Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of coal-fired boiler operation control technology, specifically to a water supply method and system for coal-fired power generating units under low-load conditions. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of new energy power generation technologies, coal-fired power generating units have gradually taken on the important tasks of peak shaving and frequency regulation, and it has become the norm for them to frequently operate under low-load conditions, often below 40% of their rated load. However, the existing water supply systems and methods for coal-fired power generating units are mainly designed for rated load or higher load conditions, and there are many technical bottlenecks under low-load conditions, which seriously affect the safe and stable operation of the units, as well as their economic efficiency and environmental friendliness.
[0003] Specifically, under low-load conditions, the amount of steam extracted from the turbine for reheating is significantly reduced, and the extraction pressure drops substantially. This results in insufficient heating capacity of the high-pressure heater, preventing the feedwater temperature from reaching design requirements. Consequently, the economizer outlet flue gas temperature becomes excessively low, which not only easily leads to economizer corrosion and ash accumulation but also affects the catalyst activity of the boiler tail-end denitrification system, causing a decrease in denitrification efficiency and failing to meet environmental emission requirements. Simultaneously, the feedwater flow demand decreases drastically under low load conditions, making the feedwater pump prone to deviating from its high-efficiency operating range and experiencing cavitation due to insufficient inlet pressure. This results in large fluctuations in feedwater flow, making it difficult to stably control the boiler water level and increasing the operational risks of the unit.
[0004] Currently, most solutions to the aforementioned problems are partial adjustments, such as simply increasing the minimum flow rate of the feedwater pump or adding auxiliary heating devices. These solutions suffer from drawbacks such as significant heat loss, poor equipment adaptability, insufficient control precision, high system complexity, and high costs. They cannot fundamentally solve the comprehensive problems of insufficient feedwater temperature, unstable flow, low equipment operating efficiency, and difficulty in meeting environmental standards under low-load conditions. Therefore, developing a feedwater method and system that is highly adaptable, precisely controlled, energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and can ensure the safe and stable operation of the unit under low load has become an urgent technical challenge in the field of peak-shaving operation of coal-fired power generating units. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water supply method and system for coal-fired power generating units under low-load conditions to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the first technical solution adopted by this invention is: a water supply method for a coal-fired power generating unit under low-load conditions, comprising: S1: Real-time collection of operating status information of coal-fired power generation units to determine whether the unit is under low load conditions. If the current actual load is ≤40% of the rated load, the low load water supply control mode is activated. S2, extract the main steam in the main steam pipeline as the ejector steam, extract the regenerated steam with the highest pressure in the turbine section as the ejected steam, mix the ejector steam and the ejected steam and pressurize them to obtain mixed steam; S3, after the mixed steam is regulated by the mixed steam valve, it is sent to the steam side of the low-load feedwater heater. At the same time, the feedwater that has been preheated by the high-pressure heater is sent to the water side of the low-load feedwater heater. The mixed steam is used to reheat the feedwater, and the feedwater outlet temperature of the low-load feedwater heater is controlled to be no less than 150℃. S4, after the condensate generated by the low-load feedwater heater is regulated by the condensate valve, is introduced into the steam side of the high-pressure heater for recycling; real-time monitoring of feedwater temperature, flow rate and boiler water level parameters, by adjusting the opening of the steam valve, the ejected steam valve, the mixing steam valve and the condensate valve, combined with the speed regulation of the feedwater pump, to maintain stable feedwater flow and control the boiler water level fluctuation range within ±50mm. S5 monitors unit load changes in real time. When the actual unit load rises to more than 40% of the rated load, it shuts down the low-load water supply control mode and switches to the normal water supply mode.
[0007] Furthermore, the operating status information includes the rated load of the coal-fired power generation unit, the current actual load, the main steam pressure and flow rate, the turbine regenerative extraction steam pressure and flow rate, the feedwater temperature and flow rate, the boiler water level, and the economizer outlet flue gas temperature parameters.
[0008] Furthermore, in step S1, the parameter acquisition frequency is 1-5Hz, and the response time for operating condition identification is ≤10s; low-load operating conditions also include scenarios where the unit load fluctuates frequently and the fluctuation amplitude is ≥5% of the rated load / minute.
[0009] Furthermore, in step S3, the low-load feedwater heater adopts a shell-and-tube structure, with feedwater flowing in the tube side and mixed steam flowing in the shell side, and the heat exchange temperature difference is controlled at 15-25℃; when the feedwater temperature at the outlet of the low-load feedwater heater is lower than the set value, the mixed steam flow rate is increased, the ejector ratio of the jet heat pump is adjusted, and the mixed steam pressure and temperature are adjusted accordingly.
[0010] Furthermore, in step S4, the adjustment of the feedwater flow rate adopts a three-impulse control and variable parameter adjustment mode, with the boiler water level as the main control signal, the steam flow rate as the feedforward signal, and the feedwater flow rate as the feedback signal. The PID parameters are dynamically adjusted according to the load changes, and the feedwater pump adopts variable frequency speed control with a speed range of 30%-100% of the rated speed.
