Abstract

The problems of state estimation of thermal power system operation and identification of mathematical model parameters have not been acceptably solved due to the complexity of studied objects and their mathematical models, and the lack of effective methods, algorithms and computer programs to solve the required mathematical problems. The results of solving the indicated problems are of importance as such, and play a great part in the qualitative solution to the problems of thermal power equipment control, e.g., the problems of optimal load dispatch among thermal power plant units and optimal control of thermal power equipment operation conditions. The paper describes an effective three-stage technique of mathematical model identification of complex thermal power equipment. The technique allows us to more effectively detect gross errors in measurements of control parameters used for identification of the mathematical model of the studied equipment, to evaluate correctness and rectify errors in the mathematical model construction, and to improve identification accuracy. The article presents a new formulation of the optimization problem for more efficient identification of mathematical models of heat power equipment. An effective three-stage technique of mathematical model identification of complex thermal power equipment was tested on a detailed mathematical model of the present-day 225 MW generating unit that was constructed by the author. The paper presents results of solving the identification problem of mathematical model parameters of a generating unit.
