[0002] In a gas turbine combined with a steam turbine power generation system, after the gas turbine is started with load, the steam turbine can be directly connected to the grid to increase the load only after the main steam and reheat steam meet the start-up requirements.

[0003] Publication No. CN110847984A discloses a supercritical carbon dioxide cycle coal-fired power generation system with integrated low-temperature waste heat recovery and an operation method, comprising a two-stage main compressor, an interstage cooler, a recompressor, a precooler, a three-stage regenerator, a boiler, a high-pressure turbine, a medium-pressure turbine, and a low-pressure turbine; a superheated gas cooling wall and a primary reheater are arranged in the boiler furnace to jointly bear the furnace radiation heat load to prevent the superheated supercritical carbon dioxide from overheating; a portion of the supercritical carbon dioxide working medium is diverted from the outlet of the medium-temperature regenerator to enter the medium-temperature economizer in the vertical flue at the rear of the boiler to absorb the heat of the high-temperature flue gas, and a portion of the supercritical carbon dioxide working medium is diverted from the outlet of the second-stage main compressor to enter the low-temperature economizer in the diversion flue at the tail of the boiler to absorb the heat of the low-temperature flue gas.

[0004] The above existing technologies only recover low-temperature waste heat. However, during the startup of the steam turbine, the steam turbine needs to be preheated. The preheating time of the steam turbine is relatively long when the gas turbine is started, which in turn prolongs the startup time of the unit and consumes additional natural gas. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a system and method for shortening the startup time of the unit by utilizing the waste heat of the gas turbine cooling system. The system and method can shorten the startup time of the unit and avoid consuming additional natural gas.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention discloses a system for shortening the start-up time of a unit by utilizing waste heat from a gas turbine cooling system, comprising a waste heat boiler, a natural gas preheater, a second turbine cooler, an electric heater, an auxiliary steam header, a medium-pressure cylinder and a high-pressure cylinder;

[0007] The outlet of the low-temperature economizer in the waste heat boiler is divided into two routes, one of which is connected to the heat release side of the natural gas preheater through the first electric valve, a small-flow medium-pressure feed water pump, and the heat absorption side of the first turbine cooler; the other is connected to the heat absorption side inlet of the second turbine cooler through the second electric valve, the heat absorption side outlet of the second turbine cooler is connected to the inlet of the electric heater, the outlet of the auxiliary steam manifold is connected to the inlet of the electric heater through the third electric valve, the outlet of the electric heater is connected to the outlet of the medium-pressure cylinder through the medium-pressure cylinder preheating valve, and the outlet of the electric heater is connected to the outlet of the high-pressure cylinder through the high-pressure cylinder back-warming valve.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a natural gas input pipeline, a combustion chamber, a turbine, and a compressor;

[0009] The natural gas input pipeline is connected to the inlet of the combustion chamber through the heat absorption side of the natural gas preheater. The outlet of the combustion chamber is connected to the inlet of the turbine. The outlet of the compressor is connected to the inlet of the combustion chamber. The air extraction port of the compressor is divided into three paths. Among them, the first path is connected to the inlet of the turbine through the fourth electric valve and the heat release side of the first turbine cooler. The second path is connected to the inlet of the turbine through the fifth electric valve and the heat release side of the second turbine cooler. The third path is connected to the inlet of the turbine through the sixth electric valve. The flue gas outlet of the turbine is connected to the flue gas inlet of the waste heat boiler.

[0010] Furthermore, the main steam outlet of the waste heat boiler is connected to the inlet of the high-pressure cylinder through the high-pressure main steam valve. The outlet of the high-pressure cylinder is connected to the reheat side inlet of the waste heat boiler through the high-pressure exhaust check valve. The reheat side outlet of the waste heat boiler is connected to the inlet of the intermediate-pressure cylinder through the intermediate-pressure main steam valve. The outlet of the intermediate-pressure cylinder is connected to the inlet of the low-pressure cylinder through the low-pressure main steam valve. The outlet of the low-pressure cylinder is connected to the feed water inlet of the waste heat boiler through the condenser and the condensate pump.

[0011] Furthermore, the main steam outlet of the waste heat boiler and the reheat side inlet are connected through a high bypass hydraulic valve.

[0012] Furthermore, the superheated steam outlet of the waste heat boiler is connected to the inlet of the condenser through the intermediate bypass hydraulic valve.

[0013] Furthermore, the outlet of the intermediate-pressure cylinder is connected to the inlet of the condenser through the low bypass hydraulic valve.

[0014] Furthermore, a low-pressure cylinder drain valve is provided at the drain outlet of the low-pressure cylinder, an intermediate-pressure cylinder drain valve is provided at the drain port of the intermediate-pressure cylinder, and a high-pressure cylinder drain valve is provided at the drain port of the high-pressure cylinder.

