Latest ArticlesIn response to the instability problem of distributed new energy as an independent power source supplying energy to household energy systems, a capacity configuration method for distributed home energy systems based on hydrogen energy is proposed. This method is based on the characteristics of hydrogen energy that can suppress wind and solar fluctuations and flexibly convert load demands, and constructs a hydrogen coupled distributed energy family terminal energy system structure. Combining with the characteristics of renewable resources in the region, a hydrogen based distributed household energy system capacity allocation model is established with the goal of minimizing the net total cost. Taking the wind and solar resources and typical household energy data in Xinjiang region as an example, the impact of the configuration capacity of distributed energy and hydrogen energy systems on the system is simulated and analyzed, and the optimal capacity configuration of hydrogen energy systems under the optimal wind and solar ratio conditions is obtained. From the simulation results, it can be seen that the proposed model can effectively reduce the total cost of the household energy system while achieving reliable energy supply off the grid, and promote the consumption of new energy, which provides suggestions for the design of distributed household energy based on hydrogen energy.
The dynamic characteristics of the bottoming cycle of a gas turbine combined cycle have a significant influence on the load variation characteristics of the unit. Partially recuperation is a new method which can be used to improve the performance of combined cycle at partial load, it is an important part of system feasibility evaluation to study the effect of partially recuperation on the dynamic characteristics of the bottoming cycle. In this paper, a dynamic simulation model of the bottoming cycle system of a partially recuperative combined cycle unit is established by using modular modeling method, and the dynamic characteristics of inlet parameter disturbance and load shedding process are studied. The results show that, the dynamic model can accurately reflect the dynamic characteristics of the bottoming cycle, and the simulation results show that the dynamic response of partially recuperative units facing the disturbance of exhaust parameters is consistent with that of conventional units. The disturbance of exhaust temperature T4 mainly affects the high-pressure superheated steam and reheated steam, and the influence range is larger. The disturbance of T4 with 5% can reduce the bottoming cycle power by 16.32%. The response speed of the unit is slower, and the time constant of the steam turbine power is about 400. The disturbance of exhaust flow affects the steam of each stage, and the influence range is relatively small, the disturbance of 10% reduces the bottoming cycle power by 9.49%, the response speed of the unit is faster, the time constant of the steam turbine power is about 60. When the recuperative ratio is disturbed, the dynamic response of the unit is similar to that of the T4 disturbance, and the operation strategy of recuperative regulation results in the load variation of the combined cycle being borne entirely by the bottoming cycle, the time needed for partially recuperative units to reach steady state is 1 100 s later than that of conventional units, and the recuperative regulation mode is suitable for use in the load interval below 51.4%.
In order to understand the performance changes and potential risks of hydrogen assisted combustion in combustion chamber of a lean-combustion premixed gas turbine, a numerical simulation study of the hydrogen injection combustion process of natural gas was carried out in the combustion chamber of Siemens SGT-800 gas turbine. The fuel ignition, temperature distribution, flame formation and NOx emission characteristics of the combustion chamber under five working conditions of 0, 5%, 10%, 15% and 30% were investigated. Studies have shown that hydrogen-doped combustion in the current combustion chamber will lead to an earlier ignition position of the fuel, an increase in temperature peaks, a shorter axial length of the flame, and a gradual convergence of the outer duty flame towards the central mixer. The temperature distribution and flame morphology in the combustion chamber will not change significantly when the hydrogen-doped ratio is below 15%, but the ignition position in the mixer tube is seriously retracted at 30% hydrogen-doped ratio, and the flame on the outside is close to the nozzle outlet, which has a risk of tempering. In addition, the NOx emission value of the combustion chamber outlet increases with the hydrogen doping ratio, and the NOx emission value exceeds the standard by nearly 1/3 at 30% hydrogen doping ratio, indicating that high NOx emission is also one of the factors restricting the high proportion of hydrogen doping in gas turbines.
A Python model was established for thermal performance of the heavy-duty gas-steam combined cycle triple-pressure heat recovery steam generator. The model calculates the detailed heat recovery steam generator parameters under the condition of changing unit load, including main steam pressure and flow rate, heat and heat transfer coefficient of each heat exchanger, as well as power output and efficiency. As the effect of exhaust gas temperature and flow rate on the heat recovery steam generator is analyzed, how the ambient temperature, humidity and fuel heating affect the heat recovery steam generator output is also discussed when the unit is in part-load. It is verified that the model has good simulation accuracy and calculation efficiency. Simulations for one certain frame gas turbine combined cycle show that: When the unit load is reduced from full load 650 MW to partial load 250 MW, the triple main steam pressure and feed water flow rate of heat recovery steam generator decrease, the steam turbine power output decreases from 219.1 MW to 130.4 MW, and the efficiency of heat recovery steam generator increases from 89.3% to 92.1%; main-steam flow increases as the flue gas flow rate and temperature increase at the inlet of heat recovery steam generator; As the load of the random group decreases, the heat transfer coefficient and heat transfer amount of each heat exchange surface of the waste heat boiler decreases, but the proportion of heat exchanger between the flue gas and the high-temperature section heat exchanger in the total heat increases, and the heat transfer between the flue gas and the low-temperature section increases. The proportion of heat exchanger heat transfer in the total heat is reduced; when the unit load is reduced from 650 MW to 300 MW, the proportion of steam turbine shaft power increases by 1.67 percentage points, the proportion of heat loss in the chimney flue gas decreases by 2.63 percentage points.
