Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of coal-fired power generation, and in particular relates to a heat supply and power generation system and an operation method for coupling molten salt heat storage to improve the flexibility of thermal power load. Background Art

[0002] In the context of vigorously promoting the development of renewable energy, the coal-fired power generation system has changed from the main power supply mode to the peak load mode, and the power market has higher requirements for the heat and power supply load boundary of the coal-fired system. As a device that can store and release energy for a long time, the thermal storage system has high operating efficiency and stability.

[0003] Since the boiler load change rate is limited and the operating stability is poor under low load conditions, the flexibility and load expansion capacity of the heating and power generation system are limited. Therefore, it is necessary to consider coupling energy storage equipment and transform the heating and power generation system. In coal-fired power plants equipped with heat storage systems, electric heating, main steam, reheated steam, intermediate stage extraction and flue gas heat are often used to heat the heat storage system to improve the flexibility and peak-shaving capacity of cogeneration. In response to these coupling methods, multiple studies have proposed different optimization measures, such as optimizing the extraction position, return water position and heat storage tank capacity to improve the thermal performance and economic benefits of the system. Studies have shown that by selecting the appropriate extraction position, using reheated steam extraction and returning steam to the low-pressure cylinder, the best economy can be achieved, while main steam extraction is superior in improving system flexibility. In addition, the optimal design of the heat storage tank size can effectively improve the annual efficiency of the system and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The performance comparison results of different thermal and electric decoupling schemes show that the heat storage tank decoupling method is the most effective in reducing the minimum load.

[0004] Although the existing thermal storage coupling methods have improved the flexibility of the heating and power generation system to a certain extent, these technologies still have some obvious disadvantages. First, although the electric heating method can provide rapid heating, its high energy consumption will lead to energy waste; second, the main steam extraction pressure is relatively high, and direct use for heating the thermal storage system will result in large heat losses; in addition, due to temperature restrictions, reheated steam and intermediate stage extraction can only store limited heat, and the use of flue gas heat requires the transformation of the existing boiler system, which requires a large investment. Therefore, these technologies are still limited in the maximum boundaries of expanding the heating and power supply load, and it is difficult to meet the needs of high load fluctuations and large-scale applications. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the defects or improvement needs of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a heat supply and power generation system and an operation method for coupling molten salt heat storage to improve the flexibility of thermal power load; when the coupled heat supply and power generation system reduces the power supply load, the reheated steam and the excess power not connected to the grid are used to heat the molten salt for synergistic heat storage, and the reheated cold section extraction steam is used to supply heat to the heat network, which effectively reduces the depth of the downward peak regulation of the coupled heat supply and power generation system, and can achieve zero power output of the power generation system under the condition that the boiler maintains the minimum operating load, thereby improving its load change rate. When the coupled heat supply and power generation system increases the power supply load, the high-temperature molten salt is divided into three parts by a diverter valve while keeping the boiler heat load unchanged, one part is used to increase the boiler feed water temperature, one part is used to produce the amount of superheated steam required to increase the power generation load, and the remaining part of the high-temperature molten salt is used to supply heat to the heat network, thereby improving the load increase rate and heating load of the coupled heat supply and power generation system. By coupling an innovative heat storage system that adopts a synergistic heat storage and synergistic heat release structure, the range of the thermal power load characteristics of the coupled heat supply and power generation system is significantly expanded, the load change rate of the coupled heat supply and power generation system is improved, and the flexibility of its heating and power supply is improved.

[0014] Another object of the present invention is to provide an operation method for improving the flexibility of thermal power load by coupling molten salt heat storage of a thermal power generation system based on the coupling molten salt heat storage to improve the flexibility of thermal power load, and the method is specifically as follows:

[0015] S1: When the electric load rate of the coupled heating and power generation system needs to remain unchanged, or its own variable load capacity can meet the load change requirements, and there is no need to store or release heat, and there is no need to provide heat for the heating system of the heating network, the coal-fired power generation system maintains its operating state and increases or decreases the water flow rate according to the load change requirements; the molten salt collaborative heat storage system does not store or release heat; the heating system of the heating network does not provide heat;

