Description

Boiler seismic monitoring system and boiler seismic monitoring device

The present invention relates to an earthquake monitoring system and device for a boiler, and more particularly to a technique for monitoring the effect of a boiler having a cage portion at the rear of the furnace and the furnace due to the shaking of an earthquake.

Non-Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for mounting a smart technology including a sensor in an industrial plant as a technique for monitoring the influence on an industrial plant when an earthquake occurs.

Further, Patent Document 1 discloses a vibration monitoring system in which a structure is provided with a 3-axis acceleration sensor, and the measured values of the 3-axis acceleration sensor are collected via a wireless communication network to monitor the vibration of the structure. ..

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2019-100914

The fuel-fired boiler used in the power plant is equipped with a furnace and a cage, which are suspended and supported by a steel beam via a suspension rod. Then, in order to prevent the furnace and the cage from swinging when an earthquake occurs, the steel column and the furnace and the steel column and the cage are connected via a cysmic tie.

The furnace is a hollow box-shaped structure surrounded by a water wall formed by connecting heat transfer tubes through which boiler water flows inside with a membrane bar, whereas the cage portion is the box-shaped structure. A group of heat transfer tubes for convection heat transfer is installed inside. Therefore, there is a large difference between the mass per unit volume of the furnace (mass density) and the mass density of the cage portion. Specifically, the mass density of the furnace is very small compared to the mass density of the cage portion.

Therefore, when an earthquake occurs, the furnace and the cage tend to vibrate in a unique cycle according to their respective rigidity and mass. Therefore, for example, in the auxiliary side wall or nose provided between the furnace and the cage. Local stress is applied and there is a risk of damage. Especially in the direction of the flow path of the combustion gas from the furnace, the part where the flow path direction of the smoke exhaust changes from the vertically upward direction to the horizontal direction on the upstream end side of the sub-side wall, and the horizontal on the downstream end side of the sub-side wall. Stress concentration occurs at the part that changes vertically downward from the direction (the part where the flow path direction changes), causing "boiler-specific damage" such as the furnace being torn from the secondary side wall and the cage being torn from the secondary side wall. There is a risk that a so-called "split" phenomenon will occur.

If the boiler is damaged, it will lead to the operation of the power plant and eventually the power transmission to the power system will be stopped. Therefore, avoid the power plant operation from being stopped at an unexpected timing, and if the operation is stopped, restore it as soon as possible. Therefore, there is a desire to predict the occurrence of "again tears", which is a damage peculiar to boilers. In order to predict this occurrence, it is necessary to monitor the earthquake after considering the structure peculiar to the boiler.

However, Non-Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 1 merely disclose a general technique for monitoring vibration of an industrial plant and a power plant. Therefore, even if the techniques of Non-Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 1 are applied to the boiler, it is insufficient to predict the occurrence of "also tearing" due to the unique structure of having a furnace and a cage portion. There is.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is a technique for detecting the behavior of a boiler having a furnace and a cage portion at the time of an earthquake with higher accuracy and leading to prediction of the occurrence of "again tears". Is to provide.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the configuration described in the claims. To give an example thereof, the present invention is an earthquake monitoring system for a boiler having a cage portion at the rear of the furnace and the furnace, and the rear wall of the furnace facing the cage portion in the furnace and the cage portion. Based on the vibration detection sensor that outputs sensor data to evaluate the relative displacement of the cage front wall facing the furnace rear wall and the sensor data, the relative displacement of the furnace and the cage portion in the three-dimensional direction is analyzed. The vibration detection sensor is provided on at least one of the rear wall of the boiler and the front wall of the cage. To do.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a technique for detecting the behavior of a boiler having a furnace and a cage portion at the time of an earthquake with higher accuracy and connecting it to the prediction of the occurrence of "also tearing". Issues, configurations, and effects other than those described above will be clarified by the following description of the embodiments.

Hereinafter, the boiler earthquake monitoring system and device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The same components are designated by the same reference numerals throughout the drawings, and duplicate description is omitted.

