Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to turbomachinery equipment for maximizing the power generated by an electrically reversible machine.

[0002] In particular, the present disclosure relates to the structure of a turbomachinery equipment comprising a gas turbine module, a compressor (referred to as a process compressor), and a variable frequency drive electric unit, the variable frequency drive electric unit then including an electrically reversible machine, such a structure being designed and devised in such a way that the power absorbed by the compressor is made as low as possible and the resistance torque of the electrically reversible machine is increased and the resistance torque of the compressor is decreased so that the power generated by the electrically reversible machine is maximized.

[0003] More particularly, the structure of such equipment is designed and devised for a mechanically driven hybrid gas turbine.

Background Art

[0004] The concept of hybridizing a gas turbine is applicable to the mechanical drive applications of new units or as an upgrade to existing trains. This exploits the synergistic effect of the wide range of capabilities that a gas turbine combined with a variable frequency drive electric unit can provide. The variable frequency drive electric unit includes an electrically reversible machine and a VFD control panel for the electrically reversible machine.

[0005] The electrically reversible machine can supply power to the gas turbine to function as a helper device for the gas turbine or absorb power from the gas turbine to function as a generator for generating electricity.

[0006] When the electroreversible machine needs to function as a generator and produce maximum power, the resistive torque of the electroreversible machine is automatically increased by the electroreversible machine's VFD control panel until the speed of the compressor (i.e., the process compressor) decreases to a minimum value substantially equal to 50% of the nominal speed of the compressor (and subsequently the electroreversible machine connected to the compressor). Such a minimum value represents the equilibrium point where the electroreversible machine produces maximum power and the compressor absorbs the "minimum power". [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0007] However, even though the compressor speed is reduced and the amount of power absorbed by the compressor is considered to be minimal, this amount of power is still significant and is substantially equal to 10% of the nominal power absorbed by the compressor itself.

[0008] As a result, the amount of power absorbed by the compressor affects the maximum power that can be generated by the electroreversible machine. In fact, if the power supplied by the gas turbine is equal to the sum of the power absorbed by the compressor and the power generated by the electroreversible machine, the greater the power absorbed by the compressor, the lower the power generated by the electroreversible machine.

[0009] Therefore, turbomachinery equipment designed to maximize the power generated by electroreversible machinery and minimize the power absorbed by the compressor is welcome in turbomachinery technology, especially when mechanically driven gas turbines are used in turbomachinery equipment.

[0010] In one embodiment, the subject matter disclosed herein relates to a turbomachinery system comprising a variable frequency drive electric unit, a compressor connected to an electrically reversible machine, an anti-surge circuit, a suction unit, and a collection unit.

[0011] A variable frequency driven electric unit includes an electrically reversible machine that can supply power.

[0012] The compressor is electrically reversible mechanically connected.

[0013] The first line connects the suction unit to the compressor, and the second line connects the compressor to the gas collection unit. The first separation valve is located on the first line, and the second separation valve is located on the second line.

[0014] The anti-surge circuit includes a third line connecting the first line to the second line, and the anti-surge valve is located on the third line.

[0015] The turbomachinery includes a gas depressurizing compressor having an inlet and an outlet, which is configured to draw in a certain amount of gas through the inlet, reduce the pressure of that amount of gas, and discharge that amount of gas through the outlet. A fourth line connects the second line to the inlet of the gas depressurizing compressor, and a first on / off valve is located on the fourth line, which is movable between an open state to allow a certain amount of gas to pass toward the gas depressurizing compressor and a closed state to prevent a certain amount of gas from passing toward the gas depressurizing compressor.

[0016] The central control unit is connected to first and second separation valves, an anti-surge valve, and a first on / off valve, and is configured to close the first and second separation valves and open the anti-surge valve so that a certain amount of gas flows substantially only into the anti-surge circuit, and to open the first on / off valve and operate the gas pressure compressor so that a certain amount of gas drawn in by the gas pressure compressor moves from the anti-surge circuit to the gas pressure compressor, causing the compressor to rotate, thereby reducing resistance, reducing power absorption, and maximizing the power generated by the electroreversible machine.

