This invention discloses a robust primary
frequency regulation control method for thermal power units based on boiler
thermal inertia, belonging to the field of thermal
power control technology. The invention includes real-time acquisition of
unit load, main
steam pressure, regulating stage pressure, fuel quantity, and primary
frequency regulation command; calculation of the real-time available thermal storage pressure equivalent, fusing the boiler's nonlinear thermal storage state into a unified
state variable; construction of a time-varying sliding mode surface and adaptive feedforward compensation channel matching the
energy storage state; generation of robust
feedback control increments with time-varying
gain and active damping using the thermal storage equivalent and its rate of change; superposition of the feedforward and feedback increments, followed by amplitude limiting, and output of fuel command to form a closed-
loop control. This invention constructs a
dynamic mapping layer with the available thermal storage pressure equivalent as the
state variable, and designs a
nonlinear robust control law based on this layer, enabling the controller
gain to adaptively follow changes in the boiler's
energy storage state.
