Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermal power generation dispatching, and specifically discloses a method, apparatus, equipment, and medium for deep peak shaving of thermal power units. Background Technology

[0002] With the vigorous development of new energy sources, in scenarios involving multi-energy complementarity of wind, solar, thermal, and energy storage, and high proportions of new energy, traditional peak-shaving methods for thermal power units still rely on single-boiler combustion adjustments. Furthermore, the coordination between the thermal storage system and the unit is poor, failing to integrate wind and solar frequency regulation with the rapid heat release capacity of thermal storage. Boilers alone cannot meet the grid's response requirements, and the instability of boiler combustion limits the flexibility of thermal power peak-shaving, resulting in limited peak-shaving capacity for existing thermal power units. In addition, the high penetration of new energy sources necessitates frequent deep peak-shaving for thermal power, leading to low-cycle fatigue of turbine rotors and excessive thermal stress in the steam drum, making components highly susceptible to fatigue damage and exacerbating losses. Moreover, existing technologies do not enhance stratified heat release and waste heat utilization from thermal storage, resulting in weak thermal storage coordination, a lack of lifespan compensation and wind / solar frequency regulation, and insufficient equipment safety and peak-shaving speed.

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a method, device, equipment and medium for deep peak shaving of thermal power units, which is applicable to deep peak shaving of coal-fired units in the scenarios of multi-energy complementarity of wind, solar, thermal and storage and new energy consumption.

These commands include boiler commands, turbine commands, and thermal storage commands. The bi-objective optimization function is an optimization model constructed based on the particle swarm optimization algorithm, with the objective of minimizing coal consumption costs and equipment lifespan losses. The constraints are the boundary conditions ensuring the safe and stable operation of the thermal power unit and thermal storage system.

Then, based on the constraints, the optimization objective function is optimized using multi-objective particle swarm optimization to obtain the thermal power unit command. The optimization objective function is:

[0061] minf=α·Ctotal (t)+β·d xh (t)+γ·△P dev (t)+δ·(1-η heat (t));

[0062] P boiler =P base +△P boiler_peak ;

[0079] Based on the boiler command, the thermal storage command, and the wind power frequency regulation standby load, the main steam parameters and the actual air distribution ratio are obtained through coordinated combustion control. The main steam parameters refer to the thermodynamic parameters of the steam supplied from the boiler to the turbine in a thermal power unit. The actual air distribution ratio refers to the proportion of primary air to the total air volume during boiler combustion.

[0080] In some embodiments, obtaining the main steam parameters and the actual air distribution ratio includes:

Furnace temperature refers to the temperature of the combustion zone inside the furnace of a thermal power unit boiler. The initial burner swing angle is the reference angle for burner swing angle control. The corrected burner swing angle is the actual operating angle of the burner after dynamic correction based on the initial burner swing angle and considering real-time furnace temperature deviation and system uncertainty. In some embodiments, the corrected swing angle can be determined based on the furnace temperature difference between the target furnace temperature and the current furnace temperature, and then the sum of the corrected swing angle and the initial burner swing angle is taken as the corrected burner swing angle.

[0085] The waste heat recovery calculation is performed on the boiler tail flue gas temperature and the aforementioned heat storage command to obtain the preheated primary air temperature. The preheated primary air temperature refers to the final temperature of the primary air after recovering waste heat from the boiler tail flue gas and correcting it with the heat storage command.

[0086] The actual wind power frequency regulation power is obtained by calculating the supplementary energy from the boiler's actual ramp rate and maximum ramp rate. The actual ramp rate refers to the actual load change rate achieved by the boiler per unit time during load adjustment. The maximum ramp rate is the upper limit of the boiler's designed load adjustment capacity, i.e., the maximum load change rate the boiler can achieve per unit time. The actual wind power frequency regulation power refers to the actual frequency regulation supplementary energy power invested by the wind power.
