Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of thermal power unit heating retrofit technology, and particularly relates to a deep waste heat cascade utilization system for thermal power units based on a two-stage compression heat pump. Background Technology

[0002] A coal-fired power unit is a power generation facility that uses coal as its primary fuel. These units convert the heat energy generated from burning coal into electrical energy, supplying power to various sectors including industry, commerce, and homes. Coal-fired power units generate high-temperature, high-pressure heat energy by burning coal, typically within a boiler. This heat energy is used to heat water, producing high-temperature, high-pressure steam. The steam is then introduced into a steam turbine, whose high-speed rotation drives a connected generator rotor, generating electricity. Through the principle of electromagnetic induction, the rotor in the generator rotates in a magnetic field, generating an electric current, ultimately converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.

[0003] Coal-fired combined heat and power (CHP) units typically operate at base load, offering stable and reliable power output. Coal, as a relatively inexpensive and widely available fuel, contributes to the relatively low cost of power generation for coal-fired units. In many regions, the infrastructure for coal-fired power units is already in place, eliminating the need for large-scale new infrastructure construction. However, traditional coal-fired technologies have relatively low energy conversion efficiency, leading to energy waste. In some regions, coal-fired power units still primarily handle electricity while also fulfilling significant heat load demands, necessitating technological improvements and environmental protection measures to mitigate their negative impacts.

[0004] Two-stage compression heat pump technology has made some progress in the energy sector. This technology can achieve more efficient heat energy conversion and transfer through multi-stage compression and expansion, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency. However, integrating two-stage compression heat pump technology with thermal power units and waste heat cascade utilization systems requires consideration of how to coordinate and optimize different devices to achieve optimal overall heating performance, improve heating capacity, and reduce coal consumption for power generation. This is a problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] This invention aims to provide a deep waste heat cascade utilization system for thermal power units based on a two-stage compression heat pump. It establishes a flue gas waste heat recovery system using a two-stage electric compression heat pump coupled with a negative pressure flash tank. The two-stage electric compression heat pump divides the heat pump compression process into high and low pressure stages for staged compression of the working fluid, splitting the internal circulating working fluid into two paths. A working fluid heat exchange process is set in the middle to distinguish the waste heat recovery temperatures of the two paths. The low-temperature loop recovers low-temperature waste heat from the unit, and the medium-temperature loop recovers medium-temperature waste heat from the unit. Based on the principle of temperature matching and cascade utilization, various waste heat sources are utilized in a cascade manner, improving energy utilization and unit thermal efficiency. The negative pressure flash tank creates a negative pressure vacuum environment inside the tank, causing the desulfurization slurry to flash and cool down, generating some water vapor carrying a large amount of latent heat. This portion of water vapor does not contain desulfurization solvents and is equivalent to water vapor with low-grade waste heat formed after filtering the slurry. This portion of water vapor serves as the medium-temperature heat source for the heat pump, while the low-temperature heat source for the heat pump is the waste heat from the circulating water. The waste heat recovery system utilizes a two-stage compression heat pump to utilize the waste heat from the circulating water and flue gas at different temperatures in a cascaded manner. First, the waste heat from the cold end of the turbine is indirectly recovered in the low-temperature loop, and then the waste heat from the flue gas is indirectly recovered. At the same time, the power consumption of the heat pump compressor during the deep peak shaving period is provided by the power generation of the unit, which increases the heating capacity and the peak shaving depth, meets the technical requirements of flexible adjustment and energy saving and carbon reduction in the three-reform linkage requirements, can actively respond to the grid's deep peak shaving requirements, and at the same time meet the heating load demand while reducing the unit's coal consumption. This system utilizes the principle of negative pressure flash evaporation to cool the slurry, indirectly recovering waste heat from flue gas, thus increasing the depth of waste heat utilization, improving overall thermal efficiency and heating capacity, reducing coal consumption, and achieving energy conservation and carbon reduction. The two-stage compression heat pump sequentially utilizes the waste heat from circulating water and flue gas, adhering to the principles of temperature matching and tiered utilization to improve energy efficiency. Simultaneously, the two-stage compression process reduces compressor power consumption, increases the heat pump's COP, and enhances energy savings. This system allows for free allocation of heat and power loads, offering higher depth peak shaving, faster ramp-up, and heating capacity compared to conventional cogeneration units. It contributes to the stable operation of new power systems, offers good flexibility, and allows for significant space for renewable energy grid connection.

[0027] Furthermore, the coal-fired cogeneration unit consists of a boiler, high, medium and low pressure cylinders, a generator and auxiliary regeneration equipment. Its principle is the same as that of a conventional supercritical unit. The waste heat of the turbine exhaust cold end is recovered on the closed circulating water side of the condenser as low-temperature waste heat in the waste heat recovery unit. The bypass extraction steam pipe at the medium and low pressure connection pipe provides heating extraction steam for the heating network heater, which is used to perform peak heating of the heating network circulating water to ensure that it can meet the primary network water supply requirements.

