TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a fuel switching control mechanism for a dual fuel gas turbine plant that can be operated using gaseous fuel and liquid fuel , a gas turbine plant, and a fuel switching control method for a dual fuel gas turbine plant , and in particular, gaseous fuel and liquid fuel. The present invention relates to a control mechanism and a control method when switching from one to the other.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are dual fuel gas turbine plants that can be operated with a liquid fuel such as petroleum in addition to a gas fuel such as natural gas that is normally used. Such a dual fuel gas turbine plant does not always combust gas fuel and liquid fuel at the same time. For example, when gas fuel is selected and burned, the supply of liquid fuel is stopped. The fuel supply system is selectively switched and burned.
Thus, the dual fuel supply system of the dual fuel gas turbine plant provided with two types of fuel supply systems consisting of gaseous fuel and liquid fuel is configured as shown in FIG. 10, for example.

In the dual fuel supply system of FIG. 10, one gaseous fuel is injected from the dual fuel nozzle 4 of each combustor through a gas flow meter 1, a pressure control valve 2, and a flow control valve (control and shut-off valve) 3. . Reference numeral 5 in the figure denotes an atmospheric release valve that releases gaseous fuel remaining in the fuel supply system to the atmosphere when stopped.
The other liquid fuel is injected from the dual fuel nozzle 4 through a strainer 6, a flow meter 7, a fuel pump 8, a strainer 9, a flow rate adjusting valve (control / shutoff valve) 10 and a manifold (flow divider) 11. The injection pressure is adjusted by bypass control of the pressure control valve 12, and the manifold 11 has a function of making the injection amount of each fuel nozzle uniform. Reference numeral 13 in the figure is a manifold drain valve for discharging and collecting liquid fuel remaining in the fuel supply system at the time of stop, and 14 is a check valve.

In the dual fuel supply system described above, when the fuel to be supplied is switched, as shown in FIG. 11, for example, as shown in FIG. ) To change the opening degree by giving a control signal for opening / closing control at a rate.
The illustrated control signal is for switching the gas fuel flow control valve 3 from fully open to fully closed to stop the gas fuel, and the liquid fuel flow control valve 10 from fully closed to fully open to switch to liquid fuel.

  Patent Document 1 below also controls the speed of transition between operation using a gas fuel type and operation using a liquid fuel type so as to prevent excessive wear and damage to the gas turbine combustion hardware. A method is disclosed.

JP 2008-163939 A

In the conventional fuel switching control described above, at the initial stage of fuel switching, for example, when switching from a gas fuel use mode in which a gas fuel is operated as a fuel to a liquid fuel operation mode in which a liquid fuel is operated as a fuel, the fuel is switched. The liquid fuel begins to flow by opening the flow rate adjusting valve 10 installed in the fuel supply system of the liquid fuel. However, since it takes time to fill the manifold 11 with liquid fuel at the beginning of switching, there is a time lag before the liquid fuel flows out from the dual fuel nozzle 4.
On the other hand, the time delay until the liquid fuel flows out from the dual fuel nozzle 4 is temporarily limited by the shortage of fuel because the flow rate adjusting valve 3 installed in the fuel supply system on the other gas fuel side is throttled during this time. This causes a decrease in the output (gas turbine output) of the gas turbine plant.

  That is, when shifting from the gas fuel use mode to the liquid fuel operation mode, as shown in FIG. 11, generally, the liquid fuel is increased at the ramp rate, and the gas fuel is increased at the ramp rate in accordance with this increase. Therefore, in such a transition period, a fuel shortage state in which a low flow gas fuel is supplied to the gas turbine plant continues. Continuation of the low flow rate state during the transition period causes the control performance of the flow rate adjusting valves 3 and 10 to deteriorate, and the fluctuation range of the gas turbine output becomes large and becomes unstable.

For example, during the transition from liquid fuel to gaseous fuel, a low flow gas fuel is supplied to the combustor of the gas turbine plant. For this reason, the gas turbine output during the transition period decreases, and the gas fuel flow control valve 3 may operate incorrectly due to being out of the predetermined control range. Become stable.
Moreover, in the transition period mentioned above, there exists a problem that the gas which adversely affects environment, such as NOx, generate | occur | produces with the fall of combustion efficiency.
Similar problems occur when shifting from the liquid fuel use mode to the gas fuel operation mode.

