Thereafter, through comparing the maximum power output with a maximum power regulation quantity required by a current frequency regulation, an optimal primary frequency regulation control scheme is selected, and a primary frequency regulation control logic is corrected, so as to be high-efficiently and accurately involved in the primary frequency regulation control and maintain a fast and stable grid frequency. The present invention improves a predictive accuracy of an actual effect of the various thermodynamic system regulation schemes and reduces a selection blindness of the primary frequency regulation schemes, so that an operation flexibility of the coal-fired power unit during the transient processes is greatly improved.

[0043] The present invention is further illustrated with the accompanying drawings and the preferred embodiment.

[0044] When a coal-fired unit is put into operation for a primary frequency regulation, as shown in FIG. 1, a conventional basic control logic is that: in a process of 1, a grid frequency deviation signal is detected by a measurement device and processed with digital-to-analog conversion, and then the processed signal is transmitted to a governor; in a process of 2, the governor converts the frequency signal into a power regulation signal (comprising setting of parameters such as frequency regulation dead band and speed droop), and transmits the signal to a PID (Proportion Integration Differentiation) controller; in a process of 3, the PID controller converts the inputted deviation signal into a valve regulation signal, and transmits to a valve actuation unit; in a process of 4, the valve actuation unit generates a valve displacement variation signal, which acts on a corresponding valve.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention introduces the new control logic that: in a process of 5, the grid frequency deviation signal is transmitted to a first processing unit f.sub.1(x); in a process of 6, the first processing unit f.sub.1(x) converts a maximum frequency signal to a maximum power regulation quantity signal, and transmits to a comparison selector; in a process of 7, pressure signals measured by pressure sensors of the thermodynamic system are transmitted to a second processing unit f.sub.2(x); in a process of 8, temperature signals measured by temperature sensors of the thermodynamic system are transmitted to the second processing unit f.sub.2(x); in a process of 9, in the second processing unit f.sub.2(x), according to temperature and pressure data of the thermodynamic system, real-time exergy storage amounts of different devices are obtained, wherein the physical property query of the water working medium can be loaded to the second processing unit f.sub.2(x) through the embedded data table or the fitting formula; in a process of 10, in a third processing unit f.sub.3(x), according to the real-time exergy storage amounts of the different devices, the exergy storage variation of each thermodynamic subsystem before and after acting of the thermodynamic system regulation schemes is calculated, and then is converted to the maximum power output of the various thermodynamic system regulation schemes, and the results thereof are transmitted to the comparison selector; in a process of 11, the maximum power regulation quantity signal obtained in the process of 6 and the maximum power output of the various regulation schemes obtained in the process of 10 are selected and judged in the comparison selector, then the optimal primary frequency regulation control scheme signal suitable for the current operation state is generated and transmitted to the valve actuation unit, and the selected primary frequency regulation control scheme signal is converted to the valve control signal of the corresponding scheme.

[0046] FIG. 2 shows changing curves of an additional power output and an exergy storage variation rate during regulation processes of the four thermodynamic system regulation schemes. At the 30.sup.th second, the four regulation schemes start to take action. It can be seen from FIG. 2 that: the decrease quantity of the exergy storage variation rate keeps consistent with the increase quantity of the additional power output in real-time, and the data change has a one-to-one correspondence, which is the theoretical basis of the realization of the present invention.
