Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of deep peak shaving and energy saving technology, specifically a bypass regenerative turbine system for heating feedwater at low load in thermal power units. Background Technology
[0002] The stable operation of SCR flue gas denitrification systems in thermal power plants is a primary means of achieving nitrogen oxide emission reduction targets and has been widely adopted. In thermal power units, the regenerative extraction steam pressure is basically proportional to the unit load. As the unit load decreases, the boiler feedwater temperature inevitably decreases as well, causing a corresponding decrease in the flue gas temperature at the economizer outlet. When the flue gas temperature is too low, it leads to a reduction in catalyst activity. Simultaneously, ammonia and sulfur trioxide will generate ammonium bisulfate under low-temperature flue gas conditions, which adheres to the denitrification catalyst and air preheater, adsorbing dust and causing blockage of the denitrification catalyst and air preheater. The pressure differential in the denitrification reactor and air preheater slowly increases, thereby reducing the output of the induced draft fan and affecting the unit output. Therefore, controlling the inlet flue gas temperature of the denitrification reactor is crucial.
[0003] As the proportion of new energy in the power grid gradually increases, the demand for peak-shaving power sources also gradually increases. Compared with new energy power sources, coal power has better peak-shaving performance. In the next few years, thermal power units, especially coal power units, will continue to operate at low loads or perform deep peak shaving. Therefore, how to increase feedwater temperature and take into account energy conservation and consumption reduction under low load conditions has become the goal of thermal power units.
[0004] When the steam turbine is under low load, the amount of steam required decreases. Since the steam turbine's flow area is not adjustable, it is often necessary to reduce the steam pressure to decrease the steam density in order to ensure that the steam volume flow rate matches the steam turbine's flow area. It can be seen that the steam turbine inlet pressure is approximately proportional to the unit load. The lower the load, the lower the required inlet pressure. At this time, the boiler will still continue to provide steam at a higher pressure. There is a certain pressure difference between the main steam between the boiler and the steam turbine that can be utilized. Summary of the Invention

The limiting rod is slidably sleeved on the inner wall of the fixing ring near the top, and the bottom of the limiting rod passes through the inner wall of the tee pipe and is tightly attached to the outer edge of the sealing ring.
[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bypass regenerative turbine is used for boiler feedwater temperature regulation. The bypass regenerative turbine adopts an axial flow or centripetal structure. A speed controller for detecting the rotation speed is provided at the rotating shaft of the bypass regenerative turbine, and the signal output terminal of the speed controller is electrically connected to the drive mechanism of the steam regulating valve of the bypass regenerative turbine through a cable.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the boiler load is reduced to the start-stop point, the bypass regenerating turbine diverts a portion of the main steam from the main regulating valve. The low-load bypass regulating valve introduces the steam into the bypass regenerating turbine for expansion and work. The output shaft of the bypass regenerating turbine is coaxially connected to the input shaft of the variable frequency generator via a rigid coupling. The end of the variable frequency generator away from the bypass regenerating turbine is electrically connected to the input terminal of a high-power rectifier-inverter via a high-voltage cable.

After the high-pressure heater heats the water to a predetermined temperature, its outlet pipe is connected to the feed water temperature regulator. A second bypass regenerative turbine is arranged in parallel on the side of the bypass regenerative turbine, and the two form parallel bypass regenerative paths.
[0024] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0025] 1. This bypass regenerative turbine system for low-load feedwater heating in thermal power units is an improvement on the existing steam turbine steam cycle power generation system. It is equipped with a bypass regenerative turbine specifically for boiler feedwater temperature regulation. By changing the opening of the bypass regulating valve and the turbine speed, the turbine exhaust pressure and exhaust steam flow are controlled, so that the boiler feedwater temperature is always within the optimal temperature range. In addition, it can utilize some of the non-throttling main steam during low-load constant pressure operation to increase the steam work capacity, reduce the unit's coal consumption rate, and improve its overall energy saving level.
[0026] 2. This bypass regenerative turbine system for low-load feedwater heating in thermal power units utilizes a combination of a three-way pipe and an auxiliary pipe. It supplies main steam through the main channel and uses the main steam to drive a piston via the auxiliary pipe. When the piston moves to the point where the connecting pipe connects to the main channel via the auxiliary pipe, gas flows through the connecting pipe into the rotating slot, thereby driving the baffle to rotate. This, in turn, causes the auxiliary baffle to attract magnet plate one and magnet plate two, which in turn opens the solenoid valve exhaust pipe. The baffle then drives the baffle plate to rotate, allowing auxiliary gas to supply steam to the bypass regenerative turbine through the bypass channel. The auxiliary device then automatically starts and stops based on the steam pressure.
[0027] 3. This bypass regenerative turbine system for low-load feedwater heating in thermal power units supplies air to the auxiliary ring via a solenoid valve tube, thereby pushing the circular plate downwards. The circular plate, through a connecting rod, drives the magnet to slide on the inner wall of the coil. The electromagnetic damping generated by the coil and the magnet assists in reducing vibration in the three-way pipe, preventing valve vibration caused by flow fluctuations due to turbulent flow field, thus ensuring stable operation of the device. When the circular plate moves downwards, air is supplied to the inside of the fixed ring through the air guide pipe, thereby assisting the downward movement of the limiting rod. The limiting rod then compresses and limits the sealing ring, and the convex surface of the positioning protrusion aligns with the inner wall of the limiting groove, further ensuring the stable limiting of the baffle.

