Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of coupling control technology of energy storage system and coal-fired unit, and specifically relates to a control method for improving the steam temperature control effect of coal-fired unit by coupling a low-temperature energy storage system. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of low-carbon energy transition, my country's energy structure continues to optimize, with the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption gradually increasing. However, adjustments to the energy structure directly affect the safe and stable supply of electricity in my country. Non-fossil energy sources such as wind and solar power are characterized by intermittency and randomness. Effectively and economically absorbing these unpredictable new energy sources is crucial for maintaining the balance between power supply and demand. Coal-fired power units, as economically efficient and "controllable" power sources, will be in a state of variable load transients for extended periods. However, the significant fluctuations in the main and reheat steam temperatures during these transients reduce equipment lifespan and impact unit safety. Reducing parameter fluctuations during variable load transients and improving unit performance are key to enhancing operational safety. Using load coordination and matching control methods to reduce the load change rate of the boiler-turbine coordination system can effectively improve parameter control at the same load change rate, thereby enhancing the operational safety of coal-fired power units.