[0016] S2: When the electric load rate of the coupled heating and power generation system needs to remain unchanged, or its own variable load capacity can meet the load change requirements, and it is necessary to provide heat for the heating system of the heating network, the molten salt heating network loop is opened, the coal-fired power generation system maintains its operating state, and increases or decreases the water supply flow rate according to the load change requirements; the molten salt collaborative heat storage system does not store or release heat; in the heating system of the heating network, the molten salt at the outlet of the diverter valve (36) is adjusted to flow into the molten salt inlet of the molten salt heat exchanger (34) of the heating network, and the opening of the diverter valve (30) is adjusted to provide the molten salt mass flow rate required by the molten salt heat exchanger (34) of the heating network;

[0017] S3: When the coupled heating and power generation system needs to increase the power supply load and participate in the upward deep peak regulation, and does not need to provide heat for the heating system of the heating network, the heat release circuit of the heat storage system is opened. In the coal-fired power generation system, the opening of the diverter valve (14) is adjusted to increase the feed water temperature, and the opening of the diverter valve (16) is adjusted to heat part of the heated feed water into superheated steam through the high-temperature heat release preheater (27), the high-temperature heat release evaporator (28), and the high-temperature heat release superheater (29). At the same time, the feed water flow rate is increased to increase the power load rate of the coupled heating and power generation system, thereby realizing the improvement of the upward peak regulation depth of the coupled heating and power generation system. In the heat storage system, the molten salt at the outlet of the diverter valve (36) is adjusted to flow into the mixing valve (37). By adjusting the opening of the diverter valve (30), the feed water temperature at the outlet of the mixing valve (15) is adjusted to meet the working temperature requirements of the high-temperature heat release preheater (27), the high-temperature heat release evaporator (28), and the high-temperature heat release superheater (29); the heating system of the heating network does not provide heat.

[0018] S4: On this basis, when the heating system of the heating network changes its state and needs to be coupled to the heating power generation system to provide heat for it, the molten salt heat collection network loop is opened, and the molten salt at the outlet of the diverter valve (36) is adjusted to flow into the molten salt inlet of the molten salt heat exchanger (34) of the heating network, and the opening of the diverter valve (30) is adjusted to provide a molten salt mass flow rate required by the molten salt heat exchanger (34) of the heating network;

[0019] S5: When the coupled heating and power generation system needs to reduce the power supply load and participate in the downward deep peak regulation, and does not need to provide heat for the heating network heating system, the heat storage circuit of the heat storage system is opened. In the coal-fired power generation system, the opening of the diverter valve (18) is adjusted to reduce the power load rate of the coupled heating and power generation system; in the heat storage system, the power load rate of the coupled heating and power generation system is reduced by adjusting the electric heating power of the electric heater (22), so as to increase the downward peak regulation depth of the coupled heating and power generation system; the heating network heating system does not provide heat;

[0020] S6: On this basis, when the heating system of the heating network changes its state and needs to be coupled with the heating and power generation system to provide heat for it, the steam heating network circuit of the heating system of the heating network is opened, and the heating amount is adjusted by adjusting the opening of the diverter valve (4), while reducing the electric load rate of the coupled heating and power generation system.

[0021] Furthermore, the temperature of the low temperature tank is 295°C, and the temperature of the high temperature tank is 560°C.

[0022] Furthermore, the molten salt temperature at the outlet of the electric heater (21) and the electric heater (22) is 560°C.

[0023] Furthermore, in the heating network heating system, the mass flow rate of molten salt flowing through the heating network molten salt heat exchanger (34) is determined by the required mass flow rate of the heating network low-temperature water inlet (35), and the mass flow rate of steam flowing through the heating network steam heat exchanger (39) is determined by the required mass flow rate of the heating network low-temperature water inlet (38).

[0024] Furthermore, the total flow rate of the reheated steam diverted by the diverter valve (4) and the diverter valve (18) is limited by the minimum flow rate of the intermediate pressure cylinder (2) of the steam turbine and should not exceed 79% of the total flow rate of the reheated steam.

