Description

Technical Field

[0002] Conventional thermal power units have high peak power consumption and much less power consumption during off-peak hours. During peak power consumption periods, boilers are overloaded, which will have a great impact on the life and operation of thermal power units in the long run; during off-peak power consumption periods, thermal power units are in a reduced-load operation state. At this time, the steam production of the boiler is greater than the steam consumption of the turbine, and some high-temperature steam will be wasted.

[0003] To this end, technicians have carried out flexibility transformation of thermal power units. The most common method is to use thermoelectric decoupling technology for transformation, among which the research and application of heat storage devices are the most extensive. Molten salt heat storage technology is widely used in the flexibility transformation of thermal power units because of its advantages such as low cost, stable working state, high heat storage density and long heat storage time. The main principle of molten salt heat storage technology is to store the abundant steam heat in the form of molten salt sensible heat during the low electricity consumption period, and then release it during the peak electricity consumption period to generate electricity, thereby improving the deep peak regulation capacity of thermal power.

[0004] At present, thermal power plants that adopt coupled molten salt heat storage systems usually use main steam and molten salt for heat exchange. However, due to the high pressure of main steam, large throttling losses will be generated during the main steam extraction process, resulting in unsatisfactory heat exchange effects. More steam is needed to increase the temperature of the molten salt. Summary of the invention

[0017] As a limitation, the molten salt heat storage tank adopts a single thermocline heat storage tank.

[0018] As a further limitation, the single thermostatic layer heat storage tank includes a tank body placed on a foundation, the tank body includes a tank wall, the top of the tank wall is welded to the tank top, and the bottom is welded to the tank bottom, thereby forming a hollow tank body; a heat storage medium is contained inside the tank body; and the outside of the tank wall is covered with an insulation layer.

[0019] As a further limitation, two fixing ports for installing molten salt pumps are provided on the top of the tank, and the first molten salt pump and the second molten salt pump are fixed at the two fixing ports respectively by screws.

[0021] The deep peak-shaving heat storage and release method of the reheat steam staged regulation power station is implemented by using the above-mentioned deep peak-shaving heat storage and release system of the reheat steam staged regulation power station. The method includes a heat storage stage and a heat release stage.

[0022] In the heat storage stage, the steam boiler is kept running at full load, the second steam regulating valve and the third steam regulating valve are opened, and the fourth steam regulating valve, the fifth steam regulating valve and the feed water control valve are closed; in the initial stage of heat storage, the heating power of the electric heater is adjusted according to the situation, the low-temperature molten salt in the molten salt heat storage tank is pumped out by the first molten salt pump and then sent to the low-temperature side heat exchanger, the low-temperature molten salt is heated by the electric heater, and after the low-temperature molten salt is heated to medium-temperature molten salt, the electric heater is turned off; then a part of the reheated steam is drawn from the steam boiler to flow into the low-temperature side heat exchanger to exchange heat with the medium-temperature molten salt, and the medium-temperature molten salt is heated to high-temperature molten salt and then flows back to the molten salt heat storage tank for storage;

[0023] During the heat release stage, the unit is kept running at high load, the first steam regulating valve, the second steam regulating valve and the third steam regulating valve are closed, and the fourth steam regulating valve, the fifth steam regulating valve and the feed water control valve are opened; the high-temperature lava in the molten salt heat storage tank is pumped out by the second molten salt pump and sent to the high-temperature side heat exchanger, and the feed water coming out of the deaerator flows into the high-temperature side heat exchanger to exchange heat with the high-temperature molten salt. The generated medium-temperature water is combined with the water coming out of the feed water heater and sent to the steam boiler to absorb heat, evaporate and superheat, and then enter the steam turbine to do work. The low-temperature molten salt formed after heat exchange and cooling of the high-temperature molten salt flows back to the molten salt heat storage tank to participate in the next round of circulation.

[0024] As a limitation, during the heat storage stage, the first steam regulating valve is opened at the same time, and another path is drawn out from the reheated steam so that it passes through the third pipeline and enters the first user-side heat exchanger to provide a heat source for the user.

[0025] As a further limitation, the process of generating reheated steam is as follows: water is heated in the steam boiler to become high-temperature steam, and then enters the high-pressure cylinder through the first pipe. The high-temperature steam expands and performs work in the high-pressure cylinder. After the work is completed, it returns to the steam boiler through the second pipe to be heated again to form reheated steam.

