[0002] During the power generation process of thermal power condensing steam turbine generator sets, the exhaust steam of the turbine must be re-condensed through circulating water, condenser, cooling water tower or air cooler, air cooling tower to form condensate. After the pressure is increased by the condensate pump, it is heated by the low-pressure heater, deaerator and high-pressure heater of the steam turbine and then supplied to the boiler, which is then heated to form superheated steam and enters the steam turbine for operation.

[0012] The present invention is a high-efficiency steam turbine power generation system that utilizes heat pump equipment to extract heat from steam turbine exhaust for utilization. Compared with the existing steam turbine power generation system, it has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. The high-efficiency steam turbine power generation system of the present invention recycles 100% of the exhaust (exhaust steam) heat of the condensing steam turbine. Taking a 300,000-kilowatt wet cooling unit as an example, under the conditions of 75% load, 570 tons of exhaust per hour, 0.005 MPa of pressure, and 32 degrees of temperature, the latent heat of vaporization enthalpy of each kilogram of exhaust is about 2422.KJ / kg. The latent heat of vaporization of 570 tons of exhaust is equivalent to 47.19 tons of standard coal. That is to say, by fully recovering the exhaust steam vaporization latent heat of the steam turbine under this condition through this device, the condensate of the steam turbine is heated, and 47.19 tons of standard coal can be saved per hour. This part of coal carbon accounts for 52% of the coal consumption of the unit at full load power generation (calculated at 300 grams / kilowatt-hour). The amount of coal saved is huge. At the same time, due to the saving of coal, the corresponding unit exhaust volume is also greatly reduced, the corresponding fan consumption and the operating capacity of environmental protection equipment are also greatly reduced, and the environmental protection problems caused by the exhaust of the corresponding thermal power units are also greatly alleviated, which has a great role in promoting the country's carbon emission reduction work; for the wet cooling unit, since there is no need to use water tower cooling to cool the exhaust of the steam turbine, the cooling water consumption of about 600 tons per hour is eliminated, and there is no need to build a cooling water tower (air cooler, air cooling tower) and corresponding supporting measures when building a new condensing unit. This can greatly reduce the cost of the condensing steam turbine.

[0014] 2. The high-efficiency steam turbine power generation system of the present invention can eliminate the cooling water tower (or air cooler, air cooling tower) in the steam turbine auxiliary equipment and the corresponding design, equipment purchase, project construction land occupation, etc., thus reducing the huge engineering construction costs;

[0015] 3. The high-efficiency steam turbine power generation system of the present invention can significantly increase the condensate temperature and steam turbine vacuum of the operating unit, reduce the steam extraction volume of the steam turbine heat recovery extraction system, and improve the efficiency of the steam turbine generator set. It can reduce the huge coal consumption and the corresponding carbon dioxide emissions, and can soon fulfill the country's commitment to the world to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

[0016] 4. The input of cooling water towers (air coolers, air cooling towers) can be reduced for the units in operation, which can greatly reduce the evaporation of cooling water towers (taking the water tower of a 300,000-kilowatt unit per hour as an example, the escaped and scattered water can reach 600 tons), reduce the impact of the heat dissipation of the air-cooled unit on the ambient temperature, and the power consumption of the corresponding auxiliary equipment, save a huge amount of water resources, and significantly reduce the operating costs of the generator set.

[0017] 5. By using the high-efficiency steam turbine power generation system of the present invention, heat can be extracted from the exhaust gas of the steam turbine. Without major modifications to the steam turbine body, the city can be heated in winter and cooled in summer by adding heat exchangers, refrigerators and the existing urban heating network. The urban heating area can be greatly increased without increasing the steam turbine extraction volume. Power generation companies can obtain better heating and cooling benefits.

[0018] 6. Although the high-efficiency steam turbine power generation system of the present invention merely replaces the condenser in the existing steam turbine power generation system with a heat pump, it effectively integrates the heat pump into the steam turbine power generation system, and the above-mentioned effects brought about by it are unexpected.
