Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power generation, and in particular to a peak-shaving system of a dual-machine heat recovery unit coupled with a molten salt electric heater and an operation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] New energy sources, especially solar and wind energy, have brought new challenges to the safe and stable operation of the power grid due to their inherent volatility and uncertainty. Coal-fired power generation, as a key component to ensure national energy security, plays a core role in accepting renewable energy electricity and maintaining the balance of supply and demand in the power grid. In order to more effectively integrate more renewable resources and accelerate the achievement of the dual goals of "carbon emission peak" and "carbon neutrality", traditional coal-fired power generation facilities are changing from being mainly responsible for basic loads to a more flexible operating mode, which means that they need to frequently and deeply adjust the load and be in a state of variable load for a long time. Therefore, it will become a common operation for coal-fired power generation facilities to achieve deep peak regulation and flexible load adjustment. However, existing coal-fired power generation facilities are slow in peak regulation response speed and it is difficult to efficiently respond to rapidly changing load demands.
