Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of coal-fired power generation technology, in particular to a coal-fired unit peak shaving system with molten salt heat storage and an operation method to realize flexible operation of the unit. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the larger-scale development of new energy, the proportion of power generation is becoming higher and higher, and it is estimated that the proportion of new energy power generation will reach 40% by 2040. The clean energy consumption problem needs to be prepared in advance, and the coal-fired unit, especially the coal-fired unit, needs to dig the potential of flexible regulation and actively participate in flexible transformation to promote the consumption of clean energy in a larger range. Overall, the flexible market of thermal power has broad prospects. At present, it is crucial to improve the flexible operation capability of the coal-fired unit, that is, to improve the variable load rate of the unit to cope with the current complex operating environment, but due to the large inertia of the boiler, the superheated steam and reheated steam temperature of the unit is easy to exceed the maximum allowable temperature of the unit. In addition, during the variable load process of the unit, the flue gas temperature of the unit is easy to lose heat, resulting in a decrease in the power generation efficiency of the unit, and more seriously, causing safety accidents of the unit. At present, there is still no corresponding solution to meet the more excellent flexible operation capability and operation safety of the unit, and the problems to be solved are as follows: (1) when the unit is in the peak shaving process, the superheated steam temperature, reheated steam temperature and flue gas temperature of the unit need to be always within the reasonable operating range of the unit; (2) when the unit is in the process of rapid variable load operation, the coal-fired system and the heat storage system need to be reasonably operated to improve the variable load capacity of the coal-fired unit.

[0003] Therefore, in view of the above problems, scholars have proposed a coal-fired unit integrated with a heat storage system. A coal-fired power generation system coupled with steam energy storage and an operation method (application patent number 202210980571.0) has proposed using steam as a heat storage method for the unit, but in the operation process, the steam extracted from the coal-fired boiler is directly stored, which requires a storage device that can withstand high temperature and high pressure, increasing the overall equipment cost. Moreover, a coal-fired boiler flue gas and steam combined heat storage deep peak shaving system and operation method (patent number 202111066086.4) has proposed using reheated steam for heat storage to improve the variable load rate of the unit, but since the reheated steam is directly used to heat the feedwater after heating the molten salt heat storage medium, the reheated steam extraction heat storage capacity is not fully utilized, and therefore the unit still has room for improvement. SUMMARY

[0009] In the coal-fired system, a superheated steam flow divider F1 is arranged between a superheated steam outlet end of the coal-fired boiler 1 and a hot end inlet of the superheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger 13 and the high-pressure cylinder 2; a reheated steam flow divider F2 is arranged between a reheated steam outlet end of the coal-fired boiler 1 and a hot end inlet of the reheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger 14 and the medium-pressure cylinder 3; a second feedwater flow divider F5 is arranged between an outlet of the feedwater pump P2 and a cold end inlet of the high-pressure heater 7 and a cold end inlet of the high-temperature feedwater heat exchanger 10; a first feedwater flow divider F4 is arranged between the condensate pump P1 and a cold end inlet of the low-pressure heater 8 and a cold end inlet of the low-temperature feedwater heat exchanger 11; a first feedwater flow combiner M1 is arranged between the coal-fired boiler 1 and a cold end outlet of the high-pressure heater 7 and a cold end outlet of the high-temperature feedwater heat exchanger 10; a steam flow divider M3 is arranged between the high-pressure heater 7 and an extraction outlet of the medium-pressure cylinder 3 and the steam heat storage tank 15; a second feedwater flow combiner M2 is arranged between an inlet of the deaerator 6 and a cold end outlet of the low-pressure heater 8 and a cold end outlet of the low-temperature feedwater heat exchanger 11.

[0010] The molten salt shunt F3 is arranged between the outlet of the low-temperature molten salt pump P4 and the cold end inlet of the flue gas-molten salt heat exchanger 12, the cold end inlet of the superheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger 13 and the cold end inlet of the reheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger 14; the molten salt merger M5 is arranged between the inlet of the high-temperature molten salt tank 16 and the cold end outlet of the flue gas-molten salt heat exchanger 12, the cold end outlet of the superheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger 13 and the cold end outlet of the reheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger 14; and the steam merger M4 is arranged between the hot end outlet of the superheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger 13 and the hot end outlet of the reheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger 14.

[0012] The molten salt used in the heat storage system is a ternary mixed nitrate of 53% potassium nitrate, 40% sodium nitrite and 7% sodium nitrate, and the melting point of the molten salt is low, so that the molten salt is not prone to "frozen pipe phenomenon" in use.

[0013] In the operation system of the coal-fired power generating unit with flue gas and steam heat storage, when the coal-fired unit needs to operate at a reduced load, the ninth valve V9 and the tenth valve V10 of the steam outlet of the coal-fired boiler 1 can be adjusted respectively to control the flow of the molten salt heat storage medium flowing out of the low-temperature molten salt tank 17 and the steam extraction amount of the coal-fired boiler 1, so that the coal-fired unit can operate more flexibly to cope with the complex operation environment of the coal-fired unit, and the flue gas temperature of the coal-fired boiler 1 can be controlled to enable the coal-fired unit to operate safely and efficiently.

[0014] In the operation system of the coal-fired power generating unit with flue gas and steam heat storage, when the coal-fired unit operates at a reduced load, the superheated steam and the reheated steam are merged into the steam storage tank 15 after heating the molten salt heat storage medium, and when the load is increased, the steam in the steam storage tank 15 can replace the steam extracted from the high-pressure cylinder and the medium-pressure cylinder to heat the feed water, so that the power generation capacity of the coal-fired unit can be rapidly increased, and therefore the variable load rate of the unit can be improved.