[0025] Furthermore, in the heat storage circuit of the molten salt collaborative heat storage system, the opening of the valve (26) is determined by the mass flow rate flowing through the heat storage heat exchanger (20) and the electric heating power of the electric heater (22).

[0026] Furthermore, the steam outlet temperature of the heat storage heat exchanger (20) should be kept the same as the steam outlet temperature of the intermediate pressure cylinder (5) of the steam turbine, and the temperature range is 339° C. to 354° C.

[0027] Furthermore, in the heat release circuit of the molten salt collaborative heat storage system, the opening degree of the valve (30) is determined by the mass flow rate flowing through the low-temperature heat release heat exchanger (31) and the high-temperature heat release superheater (29).

[0028] Furthermore, the maximum opening degree of the diverter valve (14) is 35%.

[0029] Furthermore, the temperature range of the steam at the outlet of the low-temperature heat release heat exchanger (31) is 224°C to 345°C.

[0030] In combination with the above technical solutions and the technical problems solved, the advantages and positive effects of the technical solutions to be protected by the present invention are as follows:

[0031] First, the present invention couples a heat storage system in a heating and power generation system. When the coupled heating and power generation system reduces the power supply load, the reheated steam and excess electricity not connected to the grid are used to heat the molten salt for collaborative heat storage. At the same time, the reheated cold section steam extraction is used to supply heat to the heat network, which effectively reduces the depth of downward peak regulation of the coupled heating and power generation system, and can achieve zero electric power output of the power generation system under the condition that the boiler maintains the lowest operating load, thereby improving its load change rate.

[0032] When the coupled heating and power generation system increases the power supply load, while keeping the boiler heat load unchanged, the high-temperature molten salt is divided into three parts by a diverter valve. One part is used to increase the boiler feed water temperature, one part is used to produce the increased amount of superheated steam required to increase the power generation load, and the remaining part of the high-temperature molten salt is used to supply heat to the heating network, thereby improving the load increase rate and heating load of the coupled heating and power generation system.

[0033] By coupling an innovative heat storage system with a synergistic heat storage and synergistic heat release structure, the range of thermal and electric load characteristics of the coupled heating and power generation system is significantly expanded, the load variation rate of the coupled heating and power generation system is improved, and the flexibility of its heating and power supply is enhanced.

[0034] Second, the technical solution of the present invention fills the technical gap in the industry at home and abroad: the present invention proposes an innovative coupling design of a heat storage system and a heating unit, which significantly improves the load regulation capability and flexibility of traditional coal-fired heating and power generation systems through coordinated heat storage and coordinated heat release structures.

[0035] Compared with existing technologies at home and abroad, this technical solution fills the following gaps:

[0036] 1. Expansion of load regulation range: For the first time, a technological breakthrough of zero electric power output of the heating and power generation system was achieved while the boiler maintained the minimum operating load, providing a new solution for deep peak regulation of the heating unit.

[0037] 2. Thermal energy utilization model with two-way collaborative optimization: A multi-path diversion strategy for molten salt heat is proposed, which not only optimizes the heat storage and release process, but also realizes the multifunctional coordination of power generation load increase, boiler feed water heating, and heat network heating.

[0038] Third, the technical solution of the present invention solves the technical problems that people have been eager to solve but have never been able to solve: the present invention provides the following effective solutions to the technical problems faced by traditional coal-fired heating and power generation systems, such as insufficient load regulation capacity and limited peak regulation depth:

[0039] 1. Breaking through the minimum load limit of boiler operation: Through the introduction and coordinated operation of the heat storage system, the unit can flexibly increase or decrease the load without changing the boiler heat load, solving the adjustment lag problem caused by the thermal inertia of the boiler in the traditional system.

[0040] 2. Achieve comprehensive optimization of thermal-electric decoupling: For a long time, the coupling of the cogeneration system has limited its peak-shaving flexibility. The present invention not only optimizes the dynamic process of thermal-electric decoupling through the deep coupling of heat storage technology, but also greatly expands the thermal-electric load characteristic range.

[0041] 3. Improve the load increase rate: The multi-path shunt design of high-temperature molten salt improves the ability of the power generation system to quickly respond to grid demand, which is difficult to achieve in traditional solutions.

