Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of heating, and in particular relates to a device and method for quickly adjusting loads by using a long-distance heating pipe network. Background Art

[0002] At present, the heating capacity of centralized heating sources in a large number of cities in northern my country is limited and cannot meet the heating needs of cities. The heating gap is large. Enterprises and institutions in urban areas use their own boilers for production and heating. The heating method is decentralized boiler room heating, and the fuel is mainly coal, which causes energy waste and air pollution. In accordance with the spirit of the state to dismantle and integrate decentralized small coal-fired boiler rooms, relevant power plants must adopt practical technical means to improve the heating capacity of the units and complete the task of dismantling and integrating small coal-fired boiler rooms in the heating area.

[0003] Long-distance heating has the energy-saving effect of reducing urban environmental pollution and taking into account the comprehensive utilization of energy. Some large thermal power units need to achieve centralized heating through long-distance heating because their sites are far away from the urban area. Long-distance heating also faces the joint adjustment of thermal load and electric load in traditional cogeneration units. In traditional cogeneration units, when receiving a heat load or electric load adjustment instruction, the steam pressure and temperature of the load on the other side are generally kept unchanged, and the changes in electric load or heat load are adjusted by means of boilers and main steam flow. Existing long-distance heating projects in operation and long-distance heating projects under construction also achieve cogeneration of heat and power through the above method.

[0006] 2. The above regulation scheme mainly realizes the regulation of electric load or thermal load by controlling boiler combustion and steam parameters, and the regulation speed is relatively slow.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] The present invention provides a device and method for rapid load regulation using a long-distance heating pipeline network. When a cogeneration unit used for long-distance heating receives a command to increase or decrease the electric load or the thermal load, on the one hand, the load change is achieved based on the adjustment of conventional boiler combustion and water supply. On the other hand, the long-distance heating pipeline network is used to adjust the valve opening of the steam extraction pipeline or the connecting pipeline while increasing or decreasing the load, thereby assisting in increasing the load regulation speed.

[0030] The present invention provides a device for rapid load adjustment using a long-distance heating pipeline network, which mainly includes a heat source, an extraction steam heat exchange unit, a long-distance heating pipeline network and a heat user unit, wherein: the exhaust steam outlet of the heat source is connected to the air inlet of the extraction steam heat exchange unit, the return water inlet of the extraction steam heat exchange unit is connected to the return water outlet of the long-distance heating pipeline network, and the return water inlet of the long-distance heating pipeline network is connected to the return water outlet of the heat user unit; the water supply outlet of the extraction steam heat exchange unit is connected to the water supply inlet of the heat user unit through the long-distance heating pipeline network.

[0031] Specifically: the heat source includes two typical cogeneration units, the first is the first low-pressure cylinder zero-output unit, denoted as the first thermal power unit, the first thermal power unit includes a first condenser 1, a first feedwater pump 2, a first boiler 3, a steam turbine 4, and a first interconnecting pipe regulating valve 5, wherein the water outlet of the first condenser 1 is connected to the water inlet of the first boiler 3 through the first feedwater pump 2, the superheated steam outlet of the first boiler 3 is connected to the steam inlet of the steam turbine 4, the exhaust port of the steam turbine 4 is divided into three paths through the first extraction regulating valve 12, one path is connected to the first basic heater 16 through the first regulating valve 14, and the other path is connected to the second basic heater 17 through the second regulating valve 15; the last path is connected to the air inlet of the first condenser 1 through the first interconnecting pipe regulating valve 5.

[0032] The second type is the second perforated extraction unit, denoted as the second thermal power unit, which includes a second condenser 6, a second feedwater pump 7, a second boiler 8, a high-pressure steam turbine 9, a low-pressure steam turbine 10 and a high-low pressure connecting pipe regulating valve 11, wherein the water outlet of the second condenser 6 is connected to the water inlet of the second boiler 8 through the second feedwater pump 7, the superheated steam outlet of the second boiler 8 is connected to the steam inlet of the high-pressure steam turbine 9, and the exhaust outlet of the high-pressure steam turbine 9 is divided into two paths, one of which is connected to the steam inlet of the low-pressure steam turbine 10 through the high-low pressure connecting pipe regulating valve 11, and the exhaust outlet on the low-pressure steam turbine 10 is connected to the air inlet of the second condenser 6; the other path is connected to the steam inlet of the peak heater 18 through the second extraction regulating valve 13.

[0033] The circulating water outlets on the first basic heater 16 and the second basic heater 17 are both connected to the water inlet of the peak heater 18 , and the water outlet of the peak heater 18 is connected to the pressure isolation station 20 through the water supply pump 19 .

[0034] The return water outlet of the pressure isolation station 20 is connected to the water inlet of the first basic heater 16 and the water inlet of the second basic heater 17 through a return water pump.

[0035] The water supply outlet on the pressure isolation station 20 is connected to a plurality of thermal power stations 23 ; and the return water outlets of the plurality of thermal power stations 23 are connected to the return water inlet on the pressure isolation station 20 .

[0036] A bypass is provided between the water outlet of the water supply pump 19 and the return water outlet of the pressure isolation station 20 , and a bypass regulating valve 21 is provided on the bypass.

