The present invention relates to a technical field of thermal control of thermal power plants, and more particularly to an optimized control method for a primary frequency regulation based on an exergy storage correction of a thermodynamic system of a coal-fired unit.
With the problems, such as energy shortage, environmental pollution and climatic change, becoming increasingly prominent, the renewable energy source utilization of various countries is increased year by year. However, most of the renewable energy sources have the features of intermittency and the fluctuation, and are easily influenced by the environmental conditions, which causes the great impact to the safety stability of the electric power system, so that it is necessary to increase the grid flexibility. The short-term grid regulation mainly refers to the primary frequency regulation; that is to say, under the conditions that the load frequently changing in the small range is adjusted and the grid accident happens, the output of the power unit is rapidly adjusted, so as to inhibit the further deterioration of the grid frequency. Because of the advantages of large volume, controllable power, no geographical restriction of the coal-fired power unit, the coal-fired power unit has been widely applied in the operation flexibility adjustment of the grid. From the coal-fired unit itself, any method able to rapidly release the thermal storage of the unit and convert into the output power can be adopted as the means of the primary frequency regulation. The conventional regulation schemes comprise a live steam valve regulation scheme, a high-pressure heater extraction steam regulation scheme, a low-pressure heater extraction steam regulation scheme, a cooling water regulation scheme, a heating network energy storage regulation scheme, etc. However, because the unit itself is in the transient operation processes, if directly selecting the regulation scheme according to the steady-state regulation ability, it easily causes the insufficient regulation ability, and is unable to realize the automatic control. Thus, from the essence of the operating characteristics of the transient processes, the strategy and data guidance are provided for the primary frequency regulation control of the coal-fired unit, so as to fundamentally improve the operational flexibility of the coal-fired power unit.
An object of the present invention is to provide an optimized control method for a primary frequency regulation based on an exergy storage correction of a thermodynamic system of a coal-fired unit, so as to solve problems that various thermodynamic system regulation schemes of the coal-fired unit during transient processes are unable to be accurately and automatically involved in primary frequency regulation control. According to an exergy storage variation before and after acting of each thermodynamic system regulation scheme, the method provided by the present invention is able to accurately judge a regulation ability and an economy of each regulation scheme, so as to effectively select a reasonable scheme to be involved in the primary frequency regulation during the transient processes, and rapidly and effectively ensure a stability of a grid frequency.