<First Embodiment>

It includes a data collecting device 102 that collects the sensor data, and a first communication device 106 that transmits the sensor data to the center 110 via the network 105. The SHM sensor observes a physical quantity indicating motion such as vibration of the structure in which the sensor is installed, and outputs sensor data including vibration data indicating the observation result. As a specific example of the SHM sensor, for example, a 3-axis acceleration sensor, a gauge sensor, or a distortion sensor can be used.

The center 110 outputs the analysis results of the second communication device 107 that receives the sensor data via the network 105, the earthquake monitoring device 103 that monitors the behavior of the boiler 1 based on the sensor data, and the earthquake monitoring device 103.

The earthquake monitoring device 103 includes, for example, a processor using a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, an HDD, and an earthquake monitoring program stored in the ROM or the HDD. The CPU reads the earthquake monitoring program, loads it into the RAM, and executes the earthquake monitoring program to realize the function of the earthquake monitoring program. ROM and HDD are examples of storage, and the type of storage such as EPROM does not matter.

<Overall configuration of boiler 1>
The overall configuration of the boiler 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2, 3, and 4. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the boiler 1. FIG. 3 is a side view showing an example of the configuration of the boiler 1. FIG. 4 is a plan view showing an example of the configuration of the boiler 1.

The boiler 1 includes a furnace 2 in which a combustion space is formed, a sub-side wall portion 3 that forms a flow path for combustion gas generated in the furnace 2, and heat exchangers such as a superheater, a reheater, and an economizer. The cage portion 4 mounted inside is mainly divided into three spaces. These three spaces are arranged side by side in the order of the furnace 2, the sub-side wall portion 3, and the cage portion 4 from the upstream side to the downstream side in the flow direction of the combustion gas.

In the following description, the arrangement direction of the furnace 2, the sub-side wall portion 3, and the cage portion 4 is defined as the "depth direction" (or the front-rear direction), and the furnace 2 side in the depth direction is referred to as "front side" or "upstream side". The cage portion 4 side, which is the opposite side, is referred to as the "rear side" or the "downstream side". Further, the direction orthogonal to the floor surface on which the boiler 1 is installed is defined as the "vertical direction". Further, the direction orthogonal to the depth direction and the vertical direction is referred to as a "left-right direction".

The furnace 2 includes a furnace front wall 21 arranged on the front side and serving as a front surface of the furnace 2, a furnace rear wall 22 arranged facing the furnace front wall 21 and serving as a rear surface of the furnace 2, a furnace front wall 21 and a furnace. It includes a pair of furnace side walls 23 arranged between the rear wall 22 and serving as side surfaces of the furnace 2, and a furnace ceiling wall 24 arranged above the pair of furnace side walls 23 and serving as a ceiling of the furnace 2.

A plurality of burners 20 for supplying fuel pulverized coal and air into the furnace 2 are installed at the lower portions of the furnace front wall 21 and the furnace rear wall 22, respectively. In the present embodiment, eight burners 20 are arranged in two stages in the vertical direction, four on each of the front wall 21 of the furnace and the rear wall 22 of the furnace.

The pulverized coal supplied from each burner 20 is burned in the combustion space in the furnace 2, which generates combustion gas. The generated combustion gas flows in an ascending direction from the lower side to the upper side of the furnace 2, and then flows down to the cage portion 4 through the sub-side wall portion 3.

The sub-side wall portion 3 is a flow path that connects the furnace 2 and the cage portion 4 in the depth direction at the upper part. The sub-side wall 3 includes a pair of side walls 33 connected to the pair of furnace side walls 23 to form side surfaces of the sub-side wall 3, and a ceiling wall 34 connected to the furnace ceiling wall 24 to serve as the ceiling of the sub-side wall 3. A bottom wall 35, which is arranged below the pair of side walls 33 and serves as a bottom surface of the sub-side wall portion 3, is provided.

A nose 22a formed of a recess formed by projecting the rear wall 22 of the furnace toward the combustion space side of the furnace 2 is formed at the upper end of the rear wall 22 of the furnace and the connection portion with the bottom wall 35.

