Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of gas turbine technology, in particular to a gas turbine operation regulation system using internal extraction energy. BACKGROUND
[0002] The construction of new power systems needs to consume renewable energy, but the inherent instability of wind, light, water and other renewable energy makes the rapid peak shaving capability of gas turbine power plants a strong guarantee for the construction of new power systems. In order to meet the needs of grid peak shaving, the unit needs to be operated under partial load conditions for a long time, which is generally realized by reducing the opening of the IGV of the compressor inlet guide vane to reduce the mass flow of the compressor inlet, or directly reducing the initial temperature of the gas. Reducing the IGV opening of the gas turbine will lead to a decrease in compressor efficiency, especially when the ambient temperature is low, the air density increases, and the air mass flow increases under the same IGV opening. In order to maintain the initial temperature of the gas, the IGV needs to be further closed, and the compressor efficiency will decrease more significantly; while directly reducing the initial temperature of the gas will lead to a decrease in the overall thermal efficiency of the gas turbine. The above regulation methods will have an adverse effect on the economy of the power plant. In view of this problem, according to the working principle of the gas turbine, moderately increasing the inlet temperature under partial load conditions helps to reduce the mass flow of the inlet, thereby allowing the IGV opening to increase to improve the efficiency of the compressor, while avoiding excessive reduction of the initial temperature of the gas to maintain a higher overall thermal efficiency.
[0003] In addition, modern high-power heavy-duty gas turbines require a large amount of cooling air due to their high initial gas temperature, and this part of cooling air comes from the high-pressure air extracted by the compressor (hereinafter referred to as compressor extraction), with a temperature of more than 300°C. Not only is the cooling effect limited, but it also consumes the working fluid for work, which also has an adverse effect on thermal efficiency to some extent.
[0004] Currently, existing gas turbine inlet heating methods include using flue gas or hot water waste heat to heat the inlet, using external heat sources to heat the inlet, and using high-temperature gas to mix with the gas turbine inlet to heat it. The technical means to improve the cooling effect of cooling air is to apply external coolers to reduce the temperature of the cooling air flow, such as: applying an once-through air cooling system (OTC system) to make the compressor extraction first cooled by the feedwater of the waste heat boiler as a cooling medium, and using a turbine rotor cooling air system (TCA system) to cool the compressor outlet air before injecting it into the gas turbine for rotor cooling. However, there is currently no technical means to combine heating the inlet and reducing the consumption of cooling air.
[0005] The existing patent CN110645101A discloses a constant-temperature air intake system and method for a gas turbine burning synthetic gas, which heats the air entering the compressor through the gas turbine constant-temperature air intake system, avoids the increase of the air mass flow entering the compressor due to the decrease of the ambient temperature, and thus does not need to increase the synthetic gas heat value to keep the turbine exhaust temperature unchanged. The patent adopts the technical scheme of heating the intake air, but the heat source is the tail flue gas of the waste heat boiler, and the use of the compressor extraction air as the heat source to reduce the cooling air consumption of the gas turbine body is not considered, and the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine system still needs to be improved.
[0006] The existing patent CN109812299A discloses a gas turbine turbine rotor cooling method and cooling gas system, which controls the extraction adjusting valve and the feedwater adjusting valve through the control system to adjust to meet the temperature and flow required for cooling the gas turbine turbine blade and disc. The patent does not clearly recycle the waste heat of the cooling gas, and at the same time needs complex feedwater equipment, which increases the initial investment cost and operation and maintenance cost of the system.
[0007] In summary, the above related existing patents do not solve the problems of the existing technology, i.e., the thermal efficiency reduction of the gas turbine under partial load conditions, the large cooling air consumption, and the insufficient cooling effect. SUMMARY

[0044] Specifically, the compressor 1 is connected with the hot side passage inlet of the medium heat exchanger 4, and the turbine 3 is connected with the hot side passage outlet of the medium heat exchanger 4. A low-pressure bleed air outlet, a medium-pressure bleed air outlet and a high-pressure bleed air outlet are arranged at the low-pressure part, the medium-pressure part and the high-pressure part of the compressor 1 respectively, and the three bleed air outlets are connected with the hot side passage inlet of the medium heat exchanger 4 through independent bleed air pipelines respectively, and a flow regulating valve 7 is arranged in each bleed air pipeline.

The cooling air pipelines are communicated with the bleed air pipelines of the same pressure level through the medium heat exchanger 4, that is, the compressor bleed air of the low-pressure bleed air pipeline flows into the low-pressure cooling air pipeline after being cooled, the compressor bleed air of the medium-pressure bleed air pipeline flows into the medium-pressure cooling air pipeline after being cooled, and the compressor bleed air of the high-pressure bleed air pipeline flows into the high-pressure cooling air pipeline after being cooled, thereby forming three independent cooling flow paths. A thermocouple and a flowmeter (not shown in the figure) are arranged on the low-pressure cooling air pipeline, the medium-pressure cooling air pipeline and the high-pressure cooling air pipeline respectively, to measure the temperature and flow of the cooling air flowing into the turbine 3, and the opening degree of the flow regulating valve 7 on the low-pressure bleed air pipeline, the medium-pressure bleed air pipeline and the high-pressure bleed air pipeline is adjusted through a fuzzy PID control algorithm, combined with the current gas turbine initial temperature, to realize dynamic adjustment of the cooling air flow.