[0017] In another aspect of the present invention, the anti-surge circuit may include a cooling device, and a central control unit is connected to the cooling device and configured to operate the cooling device. The cooling device may be configured and sized to dissipate a predetermined amount of heat when the compressor is in use.

[0018] In another aspect of the present invention, the turbomachinery equipment includes a first control valve located on a sixth line connecting a first line to a third line, which is movable between an open state to allow a certain amount of gas to pass from a suction unit to a compressor and a closed state to prevent a certain amount of gas from passing from the suction unit to the compressor, and a second control valve located on a seventh line connecting the outlet of a gas decompression compressor to a second line, which is movable between an open state to allow a certain amount of gas to pass from the compressor to a collection unit and a closed state to prevent a certain amount of gas from passing from the compressor to a collection unit.

[0019] The temperature measurement and control device is connected to a third line between the cooling device and the compressor inlet and is configured to measure and control temperature values ​​related to the amount of gas in the anti-surge circuit.

[0020] The central control unit is connected to a first control valve and a second control valve, a first temperature measurement control device, and a storage means. It is configured to store a predetermined temperature value in the storage means, to acquire a temperature value from the temperature measurement control device, and to adjust the opening of the first control valve and the second control valve in such a way that when the temperature value measured by the temperature measurement control device is higher than the predetermined temperature value, a first amount of gas having a first temperature enters the anti-surge circuit through the first control valve, and a second amount of gas having a second temperature exits the anti-surge circuit, enters the gas pressure reducing compressor, exits the gas pressure reducing compressor, and reaches the second line through the second control valve. The second amount of gas is equal to the first amount of gas, and the second temperature is higher than the first temperature.

[0021] The present invention also relates to a method for maximizing the power generated by an electrically reversible machine in a turbomachinery system. Specifically, the method includes the steps of: closing a first and a second separation valve so that a certain amount of gas flows substantially only into an anti-surge circuit; opening a first on / off valve so that a certain amount of gas drawn in by a gas pressure compressor moves from the anti-surge circuit to the gas pressure compressor, causing the compressor to rotate, thereby reducing resistance, reducing power absorption, and maximizing the power generated by the electrically reversible machine; and operating the gas pressure compressor. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0022] A complete understanding of the disclosed embodiments of the present invention and many of the associated advantages will be readily available, when considered in relation to the accompanying drawings, by referring to the following embodiments for carrying out the invention, which will be better understood. [Figure 1] Figure 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of a turbomachinery system according to the first embodiment. [Figure 2] Figure 2 illustrates a schematic diagram of a turbomachinery system according to the second embodiment. [Figure 3] Figure 3 illustrates a flowchart illustrating a method for maximizing the power generated by an electroreversible machine by reducing the power absorbed by a compressor connected to the electroreversible machine. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0023] In the field of power generation, turbomachinery equipment comprises a gas turbine, a compressor (referred to as a process compressor), an electric reversible machine that can supply power to function as a helper device for the gas turbine or absorb power to function as a generator. This disclosure targets the case where the electric reversible machine functions as a generator to produce the maximum power required by needs. Since the compressor absorbs a specific amount of power even when its speed reaches the minimum value, it is necessary to reduce this amount of power as much as possible in order to maximize the power generated by the electric reversible machine.

[0024] Therefore, this subject matter targets turbomachinery equipment configured to maximize the power generated by an electric reversible machine by significantly reducing the power absorbed by a compressor connected to the electric reversible machine. The power absorbed by the compressor is reduced by about one digit compared to the power absorbed by the compressor in known types of turbomachinery equipment.

[0025] In particular, the structure of the turbomachinery equipment is designed and devised to substantially create a "vacuum state" for the compressor. As a result, the compressor encounters less resistance and absorbs less power. In this way, it is possible to maximize the power generated by the electric reversible machine.

[0026] As a result of such conditions, it is possible to increase the rotational speed of the electric reversible machine, and as a result, the ability of the electric reversible machine to supply power increases.

[0027] Here, refer to the drawings, particularly FIG. 1 showing the first embodiment of the turbomachinery equipment according to the present invention.

[0028] The turbomachinery equipment comprises a gas turbine module 10 including a gas turbine 1, a variable frequency driven electric unit 2 including an electrically reversible machine 21 capable of supplying power, and a compressor 3 (referred to as a process compressor) connected to the electrically reversible machine 21 and the gas turbine module 10.