[0042] Fourth, the technical solution of the present invention overcomes technical prejudice: the present invention breaks the technical boundary between traditional heat storage system and heat power generation system in the design process, and overcomes the prejudice of the industry against the following technical limitations:

[0043] 1. The concept that "heat storage system can only provide auxiliary peak regulation": The traditional view is that the heat storage system is mainly used for peak shaving and valley filling. However, the present invention, through the coordinated design of heat storage and heat release, makes it the core means of system load regulation. It is not only used to assist boiler operation, but also directly participates in the dynamic regulation of power generation and heat supply.

[0044] 2. Limitation of “molten salt is only used for one-way heat storage or release”: The present invention innovatively proposes a multi-path diversion strategy for molten salt, so that it can meet multiple thermal energy needs at the same time, realizing two-way optimization of heat storage and release.

[0054] The molten salt heating heating network circuit of the heating network heating system includes a heating network low-temperature water inlet 35, a heating network low-temperature water outlet 33, and a heating network molten salt heat exchanger 34; the molten salt inlet of the heating network molten salt heat exchanger 34 is connected to the outlet of the diverter valve 36, the molten salt outlet of the heating network molten salt heat exchanger 34 is connected to the inlet of the mixing valve 37, and the hot water inlet of the heating network molten salt heat exchanger 34 is connected to the low-temperature water inlet 35;

[0056] The coal-fired power generation system is the core of the heating and power generation system. The boiler 1 generates high-temperature and high-pressure steam. The steam enters the high-pressure cylinder 2, the medium-pressure cylinder 5 and the low-pressure cylinder 6 of the steam turbine to expand in sequence and drive the generator 7 to generate electricity. The main steam of the boiler enters the high-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine through the mixing valve 17. The steam extraction of the high-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine is used to heat the high-pressure heater 13. At the same time, part of the steam outlet enters the medium-pressure cylinder to complete the expansion. The steam extraction of the medium-pressure cylinder further heats the deaerator 11. The steam outlet of the low-pressure cylinder is connected to the condenser 8. After the steam is condensed into water, it is heated by the condensate pump 9 and the heater and then sent back to the boiler to complete the cycle.

[0057] The heat storage circuit achieves heat storage of molten salt through high-temperature heat storage tank 24 and low-temperature heat storage tank 25. The reheated steam from the boiler partially enters the heat storage heat exchanger 20 through the diverter valve 18, heats the low-temperature molten salt and stores it in the high-temperature heat storage tank 24. The heating of the molten salt can also be achieved through electric heaters 21 and 22 to utilize off-peak power resources. The steam outlet in the heat storage heat exchanger is connected to the mixing valve 19, and the steam that is not used for heat storage can directly enter the intermediate pressure cylinder of the steam turbine to complete the conventional power generation function.

[0058] The heat release circuit draws out molten salt from the high-temperature heat storage tank 24, and introduces the molten salt into the high-temperature heat release superheater 29, the high-temperature heat release evaporator 28, the high-temperature heat release preheater 27 and the low-temperature heat release heat exchanger 31 through the diverter valve 30, and uses the heat of the molten salt to heat the water working medium and generate steam. The generated high-temperature steam is sent to the high-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine through the mixing valve 17 to improve the power generation efficiency. At the same time, the low-temperature molten salt is collected into the low-temperature heat storage tank 25 through the mixing valve 32 to complete the heat release cycle.

[0059] The molten salt is divided into two paths through the diverter valve 36. One path enters the molten salt heat exchanger 34 of the heating network to heat the low-temperature water of the heating network, raise its temperature and transport it to the heat user. The molten salt after heat exchange returns to the low-temperature heat storage tank 25 through the mixer 37 to complete the closed-loop circulation of the molten salt. In this way, the system can flexibly adjust the heat-to-electricity ratio in different seasons to meet the heating demand.

[0060] The steam heating network loop guides part of the steam into the heating network steam heat exchanger 39 through the diverter valve 4 to provide heat for the low-temperature water. The condensed steam after heat exchange returns to the condenser 8 through the outlet, thereby maintaining the closed-loop operation of the steam. This process is mainly used to meet the high-efficiency heating demand during winter when the heating demand is high.