As described above, in the control method of switching the control signal of the gas fuel and the control signal of the liquid fuel at a constant rate, the gas turbine output is reduced and destabilized due to the fuel shortage occurring during the transition period of the fuel switch. It was difficult to stop.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a fuel switching control mechanism of a dual fuel gas turbine plant according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a dual fuel gas turbine plant (hereinafter referred to as “gas turbine plant”) GT that can use a plurality of fuels, and selects either gaseous fuel or liquid fuel. The combustor F that combusts, the turbine T that expands and rotates the combustion gas supplied from the combustor F, and the compressor C that compresses air are included as main components, and the controller 20 performs various operations. Control is taking place.

Further, in the combustor F, a pilot nozzle (not shown) and a plurality of main nozzles (not shown) arranged at intervals on the outer periphery of the pilot nozzle are provided.
In this case, the pilot nozzle and the main nozzle are dual fuel nozzles (hereinafter referred to as “nozzles”) for selectively switching between one of the gaseous fuel and the liquid fuel, and the pressure regulating valve 2 and the flow regulating valve 3. And a liquid fuel supply system FL including a pressure control valve 12 and a flow rate control valve 10.

The control unit 20 of the gas turbine plant GT has a function of controlling the opening degree of the gas fuel flow rate control valve 3 and the liquid fuel flow rate control valve 10 described above. By controlling the opening, the fuel to be used is selectively switched. That is, the flow control valve of the unused fuel system is closed, and the fuel supply amount is adjusted by controlling the opening of the fuel control valve of the used fuel system.
Below, fuel switching control of the control part 20 which selectively switches from either one of gaseous fuel or liquid fuel to the other, especially the fuel switching control in the transition period at the time of fuel switching is demonstrated.

The control block diagram shown in FIG. 1 shows an example of a fuel switching control mechanism that is implemented by the control unit 20 during the transition period during fuel switching.
In the illustrated fuel switching control mechanism , when switching from one fuel to the other fuel, the control unit 20 slows the switching rate when the flow rate fluctuation of the fuel to be switched is larger than a predetermined value. On the contrary, when the flow rate fluctuation becomes small, the switching rate is increased.

That is, the control unit 20 includes a gaseous fuel control unit 30 that outputs the acquired gaseous fuel flow ratio command value MFR, and a liquid fuel control unit 40 that outputs the acquired liquid fuel flow ratio command value SFR. The gas fuel control unit 30 and the liquid fuel control unit 40 are respectively provided with correction signal generation units 50M and 50S in order to correct the switching rate during the transition period at the time of fuel switching.
One correction signal generation unit 50M calculates a gas fuel flow ratio correction amount that corrects the switching rate of the gaseous fuel, and the other correction signal generation unit 50S corrects the liquid fuel flow rate correction amount that corrects the switching rate of the liquid fuel. Is calculated. That is, one correction signal generation unit 50M is used in the transition period during which the liquid fuel is switched to the gas fuel, and calculates the gas fuel flow ratio correction amount, and the other correction signal generation unit 50S switches from the gas fuel to the liquid fuel. A liquid fuel flow ratio correction amount is calculated for use during the transition period.

The gaseous fuel control unit 30 includes a gaseous fuel control unit 31 that sets a gaseous fuel flow ratio command value MFR that is a fuel command for gaseous fuel, and the liquid fuel control unit 40 is a liquid fuel flow rate command that is a fuel command for liquid fuel. A liquid fuel control unit 41 for setting the value SFR is provided.
Both the gaseous fuel flow rate command value MFR set by the gaseous fuel control unit 30 and the liquid fuel flow rate command value SFR set by the liquid fuel control unit 40 are also used as switching command values for fuel switching.