[0029] Specifically, the compressor 3 has an inlet 31 and an outlet 32.

[0030] Furthermore, the suction unit SU is connected to the inlet 31 of the compressor 3 by a first line L1, and the collection unit CU is connected to the outlet 32 ​​of the compressor 3 by a second line L2.

[0031] The turbomachinery equipment includes a first separation valve SV1 located on a first line L1, a second separation valve SV2 located on a second line L2, a third line L3 connecting the first line L1 to the second line L2, and an anti-surge circuit AC including an anti-surge valve AV located on the third line L3.

[0032] The first separation valve SV1 is movable between an open state that allows a certain amount of gas to pass from the suction unit SU to the compressor 3 and a closed state that prevents a certain amount of gas from passing from the suction unit SU to the compressor 3.

[0033] The second separation valve SV2 is movable between an open state, which allows a certain amount of gas to pass from the compressor 3 to the collection unit CU, and a closed state, which prevents a certain amount of gas from passing from the compressor 3 to the collection unit CU.

[0034] Specifically, the turbomachinery equipment is - A gas pressure reducing compressor 5 having an inlet 51 and an outlet 52, configured to draw in a certain amount of gas through the inlet 51, reduce the pressure of that gas, and discharge that gas through the outlet 52, -A fourth line L4 connects the second line L2 to the inlet 51 of the gas pressure compressor 5 so that the gas pressure compressor 5 is connected to the anti-surge circuit AC, -The system includes a first on / off valve V1 located on a fourth line L4, which is movable between an open state that allows a certain amount of gas to pass toward the gas pressure compressor 5 and a closed state that prevents a certain amount of gas from passing toward the gas pressure compressor 5.

[0035] Furthermore, the turbomachinery equipment is connected to the first separation valve SV1 and the second separation valve SV2, the anti-surge valve AV, and the first on / off valve V1. - The first isolation valve SV1 and the second isolation valve SV2 are closed, and the anti-surge valve AV is opened, so that a certain amount of gas flows substantially only through the anti-surge circuit AC. The system includes a central control unit 7 configured to open the first on / off valve V1 and operate the gas pressure compressor 5 so that a certain amount of gas drawn in by the gas pressure compressor 5 moves from the anti-surge circuit AC to the gas pressure compressor 5, causing the compressor 3 to rotate, thereby reducing resistance, reducing power absorption, and maximizing the power generated by the electrically reversible machine 21.

[0036] Advantageously, the rotational speed of the reversible electric machine 21 can be increased so that the reversible electric machine 21 can supply more power than the reversible electric machines of known types of turbomachinery equipment.

[0037] The central control unit 7 may be a programmable controller that can be implemented by a microprocessor or PLC together with an I / O module.

[0038] The gas drawn in by the gas pressure compressor 5 is discharged onto a fifth line L5, the first end of which is connected to the outlet 52 of the gas pressure compressor 5. In the disclosed embodiment, the second end of the fifth line L5, opposite to the first end, is connected to the first line L1. Therefore, the amount of gas discharged from the gas pressure compressor 5 is more easily returned to the suction unit SU.

[0039] However, the outlet 52 of the gas pressure compressor 5 does not need to be connected to the first line L1. For example, the gas discharged from the gas pressure compressor 5 can be dispersed into the environment or directed to another part of the turbomachinery equipment, such as a ventilation header or gas treatment system.

[0040] Regarding the gas pressure reducing compressor 5, the gas pressure reducing compressor 5 is provided with an adjustment means for adjusting the flow rate of the gas pressure reducing compressor itself.

[0041] As shown in Figure 1, the central control unit 7 is connected to the gas pressure compressor 5 and may be configured to control the adjustment means of the gas pressure compressor 5 so that the gas pressure compressor 5 absorbs as little power as possible.

[0042] Specifically, such adjustment means may include at least one valve (preferably two valves) located in each of the one or more cylinders included in the gas pressure compressor 5, and the central control unit 7 is configured to control the flow rate of the gas pressure compressor 5 by adjusting the opening of the valves.