The cage portion 4 is arranged to face the rear wall 22 of the furnace of the furnace 2 and is the front surface of the cage portion 4, and is arranged to face the front wall 41 of the cage and is the rear surface of the cage portion 4. The cage portion is connected to the cage rear wall 42, a pair of cage side walls 43 arranged between the cage front wall 41 and the cage rear wall 42 to form side surfaces of the cage portion 4, and the ceiling wall 34 of the sub side wall portion 3. A cage ceiling wall 44, which serves as the ceiling of 4, is provided.

As shown in FIG. 3, the furnace 2 is connected to a plurality of steel frame columns 12f provided in front of the furnace 2 via a plurality of cysmic ties 13f. More specifically, the back stay 25f (hereinafter referred to as “front back stay”) provided on the front wall 21 of the furnace and the steel frame column 12f are connected by a cymic tie 13f.

Further, the cage portion 4 is connected to a plurality of steel frame columns 12b provided behind the cage portion 4 via a plurality of psychic ties 13b. More specifically, the back stay 25b (hereinafter referred to as "rear back stay") provided on the rear wall 42 of the cage and the steel frame column 12b are connected by a cymic tie 13b.

In the boiler 1, each wall constituting the furnace 2, the sub-side wall portion 3, and the cage portion 4 alternately has a heat transfer tube through which a fluid flows and a plate-shaped membrane bar extending in the direction in which the heat transfer tube extends. It is formed of a bonded panel-shaped membrane wall.

As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 3, a front back stay 25f made of H-shaped steel is attached to the rear wall 22 of the furnace. A rear back stay 25b made of H-shaped steel is also attached to the front wall 41 of the cage.

When an earthquake occurs, stress is concentrated on the part where the flow direction of combustion gas from the furnace 2 to the sub-side wall 3 and the cage 4 changes (indicated by "X" in FIGS. 2 and 3) and the nose 22a. Easy to break.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the relative displacement between the furnace rear wall 22 and the cage front wall 41 is evaluated based on the sensor data detected by the vibration detection sensor. In this embodiment, a 3-axis acceleration sensor is used as the vibration detection sensor. Then, the amplitude of the acceleration waveform in each direction of XYZ detected by the three-axis acceleration sensors installed on the rear wall 22 side of the furnace and the front wall 41 side of the cage is converted into the amplitude of the relative displacement waveform, and this amplitude is from the lower limit allowable value to the upper limit. Monitor whether the area is in the safe range between the tolerances, below the lower limit tolerance, or above the upper tolerance limit. Further, based on the sensor data from the 3-axis acceleration sensor on the rear wall 22 of the furnace and the relative displacement converted using the sensor data from the 3-axis acceleration sensor on the front wall 41 of the cage, the furnace 2 and the cage portion 4 Estimate the state of torsional deformation. This estimation also leads to the prediction of the occurrence of tears. The 3-axis accelerometer itself can only detect the motion of the furnace rear wall 22 and the cage front wall 41, but cannot detect the relative displacement, but the 3-axis acceleration sensor itself has three axes for each of the furnace rear wall 22 and the cage front wall 41. By arranging an acceleration sensor and converting the acceleration waveform into a relative displacement waveform, it is possible to detect the relative displacement amount.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, three three-axis acceleration sensors 101A1, 101A2, and 101A3 are installed in the left-right direction of the front back stay 25f at the height position L1 (the height where the nose 22a is). Similarly, three 3-axis accelerometers 101A4, 101A5, 101A6 are installed facing the 3-axis accelerometers 101A1, 101A2, 101A3 along the left-right direction of the rear back stay 25b at the height position L1. At the height position L1, three pairs of three-axis accelerometer groups, 101A1 and 101A4, 101A2 and 101A5, 101A3 and 101A6, which are arranged to face each other, are arranged.

Also, three pairs of 3-axis acceleration sensors are arranged in each of the front back stay 25f and the rear back stay 25b at the height position L2 below the height position L1. From the above, the boiler 1 is provided with 12 3-axis accelerometers, 3 rows in the left-right direction and 2 stages in the up-down direction, for a total of 6 pairs.

