Carbon emissions from coal-fired power generation account for 50% of my country's total carbon emissions. To achieve a low-carbon power system, coupling coal with biomass, and ultimately burning only biomass, is the primary focus of low-carbon retrofits for coal-fired units. The key to coupled combustion of biomass and coal in pulverized coal furnaces lies in the pulverization and transportation of the biomass. Currently, the equipment used to manufacture biomass-derived fuels consumes a lot of energy and fails to fully utilize the thermal resources of power plant steam and boiler flue gases.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 FIG. 1 is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The method for producing biomass-derived fuel for cascade utilization of steam extraction energy storage in large coal-fired boilers in this embodiment comprises the following steps:
[0034] S1. Under normal operating conditions, steam from the boiler superheater outlet enters the high-pressure cylinder to perform work;
[0035] S2. Under peak load operation, the grid has excess power and the turbine has excess steam;
[0036] The S2 comprises the following steps:
[0037] S2-1: Extract part of the steam from the high-pressure cylinder outlet to the molten salt energy storage module, where the steam heats the phase-change heat storage medium. The steam after heat exchange is then sent to the low-pressure cylinder to perform work.
[0038] S2-2, the steam from the low-pressure cylinder outlet goes to the dryer to dry the biomass, and then goes to the cooling tower to form condensed water. The condensed water enters the molten salt energy storage heat exchanger and then enters the superheater;
[0039] S2-3, extracting high-temperature flue gas from the power plant boiler between the bag filters and using the high-temperature characteristics of the high-temperature flue gas to roast the biomass;
[0040] S2-4, using an electrically driven pulverizer to pulverize biomass;
[0041] S2-5. Utilize an electrically driven extruder to extrude biomass, and after extrusion, form biomass-derived fuel. Thus, through the molten salt energy storage module and the biomass pretreatment system, including drying, torrefaction, crushing, extrusion, and molding, the molten salt energy storage module stores heat during peak-shaving conditions. This heat is then used to heat condensed water. Low-temperature waste steam from the steam turbine outlet provides heat for biomass drying, thereby improving system thermal efficiency. This fully utilizes the thermal resources of power plant steam and boiler flue gas to reduce energy consumption in biomass-derived fuel production. Furthermore, high-temperature flue gas torrefaction of biomass improves crushing performance. By controlling the ratio of garbage, straw, and sludge, the form and calorific value of the biomass-derived fuel approach those of coal.
[0042] Specifically, the cascade utilization of power plant steam and boiler flue gas heat resources is based on the principle of different uses for steam at different temperatures; under peak-shaving conditions, high-temperature steam uses molten salt energy storage modules to store heat, and low-temperature waste heat steam provides heat for biomass drying.
[0043] Specifically, in S2-2, the moisture content of the biomass after drying is reduced to less than 10%; in S2-4, the composition of the crushed biomass is more uniform, which is conducive to the subsequent production of molded fuel and ensures the stability of the molded fuel composition; in S2-5, the density of the biomass-derived fuel after molding is greater, which is conducive to transportation.
[0044] In this embodiment, in S1, the temperature of the steam at the boiler superheater outlet is 500°C.
[0045] In this embodiment, in S2-1, the temperature of part of the steam is 400°C; the melting point of the phase-change heat storage medium is 300°C-350°C; and the temperature of the steam after heat exchange is 300°C.
[0046] In this embodiment, in S2-2, the temperature of the steam at the outlet of the low-pressure cylinder is 200°C, the temperature of the machine-dried biomass is 90°C, and the temperature of the condensed water is 40°C.
[0047] In this embodiment, in S2-3, the high-temperature flue gas from the power plant boiler is 300°C-400°C. At temperatures between 300°C and 400°C, the composition and properties of biomass change. The pyrolysis temperature of hemicellulose in biomass is between 200°C and 315°C, and the pyrolysis temperature of cellulose in biomass is between 315°C and 400°C. The temperature of the low-temperature flue gas is between 100°C and 150°C, carrying combustible gases produced by torrefaction and returning to the boiler to assist combustion. Specifically, because both hemicellulose and cellulose undergo varying degrees of pyrolysis, the biomass composition changes, reducing the carbon and hydrogen content, and pyrolysis produces combustible gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and methane.
[0048] In summary, the present invention uses a molten salt energy storage module and a biomass pretreatment system for drying, baking, crushing, extruding, and molding biomass. Under peak-shaving conditions, the molten salt energy storage module is used to store heat, and this heat is provided to the condensed water for heating and heating. The low-temperature waste heat steam at the steam turbine outlet provides heat for biomass drying, thereby improving the thermal efficiency of the system; making full use of the heat resources of power plant steam and boiler flue gas to reduce the energy consumption of biomass-derived fuel production. In addition, the biomass baked with high-temperature flue gas is used to improve the crushing performance. By controlling the ratio of garbage, straw, and sludge, the form and calorific value of the biomass-derived fuel are close to those of coal.
[0049] The above description is intended to serve as a guide for the preferred embodiments of the present invention. Based on the above description, relevant personnel are fully capable of making various changes and modifications without departing from the technical scope of the present invention. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents of the specification and must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
