Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of generator set, in particular to a method, system and device for optimizing cold and warm state start of a generator set. BACKGROUND
[0002] A gas-steam combined cycle generator set is a circulating system composed of a gas turbine, a generator, a waste heat boiler and a steam turbine. It is a combined system in which high-temperature exhaust flue gas discharged after the gas turbine generates power is recovered and converted into steam by the waste heat boiler, and the steam is sent to the steam turbine to generate power. Common forms include single-shaft combined cycle in which the gas turbine and the steam turbine drive a generator coaxially, and multi-shaft combined cycle in which the gas turbine and the steam turbine are combined with a generator respectively. The gas-steam combined cycle generator set has the advantages of high thermal efficiency, clean and environmentally friendly, and rapid start and stop.
[0003] The start state of the gas-steam combined cycle generator set is generally divided into cold state, warm state and hot state according to the metal temperature of the steam turbine (at the high-pressure inlet). The start state determines the temperature rise rate and the time consumption of the start of the generator set. The time consumption of the cold state start is the longest, and the time consumption of the hot state start is the shortest. When the steam turbine enters the warm state, the waste heat boiler has been drained and the metal temperature has approached room temperature. Before the cold state start or the warm state start of the generator set, the boiler needs to be refilled with water. In order to ensure the quality of the steam turbine inlet, the boiler needs to be supplemented and flushed during the water filling process until the indicators are qualified. This process consumes a large amount of desalted water. Compared with the hot state start, the cylinder temperature of the steam turbine during the cold state start and the warm state start is much lower than the rated inlet temperature. The start process is a process of warming up the steam turbine and expanding the cylinder. The thick cylinder determines that this process cannot be too fast. In addition to the long time consumption and water consumption of the cold state start and the warm state start, there is also a large temperature difference between the upper and lower walls of the steam drum during the boiler temperature and pressure rising process, which threatens the safe operation of the steam drum. SUMMARY

[0016] S32: during the boiler temperature and pressure rise stage, when the economizer outlet water temperature is higher than the lower wall temperature of the drum, open the fixed exhaust and increase the drum water replacement.
[0017] Specifically, in the step S1, the low-pressure system, the medium-pressure system and the high-pressure system all adopt the water level flushing mode, and after the second high water level, the boiler water reaches the qualified standard, and then is heated at the bottom of the high-pressure drum.

[0030] Case 1: An optimization method for unit cold and warm state start, in the preparation stage, the steam turbine cylinder temperature is heated to 220℃ by using auxiliary steam, and the high-pressure drum water is heated to 95℃ by using auxiliary steam heating, comprising the following specific steps:
[0031] S1: Start the cold flushing of the waste heat boiler;
[0032] S11: The condenser hot well water flushes the condensate pipeline at a small flow rate and then enters the low-pressure system for flushing. In the case of condensate cooling, the warm-up operation of the auxiliary steam system is started, and the heat generated by the warm-up operation is just taken away by the condensate into the waste heat boiler;
[0033] S12: After the low-pressure system sees the water level, variable flow flushing is started, and auxiliary steam is introduced into the low-pressure system deaerator head to raise the high and medium pressure system feedwater temperature to 45℃;
[0034] The original cold flushing method requires the cooperation of laboratory personnel, and the main indicators of cold flushing are pH and iron. The measurement of iron in water requires nearly 30 minutes to obtain the results. Therefore, before optimization, the cold flushing of the waste heat boiler takes more than 14 hours, consumes 1400 tons of water, and requires laboratory personnel to participate in shift work, which is labor-intensive and costly.
[0035] After adopting the new flushing method, in the current power market operating environment, the waste heat boiler cold flushing process does not require laboratory personnel to be on duty continuously, but only needs to be tested and left behind when the start-up preparation is completed, reducing unnecessary labor costs.
