Description

A heliostat optical path closed-loop control system and method

technical field

The invention belongs to the technical field of solar thermal power generation, and in particular relates to a closed-loop control system and method for an optical path of a tower solar middle heliostat.

Background technique

As the core component of a tower solar thermal power station, the function of the heliostat is to reflect the sunlight that hits its surface to the target heat sink area. Since the position of the sun keeps changing with time, the heliostat needs to have sufficient control accuracy to ensure that the pointing accuracy of the reflected light meets the design requirements, that is, the sunlight reflected by the heliostat can continuously and accurately irradiate the target heat absorber area, so as to ensure the concentration efficiency of solar energy in the heat absorber area and the working efficiency of the solar thermal power station.

The existing heliostat control methods are based on open-loop control, the core of which is the motion model of the heliostat. Firstly, the heliostat motion model is obtained by iteratively calibrating the whiteboard and image collector, etc., and then the operation information required by the heliostat is estimated according to the calculation result of the sun position and the heliostat motion model, that is, the generation including the time , the operation table of the turning angle, and finally the heliostat transmission control mechanism controls the heliostat to rotate according to the operation table.

The open-loop control method of the heliostat has the following problems: 1) It needs a long debugging time. The open-loop control method relies on the motion model of the heliostat, and the control accuracy is ensured by correcting the motion model. The conventional motion model correction method is the calibration whiteboard method, that is, the sun spot of the target heliostat is reflected to the target calibration whiteboard area at different time periods, and then the image is analyzed by the image acquisition system to determine the actual position of the center of the reflected spot, and finally based on the time information. and the center position of the reflected light spot to solve the motion model of the target heliostat. Another heliostat motion model correction method is to install an image acquisition system on the heliostat that rotates with the rotation of the heliostat. The image acquisition system takes the sun or other celestial bodies with certain brightness as the target, The deviation of the position of the plane from the center of the image plane solves the motion model of the target heliostat. No matter what kind of heliostat motion model correction is adopted, it takes a long time to debug and iteratively correct the motion model. Only when the accuracy of the corrected motion model meets the design requirements, the deviation between the estimated operation information of the heliostat and the actual operation situation can meet the design requirements, and the accuracy of the open-loop control of the heliostat can be effectively guaranteed. 2) Real-time feedback is not available. The existing open-loop control method relies on the motion model to estimate the operation information of the heliostat, and performs unidirectional control based on sequential action on the heliostat, that is, the heliostat is only operated according to the estimated operation table during the actual rotation process. Rotation, it is impossible to give feedback on the accuracy of the actual posture of the heliostat, so it does not have the ability to automatically correct the deviation. Since the motion model is an abstract summary of the actual operation of the heliostat, the estimated result is only close to the actual situation, but cannot fully represent the actual situation. Therefore, the attitude of the heliostat controlled based on the motion model will be different from the actual target attitude. deviation. Due to the lack of real-time feedback, the heliostat cannot handle some abnormal situations, such as the uncorrectable imperfection of the model in some areas of the travel range, and the change of the surface shape caused by the wind. 3) The performance index of the mechanical transmission mechanism has high requirements. In order to ensure the accuracy and stability of the open-loop control, the heliostat mechanical transmission mechanism needs to have high performance index requirements, including repeatability accuracy requirements, rotation consistency requirements, etc. If the performance index is poor, that is, when the performance parameters such as repeatability accuracy and rotation consistency are poor, the rotation of the heliostat will show no obvious regularity, so that the motion model cannot accurately describe the actual rotation of the heliostat, which makes the opening and closing of the heliostat impossible. The attitude of the heliostat in the loop control state is uncontrollable. This will also affect the concentration efficiency of sunlight energy in the heat sink area, and even cause safety hazards due to the uncontrollable direction of the reflected light.

Therefore, a high-precision and high-efficiency heliostat optical path closed-loop control system is required to accurately correct the real-time attitude of the heliostat, so that the reflected sunlight spot can be accurately irradiated to the target area and ensure the concentration of solar energy in the heater area. Efficiency and photothermal conversion efficiency of solar thermal power plants.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention aims at the characteristics of high control precision of the heliostat in the tower solar thermal power generation technology, and uses the principle of optical path reflection to realize the real-time control of the attitude of the heliostat by controlling the direction of the incident light or the direction of the reflected light, which effectively solves the problem. The problem that the attitude of the heliostat cannot be corrected in real time based on the optical path feedback in the open-loop control mode is solved, and a high-precision, high-efficiency, real-time closed-loop control system of the heliostat optical path is realized.

The present invention is a closed-loop control system for the light path of a heliostat, comprising: a light spot sensor, a heliostat rotation controller and a calculation unit. The light spot sensor is fixed on the heliostat and rotates synchronously with the rotation of the reflective surface of the target heliostat. The calculation unit is used to calculate the actual position of the target heliostat sun spot or sun image, calculate the desired position of the target heliostat sun spot or sun image, calculate the deviation between the actual position of the sun spot and the desired position, or calculate the actual position of the sun image. The deviation from the desired position, the sun spot or sun image position deviation is converted into a correction value for the rotation of the heliostat. The heliostat rotation controller is fixed on the target heliostat, and its function is to control the rotation of the heliostat. Data is exchanged between the computing unit and the heliostat rotation controller in a wired or wireless form, and data exchange is performed between the heliostat rotation controller and the light spot sensor in a wired or wireless form .

The heliostat optical path closed-loop control system is classified into a reflective type and a direct type according to the different working modes of the spot sensor.

Part of the sunlight is received by the receiving surface of the spot sensor to form a sun image, and the rest of the sunlight is reflected to the target area through the heliostat reflecting surface; the actual position of the sun image can be described by the geometric center of the sun image or the energy distribution center of mass, which is characterized by The actual incident light pointing to the target heliostat. The direct-type optical path closed-loop control system senses the actual incident light direction of the target heliostat through the spot sensor.
