DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The system configuration for carrying out an extraction control method for a steam turbine generator according to the present invention as shown FIG. 1 includes: an extraction turbine type steam turbine 1 which converts a thermal energy of steam introduced from a superheated steam producing boiler (not shown) into a drive energy; a steam regulating valve 2 which adjusts a flow rate of steam to be introduced through a steam introducing port 2-1; an extraction regulating valve 3; an extraction pressure gauge 4; a speed indicator 5; a speed governor 6; a condenser 7; an extraction line 8; a steam flowmeter 9 installed at an extraction outlet of the steam turbine 1;
a calculation control device 10; and an automatically- ~ controlled relief valve (adjusting valve) 11. Also in the - system configuration according to the present invention, = the steam turbine 1 has a high pressure stage 1-1 and a eo low pressure stage 1-2. Steam which flows into the high = pressure stage 1-1 is extracted on the upstream side of the extraction regulating valve 3, a flow of steam into - the low pressure stage 1-2 is controlled by the extraction © regulating valve 3, and steam is then supplied to a factory - through the extraction line 8. In the system configuration example, the configurations of constitutional elements other than the steam flowmeter 9, the calculation control device 10, and the automatically-controlled relief valve 11 are substantially equal to the configurations of corresponding constitutional elements in the conventional art shown in FIG. 5. A distributed control system (DCS) or a programmable logic controller (PLC) is usually employed for the calculation control device 10. However, a general controller may also be used for the calculation control device 10. In the system configuration according to the present invention, a steam flowmeter and a relief valve which allows a sufficient amount of steam to flow therethrough are used for the steam flowmeter 9 and the relief valve 11. In measuring a flow rate of steam at the turbine extraction outlet, the difference between a flow rate of steam at the turbine inlet and a flow rate of water at an cutlet of the condenser 7 which is used for treating turbine exhaust may also be used.
In the extraction control method for a steam turbine w generator according to the present invention, when steam =” is extracted from an intermediate stage of the steam i. turbine 1 to supply the steam to a factory, a value = measured by the steam flowmeter 9 installed at the - extraction outlet of the steam turbine 1 is inputted into = the calculation control device 10 with respect to z fluctuation in a generator load or an amount of extraction - steam to be used in a factory. In response to such instruction from the steam flowmeter 9, a required flow rate is set by the calculation control device 10, and an opening of the relief valve 11 is automatically controlled corresponding to the set value.
To describe specifically, when extraction steam is supplied to a factory, a sum of an amount of extraction steam to be used in the factory and an amount of steam to be released into the atmosphere becomes an amount of extraction steam. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 4, when an amount of extraction steam to be used in the factory exceeds a required amount of extraction steam, an opening of the relief valve 11 is closed. On the other hand, when an amount of extraction steam to be used in the factory is lower than the required amount of extraction steam, the relief valve 11 is automatically controlled such that an opening of the relief valve 11 is opened so as to release surplus steam into the atmosphere thus maintaining the required amount of extraction steam. In this regard, a set value of an amount of extraction steam is obtained by - calculating an appropriate amount of extraction steam . which corresponds to a generator load by the calculation & control device 10, and the opening of the relief valve 11 ox is controlled according to the set value. For the = appropriate amount of extraction steam which corresponds i. to the generator load, an appropriate amount of extraction - steam which corresponds to a generator load can be set © based on characteristics of each turbine generator, that - is, the relation between an amount of inlet steam and an amount of extraction steam with respect to a generator output shown in FIG. 2. In an actual operation, it is desirable to use an actual value of an amount of actual extraction steam obtained from operation results of the turbine generator. FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 show setting examples of the amount of extraction steam.
Particularly, as shown in the setting example 1 (FIG. 2) and the setting example 2 (FIG. 3) of a required amount of extraction steam with respect to a generator load, the present invention sets the required amount of extraction steam in a state where three regions consisting of a region
A, a region B, and a region C are defined corresponding to respective generator loads. In this regard, the region A is a region where a factory is completely stopped so that heating, heat retention, or the like performed by steam is not necessary whereby extraction is unnecessary. The region B is a region where a required amount of extraction steam is set to 0 (T/Hr) so that existing extraction ~ pressure control is unstable. The region C is a region where an amount of extraction steam is made constant, and = an amount of extraction steam 1s required to increase o corresponding to a turbine output. In the present = invention, a set value is obtained by calculation such o that a required amount of extraction steam is proportional = to a generator load in these three regions. Strictly © speaking, for the region C, a required amount of extraction - steam is not proportional to a generator load and hence, a control may be performed in a state where the region C is subdivided.
As has been described above, the extraction control method for a steam turbine generator according to the present invention enables to reduce an excessively large amount of extraction steam to be released into the atmosphere and to maintain a stable generator output even when a generator load or an amount of extraction steam to be used in a factory unexpectedly and rapidly fluctuates, by automatically controlling the relief valve in an independent manner based on an appropriate amount of extraction steam which corresponds to a generator load.
Further, by employing the system where the steam flowmeter and the relief valve installed to the extraction line are controlled in an independent manner from a control device of an existing turbine generator, the present invention can be easily carried out without changing the control - device of the existing turbine generator. -

EXTRACTION CONTROL METHOD FOR STEAM TURBINE GENERATOR =
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION = Field of the Invention .
The present invention relates to an extraction control © method for a steam turbine generator which extracts steam - from an intermediate stage of a turbine and supplies the steam to a factory, and more specifically to an extraction control method which can appropriately «cope with fluctuation in generator load and in amount of extraction steam to be used in a factory.