[0036] S2: open the steam turbine cold start;
[0037] S21: in the preparation stage, the steam turbine cylinder temperature is heated to 220℃ by auxiliary steam;
[0038] S22: according to the warm state starting procedure, the main steam regulating valve is forced to open to heat the high pressure system valve body;
[0039] S3: control the wall temperature difference of the waste heat boiler drum;
[0040] S31: after the boiler is filled with water, the high pressure drum water is heated to 95℃ by auxiliary steam, and then the gas turbine is ignited, and the bypass valve opening is maintained at 80% to inhibit the high pressure drum pressure rise rate,
[0041] S32: in the boiler heating and pressure rising stage, when the economizer outlet water temperature is higher than the lower wall temperature of the drum, the fixed exhaust is opened, and the drum water exchange is increased.
[0042] Case two: an optimization method for cold and warm state starting of a unit, in the preparation stage, the steam turbine cylinder temperature is heated to 230℃ by auxiliary steam, and the high pressure drum water is heated to 110℃ by auxiliary steam heating, comprising the following specific steps:
[0043] S1: start the cold flushing of the waste heat boiler;
[0044] S11: the condenser hot well water flushes the condensate pipeline at a small flow rate, and then enters the low pressure system for flushing, and in the presence of condensate cooling, the warm pipe operation of the auxiliary steam system is started, and the heat generated by the warm pipe is just taken away by the condensate into the waste heat boiler;
[0045] S12: after the low pressure system sees the water level, variable flow flushing is started, and auxiliary steam is introduced into the low pressure system deaerator to raise the high and medium pressure system feedwater temperature to 50℃;
[0046] The original cold flushing method requires the cooperation of laboratory personnel, and the main indicators of cold flushing are pH and iron, and the measurement of iron in water needs to wait for nearly 30 minutes to get the result. Therefore, before optimization, the waste heat boiler cold flushing time is as long as 14 hours or more, the water consumption is 1400 tons, and the laboratory personnel need to participate in shift work during the flushing process, which is laborious and costly;
[0047] After adopting the new flushing method, in the current power market operating environment, the waste heat boiler cold flushing process does not require laboratory personnel to continuously work, and only needs to be tested and left at the completion of the starting preparation, reducing unnecessary labor costs.
[0048] S2: open the steam turbine cold start;
[0049] S21: In the start preparation stage, the steam turbine cylinder temperature is heated to 230℃ by auxiliary steam;
[0050] S22: The warm state start procedure is performed, and the main steam regulating valve is forcibly opened to heat the high pressure system valve body;
[0051] S3: Control the waste heat boiler drum wall temperature difference;
[0052] S31: After the boiler is filled with water, the high pressure drum water is heated to 110℃ by auxiliary steam, and then the gas turbine is ignited, and the bypass valve opening is maintained at 80% to inhibit the high pressure drum pressure rise rate,
[0053] S32: In the boiler temperature and pressure rise stage, when the economizer outlet water temperature is higher than the lower wall temperature of the drum, the fixed exhaust is opened, and the drum water replacement is increased.
[0054] The improved waste heat boiler cold flushing time is shortened from the original 14 hours to 6 hours, and the flushing water consumption is reduced from the original 1400t to 800t; The cold start time of more than 14 days is shortened from the original 7 hours to 4.5 hours, and the unit start-up cost is reduced by about 120,000 yuan each time, and the upper and lower wall temperature difference of the drum is basically controlled within 40℃.
[0055] Case three: The existing steam turbine high pressure cylinder metal is thick, and the temperature of the steam turbine high pressure inlet is low before starting, and the unit start-up time is long.
[0056] To solve the problem of long time of steam turbine high pressure cylinder cold start, the optimization method is proposed: before starting the steam turbine high pressure cylinder, the condenser maintains a high vacuum state, the high pressure main regulating valve is opened to 20%, the high pressure exhaust check valve is closed, the auxiliary steam enters from the steam turbine high pressure cylinder outlet, and is discharged from the steam turbine high pressure cylinder inlet, and then is discharged into the condenser after passing through the high pressure main regulating valve and the high pressure main steam valve and the drain valve.
