Influence of Tubular Turbine Runaway for Back Pressure Power Generation on the Stability of Circulating Cooling Water System

With the increasing maturity of tubular turbine power generation technology, an increasing number of industrial applications use it to recover the rich back pressure energy of a circulating cooling water system (CCWS). However, the influence of tubular turbine runaway on the stability of CCWS is sti...

description With the increasing maturity of tubular turbine power generation technology, an increasing number of industrial applications use it to recover the rich back pressure energy of a circulating cooling water system (CCWS). However, the influence of tubular turbine runaway on the stability of CCWS is still unclear. This work combines the one-dimensional (1D) method of characteristics (MOC) with the three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD), develops a 1D CCWS and 3D tubular turbine coupling simulation method, and simulates the runaway and runaway shutdown processes of tubular turbine under small flow rate condition and large flow rate condition in the real system. Results show that the main operating parameters of the system slightly change when the tubular turbine transitions from the steady state to the runaway condition. The runner’s radial force substantially increases in the runaway condition of the tubular turbine, and the phenomenon of violent oscillation is observed compared with the steady state. During the shutdown process of the tubular turbine runaway condition, the valves in parallel and series with the faulty turbine adopt a reasonable cooperative control strategy, which allows for a smooth recovery of the system operating pressure to the original steady state conditions.
