Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steam power generation and waste heat utilization, and in particular to a power station auxiliary steam power and heat cogeneration gradient utilization energy-saving system. Background Art

[0002] At present, people's pursuit of energy has become more economical and cost-effective. As a carrier of traditional energy, how to better utilize steam has become an important task and challenge. In many industries, in order to obtain stable thermal energy, people use steam as a heat source to heat other working fluids in the process for various productions. The thermal energy utilization of the steam system needs to be fully utilized step by step according to the energy grade, with high energy and high use, low energy and low use, and temperature and pressure matching. Energy cascade utilization, comprehensive utilization, and multiple heat utilization of steam, exhaust steam and condensed water. In order to more effectively utilize steam for heating in the production process, most companies have further improved their market competitiveness and energy conservation and emission reduction through equipment improvements.

[0003] The power stations usually mentioned include coal-fired power generation, gas turbine (combined) power generation, IGCC, solar thermal, nuclear power, waste incineration power plants and other power plants. In power plants, auxiliary steam (abbreviated as auxiliary steam) is often introduced to heat the medium required in the process. Auxiliary steam usually comes from the extraction of steam from the turbine or boiler system. Under many working conditions, the temperature of the heated medium is not high, such as water, air, etc., whose heating temperature is usually tens of degrees, and the highest is also around 100 degrees. The auxiliary steam is usually 200 to 300 degrees due to the extraction position and process, and the pressure is also high. Although the enthalpy of auxiliary steam heating is released, the pressure and temperature of the auxiliary steam are high, and its working capacity (exergy value) is not utilized, resulting in energy waste. This waste is usually called unreasonable energy utilization gradient. For example, in the primary and secondary air heaters in coal-fired units, the air is usually heated to 20 to 30 degrees, but the steam pressure is often 4-10 kg (absolute pressure) and 200 to 300 degrees. Under the same working conditions, the raw water of the raw water heater is usually heated to 20-30 degrees, but the extracted auxiliary steam also reaches 200-300 degrees, 4-10 kilograms. In power plants in northern China, auxiliary steam is usually used for heating in the plant, and the heating circulating water is usually only 80 degrees, but the auxiliary steam is also usually the aforementioned high temperature and high pressure (all from the steam extraction of the steam turbine). Similarly, in garbage power plants, the heating of leachate also uses the steam extraction of auxiliary boilers or steam turbines, called auxiliary steam, as a heat source for heating, but the heated temperature of the leachate is not high. For a long time, energy-saving research in industry for small flow, high parameter, and large gradient steam heating has not been well solved due to the influence of the price, adjustability, start-stop frequency of the power generation steam turbine system, and other factors such as the feasibility of exhaust steam heat exchange.

[0021] A power station auxiliary steam power and heat cogeneration gradient utilization energy-saving system, comprising: auxiliary steam, an auxiliary steam power generation system, exhaust steam, an exhaust steam heating system, and a condensate system. The auxiliary steam passes through a pipeline valve and enters the auxiliary steam power generation system. After generating electricity through a screw expansion generator in the auxiliary steam power generation system, it is discharged as exhaust steam. The exhaust steam enters the exhaust steam heating system. In the exhaust steam heating system, the exhaust steam passes through a condensing heat exchanger to heat the exhaust steam heating water, and the exhaust steam becomes condensate. After the exhaust steam heating water is heated, it enters the next process as a working medium. The condensate enters the condensate system. It is discharged to the next process through a water tank, a condensate pump, etc., and the heat of the condensate is exchanged with the condensate heating water before being discharged. Auxiliary steam is steam extracted from steam-producing and gas-using equipment such as a steam turbine or a boiler, and is used as an auxiliary machine. Auxiliary equipment in power stations usually refers to those generalized power station auxiliary equipment used for power generation. All power station supporting equipment except the three main machines are auxiliary equipment, including desulfurization and denitrification equipment, water treatment equipment, in-plant heating equipment, carbon capture system, etc. However, it does not include auxiliary equipment such as external steam and heat supply of the power station. The auxiliary steam power generation system includes screw expanders, generators and connecting accessories. Auxiliary steam passes through the pipeline and enters the screw expander to generate electricity or work, drives the screw expander, and connects to the motor through the accessories to drive the generator to generate electricity. After the auxiliary steam works, its temperature and pressure drop and is discharged from the exhaust port of the screw expander. The pressure and temperature of the exhaust steam meet the requirements of the subsequent exhaust steam heating system. The energy gradient between the auxiliary steam inlet and the auxiliary steam exhaust port is used to generate electricity. Here, exhaust steam refers to the steam discharged from the screw expander that has done work. The exhaust steam heat exchange system includes exhaust steam, exhaust steam heating water, exhaust steam pipeline, condensing heat exchanger, vacuum system, water inlet pipeline, and water outlet pipeline. The exhaust steam is discharged from the exhaust port of the screw expander. In the condensing heat exchanger, the exhaust steam condenses and releases heat, and becomes condensed water and discharged into the condensate tank. As a working medium, the exhaust steam heating water may be water that needs to be directly heated by the auxiliary machine, or it may be an intermediate medium, which is used as a medium to heat the working medium that needs to be heated by the auxiliary machine.

The condensate system includes a condensate inlet pipeline, a condensate tank, a liquid level gauge, a condensate pump, a vacuum pressure pipe or exhaust pipe, a condensate drain pipe, a condensate heat exchanger, condensate heating water, a condensate heating water inlet pipe, and a condensate heating water outlet pipe. The exhaust steam releases heat in the condensing heat exchanger and becomes condensate, and enters the condensate tank. A liquid level gauge is provided on the condensate tank to monitor the liquid level. A vacuum exhaust or exhaust system is provided on the top of the vacuum tank. A condensate pump is provided at the bottom to discharge the condensate to the next process through the condensate drain pipe. Optionally, before being discharged to the next process, the heat of the condensate can be used to exchange heat with the condensate heating water through the condensate heat exchanger to raise the temperature of the condensate heating water and send it to the next process.

[0022] The condensate heating water and the exhaust steam heating water can be the same medium, which is heated in series, or different mediums, which are heated separately. Alternatively, only one of the condensate heating water and the exhaust steam heating water can exist.

[0023] Furthermore, the screw expander is a traditional screw expander or a latest general screw expander.

[0024] Furthermore, the screw expanders can be used in parallel or in series, or in parallel and in series. When used in series, the exhaust steam (or high-pressure water) is multi-stage exhaust steam, which can be extracted for use in other processes as needed, and the rest enters the next stage of the screw expander for power generation.

[0025] Furthermore, the screw expander generator refers to the screw expander working to drive the generator to generate electricity. In practical applications, it is also possible to drive other equipment to work, such as driving a water pump and a fan to work.

[0026] Furthermore, the exhaust steam heating water and condensate heating water can be different working fluids, or the same working fluid heated in series. At the same time, they can also be other working fluids besides water, such as heat transfer oil, air, other fluids, etc.
