Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of power station safety, in particular to a remote black start automatic control system for a dam of a hydropower station. Background Art
[0002] When a large-scale power outage occurs in the power grid where the hydropower station is located, it is required to restore the power supply of the power station through black start in the absence of external power supply, and to have the ability to transmit power to the outside after the power supply of the power station is restored to reduce the loss of the power grid.
[0003] At present, when the power supply to the entire hydropower station disappears, the operating personnel are required to manually start the diesel generator, switch the 10kV of the dam and the related circuit breakers of the 10kV system of the power station building, restore the 0.4kV self-use power system corresponding to the black start unit to supply power to the unit's auxiliary equipment, and the dam power system to supply power to the flood discharge facilities.
[0004] The operation personnel have to start the diesel generator, close the diesel generator output switch, switch the 10kV and 0.4kV factory power, and manually start the unit from zero to increase the voltage. The whole process takes a long time, and all operations are manual. There are extremely high safety risks such as asynchronous, reverse charging, and wrong intervals.
[0005] In view of the inconvenience of black start operation of hydropower station, combined with the power consumption characteristics and equipment layout of hydropower station,
[0006] It is necessary to develop an automatic control system for remote black start of hydropower dams. After the operator initiates the process on the monitoring system, the process automatically starts the diesel generator and switches the 10kV power supply of the spillway dam with the 0.4kV power supply of the dam to power the flood discharge facilities. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a remote black start automatic control system for a hydropower station dam includes a dam high-voltage busbar 1 and a power station building high-voltage busbar 2. The power station building high-voltage busbar 2 leads a high-voltage power supply to the dam high-voltage busbar 1, a diesel generator 3 is connected to the dam high-voltage busbar 1, and a hydro-generator 9 is connected to the power station building high-voltage busbar 2. The power station building high-voltage busbar 2 supplies power to the power station building low-voltage busbar 15 through the unit's self-use power outgoing line switch 5, the unit transformer 11 and the power station building low-voltage incoming line switch 16. The power station building low-voltage busbar 15 is connected to the load equipment 12. The load equipment 12 includes a generator-transformer protection system, an excitation system, a speed control system, a computer monitoring system and a hydro-generator auxiliary system.
[0024] The above-mentioned hydro-generator 9 is connected to the high-voltage bus 2 of the power station building through the hydro-generator outlet circuit breaker 14, the plant transformer 10, and the plant high-voltage incoming line switch 4.
[0025] The signal lines of the above-mentioned high-voltage incoming line switch 4 for the plant power supply, the outlet circuit breaker 14 for the turbine generator, the outgoing line switch 5 for the unit's own power supply, and the low-voltage incoming line switch 16 for the plant building are connected to the monitoring system 13 and receive control commands from the monitoring system 13 to realize the switching of the black start power supply for the unit.
[0026] A first contact switch 6 and a second contact switch 7 are provided on the connection line between the power plant high-voltage bus 2 and the dam high-voltage bus 1 .
[0027] A third connecting switch 8 is provided between the diesel generator 3 and the dam high-voltage busbar 1. The third connecting switch 8 has a remote operation switch, which can be electrically switched between a "test" position and a "working" position.
[0028] The monitoring system 13 collects equipment signals from the diesel generator 3, the plant power high-voltage incoming line switch 4, the unit power outgoing line switch 5, the first contact switch 6, the second contact switch 7, the third contact switch 8, the hydro-generator 9, the plant transformer 10, the unit transformer 11, the load equipment 12, the hydro-generator outlet circuit breaker 14, the power plant low-voltage busbar 15, and the plant low-voltage incoming line switch 16, as well as the control switch equipment signals.
[0029] Example:
[0030] The diesel generator 3 is connected to the 10kV bus 1 of the dam, and a 10kV interconnecting line is drawn from the 10kV bus 2 of the power plant building and connected to the 10kV bus 1 of the dam.
[0031] The hydro-generator 9 is connected to the 10kV busbar 2 of the power station building through the hydro-generator outlet circuit breaker 14, the plant transformer 10, and the 10kV plant power incoming line switch 4.
[0032] The 10kV busbar 2 of the power plant building supplies power to the 0.4kV busbar 15 of the power plant building through the unit's own power outgoing line switch 5, the unit transformer 11 and the power plant building's 0.4kV incoming line switch 16.
[0033] The load equipment 12 includes but is not limited to the generator-transformer protection system, excitation system, speed control system, computer monitoring system, hydro-generator auxiliary system, etc.
[0034] The load equipment 12 draws power from the 0.4 kV bus 15 of the power plant building.