[0057] In the case that the temperature of the steam turbine high pressure inlet is close to room temperature, the auxiliary steam is continuously introduced to heat the high pressure cylinder and the high pressure main regulating valve in reverse flow, which can increase the temperature of the steam turbine high pressure inlet by 17 to 245℃ -65℃, realize the preheating of the steam turbine high pressure cylinder before starting, and change the starting state of the steam turbine high pressure cylinder from the original cold state to the warm state, greatly shorten the starting time of the steam turbine high pressure cylinder and the steam turbine middle and low pressure cylinder.
[0058] Case four: Steam turbine in cold state needs to use steam to heat the cylinder and valve, so it needs nearly 7 hours of start-up time, by using auxiliary steam in the preparation stage to heat the steam turbine cylinder temperature to nearly 220-240 ℃, the cylinder temperature is nearly 80 ℃ higher than the standard temperature of cold start, in the process of starting, the warm-up process of the steam engine is omitted, and the time of the fixed speed is shortened by about 35 minutes. At the same time, the initial cylinder expansion ratio is nearly 9 mm larger than that of cold start, which greatly shortens the warm-up waiting time after the steam turbine is connected to the grid. In addition, by forcibly opening the main steam regulating valve, the high-pressure system valve body is heated, and the heated auxiliary steam is fully utilized to control the temperature difference of each metal in the starting process at the warm start level.
[0059] After adopting the new starting method, the unit "avoids cold start", the process of starting less thermal shock to the metal, greatly prolongs the service life of the unit, and improves the reliability of the equipment. At the same time, the starting time of the unit is shortened from 7 hours to 4.5 hours, and the starting cost can be reduced by about 120,000 yuan each time.
[0060] Case five: When the unit is started in cold state, the high-temperature flue gas discharged by the gas turbine enters the waste heat boiler after the gas turbine is started and ignited. As the pressure of the steam drum of the waste heat boiler rises, the temperature of the boiler water and steam also rises. The lower half of the steam drum is heated by the boiler water, and the upper half is heated by the steam. Because the heat release coefficient of steam condensation is much larger than that of boiler water, in the process of pressure rise, the wall temperature of the upper half of the steam drum is higher than that of the lower half. Thus, a temperature difference is formed between the upper and lower walls of the steam drum. In the past, during the cold and warm start process of the unit, the wall temperature difference of the steam drum was close to 90-120 ℃.
[0061] In view of the above phenomenon, the following control measures are developed through continuous exploration. First, after the boiler is filled with water, the auxiliary steam is used to heat the high-pressure steam drum water to about 90-120 ℃, and then the bypass valve is opened to 80% to suppress the pressure rise rate of the high-pressure steam drum after the gas turbine is ignited. In addition, during the boiler temperature and pressure rise stage, when the outlet water temperature of the economizer is higher than the lower wall temperature of the steam drum, the fixed exhaust is opened to increase the water exchange of the steam drum. During the boiler temperature and pressure rise stage, the water level of the steam drum is controlled at a low level.
[0062] After adopting the above control measures, the rising rate of the upper wall temperature of the steam drum is suppressed, the rising rate of the lower wall temperature of the steam drum is improved, and the wall temperature difference of the steam drum is effectively controlled. During the cold and warm start of the unit, the temperature difference between the upper and lower walls of the steam drum is basically controlled within 40 ℃, which greatly improves the safety of the steam drum operation.
[0063] In the above step S22, the heated auxiliary steam valve body is fully utilized for heating, so that the temperature difference of each metal in the starting process is controlled at the warm start level.
[0064] Case seven: a gas-steam combined cycle unit cold and warm state optimization system, comprising:
[0065] A waste heat boiler cold flushing module is used to flush the condenser hot well water into the low-pressure system after flushing the condensate water pipeline at a small flow rate, and when the low-pressure system reaches the water level, start the variable flow flushing and assist the steam into the low-pressure system deaerator head;
