Abstract

Proposed is an extraction control method for a steam turbine generator which can appropriately cope with a fluctuation in amount of extraction steam caused by adhesion of scale to a turbine, the lowering of the degree of vacuum in a condenser or the like. In the steam turbine generator including a steam flowmeter at an extraction outlet of the steam turbine and an automatically-controlled relief valve in an extraction line, an approximation formula obtained from a relation between a generator output and the amount of extraction steam is not directly programmed, but the generator output and the amount of extraction steam are inputted as parameters so as to enable respective approximate vertexes and gradients to be varied.

Description

[0008]
That is, when a factory is completely stopped so that heating, heat retention, or the like performed by 5 steam is not necessary, the turbine generator is operated i in the region A where extraction is unnecessary. When - the factory is in operation, extraction steam is used as steam for heating, heat retention, or the like so that " the turbine generator is operated in the region B or more. 2
When a power load of the factory is high, the turbine = generator is operated in a region C. Further, when the amount of extraction steam becomes larger than the amount of steam to be used in a factory, surplus steam is released into the atmosphere. When the turbine generator is operated while a generator output exceeds the region A, a fixed flow rate or greater of inlet steam is necessary to maintain a generator output.
The "region B" is also a region where the flow rate of inlet steam increases corresponding to a generator output, but the amount of extraction steam to be supplied is fixed so that existing extraction control is unstable.
Further, the "region C" is also a region where the flow rate of inlet steam increases corresponding to a generator output, and the amount of extraction steam also increases in a corresponding manner so that it is necessary to increase the amount of extraction steam corresponding to a generator output. A difference between a dotted line and a solid line in the graph indicates the amount of extraction steam.
9 je fo
[0009] o
In order to increase a generator output, in the z region A, even if the flow rate of inlet steam is © increased, power can be generated at the amount of we extraction steam of 0 T/Hr. In order to increase the = output to the region B, C, or more, the flow rate of -
RN inlet steam exceeds a capacity of the condenser. Hence, - it is necessary to increase the amount of extraction = steam. A left end of the region A indicates a minimum i» capacity of the generator, and a right end of the region
C indicates a maximum capacity of the generator.
[0010]
Accordingly, a relief valve is provided for releasing surplus steam into the atmosphere when the amount of extraction steam required for maintaining this generator output exceeds the amount of extraction steam to be used in a factory. In the region B and the region c, when the generator output fluctuates with a fluctuation in amount of power to be used in a factory, or when the amount of steam to be supplied to a factory or the amount of extraction steam fluctuates with a fluctuation in amount of extraction steam to be used in the factory, the relief valve is opened or closed to maintain the amount of extraction steam required for maintaining a generator output.
[0011]
According to the extraction control method for a steam turbine generator, the automatically-controlled
10 i. bi relief valve installed on the extraction line can be oo automatically controlled in an independent manner based = [ on an appropriate amount of extraction steam which = corresponds to a generator load. Thus, it is possible to wo reduce an excessively large amount of extraction steam to = be released into the atmosphere and to maintain a stable . generator output even when a generator load or the amount ~ of extraction steam to be used in a factory unexpectedly © and rapidly fluctuates. Further, the steam flowmeter and - the automatically-controlled relief valve installed on the extraction line can be easily and additionally installed on an existing turbine generator control device without applying any change to the existing turbine generator control device. Therefore, it is possible to acquire an excellent effect that there is no possibility of equipment cost becoming high.
[0012]
However, the extraction control method for a steam turbine generator has the following problems.
That 1s, in the turbine generator which extracts steam from an intermediate stage of the steam turbine, and supplies the steam to a factory, the amount of extraction steam with respect to a generator output is determined by characteristics of the turbine so that a relief valve can be automatically controlled using an approximation formula obtained from a relation between the generator output and the amount of extraction steam.
However, steam to be supplied to the turbine contains
& impurities such as silica or chloride ion, or a das. on
Hence, when adhesion of scale to a turbine, the lowering - of the degree of vacuum in a condenser or the like causes < a capacity of a condenser to lower thus deteriorating a we release of steam to the discharge side, it becomes =o necessary to increase the amount of extraction steam to - maintain a generator output of the turbine. When the - operation of the steam turbine generator is continued = while the relief valve is automatically controlled using the approximation formula in such a situation, there is a possibility that a set value of the amount of extraction steam obtained as a result of the calculation lowers the actual amount of extraction steam so that the amount of steam being released into the atmosphere becomes insufficient, thus increasing the pressure of extraction steam and causing insufficient amount of extraction steam.
Hence, a generator output cannot be maintained. To prevent such a phenomenon, it 1s necessary to review a programmed calculation expression, and to rewrite the calculation expression while automatic control of the relief valve is stopped. Further, in a factory having a plurality of turbines, it is necessary to determine an approximation formula according to characteristics of each turbine, and program a different calculation expression for each turbine.