[0037] Working process of the present invention:

[0038] The exhaust steam of the steam turbine 4 in the first thermal power unit serves as a heat source for the first thermal power unit, and enters the first basic heater 16 and the second basic heater 17 through the first extraction regulating valve 12, wherein the first basic heater 16 and the second basic heater 17 are respectively provided with a first regulating valve 14 and a second regulating valve 15 in front of them for regulating the amount of steam entering the two basic heaters.

[0039] The exhaust steam of the high-pressure steam turbine 9 in the second thermal power unit is used as a heat source for heating the second thermal power unit and enters the peak heater 18 through the second steam extraction regulating valve 13 .

[0040] The circulating water of the long-distance heat transmission network first enters the first basic heater 16 and the second basic heater 17 through the return pump 22. After the temperature is initially increased, it enters the peak heater 18, and the temperature is further increased to meet the water supply temperature requirements of the long-distance pipeline network. Then, it enters the pressure isolation station 20 in the urban area through the water supply pump 19. A bypass pipe is arranged near the pressure isolation station, and a bypass regulating valve 21 is arranged on it for adjusting the amount of long-distance circulating water passing through the pressure isolation station 20.

[0041] After the circulating water of the urban primary network absorbs the heat of the circulating water of the long-distance pipeline network in the pressure isolation station, it enters the urban thermal power station 23 for urban heating.

[0042] For the first station, when the extraction parameters are constant, the steam extraction of the first thermal power unit, the steam extraction of the second thermal power unit and the long-distance heat network circulating water flow rate determine the final outlet temperature of the circulating water at the peak heater 18; the long-distance heat network circulating water flow rate determines the time for the long-distance heat network circulating water to reach the pressure isolation station 20 from the outlet of the peak heater 18. The greater the circulating water flow rate, the shorter the time required, and vice versa. Generally speaking, the temperature change of the circulating water at the first station of the heat network will take about 10 hours to be reflected in the pressure isolation station 20; the long-distance heat network circulating water flow rate and the outlet temperature of the circulating water flow rate at the peak heater 18 determine the heat storage capacity of the heat network; the heat absorbed by the urban primary network circulating water at the pressure isolation station 20 is mainly related to the temperature and flow of the long-distance heat network circulating water. Therefore, the steam extraction of the first thermal power unit, the steam extraction of the second thermal power unit and the long-distance heat network circulating water flow rate determine the heat absorbed by the urban primary network circulating water at the pressure isolation station 20 at a certain moment. When the electrical load of the unit changes, the load change can be achieved not only by adjusting the boiler, but also by adjusting the steam extraction volume of the first thermal power unit, the steam extraction volume of the second thermal power unit, and the circulating water flow rate of the long-distance heat transmission network, so as to further adjust the electrical load while ensuring that the urban primary network absorbs a certain amount of heat.

[0043] The following is a typical load regulation process:

[0044] When the unit is providing heat and power stably, and the heat load on the urban side does not change, the power grid requires the power plant to increase the power load. At this time, on the one hand, the combustion of the first boiler 3 and the second boiler 8 is enhanced, and the water supply of the first feedwater pump 2 and the second feedwater pump 7 is increased. On the other hand, the opening of the first regulating valve 14 and the second steam extraction regulating valve 13 is reduced, and the opening of the high-low pressure connecting valve 11 is increased, so as to quickly improve the working capacity of the steam turbine 4 and the high-pressure steam turbine 9 and the low-pressure steam turbine 10, and realize a rapid increase in the power load;

[0045] When the circulating water flow rate of the long-distance heat transmission network remains unchanged, the above operation will also cause the circulating water outlet temperature of the peak heater 18 to decrease. Taking into account the hysteresis of the long-distance heat transmission network, the circulating water of the long-distance heat transmission network with the temperature reduced will reach the pressure isolation station 20 after about 10 hours. At this time, the circulating water flow rate is further increased to enhance the heat exchange capacity in the pressure isolation station 20 to compensate for the decrease in heat exchange caused by the temperature reduction, until the circulating water outlet temperature reaches the normal design temperature, and then the circulating water flow rate is reduced to the normal design level.

[0046] Therefore, through the above-mentioned regulation scheme, it is possible to utilize the long-distance pipeline network's long-time lag characteristics and heat storage capacity to enable the unit to quickly respond to the regulation requirements of the electric load.

[0047] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0048] 1. In the process of adjusting the electrical load or thermal load, the unit load can be quickly adjusted by further adjusting the heating steam extraction valve and the turbine connecting valve.

[0049] 2. By changing the circulating water flow rate of the long-distance pipeline network in stages, the coupling of the changes in electric load and thermal load on different time scales can be achieved, thereby realizing the flexible adjustment of the electric load and thermal load of the cogeneration unit.

[0050] 3. By utilizing the long-distance pipeline network’s long-time lag characteristics and heat storage capacity, the unit-side heat source adjustment is first reflected in the system characteristics of the long-distance pipeline network, thereby avoiding direct impact on the heat load side.

[0051] This solution does not require that the steam pressure and temperature of the load on the other side remain unchanged during the adjustment of the electrical load or thermal load, and has relatively low control requirements for the boiler, steam flow, extraction valve and steam turbine connecting valve.

[0052] In addition to adjusting the electrical load or thermal load by controlling boiler combustion and steam parameters, this solution also adjusts the electrical load or thermal load of the unit by adjusting the steam extraction on the heating side, thus shortening the load adjustment time.

[0053] This solution further enhances the flexibility of the thermal power units themselves.
