Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coal-fired power generation, and specifically to a multi-objective optimization planning method and system for deep peak shaving transformation of thermal power units. Background Art

[0002] A thermal power unit refers to a generator unit that mainly uses coal as fuel. The capacity of thermal power units has increased from the 200 MW level to the 300 - 600 MW level, and by 1973, the largest thermal power unit reached 1300 MW. Large units and large power plants have greatly improved the thermal efficiency of thermal power generation, and the construction investment and power generation cost per kilowatt have also been continuously reduced. The "three reforms linkage" of coal power is for energy conservation, carbon reduction, heating transformation, and flexibility transformation of coal-fired power units, providing technical support for the new power system and the clean and low-carbon transformation of energy.

[0003] The main problems faced by the multi-objective optimization planning method and system for deep peak shaving transformation of thermal power units are how to achieve the expected deep peak shaving capacity and how to reduce system costs. The requirements for the deep peak shaving capacity of a pure condensing unit include: the load range is between 100 - 20%; without inputting auxiliary energy (such as oil / plasma, etc.) for combustion assistance, it can ensure stable combustion of the boiler, and under the requirement of meeting ultra-low emissions, its minimum stable operation load reaches 20%; the time for the unit to adjust from 50% load to the minimum load does not exceed 1.5 hours, and the time for the unit to adjust from the minimum load to 50% load does not exceed 1 hour. In addition, it is also necessary to consider how to minimize system costs. Achieving these goals requires the comprehensive collaborative efforts of local government authorities, relevant enterprises, and third parties. Summary of the Invention

Through the visualization interface, users can more intuitively understand the system performance and optimization effects, improving the usability and ease of use of the system. Step 6: Determine the goals of the deep peak shaving transformation based on the operating data and load demand of the thermal power unit.
