Description

Gas turbine combustor outlet temperature optimization adjustment method and system TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of gas turbines, and particularly relates to a gas turbine combustor outlet temperature optimization adjustment method and system. BACKGROUND

[0002] A gas turbine is a highly efficient heat energy conversion device that generates high-temperature and high-pressure gas by burning fuel, and then drives the turbine to rotate to convert into mechanical energy. The combustor outlet temperature is a key parameter in the operation of the gas turbine, which has a crucial influence on the efficiency, safety and life of the entire system, and pollutant emissions. In terms of efficiency, the higher the combustor outlet temperature, the more heat energy can be converted into mechanical energy, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the entire system. However, this process is not unlimited, because too high a combustor outlet temperature can increase the thermal stress of the material and affect the service life of the gas turbine. In terms of safety and life, the combustor and turbine parts of the gas turbine need to use materials that can withstand high temperatures, such as nickel-based alloys. The control of the combustor outlet temperature is crucial to ensure that these high-temperature components do not exceed the heat resistance limit of their materials. In addition, uniform distribution of the combustor outlet temperature can reduce thermal stress and prolong the service life of the components. In terms of emission control, a higher combustor outlet temperature can promote more complete combustion, reducing the emission of unburned hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide, but on the contrary, it will increase the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx), because high temperature can promote the reaction of nitrogen and oxygen in the air to generate more nitrogen oxides.

[0003] In summary, the control of the combustor outlet temperature of the gas turbine is crucial to ensure the high efficiency, safety, environmental protection and economy of the entire system. Precise control of the combustor outlet temperature is crucial to ensure the safe operation of the gas turbine. By precisely controlling the combustor outlet temperature, not only can the safe operation of the gas turbine be ensured, but also the maintenance cycle and service life of the gas turbine can be effectively prolonged, the maintenance cost of the gas turbine is reduced, and the economic benefit of the gas turbine is improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] In order to make the above objectives, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor should fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0039] Embodiment 1, referring to Figure 1, is the first embodiment of the present application, which provides a method for optimizing and adjusting the outlet temperature of the combustion chamber of the gas turbine, comprising: the present scheme uses the inlet pressure P2 of the combustion chamber and combines the pressure loss coefficient of the combustion chamber to calculate the turbine inlet pressure, and then calculates the turbine inlet temperature T3, which is simple and feasible, and has high implementation efficiency.

[0040] The present scheme does not need to be tested, but only needs to establish a gas turbine heat balance calculation model and a gas turbine combustion chamber numerical model, and uses a curve fitting method to obtain the total pressure loss coefficient σ c and the specific heat ratio γ of the combustion chamber outlet gas at different loads, which improves the calculation accuracy of the turbine inlet temperature.

[0041] The present scheme retrieves the operating parameters such as the inlet pressure P2 of the combustion chamber, the turbine exhaust pressure P4, and the turbine exhaust temperature T4 in the real-time database of the gas turbine generator set, and can calculate the turbine inlet temperature in real time, and compare it with the turbine inlet temperature limit value in real time. According to the distance between the comparison result and the turbine inlet temperature safety threshold α, the IGV opening and the fuel flow are adjusted in real time, the turbine inlet temperature of the gas turbine is improved at partial load, and the cycle thermal efficiency of the gas turbine is improved.

[0042] The scheme makes up the defect that the turbine inlet temperature of the gas turbine cannot be directly measured, and makes the turbine inlet temperature control of the gas turbine more accurate, can improve the cycle thermal efficiency of the gas turbine at low load, can increase the IGV opening at high load, increase the air flow into the gas turbine, reduce the turbine inlet temperature, prevent turbine blade burning, and improve the operation safety of the gas turbine.

[0043] 1), establish a three-dimensional combustion calculation numerical model of the combustion chamber of the gas turbine.