Description of Embodiments
[0019]
The system configuration for carrying out an extraction control method for a steam turbine generator according to the present invention as shown FIG. 1 includes: an extraction turbine type steam turbine 1 which converts a thermal energy of steam introduced from a superheated steam producing boiler (not shown) into a drive energy; a steam regulating valve 2 which adjusts a flow rate of steam to be introduced through a steam introducing port 2-1; an extraction regulating valve 3; an extraction pressure gauge 4; a speed indicator 5; a speed governor 6; a condenser 7; an extraction line 8; a steam flowmeter 9 installed at an extraction outlet of the steam turbine 1; a calculation and control device 10; da
18 CE and an automatically-controlled relief valve (adjusting valve) 12 equipped with a controller.
Also in the system ~ configuration according to the present invention, the = steam turbine 1 has a high pressure stage 1-1 and a low pressure stage 1-2. Steam which flows into the high > pressure stage 1-1 is extracted on the upstream side of o the extraction regulating valve 3, that 1s, on an - intermediate stage of the turbine 1, a flow of steam into = the low pressure stage 1-2 is controlled by the .
extraction regulating valve 3, and steam is then supplied to a factory through the extraction line 8 provided in the intermediate stage of the turbine 1. In the system configuration example, the configurations of constitutional elements other than the steam flowmeter 9,
the calculation and control device 10, and the automatically-controlled relief valve 12 equipped with the controller are substantially equal to the configurations of corresponding constitutional elements in the conventional art shown in FIG. 5. In the system configuration according to the present invention, a steam flowmeter and a relief valve which allows a sufficient amount of steam to flow therethrough are used for the steam flowmeter 9 and the relief valve 12 equipped with the controller.
In measuring a flow rate of steam at the turbine extraction outlet, the difference between a flow rate of steam at the turbine inlet and a flow rate of water at an outlet of the condenser 7 which is used for treating turbine exhaust may also be used.

The system configuration example of this steam = od turbine generator is a system where the amount of = extraction steam is set with respect to an indication of we the steam flowmeter 9 for measuring the amount of o extraction steam installed at the extraction outlet of » i the steam turbine 1 thus adjusting an opening of the - relief valve 12. When extraction steam is supplied to a = factory, the sum of the set amount of extraction steam to - be used in the factory and the amount of steam being released into the atmosphere becomes the amount of extraction steam. Accordingly, when the set amount of extraction steam to be used in the factory exceeds the amount of extraction steam, an opening of the relief valve 12 is closed. On the other hand, when the set amount of extraction steam to be used in the factory is lower than the amount of extraction steam, an opening of the relief valve 12 is opened to release surplus steam into the atmosphere thus maintaining the amount of extraction steam. The relief valve 12 is automatically controlled as described above.
[0021]
In the system configuration example of this steam turbine generator, in the case where the relief valve 12 is automatically controlled by the amount of extraction steam, which is determined by characteristics of the steam turbine 1, in a turbine generator which extracts steam from the intermediate stage of the steam turbine 1
© and supplies the steam to a factory, when the amount of oo extraction steam is increased due to adhesion of scale to = the steam turbine 1, the lowering of the degree of vacuum > in the condenser 7 or the like, it is necessary to change Re control characteristics of the relief valve 12. The = present invention employs means described hereinafter in order to cope with these fluctuations. -
That is, an approximation formula obtained from a 2 relation between the generator output and the amount of o extraction steam is not directly programmed, but the generator output and the amount of extraction steam are inputted as parameters, and respective vertexes and gradients of an approximate polygonal line are varied.
To be more specific, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, the intersection of the generator output and the amount of extraction steam, defining respective vertexes of a polygonal line, is set as parameters at ten points from
P1 to P10 according to characteristics of the steam turbine 1. An actual generator output is sequentially compared with generator outputs set at the points Pl to
P10 until a corresponding zone is found. After the corresponding zone is found, a value at a point of intersection with a line segment which connects two points is calculated as the amount of extraction steam, and the result of calculation is outputted as a set value for extraction steam amount control for controlling the relief valve 12. For example, when an actual generator output falls between the point P7 and the point P8, a
21 Li value A at a point of intersection with a line segment — having a start point at the point P7 and an end point at - the point P8 is outputted as a set value for extraction © steam amount control as the amount of extraction steam. we
Surplus steam can be controlled in an independent manner = by the relief valve 12 based on the set value and the set s amount of steam to be used in a factory. ~
[0022] =
The extraction control method for this steam turbine =” generator is described based on a flowchart shown in FIG. 2. First of all, parameters are set based on a relation between the generator output and the amount of extraction steam. Next, based on the parameter characteristics, a set value of the amount of extraction steam which corresponds to a generator output is obtained, and the set amount of extraction steam and the set amount of steam to be used in a factory are compared with each other. As a result, when the set amount of extraction steam is larger than the set amount of steam to be used in a factory, the opening of the relief valve 12 is opened. On the other hand, when the set amount of extraction steam is smaller than the set amount of steam to be used in a factory, the opening of the relief valve 12 is closed. Such calculations and comparisons are continuously performed. Hence, even if parameters are changed, control characteristics of the relief valve, such as respective starting points and gradients of a
© polygonal line, can be corrected without stopping control oo of the relief valve. iN

