[0056] The exhaust steam from the low-pressure turbine 4 enters the direct air-cooling system 5 and flows inside the air-cooled radiator 5-1. Outside the air-cooled radiator 5-1 is air. The rotation of the air-cooled fan 5-2 causes the air to flow upward and pass outside the air-cooled radiator 5-1. The air-cooled radiator 5-1 completes forced convection heat transfer, causing the exhaust steam from the low-pressure turbine 4 to condense into condensate.

[0057] One embodiment of the present invention discloses an operation method for a direct air-cooled cogeneration system that couples a back-pressure turbine and a thermotropic thermal storage tank. The operation method is as follows: the unit is an extraction condensing unit. The extraction steam for heating is connected to the intermediate-low pressure cylinder in the pipeline between the intermediate-pressure turbine 3 and the low-pressure turbine 4. The extraction steam for heating first does work in the back-pressure turbine 16. The exhaust steam from the back-pressure turbine 16 can enter the second heat network heater 13 to heat the heat network return water, or the heat from the exhaust steam from the back-pressure turbine 16 can be stored in the thermotropic thermal storage tank 14.

[0058] The heating process of exhaust steam from low-pressure turbine 4 and exhaust steam from back compressor 16 is referred to as Operation Method 1: Open the first control valve 18, the seventh control valve 24, and the ninth control valve 26, and close the second control valve 19, the third control valve 20, the fourth control valve 21, the fifth control valve 22, the sixth control valve 23, the eighth control valve 25, and the tenth control valve 26. Part of the exhaust steam from low-pressure turbine 4 enters the first heating network heater 12 as a heat source to heat the heating network return water, and the other part enters the direct air-cooling system 5. The exhaust steam from back compressor 16 enters the second heating network heater 13 as a heat source to reheat the heating network return water to meet the heating demand.

[0059] The heat storage process of storing the exhaust heat of the back pressure turbine 16 into the inclined temperature layer heat storage tank 14 is referred to as Operation Method Two: Open the first control valve 18, the second control valve 19, and the sixth control valve 23, and close the third control valve 20, the fourth control valve 21, the fifth control valve 22, the seventh control valve 24, the eighth control valve 25, the ninth control valve 26, and the tenth control valve 27. The exhaust steam of the heating extraction turbine 16 after doing work enters the upper layer of the inclined temperature layer heat storage tank 14, and part of the cold water in the lower layer of the inclined temperature layer heat storage tank 14 is discharged and merged into the condensate system.

[0060] Operating methods one and two are performed simultaneously, and this is set as operating method three. The first control valve 18, the second control valve 19, the sixth control valve 23, the seventh control valve 24, and the ninth control valve 26 are opened, while the third control valve 20, the fourth control valve 21, the fifth control valve 22, the eighth control valve 25, and the tenth control valve 27 are closed. The extracted steam for heating first performs work in the back compressor 16, and then the exhaust steam from the low-pressure turbine 4 and part of the exhaust steam from the back compressor 16 are used to meet the external heating demand. At the same time, part of the heat from the exhaust steam from the back compressor 16 is stored in the inclined temperature layer heat storage tank 14. The flow rate of the extracted steam for heating can be adjusted by adjusting the opening of the first control valve 18, thereby adjusting the power generation of the main turbine generator 11, improving the deep peak shaving capability of the unit, and enhancing the operational flexibility of the unit.

[0061] The process of releasing heat from the thermocline thermal storage tank 14 for heating (hereinafter referred to as Operation Method Four) is as follows: Open the third control valve 20, the fifth control valve 22, and the eighth control valve 25, and close the first control valve 18, the second control valve 19, the fourth control valve 21, the sixth control valve 23, the seventh control valve 24, the ninth control valve 26, and the tenth control valve 27. Then, the hot-side working fluid outlet of the thermocline thermal storage tank 14 flows into the hot-side working fluid inlet of the second heating network heater 13 through the third control valve 20. After releasing heat, it passes through the eighth control valve 25 and the fifth control valve 22, and then flows into the cold-side working fluid inlet of the thermocline thermal storage tank 14, where it meets the external heating demand together with the exhaust steam from the low-pressure steam turbine. At this time, the return water of the heating network is heated by the exhaust steam from the low-pressure steam turbine in the first heating network heater 12, and then heated by the hot-side working fluid of the thermocline thermal storage tank 14 in the second heating network heater 13 to supply water to the heating network.

[0062] The process of releasing heat from the thermocline thermal storage tank 14 to heat the bypass condensate (hereinafter referred to as Operation Method Five) is as follows: Open the fourth control valve 21, the fifth control valve 22, and the tenth control valve 27, and close the first control valve 18, the second control valve 19, the third control valve 20, the sixth control valve 23, the seventh control valve 24, the eighth control valve 25, and the ninth control valve 26. Then, the hot-side working fluid of the thermocline thermal storage tank 14 flows into the hot-side working fluid inlet of the bypass condensate heater 15 through the fourth control valve 21. After heating the bypass condensate in the bypass condensate heater 15, it flows back into the cold-side working fluid inlet of the thermocline thermal storage tank 14 through the fifth control valve 22.

[0063] When operating methods four and five are performed simultaneously, it is set as operating method six. The specific process is as follows: open the third control valve 20, the fourth control valve 21, the fifth control valve 22, the eighth control valve 25, and the tenth control valve 27, and close the first control valve 18, the second control valve 19, the sixth control valve 23, the seventh control valve 24, and the ninth control valve 26. Then, the heat from the inclined thermal storage tank 14 is used to heat the bypass condensate in the bypass condensate heater 13, and also to release heat in the second heat network heater 13. Together with the exhaust steam from the low-pressure steam turbine, it meets the external heating demand, reduces the steam extraction flow for heating and the steam extraction flow required by the low-pressure heater 7, so that the unit load can be increased quickly and the frequency regulation capability of the unit is improved.

[0064] The extracted steam for heating first passes through the back-compressor 16 to perform work before being used for heating or stored in the inclined thermostatic storage tank 14, which conforms to the principle of energy cascade utilization and energy level matching. The exhaust steam from the low-pressure turbine 4 is used to heat the return water of the heating network first, and then the exhaust steam from the back-compressor 16 or the heat from the inclined thermostatic storage tank 14 is used to heat the return water of the heating network again. This can meet the heating demand using lower-quality energy, improve the energy utilization rate of the unit, and reduce the exhaust steam entering the direct air-cooling system 13, thereby reducing the power consumption of the air-cooled fan 5-2 and lowering the plant power consumption rate. When processes 1 and 2 occur simultaneously, the deep peak-shaving capability of the unit is enhanced, and the operational flexibility of the unit is improved. When processes 3 and 4 occur simultaneously, the load of the unit can be rapidly increased, which enhances the frequency regulation capability of the unit. The coupling of multiple processes such as heating, heat storage and heat release increases the peak-shaving and frequency regulation capability of the unit, improving the operational flexibility of the unit while meeting the heating demand.

[0065] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