[0028] Furthermore, the waste heat recovery unit consists of an electrically driven two-stage compression heat pump coupled with a negative pressure flash flue gas waste heat recovery unit. The principle of negative pressure flash flue gas waste heat recovery is based on the characteristic that the saturation temperature of water in the desulfurization slurry decreases with decreasing pressure. The desulfurization slurry is sprayed into a negative pressure vacuum flash tank for cooling and flash evaporation. The vacuum pump maintains the negative pressure inside the tank. Some of the water in the desulfurization slurry evaporates into water vapor carrying a large amount of low-grade heat energy. This water vapor enters the intermediate heat exchanger as the medium-temperature waste heat of the heat pump. The two-stage compression heat pump performs staged recovery of waste heat, among which the circulating water carrying the waste heat of the exhaust steam is the low-temperature waste heat. The two-stage compression heat pump divides the working fluid into two loops through staged compression. The medium-temperature loop first absorbs some heat from the low-temperature loop, and then indirectly recovers the waste heat contained in the flue gas through an intermediate heat exchanger. The low-temperature loop first transfers some heat to the medium-temperature loop, and then recovers the low-temperature waste heat of the circulating water in the evaporator. After being compressed by the low-pressure stage compressor, it is mixed with the working fluid of the medium-temperature loop and then compressed by the high-pressure stage compressor. Finally, it enters the condenser to condense and release heat to heat the circulating water of the heating network. The power supply of the heat pump compressor is the unit's power generation, which increases the heating capacity while reducing the unit's power generation, improving the system's operational flexibility and deep peak-shaving capability.

[0029] Furthermore, the circulating water of the heating network is heated sequentially by a heat pump and a heating network heater. The heat pump recovers waste heat from the cold end and flue gas as the basic heat source for the circulating water of the heating network, while the heating network heater uses heating steam extraction as the peak heat source for the circulating water of the heating network. The two complement each other and can freely allocate the proportion of heating amount of the heating network water. If the output of the heat pump is low, the amount of heating steam extraction is increased; if the amount of heating steam extraction is low, the power consumption of the heat pump is increased. The unit's heat and power load distribution has a high degree of freedom.

[0030] Furthermore, during the recovery of waste heat from flue gas, some water vapor in the flue gas condenses and is released. This water vapor is then purified by flash evaporation and enters the condensate tank. The water quality is relatively good and can be used as makeup water for the heating network circulation, reducing the amount of water needed for system makeup and lowering water consumption costs.

The resulting water is of good quality and can be used as makeup water for the heating network, reducing system makeup water volume and lowering water consumption costs. The two-stage compression heat pump sequentially utilizes the waste heat from the circulating water and flue gas, adhering to the principles of temperature matching and tiered utilization to improve energy efficiency.

This contributes to the stable operation of new power systems, provides good flexibility, and allows for significant space for renewable energy to be fed into the grid.

[0055] The specific operation method is as follows:

[0056] When the deep waste heat cascade utilization system of the thermal power unit based on the two-stage compression heat pump is put into operation, the boiler feedwater is heated and evaporated in boiler 1, becoming superheated steam, which enters the high-pressure cylinder 2 of the turbine to do work. The exhaust steam returns to boiler 1 for reheating and then enters the intermediate-pressure cylinder 3 of the turbine to do work. The exhaust steam is split into two paths in the intermediate-low pressure connecting pipe. One path enters the low-pressure cylinder 5 of the turbine through the steam butterfly valve 4 to do work, and the other path enters the heating network heater 16 through the check valve 13 to heat the heating network circulating water. The exhaust steam from the low-pressure cylinder 5 of the turbine enters the condenser 6 to transfer the waste heat of the exhaust steam to the circulating water. The condensate at the outlet of the condenser 6 is pressurized by the condensate pump 7 and sent to the low-pressure heater group 8 for heating, and then enters the deaerator 9 for deoxygenation. After being pressurized by the feedwater pump 10, it is then... The feedwater is fed into the high-pressure heater group 11 for heating, and then returns to the boiler 1 to complete the circulation. The high, medium and low pressure cylinders drive the generator 12 to generate electricity through the intermediate shaft. The return water of the heating network is pressurized by the heating network circulating water pump 14 and first passes through the heat pump condenser 15 for primary heating. Then it enters the heating network heater 16 and is heated to the supply water temperature by the heating extraction steam. Finally, it is supplied to the outside. The steam source of the heating network heater is the heating extraction steam extracted from the medium and low pressure connecting pipe bypass. The steam butterfly valve 4 is used to regulate the amount of heating extraction steam entering the heating network heater 16. The waste heat recovery unit is composed of an electrically driven two-stage compression heat pump and a negative pressure flash evaporation loop coupled together. The two-stage compression heat pump consists of a condenser 15, a first expansion valve 17, a working fluid heat exchanger 18, and an intermediate heat exchanger. The system consists of a compressor 19, a high-pressure stage compressor 20, a second expansion valve 21, an evaporator 22, and a low-pressure stage compressor 23. The internal working fluid is condensed and releases heat in the condenser 15 to heat the circulating water in the heating network. The outlet working fluid is split into two streams. One stream passes through the first expansion valve 17 to reduce pressure and temperature before entering the working fluid heat exchanger 18 to absorb heat from the other stream. It then enters the intermediate heat exchanger 19 to absorb waste heat from the flash steam in the negative pressure flash loop and mixes with the other stream of working fluid. The other stream of working fluid first transfers heat to the medium-temperature loop working fluid through the working fluid heat exchanger 18, then reduces pressure and temperature through the second expansion valve 21 before entering the evaporator 22 to evaporate and absorb waste heat from the circulating water. It is then compressed by the low-pressure stage compressor 23 and mixed with the medium-temperature loop working fluid before being sent together to the high-pressure stage compressor. After compression, the slurry is sent to the condenser 15 to complete the cycle. In the negative pressure flash evaporation loop, the desulfurization slurry is first sprayed into the negative pressure flash evaporation tank 28 by the desulfurization slurry spray pump 31 for flash evaporation and cooling. The cooled slurry is sent back to the desulfurization tower by the desulfurization slurry return pump 32 to spray and cool the flue gas. The negative pressure vacuum pump 30 is used to maintain the negative pressure vacuum in the tank. The flash steam enters the intermediate heat exchanger 19 through the check valve 29 to extract residual heat and condense. The flash condensate is drawn out by the flash condensate pump 24 and sent back to the negative pressure flash evaporation tank 28 through the first electric regulating valve 25. When the liquid level in the tank is too high, the opening of the first electric regulating valve 25 and the second electric regulating valve 26 is adjusted to increase the amount of condensate entering the flash steam condensate tank 27, thereby achieving dynamic water balance.

[0057] A coal-fired cogeneration unit consists of a boiler, high, medium, and low pressure cylinders, a generator, and auxiliary regenerative equipment. Its operating principle is the same as that of a conventional supercritical unit. Waste heat from the turbine exhaust steam is recovered on the closed-loop circulating water side of the condenser as low-temperature waste heat in the waste heat recovery unit. Heating extraction steam is provided to the heating network heaters via a bypass extraction pipe at the medium and low pressure interconnection pipe, used for peak heating of the heating network circulating water to ensure it meets the primary network water supply requirements. The waste heat recovery unit consists of an electrically driven two-stage compression heat pump coupled with negative pressure flash flue gas. The waste heat recovery unit consists of a negative pressure flash evaporation flue gas system. The principle of waste heat recovery utilizes the characteristic that the saturation temperature of water in the desulfurization slurry decreases with decreasing pressure. The desulfurization slurry is sprayed into a negative pressure vacuum flash tank for cooling and flash evaporation. A vacuum pump maintains the negative pressure inside the tank. Part of the water in the desulfurization slurry evaporates into water vapor carrying a large amount of low-grade heat energy. This water vapor enters the intermediate heat exchanger as the medium-temperature waste heat for the heat pump. The two-stage compression heat pump performs staged recovery of the waste heat, with the circulating water carrying the waste steam heat being low-grade waste heat. The two-stage compression heat pump utilizes staged compression to divide the working fluid into two loops. The intermediate-temperature loop first absorbs some heat from the low-temperature loop, then indirectly recovers the waste heat contained in the flue gas via an intermediate heat exchanger. The low-temperature loop first transfers some heat to the intermediate-temperature loop, then recovers the low-temperature waste heat from the circulating water in the evaporator. After being compressed by the low-pressure stage compressor, it mixes with the working fluid from the intermediate-temperature loop, is compressed by the high-pressure stage compressor, and then enters the condenser where it condenses and releases heat to heat the circulating water in the heating network. The power supply for the heat pump compressor is the unit's electricity generation. This increases heating capacity while reducing unit power generation, improving system operational flexibility and deep peak-shaving capability. The circulating water in the heating network is heated sequentially by a heat pump and a heating network heater. The heat pump recovers waste heat from the cold end and flue gas as the basic heat source for the circulating water, while the heating network heater uses heating steam extraction as the peak heat source for the circulating water. The two complement each other, allowing for free allocation of the proportion of heating water to be heated. If the heat pump output is low, the heating steam extraction rate is increased; if the heating steam extraction rate is low, the heat pump power consumption is increased. This results in a high degree of freedom in the allocation of the unit's thermal and electrical loads.
