DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0024] In view of the deficiency that the prior coordinated control system is incapable of simultaneously meet the situation of giving priority to guaranteeing the control quality of power generation load and the throttle pressure before the steam turbine under conventional load conditions, and the situation of giving priority to guaranteeing the combustion stability under deep peak-regulating load conditions, the present invention provides a flexible coordinated control system adapted to a thermal power unit in deep peak-regulating operation. The main features are as follows: on the basis of a traditional coordinated control system of a boiler-following mode, a reverse compensation channel from a fuel quantity instruction to a power generation load instruction is added; a flexible factor is constructed by using a main steam flow quantity signal, and the gain of the reverse compensation channel is corrected by the flexible factor in a product mode; the compensation channel outputs the reverse generation load instruction bias value to correct the power generation load instruction of the unit; by using the closed-loop regulation feature of the coordinated control system of the boiler-following mode to take the cost of reducing the control indexes of the power generation load and the throttle pressure before the steam turbine, the change rate and the downward change amplitude of the fuel quantity instruction are reduced. The following technical objectives can be achieved: under conventional load conditions, the flexible control system gives priority to guaranteeing the control quality of the power generation load and the throttle pressure before the steam turbine; under the deep peak-regulating conditions of the unit, when the change rate of the fuel quantity instruction exceeds the allowable fuel quantity change rate in the deep peak-regulating conditions and the fuel quantity instruction is less than the fuel quantity corresponding to the minimum stable combustion load, the control system will automatically reduce the change amplitude of the fuel quantity to ensure combustion stability.

Technical Principle

[0025] FIG. 1 shows a structural block diagram of the traditional coordinated control system of the boiler-following mode. The basic features are as follows: the deviation obtained by the load fixed value signal minus the power generation load signal enters the steam turbine-specific main control loop, and the valve opening degree instruction signal of the steam turbine is output to control the power generation load; the deviation obtained by the pressure fixed value signal minus the throttle pressure signal before the steam turbine enters the boiler-specific main control loop, and the fuel quantity instruction signal is output to control the throttle pressure before the steam turbine.

[0026] FIG. 2 shows a structural block diagram of the flexible coordinated control system adapted to deep peak-regulating operation. The main feature is to add the reverse compensation channel from the fuel quantity instruction signal to the power generation load instruction fixed value. The working mechanism is as follows: when the fuel quantity instruction increases, a power generation load instruction bias value is reversely superimposed on the original power generation load instruction fixed value of the unit according to a certain proportion, so that the superimposed power generation load instruction is decreased. In this way, under the regulation of the steam turbine-specific main control loop, the valve opening degree instruction is decreased, the power generation load is decreased and the throttle pressure before the steam turbine is increased, and then the fuel quantity instruction is decreased under the action of the boiler-specific main control loop. On the contrary, when the fuel quantity instruction decreases, a power generation load instruction bias value is reversely superimposed on the original power generation load instruction fixed value of the unit according to a certain proportion, so that the superimposed power generation load instruction is increased. In this way, under the regulation of the steam turbine-specific main control loop, the valve opening degree instruction is increased, the power generation load is increased and the throttle pressure before the steam turbine is decreased, and then the fuel quantity instruction is increased under the action of the boiler-specific main control loop. Therefore, this reverse compensation channel is equivalent to adding a negative feedback loop in the coordinated control system to restrict the change of the fuel quantity, which can automatically correct the power generation load and the throttle pressure before the steam turbine to reduce the fluctuation of fuel quantity when the fuel quantity fluctuates.

[0027] The essence of flexible coordinated control is to reduce the fluctuation amplitude of fuel quantity at the cost of reducing the control quality of the power generation load and the throttle pressure before the steam turbine. However, the advantage is that the reduction amplitude of the control quality of the power generation load and the throttle pressure before the steam turbine is controllable. On one hand, this compensation loop determines the quantitative correspondence between the change amplitude of fuel quantity and the deviation of power generation load, and the physical significance of the gain and loss is clear. On the other hand, the negative feedback introduced by adding the compensation loop improves the overall stability of the control system.

