Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of thermal power peak regulation, and in particular relates to a thermal power peak regulation system utilizing latent heat and a working method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Against the backdrop of the "dual carbon" goals, a new green, low-carbon power system dominated by renewable energy is being constructed. Renewable energy has entered a new stage of large-scale, high-quality, and rapid development. The annual growth in installed capacity of renewable energy, coupled with the randomness and volatility of renewable energy, poses significant challenges to the security and stability of the power grid. To accommodate more renewable energy while ensuring the security and stability of the grid, thermal power, as the "ballast" of energy supply, will long serve as the primary peak-shaving power source in the grid system. During periods of reduced or non-existent renewable energy generation, thermal power generation must operate at full capacity to ensure a balance between the "source" and "load" sides. This places higher demands on the flexible operation of thermal power units.

[0003] Molten salt energy storage technology, as a cross-timescale energy storage technology, can be coupled with thermal power units to reduce energy losses during peak load regulation while simultaneously releasing stored energy. It is a highly promising solution for the flexibility of thermal power units. Molten salt energy storage, with its high safety, operational flexibility, high efficiency, and long lifespan, aligns well with the needs and development trends of thermal power units. To address the current challenges facing thermal power units, a latent heat-based peak load regulation system has been designed. This system uses steam (using both sensible and latent heat) and electricity to store thermal energy in a molten salt medium to meet the peak load regulation needs of the thermal power units. The molten salt then releases heat back to the thermal power units, improving their peak capacity and operational economy. Summary of the Invention

[0012] A method for operating a thermal power peak-shaving system utilizing latent heat, comprising: (1) When the thermal power unit receives a deep adjustment instruction, the molten salt energy storage system is in the process of storing heat. The boiler operates at the lowest stable combustion load. The main steam generated enters the high-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine to perform work on one path, and the other path passes through the main steam-molten salt heat exchanger for heat storage, cooling and pressure reduction, and then flows into the exhaust pipe of the high-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine.

According to the actual needs of the thermal power unit, the condensate enters the low-pressure cylinder to continue to work or flows into the steam supply manifold to provide steam to the outside or return to the high-pressure heater system to replace the high-pressure heater extraction steam to increase the unit load; (4) The high-temperature molten salt is driven by the high-temperature molten salt pump to flow out of the high-temperature molten salt tank, and then returns to the low-temperature molten salt tank for storage after heat exchange with water or steam through the heater, evaporator, and preheater.

[0013] Preferably, the working method of the thermal power peak-shaving system using latent heat is such that the extraction amounts of main steam and reheated steam are consistent.

[0014] The present invention adopts the above technical solution and has the following beneficial effects: (1) Ensure that the extraction volume of main steam and reheat steam is consistent to avoid problems with turbine thrust. The main steam returns to the cold reheat pipe after heat exchange to avoid overheating and overspeed problems in the boiler reheater.

[0015] (2) The sensible heat and latent heat of the reheated steam are utilized at the same time, which can make greater use of the heat of the steam and improve energy utilization.

[0016] (3) According to different steam demand, the operation mode of molten salt heat release to generate steam can be flexibly adjusted to improve the overall efficiency and economy.

[0017] (4) By utilizing the extra electricity generated by the unit to heat the molten salt, the overall temperature of the molten salt can be increased, and the same volume of molten salt can store more heat.

[0018] (5) Simultaneously utilize electric heating and steam to heat molten salt, decoupling the turbine and boiler, and improving the unit's deep regulation range and new energy consumption level. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

7. A method for operating a thermal power peak-shaving system utilizing latent heat according to any one of claims 1 to 5, characterized in that: The working method comprises: (1) When the thermal power unit receives a deep adjustment instruction, the molten salt energy storage system is in the process of storing heat. The boiler operates at the lowest stable combustion load. The main steam generated enters the high-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine to perform work on one path, and the other path passes through the main steam-molten salt heat exchanger for heat storage, cooling and pressure reduction, and then flows into the exhaust pipe of the high-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine. After merging with the high-pressure cylinder exhaust steam, it enters the boiler for reheating; the reheated steam generated by the boiler enters the intermediate-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine to perform work on one path, and the other path is further divided into two paths through molten salt heat storage and cooling. The first path of reheated steam passes through the first reheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger and condenses into water and flows into the deaerator. Using the latent heat of the reheated steam, the second path of reheated steam passes through the second reheated steam-molten salt heat exchanger and can enter the low-pressure cylinder to continue to perform work according to the actual needs of the thermal power unit or flow into the steam supply manifold to provide steam to the outside; (2) After the low-temperature molten salt flows from the low-temperature molten salt storage tank through the low-temperature molten salt valve, it is divided into three paths and enters the main steam-molten salt heat exchanger, the reheated steam-molten salt first heat exchanger, and the reheated steam-molten salt second heat exchanger, and then flows into the molten salt electric heater. After being heated by the molten salt electric heater, the molten salt flows out into the molten salt high-temperature storage tank for storage; (3) When the molten salt energy storage system releases heat, condensate is taken from the outlet of the third low-pressure heater and pressurized by the third feed water pump before entering the preheater, evaporator, and superheater to generate steam. According to the actual needs of the thermal power unit, the condensate enters the low-pressure cylinder to continue to work or flows into the steam supply manifold to provide steam to the outside or return to the high-pressure heater system to replace the high-pressure heater extraction steam to increase the unit load; (4) The high-temperature molten salt is driven by the high-temperature molten salt pump to flow out of the high-temperature molten salt tank, and then returns to the low-temperature molten salt tank for storage after heat exchange with water or steam through the heater, evaporator, and preheater.

8. The operating method of the thermal power peak-shaving system utilizing latent heat according to claim 7, characterized in that: The extraction amounts of the main steam and the reheated steam are the same.