Three medium heating loops are arranged between the medium heat exchanger 4 and the intake air heating device 5, and one medium heat dissipation loop is arranged between the medium heat exchanger 4 and the heat dissipation device 6. The heat-conducting medium of the medium heat exchanger 4 is heated by the compressor bleed air, enters the intake air heating device 5 to heat the intake air of the compressor 1, and can also flow into the heat dissipation device 6 to release excess heat. The first circulating pump 8 is used to control the opening and closing of each medium circulation loop.

[0046] Optionally, the medium heat exchanger 4 adopts a plate-fin heat exchanger, the hot side is a 310S stainless steel flow channel, and the cold side is an aluminum alloy flow channel. Efficient heat exchange is achieved through a mixed design of counterflow and crossflow. The extracted air and the heat-conducting medium exchange heat through the counterflow channels separated by aluminum fins. The hot side pressure drop is controlled within 8 kPa to maintain the efficiency of the gas turbine.
[0047] Optionally, the input end of the air inlet heating device 5 is connected to the atmosphere, and the output end is connected to the compressor. Three sections of heat exchange coils are arranged inside along the air flow direction. The three sections of heat exchange coils are located at upstream, midstream and downstream positions, respectively, and are connected to three medium heating loops, respectively. After the air flows into the input end of the air inlet heating device 5, it successively flows through the three sections of heat exchange coils and exchanges heat with the heat exchange coils. The heated air flows out of the output end of the air inlet heating device 5.
[0048] Optionally, the heat dissipation device 6 adopts a closed evaporative cooling tower, and the heat dissipation capacity can be adjusted in the range of 1-5 MW. The heat-conducting medium is reduced by 15-25℃.
[0049] Optionally, the flow regulating valve 7 adopts an electric V-type ball valve, the temperature sensor adopts a K-type thermocouple embedded in the wall of the air extraction pipeline, and a 3-point redundant arrangement is adopted. The flow meter adopts a vortex flow meter.
[0050] Optionally, the circulating pump in the medium heating loop adopts a magnetic drive centrifugal pump, which is controlled in a closed loop through the vortex flow meter in the circulating loop. The circulating pump in the medium heat dissipation loop adopts a turbine type pump, which is automatically started when the heat-conducting medium exceeds the limit.
[0051] The specific working process of the above-mentioned gas turbine regulation and control system using internal air extraction energy is as follows:
[0052] A certain amount of air E1, E2, E3 is extracted through the low-pressure air extraction outlet, the medium-pressure air extraction outlet and the high-pressure air extraction outlet of the compressor 1, respectively. The compressor extraction E1, E2, E3 flows into the medium heat exchanger 4 along the respective air extraction pipelines, releases heat to the heat-conducting medium through the medium heat exchanger 4, and cools down. The flow regulating valve 7 in the air extraction pipeline controls the compressor extraction flow in a closed loop according to the change of the compressor extraction temperature. After the compressor extraction E1, E2, E3 releases heat, the temperature drops, and the low-temperature cooling gas C1, C2, C3 flows out of the medium heat exchanger 4, flows into the low-pressure cooling gas inlet, the medium-pressure cooling gas inlet and the high-pressure cooling gas inlet of the turbine 3 through the cooling gas pipeline, respectively, and cools the hot end components of the gas turbine.
[0053] The heat-conducting medium of the medium heat exchanger 4 is heated and then flows out in four paths. Three of the paths are for the heat-conducting medium to enter the air heating device 5 through the heat-conducting medium inlet of the air heating device 5 to heat the air compressor inlet air. After the heat-conducting medium is heated, it returns to the cold side channel of the medium heat exchanger 4 under the drive of the circulating pump in the medium heating loop to start the next cycle. The medium heat dissipation loop is opened or closed as needed. When the medium heat dissipation loop is opened, part of the heat-conducting medium flows into the heat dissipation device 6 to cool and release excess heat. Then, under the drive of the circulating pump in the medium heat dissipation loop, the heat-conducting medium returns to the cold side channel of the medium heat exchanger 4 to start the next cycle.
[0054] Embodiment 2
[0055] Referring to Figure 2 The embodiment provides another specific implementation of a gas turbine regulation system using internal extraction energy. The difference between this embodiment and the above-mentioned embodiment 1 is that the medium heat exchanger 4 is replaced by a heat-boosting heat pump 9, a high-temperature heat source 10 is added, and the first circulating pump 8 is replaced by a second circulating pump 11, and a control valve 12 is added. The air compressor 1 and the turbine 3 are connected to the low-temperature heat source side of the heat-boosting heat pump 9, and the high-temperature heat source side of the heat-boosting heat pump 9 is connected to the high-temperature heat source 10.