The low-load bypass regulating valve 3 introduces steam into the bypass regenerating turbine 5 for expansion and work. The output shaft of the bypass regenerating turbine 5 is coaxially connected to the input shaft of the variable frequency generator 6 through a rigid coupling. The end of the variable frequency generator 6 away from the bypass regenerating turbine 5 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the high-power rectifier-inverter device 7 through a high-voltage cable. The high-power rectifier-inverter device 7 converts non-fixed-frequency electrical energy into electrical energy with the same frequency as the power grid. After being transformed by the transformer 8, it is connected to the plant power system 9. The exhaust steam of the bypass regenerating turbine 5 enters the feedwater temperature regulator 11, thereby using the gas to increase the feedwater temperature of boiler 1.

[0062] The outlet of the low-pressure heater 17 is connected to the inlet of the deaerator 18 via a low-pressure heated water pipe. After the outlet of the deaerator 18 is pressurized by the feed water pump 19, it is connected to the inlet of the high-pressure heater 20 via a pressurized water pipe. After the high-pressure heater 20 heats the water to a predetermined temperature, its outlet pipe is connected to the feed water temperature regulator 11.
[0063] Working principle: When the load of boiler 1 is reduced to the start-stop point, the bypass reheat turbine 5 diverts part of the main steam from the main regulating valve 4.
[0064] The main steam is supplied through the main channel 302, and the main steam pushes the piston 306 to move through the auxiliary pipe 304 until the main channel 302 is connected to the rotating groove 308 through the auxiliary pipe 304 and the connecting pipe 310. Gas then flows through the connecting pipe 310 into the rotating groove 308, thereby driving the baffle 307 to rotate. The auxiliary baffle 307 then attracts the first magnet plate 309 and the second magnet plate 312, which in turn opens the solenoid valve exhaust pipe 311. This causes the baffle 307 to rotate the baffle plate 315, allowing auxiliary gas to supply steam to the bypass regenerating turbine 5 through the bypass channel 303. The auxiliary device then automatically starts and stops according to the steam pressure, supplying gas to the auxiliary ring 318 through the solenoid valve exhaust pipe 311, thereby pushing the circular plate 325 downwards. The circular plate 325 drives the magnet 323 to slide on the inner wall of the coil 322 via the connecting rod 324. The electromagnetic damping generated by the coil 322 and the magnet 323 assists the three-way pipe 301 in reducing vibration, avoiding valve vibration caused by flow fluctuations due to turbulent flow field, thus ensuring stable operation of the device. When the circular plate 325 moves down, air is supplied to the inside of the fixed ring 317 through the air guide pipe 326, thereby assisting the limit rod 334 to move down. The limit rod 334 then squeezes and limits the sealing ring 316. The convex surface of the positioning protrusion 332 connects with the inner wall of the limit groove 314, thereby further ensuring the stable limit of the baffle 315. This assists the low-load bypass regulating valve 3 to start and stop automatically, and avoids valve vibration caused by turbulent flow field, while further ensuring the stable limit of the baffle 315.
[0065] The bypass regenerative turbine 5 expands and performs work through the low-load bypass regulating valve 3. The bypass regenerative turbine 5 directly drives the variable frequency generator 6 to generate non-fixed-frequency electrical energy. Subsequently, the high-power rectifier-inverter device 7 converts the non-fixed-frequency electrical energy into electrical energy with the same frequency as the power grid. After being transformed by the transformer 8, it is connected to the plant power system 9. The exhaust steam from the bypass regenerative turbine 5 enters the feedwater temperature regulator 11 to increase the feedwater temperature of boiler 1, ensuring the normal operation of the flue gas denitrification device (SCR) of boiler 1 under low-load conditions and reducing the coal consumption of boiler 1. As the load will further decrease, the low-load bypass regulating valve 3 is gradually opened, and the speed of the bypass regenerative turbine 5 is gradually increased by the speed controller 10 to keep the feedwater temperature of boiler 1 within the set range.
[0066] When the load of boiler 1 increases and is not higher than the start-stop point, gradually close the low load bypass regulating valve 3 and gradually reduce the speed of bypass regenerating turbine 5 using speed controller 10 until the load of boiler 1 increases to the start-stop point. At this time, close the low load bypass regulating valve 3, and the bypass regenerating turbine 5 stops and is in heat preservation state, waiting for the next start-up.
[0067] An improvement is made to the existing steam turbine steam cycle power generation system by setting up a bypass regenerative turbine 5 specifically for regulating the feedwater temperature of boiler 1. By changing the opening of the bypass regulating valve and the turbine speed, the turbine exhaust pressure and exhaust steam flow are controlled, so that the feedwater temperature of boiler 1 is always within the optimal temperature range. Furthermore, some of the non-throttling main steam can be used during low-load constant pressure operation to increase the steam work capacity, reduce the unit's coal consumption rate, and improve its overall energy-saving level.
[0068] Example 2
[0069] A second bypass regenerative turbine 21 is installed on the side of the bypass regenerative turbine 5. The bypass regenerative turbine 5 and the second bypass regenerative turbine 21 are connected in series. After the bypass regenerative turbine 5 extracts steam, it is introduced into the feedwater temperature regulator 11. After the second bypass regenerative turbine 21 extracts steam, it is introduced into the high-pressure heater 20. After the bypass regenerative turbine 5 and the second bypass regenerative turbine 21 extract steam, they are mixed and exchanged with the condensate twice, which further increases the temperature of the boiler 1 inlet water, thereby improving the unit's circulation efficiency and reducing coal consumption.