  In the transition period for switching from liquid fuel to gas fuel, the gas fuel flow ratio correction amount calculated by the correction signal generator 50M is added to the gas fuel flow ratio command value MFR set by the gas fuel controller 31 in the adder 32. Then, the gas fuel flow ratio (correction value) MFR ′ is set. This gaseous fuel flow ratio MFR ′ is output to the flow rate adjusting valve 3 as a final gaseous fuel flow rate command signal MFR ″ via the conversion rate limiter 33 and the time delay 34. Similarly, from the gaseous fuel. In the transition period for switching to liquid fuel, the liquid fuel flow ratio correction amount calculated by the correction signal generator 50S is added to the liquid fuel flow ratio command value SFR by the adder 32, and the liquid fuel flow ratio (correction value) SFR is added. The liquid fuel flow rate ratio SFR ′ is output to the flow rate adjusting valve 10 as a final liquid fuel flow rate command signal SFR ″ via the conversion rate limiter 43 and the time delay 44.

Here, the gas fuel flow ratio command value MFR and the liquid fuel flow ratio command value SFR described above will be described.
The control block diagram shown in FIG. 1 shows the fuel switching control in the transition period when switching from liquid fuel to gaseous fuel as an example, but also reverse fuel switching (switching from gaseous fuel to liquid fuel). The same applies.

That is, when the fuel is switched from the liquid fuel to the gaseous fuel, the gaseous fuel flow ratio command value MFR set by the gaseous fuel control unit 31 rises (increases) with time and increases linearly, and the liquid fuel control unit 41 sets it. The liquid fuel flow ratio command value SFR to be reduced decreases (decreases) with time and decreases linearly. In this case, the share ratio in the transition period between the liquid fuel and the gaseous fuel is set so that, for example, the liquid fuel decreases at a constant rate from 100% to 0%, and the gaseous fuel is constant from 0% to 100%. It is set to increase at a rate of.
When the fuel is switched from gas fuel to liquid fuel, the liquid fuel flow ratio command value SFR set by the liquid fuel control unit 41 increases (increases) with time and increases linearly, and the gas fuel control unit 31 sets The gaseous fuel flow ratio command value MFR to be reduced decreases (decreases) with time and decreases linearly.

  The correction signal generation unit 50M uses the incomplete differentiation unit 51 for obtaining a deviation between the gaseous fuel flow rate command value MFR or the liquid fuel flow rate command value SFR and its first order lag, and the output S1 from the incomplete differentiation unit 51 as a function FX2. A second function unit 52 for processing based on the function, a third function unit 53 for processing the gas fuel flow rate ratio command value MFR or the liquid fuel flow rate ratio command value SFR based on the function FX3, and the outputs and third functions of the second function unit 52 In addition to a first multiplier 54 that multiplies the output of the unit 53 and a parameter (gas turbine output demand signal) relating to operation control of the gas turbine plant GT based on the function FX1, a first function A second multiplier 56 is provided that multiplies the output of the multiplier 55 and the output S3 of the first multiplier 54 to generate and output a gaseous fuel correction amount.

  Similarly, the correction signal generation unit 50S obtains the output S1 from the incomplete differentiation unit 51 and the incomplete differentiation unit 51 for obtaining a deviation between the gas fuel flow ratio command value MFR or the liquid fuel flow ratio command value SFR and its first order lag. A second function unit 52 for processing based on the function FX2, a third function unit 53 for processing the gas fuel flow ratio command value MFR or the liquid fuel flow ratio command value SFR based on the function FX3, and the outputs of the second function unit 52; In addition to the first multiplier 54 that multiplies the output of the third function unit 53 and the parameter (gas turbine output demand signal) related to the operation control of the gas turbine plant GT based on the function FX1, A second multiplier 56 that generates and outputs a liquid fuel correction amount by multiplying the output of the first function unit 55 and the output S3 of the first multiplier 54 is provided.

In the correction signal generation units 50M and 50S described above, the function FX2 included in the second function unit 52 and the function FX3 included in the third function unit 53 perform fine adjustment of the correction amount that cannot be formed by the incomplete differentiation unit 51. It is.
Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the function FX1 included in the first function unit 55 sets a high adjustment amount when the output of the gas turbine plant GT is low, and when the output of the gas turbine is high. Set a low adjustment amount and output. That is, it is set so that a larger adjustment amount is output as the output of the gas turbine plant GT is lower.
FIG. 3B illustrates an example of the output S1 of the incomplete differentiation unit 51, the output S2 of the first multiplier 54, and the output S3 of the second multiplier 56 described above.

