According to the method and
system for calculating the efficiency of the low-pressure cylinder of the
steam turbine on line, under the reference working condition and multiple working conditions, parameters such as
steam pressure, temperature and
back pressure of an inlet and an outlet of a first stage, a second stage and a third stage of the low-pressure cylinder are collected, the efficiency of each stage and the efficiency of the low-pressure cylinder are calculated, dimensionless
processing is carried out, and the efficiency of the low-pressure cylinder is calculated; and establishing a multiple regression model which takes the
superheated steam stage efficiency as an independent variable and takes the low-pressure cylinder efficiency as a dependent variable. And considering the influence of the
back pressure on the efficiency of the low-pressure cylinder, establishing a compensation model, and correcting the predicted efficiency of the low-pressure cylinder. In actual operation, the parameters are collected in real time, the efficiency of the current stage is calculated and substituted into the regression model and the compensation model, and the real-
time efficiency of the low-pressure cylinder is obtained. According to the method, direct measurement of
wet steam parameters is avoided by utilizing
superheated steam stage data which are easy to obtain, real-time and accurate calculation of the efficiency of the low-pressure cylinder under different working conditions is realized, and the method can be widely applied to
performance monitoring, operation optimization and fault diagnosis of a turboset.