[0043] Furthermore, alternatively, or in combination with one or more valves located in each cylinder, such adjustment means may include an electrical device, such as a VFD electric motor, or a mechanical device, such as a variable speed ratio gearbox, for changing the revolutions per minute of the gas pressure compressor 5, and the central control unit 7 is configured to control the flow rate of the gas pressure compressor by increasing / decreasing the revolutions per minute through the electrical or mechanical device.

[0044] In the first embodiment disclosed, the gas decompression compressor 5 is a positive displacement machine.

[0045] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1, the anti-surge circuit AC may include a cooling device 4 for cooling the gas flowing through the third line L3 of the anti-surge circuit AC. The cooling device 4 is provided with ventilation means 41 including one or more blades.

[0046] The central control unit 7 is connected to the cooling device 4 and is configured to operate the cooling device 4.

[0047] Specifically, the central control unit 7 is configured to adjust the blade speed using a motor included in the cooling device 4, and the motor is connected to the ventilation means 41.

[0048] The motor may be a multi-pole motor or a VFD electric motor containing one or more pole pairs.

[0049] Alternatively, the central control unit 7 may be configured to adjust the blade speed by changing a value related to the blade pitch angle over time using a hydraulic actuator, or an electric actuator, or a pneumatic actuator, or an electromechanical actuator included in the cooling device 4. In the first embodiment disclosed, the actuator is an electric actuator.

[0050] The cooling device 4 can be configured and sized as needed, i.e., depending on the amount of heat dissipated when the compressor 3 is in use.

[0051] Therefore, the cooling device 4 is configured to dissipate a predetermined amount of heat when the compressor 3 is in use.

[0052] Figure 2 shows a second embodiment of the turbomachinery equipment.

[0053] In the second embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the turbomachinery equipment is - A sixth line L6 connects the first line L1 to the third line L3, - The first control valve FV1 is located on the sixth line L6, - A seventh line L7 connects the outlet 52 of the gas pressure compressor 5 to the second line L2, - The second control valve FV2 is located on the seventh line L7, - Further comprising a temperature measurement and control device D1 configured to measure and control the temperature value related to the amount of gas in the anti-surge circuit AC.

[0054] The first control valve FV1 is movable between an open state, which allows a certain amount of gas to pass from the suction unit SU to the anti-surge circuit AC, and a closed state, which prevents a certain amount of gas from passing from the suction unit SU to the anti-surge circuit AC.

[0055] The second control valve FV2 is movable between an open state, which allows a certain amount of gas to pass from the gas pressure compressor 5 to the second line L2, and a closed state, which prevents a certain amount of gas from passing from the gas pressure compressor 5 to the second line L2.

[0056] The gas flow rates at the valve outlets can be changed according to the opening of each control valve FV1 and FV2.

[0057] The temperature measurement and control device D1 is connected to a third line L3 between the cooling device 4 and the inlet 31 of the compressor 3.

[0058] Furthermore, the turbomachinery equipment is equipped with a storage means 8 (such as memory) for storing data, and the central control unit 7 is connected to the first control valve FV1, the second control valve FV2, the temperature measurement and control device D1, and the storage means 8. To store a predetermined temperature value in the storage means 8, To obtain temperature values ​​from the temperature measurement and control device D1, When the temperature measured by the temperature measurement control device D1 is higher than a predetermined temperature, the opening of the first control valve FV1 and the opening of the second control valve FV2 are adjusted such that a first amount of gas having a first temperature enters the anti-surge circuit AC through the first control valve FV1, a second amount of gas having a second temperature exits the anti-surge circuit AC, enters the gas pressure reducing compressor 5, exits the gas pressure reducing compressor 5, and reaches the second line L2 through the second control valve FV2, wherein the adjustment is performed so that the second amount of gas is equal to the first amount of gas and the second temperature is higher than the first temperature.

[0059] In other words, a certain amount of high-temperature gas exits the AC anti-surge circuit, and the same amount of fresh gas enters the AC anti-surge circuit.

[0060] In the disclosed embodiments, the central control unit 7 includes storage means 8. However, the storage means 8 may be located outside the central control unit 7 without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0061] To improve the control of the opening degrees of the first control valve FV1 and the second control valve FV2 based on the gas temperature value, it is possible to control the gas pressure and confirm that the gas pressure value is equal to a predetermined gas pressure value.