Further, three pairs of 3-axis acceleration sensors may be arranged in each of the front back stay 25f and the rear back stay 25b at the height position L3 below the height position L2. In this case, the boiler 1 is provided with a total of 9 pairs of 18 3-axis accelerometers, 3 rows in the left-right direction and 3 stages in the up-down direction.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the earthquake monitoring process according to the first embodiment. The earthquake monitoring system 100 is activated while the boiler 1 is in operation. While the earthquake monitoring system 100 is running, each 3-axis accelerometer outputs sensor data. The earthquake monitoring device 103 acquires sensor data via the network 105 (S101).

Next, the earthquake monitoring device 103 monitors the relative displacements of the furnace rear wall 22 and the cage front wall 41.

Specifically, the seismic monitoring device 103 calculates the difference between the X-direction, Y-direction, and Z-direction component waveforms of the sensor data output from the three-axis acceleration sensors arranged so as to face each other (S102).

The earthquake monitoring device 103 analyzes the relative displacement between the furnace 2 and the cage portion 4 from the difference between the waveforms of each component (S103). An example of relative displacement will be described later.

The earthquake monitoring device 103 monitors whether the amplitude of the relative displacement analyzed above is between the lower limit allowable value and the upper limit allowable value (within the allowable range) (S104). If the permissible range is exceeded here, an alert may be output.

The earthquake monitoring device 103 outputs the analysis result of the relative displacement between the furnace and the cage portion to the output device 104 (S105). When the earthquake monitoring process is terminated (S106: YES), the process is terminated. When continuing the earthquake monitoring process (S106: NO), the process returns to step S101.

An example of relative displacement will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8.

FIG. 6 shows a state in which the furnace 2 and the cage portion 4 are twisted and deformed in the left-right direction (twist deformation A). In this case, there is almost no relative displacement between the furnace 2 and the cage portion 4 in the X and Z directions. However, the relative displacement between the furnace 2 in the Y direction and the cage portion 4 is measured. That is, among the differences between the component waveforms in each direction obtained in step S103, the amplitude of the component waveform in the Y direction is measured, and the amplitude of the component waveforms in the X and Z directions is hardly measured.

FIG. 7 shows a state in which a torsional deformation (twisting deformation B) occurs in which the distance between the furnace 2 and the cage portion 4 increases from right to left in the left-right direction. In this case, there is no relative displacement between the furnace 2 in the Y direction and the Z direction and the cage portion 4. However, in the X direction, although the relative displacement is not measured on the right side, the relative displacement in the X direction increases toward the left. That is, the amplitude of the difference between the component waveforms in the X direction is measured so as to spread from right to left.

FIG. 8 shows a state in which a torsional deformation (twisting deformation C) occurs in which the distance between the furnace 2 and the cage portion 4 increases from left to right in the left-right direction. In this case, there is no relative displacement between the furnace 2 in the Y direction and the Z direction and the cage portion 4. However, in the X direction, although the relative displacement is not measured on the left side, the relative displacement in the X direction increases toward the right. That is, the amplitude of the difference between the component waveforms in the X direction is measured so as to spread from left to right.

According to this embodiment, a vibration detection sensor is attached to the facing surface between the furnace 2 and the cage portion 4, and the detected sensor data is converted into a relative displacement amount and output to the earthquake monitoring device 103. The seismic monitoring device 103 determines whether the relative displacement amount exceeds or does not exceed the damage tolerance.

Further, since the vibration detection sensors are mounted in a plurality of stages in the vertical direction and in a plurality of rows in the horizontal direction, the relative displacements of the facing surfaces can be measured with respect to the relative displacement amounts of the furnace 2 and the cage portion 4. As a result, it is possible to measure how the furnace 2 and the cage portion 4 move in what period and direction, and it becomes easy to estimate whether the furnace 2 and the cage portion 4 will be damaged.

In particular, by measuring the relative displacements of the height positions L1 and L2 in the vicinity of the nose 22a and the vicinity of the flow path direction changing portion X of the combustion gas, the elastic deformation in the height direction of the furnace 2 and the cage portion 4 is taken into consideration. , The relative displacement of the furnace 2 and the cage portion 4 can be measured.

