Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of benefit calculation, and in particular to a comprehensive benefit calculation system for a thermal power plant based on fuel index differences. Background Art

[0002] In order to control the cost of power generation, many power plants currently try to buy low-cost low-quality coal, rather than high-priced high-quality coal close to the designed coal type. However, long-term use of low-quality coal will lead to a series of problems such as increased wear of boiler equipment, increased maintenance costs, increased number of four-tube explosions, and reduced equipment output. There is an optimal point between the coal procurement cost, boiler operation cost, and wear and tear maintenance cost, which makes the overall cost of the power plant the lowest. Therefore, studying the influence of coal quality on the overall cost of power plants and conducting quantitative analysis to find the most economical coal type is of great significance to coal procurement and economic operation of power plants.

[0003] In the existing technology, only the relationship between coal quality and comprehensive benefits is considered. Although the coal quality is constantly changed to achieve the best comprehensive benefits, during the trial process, the heating surface at the bottom of the boiler will gradually slag. As the slag becomes thicker and thicker, the heat transfer efficiency of the boiler will gradually decrease. In addition, in the existing technology, the slag treatment at the bottom of the boiler is not comprehensive enough, which indirectly leads to inaccurate results of fuel difference and comprehensive benefit calculation, and large errors. Summary of the invention

If the combustion effect under the current working conditions does not meet the actual situation, a judgment is made. When 20% < combustion efficiency < 50%, the coal intake amount is adjusted, otherwise re-test. After adjusting the coal intake amount, the judgment continues. When 20% < combustion efficiency < 60%, the air intake amount is adjusted, otherwise re-test. After adjusting the air intake amount, the judgment continues.

At the same time, the boiler quality monitoring module is used to test the wear of the boiler and observe the slagging condition of the heating surface at the bottom of the furnace. The slagging condition is determined by detecting the temperature of the heating surface at the bottom of the furnace, and the detected results are transmitted to the early warning unit to determine the slagging range and thickness. The monitoring visualization module is then used to display the data collected and sorted by the data unit in a visualized form, which is convenient for timely discovery of problems and decision-making. A three-dimensional coordinate system is established, and the heating surface at the bottom of the boiler is combined with the coordinate system. When detecting the slagging range, a three-dimensional slagging contour map is drawn. When detecting the slagging thickness, the more slagging there is, the more The thicker the mark, the darker the color. After each work is completed, it is necessary to detect and draw in order to record the scope and thickness of each new slagging, and display them in superposition in the coordinate system, and use different colors to represent different slagging each time. At the same time, the information obtained by the coal quality analysis module is used to mark the type of coal on the slagging contour. Therefore, after each work is completed, the slagging at the bottom of the boiler can be statistically analyzed. Combined with the type of coal used each time, it can be determined which type of coal has a small slagging range and thin thickness. Combined with the price of coal, it can be determined which type of coal has both a suitable price and low damage to the boiler. In this way, the relationship between the difference in coal indicators and the comprehensive benefits of the thermal power plant can be accurately calculated, so as to determine which plan makes the comprehensive cost of the thermal power plant the lowest.