[0061] This system achieves flexible switching between power generation and heat supply through dynamic adjustment of the diverter valve and the mixing valve. Through the molten salt collaborative heat storage system, the system can store heat during low power load periods and release heat during peak periods, thereby improving the flexibility and comprehensive energy efficiency of the unit. Experimental data show that the system not only achieves thermal and electrical decoupling, but also effectively improves overall efficiency, reduces heating costs and grid pressure.

[0062] In summary, the heating and power generation system utilizes the high heat capacity characteristics of molten salt, combines coal-fired power generation and heating networks, and achieves a high degree of integration of heat storage, heat release, power generation and heat supply, meeting the needs of industrial and civil heating, while improving the operating economy and flexibility of the power plant.

[0063] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the electric energy source of the electric heater 21 and the electric heater 22 is the electricity that cannot be accessed to the grid during the deep peak regulation period of the coal-fired power generation system. The advantage is that it can effectively reduce the electric load rate of the coupled heating and power generation system, and even achieve zero electric power output, effectively expanding the electric load width of the coupled heating and power generation system.

[0064] Furthermore, the high-temperature heat storage tank 24 is filled with high-temperature molten salt, and the low-temperature heat storage tank 25 is filled with low-temperature molten salt. The advantage is that when the coupled heating and power generation system reduces the power supply load, the low-temperature molten salt is heated to high-temperature molten salt by the heat of the reheated steam for storage, and the excess electric energy is stored in the form of heat energy by electric heating, which can effectively reduce the minimum electric load rate of the coupled heating and power generation system, expand the peak-down depth of the coupled heating and power generation system, and achieve zero electric power output of the power generation system under the condition that the boiler maintains the minimum operating load, thereby improving its load change rate. When the coupled heating and power generation system increases the power supply load, while keeping the boiler heat load unchanged, the high-temperature molten salt is divided into three parts by a diverter valve, one part is used to increase the boiler feed water temperature, one part is used to produce the amount of superheated steam required to increase the power generation load, and the remaining part of the high-temperature molten salt is used to heat the heat network, thereby improving the load increase rate and heating load of the coupled heating and power generation system. By coupling an innovative heat storage system with a synergistic heat storage and synergistic heat release structure, the range of thermal and electric load characteristics of the coupled heating and power generation system is significantly expanded, the load variation rate of the coupled heating and power generation system is improved, and the flexibility of its heating and power supply is enhanced.

[0065] The coal-fired power generation system converts coal into high-temperature and high-pressure steam through boiler 1. The steam passes through the high-pressure cylinder 2, medium-pressure cylinder 5, and low-pressure cylinder 6 of the steam turbine in turn, driving the generator 7 to output electrical energy. After the steam completes the work energy, it is condensed into water through the condenser 8, and then passes through the condensate pump 9, low-pressure heater 10, deaerator 11 and feed water pump 12 to heat the water working medium and send it back to the boiler 1 to complete the cycle. Under normal operating conditions, the system adjusts the diverter valve 3, diverter valve 4 and other key valves according to the load demand to ensure power generation efficiency and system stability.

[0066] When the grid load is low or the coal-fired power generation system needs to reduce the power load to participate in downward peak regulation, the system opens the heat storage circuit of the molten salt collaborative heat storage system. The low-temperature molten salt flows from the low-temperature heat storage tank 25 into the diverter valve 26, and a part of it enters the heat storage heat exchanger 20, absorbs the heat from the reheated steam of the coal-fired power generation system, and enters the high-temperature heat storage tank 24 for storage after heating; the other part of the low-temperature molten salt flows through the electric heater 21 and the electric heater 22, and is heated to a high temperature by the excess electric energy of the coal-fired power generation system before being stored. This process can effectively utilize the electric energy that cannot be connected to the Internet and improve energy efficiency.

