Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coal-fired power generation, and particularly relates to a coal-fired power generation unit coupled with steam energy storage and an operation method thereof to achieve deep peak shaving. Background Art

[0002] At present, due to the slow growth rate of power consumption in the power grid, the rapid increase in the installed capacity of the power grid, and the rapid increase in the proportion of renewable energy power generation in the power grid, the peak-valley difference of the load in the daily operation of the power grid is constantly increasing. As the main power generation source, thermal power plants need to bear huge peak shaving pressures to maintain the stability of the power grid. During the daily load dispatching process, the frequency and time of peak shaving with a load lower than 50% of the rated load are constantly increasing, and the operating load even needs to be reduced to 30% of the rated load in some periods. However, if the normal peak shaving method is used to switch to the "wet state" load reduction method, it will increase the operation volume of the power plant and require fuel injection to stabilize combustion, with great risks and poor economy.

[0003] Therefore, regarding the flexibility of coal-fired units, some scholars have proposed an external energy storage system for steam pressure and heat storage. The two patents, "A Coal-Fired Power Generation System with Heat Storage and Pressure Storage and an Operation Method Thereof" (application patent number 202211068265.6) and "A Coal-Fired Power Generation System Coupled with Steam Energy Storage and an Operation Method Thereof" (application patent number 202210980571.0), both use steam as the heat storage method for thermal power units. However, a large number of storage devices that can withstand high-temperature and high-pressure steam need to be added to the systems of the above two technologies. However, due to the high requirements of high-temperature and high-pressure steam for storage devices, the safety is low, and a large floor area is required. Moreover, "A Thermal Power Plant Energy Storage and Heat Supply System and Method for Energy Cascade Utilization" (application patent number 202111267192.9) proposes to input the high-parameter extraction steam and low-parameter extraction steam of the steam turbine into the same energy storage device for energy storage, which is not conducive to achieving the hierarchical utilization of energy, and the energy utilization rate of its system is low. How to further improve the external energy storage system is a huge challenge for the energy industry in China. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a coal-fired power generation unit coupled with steam energy storage and an operation method thereof, to achieve the hierarchical utilization of energy, improve the energy utilization rate of the system, and obtain a faster load increase rate, so that the unit can reach the target load faster.

[0015] Operation method of a coal-fired power generation unit coupled with steam energy storage. When the coal-fired power generation unit needs to start reducing load, first open the fourth valve V4, the sixth valve V6, and the eighth valve V8, and close the second valve V2, the ninth valve V9, the tenth valve V10, the eleventh valve V11, and the condensate pressure regulating valve V15. The reheated steam in the coal-fired boiler 1 exchanges heat with the molten salt flowing out of the first cold storage tank 13 through the reheated steam high-temperature heat exchanger 15. After absorbing heat, the molten salt flows into the superheated steam thermal energy storage tank 14. The reheated steam becomes saturated steam after releasing heat. Subsequently, the saturated steam continues to enter the reheated steam low-temperature heat exchanger 16 to exchange heat with the heat-conducting oil flowing out of the second cold storage tank 18. After absorbing heat, the heat-conducting oil flows into the saturated steam thermal energy storage tank 19, and the saturated steam becomes condensate after releasing heat and continues to flow into the condensate water tank 20. If the coal-fired power generation unit needs to continue reducing load, open the third valve V3, the fifth valve V5, and the seventh valve V7. The superheated steam in the coal-fired boiler 1 exchanges heat with the molten salt flowing out of the first cold storage tank 13 through the superheated steam high-temperature heat exchanger 12. After absorbing heat, the molten salt flows into the superheated steam thermal energy storage tank 14. The superheated steam becomes saturated steam after releasing heat. Subsequently, the saturated steam continues to enter the superheated steam low-temperature heat exchanger 17 to exchange heat with the heat-conducting oil flowing out of the second cold storage tank 18. After absorbing heat, the heat-conducting oil flows into the saturated steam thermal energy storage tank 19, and the saturated steam becomes condensate after releasing heat and continues to flow into the condensate water tank 20.

[0016] When the coal-fired power generation unit needs to start increasing load, open the tenth valve V10, the eleventh valve V11, the second valve V2, the ninth valve V9, and the fifteenth valve V15, and close the third valve V3, the fourth valve V4, the fifth valve V5, the sixth valve V6, the seventh valve V7, and the eighth valve V8. The molten salt flowing out of the superheated steam thermal energy storage tank 14 flows into the high-temperature feed water heat exchanger 8 through the first outlet pump P1 to heat the feed water flowing out of the deaerator 6. During the process of ensuring the stability of the feed water temperature, the extraction steam of the intermediate pressure cylinder 3 is reduced by adjusting the thirteenth valve V13. Subsequently, the heated feed water is mixed with the feed water heated by the high-pressure heater 7 at the first feed water mixer M1 and then enters the coal-fired boiler 1. The heat-conducting oil flowing out of the saturated steam thermal energy storage tank 19 flows into the low-temperature feed water heat exchanger 11 through the second outlet pump P2 to heat the feed water flowing out of the condenser 9. During the process of ensuring the stability of the feed water temperature, the extraction steam of the low-pressure cylinder 4 is reduced by adjusting the twelfth valve V12. Subsequently, the heated feed water is mixed with the feed water heated by the low-pressure heater 10 at the second feed water mixer M2 and then flows into the deaerator 6. The condensate water flowing out of the condensate water tank 20 is directly injected into the deaerator 6.

[0017] The advantages of the present invention are that the thermal power unit can respectively utilize molten salt and heat-conducting oil to store high-temperature heat energy and low-temperature heat energy during load reduction, and can utilize the high-temperature heat energy in the lava to reduce the extraction steam of the high-pressure cylinder and the low-temperature heat energy in the heat-conducting oil to reduce the extraction steam of the low-pressure cylinder during load increase, thereby realizing the cascade utilization of energy, improving the energy utilization rate of the system, and obtaining a faster load increase rate, enabling the unit to reach the target load faster. In addition, compared with directly storing high-temperature and high-pressure steam in the storage device, the high-temperature and high-pressure steam has high requirements for the storage device, low safety, and requires a large floor area. Utilizing lava and heat-conducting oil to respectively achieve heat storage in different temperature ranges can improve the safety and economy of the system. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0024] When the coal-fired power generation unit needs to start reducing the load, first open the fourth valve V4, the sixth valve V6, and the eighth valve V8, and close the second valve V2, the ninth valve V9, the tenth valve V10, the eleventh valve V11, and the condensate pressure regulating valve V15. The reheated steam in the coal-fired boiler 1 exchanges heat with the molten salt flowing out of the first cold storage tank 13 through the reheated steam high-temperature heat exchanger 15. After absorbing heat, the molten salt flows into the superheated steam thermal energy storage tank 14.

Therefore, during the process of ensuring the stability of the feed water temperature, the extraction of the intermediate pressure cylinder 3 can be reduced by adjusting the thirteenth valve V13. Subsequently, the heated feed water is mixed with the feed water heated by the high-pressure heater 7 at the feed water mixer M1 and then enters the coal-fired boiler 1.

Subsequently, the heated feed water is mixed with the feed water heated by the low-pressure heater 10 at the feed water mixer M2 and then flows into the deaerator 6. The condensate water flowing out of the condensate water tank 20 is directly injected into the deaerator 6.