[0026] As a further limitation, a portion of the reheated steam is led out through a fourth pipe into the low pressure cylinder to perform work;

[0027] The exhaust steam formed after the work is completed passes through the twelfth pipeline, the low-temperature steam formed after heat exchange with the medium-temperature molten salt passes through the eleventh pipeline, and the medium-temperature steam formed after supplying heat to the heat user through the first user-side heat exchanger passes through the tenth pipeline, and enters the deaerator for deoxidation and condensation together, and then enters the feed water heater through the eighteenth pipeline, and exchanges heat with the high-temperature steam drawn out from the high-pressure cylinder through the thirteenth pipeline. After the heat exchange, the feed water with the initial temperature increased flows back to the steam boiler through the fifteenth pipeline to increase the temperature and pressure, and participate in the next round of circulation.

[0028] As a further limitation, in the heat release stage, the medium-temperature water generated after the heat exchange in the high-temperature side heat exchanger is completed enters the second user-side heat exchanger through the fourteenth pipeline to provide heating to the user, and the cold water generated after the heating is completed enters the deaerator through the seventeenth pipeline.

[0029] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following technical advances compared with the prior art:

[0030] (1) If the unit still needs to generate rated power after the main steam pressure drops, the main steam flow rate will increase accordingly, which will cause the pressure before each non-regulating stage to increase, and the enthalpy drop of the last few stages to increase. Therefore, the load of each non-regulating stage will increase, and the overload of the last few stages will be the most serious. The axial thrust of the whole machine will also increase accordingly. In the present invention, reheat steam is extracted from the reheat steam side of the unit and the heat of high-temperature steam is stored. The heat of the whole system The efficiency is greatly improved and the system stability can be improved because the reheat steam pressure is lower, the throttling loss is smaller, and the reheat steam at the reheater outlet hardly changes the heat balance of the boiler reheater;

[0031] (2) In the prior art, the heat exchange effect between low-temperature molten salt and steam is not ideal due to the large temperature difference between the two media, and more steam is needed to increase the temperature of the molten salt. The present invention adds electric heating on the basis of using reheated steam to heat the low-temperature molten salt. First, the electric heating can respond quickly and further absorb the heat of steam after the molten salt is heated; second, the electric heating can adjust the power according to requirements and respond according to needs; finally, the electric heating absorbs the heat of steam after the molten salt is melted, and the higher temperature reheated steam can be used to store more heat, thereby avoiding heat waste;

[0032] (3) The present invention can reduce the heat burden of heat users around the thermal power plant by continuously delivering heat to the surrounding heat users;

[0033] (4) The present invention uses a single-tank heat storage system, which reduces the floor space and molten salt usage compared to the traditional double-tank heat storage system, has a long service life, is easy to maintain, and reduces the possibility of freezing. At the same time, the molten salt single-tank system is provided with two heat exchangers, namely a low-temperature side heat exchanger and a high-temperature side heat exchanger, which can prevent the heat storage and heat release processes from interfering with each other, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. Furthermore, the high-temperature side heat exchanger is connected to the feed water heater. During the heat release process, the high-temperature molten salt exchanges heat with the low-temperature water, thereby increasing the feed water temperature, reducing the reheat extraction, and increasing the condensation work to increase the power generation.

[0034] The present invention belongs to the technical field of molten salt heat storage in thermal power plants, and can improve the stability of the system, the flexibility of heat storage and the heat storage efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0053] In this embodiment, the molten salt heat storage tank 10 adopts a single thermocline heat storage tank. The structure of the single thermocline heat storage tank adopted in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 4 As shown,

[0123] Example 2: Reheat steam staged regulation power station deep peak regulation heat storage and release method

[0124] This embodiment is implemented by using Embodiment 1.

[0125] Normally, water is heated in the steam boiler 5 to form high-temperature steam, and then enters the high-pressure cylinder 12 through the first pipe. The high-temperature steam expands in the high-pressure cylinder 12 to do work, and returns to the steam boiler 5 through the second pipe to be heated again after the work is completed, forming reheated steam. After the reheating is completed, the generated reheated steam enters the low-pressure cylinder 13 through the fourth pipe to do work, and the exhaust steam formed after the work is completed enters the deaerator 14 through the twelfth pipe for deoxidation and condensation, and then enters the feed water heater 16 through the eighteenth pipe for heating. The heated feed water flows back to the steam boiler 5 through the fifteenth pipe to continue to absorb heat, evaporate and superheat, and participate in the next cycle.

