Parametric Optimization for Automatic Control System of Power Units of 300 MW for the Mode of Variable Pressure of Turbine Inlet Steam

The article deals with the problem of parametric optimization of automatic control systems for power units of 300 MW of Lukoml’skaya GRES in the mode of variable pressure of turbine inlet superheated steam. The modernization of automatic power control systems of all power units of Lukoml’skaya GRES was carried out in the nineties of XX century for the last time. At the moment, these systems no longer meet all the requirements of the new standard, which regulates the participation rates of thermal power units in the normalized primary frequency control and in automatic secondary control of frequency and active power flows. According to this standard, the time to achieve the half value of the required power change should be 10 seconds within the normal and emergency reserves; the time to achieve the full value of the required power change should be 30 seconds within the normal reserve and 2 minutes within the emergency one. The construction of the Belarusian NPP is also being completed; its first unit will be put into operation in 2019, and the second one–in 2020. After the launch of the NPP, the Lukoml’skaya GRES power units will be necessitated to operate in a wide range of load changes. It is for these reasons that it is necessary to improve the efficiency of power units in particular and of the entire power plant in general. This can be achieved with the help of the outlined method of parametric optimization of a typical system of automatic control of power units, which allows improving the quality of control of turbine inlet steam power and pressure. The results of computer simulation of transient processes in the system illustrate the technique described in this article and confirm its correctness and undoubted advantages over other methods of optimization of typical systems of automatic control of power units.