As described above, either one of the correction amounts obtained by the correction signal generation units 50M and 50S is calculated according to the type of fuel to be newly switched, and the adder 32 or the liquid fuel control of the gaseous fuel control unit 30 is used. It is output to the adder 42 of the unit 40.
As a result, the adders 32 and 42 add the respective correction amounts to the gas fuel flow ratio command value MFR and the liquid fuel flow ratio command value SFR, thereby increasing the gas fuel flow ratio (correction value) MFR before the correction. 'And the liquid fuel flow ratio (correction value) SFR' are set. Thereafter, the set gaseous fuel flow rate ratio (correction value) MFR ′ and liquid fuel flow rate ratio (correction value) SFR ′ are finalized through the conversion rate limiters 33 and 43 and the time delays 34 and 44, respectively. A gaseous fuel flow rate command signal MFR ″ and a liquid fuel flow rate command signal SFR ″ are generated and output to the flow rate adjusting valves 3 and 10, and the opening degree control based on these command signals is performed.

  Therefore, in the transition period when switching from liquid fuel to gaseous fuel, as shown in FIG. 2, for example, the transitional value of the gaseous fuel flow ratio command value MFR or the liquid fuel flow ratio command value SFR, which is the switching command value for fuel switching, Adjustment is made to a non-linear large gaseous fuel flow ratio MFR ′ to which the correction amount calculated in accordance with the change amount is added. For this reason, the opening degree of the flow control valve 3 becomes larger than that based on the gas fuel flow ratio MFR without correction, and the amount of the gaseous fuel supplied to the nozzle 4 through the flow control valve 3 increases. That is, the opening degree of the flow rate control valve 3 controlled based on the gas fuel flow rate ratio MFR ′ corrected by adding the gas flow rate correction amount output from the correction signal generation unit 50M is simply based on the gas fuel flow rate ratio MFR. Therefore, the amount of gaseous fuel supplied to the nozzle 4 of the combustor F increases due to the correction, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in combustion efficiency in the combustor F. It becomes.

As described above, according to the fuel switching control mechanism of the dual fuel gas turbine plant GT described above, when switching from one fuel (for example, liquid fuel) to the other fuel (for example, gaseous fuel), the fuel on the switching side is used. The fuel flow ratio command value, which is a fuel switching command value, is set so that the switching rate is slowed when the flow rate fluctuation (for example, gaseous fuel) becomes larger than a predetermined value and the switching rate is fast when the flow rate fluctuation becomes small. Thus, the reduction or instability of the gas turbine output during the transition period in which the fuel is switched is prevented or suppressed.
For this reason, the ramp speed set at the time of fuel switching is increased, that is, the gradients of the gas fuel flow ratio command value MFR and the liquid fuel flow rate command value SFR set by the gas fuel control unit 31 and the liquid fuel control unit 41 are increased with time. It is also possible to shorten the time required for fuel switching by setting the angle of the change that increases (increases) from 100% to 100% and the angle of change that decreases (decreases) from 100% to 0%.

  In the above-described embodiment, for new fuel to be used for switching, the occurrence of flow rate fluctuation or the amount of flow rate fluctuation is the gas fuel flow rate ratio command value MFR or the liquid fuel flow rate ratio command value SFR, which is the switching command value for fuel switching. It is calculated according to the transient change amount of. That is, in the correction signal generation units 50M and 50S, the incomplete differentiation unit 51 for obtaining a deviation between the gas fuel flow ratio command value MFR or the liquid fuel flow ratio command value SFR and its first order lag is used to calculate the flow rate fluctuation and the correction amount from the deviation. When the occurrence is detected, the incomplete differentiation unit 51 creates a correction amount, and the first function unit 55 adjusts the effect of the correction amount according to the amount of gas turbine output drop, etc. (the gain increases as it falls). For example, the gas fuel flow ratio correction amount is calculated.