[0044] 2), because the outlet gas temperature of the combustion chamber of the gas turbine is high, generally no measuring point is directly measured to measure the pressure and temperature of the outlet gas of the combustion chamber, in order to obtain the inlet and outlet boundary parameters required for the three-dimensional combustion calculation numerical model of the combustion chamber of the gas turbine, a Thermoflow gas turbine heat balance calculation model is established by using Thermoflow power plant heat balance analysis professional software, according to the type of gas turbine used in the gas power plant, the boundary parameters of the calculation model are set according to the historical operation data of the gas turbine, and the accuracy of the calculation model is verified by using the historical operation data of the gas turbine. The inlet and outlet boundary parameters of the combustion chamber of the gas turbine from start-up to full load operation are calculated by using the verified Thermoflow gas turbine heat balance calculation model. Considering that the pollutant emission of the gas turbine will exceed the standard at low load, the gas turbine generator set generally works in the load interval of 50% to 100%. Therefore, the above method is mainly used to calculate the inlet air and fuel mass flow, temperature and outlet pressure of the combustion chamber of the gas turbine at typical loads of 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100%, and the typical load can be selected and determined according to the frequently operated load point of the gas turbine. In the three-dimensional combustion calculation numerical model of the combustion chamber of the gas turbine established in the first step, the inlet and outlet boundary parameters of the combustion chamber are set according to the calculation results of the second step, and the pressure field, temperature field and velocity field in the combustion chamber of the gas turbine at typical loads of 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100% are calculated respectively.

[0045] 3), according to the calculation results of step 2, the total pressure P2* of the combustion chamber inlet, the total pressure P3* of the combustion chamber outlet and the specific heat ratio γ of the combustion chamber outlet gas at typical loads of 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100% are analyzed and obtained, and the total pressure loss coefficient σ of the combustion chamber is calculated by using the formula c .

[0046] 4), the total pressure loss coefficient σ of the combustion chamber c and the specific heat ratio γ of the combustion chamber outlet gas calculated in step 3 are fitted by using the curve fitting method, and the total pressure loss coefficient σ of the combustion chamber c ​and the calculation formula of the specific heat ratio γ of the gas at the outlet of the combustion chamber. σ c = f(w) γ = g(w) (1)

[0047] In the formula, w is the independent variable relative load, f(w) is the calculation function of the total pressure loss coefficient of the combustion chamber obtained by fitting, and g(w) is the calculation function of the specific heat ratio of the gas at the outlet of the combustion chamber obtained by fitting.

[0048] 5) The calculation formula of the turbine inlet temperature T3 (i.e. the outlet temperature of the combustion chamber) is established by using the energy change characteristics of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the turbine:

[0049] In the formula, T4 is the turbine exhaust temperature of the gas turbine, P2 is the exhaust pressure of the gas turbine compressor, and P4 is the turbine exhaust pressure of the gas turbine.

[0050] 6) The turbine exhaust temperature T4, the exhaust pressure P2 of the gas turbine compressor, and the turbine exhaust pressure P4 of the gas turbine are obtained from the operation data of the gas turbine generator set, and the turbine inlet temperature T3 is calculated by combining formula (1) and formula (2).

[0051] 7) The calculated turbine inlet temperature T3 and the combustion pressure fluctuation data obtained from the operation data of the gas turbine generator set are fed back to the gas turbine control system, and the gas turbine control system makes the following judgments: 1) when T 3r -T3≥α(T 3r is the turbine inlet temperature limit value set in the gas turbine control system, and α is the turbine inlet temperature safety threshold value set in the gas turbine control system), and the combustion pressure fluctuation value is less than the alarm value, the IGV opening degree is reduced by 1%; 2) when T 3r -T3≥α, but the combustion pressure fluctuation value is greater than the alarm value, the fuel flow is increased by 0.5%; 3) when T 3r -T3<0, the IGV opening degree is increased by 1%.

[0052] 8) After executing the control instruction of the gas turbine control system in step 7, the turbine inlet temperature is calculated in real time, and the new IGV and fuel flow control instructions are generated in real time according to the change of the combustion pressure fluctuation data, until the turbine inlet temperature T3 is higher than T 3r -α for the first time, so that the turbine inlet temperature T3 is as close as possible to the turbine inlet temperature limit value T 3r under safe conditions, and the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine generator is improved.

[0053] The above is a schematic scheme of the gas turbine combustor outlet temperature optimization adjustment method of the embodiment. It should be noted that the technical scheme of the gas turbine combustor outlet temperature optimization adjustment method system belongs to the same concept as the technical scheme of the above-mentioned gas turbine combustor outlet temperature optimization adjustment method.