Under partial shading conditions (PSC), the P-U characteristics of a solar photovoltaic array may exhibit multi-peak phenomena. Conventional algorithms tend to fall into local maximum power point (LMPP), while maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods based on meta heuristic algorithms are difficult to balance speed and accuracy. In this regard, this paper designs a hybrid algorithm based on the improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) with embedded the improved perturbation and observation (IP&O). The velocity and position of the particle are first updated by the IPSO algorithm. Then, perform MPPT based on the position of particles using the IP&O algorithm. The tracked power is used as the fitness value of the particles, so that IPSO can find the global maximum power point (GMPP) among many LMPPs. Finally, with the global optimal output of IPSO as the initial position, IP&O is used again for global maximum power point tracking (GMPPT). Comparing the proposed algorithm with IP&O, IPSO, and IPSO-P&O through simulation, the simulation results show that the proposed algorithm performs excellently in tracking speed and accuracy, especially in the case of a wide voltage search range, and has smaller power oscillations during the tracking process.
The photovoltaic array will produce multi-peak P-U characteristics under partial shading conditions. Aiming at the problem of how to quickly and accurately realize maximum power point tracking (MPPT) to avoid a large amount of energy loss, this paper proposes an improved aquila optimization (AO) algorithm, which uses Circle chaotic mapping and reverse learning strategy to reasonably allocate the initial population position, so as to shorten the optimization time of the algorithm. At the same time, spiral optimization is carried out for the short gliding attack in aquila optimization algorithm. The whale optimization algorithm is combined to improve local optimal stagnation and convergence speed. Simulations and experiments demonstrate that, in comparison to particle swarm optimization (PSO), whale optimization algorithm (WAO) and aquila optimization algorithm, the algorithm can search the global maximum power point with greater speed, accuracy and suppleness under both static and dynamic partial shading conditions.
To establish an accurate and effective dynamic model of cogeneration units, a modeling method based on digital twin technology is proposed using unit operation data. Firstly, the historical data stored in the unit data server is extracted, it is then clustered using the improved genetic simulated annealing fuzzy C-means method to establish a historical data clustering library. Then, during the operation of the unit, real-time operational data is collected and transmitted, and a multi-level similarity recognition strategy is used to retrieve the historical data closest to real-time operational data in the historical data clustering library. Then, based on the optimization, the extreme learning machine will use the searched historical data for unit modeling. Finally, a twin model of a cogeneration unit in Hangzhou is established and comparative experiments are conducted. The results show that, the built model meets the accuracy requirements and can track the real-time state response of the unit. The model accuracy can be further optimized by flexibly changing the parameter settings during the modeling process.
The CO2 capture process using ionic liquids (ILs) in the coal-fired power plant is simulated, in which the physical properties of ILs and ILs-CO2 phase equilibria are modelled based on experimental data. Analysis shows that the increase of packed height and absorption pressure is beneficial for CO2 absorption, while the inlet temperature has the dual effect as it influences both the ILs viscosity and CO2 solubility. The optimum condition is determined with 20 m packed height, 4 MPa absorption pressure and 50 ℃ inlet temperature. The regeneration process is more energy efficient with pressure swing method, in which the pressure of ILs-CO2 stream is reduced to 0.1 MPa with almost no ILs loss. Energy consumption and cost analysis shows that the multistage compressor is the most energy-intensive unit, and the absorption pressure has the largest effect on the system with 4 MPa the optimum parameter. With the optimum condition, the energy consumption of the process is 2.21 GJ/t, which is more energy-efficient than the conventional carbon capture system using monoethanolamine.
In order to explore the formation and evolution of soot during the combustion of coal, this paper uses Pingdingshan coal as combustion material, and uses the light scattering method coupled with the thermophoretic sampling article diagnostic method to measure the soot mass in flame. A light scattering measurement system capable of precise vertical movement is constructed to measure the light scattering intensity at different heights of the flame. The particle size distribution is obtained by the thermophoretic sampling particle diagnostic method, and the soot mass at different heights when the flame is calculated by Mie scattering theory. The results show that as the flame rises, the median mass diameter of soot firstly increases and then decreases. When the flame burns stably, a large amount of soot is formed at a height of H=10 mm. As the flame rises, the mass of soot decreases rapidly in the H=10~30 mm range. In the range of 10~20 mm, the soot mass of Pingdingshan coal decreases by 58.62%. When H>40 mm, the soot mass of Pingdingshan coal slowly decreases.
The typical faults of wind turbines are summarized. The fault data and non-fault data of converter system, generator system, variable propeller system and auxiliary power system with high fault frequency of wind turbines in a wind farm are selected for fault diagnosis research. The fault diagnosis model is established by ELM, SVM, KELM and WOA-KELM algorithms respectively. At the same time, Laplacian scores are used to sort and select the importance degree of model characteristic variables. WOA-KELM algorithm achieves better diagnostic effect by optimizing the regularization parameter C and kernel parameter γof KELM algorithm. The results show that, the diagnostic accuracy of the four algorithms for non-fault types is 100% under different sample numbers. The average diagnostic accuracy of WOA-KELM algorithm improves from 88.0% to 93.2% after feature screening by using Laplace scores. In the range of 250~500 samples, the diagnostic accuracy of WOA-KELM algorithm reaches the maximum of 96.0% after feature screening. It is proved that this model can effectively realize the fault diagnosis of wind turbine, and provide guidance and reference for field operation and maintenance personnel.
