Detailed Implementation
[0023] The exemplary embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments to aid understanding, and should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.
[0024] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, outlines a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for operating a boiler at low load according to embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0025] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method for operating a boiler at low load, as provided in an embodiment of this disclosure.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps: Step 101: Obtain the operating parameters of the boiler under low load conditions; Boiler low-load operation refers to the condition where the actual operating load of the boiler is lower than the conventional rated operating load. This condition is a common occurrence during the deep peak shaving process of the boiler. Under this condition, the combustion stability of the boiler is easily affected by various factors, making it particularly important to accurately obtain the operating parameters under this condition.
[0027] The operating parameters include key data reflecting the overall combustion status and operating status of each piece of equipment when the boiler is under low load conditions. These include air volume and velocity data related to the operation of the coal mill, fineness data related to the characteristics of pulverized coal, stable combustion capability data related to the operation of the burner, nozzle flame temperature data, as well as various combustion data inside the furnace and a series of core data such as boiler steam parameters and heating surface tube wall temperature.
[0028] When obtaining these operating parameters, it is necessary to rely on corresponding professional measuring devices and sampling and analysis equipment to carry out data collection and testing in a standardized manner when the boiler is in a stable low-load operating state. This ensures that the collected operating parameters are authentic and valid. At the same time, all types of data collected must be recorded in real time and completely to avoid data loss or deviation. This provides comprehensive, accurate and referable data for subsequent work such as air volume calibration, wind speed adjustment, pulverized coal fineness optimization, mill commissioning mode adaptation, and stable combustion test, ensuring the orderly progress of the boiler's low-load refined operation adjustment work.
[0029] Step 102: Adjust the operating status of the boiler's combustion equipment according to the operating parameters; Combustion equipment includes various core supporting equipment for boiler pulverization and combustion, covering key equipment such as coal mill related operating components, separators, and burners. Adjustment operations must be carried out in an orderly manner based on the specific operating conditions of various equipment reflected in the operating parameters. In combination with various key information reflected in the parameters, such as the operating deviation of coal mill air volume and wind speed, the actual state of coal powder fineness, and the matching degree between coal mill operation combination and burner stable combustion capability, corresponding adjustments should be made to different combustion equipment.
[0030] To address deviations in the airflow and velocity parameters related to the coal mill, the inlet airflow control status of the coal mill was adjusted, and the operating status of the primary airflow regulating device was calibrated. To address the compatibility issues reflected in the coal powder fineness parameters, the operating status of the separator was adjusted. To address the matching parameters between the coal mill commissioning combination and the burner operating status, the commissioning method of the coal mill was adjusted, and the operating status of the burner was optimized.
[0031] Throughout the adjustment process, it is necessary to monitor the dynamic changes of operating parameters in real time to control the adjustment range and actual effect of the combustion equipment. This ensures that the adjusted operating status of the combustion equipment can accurately adapt to the low-load operating requirements of the boiler, improve the coordination and rationality of the operation of various combustion equipment, improve the overall combustion conditions of the boiler under low load, lay a solid foundation for the stable combustion effect of the boiler during the low-load stage, and at the same time enable the combustion equipment to maintain a highly efficient and stable operating state under low-load conditions, thus assisting in the refined operation adjustment during the deep peak shaving process of the boiler.
[0032] Step 103: Based on the adjusted combustion conditions, reduce the boiler load until the target stable combustion load is reached, and maintain stable combustion under the target stable combustion load.
[0033] During the process of reducing boiler load, it is necessary to rely on the stable combustion conditions after adjustment to proceed smoothly. The load should be gradually reduced in a reasonable manner to avoid the impact of sudden increases or decreases in load on the combustion reaction in the furnace. The ignition state and combustion rhythm of the fuel in the furnace should be controlled at all times to ensure the operational stability of the boiler combustion system throughout the entire load reduction process.
[0034] Once the boiler load gradually decreases to the preset target stable combustion load, it is necessary to immediately maintain this load level and not continue to lower it. The focus should be on maintaining stable combustion under the target stable combustion load. During this process, it is necessary to continuously monitor various combustion-related states inside the furnace, control the dynamic operation of the combustion system in real time, and ensure that the combustion reaction inside the furnace can proceed continuously and stably without any abnormalities such as combustion fluctuations or flameout.
[0035] Throughout the entire process of load reduction and stable combustion maintenance, it is necessary to continuously monitor the changes in various core operating parameters of the boiler, dynamically and promptly control the combustion status based on the parameters, ensure that the boiler can maintain stable combustion for a long period of time under the target stable combustion load, and effectively achieve the goal of refined stable combustion operation of the boiler under low load conditions.
[0036] In some embodiments, obtaining the boiler's operating parameters under low-load conditions includes: The primary air velocity and inlet air volume of the coal mill are measured, and the corresponding air volume measuring device is calibrated based on the measurement results.
