Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air separation and thermal power peak regulation, and more specifically, to a system and a peak regulation method for supplying energy to an air separation device by using peak regulation electricity or peak regulation steam of a thermal power plant. Background Art

[0002] At present, my country's power system has abundant electricity production and capacity, and gas turbines, pumped storage, etc. can be used for peak regulation to solve the problem of power shortage. At present, there is a prominent contradiction between the peak regulation of the power grid and the flexibility of thermal power units, and the power grid's ability to absorb new energy such as wind power, photovoltaic power, hydropower and nuclear power is insufficient.

[0003] In the existing technology, the peak load regulation of thermal power plants has become a prominent contradiction in the operation of power grids. At present, the flexible peak load regulation transformation of domestic thermal power plants is aimed at winter heating units, while how to carry out summer peak load regulation is a difficult problem facing many thermal power plants. In order to meet the peak load regulation needs of the power grid, minimize the waste of energy during the peak load regulation process, and survive the fierce competition of power plants, it is imperative to carry out in-depth peak load regulation reforms.

[0004] On the other hand, large-scale air separation units are increasingly used in the steel, chemical and synthetic ammonia industries, and more and more new large-scale air separation unit projects are being implemented, and their energy consumption accounts for an increasing proportion of the total social energy consumption year by year.

[0005] Air separation equipment uses air as raw material and separates air through any of the three methods: cryogenic air separation, pressure swing adsorption or membrane separation. The most mature application is the cryogenic air separation method, which converts air into liquid through compression cycle deep freezing, and then gradually separates inert gases such as oxygen, nitrogen and argon from the liquid air through distillation.

[0006] At present, there are many types of air separation equipment produced in my country. There are devices for producing gaseous oxygen and gaseous nitrogen, such as oxygen generators; there are also devices for producing liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen. But in terms of its basic process, there are four main types, namely high pressure, medium pressure, high and low pressure and full low pressure process. In the early days, the production scale of air separation equipment in my country could only produce 20m 3 / h (oxygen) oxygen generator, the current large-scale air separation equipment has the ability to produce 20,000m 3 / h、30000m 3 / h and 50000m 3 / h (oxygen) capacity.

[0007] From the process flow, air separation equipment can be divided into 5 basic systems: Impurity purification system: mainly through air filters and molecular sieve absorbers and other devices to purify mechanical impurities, moisture, carbon dioxide, acetylene, etc. mixed in the air. Air cooling and liquefaction system: mainly composed of air compressors, heat exchangers, expanders and air throttle valves, etc., which play the role of deep freezing the air. Air distillation system: The main components are distillation towers (upper tower, lower tower), condenser evaporator, subcooler, liquid air and liquid nitrogen throttle valves; they play the role of separating various components in the air. Heating and blowing system: The purification system is regenerated by heating and blowing. Instrument control system: The entire process is controlled by various instruments. In summary, the high energy consumption of large-scale air separation units has become an important bottleneck hindering the development of the air separation industry.

[0059] Embodiment 2

[0060] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the peak load regulation system does not have a small steam turbine 6, but connects a generator to the air separation device to supply power to the air separation device.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, a peak-shaving system for an air separation device in a thermal power plant, the peak-shaving system includes a thermal power plant generator set, the thermal power plant generator set includes a coal-fired boiler 1, a large steam turbine 2, a generator 3 and its ancillary equipment, and a power plant centralized control system; the power plant centralized control system includes a peak-shaving control module; the peak-shaving control module is respectively connected to the thermal power generator set, the power grid 4 and the air separation device to receive the peak-shaving instructions from the power grid dispatching center, control the operation and stop of the air separation device, and meet the peak-shaving demand of the power grid 4 for the thermal power plant. When the thermal power plant generator set is in operation, the coal-fired boiler 1 operates and transmits steam to the large steam turbine 2, the large steam turbine 2 is driven by the high-temperature steam to do work, and drives the generator 3 to generate electricity, and the peak-shaving control module controls the generator 3 to supply electricity to the power grid 4 as required.

The air separation device can use the peak-shaving surplus electricity and peak-shaving surplus steam during the non-peak period of electricity consumption of the power plant, that is, the peak-shaving surplus electricity and peak-shaving surplus steam during the non-peak period of electricity consumption of the power plant are used to provide power for the air separation device.

[0069] Embodiment 4

[0070] like Figure 5 As shown, the overall structure of this embodiment is consistent with that of the third embodiment, and the working method and principle are the same, except that the air compressor 5 and the booster 8 are connected to the thermal power plant or the industrial park or industrial facilities adjacent to the power plant through pipelines. That is, the compressed air generated by the air compression process of the air compressor 5 and the booster 8 can be used as the industrial driving compressed air source for the thermal power plant (such as boiler air supply or instrument or pneumatic valve driving compressed air) or the nearby industrial park.