Further, the control unit 20 described above makes the corrected gaseous fuel flow rate ratio MFR ′ and liquid fuel flow rate ratio SFR ′ the final gaseous fuel flow rate command signal via the conversion rate limiters 33 and 43 and the time delays 34 and 44. Since the MFR ″ and the liquid fuel flow command signal SFR ″ are obtained, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the fuel supply reduction start timing of the liquid fuel is delayed from the fuel supply start timing of the gaseous fuel (the side used after being switched). Can do.
In other words, the timing for starting the fuel supply of the gaseous fuel (the timing for starting to open the flow control valve 3) is the timing for starting the reduction of the fuel supply amount on the liquid fuel side that has been used (the throttle control for the flow control valve 10 is started). By delaying the time), the correction by the correction signal generators 50M and 50S can be performed more effectively, and the reduction and instability of the gas turbine output can be more reliably prevented or suppressed.

By the way, the correction signal generation units 50M and 50S of the control unit 20 described above are described below in place of addition of correction amounts calculated according to the transient change amounts of the fuel flow ratio command values MFR and SFR. You may make it add the corrected amount computed by a modification. In this case, the case of changing from gaseous fuel to liquid fuel will be described, but it goes without saying that it can also be applied to the case of changing in reverse.
In addition, although the modification demonstrated below is correction | amendment which calculates and adds the correction amount by the side of liquid fuel flow ratio command value SFR, if the liquid is read as gas, correction by the side of gas fuel flow rate command value MFR will be carried out as it is. It becomes.

The correction of the first modification shown in FIG. 5 is made by adding a correction amount calculated according to the combustion efficiency of the measured value obtained from the exhaust gas of the gas turbine plant GT.
That is, the correction signal generation unit 50Sa provided in the liquid fuel control unit 40 performs processing based on the function FX4 that sets a high correction amount when the combustion efficiency is low and sets the correction amount low when the combustion efficiency is high. The fourth function unit 57 is provided. The fourth function unit 57 receives a measured value of the combustion efficiency obtained from the exhaust gas representing the combustion state.

According to such control, the fourth function unit 57 sets the liquid fuel flow ratio correction amount that compensates for the deterioration of the combustion efficiency based on the input combustion efficiency, and inputs it to the adder 42. The liquid fuel flow ratio correction amount input to the adder 42 is added to the liquid fuel flow ratio command value SFR input from the liquid fuel control unit 41, and the liquid fuel flow ratio SFR ′ corrected based on the combustion efficiency is obtained. The data is output to the conversion rate limiter 43.
This liquid fuel flow ratio SFR ′ becomes the final liquid fuel flow ratio command signal SFR ″ after time delay 44, and is used for opening control of the flow control valve 10. Therefore, as the combustion efficiency decreases, the gas turbine It is possible to prevent the output from decreasing.

Further, the correction of the second modification shown in FIG. 6 is performed by adding a correction amount calculated in accordance with the combustion efficiency obtained from the command signal.
That is, the correction signal generation unit 50Sb provided in the liquid fuel control unit 40 uses the fuel / air ratio calculated from the fuel flow rate command signal and the air flow rate command signal as the command signal. The fuel / air ratio as the command signal is calculated by inputting the liquid fuel flow rate command value and the air flow rate command signal to the divider 58. The fuel-air ratio in this case is expressed as the reciprocal of the air-fuel ratio, and is obtained, for example, by dividing the fuel flow rate by the air flow rate as shown below.
Fuel-air ratio = fuel flow rate / air flow rate As a specific example of the above-described air flow rate command signal, there is an inlet guide vane (IGV) opening degree of the compressor C and the like.

The fuel / air ratio of the command signal is input to the fifth function unit 59, and the combustion efficiency corresponding to the fuel / air ratio is calculated. That is, the fifth function unit 59 includes a map function FX5 that defines the relationship between the fuel-air ratio and the combustion efficiency.
The combustion efficiency calculated by the fifth function unit 59 is input to the sixth function unit 60. The sixth function unit 60 is a liquid that sets a high correction amount when the combustion efficiency is low and performs processing based on a function FX6 that sets the correction amount low when the combustion efficiency is high, and compensates for the deterioration of the combustion efficiency. Create fuel flow ratio correction amount.