[0015] Furthermore, the compressor, the turbine, and the first generator are arranged coaxially.

[0016] Furthermore, the low-pressure cylinder, the intermediate-pressure cylinder, the high-pressure cylinder, and the second generator are arranged coaxially.

[0017] The present invention discloses a method for shortening the startup time of a unit by utilizing the waste heat of a gas turbine cooling system, including the following steps:

[0018] Open the second electric valve, the fifth electric valve and the sixth electric valve. The feed water output by the low-pressure economizer absorbs heat and evaporates into superheated steam in the second turbine cooler. Open the third electric valve and supplement the steam volume through the auxiliary steam header to ensure the cylinder preheating requirement. At the initial stage of the gas turbine startup, when the steam temperature is insufficient, turn on the electric heater. After the gas turbine starts up, open the high-pressure bypass hydraulic valve, the intermediate-pressure bypass hydraulic valve and the low-pressure bypass hydraulic valve, and send the steam that does not reach the steam turbine rotation starting parameters into the condenser. Open the high-pressure cylinder reverse warming valve, the intermediate-pressure cylinder preheating valve, the high-pressure cylinder drain valve, the intermediate-pressure cylinder drain valve and the low-pressure cylinder drain valve in advance. Confirm that the high-pressure main steam valve and the intermediate-pressure main steam valve are closed, and carry out reverse warming of the high-pressure cylinder and the intermediate-pressure cylinder, so that the warming steam enters the high-pressure cylinder and the intermediate-pressure cylinder. The drain water discharged from the high-pressure cylinder, the intermediate-pressure cylinder and the low-pressure cylinder enters the condenser. When the cylinder body of the high-pressure cylinder and the intermediate-pressure cylinder is preheated to the preset temperature, stop the reverse warming and close the high-pressure cylinder reverse warming valve and the intermediate-pressure cylinder preheating valve. Wait until the superheated steam parameters generated by the waste heat boiler meet the steam turbine rotation starting parameters, then open the high-pressure main steam valve and the intermediate-pressure main steam valve to carry out warm-state startup, and then synchronize to the grid. As the load increases, gradually close the high-pressure bypass hydraulic valve, the intermediate-pressure bypass hydraulic valve and the low-pressure bypass hydraulic valve.

[0019] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] When the system and method for shortening the unit startup time by using the waste heat of the gas turbine cooling system according to the present invention are specifically operated, a second turbine cooler is arranged in parallel near the original turbine cooler for producing low-pressure steam used for steam turbine preheating. When waiting for the gas turbine to start up again, the steam turbine can be preheated in advance. In this way, after the gas turbine starts up and takes load, as long as the main steam and the reheated steam meet the rotation starting requirements, the steam turbine can directly synchronize to the grid and increase the load, reducing the consumption of natural gas. After the preheating is completed, it is switched to the common use mode of the double turbine coolers to recover the waste heat of the extraction steam. After the transformation, the performance of the combined cycle can be effectively improved, and it has the characteristics of strong operability in use, flexible operation mode and remarkable energy-saving effect.

[0045] Embodiment 2

[0046] The present invention discloses a method for shortening the start-up time of a unit by using the waste heat of a gas turbine cooling system. The method for shortening the start-up time of a unit by using the waste heat of a gas turbine cooling system is realized based on the system for shortening the start-up time of a unit by using the waste heat of a gas turbine cooling system. The system for shortening the start-up time of a unit by using the waste heat of a gas turbine cooling system includes a compressor 1, a combustion chamber 2, a natural gas preheater 3, a turbine 4, a first generator 5, a small-flow intermediate-pressure feed water pump 6, a first turbine cooler 7, a second turbine cooler 8, an electric heater 9, a low-pressure cylinder 10, an intermediate-pressure cylinder 11, a high-pressure cylinder 12, a second generator 13, a waste heat boiler 14, a condenser 15, a condensate pump 16, a high-pressure main steam valve 17, a high-pressure cylinder drain valve 18, an intermediate-pressure main steam valve 19, an intermediate-pressure cylinder drain valve 20, a low-pressure main steam valve 21, a low-pressure cylinder drain valve 22, an intermediate-pressure cylinder prewarming valve 23, a low bypass hydraulic valve 24, an auxiliary steam header 25, a high-pressure exhaust check valve 26, an intermediate bypass hydraulic valve 27, a high bypass hydraulic valve 28, a first electric valve 29, a second electric valve 30, a third electric valve 31, a fourth electric valve 32, a fifth electric valve 33, a sixth electric valve 34 and a high-pressure cylinder reverse warming valve 35, and the specific connection mode is as shown in Embodiment 1.

