Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydropower unit technology, and in particular to a hydropower unit frequency regulation AGC collaborative control device based on multi-sensor fusion. Background Technology
[0002] Hydropower units, as an important regulating resource in the power system, play a crucial role in grid frequency regulation and automatic generation control. Frequency regulation is an important means of maintaining grid frequency stability by rapidly adjusting unit output to respond to grid frequency fluctuations. Automatic generation control (AGC) automatically adjusts the active power of the units according to grid load demand to ensure grid supply and demand balance. Traditional hydropower unit frequency regulation and AGC control often adopt independent control methods, with frequency regulation relying on speed signals and AGC relying on power signals. This can easily lead to problems such as regulation conflicts, response lags, and low control accuracy. At the same time, traditional control devices often use single sensors to collect data, which are affected by sensor measurement errors and environmental interference, resulting in insufficient data accuracy and reliability. This makes it difficult to comprehensively reflect the unit's operating status, reducing the scientific and rational nature of control decisions. In addition, existing control devices lack effective status monitoring and feedback mechanisms, making it impossible to detect abnormalities in the control execution process in a timely manner. The integrity and stability of the control closed loop need to be improved. Utility Model Content

The signal output terminal of the data fusion processing module is connected to the signal input terminal of the frequency modulation AGC collaborative control module via a cable. The output signal of the frequency modulation AGC collaborative control module is connected to the input signal interface of the execution drive module via a cable. The output signal of the execution drive module is connected to the input signal interface of the status monitoring and feedback module via a cable.
[0034] The signal output terminal of the status monitoring and feedback module is connected to the signal input terminal of the multi-sensor acquisition module and the signal input terminal of the data fusion processing module via cables.
[0035] A complete control link is constructed through modular cable connections, ensuring a clear and orderly signal transmission path. Direct connection between the multi-sensor acquisition module and the data fusion processing module ensures lossless transmission of raw parameters, providing a complete input foundation for data fusion. The cascaded design between core modules avoids signal interruptions, ensuring that fused data accurately drives frequency-modulated AGC decisions and achieving seamless connection from control command generation to execution. The dual-end feedback connection of the status monitoring module forms a closed control loop, which can correct execution deviations in real time and suppress error accumulation. Modular connections facilitate future maintenance and upgrades, and overall improve the reliability of system signal transmission and the timeliness and accuracy of control response.
[0036] The multi-sensor module includes a speed sensor, an active power sensor, a water level sensor, an opening degree sensor, a pressure sensor, and a frequency sensor;
[0037] The output signals of the speed sensor, active power sensor, water level sensor, opening degree sensor, pressure sensor, and frequency sensor are all connected to the input signal of the multi-sensor module via wires.
[0038] By centrally accessing key parameter sensors such as speed, active power, and water level through multi-sensor modules and directly connecting them with wires to transmit signals, the core operating status of the unit can be comprehensively captured. This avoids the one-sidedness of data from a single sensor, and the direct connection with wires reduces signal transmission links, reduces the impact of electromagnetic interference, and improves the stability and real-time performance of data transmission. This provides high-quality raw data for subsequent data fusion processing. This structure ensures that control decisions are based on complete and accurate unit status information, effectively reduces regulation deviations, and enhances the reliability and accuracy of unit operation control.

[0044] By setting a safety boundary in advance through the constraint processing unit, a reliable constraint basis is provided for model predictive control, avoiding the control quantity from exceeding the safe operating range of the unit. The model predictive control unit optimizes the control quantity based on constraints, improving the regulation accuracy and foresight. The instruction optimization and allocation unit realizes the coordinated allocation of frequency regulation and AGC instructions, reducing regulation conflicts. The closed-loop feedback design enables real-time correction of instruction execution deviations, enhancing control robustness, accelerating response speed, and ensuring that the unit responds efficiently to grid frequency regulation and load demand while meeting safety constraints.

[0047] The structure employs a signal conversion unit, a power amplification unit, and an actuator drive unit that are electrically connected in sequence. This ensures the orderly conversion and amplification of control commands from digital signals to drive signals, reducing signal transmission loss and interference, and guaranteeing stable and reliable actuator drive force. The feedback connection between the actuator drive unit and the module signal input terminal forms a local control closed loop, which can monitor the execution status of the drive signal in real time, correct deviations in a timely manner, improve the response speed and accuracy of guide vane adjustment and speed control, effectively avoid adjustment lag or overshoot, and ensure the stability of unit operation and control reliability.
[0048] The execution monitoring and feedback module includes an execution status monitoring unit, a data storage unit, and a signal conversion unit;
[0049] The signal output terminal of the execution status monitoring unit is connected to the data storage unit and the signal conversion unit via wires, respectively. The signal output terminals of the data storage unit and the signal conversion unit are both connected to the signal input terminal of the status monitoring and feedback module via wires.
[0050] By optimizing and strengthening the closed-loop monitoring link: the execution status monitoring unit captures control execution data in real time, the data storage unit retains operation records, providing original evidence for fault tracing and performance analysis; the signal conversion unit ensures that the monitoring signal is adapted to the transmission requirements and avoids signal distortion.
