[0015] Example 1 This invention addresses the impact of primary fan efficiency reduction on coal mill airflow, which in turn affects fuel consumption. Furthermore, this reduction leads to changes in air preheater airflow, ultimately impacting boiler flue gas temperature. The invention constructs a quantitative model of the influence of primary fan efficiency changes on the electrical load output of coal-fired power units. This invention further clarifies the quantitative assessment of the impact of auxiliary equipment operating conditions on the output of thermal power units, laying a significant theoretical foundation for accurately evaluating the influence of auxiliary equipment such as fans on the output of thermal power units.
[0016] To address the current difficulty in quantitatively determining the impact of reduced wind turbine efficiency on the power output of generating units, this invention proposes a quantitative analysis method for the power output of thermal power units based on the power balance formula and thermal balance principle of generator systems, combined with the law of conservation of energy.
[0017] The concept of a quantitative analysis method for thermal power unit output based on auxiliary machine operating status includes: 1. The change in unit power generation is influenced by the boiler-side characteristics. Specifically, the change is determined by the interlocking effects of the total primary air volume through the coal mill output and main steam flow, as well as the interlocking effects of flue gas temperature, flue gas heat loss, boiler efficiency, and main steam flow. Specifically, it is the change in coal mill output per unit change in the total primary air volume, combined with the change in main steam flow per unit change in coal mill output; and simultaneously, the change in flue gas temperature per unit change in the total primary air volume, combined with the change in flue gas heat loss per unit change in flue gas temperature. The changes in boiler efficiency and main steam flow rate, along with the changes in power generation per unit change in main steam flow rate, constitute the influence of this path. On the other hand, it is also affected by the turbine-side correlation characteristics. The turbine steam specific internal work, correlated with the primary air fan flow rate, determines another part of the power change through the correlation effect of exhaust enthalpy. That is, the change in exhaust enthalpy per unit change in turbine steam specific internal work, along with the changes in power generation per unit change in exhaust enthalpy, constitute the influence of this path.
[0018] 2. Based on the multipath decomposition equation of the unit's power generation change, the power generation change caused by the boiler-side path can be obtained by using the known change in the total primary air volume and the partial derivative parameters of each link (such as the partial derivative of the primary air volume on the coal mill output, the partial derivative of the flue gas heat loss on the boiler efficiency, etc.). The change in power generation caused by the turbine-side path can be obtained by using a functional relationship formed by parameters such as the rate of change of the turbine's steam specific internal work with respect to the exhaust enthalpy. This allows for further determination of changes in the primary airflow, such as... Figure 2 As shown, this represents the total change in the unit's power generation.
[0019] Based on the above concept, and based on the power balance formula and heat balance principle of the generator system, combined with the law of conservation of energy, this invention further proposes the principle followed in implementing the technical solution of this invention, namely: calculating the change in coal mill output based on the change in primary air fan volume; calculating the change in main steam flow based on the change in coal mill output and the change in boiler efficiency; calculating the change in generator power based on the change in main steam flow and the change in turbine steam specific internal work; wherein, the change in boiler efficiency is calculated by the change in flue gas temperature caused by the change in primary air fan volume, and the change in turbine steam specific internal work is calculated by the turbine steam parameters after the change in primary air fan volume. The specific implementation process includes: 1. Establish , and The functional relationship can be derived by taking the total differential to obtain the change in the unit's power generation. The changes in the total primary air volume cause changes in the coal mill output, which in turn cause changes in the main steam flow; changes in flue gas temperature cause changes in flue gas heat loss, which in turn cause changes in boiler efficiency, which in turn cause changes in the main steam flow. The combination of these factors leads to... Change, represented as .
[0020] 2. The change in the total air volume of the primary blower affects the steam specific internal work of the turbine, thereby influencing... The change is represented as .
[0021] 3. Combining the change in main steam flow rate caused by the change in the total air volume of the primary fan with the change in the steam specific internal work of the turbine, we get the change in power generation under the condition of a change in the total air volume of the primary fan.
[0022] The present invention provides a quantitative analysis method for the output of thermal power units based on the operating status of auxiliary equipment. This method combines the power balance formula, heat balance principle and energy conservation law of the power generation system to establish a quantitative analysis method for the output of thermal power units based on the operating status of auxiliary equipment.