[0126] At the low point of electricity consumption, the heat storage stage is entered. In the heat storage stage, the steam boiler 5 is kept running at full load, the second steam regulating valve 6 and the third steam regulating valve 17 are opened, and the fourth steam regulating valve 18, the fifth steam regulating valve 19 and the feed water control valve 15 are closed; at the initial stage of heat storage, the heating power of the electric heater 8 is adjusted according to the situation, the low-temperature molten salt in the molten salt heat storage tank 10 is pumped out by the first molten salt pump 9 and then sent to the low-temperature side heat exchanger 7 through the sixth pipeline, and the low-temperature molten salt is heated by the electric heater 8. After the low-temperature molten salt is heated to medium-temperature molten salt, the electric heater 8 is turned off; then a part of the reheated steam is drawn from the steam boiler 5 through the fifth pipeline to flow into the low-temperature side heat exchanger 7 for heat exchange with the medium-temperature molten salt, and the medium-temperature molten salt is heated to high-temperature molten salt and then flows back to the molten salt heat storage tank 10 through the seventh pipeline for storage. Further, in the heat storage stage, the first steam regulating valve 4 is opened at the same time, and another path is drawn from the reheated steam to make it enter the first user side heat exchanger 2 through the third pipeline to provide a heat source for the heat user 1.

[0127] The exhaust steam formed after the work in the low-pressure cylinder 13 is completed passes through the twelfth pipeline, the low-temperature steam formed after heat exchange with the medium-temperature molten salt passes through the eleventh pipeline, and the medium-temperature steam formed after the first user-side heat exchanger 2 provides heat to the heat user 1 passes through the tenth pipeline, and enters the deaerator 14 for deoxidation and condensation, and then enters the feed water heater 16 through the eighteenth pipeline, and exchanges heat with the high-temperature steam drawn out from the high-pressure cylinder 12 through the thirteenth pipeline. After the heat exchange, the feed water with the initial temperature increased flows back to the steam boiler 5 through the fifteenth pipeline to increase the temperature and pressure, and participates in the next round of circulation.

[0128] During the peak electricity consumption period, the heat release phase is entered. During the heat release phase, the unit is kept running at a high load. The first steam regulating valve 4, the second steam regulating valve 6 and the third steam regulating valve 17 are closed, and the fourth steam regulating valve 18, the fifth steam regulating valve 19 and the feed water control valve 15 are opened. The high-temperature molten rock in the molten salt heat storage tank 10 is pumped out by the second molten salt pump 91 and then sent to the high-temperature side heat exchanger 11 through the eighth pipeline. The feed water from the deaerator 14 flows into the high-temperature side heat exchanger 11 through the nineteenth pipeline to exchange heat with the high-temperature molten salt. The medium-temperature water generated by the heat exchange, on the one hand, is combined with the water from the feed water heater 16 and sent to the steam boiler 5 through the fifteenth pipeline to absorb heat, evaporate and superheat, and enter the steam turbine to do work. On the other hand, it enters the second user side heat exchanger 3 through the fourteenth pipeline to provide heat to the heat user 1. The cold water generated after the heat supply is completed enters the deaerator 14 through the seventeenth pipeline. The low-temperature molten salt formed after the heat exchange and cooling of the high-temperature molten salt flows back to the molten salt heat storage tank 10 to participate in the next cycle.

[0129] The term "adjusting the heating power of the electric heater 8 according to the situation" in this embodiment refers to the surplus power generation of the power plant on that day. If the external power demand is small, more power can be used to increase the heating power; if the external power demand is large, the electric heater 8 can provide a lower power, and the remaining heating part is completed by the excess steam in idle time. There is no absolute standard for the low-temperature molten salt, medium-temperature molten salt, and high-temperature molten salt mentioned in this embodiment. The melting temperature varies depending on the type of molten salt. Taking the binary salt, which is currently more widely used, as an example, low-temperature molten salt usually refers to molten salt at about 290°C, medium-temperature molten salt refers to molten salt at about 410°C, and high-temperature molten salt refers to molten salt above 500°C.
