Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for controlling the rotational speed of a centrifugal pump operated in an open hydraulic circuit, wherein the controller of the pump controller determines a desired rotational speed of the pump drive taking into account a desired and actual delivery head and the actual rotational speed.
- controller parameters can not be set separately, but only under a holistic view of the system dynamics. In practice, the correct setting of these parameters is therefore an enormous challenge.
- the classic setting rules for PI or PID controller refer to linear systems, otherwise a linearization must be carried out in advance in one operating point. If the latter is the case, then the controller parameters found are usually optimally set only in the vicinity of the selected operating point. For the reasons mentioned above, the use of a PI controller for a variable-speed centrifugal pump is not the optimum solution. On the one hand, pumps show a strongly non-linear behavior, on the other hand pumps must be able to be operated stably in different operating ranges.
- the operating point during pump start-up may be different than during constant pump operation.
- the setting of the controller parameters of a PI or PID controller is therefore always based on a compromise between these different operating points of the pump.
- affinity regulators which operate on the basis of affinity laws.
- These controller types are considered to be robust, especially in different operating situations, and make obsolete the previously discussed elaborate setting of the controller parameters.
- a disadvantageous limitation of these types of regulators, however, is that they can only be used in closed hydraulic circuits. In the open circle, where a geodetic height may need to be overcome, the mathematical relationship between the sizes mentioned above changes and the regulation does not lead to a satisfactory result. It is therefore searched for a suitable controller modification to solve the above problem.
- a method for controlling the rotational speed of a centrifugal pump operated in an open hydraulic circuit is proposed.
- the basis of the method is a controller of the pump control, which calculates a target speed of the pump drive taking into account a desired and actual delivery and an actual speed.
- This controller is neither a PI nor a PID controller.
- the controller modification sees the Extension by at least one correction parameter for the consideration and compensation of a geodreliischen height to be handled by the pump. Using this correction parameter, the control approach can also be used for open hydraulic circuits.
- a displacement of the delivery height-speed curve is effected by means of the correction parameter. This makes it easy to compensate for the geodetic height.
- affinity controllers that make use of the affinity law for the setpoint or setpoint determination
- control approach is based on a quadratic relationship between speed and delivery height for the control value calculation.
- the result is a parabolic control curve, which is selectively shifted up or down by the correction parameter.
- the quadratic relationship between the setpoint speed and the setpoint conveying height is set in relation to the quadratic relationship between the actual speed and the actual delivery height. Based on this ratio, the target speed can be determined. By inverting the quadratic relationship, the non-linear behavior of the pump can be compensated at the same time. This allows the pump to stabilize like a linear system.
- the parabola of the control curve defined by the quadratic relationship between rotational speed and delivery height is displaced by the correction parameter into the coordinate origin, whereby a geodetic height can be compensated either on the pressure or suction side of the pump.
- the correction value depends on the conditions of the entire hydraulic system. Also, the geodetic height and thus the required value of the correction parameter in the current pump operation can change. For this reason, it is desirable that the value of the correction parameter is automatically determined by the pump controller in the current pump mode.
- One way to automatically determine the correction parameter is to first assign the correction parameter when commissioning the pump with a definable initial value.
- a suitable initial value is, for example, the value zero.
- the required value of the correction parameter for the compensation of the geodetic height can then be determined during operation from the resulting control error, because both the desired delivery height and the actual delivery amount are known to the pump controller. Subsequently, the value of the correction parameter can be adjusted until the desired delivery head is reached.
- the determination of the correction parameter k can be determined by means of the following equation describe.
- the term err characterizes here the error value, which is set between the nominal delivery head and the actual delivery head. By detecting the difference between the setpoint and the actual actual delivery head, the pump control is consequently aware of the current error value and the pump control can calculate the correction value k on the basis of the above equation.
- the present invention also relates to a centrifugal pump with a pump control for carrying out the method according to the invention. Accordingly, the same advantages and properties arise for the centrifugal pump as have already been discussed in detail above with reference to the method according to the invention. A repetitive description is omitted for this reason.
- FIG. 1 shows a speed-delivery height characteristic curve in the closed hydraulic
- FIG. 2 a speed-delivery height characteristic in the open hydraulic circuit
- FIG. 3 shows a time-delivery height diagram for clarifying the control quality of the regulation according to the invention in comparison with conventional control techniques.
- the core idea of the present invention is the use of a novel type of regulator for the speed control of a centrifugal pump. Unlike in the prior art proposed, is currently not resorted to a PI or PID controller, but instead a so-called affinity controller is used, which uses the affinity laws for the setpoint / setpoint determination and therefore of a quadratic relationship between speed and resulting delivery head of the centrifugal pump.
- affinity controller uses the affinity laws for the setpoint / setpoint determination and therefore of a quadratic relationship between speed and resulting delivery head of the centrifugal pump.
- the controller permanently sets the correct nominal delivery height.
- the controller By inverting the quadratic relationship between head and speed, the non-linear behavior of the pump is compensated and the pump can be stabilized like a linear system.
- the controller is robust in different operating situations and the complex setting of the controller parameters is eliminated.
- a limitation of the affinity controller is that it can be used in the previous embodiment only in closed hydraulic circuits.
- the H / n curve of Figure 1 shifts and the mathematical relationship changes.
- the idea of the present invention is to modify the affinity controller so that it also leads to passable results within an open hydraulic circuit. This is achieved according to the invention by the extensions of the affinity controller by a parameter for describing the geodesic height.
- the curve in FIG. 2 shows the relationship between delivery head and rotational speed on the assumption that a suction geodetic height prevails. Due to the geodesic height, the parabolic curve no longer runs through the origin of coordinates, but is shifted downwards by the value k.
- FIG. 3 shows a test result with three different controller types.
- the tested controlled system is a pump that has to overcome a geodetic head.
- a PI controller, a conventional affinity controller and an affinity controller with the extension according to the invention are tested for the correction parameter.
- the desired nominal head is 5 m for all tested controller types.
- FIG. 3 shows a time diagram of the actual delivery head set by the individual controller types.
- Curve 2 of the conventional affinity controller without correction of the geodetic height initially shows a very strong overshoot, but due to the iterative correction of the system deviation, the target delivery height is nevertheless achieved.
- the Pl controller with the curve 3 also reaches its setpoint, but this result requires a lot of effort in the correct setting of the controller parameters.
- the curve 1 of the affinity controller with consideration of the geodetic height shows the best result. There is no overshoot, no permanent control deviation and the target head is reached quickly. In addition, it is not necessary to set controller parameters. As a result, a high stability of the controller is ensured even with a changing performance.