[0062] For this purpose, the turbomachinery equipment further comprises a pressure measuring and control device D2 configured to measure and control the pressure value of the gas in the anti-surge circuit AC, and the central control unit 7 is connected to the pressure measuring and control device D2. The predetermined pressure value is stored in the storage means 8, To obtain pressure values ​​from pressure measurement and control device D2, Confirm that the pressure value measured by the pressure measurement control device D2 is equal to a predetermined pressure value, The system is configured to adjust the opening of the first control valve FV1 and the second control valve FV2 so that, if the pressure value is not equal to a predetermined pressure value, the pressure value of the gas in the anti-surge circuit AC tends to become equal to the predetermined pressure value.

[0063] The pressure measurement and control device D2 is connected to the third line L3 of the anti-surge circuit AC between the cooling device 4 and the inlet 31 of the compressor 3. However, the pressure measurement and control device D2 can be connected to the third line L3 between the outlet 32 ​​of the compressor 3 and the cooling device 4 without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0064] In the second embodiment, a second on / off valve V2 is located on the fifth line L5. Such a second on / off valve V2 is movable between an open state, allowing a certain amount of gas discharged from the gas pressure compressor 5 (i.e., a second amount of gas having a second temperature) to flow into the fifth line L5, and a closed state, preventing a certain amount of gas discharged from the gas pressure compressor (i.e., a second amount of gas having a second temperature) from flowing into the fifth line L5. The central control unit 8 is connected to the second on / off valve V2 and is configured to close the second on / off valve V2 when adjusting the opening of the first control valve FV1 and the second control valve FV2, and to open the second on / off valve V2 when emptying the anti-surge circuit AC.

[0065] In the second embodiment disclosed, as already described in the first embodiment, the second end of the fifth line L5 is connected to the first line L1. Thus, the second on / off valve V2 allows a certain amount of gas discharged from the gas pressure compressor 5 to reach the first line L1 when the second on / off valve V2 is open, and prevents a certain amount of gas discharged from the gas pressure compressor 5 from reaching the first line L1 when the second on / off valve V2 is closed.

[0066] Referring to each embodiment disclosed above, the compressor 3 is positioned between the gas turbine 10 of the gas turbine module 1 and the variable frequency drive unit 2, and the compressor 3 is preferably connected to the gas turbine 10 by a self-synchronizing clutch 13.

[0067] A method for maximizing the power generated by the electrically reversible machinery of the turbomachinery equipment disclosed above is: Step 101 closes the first separation valve SV1 and the second separation valve SV2 so that a certain amount of gas flows substantially only through the anti-surge circuit AC, and step 102 opens the anti-surge valve AV. The procedure includes, in 103, opening the first on / off valve V1, and in 104, operating the gas pressure compressor 5, such that a certain amount of gas drawn in by the gas pressure compressor 5 moves from the anti-surge circuit AC to the gas pressure compressor 5, causing the compressor 3 to rotate, thereby reducing resistance, reducing power absorption, and maximizing the power generated by the electroreversible machine 21.

[0068] The advantage of this technical solution is that it maximizes the power generated by the reversible electric machine 2 when it functions as a generator to produce electricity. If the total output of the gas turbine 1 is the same, the power absorbed by the compressor 3 is less than the power absorbed by the compressors included in known types of turbomachinery equipment, and therefore the power generated by the reversible electric machine 2 is maximized. Furthermore, it is possible to increase the rotational speed of the reversible electric machine 2 to increase its capacity and supply more power.

[0069] Furthermore, a second advantage is that the increased rotational speed of the electrically reversible machine allows for an increase in the rotational speed of the gas turbine, which in turn increases the rotational speed of the gas turbine, resulting in higher gas turbine efficiency. In fact, gas turbine efficiency has improved by 2% to 4% in percentage terms.

[0070] A third advantage is that it is possible to maximize the power generated by the electroreversible machine through a technical solution that has low manufacturing costs relative to the benefits obtained. Therefore, the operating and capital expenditures for this technical solution are reduced compared to known types of turbomachinery equipment.

[0071] Another advantage is provided by the possibility of using a mechanically driven hybrid gas turbine.