[0056] Specifically, the air compressor 1 is connected to the low-temperature heat source side inlet of the heat-boosting heat pump 9, the turbine 3 is connected to the low-temperature heat source side outlet of the heat-boosting heat pump 9, and three independent cooling flow paths are formed. The corresponding relationship between the extraction air line and the cooling air line is the same as that of embodiment 1. The extracted air of the air compressor 1 is cooled by the heat-boosting heat pump 9 and used to cool the hot end components of the turbine 3. The flow of the extracted air is automatically controlled by the flow regulating valve 7 according to the temperature change of the air extracted by the air compressor. The heat-boosting heat pump 9 includes an absorber, a generator, a condenser, and an evaporator. The generator of the heat-boosting heat pump 9 uses the high-temperature heat source to heat the lithium bromide solution, causing water to evaporate into steam that enters the condenser, while the concentrated lithium bromide solution flows to the absorber. The water vapor in the condenser condenses and releases heat to heat the heat-conducting medium. The liquid water is depressurized by a throttle valve and enters the evaporator. The heat of the low-temperature heat source in the evaporator is absorbed by the liquid water, which evaporates into low-temperature water vapor. The low-temperature steam flows into the absorber and is absorbed by the concentrated lithium bromide solution, releasing heat to further heat the heat-conducting medium. The lithium bromide solution forms a dilute solution and returns to the generator. The heat-boosting heat pump 9 is driven by the high-temperature heat source side to recover heat from the low-temperature heat source and heat the heat-conducting medium in the cold side channel.
[0057] Specifically, the air intake heating device 5 and the heat dissipation device 6 are connected with the cold side channel of the heat-boosting heat pump 9, the outlet of the cold side channel of the heat-boosting heat pump 9 is connected with the heat conducting medium inlet of the air intake heating device 5, the heat conducting medium outlet of the air intake heating device 5 is connected with the heat conducting medium inlet of the heat dissipation device 6, the heat conducting medium outlet of the heat dissipation device 6 is connected with the inlet of the cold side channel of the heat-boosting heat pump 9, and the second circulating pump 11 is connected in the heating flow path between the heat conducting medium outlet of the heat dissipation device 6 and the inlet of the cold side channel of the heat-boosting heat pump 9. The control valve 12 includes a first main path valve, a second main path valve and a bypass valve, the first main path valve and the second main path valve are respectively arranged in the flow path close to the heat conducting medium inlet and the heat conducting medium outlet of the air intake heating device 5, a bypass connecting the flow path of the heat conducting medium inlet of the heat dissipation device 6 is arranged on the outlet flow path of the cold side channel of the heat-boosting heat pump 9, and the bypass valve is arranged in the bypass. The heat-boosting heat pump 9 uses the heat released by the air extraction of the compressor as a heat source to increase the temperature of the heat conducting medium in the cold side channel, the heat conducting medium flows into the air intake heating device 5 to heat the air intake of the compressor, and then flows into the heat dissipation device to release excess heat.
[0058] Optionally, the high-temperature heat source 10 is a small amount of high-pressure water vapor extracted from a waste heat boiler or a small amount of flue gas extracted from a chimney.
[0059] The specific working process of the above-mentioned gas turbine regulation system using internal air extraction energy is as follows:
[0060] A certain amount of air E1, E2 and E3 is extracted through the low-pressure air extraction outlet, the medium-pressure air extraction outlet and the high-pressure air extraction outlet of the compressor 1, and the air extraction E1, E2 and E3 flows into the heat-boosting heat pump 9 along the respective air extraction pipelines to be used as a low-temperature heat source of the heat-boosting heat pump 9 and release heat to be cooled in the heat-boosting heat pump 9. The flow regulating valve 7 in the air extraction pipeline controls and adjusts the air extraction flow of the compressor according to the change of the air extraction temperature of the compressor. After releasing heat, the air extraction E1, E2 and E3 is cooled to become low-temperature cooling air C1, C2 and C3, and flows into the low-pressure cooling air inlet, the medium-pressure cooling air inlet and the high-pressure cooling air inlet of the turbine 3 through the cooling air pipeline to cool the hot end components of the gas turbine.
[0061] The heat-boosting heat pump 9 consumes the heat energy provided by the high-temperature heat source 10 to recover part of the heat from the air extraction E1, E2 and E3 as a low-temperature heat source, and increase the temperature of the heat conducting medium in the cold side channel.
[0062] In a normal working state, the first main valve and the second main valve are kept open, the bypass valve is kept closed, the heat conducting medium flows out of the cold side channel outlet of the heat increasing heat pump 9, enters the air inlet heating device 5 through the heat conducting medium inlet of the air inlet heating device 5, heats the air inlet of the compressor, and after heating, the heat conducting medium flows into the heat dissipating device 6 to release excess heat, and under the driving of the second circulating pump 11, returns to the cold side channel of the heat increasing heat pump 9 to start the next cycle; if the air inlet does not need to be heated, the first main valve and the second main valve are closed, and the bypass valve is opened, the heat conducting medium directly flows into the heat dissipating device 6 to release heat, and finally under the driving of the second circulating pump 11, returns to the cold side channel of the heat increasing heat pump 9 to start the next cycle.