Further, since three relative displacement detection sensors are attached to each of the front back stay 25f and the rear back stay 25b along the left-right direction, the furnace 2 and the cage portion 4 are twisted in the left-right direction, that is, left and right. It is easy to measure even when deformation occurs at any of the three points, the edge and the center.

In particular, a 3-axis accelerometer is used as a vibration detection sensor, and vibrations in the X, Y, and Z directions at points on the facing surfaces of the furnace 2 and the cage 4 are detected and analyzed to detect and analyze the vibrations in the furnace 2 and the cage 4. The momentum in each of the X, Y, and Z directions of 4 can be measured, and what kind of torsional deformation is occurring can be estimated. From the estimation result, if there is a torsional deformation that is easily damaged, the repair preparation can be started promptly, the operation stop time due to the damage of the boiler 1 can be shortened, and the power transmission stop time to the grid can be shortened. Can be expected.

As the vibration detection sensor, a contact type distance sensor or a non-contact type distance sensor may be used instead of the 3-axis acceleration sensor. As the contact type distance sensor, for example, a wire type displacement meter that electrically outputs the length from which the stainless steel wire is pulled out may be used. Further, a transformer type displacement meter using a coil may be used. Further, a scale type displacement meter having a scale (ruler) inside may be used. Further, a scale shot system in which the absolute value glass scale is photographed at high speed with a CMOS sensor may be used.

Further, as an example of the non-contact type distance sensor, an ultrasonic range finder, a lidar, or an infrared sensor may be used. Even when a distance sensor is used, the motion estimation of the furnace 2 and the cage portion 4 is performed by arranging a plurality of distance sensors on the facing surfaces of the furnace 2 and the cage portion 4 and measuring the relative displacement between the facing surfaces. As a result, damage can be predicted.

In the first embodiment, since it is sufficient that the relative displacement can be analyzed, it is feasible even if the vibration detection sensor is provided on either the rear wall 22 of the furnace or the front wall 41 of the cage. On the other hand, in the second embodiment described later, the mode of monitoring the instantaneous value of the momentum of the furnace 2 and the instantaneous value of the momentum of the cage portion 4 is at least 1 for each of the furnace rear wall 22 or the cage front wall 41. This can be achieved by providing one or more vibration detection sensors. When monitoring the instantaneous value of momentum indicated by the sensor data of the vibration detection sensor used in the first embodiment by combining the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the rear wall 22 of the furnace or the front wall 41 of the cage The momentum indicated by the sensor data of the vibration detection sensor provided in either one may be compared with the warning threshold described later.

<Second Embodiment>
In the second embodiment, a warning threshold value is set in advance for the instantaneous value of the momentum (acceleration and displacement in this embodiment) indicated by the sensor data of the vibration detection sensors 101A1 to 101An, and a warning is issued when the warning threshold value or more is reached. It is an embodiment that emits. The first embodiment is an embodiment in which seismic monitoring is performed focusing on the relative displacement between the furnace 2 and the cage portion 4, whereas in the present embodiment, the instantaneous value of the momentum indicated by the sensor data is not the relative displacement. It differs in that it focuses on. The warning threshold value corresponds to each of the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the range (allowable range) in which the instantaneous value of the momentum indicated by the sensor data is allowed to fluctuate. If it is within the permissible range, that is, if the instantaneous value of the sensor data is greater than the lower limit value of the permissible range and less than the upper limit value, no warning is issued.

In the following explanation, a 3-axis acceleration sensor is used as the vibration detection sensor, and the instantaneous value of the acceleration indicated by the sensor data and the instantaneous value of the displacement calculated based on the acceleration are monitored.

Alternatively, a gauge sensor or a distance sensor may be used together as a vibration detection sensor, and the instantaneous value of displacement may be monitored based on these sensor data. Further, a gauge sensor or a distance sensor may be used to calculate the acceleration based on these sensor data and use it as a monitoring target.

Also, only acceleration or only displacement may be monitored.

FIG. 9 is a schematic configuration diagram of the earthquake monitoring system 100a of the boiler 1 according to the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, the network 105 is a network for constructing a cloud environment. Then, the vibration detection sensors 101A1, 101A2, 101A3, ..., 101An installed in the boiler 1 and the center 110 are communicated and connected via the network 105.