[0015] The coal-fired boiler 1 uses a three-flue gas damper to adjust the temperature, and the flue gas-molten salt heat exchanger 12 can be arranged in the third flue, so that the flue gas heat storage can be more reasonably utilized during the peak shaving of the unit, and the flexibility of the coal-fired unit can be improved.

[0016] The operation method of the coal-fired unit peak shaving system with molten salt heat storage opens the first valve V1, the second valve V2 and the third valve V3, closes the fourth valve V4, the fifth valve V5, the sixth valve V6, the seventh valve V7, the eighth valve V8, the ninth valve V9 and the tenth valve V10, only operates the coal-fired system, and does not operate the heat storage system when the coal-fired unit is normally operated;

[0017] When the coal-fired unit needs to be operated at a reduced load, on the basis of normal operation of the coal-fired unit, the eighth valve V8, the ninth valve V9 and the tenth valve V10 are opened, the low-temperature molten salt heat storage medium in the low-temperature molten salt tank 17 flows out, and the flow of the outflowing molten salt heat storage medium can be adjusted by using the low-temperature molten salt pump P4, the outflowing molten salt heat storage medium enters the flue gas-molten salt heat exchanger 12, the superheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger 13 and the reheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger 14, respectively, the molten salt heat storage medium entering the flue gas-molten salt heat exchanger 12 is heated by the flue gas in the coal-fired boiler 1, the molten salt heat storage medium entering the superheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger 13 is heated by the superheated steam of the coal-fired boiler 1, the molten salt heat storage medium entering the reheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger 14 is heated by the reheated steam of the coal-fired boiler 1, and the molten salt heat storage medium all flows into the high-temperature molten salt tank 16 after being heated, and the superheated steam and the reheated steam all flow into the steam heat storage tank 15 for storage after being discharged.

[0018] When the coal-fired unit needs to be operated at a reduced load, on the basis of normal operation of the coal-fired unit, the eighth valve V8, the ninth valve V9 and the tenth valve V10 are opened, the low-temperature molten salt heat storage medium in the low-temperature molten salt tank 17 flows out, and the flow of the outflowing molten salt heat storage medium can be adjusted by using the low-temperature molten salt pump P4, the outflowing molten salt heat storage medium enters the flue gas-molten salt heat exchanger 12, the superheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger 13 and the reheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger 14, respectively, the molten salt heat storage medium entering the flue gas-molten salt heat exchanger 12 is heated by the flue gas in the coal-fired boiler 1, the molten salt heat storage medium entering the superheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger 13 is heated by the superheated steam of the coal-fired boiler 1, the molten salt heat storage medium entering the reheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger 14 is heated by the reheated steam of the coal-fired boiler 1, and the molten salt heat storage medium all flows into the high-temperature molten salt tank 16 after being heated, and the superheated steam and the reheated steam all flow into the steam heat storage tank 15 for storage after being discharged.

[0019] The advantage of the present application is that when the thermal power unit is in load reduction operation, the flue gas and steam can be used to heat the molten salt heat storage medium stored in the high-temperature molten salt tank 16 to realize heat storage, and the steam after heat release can also be stored in the steam heat storage tank 15, which can improve the load reduction rate of the unit, and control the flue gas temperature of the coal-fired boiler 1 to make the unit operate safely and efficiently. When the load is increased, the high-temperature molten salt heat storage medium in the high-temperature molten salt tank 16 can be used to heat the feed water to partially replace the high-pressure heater 7 and the low-pressure heater 8, thereby reducing the steam extraction amount of the cylinder, and in addition, the steam stored in the steam heat storage tank 15 is used to heat the feed water, which further reduces the steam extraction amount of the high-pressure cylinder and the medium-pressure cylinder, thereby greatly improving the load increasing rate of the coal-fired unit. In addition, storing the heated steam in the steam heat storage tank 15 can avoid using high-temperature and high-pressure storage equipment to reduce equipment cost.

[0020] Compared with other energy storage media, molten salt is a medium with low cost, long service life and good heat transfer and heat storage performance, and because the melting point of nitrate is low and the corrosion is small, the molten salt used in heat storage is usually a mixture of nitrates. In addition, compared with two-component mixed nitrates, three-component mixed nitrates (i.e. the composition is 53% potassium nitrate, 40% sodium nitrite and 7% sodium nitrate) can greatly reduce the melting point of the system and are not prone to "freezing pipe phenomenon" in use.

[0027] When the coal-fired unit needs to be operated at a reduced load, on the basis of the normal operation of the coal-fired unit, the eighth valve V8, the ninth valve V9 and the tenth valve V10 are opened, the low-temperature molten salt heat storage medium in the low-temperature molten salt tank 17 flows out, and the flow of the outflowing molten salt heat storage medium can be adjusted by using the low-temperature molten salt pump P4, the outflowing molten salt heat storage medium enters the flue gas-molten salt heat exchanger 12, the superheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger 13 and the reheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger 14 respectively, the molten salt heat storage medium entering the flue gas-molten salt heat exchanger 12 is heated by the flue gas in the coal-fired boiler 1, the molten salt heat storage medium entering the superheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger 13 is heated by the superheated steam of the coal-fired boiler 1, and the molten salt heat storage medium entering the reheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger 14 is heated by the reheated steam of the coal-fired boiler 1, the molten salt heat storage medium after being heated all flows into the high-temperature molten salt tank 16, and the superheated steam and the reheated steam after being discharged all flow into the steam heat storage tank 15 for storage.
