Abstract

[0002] The valve flow characteristics of a steam turbine affect power stability, valve throttling losses, and load stability. Its valve flow characteristics directly affect the coordinated regulation performance of the generator and the grid. This is mainly because as the maintenance and operation time of steam turbine valves increases, their flow characteristics will deviate from the ideal state. Secondly, different operating modes of the unit will also cause the valve flow to deviate from the ideal state, all of which will lead to the unit's load regulation performance deviating from the target state.
[0003] In response to these problems, experts and scholars have conducted extensive research on the optimization of generator-grid coordinated control, achieving fruitful results. However, these studies have all been conducted after the fact, without achieving online monitoring of valve regulation status. This has prevented timely correction and guidance for improving unit operation modes, and valve flow characteristics issues continue to plague unit operators. Utility Model Content

[0022] In this embodiment, the data acquisition module S includes a terminal block 1, a terminal block 2, a communication terminal 3, a communication cable 4, a data acquisition card 5, and a data acquisition card holder 8. The data acquisition module S is connected to the terminal block 1 through the communication cable 4. The terminal block 1 is provided with a terminal block 2 and a communication terminal 3. The data acquisition card 5 is matched with the data acquisition card holder 8.
[0023] In this embodiment, a display screen 13 is installed inside the online monitoring L.
[0024] In this embodiment, the terminal block 1 and the data acquisition card 5 use a serial communication interface 14 to achieve data acquisition.
[0025] In this embodiment, the data acquisition module S acquires the load increase execution process, the load decrease execution process, the integrated valve position, CV1, CV2, CV3 and CV4, and the actual load signal.
[0026] In this embodiment, the online diagnostic module Z realizes online diagnosis of valve flow "adjustment idle stroke" and "abnormal valve flow characteristics".
[0027] In this embodiment, the online monitoring L displays the "empty trip" and "abnormal flow characteristics" alarms output by the online diagnostic module Z in real time, and issues an audible alarm to remind the operation and monitoring personnel.
[0028] In this embodiment, the portable device housing 12 is the main structure of the device, used to fix and protect the internal components.
[0029] In this embodiment, the power terminal 6 and the host power button 11 are integrated on the surface of the portable device shell 12, and the host 9 and the data acquisition card slot 8 are fixed in the internal frame of the portable device shell 12.
[0030] In this embodiment, the power terminal 6 is located at the power interface of the housing, which is responsible for external power input and supports types such as quick-connect terminals or cold-pressed terminals.
[0031] In this embodiment, the internal power cable 7 extends from the power terminal 6 to the power module of the host 9, and is connected to the power supply interface of the data acquisition card slot 8 via a splitter.
[0032] In this embodiment, the data acquisition card slot 8 is fixed in the motherboard expansion slot area of the host 9 and is used to insert the data acquisition card 5.
[0033] In this embodiment, the main unit locking pin 10 is located on the side of the main unit 9 and is fixed by mechanical locking to prevent loosening.
[0034] In this embodiment, the host power button 11 is integrated into the panel (such as the top or front) of the portable device housing 12 and is connected to the host power control module through an internal cable; it triggers the host power on / off and ensures operational safety through an anti-accidental touch design.
[0035] The working principle of the entire device in this embodiment is as follows: First, signals such as the load increase execution process, the load decrease execution process, the integrated valve position, CV1, CV2, CV3 and CV4, and the actual load are connected to the wiring terminals to achieve data acquisition. Then, based on the acquired parameters, the flow characteristic status of the turbine valves is analyzed online to diagnose the unit's load regulation performance, identifying operating states such as "regulation idle stroke" and "abnormal flow characteristics," thus resolving abnormal load regulation performance issues. The specific control process is as follows:
[0036] Step 1: Run the application based on the LabVIEW platform.
[0037] Step 2: Collect signals such as load increase execution process, load decrease execution process, integrated valve position, CV1, CV2, CV3 and CV4, and actual load.
[0038] Step 3: Online real-time diagnosis of turbine valve flow characteristic regulation status, real-time identification of unit "upward empty stroke, downward empty stroke" and "abnormal valve flow characteristics".
[0039] (1) Diagnosis of saturation state, the criteria are: ① "x≤Comprehensive valve position≤100%", then report "upward empty stroke", where x is the comprehensive valve position that makes the last regulating valve at the empty stroke critical point. This parameter is set according to the actual operating state. ② "x+5%≤Comprehensive valve position≤100%", then report "upward empty stroke" and "downward empty stroke", which are combined into "regulation saturation" alarm.
[0040] (2) “Abnormal flow characteristics”, the criterion is “comprehensive valve position ≤ x-5%”. During the load increase or load decrease process, and the valve positions of CV1-CV4 are all less than y, where y is the valve’s empty stroke critical value. Within a certain period of time, if the absolute value of the load change rate is less than the speed setting value (according to the standard setting), then “abnormal valve flow characteristics” will be reported.
[0041] Step 4: The portable online monitoring device CRT displays the unit's "upward empty stroke, downward empty stroke" and "abnormal valve flow characteristics" information in real time, and stores historical trends for easy access.
[0042] Based on the above description, those skilled in the art are already able to implement it.