The network 105 may be connected by communication between the portable terminal device 104a carried by the operator of the boiler 1 and the control console 104b placed in the control room of the thermal power plant in which the boiler 1 is installed. Then, the warning from the earthquake monitoring device 103 may be output to the mobile terminal device 104a or the control console 104b in addition to the output device 104 of the center 110.

Hereinafter, the flow of the earthquake monitoring process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the flow of the earthquake monitoring process according to the second embodiment.

The earthquake monitoring device 103 acquires a warning threshold value for comparison with the instantaneous value of momentum indicated by the sensor data output from the vibration detection sensors 101A1 to 101An (S201). As shown in FIG. 9, the warning threshold value when acceleration is monitored includes a positive acceleration warning threshold value (upper limit value of the allowable range) and a negative acceleration warning threshold value (lower limit value of the allowable range). included. Further, the warning threshold value when the displacement is monitored includes a displacement warning threshold value in the positive direction (upper limit value of the allowable range) and a displacement warning threshold value in the negative direction (lower limit value of the allowable range). These warning thresholds may be determined based on the values obtained as a result of structural analysis of the boiler 1 in advance, or may be determined from the design values.

The earthquake monitoring device 103 acquires the sensor data of all the vibration detection sensors 101A1 to 101An via the network 105 (S202).

If the acceleration indicated by the sensor data from all the vibration detection sensors 101A1 to 101An is included in the permissible range, that is, if the acceleration is larger than the negative acceleration warning threshold and less than the positive acceleration warning threshold, the seismic monitoring device 103 is used. It is determined that the acceleration is within the permissible range (S203: YES).

Further, in the seismic monitoring device 103, if the displacement indicated by the sensor data from all the vibration detection sensors 101A1 to 101An is included in the allowable range, that is, if it is larger than the displacement warning threshold in the negative direction and less than the displacement warning threshold in the positive direction. , It is determined that the displacement is within the permissible range (S204: YES).

On the other hand, when the acceleration indicated by the sensor data from one or more vibration detection sensors 101A1 to 101An is equal to or more than the acceleration warning threshold in the positive direction or equal to or less than the acceleration warning threshold in the negative direction (S203: NO), or one or more. When the displacement indicated by the sensor data from the vibration detection sensors 101A1 to 101An is equal to or greater than the displacement warning threshold in the positive direction or equal to or less than the displacement warning threshold in the negative direction (S204: NO), warning information is sent to the output device 104. Output (S205).

The output mode of the warning information may be displayed on the screen of the output device 104. Further, the warning information may be transmitted from the earthquake monitoring device 103 to the mobile terminal device 104a and the control console 104b via the network 105. At that time, as warning information, the URL where the report containing the sensor data (RAW data) or the like is uploaded may be sent.

Step S203 and step S204 may be in reverse order. Further, when only the acceleration is to be monitored, step S204 is skipped, and when only the displacement is to be monitored, step S203 is skipped.

The earthquake monitoring device 103 returns to step S201 when the instantaneous values of all the acquired sensor data are within the permissible range (S204: YES) and the earthquake monitoring process is not completed (S206: NO). When the earthquake monitoring process is terminated (S206: YES), this process is terminated.

According to the present embodiment, by monitoring the instantaneous value of the sensor data, it is possible to monitor the motion state of each part of the furnace 2 and the cage portion 4 to predict or monitor the damage of the boiler 1. it can.

For example, when the furnace 2 and the cage 4 move in the same direction with substantially the same acceleration or displacement, it is difficult to measure how the furnace 2 and the cage 4 move only by the amount of change in the relative displacement. However, in the present embodiment, since the instantaneous value of each sensor data is compared with the warning threshold value, it is possible to measure and warn the movement that is unlikely to appear in the relative displacement.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. It is the subject of the invention. Although the above-described embodiment shows a suitable example, those skilled in the art can realize various alternative examples, modified examples, modified examples, or improved examples from the contents disclosed in the present specification. These are included in the technical scope described in the appended claims.

Further, the first embodiment and the second embodiment may be used together for one boiler 1.
