The steam at the steam outlet of the heat accumulator station group 1 is divided into two paths. One path enters the steam distribution header 2 for entering the production pipe network for pressure regulation, and after meeting the steam usage requirements of the steam production pipe network, it is distributed to each production user. The other path passes through the steam-water separator 3 to separate the saturated steelmaking steam. The steam after steam-water separation enters the superheater 4 for superheating. The superheated steam is divided into two paths. One path enters the main steam inlet of the steam turbine, and the other path enters the supplementary steam inlet of the steam turbine.

[0022] As Figure 2 shown, the heat accumulator station group 1 is composed of a plurality of heat accumulator stations 7 connected in parallel. The steam inlet of each heat accumulator station 7 is connected to the steelmaking steam outlet pipe 9 through the heat accumulator station steam inlet pipe 8. Each heat accumulator station 7 is provided with a heat accumulator steam inlet valve group 10, and the steelmaking steam outlet pipe 9 is provided with a steelmaking steam outlet valve group 11.

[0023] The steam outlet of each heat accumulator station 7 is connected to the steam inlet of the steam distribution header 2 for entering the production pipe network through the production pipe network inlet pipe 12. One end of the production pipe network inlet pipe 12 connected to the heat accumulator station 1 is provided with a heat accumulator steam outlet valve group 13, and one end of the production pipe network inlet pipe 12 connected to the steam distribution header 2 for entering the production pipe network is provided with a production pipe network inlet valve group 14.

[0024] The accumulator station group 1 is connected to the steam inlet of the steam-water separator 3 through the steelmaking steam pipe network 15. An accumulator outlet flowmeter 16 is provided at one end of the steelmaking steam pipe network 15 connected to the accumulator station group 1.

[0028] A supplementary steam inlet valve group 24 and a supplementary steam inlet flowmeter 25 are sequentially provided on the supplementary steam inlet pipe 6.

[0029] The working principle of a waste heat utilization system for steelmaking steam power generation of the present utility model is as follows: The steam at the outlet of the accumulator station group is saturated steam with a pressure of 1.6 - 2.1 MPa. The pressure requirement for the main steam entering the sintering waste heat power generation is 1.6 - 1.9 MPa, and the temperature requirement is 330 - 360 °C. The pressure requirement for the supplementary steam entering the sintering waste heat power generation is 0.4 - 0.6 MPa, and the temperature requirement is 190 - 220 °C. After the steelmaking steam is stabilized by the accumulator, part of it is sent to the production system steam main pipe network through the desuperheating and pressure reducing valve group, and the other part is sent to the overheating furnace through the steelmaking steam pipe network (which is a different pipe network from the steam main pipe network). After the overheating furnace heats it to the sintering waste heat power generation main steam temperature of 330 - 360 °C using blast furnace gas, it enters the sintering waste heat power generation main steam or supplementary steam power generation according to the fluctuation of the steelmaking steam pressure. When the steelmaking steam reaches the overheating furnace inlet after overcoming the resistance losses of equipment such as the pipe network and the overheating furnace, if the pressure is controlled at 1.6 - 1.9 MPa, the steam at the outlet of the overheating furnace preferentially enters the main steam power generation. After the main steam is fully loaded for power generation, the remaining part of the steam enters the supplementary steam power generation after passing through the desuperheating and pressure reducing valve; when the steelmaking steam reaches the overheating furnace inlet after overcoming the resistance losses of equipment such as the pipe network and the overheating furnace, if the pressure is controlled below 1.6 MPa, the steam at the outlet of the overheating furnace directly becomes slightly superheated and then enters the supplementary steam power generation.

[0030] The utility model can superheat the steel-making steam with certain fluctuations in pressure and temperature through a superheater, and then the superheated steam can be used for high-efficiency power generation in the main steam of the sintering waste heat power generation system and also for supplementary steam power generation in the sintering waste heat power generation system, so that all of it can be converted into electric energy. At the same time, it can be combined with the sintering waste heat power generation system to make full use of the remaining load of the sintering waste heat power generation, saving costs and generating huge economic benefits. The utility model can control the pipeline pressure loss within 3 kilometers within 0.2 MPa; control the resistance loss of the superheater equipment within 0.1 MPa, and realize the power generation of the steel-making steam entering the main steam system of the sintering waste heat power generation. The utility model can share a waste heat power generation unit for the steel-making steam and the sintering waste heat steam, realizing investment savings, cost reduction and efficiency increase. After the steel-making discharged steam is used for waste heat power generation, the steam can be turned into condensate water for reuse, realizing the circular utilization of steam - condensate water - steam, reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