[0011] Furthermore, in step S5, the operating condition switching process adopts gradual control, with the mixed steam flow rate and feedwater pump speed gradually adjusted, and the switching time controlled within 30-60 seconds to avoid system fluctuations caused by sudden load changes.
[0012] Furthermore, in step S3, the outlet water temperature of the low-load water heater is monitored redundantly by setting two independent temperature sensors. When the difference between the measurements of the two sensors is ≥5℃, an abnormal temperature alarm is issued.
[0013] Furthermore, in step S4, the control standards for water quality are: water hardness ≤2μmol / L, dissolved oxygen ≤15μg / L, iron content ≤20μg / L, and copper content ≤5μg / L. The water quality is monitored in real time by an online water quality monitoring module. When the water quality exceeds the standards, the controller automatically starts the water purification device for treatment.
[0014] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the second technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a water supply system for a coal-fired power generation unit under low-load conditions, comprising a processor, a memory, and at least one program, wherein the program is stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor, and the program includes instructions for executing a water supply method for a coal-fired power generation unit under low-load conditions.
[0015] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art: 1. Effectively solves the core pain point of low-load feedwater and ensures safe and stable operation of the unit: Through optimized matching of steam source and graded heating regulation, the feedwater temperature at the outlet of the low-load feedwater heater is controlled above 150℃, avoiding corrosion and ash accumulation caused by excessively low flue gas temperature at the economizer outlet, while ensuring stable and efficient operation of the denitrification system to meet environmental emission requirements; combined with dynamic flow control and variable frequency speed regulation of feedwater pump, the boiler water level fluctuation is controlled within ±50mm, avoiding feedwater pump cavitation, solving the problem of unstable feedwater flow, and adapting to low-load and frequent load fluctuation conditions.
[0016] 2. Improve energy efficiency and reduce operating costs: By mixing and pressurizing the main steam and regenerated extraction steam through a jet heat pump, the waste heat of the regenerated extraction steam is fully recovered and utilized, reducing the consumption of main steam; at the same time, the condensate generated by the low-load feedwater heater is recovered and introduced into the high-pressure heater for recycling, minimizing heat loss and reducing unit energy consumption; the feedwater pump adopts variable frequency speed control to adapt to low-load flow demand, avoid ineffective energy consumption, and further improve the system economy.
[0017] 3. Precise control, strong adaptability, and convenient operation: The control system collects multi-dimensional operating parameters in real time, with a working condition identification response time of ≤10s. It can quickly switch between low-load control mode and normal mode, adapting to scenarios with frequent fluctuations in unit load. Each steam valve and condensate valve adopts stepless adjustment, combined with feedforward + feedback composite control logic, resulting in high control accuracy. It can dynamically optimize control parameters according to changes in unit load, without requiring a lot of manual intervention, thus reducing operation and maintenance costs.
[0018] 4. Simple structure, low modification difficulty, and strong practicality: This system is based on the optimization and modification of the existing water supply system of coal-fired power generating units. It does not require the addition of complex auxiliary equipment, has strong compatibility, short modification cycle, and low cost. The method and steps are clear and the connection with the existing unit operation process is smooth. It can be directly applied to the low-load water supply control of various coal-fired power generating units and has broad prospects for promotion and application.

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0022] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of this application described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or system that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or systems.
[0023] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a water supply method for a coal-fired power generation unit under low-load conditions, comprising: S1: Real-time collection of operating status information of coal-fired power generation units to determine whether the unit is under low load conditions. If the current actual load is ≤40% of the rated load, the low load water supply control mode is activated. S2, extract the main steam in the main steam pipeline as the ejector steam, extract the regenerated steam with the highest pressure in the turbine section as the ejected steam, mix the ejector steam and the ejected steam and pressurize them to obtain mixed steam; It should be noted that the main steam injection flow rate is steplessly regulated by the steam valve with an adjustment accuracy of ±0.5t / h; the injected steam flow rate is steplessly regulated by the injected steam valve to ensure that the pressure fluctuation of the mixed steam is ≤0.2MPa and the temperature fluctuation is ≤10℃.
[0025] The steam-water separation process uses a cyclone steam-water separator with a separation efficiency of ≥99.5%, ensuring that the dryness of the steam entering the jet heat pump is ≥99%.
[0026] Before entering the jet heat pump, both the main steam and the regenerated extraction steam undergo steam-water separation treatment to remove liquid water droplets entrained in the steam, thus preventing the water droplets from eroding the internal components of the jet heat pump.
[0027] S3, after the mixed steam is regulated by the mixed steam valve, it is sent to the steam side of the low-load feedwater heater. At the same time, the feedwater that has been preheated by the high-pressure heater is sent to the water side of the low-load feedwater heater. The mixed steam is used to reheat the feedwater, and the feedwater outlet temperature of the low-load feedwater heater is controlled to be no less than 150℃. It should be noted that the feedwater flow rate of the low-load feedwater heater should be controlled at 1.0-2.0 m / s to avoid a decrease in heat exchange efficiency due to excessively low flow rate, while also preventing pipe wear caused by excessively high flow rate.
