Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of electrical energy generation. It relates to a method for starting up a shaft train according to the preamble of claim 1 and a device for carrying out the method according to the preamble of claim 10.
- Gas turbines are increasingly being used to generate electrical energy.
- the oil or gas burned in the gas turbine is converted into mechanical kinetic energy and then converted into electrical energy via a generator.
- the gas turbine and the generator are coupled to one another and form a shaft train.
- the gas turbine can only be ignited above a certain speed. Up to this speed, the shaft train must be accelerated by another component. This component then has to support the gas turbine over a wide speed range.
- the generator itself is used for this starting process.
- the generator does not work as a generator, but as a motor.
- a direct connection of the generator to the network is out of the question, however, because of the required high control quality of the start-up process and because of the network and generator load.
- a static frequency converter Static Frequency Converter SFC
- the torque required at medium to high speeds determines the size of the SFC.
- a second device is required to regulate the excitation of the generator.
- the excitation winding of the generator is fed either via slip rings or via a brushless exciter.
- a second device for frequency conversion may be necessary (see US-A-5,097,195 mentioned at the beginning).
- the gas turbine is started up by an independent drive engaging in the shaft.
- This can be implemented in different ways. For example, asynchronous motors with appropriate frequency converters are used.
- a disadvantage of the known solutions for the starting process is the comparatively high outlay.
- the frequency converter When starting up via the generator, the frequency converter must be adapted to the voltage level of the stator main circuit and switching means must be provided for disconnection in generator mode. With an independent drive, the mechanics of the shaft train become more complex.
- the excitation machine comprises an excitation rotor with a rotor winding and an excitation stator with a stator winding.
- the rotor winding When starting up, the rotor winding is supplied with an alternating current of variable frequency and the stator winding with an alternating current of constant frequency, in particular mains frequency.
- a frequency converter connected to the mains is used to feed the rotor winding of the excitation machine.
- the stator winding can also be fed with an alternating current of variable frequency and the rotor winding with an alternating current of constant frequency.
- the excitation winding of the generator is preferably supplied by the rotor winding of the excitation machine via electronic elements, in particular in the form of a rotating rectifier, the rotor winding of the excitation machine being permanently connected to the excitation winding of the generator via the electronic elements, and the electronic elements by The signal can be switched on or off depending on whether the shaft train is started up or whether the generator is excited.
- a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention is characterized in that the rotor winding of the excitation machine is connected to an excitation winding of the generator via controllable electronic elements, the controllable electronic elements can be switched on and off via a control signal line, and the electronic elements form a rotating rectifier.
- FIG. 1 shows a simplified circuit diagram of a first preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention, in which the rotor winding is fed with an alternating current of variable frequency and the stator winding with an alternating current of constant frequency when starting up;
- FIG. 2 shows a second preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention in a circuit diagram comparable to FIG. 1, in which the stator winding with an alternating current of variable frequency and the rotor winding with an alternating current are more constant during startup
- Fig. 3 shows the exemplary curves of the rotor voltage UR (curves A and
- FIG. 1 shows a preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention in the form of a simplified circuit diagram.
- a gas turbine 10, a generator 22, of which only the generator rotor 11 is shown, and an excitation machine 14 are connected by a common shaft 21 and form a shaft train.
- the excitation machine 14 has an excitation stator 16 with a stator winding 25 and an excitation rotor 15 with a rotor winding 23.
- the stator winding 25 can be connected to the network 24 or to the output of a frequency converter 20 connected to the network 24 via two switches S1 and S3.
- the rotor winding 23 is connected to an excitation winding 12 in the generator rotor 11 via electronic elements in the form of a rotating rectifier 13.
- the rotating rectifier 13 contains electronic elements (e.g.
- thyristors which can be switched on and off via a control signal line 18. If the electronic elements are switched on, the rotor winding 23 is connected to the excitation winding 12. However, if the electronic elements are switched off, this connection is interrupted. The rotor winding 23 is connected to the output of the frequency converter 20 via a further switch S2. A step transformer 19 can be inserted into the feed circuit.
- switches S2 and S3 are open, while switch S1 is closed.
- the stator winding 25 of the excitation machine 14 is fed by the frequency converter 20.
- the voltage induced in the rotor winding 23 is rectified in the rotating rectifier 13 and feeds the excitation winding 12 of the generator 22.
- the electrical power generated is available on the stator winding (not shown) of the generator 22.
- the frequency converter 20 can be used to regulate the excitation voltage.
- switches S2 and S3 are closed and switch S1 opened to start up the shaft train.
- the stator winding 25 of the excitation machine 14 is thus fed from the network 24, the rotor winding 23 via Slip rings 26 from the frequency converter 20.
- Corresponding control signals are taken off via current transformers 17 in the feed lines between the step transformer 19 and the rotor winding 23 and passed on to the rotating rectifier 13 via a control signal line 18, the electronic elements of which switch off and thus the connection between the rotor winding 23 and the excitation winding 12 interrupt.
- the excitation machine 14 thus works as a drive motor for the shaft train.
- the starting behavior can be controlled via the frequency converter 20. Once the speed required for the operation of the gas turbine 10 has been reached, it is possible to switch over to the continuous operation described above.
- the step transformer 19 can be switched on for the gentle loading of the frequency converter, the step switching preferably being carried out electronically.
- the stator winding 25 of the excitation machine 14 is initially supplied with an alternating current of variable frequency, in particular from the frequency converter 20 connected to the network 24, at low speeds, and if the stator winding 25 is supplied with this power Excitation machine 14 with an alternating current of variable frequency the excitation resistance is used as a load.
- FIG. 2 The feed reversed from FIG. 1 is shown in FIG. 2.
- the rotor winding 23 is connected to the network via the slip rings 26, the switch S2 and possibly the step transformer 19 and is fed with an alternating current of constant frequency, in particular network frequency.
- the stator winding 25 is fed from the frequency converter 20 with an alternating current of variable frequency.
- the exciter can be used as a starting device.
- the usual SFC system, which feeds the generator directly, is no longer required.
- Such a high-rise exciter enables the start-up of generator turbines in which the generator has a high-voltage winding (for example in the case of the so-called "powerformer”; see in this regard M. Leijon - Powerformer - a radically new rotating machine, ABB Review 2 (1998) pp. 21 -26), without the variable-frequency feed being stepped up to the voltage level of the generator via an intermediate transformer and without the need for a complex additional winding.
- variable-speed generator is supported by a start-up exciter, since this means that the generator and the converter must be designed solely for generator operation, but not for engine operation.
- stator winding of the generator is no longer exposed to the high-frequency voltage peaks of the starting device during startup. This reduces the risk of damage to the generator insulation.
- Wave voltages due to the voltage peaks are also reduced.
- the solution is also suitable for braking the shaft train.
- the brushes are suitable for an excitation boost, i.e. the short-term excess of the excitation current, during operation.
- the brushes can be lifted off during operation.
