Application of Homemade DCS in Integrated BOP Control of 600-MW Supercritical Unit

The PLC and upper computer are used in BOP control system of traditional thermal power plant to monitor the in-situ equipment. It is complicated and wastes labor and resources. It is difficult to maintain and manage them. Beijing GuoDian ZhiShen Control Technology applied the homemade DCS (EDPF-NT System) to the integrated BOP control system of 600-MW supercritical power unit, which offers advantages in efficiency promotion, cost reduction and resource sharing. That also reflects the dominance of EDPF-NT System in performance, price, real-time DUP, network compatibility and communication. This article introduces the main characteristics, structure and configuration of EDPF-NT System, as well as the hierarchical operation, the multi-domain network structure and the private network router developed for Zhuanghe Power Plant.

Anti-Windup Control Strategy of Drive System for Humanoid Robot Arm Joint

To address the problems of torque limit and controller saturation in the control of robot arm joint,an anti-windup control strategy is proposed for a humanoid robot arm,which is based on the integral state prediction under the direct torque control system of brushless DC motor. First,the arm joint of the humanoid robot is modelled. Then the speed controller model and the influence of the initial value of the integral element on the system are analyzed. On the basis of the traditional antiwindup controller,an integral state estimator is set up. Under the condition of different load torques and the given speed,the integral steady-state value is estimated. Therefore the accumulation of the speed error terminates when the integrator reaches saturation. Then the predicted integral steady-state value is used as the initial value of the regulator to enter the linear region to make the system achieve the purpose of anti-windup. The simulation results demonstrate that the control strategy for the humanoid robot arm joint based on integral state prediction can play the role of anti-windup and suppress the overshoot of the system effectively. The system has a good dynamic performance.

Dynamic State Estimation of Medium-voltage DC Integrated Power System with Pulse Load

The dynamic characteristic evaluation is an important prerequisite for safe and reliable operation of the mediumvoltage DC integrated power system(MIPS),and the dynamic state estimation is an essential technical approach to the evaluation.Unlike the electromechanical transient process in a traditional power system,periodic change in pulse load of the MIPS is an electromagnetic transient process.As the system state suddenly changes in the range of a smaller time constant,it is difficult to estimate the dynamic state due to periodic disturbance.This paper presents a dynamic mathematical model of the MIPS according to the network structure and control strategy,thereby overcoming the restrictions of algebraic variables on the estimation and developing a dynamic state estimation method based on the extended Kalman filter.Using the method of adding fictitious process noise,it is possible to solve the problem that the linearized algorithm of the MIPS model is less reliable when an abrupt change occurs in the pulse load.Therefore,the accuracy of the dynamic state estimation and the stability of the filter can be improved under the periodic disturbance of pulse load.The simulation and experimental results confirm that the proposed model and method are feasible and effective.