[0035] The relevant signal wiring of the 10kV auxiliary power incoming line switch 4, the turbine generator outlet circuit breaker 14, the unit's own power outgoing line switch 5 and the power station building 0.4kV incoming line switch 16 needs to be sent to the monitoring system 13 and receive the control command from the monitoring system 13 to realize the switching of the unit's black start power supply.
[0036] The connecting switch 8 between the dam 10kV busbar 1 and the diesel generator 3 has the function of electrically switching the remote operating switch between the "test" position and the "working" position.
[0037] The unit status in the monitoring system 13 has an islanded operation state with plant power.
[0038] The black start process is a zero-voltage step-up with transformer and has GCB double-side voltage-free closing operation.
[0039] When the monitoring system 13 detects a power outage in the power grid and no external power supply, and when all AC voltage is lost in the power station, it can automatically or manually start the unit black start process, closing the connecting switch 8, connecting switch 7, connecting switch 6, the unit's own power outgoing line switch 5, and the power station building 0.4kV incoming line switch 16 in sequence, energizing the power station building's 0.4kV busbar 15 and supplying power to the load equipment 12, thereby completing the unit black start.
[0040] During a black start, the unit operates at no load or with only auxiliary power load. Although the unit can operate stably, this operating state does not guarantee long-term safe and stable operation. If the black start process or operation at no load or with auxiliary power load lasts too long, monitoring and maintenance of the unit's safe and stable operation will need to be strengthened.
[0041] The busbar has 3 sections and there are 6 switches. In order to adapt to the different sizes of various projects, the system network can be expanded according to the 10kV system main connection to facilitate the design of different needs.
[0042] In order to ensure the stable and reliable operation of the system, the 10kV busbar of the dam can be divided into two sections during actual use. A connecting circuit breaker is installed between the busbars. Two 10kV power supplies are drawn from the power station and connected to the first and second busbars respectively, which serve as backup for each other. Each busbar section is equipped with a diesel generator.
[0043] There is one hydro-turbine generator set, and the number of hydro-turbine generator sets can be determined according to the actual project scale.
[0044] There are two transformers. In actual projects, each unit may correspond to multiple low-voltage plant power transformers and multiple sections of 0.4kV busbars.
[0045] There is one set of load equipment. According to the power supply requirements of different load equipment, the system requiring dual power supply needs to be connected to different busbars respectively and can be expanded as needed.
[0046] There is one monitoring system, which is responsible for collecting signals from all equipment including the diesel generator 3, 10kV plant power incoming line switch 4, unit self-use power outgoing line switch 5, connecting switch 6, connecting switch 7, connecting switch 8, hydro-generator 9, plant transformer 10, unit transformer 11, load equipment 12, hydro-generator outlet circuit breaker 14, power plant building 0.4kV busbar 15, power plant building 0.4kV incoming line switch 16, and controlling switchgear.
[0047] See attached Figure 2 , the control process of this system is as follows:
[0048] Step S1: Start when receiving a black start instruction;
[0049] Step S2: The monitoring system detects that the system is in a no-pressure state and meets the unit black start conditions;
[0050] Step S3: Determine the switch status and control the switches to sequentially set the 10kV auxiliary power incoming line switch 4, the turbine generator outlet circuit breaker 14, and the tie switch 8 to the "off" state;
[0051] Step S4: Determine the switch status and control the switches in sequence to put the unit's own power outgoing line switch 5, the power plant building 0.4kV incoming line switch 16, the connecting switch 6, and the connecting switch 7 into the "closed" state;
[0052] Step S5: Start the diesel generator 3;
[0053] Step S6: After determining that the diesel generator 3 is running stably and without faults, control the interconnection switch 8 to be in the "closed" state;
[0054] Step S7: The system supplies power to each load device 12 to enable it to operate normally and starts the hydro-generator 9 to the "idling" state;
[0055] Step S8: Determine the voltage synchronization condition on both sides of the hydro-generator outlet circuit breaker 14, and close the hydro-generator outlet circuit breaker 14 when the voltage synchronization condition on both sides is met;
[0056] Step S9: The generator excitation system is activated, the generator transformer is boosted to the rated voltage, and the generator is in a no-load operation state with the main transformer;
[0057] Step S10: disconnect the tie switch 8 and close the 10kV auxiliary power incoming line switch 4. The power supply for the unit is provided by the auxiliary power transformer 11, and the unit is in a state of operating with auxiliary power load.
[0058] Step S11: After the system runs stably, the diesel generator 3 is turned off to complete the black start.