[0047] The method for shortening the start-up time of a unit by using the waste heat of a gas turbine cooling system includes the following steps:

[0048] The compressed air output by the compressor 1 and natural gas are burned in the combustion chamber 2 to generate high-temperature flue gas. The high-temperature flue gas enters the turbine 4 to expand and do work. The exhaust gas of the turbine 4 enters the waste heat boiler 14 to heat the boiler feed water to form main steam with different pressure parameters. The main steam enters the steam turbine unit to expand and do work. The exhaust steam of the steam turbine enters the condenser 15 to form condensate, and then is pumped to the waste heat boiler 14 by the condensate pump 16 to form a steam-water cycle. The heat of the condenser 15 is taken away by the circulating water.

[0049] The turbine cooler is an air / water heat exchanger, and the low-pressure feed water output by the low-pressure economizer flows into the turbine cooler. The modified gas turbine cooling system has a more flexible working mode compared with that before modification.

[0050] After the single gas turbine starts, the steam turbine cylinder is preheated by using the waste heat of the air at the same time. The preheating method is as follows: Open the second electric valve 30, the fifth electric valve 33 and the sixth electric valve 34. The feed water output by the low-pressure economizer absorbs heat in the second turbine cooler 8 and evaporates into superheated steam. The pressure of the steam is about 0.6 MPa. Open the third electric valve 31 and supplement the steam volume through the auxiliary steam header 25 to ensure the demand for cylinder preheating. At the initial stage of the gas turbine startup, the steam temperature is insufficient, and the electric heater 9 is put into use to ensure that the temperature of the steam for cylinder preheating reaches above 300 °C. After the gas turbine starts, open the high-pressure bypass hydraulic valve 28, the intermediate-pressure bypass hydraulic valve 27 and the low-pressure bypass hydraulic valve 24, and send the steam that does not reach the steam turbine rotation starting parameters into the condenser 15. Open the high-pressure cylinder reverse warming valve 35, the intermediate-pressure cylinder preheating valve 23, the high-pressure cylinder drain valve 18, the intermediate-pressure cylinder drain valve 20 and the low-pressure cylinder drain valve 22 in advance. Confirm that the high-pressure main steam valve 17 and the intermediate-pressure main steam valve 19 are closed, and carry out reverse warming of the high-pressure cylinder 12 and the intermediate-pressure cylinder 11, so that the warming steam enters the high-pressure cylinder 12 and the intermediate-pressure cylinder 11. The drain water discharged from the high-pressure cylinder 12, the intermediate-pressure cylinder 11 and the low-pressure cylinder 10 enters the condenser 15. When the cylinder bodies of the high-pressure cylinder 12 and the intermediate-pressure cylinder 11 are preheated to about 240 °C, stop the reverse warming, close the high-pressure cylinder reverse warming valve 35 and the intermediate-pressure cylinder preheating valve 23. Wait until the superheated steam parameters generated by the waste heat boiler 14 meet the steam turbine rotation starting parameters, then open the high-pressure main steam valve 17 and the intermediate-pressure main steam valve 19 to carry out warm startup, so that the steam turbine rotates to 3000 r / min in a shorter time, and then is synchronized to the grid. As the load increases, gradually close the high-pressure bypass hydraulic valve 28, the intermediate-pressure bypass hydraulic valve 27 and the low-pressure bypass hydraulic valve 24.

[0051] After the preheating is completed, the combined cycle unit is synchronized to the grid and enters the load increasing control. The first turbine cooler 7 is also put into use. Open the first electric valve 29 and the fourth electric valve 32, start the small-flow intermediate-pressure feed water pump 6. The intermediate-pressure feed water absorbs heat in the first turbine cooler 7 and then enters the natural gas preheater 3 to heat the natural gas, heating the cold natural gas to the target temperature corresponding to the current load of the unit. The cooled intermediate-pressure feed water converges with the outlet of the intermediate-pressure feed water pump of the waste heat boiler 14. The second turbine cooler 8 continues to be put into use. Close the third electric valve 31 and stop using the electric heater 9. After the gas turbine load increases, open the intermediate-pressure cylinder preheating valve 23 again. At this time, the steam turbine unit has carried the load. The steam generated by the second turbine cooler 8 enters the low-pressure cylinder 10 to do work together with the exhaust steam of the intermediate-pressure cylinder 11 after passing through the intermediate-pressure cylinder preheating valve 23. By adjusting the opening of the sixth electric valve 34, the mixed air reaches the target temperature for cooling the blades in the turbine 4.

This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present invention that follow the general principles of the present invention and include known common knowledge or conventional technical means in the technical field not disclosed in the present invention.