According to such control, the sixth function unit 60 sets the liquid fuel flow ratio correction amount that compensates for the deterioration of the combustion efficiency based on the combustion efficiency calculated from the fuel-air ratio, and inputs it to the adder 42. The liquid fuel flow ratio correction amount input to the adder 42 is added to the liquid fuel flow ratio command value SFR input from the liquid fuel control unit 41, and based on the combustion efficiency as in the first modification described above. The corrected liquid fuel flow ratio SFR ′ is output to the conversion rate limiter 43.
Therefore, the correction control of the second modification can obtain the same effects as those of the first modification described above. Moreover, since the combustion efficiency calculated from the fuel-air ratio is used in the second modification, the time required for correction is shortened compared to the case where the measured value obtained from the exhaust gas is used, and instantaneous correction is performed according to the actual situation. It can be performed.

Next, the correction of the third modification shown in FIG. 7 is performed by adding a correction amount calculated according to the deviation between the feedback signal of the gas turbine output and the gas turbine output setting.
That is, the correction signal generation unit 50Sc provided in the liquid fuel control unit 40 includes a subtractor 61 that calculates a deviation between the actual gas turbine output and the gas turbine output setting, and a correction amount according to the deviation calculated by the subtractor 61. And a seventh function unit 61 provided with a function FX7 for setting.

  The function FX7 of the seventh function unit 61 sets the correction amount to be larger as the deviation of the gas turbine output becomes larger. Therefore, the liquid fuel flow rate ratio SFR ′ is corrected by the amount that the actual gas turbine output is lower than the set value. As a result, the amount of liquid fuel supplied can be increased, and a decrease in gas turbine output can be prevented.

Next, the correction in the fourth modification shown in FIG. 8 is performed by adding a correction amount calculated in accordance with the deviation between the feedback signal of the gas turbine output and the gas turbine output setting, as in the third modification. The
That is, the correction signal generation unit 50Sd provided in the liquid fuel control unit 40 includes a subtractor 61 that calculates a deviation between the actual gas turbine output and the gas turbine output setting, and a PID controller that performs PID control on the output of the subtractor 61. 62 is adopted. In other words, in the case of the fourth modification, a PID controller 62 is employed instead of the seventh function unit 61 of the third modification.

  Since the PID controller 62 performs PID control (proportional + integral + differential operation) in which the correction amount is set to be larger as the deviation of the gas turbine output increases, the controllability regarding the gas turbine output can be improved. In other words, because the feedback signal of the gas turbine output is used, controllability is improved, and it is robust against combustion efficiency, individual plant differences and other variations, and at different load change rates and switching load bands. Is also available.

Next, the correction of the fifth modification shown in FIG. 9 depends on the transient change amount of the fuel flow ratio command value, which is the fuel switching command value, and the deviation between the feedback signal of the gas turbine output and the gas turbine output. This is done by adding the correction amount calculated in the above.
That is, the correction signal generation unit 50Se provided in the liquid fuel control unit 40 adds the above-described fourth modification to the embodiment of FIG. 1 and performs the second multiplication on the liquid fuel flow ratio correction amount calculated by the PID controller 62. The output of the first multiplier 54 is multiplied with the output of the first multiplier 54 and the final liquid fuel flow ratio correction amount is output to the adder 42.

  In this way, in addition to the operational effects of the above-described embodiment and the fifth modification, parameter adjustment is facilitated when performing parameter control. Further, since the transitional change amount of the flow ratio command value, which is the switching command value, is used, interference with the upper gas turbine output control system can be prevented, and more reliable correction control can be performed.

As described above, according to the present embodiment and the modification described above, in the dual fuel gas turbine plant GT that can use gaseous fuel and liquid fuel, a temporary fuel shortage that occurs when the fuel to be used is switched from one to the other. As a result, it is possible to prevent or suppress output fluctuations in which the gas turbine output is reduced or unstable, thereby enabling smooth fuel switching. In addition, since the time required for fuel switching can be shortened, it is possible to reduce the amount of harmful gas generation such as NOx accompanying combustion.
In addition, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, In the range which does not deviate from the summary, it can change suitably.