[0067] When the grid load is high or the system needs to participate in upward deep peak regulation, the heat release circuit of the molten salt cooperative heat storage system is turned on. The high-temperature molten salt flows out from the high-temperature heat storage tank 24, and after being regulated by the diverter valve 30, enters the high-temperature heat release preheater 27, high-temperature heat release evaporator 28, high-temperature heat release superheater 29 and other equipment, transfers heat to the feed water working fluid and generates high-quality superheated steam, which is sent to the turbine intermediate pressure cylinder 5 or the mixing valve 17 to improve the power supply capacity of the system.

[0068] When regional heating is required, the system transfers heat to the heating network through the heating network heating system. In the molten salt heating network loop, the high-temperature molten salt passes through the heating network molten salt heat exchanger 34 to heat the low-temperature hot water, and completes the heating cycle through the heating network low-temperature water inlet 35 and low-temperature water outlet 33; in the steam heating network loop, the reheated steam of the coal-fired power generation system passes through the heating network steam heat exchanger 39 to quickly heat the low-temperature hot water to meet the regional heating needs.

[0069] The system uses control elements such as diverter valve 14 and diverter valve 18 to flexibly adjust the distribution ratio of reheat steam to meet the different needs of power generation and heat supply. When the grid load demand is high, the power generation load is increased by increasing the feed water flow or increasing the heat release of molten salt; when the grid load demand is low, the excess heat is stored in the heat storage circuit to reduce the power output and realize flexible peak regulation of the system.

[0070] Through the molten salt heat storage and release system, the system can achieve efficient conversion and storage of thermal energy and electrical energy, and flexibly switch between power generation and heat supply. The molten salt heat storage system optimizes the operating parameters of the heat exchanger and valves, maintains the stability of the molten salt flow and temperature during the heat storage and release process, reduces heat loss, improves the operating efficiency of the entire system, and ensures reliability and economy under multiple working conditions.

[0071] like Figure 2 As shown, an operation method for coupling molten salt thermal storage to improve the flexibility of thermal power load is as follows:

[0072] S1: When the electric load rate of the coupled heating and power generation system needs to remain unchanged, or its own variable load capacity can meet the load change requirements, and there is no need to store or release heat, and there is no need to provide heat for the heating system of the heating network, the coal-fired power generation system maintains its operating state and increases or decreases the water flow rate according to the load change requirements; the molten salt collaborative heat storage system does not store or release heat; the heating system of the heating network does not provide heat;

[0073] S2: When the electric load rate of the coupled heating and power generation system needs to remain unchanged, or its own variable load capacity can meet the load change requirements, and it is necessary to provide heat for the heating system of the heating network, the molten salt heating network loop is opened, the coal-fired power generation system maintains its operating state, and increases or decreases the water supply flow rate according to the load change requirements; the molten salt collaborative heat storage system does not store or release heat; in the heating system of the heating network, the molten salt at the outlet of the diverter valve 36 is adjusted to flow into the molten salt inlet of the molten salt heat exchanger 34 of the heating network, and the opening of the diverter valve 30 is adjusted to provide the molten salt mass flow required by the molten salt heat exchanger 34 of the heating network;

[0074] S3: When the coupled heating and power generation system needs to increase the power supply load, participate in the upward deep peak regulation, and does not need to provide heat for the heating system of the heating network, the heat release circuit of the heat storage system is opened. In the coal-fired power generation system, the feed water temperature is increased by adjusting the opening of the diverter valve 14, and the opening of the diverter valve 16 is adjusted to heat part of the heated feed water to superheated steam through the high-temperature heat release preheater 27, the high-temperature heat release evaporator 28, and the high-temperature heat release superheater 29. At the same time, the feed water flow rate is increased to increase the electric load rate of the coupled heating and power generation system, so as to realize the improvement of the upward peak regulation depth of the coupled heating and power generation system; in the heat storage system, the molten salt at the outlet of the diverter valve 36 is adjusted to flow into the mixing valve 37, and the feed water temperature at the outlet of the mixing valve 15 is adjusted by adjusting the opening of the diverter valve 30, and the working temperature requirements of the high-temperature heat release preheater 27, the high-temperature heat release evaporator 28, and the high-temperature heat release superheater 29 are met; the heating system of the heating network does not provide heat;

