The first high pressure heater 321 is connected with the steam extraction end of the intermediate pressure cylinder 12; it can be known that the intermediate pressure cylinder 12 also has two steam extraction ends, one of which is connected with the first high pressure heater 321, and the other is connected with the input end of the deaerator 314; the output end of the intermediate pressure cylinder 12 is connected with the input end of the low pressure cylinder 13. In addition, in order to realize the control of the flow, the corresponding connecting pipeline can be provided with a regulating valve.

[0039] Further, the first steam extraction end of the high pressure cylinder 11 can also be connected with the reheated steam pipe 22 through a pipeline.

[0040] Further, in the present embodiment, the heating assembly 32 further comprises a low pressure heater 324, and the steam input end of the low pressure heater 324 is connected with one of the steam extraction ends of the low pressure cylinder 13 through a fifth steam pipe 5, so as to heat the water delivered in the water delivery assembly 31 by using the steam extracted from the low pressure cylinder 13.

[0042] It can be known that the delivery pipe 311 is provided with a plurality of delivery pipes 311 arranged in sequence from the exhaust steam end of the low-pressure cylinder 13 to the boiler 2, and the plurality of delivery pipes 311 are sequentially connected to the exhaust steam end of the low-pressure cylinder 13, the condenser 312, the condensate pump 313, the low-pressure heater 324, the deaerator 314, the feed water pump 315, the first high-pressure heater 321, the second high-pressure heater 322, the third high-pressure heater 323 and the boiler 2 to form a water feeding path of the boiler 2.

[0043] It can be known that the system in actual application is as follows:

[0044] The steam accumulator 40 stores and releases heat energy through the mutual conversion of steam and high-pressure water. Specifically:

[0045] When the unit needs to quickly reduce load, the second regulating valve 434 is adjusted to be opened, and the steam (main steam) generated by the main steam pipe 21 of the boiler 2 is divided into two paths, one of which enters the high-pressure cylinder 11 of the steam turbine 1 to do work, and the other of which enters the desuperheater 432 through the third check valve 433, and then the steam is desuperheated and depressurized to a preset temperature and a preset pressure state, and is delivered to the steam accumulator 40 for storage, thereby quickly reducing the steam amount entering the high-pressure cylinder 11 of the steam turbine 1, so as to quickly reduce the output power of the steam turbine 1.

[0046] When the unit needs to quickly increase load, the high-pressure water in the steam accumulator 40 is converted into steam, and the formed steam is also divided into two paths, one of which enters the reheated steam pipe 22 to be heated to superheated steam through the first steam pipe 411 and the first check valve 412, and then is delivered to the intermediate-pressure cylinder 12 of the steam turbine 1 to do work; the other of which sequentially passes through the second steam pipe 421, the second check valve 422, the third steam pipe 423 and the first regulating valve 424 to enter the corresponding high-pressure heater to heat the water delivered in the delivery pipe 311. Under the joint action of the two paths of steam, the steam amount of the high-pressure cylinder 11 and the intermediate-pressure cylinder 12 of the steam turbine 1 is quickly increased, so as to quickly increase the output power of the steam turbine 1.

[0047] It is worth mentioning that the water delivered in the delivery pipe 311 can come from the exhaust steam condensation of the low-pressure cylinder 13 or from external water supply.

[0049] When the unit is in load reduction, the main steam of the unit is delivered to the steam accumulator 40, and the main steam is converted into high-pressure water stored in the steam accumulator 40 to reduce the amount of steam entering the steam turbine 1 to do work;

[0050] When the unit is in load increase, the high-pressure water in the steam accumulator 40 is converted into steam to replace at least part of the extraction steam of the steam turbine 1 to supply the feedwater assembly 3 to preheat the water sent to the boiler 2 and increase the amount of steam entering the steam turbine 1 to do work.

[0051] Further, the method further comprises the following steps:

[0052] When the unit is in load increase, the high-pressure water in the steam accumulator 40 is converted into steam to replace the extraction steam of the feedwater assembly 3 from the high-pressure cylinder 11 of the steam turbine 1, or to replace the extraction steam of the heating assembly 32 from the low-pressure cylinder 13 of the steam turbine 1.

[0053] Further, when the unit is in load increase, the steam generated by the steam accumulator 40 is first used to replace the extraction steam of the feedwater assembly 3 from the high-pressure cylinder 11 of the steam turbine 1, and then used to replace the extraction steam of the reheating steam pipe 22 from the high-pressure cylinder 11 of the steam turbine 1; finally, the steam generated by the steam accumulator 40 is used to replace the extraction steam of the intermediate-pressure cylinder 12 of the steam turbine 1.

[0054] The method further comprises the following steps:

[0055] When the unit is in load reduction, the flow rate of the steam entering the steam accumulator 40 is changed to change the rate of load reduction of the unit. Specifically, the flow rate of the steam entering the steam accumulator 40 can be changed by adjusting the opening degree of the second regulating valve 434.

[0056] When the unit is in load increase, the flow rate of the steam delivered by the steam accumulator 40 to the heating assembly 32 and the reheating steam pipe 22 is changed to change the rate of load increase of the unit. Specifically, the flow rate of the steam delivered by the steam accumulator 40 to the heating assembly 32 and the reheating steam pipe 22 can be changed by adjusting the opening degrees of the first regulating valve 424 and the fourth regulating valve 413.

[0057] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present application. Any non-essential changes and replacements made by those skilled in the art based on the present application shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