The present invention relates to an extraction = control method for a steam turbine generator which extracts steam from an intermediate stage of a turbine and supplies the Steam to a factory, and more specifically to an extraction control method for a steam turbine generator and a control device for the steam turbine generator which can, in a method of automatically controlling a relief valve by the amount of extraction steam required for maintaining a generator output which is determined by characteristics of the turbine, not only appropriately cope with fluctuation in generator load and in amount of extraction steam but also appropriately cope with fluctuation in amount of extraction steam which is caused by adhesion of scale to the turbine, the lowering of the degree of vacuum in a condenser or the like.
Background Art
[0002]
For steam turbine generators which extract steam from an intermediate stage of a turbine and supply the steam to a factory, an internal extraction pressure control type turbine generator is known where a pressure _ control valve is provided in the inside of a casing of - the turbine, and a pressure control is performed on the > upstream side of the pressure control valve so as to i maintain a constant extraction pressure thereby allowing o a stable pressure supply at every turbine load level from . a low load to the rated load. The internal extraction - pressure control type turbine generator is composed of: ® an extraction turbine type steam turbine 21 which o converts a thermal energy of steam introduced from a boiler for producing superheated steam (not shown in the drawing) into a drive energy; a steam regulating valve 22 which adjusts a flow rate of steam to be introduced through a steam introducing port 22-1; an extraction regulating valve 23; an extraction pressure gauge 24; a speed indicator 25; a speed governor 26; a condenser 27; and a relief valve 28, as this system configuration example is shown in FIG. 5. The steam turbine 21 has a high pressure stage 21-1 and a low pressure stage 21-2.
Steam which flows into the high pressure stage 21-1 of the steam turbine 21 is extracted on the upstream side of the extraction regulating valve 23, a flow of steam into the low pressure stage 21-2 is controlled by the extraction regulating valve 23, and the steam is then supplied to a factory through an extraction line 29.
[0003]
In controlling the extraction turbine type steam turbine 21 in the internal extraction pressure control
3 i. © type turbine generator, a revolution speed measured by o the speed indicator 25 and an extraction pressure measured by the extraction pressure gauge 24 are required. >
When a load on the steam turbine 21 or a required amount o of extraction fluctuates, it is necessary to control the - limit of the steam regulating valve 22 and the limit of . the extraction regulating valve 23. For this reason, the - internal extraction pressure control type turbine o generator has a mechanism which automatically controls = both valves of the steam regulating valve 22 and the extraction regulating valve 23 to maintain a revolution speed of the steam turbine 21, a generator output and extraction.
[0004]
A manual valve or an automatically-controlled adjusting valve is used for the relief valve 28. When the manual valve is used for the relief valve 28, the relief valve 28 is controlled to a valve opening with an allowance in advance roughly corresponding to a generator load and a flow rate of inlet steam. On the other hand, for a method where the automatically-controlled adjusting valve is used, a method is disclosed in Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2 where an adjusting valve for releasing steam into the atmosphere is installed to an extraction line and, when an extraction pressure becomes a set pressure or more, an opening of the adjusting valve is automatically controlled by the extraction pressure.
The method disclosed in Patent Literature 1 is a control method where, in a steam turbine control device formed of z a speed control device or a load control device and an N extraction control device, when an extraction regulating = valve becomes a fully opened state or a minimum opening, - or when an adjusting valve becomes a fully opened state, Zn a speed control or a load control is excluded from the - control, and an extraction control is performed in = preference to other controls. Further, the method = disclosed in Patent Literature 2 is a method where, in a = boiler turbine generator where an extraction steam - passage includes: a turbine bypass pipe through which surplus steam 1s released to the condenser side; and a load control device which controls boiler steam to be introduced into a steam turbine corresponding to a generator load, the surplus steam is constantly released to the condenser from the extraction steam passage by the turbine bypass pipe through which the surplus steam is released to the condenser side, an input signal of a bypass device which controls a bypass amount of the bypass pipe 1s transmitted from the extraction steam passage, and a control of an amount of bypass steam which corresponds to load fluctuation is performed in preference to a load control device.
[0005]
However, the above-mentioned conventional extraction control technique for the steam turbine generator has been the following problems.