Description of the Related Art
For steam turbine generators which extract steam from an intermediate stage of a turbine and supply the steam to a factory, an internal extraction pressure control type turbine generator is known where a pressure control valve is provided in the inside of a casing of the turbine, and a pressure control 1s performed on the upstream side of the pressure control valve so as to maintain a constant extraction pressure thereby allowing a stable pressure supply at every turbine load level from a low load to the rated load. The internal extraction pressure control type turbine generator is composed of: an extraction turbine type steam turbine 21 which converts a thermal energy of steam introduced from a boiler for producing superheated ~ steam (not shown in the drawing) into a drive energy; a - steam regulating valve 22 which adjusts a flow rate of =: pe steam to be introduced through a steam introducing port ne 22-1; an extraction regulating valve 23; an extraction = pressure gauge 24; a speed indicator 25; a speed governor 26; a condenser 27; and a relief valve 28, as this system - configuration example is shown in FIG. 5. The steam © turbine 21 has a high pressure stage 21-1 and a low = pressure stage 21-2. Steam which flows into the high pressure stage 21-1 of the steam turbine 21 is extracted on the upstream side of the extraction regulating valve 23, a flow of steam into the low pressure stage 21-2 is controlled by the extraction regulating valve 23, and the steam is then supplied to a factory through an extraction line 209.
In controlling the extraction turbine type steam turbine 21 in the internal extraction pressure control type turbine generator, a revolution speed measured by the speed indicator 25 and an extraction pressure measured by the extraction pressure gauge 24 are required. When a load on the steam turbine 21 or a required amount of extraction fluctuates, it is necessary to control the limit of the steam regulating valve 22 and the limit of the extraction regulating valve 23. For this reason, the internal extraction pressure control type turbine generator has a mechanism which automatically controls both valves of the steam regulating valve 22 and the ~ extraction regulating valve 23 to maintain a revolution speed of the steam turbine 21, a generator output and = extraction. Fe §
FIG. 6 is a graph illustrating the relation between a ; generator output, an amount of inlet steam, and an amount - of extraction steam in the above-mentioned internal © extraction pressure control type turbine generator. An = output (a) of the turbine generator indicates a turbine output when the amount of extraction steam is at maximum.
An output (b) of the turbine generator indicates a turbine output when the amount of extraction steam is 0 (T/Hr).
An output (c) of the turbine generator indicates a minimum capacity of the generator. That is, when the generator is operated in a state where a generator load exceeds a certain point, it is necessary to extract steam by a fixed amount or more so as to maintain a generator output.
Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5, the relief valve 28 is provided to the extraction line so as to release surplus steam into the atmosphere. When a generator load or an amount of extraction steam to be used in a factory fluctuates, the relief valve 28 is opened or closed to maintain a required amount of extraction steam.
A manual valve or an automatically-controlled adjusting valve is used for the relief valve 28. When the manual valve is used for the relief valve 28, the relief valve 28 is controlled to a valve opening with an allowance ~ in advance roughly corresponding to a generator load and - a flow rate of inlet steam. On the other hand, for a =z method where the automatically-controlled adjusting valve - 1s used, a method is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-
Open No. 07-166808 (Patent Literature 1) and Japanese
Patent TLaid-Open No. H11-343814 (Patent Literature 2) = where an adjusting valve for releasing steam into the > atmosphere is installed to an extraction line and, when an : extraction pressure becomes a set pressure or more, an opening of the adjusting valve is automatically controlled by the extraction pressure. The method disclosed in Patent
Literature 1 is a control method where, in a steam turbine control device formed of a speed control device or a load control device and an extraction pressure control device, when an extraction regulating valve becomes a fully opened state or a minimum opening, or when an adjusting valve becomes a fully opened state, a speed control or a load control is excluded from the control, and an extraction pressure control is performed in preference to other controls. Further, the method disclosed in Patent
Literature 2 is a method where, in a boiler turbine generator where an extraction steam passage includes: a turbine bypass pipe through which surplus steam is released to the condenser side; and a load control device which controls boiler steam to be introduced into a steam turbine corresponding to a generator load, the surplus steam is constantly released to the condenser from the extraction steam passage by the turbine bypass pipe through which the - surplus steam is released to the condenser side, an input hs signal of a bypass device which controls a bypass amount o of the bypass pipe is transmitted from the extraction steam i. passage, and a control of an amount of bypass steam which = corresponds to load fluctuation is performed in preference § to a load control device. =
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION ~
However, the above-mentioned conventional extraction control technique for the steam turbine generator has the following problems.
In the steam turbine generator which extracts steam from the intermediate stage of the turbine and supplies the steam to a factory, when a manual valve is used for the relief valve provided for coping with the fluctuation in generator load and amount of extraction steam to be used in a factory, the relief valve is adjusted to an opening with an allowance in advance roughly corresponding to a generator load and an amount of inlet steam and therefore an excessively large amount of steam is released into the atmosphere. In addition, the manual valve may not cope with an unexpected rapid fluctuate in generator load or amount of extraction steam to be used in a factory.
On the other hand, in the method where the relief valve 1s replaced with an automatically-controlled adjusting valve disclosed in Patent Literatures 1 and 2 so that the adjusting valve is controlled by an extraction ~ pressure, the extraction pressure fluctuates due to - opening and closing of the relief valve. Accordingly, the o control of a steam regulating valve, an extraction > regulating valve and the like, which are controlled by the = extraction pressure in the same manner, is affected and hence, there is a problem that a stable control of these - valves cannot be performed. o os
