to each branch pipe by the first branch pipe, then the dynamic equation of the pressure pipeline with only one branch pipe includes the dynamic equation of the main pressure pipeline, the flow continuity equation at the bifurcation point, and the dynamic equation of each branch pipe connected to the main pressure pipeline.
[0075] If the pipeline layout of the water diversion system is a layout with two-stage branch pipes, that is, after the water flows through the water diversion tunnel, it is distributed to the secondary pressure pipeline by the primary branch pipe, and then distributed to each branch pipe by the secondary branch pipe. The dynamic equation of the pressure pipeline with two-stage branch pipes includes the flow continuity equation at the primary branch point, the dynamic equation of the secondary pressure pipeline, the flow continuity equation at the secondary branch point, and the dynamic equation of each branch pipe connected to the secondary pressure pipeline.

[0081] Dynamic equations for pressure pipelines containing only a single-stage branch pipe:
[0082] Using the same method as for the water diversion tunnel, the equations for the main pressure pipeline are established. However, unlike the water diversion tunnel, the pressure boundary conditions of the main pressure pipeline change: its inlet is constrained by the water level in the upstream surge chamber, and its outlet is constrained by the dynamic water pressure at the bifurcation point. The dynamic equation for the main pressure pipeline, considering elastic water hammer, is expressed as follows:
[0083] .
[0084] The continuity equation for the flow at the bifurcation point is expressed as:
[0085] .
[0086] For each branch pipe connecting to the turbine unit, based on the established dynamic equations, the boundary conditions of the branch pipe are: the head end is constrained by the dynamic water pressure at the bifurcation point, and the tail end is constrained by the turbine's working head. Considering elastic water hammer, the dynamic equations of each branch pipe connected to the main pressure pipeline are expressed as follows:

This indicates the effect of pipeline friction resistance, branch pipe head, and turbine head on flow rate changes.
[0089] Dynamic equations for pressure pipelines with secondary branch pipes:
[0090] The continuity equation for the flow at the first-order bifurcation point is expressed as:
[0091] .
[0092] Using the same method as for the water diversion tunnel, the equations for the secondary pressure pipeline are established. However, unlike the water diversion tunnel, the pressure boundary conditions for the secondary pressure pipeline change: its initial end is constrained by the water level in the upstream surge chamber, and its final end is constrained by the dynamic water pressure at the secondary bifurcation point. The dynamic equation for the secondary pressure pipeline, considering elastic water hammer, is expressed as follows:

The boundary conditions for the branch pipes are: the head end is constrained by the dynamic water pressure at the secondary bifurcation point, and the tail end is constrained by the turbine's working head. Considering elastic water hammer, the dynamic equations for each branch pipe connected to the secondary pressure pipeline are expressed as follows:

[0108] Step 2: Derive the transfer function using the Laplace transform, specifically as follows:
[0109] The transfer functions of the turbine unit and the water diversion system are obtained by performing Laplace transform on the turbine unit model and the water diversion system model.
[0110] The transfer function of a hydro turbine unit includes the turbine transfer function, the generator transfer function, and the governor transfer function.
[0111] The transfer functions of the water diversion system include the power transfer function of the water diversion tunnel, the continuity transfer function of the surge tank, and the power transfer function of the pressure pipeline.
[0112] The power transfer function for pressure pipelines includes the power transfer function for pressure pipelines with only a single-stage branch and the power transfer function for pressure pipelines with a second-stage branch:
[0113] The power transmission function of a pressure pipeline containing only a single-level branch pipe includes the power transmission function of the main pressure pipeline, the flow continuity transmission function at the branch point, and the power transmission function of each branch pipe.
[0114] The dynamic equations for a pressure pipeline with secondary bifurcation include the flow continuity transfer function at the primary bifurcation point, the dynamic transfer function of the secondary pressure pipeline, the flow continuity transfer function at the secondary bifurcation point, and the dynamic transfer function of each bifurcation pipe.
[0115] Each transfer function is obtained by transforming each equation through Laplace transform and Taylor series expansion.
[0116] Step 3: Draw the system coupling control logic block diagram, specifically:
[0117] like Figure 4 As shown, a hydraulic and mechanical coupling loop is constructed to establish the interaction between the water intake system and the mechanical characteristics of the turbine unit. Specifically, the turbine's output flow rate signal is connected to the input end of the water intake system (including the water intake tunnel, surge chamber, pressure pipeline, and branch pipe). The water flow in the pipeline will generate head loss and elastic water hammer effect. The water intake system outputs the turbine's operating head signal at the current moment, and finally feeds the turbine's operating head signal back to the turbine's input end, thus forming a hydraulic and mechanical closed-loop coupling loop that reflects the mutual constraint between flow rate and head.
[0118] The energy conversion logic of the unit is constructed to simulate the process of the turbine converting water energy into mechanical energy. The input interface of the turbine is configured so that, in addition to receiving the turbine working head signal, it also needs to receive the field measured data or the opening signal output by the governor, as well as the unit speed signal from the generator. Based on the above inputs, the turbine performs calculations based on the turbine flow equation. On the one hand, it outputs the unit flow signal to the water intake system to maintain hydraulic balance, and on the other hand, it outputs the turbine torque signal to the generator.
[0119] The mechanical, electrical, and regulating loops are constructed. The turbine torque signal output from the turbine is connected to the generator input. The generator calculates the unit speed signal and sends it as feedback to two targets: one is the turbine input, and the other is the governor input. The governor calculates the deviation between the received unit speed signal and the set value using PID control and outputs the corrected opening signal to the turbine, thus completing the drawing of the physical model closed-loop control block diagram.
[0120] Step 4: Build the simulation model, specifically:
[0121] A simulation model of the control logic block diagram is built. The simulation model can be a Simulink model. Based on the closed-loop control logic block diagram of a complex hydropower station with multiple turbines in a single tunnel, the subsystem modules are built and connected, and the physical parameters of the system are configured. This requires parameter calculation and configuration based on the actual design data provided by the power station. The specific logic is as follows:
[0122] Based on the hydraulic layout drawings and specifications, the geometric dimensions of the water diversion tunnel, pressure pipeline, and various levels of branch pipes are extracted. Based on these dimensions, parameters such as the flow inertia time constant and elastic water hammer phase length of each pipe section are calculated. The static head is determined based on the difference between the upper reservoir water level and the unit installation elevation. Combined with the actual operating head under the unit's response conditions, the head loss of the water diversion system is calculated using the difference between the two. Using the turbine model's comprehensive characteristic curve, the steady-state operating point of the unit on the characteristic curve is determined based on the initial conditions, and the six transfer coefficients corresponding to this operating point are calculated. Finally, the calculated physical parameters and state variables are assigned to various modules in the simulation model to achieve parameter configuration of the simulation model.
[0123] Step 5: Execute the simulation and output the response, specifically:
[0124] To ensure consistency between the simulation and the actual physical process, while also considering the ability to predict unknown operating conditions, if on-site measured data from the power plant is available, the measured opening signal should be used as input, since it is derived from the governor output of the actual power plant. In this case, the governor should not be connected to the simulation model. If on-site measured data from the power plant is unavailable, the governor should be connected to the simulation model, and the corresponding opening signal should be used as the turbine input. The specific implementation is as follows:
[0125] Determine whether on-site measured data from the power plant is available;
[0126] If on-site measured data exists, given that on-site data has the highest reliability in reflecting the real response, the simulation uses the measured data as input. In this case, the governor in the simulation model is disconnected, and the on-site measured turbine deflector opening data and nozzle opening data are used as the turbine input. Dynamic simulation is then performed on the simulation model to obtain the simulation results, thereby eliminating the influence of parameter deviations between the governor and the actual governor and realizing the reproduction of the power plant's operating conditions.
[0127] If no on-site measured data is available, the speed governor in the simulation model is connected. The speed governor outputs the opening signal to the turbine through the frequency step disturbance or power command disturbance set at the input terminal, and performs dynamic simulation on the simulation model to obtain the simulation results. This effectively makes up for the deficiency of not being able to obtain dynamic response when there is a lack of measured data or when it is difficult to conduct real machine tests, and realizes the simulation of various working conditions.
[0128] The simulation model's operating conditions mainly include typical conditions such as load shedding, primary frequency regulation, and load adjustment. The simulation results mainly include dynamic responses such as water distribution loop pressure, unit active power output, and frequency, thereby enabling dynamic characteristic analysis of the system.
[0129] This embodiment sets up both open-loop and closed-loop input interfaces in the simulation model, which can drive the model using the measured nozzle opening data and deflector opening data, as well as preset frequency or power disturbances. Since this method can both reproduce the actual working conditions using measured data to verify the model parameters, and predict the system response under extreme working conditions where there is no measured data or it is difficult to measure, the simulation platform has the dual functions of model verification and predictive analysis, providing a flexible and intuitive engineering tool for the grid connection test analysis, fault review and operation parameter tuning of hydropower stations.
[0130] The active power output curve of the unit, the pressure curve of the turbine distribution ring pipe, and the frequency curve of the unit output by the simulation model under the corresponding operating conditions are compared with the measured data collected in the field test of the hydropower station.
[0131] The accuracy of the simulation model was verified by combining qualitative analysis and quantitative calculation.
[0132] First, a qualitative analysis of trend comparison is conducted. The dynamic response curve obtained from the simulation is compared with the actual measured curve in the field under the same coordinate system. The focus is on observing whether the waveform trend, phase change and key inflection points of the two are consistent during the transition process, so as to qualitatively determine whether the simulation model correctly reflects the dynamic characteristics of the system.
[0133] Secondly, quantitative analysis of numerical comparison is carried out. Based on the measured data, the maximum relative error of the simulation data relative to the measured data is calculated and a specific numerical comparison is performed.
[0134] Finally, the evaluation conclusion is as follows: if the measured curve and the simulation curve are highly consistent in terms of their changing trends, it can be verified that the simulation model of the complex water conveyance and power generation system with multiple turbines in one tunnel has high accuracy, providing ideas for the subsequent optimization of control strategies and hydraulic disturbance analysis of actual power plants.
