Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a solid-state electric heat storage device and a power plant coupling system, and in particular to a peak-shaving system of an external solid heat storage device coupled with a thermal power plant. The present invention is applied to the field of power generation of thermal power units. Background Art

[0002] In order to improve the cycle efficiency, thermal power units use heat extraction steam heating to increase the boiler feed water temperature and reduce the cold source loss in the condenser. The first and second laws of thermodynamics provide reasonable explanations, but heat extraction steam increases the steam consumption rate of the steam system, which leads to a reduction in power generation under the same boiler steam production, limits the power plant output during peak power consumption, and makes the flexibility of system operating condition adjustment worse. Under the background of "dual carbon", thermal power, as the ballast stone in the energy supply field, must undertake more frequent peak-shaving tasks for the large-scale grid connection of new energy, so the problem of improving the flexibility of thermal power units themselves to absorb renewable energy needs to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to improve the peak-shaving flexibility of thermal power units themselves to solve the problem of renewable energy consumption, and further provide a peak-shaving system of an external solid heat storage device coupled with a thermal power plant.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above problems is:

[0005] A peak load regulation system in which an external solid heat storage device is coupled with a thermal power plant, comprising a boiler, a steam turbine, a valve group, a three-way valve group and a group of solid electric heat storage devices;

[0006] The outlet of the steam turbine main feed water pipeline is connected to the inlet of the boiler, the steam outlet of the boiler is connected to the steam inlet of the steam turbine, the steam outlet of the steam turbine heat recovery extraction steam is connected to the main feed water pipeline of the steam turbine through a valve group, the three-way valve group is installed on the main feed water pipeline of the steam turbine, and a group of solid electric heat storage devices is connected to the main feed water pipeline of the steam turbine through an air-water heat exchanger.

[0007] The inlet and outlet ends of the water side of the air-water heat exchanger are connected to the main feed water pipeline of the steam turbine, the inlet end of the water side of the air-water heat exchanger is connected to the outlet end of the three-way valve group, and the flow rate of the water side of the air-water heat exchanger is controlled by the three-way valve group, the air inlet and outlet ends of the air side of the air-water heat exchanger are connected to the solid electric heat storage device, and the solid electric heat storage device exchanges heat with the main feed water pipeline of the steam turbine through the air-water heat exchanger.

[0008] Further, the valve group includes a first valve, a second valve, a third valve and a fourth valve;

[0009] The steam outlet of the steam turbine is connected to the heat recovery steam extraction pipe of the steam turbine through the first valve, the second valve, the third valve and the fourth valve respectively.

[0010] Further, the three-way valve group includes a first three-way valve and a second three-way valve;

[0011] An inlet end and an outlet end of the first three-way valve are connected to the main water supply pipeline, and the other outlet end of the first three-way valve is connected to the inlet end of the water side of the air-water heat exchanger, and the heat exchange work of the corresponding heat exchanger is controlled by the first three-way valve. An inlet end and an outlet end of the second three-way valve are connected to the main water supply pipeline, and the other outlet end of the second three-way valve is connected to the inlet end of the water side of the air-water heat exchanger, and the heat exchange work of the corresponding heat exchanger is controlled by the second three-way valve.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes two variable frequency fans, each of which is installed on the air duct of the solid electric heat storage device close to the solid electric heat storage device.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a deaerator, which is installed in the high-pressure and low-pressure water supply pipelines to perform thermal deoxidation.

[0014] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0015] 1. The present invention starts from the perspective of the Rankine cycle and the heat recovery cycle of the thermal power system, couples the heat recovery cycle with the solid electric heat storage device in single phase, and realizes the cascade utilization of heat energy at different times in the thermal power plant by introducing an external heat storage heat source, thereby improving the system efficiency and flexibility without changing the boiler capacity.

[0016] 2. The technical solution of the present invention is to couple the solid-state heat storage device with the heat recovery system of the thermal power plant to achieve flexible transformation of the thermal power unit. The heat recovery cycle of the unit in the valley and flat sections operates normally, and the excess electric energy is input into the solid electric heat storage device to achieve "valley filling"; during peak power consumption, the steam extraction and heat recovery steam turbine is no longer operated at full load, the power generation of the power plant is increased, and the heat in the heat storage body is input into the boiler feed water through the fan to meet the rated temperature requirement of the feed water and avoid overheating of the superheater. The temperature range of the hot air output by the solid storage equipment is 100-900℃, which meets the temperature requirement of the boiler feed water.

[0017] 3. The present invention realizes the hierarchical and stepped utilization of heat in time and space by installing an external solid electric heat storage device in the heat recovery cycle of the thermal power station, increases the consumption of new energy and valley-time power generation of the thermal power plant to achieve "valley filling", and improves the operating flexibility of the unit under the condition of minimal modification of the original power plant. The maximum power generation capacity of a 300MW power plant can be increased by 10%. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