Li
In the steam turbine generator which extracted steam from the intermediate stage of the turbine and supplies oO fr. d the steam to a factory, when a manual valve was used for = the relief valve provided for coping with the fluctuation we 5 in generator load and amount of extraction steam to be o used in a factory, the relief valve was adjusted to an . opening with an allowance in advance roughly ~ corresponding to a generator load and a flow rate of = inlet steam and therefore an excessively large amount of = steam was released into the atmosphere. In addition, the manual valve might not cope with an unexpected rapid fluctuate in generator load or amount of extraction steam to be used in a factory.
On the other hand, in the method where the relief valve was replaced with an automatically-controlled adjusting valve disclosed in Patent Literatures 1 and 2 so that the adjusting valve was controlled by an extraction pressure, the extraction pressure fluctuated due to opening and closing of the relief valve.
Accordingly, the control of a steam regulating valve, an extraction regulating valve and the like, which were controlled by the extraction pressure in the same manner, was affected and hence, there has been a problem that a stable control of these valves could not be performed.
[0006]
In order to solve these problems of the conventional art, there is a conventional extraction control method for a steam turbine generator where a relief valve is
6 pen
Li automatically controlled in an independent manner based - on an appropriate amount of extraction steam which wo
Fo corresponds to a generator load and hence, it is possible = to reduce an excessively large amount of extraction steam wo to be released into the atmosphere and, even when a o generator load or an amount of extraction steam to be . used in a factory unexpectedly and rapidly fluctuates, a ~ stable generator output can be maintained. ©
The extraction control method for a steam turbine o generator is configured to extract steam from an intermediate stage of a steam turbine and to supply the steam to a factory, the steam turbine generator including a steam flowmeter at an extraction outlet of the steam turbine and an automatically-controlled relief valve in an extraction line, wherein a set value of an amount of extraction steam which corresponds to a generator load is obtained by calculation based on characteristics of a flow rate of inlet steam and an amount of extraction steam with respect to a generator output of the steam turbine generator, and surplus steam is independently controlled by the relief valve based on the set value.
Further, in the extraction control method for a steam turbine generator, it is a method where, based on a relation between the generator output and the set value of the amount of extraction steam shown in FIG. 6, a region where extraction is unnecessary (region A), a region where an existing extraction control is unstable (region B), and a region where an amount of extraction
7 = steam is required to increase corresponding to a turbine =o output (region C) are set, and the required amount of - i extraction steam is set to 0 T/Hr in the region where the © extraction is unnecessary (region A), a constant exhaust io amount is set in the region where the existing extraction = control is unstable (region B), and the amount of extraction steam is set to be proportional to a generator - load in the region where the amount of extraction steam © is required to increase corresponding to the turbine - output (region C).
[0007]
FIG. 7 is a graph illustrating the relation between a generator output, the flow rate of inlet steam, and the amount of extraction steam in the above-mentioned internal extraction pressure control type turbine generator, and "region A" is a region where increasing the flow rate of inlet steam allows a generator output to be outputted even if the amount of extraction steam is 0
T/Hr. However, if the flow rate of inlet steam is increased to exceed a level of the capacity of a condenser, extraction becomes necessary. When the generator output exceeds the region A, the flow rate of inlet steam exceeds the capacity of the condenser. Hence, a required generator output cannot be outputted without performing extraction. Accordingly, when the generator output shifts from the region A to a region B, it becomes necessary to rapidly carry out extraction causing a line of the amount of extraction steam to be discontinuous.