[0028] The heat exchange area of the low-load feedwater heater is designed based on the unit's maximum low-load feedwater flow rate, with a heat exchange area redundancy of ≥15% to ensure sufficient heat exchange capacity.
[0029] S4, after the condensate generated by the low-load feedwater heater is regulated by the condensate valve, is introduced into the steam side of the high-pressure heater for recycling; real-time monitoring of feedwater temperature, flow rate and boiler water level parameters, by adjusting the opening of the steam valve, the ejected steam valve, the mixing steam valve and the condensate valve, combined with the speed regulation of the feedwater pump, to maintain stable feedwater flow and control the boiler water level fluctuation range within ±50mm. It should be noted that during condensate recovery, the temperature difference between the condensate entering the high-pressure heater and the steam temperature inside the high-pressure heater should be controlled to be ≤30℃ to reduce thermal shock and protect the high-pressure heater equipment.
[0030] The speed regulation of the water supply pump adopts PID closed-loop control, with a speed regulation response time of ≤2s, ensuring that the fluctuation of water supply flow is ≤±0.3t / h.
[0031] The steam trap is an adjustable steam trap with an opening range of 0-100%, which can be adjusted in real time according to the drainage flow to avoid drainage leakage or stagnation.
[0032] S5 monitors unit load changes in real time. When the actual unit load rises to more than 40% of the rated load, it shuts down the low-load water supply control mode and switches to the normal water supply mode.
[0033] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the operating status information includes the rated load of the coal-fired power generation unit, the current actual load, the main steam pressure and flow rate, the turbine regenerative extraction steam pressure and flow rate, the feedwater temperature and flow rate, the boiler water level, and the economizer outlet flue gas temperature parameters.
[0034] The monitoring threshold for the economizer outlet flue gas temperature is ≥120℃. When the economizer outlet flue gas temperature is detected to be lower than this threshold, the controller will simultaneously accelerate the low-load feedwater heating regulation rhythm and prioritize increasing the feedwater temperature.
[0035] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S1, the frequency of parameter acquisition is 1-5Hz, and the response time of operating condition identification is ≤10s; the low load operating condition also includes scenarios where the unit load fluctuates frequently and the fluctuation amplitude is ≥5% of the rated load / minute.
[0036] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S3, the low-load feedwater heater adopts a shell-and-tube structure, with feedwater flowing in the tube side and mixed steam flowing in the shell side, and the heat exchange temperature difference is controlled at 15-25℃; when the feedwater temperature at the outlet of the low-load feedwater heater is lower than the set value, the mixed steam flow rate is increased, the ejector ratio of the jet heat pump is adjusted, and the mixed steam pressure and temperature are adjusted accordingly.
[0037] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S4, the adjustment of the feedwater flow rate adopts a three-impulse control and variable parameter adjustment mode, with the boiler water level as the main control signal, the steam flow rate as the feedforward signal, and the feedwater flow rate as the feedback signal. The PID parameters are dynamically adjusted according to the load changes, and the feedwater pump adopts variable frequency speed control with a speed range of 30%-100% of the rated speed.
[0038] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S5, the operating condition switching process adopts a gradual control method, with the mixed steam flow rate and feedwater pump speed gradually adjusted, and the switching time controlled within 30-60 seconds to avoid system fluctuations caused by sudden load changes.
[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S3, the outlet water temperature of the low-load water heater is monitored redundantly by setting two independent temperature sensors. When the difference between the measurements of the two sensors is ≥5℃, an abnormal temperature alarm is issued.
[0040] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S4, the control standards for water quality are: water hardness ≤2μmol / L, dissolved oxygen ≤15μg / L, iron content ≤20μg / L, and copper content ≤5μg / L. The water quality is monitored in real time by an online water quality monitoring module. When the water quality exceeds the standards, the controller automatically starts the water purification device for treatment.
[0041] It should be noted that the online water quality monitoring module monitors at a frequency of 2-5Hz. When the water quality exceeds the control standard for 30 consecutive seconds, the controller will issue a water quality alarm signal and activate the enhanced treatment mode of the water purification device.
[0042] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the second technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a water supply system for a coal-fired power generation unit under low-load conditions, comprising a processor, a memory, and at least one program, wherein the program is stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor, and the program includes instructions for executing a water supply method for a coal-fired power generation unit under low-load conditions.
[0043] In summary, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art: 1. Effectively solves the core pain point of low-load feedwater and ensures safe and stable operation of the unit: Through optimized matching of steam source and graded heating regulation, the feedwater temperature at the outlet of the low-load feedwater heater is controlled above 150℃, avoiding corrosion and ash accumulation caused by excessively low flue gas temperature at the economizer outlet, while ensuring stable and efficient operation of the denitrification system to meet environmental emission requirements; combined with dynamic flow control and variable frequency speed regulation of feedwater pump, the boiler water level fluctuation is controlled within ±50mm, avoiding feedwater pump cavitation, solving the problem of unstable feedwater flow, and adapting to low-load and frequent load fluctuation conditions.