[0075] S4: On this basis, when the heating system of the heating network changes its state and needs to be coupled to the heating power generation system to provide heat for it, the molten salt heat collection network loop is opened, and the molten salt at the outlet of the diverter valve 36 is adjusted to flow into the molten salt inlet of the molten salt heat exchanger 34 of the heating network, and the opening of the diverter valve 30 is adjusted to provide the molten salt mass flow required by the molten salt heat exchanger 34 of the heating network;

[0076] S5: When the coupled heating and power generation system needs to reduce the power supply load and participate in the downward deep peak regulation, and does not need to provide heat for the heating system of the heating network, the heat storage loop of the heat storage system is turned on. In the coal-fired power generation system, the electric load rate of the coupled heating and power generation system is reduced by adjusting the opening of the diverter valve 18; in the heat storage system, the electric load rate of the coupled heating and power generation system is reduced by adjusting the electric heating power of the electric heater 22, so as to improve the downward peak regulation depth of the coupled heating and power generation system; the heating system of the heating network does not provide heat;

[0077] S6: On this basis, when the heating network heating system changes its state and needs to be coupled with the heating and power generation system to provide heat for it, the steam heating network circuit of the heating network heating system is opened, and the heating amount is adjusted by adjusting the opening of the diverter valve 4, while reducing the electrical load rate of the coupled heating and power generation system.

[0079] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outlet molten salt temperature of the electric heater 21 and the electric heater 22 is 560°C.

[0080] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the heating network heating system, the mass flow rate of molten salt flowing through the heating network molten salt heat exchanger 34 is determined by the required mass flow rate of the heating network low-temperature water inlet 35, and the mass flow rate of steam flowing through the heating network steam heat exchanger 39 is determined by the required mass flow rate of the heating network low-temperature water inlet 38.

[0081] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the total reheat steam flow rate diverted by the diverter valve 4 and the diverter valve 18 is limited by the minimum flow rate of the turbine intermediate pressure cylinder 2 and should not exceed 79% of the total reheat steam flow rate.

[0082] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the heat storage circuit of the molten salt collaborative heat storage system, the opening of the valve 26 is determined by the mass flow rate flowing through the heat storage heat exchanger 20 and the electric heating power of the electric heater 22.

[0083] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the steam outlet temperature of the heat storage heat exchanger 20 should be kept the same as the steam outlet temperature of the intermediate pressure cylinder 5 of the steam turbine, and the temperature range is 339°C to 354°C.

[0084] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the heat release circuit of the molten salt collaborative heat storage system, the opening degree of the valve 30 is determined by the mass flow rate flowing through the low-temperature heat release heat exchanger 31 and the high-temperature heat release superheater 29 .

[0085] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the maximum opening degree of the diverter valve 14 is 35%.

[0086] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the temperature range of the steam at the outlet of the low-temperature heat release heat exchanger 31 is 224°C to 345°C.

[0087] In order to more intuitively illustrate the innovation and technical value of the technical solution of the present invention, a specific thermal power load interval comparison diagram is provided (see Figure 3 ).

[0088] exist Figure 3 In the figure, the original thermal load range of the 700MW subcritical coal-fired unit without the thermal storage system and the improved load range after coupling the patented solution of the present invention are shown. It can be seen that after adopting the patented solution of the present invention, the thermal load boundary of the system has been significantly expanded.

[0089] When the thermal load is at its maximum value, the upper limit of the electrical load is increased from the original 338MW to 744MW.

[0090] When the thermal load is maintained at the minimum value, the lower limit of the electrical load is reduced from the original 121MW to 0MW, achieving zero electrical power output.

[0091] Figure 3The advantages of the technical solution of the present invention in terms of load regulation flexibility are clearly explained: by coordinating the heat storage and release processes, the system can greatly adapt to the peak-shaving needs of the power system and the heating needs of the heat network while maintaining the stability of the boiler heat load.

[0092] This breakthrough performance improvement significantly overcomes the technical bottleneck of limited load regulation range of existing coal-fired units and provides an innovative solution for the flexibility transformation of coal-fired units.
