Abstract

Improving the dynamic regulation ability of thermal power units is effective for realizing flexible scheduling in modern power systems. At present, the unit regulation capacity is usually reflected by the load adjustment of the main steam pressure and flow tracking ability, through the calculation of the given and real-time deviation to complete the load, and by pressure adjustment. However, although the calculation involved in this method is easy and the results are intuitive, overshoot and lag can easily occur. The main reason for this is that the process from boiler combustion to turbine works has strong hysteresis and inertia, and the feedback signal of the pressure and flow rate cannot dynamically reflect the change in boiler combustion and steam energy. According to the heat transfer process of the unit, the main steam temperature can directly reflect the energy transfer in the furnace combustion process and then reflect the changing trend of steam energy. Analyzing the changing characteristics of the temperature, pressure, and flow of superheated steam under rapid load regulations makes it possible to calculate the instantaneous energy storage value of the main steam before the regulating valve, and this value was inserted into the coordinate system as a new feedforward signal. Finally, a simulation model was established by using the actual running data of the unit. A simulation experiment under variable working conditions demonstrated that this method could improve the dynamic adjustment of the unit to load and pressure and help the power grid absorb renewable energy.