Technical Solution

[0028] A flexible coordinated control system adapted to a thermal power unit in deep peak-regulating operation is formed by adding the logic of the compensation channel shown in FIG. 3 on the basis of an original coordinated control system of a boiler-following mode, and the logic in the dotted frame in FIG. 3 is newly added. Specifically, SUM1-SUM4 are four summation calculation modules; RL is the change rate limiting module, and has the function of limiting the change rate of the input signal within the limit value and then outputting; A is the constant module; Hi/L is the high and low amplitude limiting module, and has the function of limiting the change amplitude of the input signal within the high and low limit values and then outputting; MUL is the multiplication calculation module; LAG is the first-order inertia filter module; F(x) is the multi-point broken line function module; and K is the gain calculation module.

[0029] The compensation channel logic includes a fuel quantity instruction change calculation logic and a flexible factor gain correction logic.

[0030] Firstly, the fuel quantity instruction change calculation logic is explained. A fuel quantity instruction signal is disposed by the change rate limiting module RL to obtain a fuel quantity instruction signal with a limited change rate. The fuel quantity instruction signal is subtracted by the fuel quantity instruction signal with the limited change rate through the first summation calculation module SUM1 to obtain a component signal where the fuel quantity instruction signal exceeds an allowable change rate. A fuel quantity signal corresponding to the boiler-specific minimum stable combustion load is output by the constant module A, and is then subtracted by the fuel quantity instruction signal through the second summation calculation module SUM2 to obtain the deviation. The amplitude of the deviation is limited through the high and low amplitude limiting module H/L to obtain a component signal where the fuel quantity instruction is lower than the minimum fuel quantity. The component signal where the fuel quantity instruction signal exceeds the allowable change rate and the component signal where the fuel quantity instruction is lower than the minimum fuel quantity are summed through the third summation calculation module SUM3 to obtain a fuel quantity instruction change compensation signal.

[0031] Secondly, the flexible factor gain correction logic is described. A boiler-specific main steam flow quantity signal is filtered by the first-order inertia filter module LAG, and then a flexible factor signal is calculated by the multi-point broken line function module F(x) using multi-point function. The gain of the flexible factor signal is adjusted by the module K, and is then multiplied with the fuel quantity instruction change compensation signal through the multiplication calculation module MUL to obtain a power generation load instruction bias signal.

[0032] The load fixed value signal in the original control logic is subtracted by the power generation load instruction bias signal through the fourth summation calculation module SUM4 to obtain a new power generation load fixed value signal.

[0033] The working principle of the compensation channel logic is as follows.

[0034] Under the deep peak-regulating condition of the unit, the allowable fuel quantity change rate does not exceed 0.01q.sub.ce/min, where q.sub.ce is the rated fuel quantity of the unit. The change rate limit value of the change rate limiting module RL is set to the allowable fuel quantity change rate under the deep peak-regulating condition of the unit, and then the fuel quantity instruction signal is subtracted by the fuel quantity instruction signal with the limited change rate to obtain the component signal where the fuel quantity instruction signal exceeds the allowable change rate (i.e., the component signal where the fuel quantity instruction rapidly changes). When the fuel quantity instruction signal change rate is less than the allowable value, the component signal where the fuel quantity instruction rapidly changes is 0. When the fuel quantity instruction signal change rate is greater than the allowable value, the component signal where the fuel quantity instruction signal exceeds the allowable change rate is not 0, which has a physical significance that the fuel quantity instruction change exceeds the allowable change amplitude. The output of the constant module A is set to the fuel quantity corresponding to the minimum stable combustion load of the unit, and is subtracted by the fuel quantity instruction signal to obtain a difference. The amplitude of the difference is limited to obtain the component signal where the fuel quantity instruction is less than the minimum fuel quantity. The high and low limited amplitude values of the high and low amplitude limiting module HA are shown in Table 1. When the fuel quantity instruction signal is greater than or equal to the minimum fuel quantity, the component signal where the fuel quantity instruction is less than the minimum fuel quantity is 0, and when the fuel quantity instruction signal is less than the minimum fuel quantity, the component signal where the fuel quantity instruction is less than the minimum fuel quantity is the part where the fuel quantity instruction is less than the minimum fuel quantity. In order to prevent the large fluctuation of the power generation load instruction caused by the abnormal fuel quantity instruction, the variation range of the component signal where the fuel quantity instruction is less than the minimum fuel quantity is limited to 0-0.1q.sub.ce. The fuel quantity instruction change compensation signal is obtained by summing the component signal where the fuel quantity instruction signal exceeds the allowable change rate and the component signal where the fuel quantity instruction signal is lower than the minimum fuel quantity. When the fuel quantity instruction change rate is excessively high and the fuel quantity instruction is excessively low, the output of the fuel quantity instruction change compensation signal will be greater than 0.

TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 Parameter setting of the HA module High limit value (t/h) 0.1 × q.sub.ce Low limit value (t/h) 0

[0035] The flexible factor is constructed by using the main steam flow quantity signal which can directly reflect the load of the unit. The range of the flexible factor is 0-1, where 0 represents that the unit is in the conventional load range, and 1 represents that the unit is in the deep peak-regulating load range, and the change between 0-1 represents that the unit is in the transition range from the conventional load to the deep peak-regulating load. First of all, the main steam flow quantity signal is filtered by first-order inertia filter, and the filtering time is 100 s. Then, the flexible factor signal is calculated by using the multi-point broken line function. The setting mode of the multi-point broken line function module F(x) is shown in Table 2, where q.sub.mse is the rated main steam flow quantity of the unit. Finally, the gain of the flexible factor is adjusted, and is then multiplied with the fuel quantity instruction change compensation signal to obtain the load instruction bias signal. When the unit is in the conventional load range, the flexible factor signal is 0, the load instruction bias signal is 0, and the compensation logic does not play a regulating role. When the unit is in the deep peak-regulating load range, the flexible factor signal is 1, the compensation logic plays a complete regulating role. When the unit is in the transition range from the conventional load to the deep peak-regulating load, the compensation logic plays a partial regulating role, and the regulating effect increases as the load approaches the deep peak-regulating load range.

[0036] The gain of the flexible factor signal is the only parameter that needs to be debugged in the control system, and the debugging is realized by setting a gain coefficient in the gain calculation module K. The range of the gain coefficient is 1-2 times of a quotient obtained through dividing the power generation load under static working conditions of the unit by the fuel quantity. The fluctuation amplitude of the fuel quantity decreases as the gain coefficient increases, but the control quality of the power generation load and the throttle pressure before the steam turbine decreases.

[0037] Implementation Steps

[0038] (1) Confirmation of Implementation Conditions

[0039] The present invention is suitable for the thermal power unit in deep peak-regulating operation, matching pulverized coal boilers or circulating fluidized bed boilers, and adopting the coordinated control system of the boiler-following mode.

[0040] (2) Control Logic Modification and Parameter Setting

[0041] In the distributed control system (DSC) of the unit, on the basis of the configuration logic of the original coordinated control system, the configuration logic of the reverse compensation channel from the fuel quantity instruction to the power generation load fixed value is added according to FIG. 3.

[0042] The parameters of the main modules in the logic are set as follows: the limit value of the change rate limiting module RL is set to be 0.01 times as much as the rated fuel quantity of the unit per minute; the output of the constant module A is set to the fuel quantity corresponding to the minimum stable combustion load of the unit; the high and low limit values of the high and low amplitude limiting module H/L are set as shown in Table 1; the filtering time of the first-order inertia filter module LAG is set to 100 s; the parameter setting of the multi-point broken line function module F(x) is shown in Table 2.

[0043] (4) Parameter Debugging

[0044] Under the normal operating condition of the unit, the output values of the multi-point broken line function module F(x) are all set to 1, and the gain coefficient in the gain calculation module K is debugged. The range of the gain coefficient is 1-2 times of the quotient obtained through dividing the power generation load under static working conditions of the unit by the fuel quantity. The fluctuation amplitude of the fuel quantity decreases as the gain coefficient increases, but the control quality of the power generation load and the throttle pressure before the steam turbine decreases. After debugging, the output values of the multi-point broken line function module F(x) are amended according to the setting mode of Table 2, and then the system can be put into utilization.