[0037] Primary air velocity is the flow velocity of the primary air conveying pulverized coal at the coal mill outlet, and inlet air volume is the actual flow rate of air entering the coal mill. Both are important parameters that directly reflect the operating status of the coal mill. Related measurement work must be carried out in a standardized manner under the condition that the boiler is in hot operation. The primary air velocity measuring device at the coal mill outlet is operated to conduct on-site testing of the primary air velocity. At the same time, combined with the actual measurement results of the primary air velocity, the actual air volume at the coal mill inlet is calculated through professional calculation. The operation of the measurement link is strictly controlled throughout the process to ensure that the measurement data of primary air velocity and inlet air volume are true and accurate.
[0038] The airflow measurement device is a specialized piece of equipment used to detect the inlet airflow of a coal mill. Based on the measured primary velocity data and the calculated actual inlet airflow, the device is calibrated to determine its corresponding calibration coefficients. This process simultaneously calibrates the coal mill inlet airflow measurement coefficients, optimizing the device's detection accuracy. Throughout the measurement and calibration process, meticulous real-time recording and repeated verification of every data point are essential to prevent measurement deviations or calibration errors. This ensures the accuracy and validity of the coal mill's primary velocity and inlet airflow data, allowing the calibrated device to continuously and stably output reliable airflow data during subsequent boiler operation. This provides precise data on coal mill airflow and velocity for targeted adjustments to the combustion equipment's operating status.
[0039] In some embodiments, measuring the primary velocity and inlet air volume of the coal mill includes: The primary air velocity at the outlet of the coal mill is measured to obtain the calibration coefficients used to calibrate the primary air velocity measuring device; The actual air volume at the coal mill inlet is calculated based on the primary wind speed to calibrate the coefficient of the coal mill inlet air volume measuring device.
[0040] When measuring the primary air velocity and inlet air volume of a coal mill, it is necessary to follow the standard operating procedure step by step. First, a precise on-site measurement of the primary air velocity at the coal mill outlet should be carried out. The actual data of the primary air velocity at the coal mill outlet should be obtained through professional measurement methods. Then, based on the actual measurement results, professional calculations should be performed to determine the calibration coefficient that can be used to calibrate the primary air velocity measuring device.
[0041] After measuring the primary air velocity at the coal mill outlet and determining the corresponding calibration coefficients, the obtained actual primary air velocity data is used as the core calculation basis. The actual air volume at the coal mill inlet is accurately calculated through an appropriate calculation method. This actual air volume reflects the true data of the coal mill's air intake conditions. Then, using the calculated actual air volume at the coal mill inlet as a calibration reference, targeted calibration operations are carried out on the coefficients of the coal mill inlet air volume measuring device to complete the accurate calibration of the device's measurement coefficients.
[0042] Throughout the entire measurement and calibration process, it is essential to ensure real-time data acquisition and complete recording at each step, strictly control the standardization of operations, and guarantee the accuracy of the primary wind speed measurement data and the calculation results of the actual inlet air volume. This will allow the calibrated primary wind speed measurement device and inlet air volume measurement device to maintain high detection accuracy, and ensure that the output air volume and wind speed related data can accurately reflect the actual operating status of the coal mill, providing reliable coal mill operating data support for subsequent adjustments to the operating status of boiler combustion equipment.
[0043] In some embodiments, adjusting the operating status of the boiler's combustion equipment includes: Adjust the opening of the separator baffle of the coal mill.
[0044] In the process of adjusting the operating status of the boiler's combustion equipment, making targeted adjustments to the opening of the separator baffle of the coal mill is a key operation to optimize the characteristics of pulverized coal to meet the low-load combustion requirements of the boiler. This operation can directly change the separation and grinding effect of pulverized coal in the coal mill, precisely control the fineness of pulverized coal, and make the produced pulverized coal more suitable for the combustion characteristics of the boiler under low-load conditions.
[0045] The separator baffle is a core component in the coal mill that regulates the efficiency of coal powder separation. Its opening directly affects the flow path and screening effect of coal powder in the separator. Changes in the opening directly determine the fineness of the coal powder discharged from the coal mill. When the separator baffle is properly closed, coarse coal powder will be brought back to the grinding area of the coal mill for secondary grinding, ultimately making the coal powder produced by the coal mill finer. Finer coal powder has better ignition and combustion characteristics, making it easier to ignite and burn more completely under low boiler load conditions, thus improving the boiler combustion conditions from the source of coal powder.
[0046] When adjusting the separator damper opening, it is necessary to rely on the boiler's low-load operating parameters obtained in the early stage, combined with the calorific value of the coal fed into the furnace, the estimated coal quantity of a single coal mill under low load based on the boiler's electrical load, and the sampling analysis results of the coal powder fineness under the original damper opening. The operation should be carried out gradually to reduce the opening. During the adjustment process, it is necessary to track the changes in coal powder fineness in real time and accurately control the adjustment range of the damper to ensure that the adjusted separator damper opening allows the coal mill to continuously produce coal powder that meets the boiler's low-load stable combustion requirements, making the ignition and combustion process of the coal powder more stable. This optimizes the overall combustion conditions of the boiler from the perspective of coal powder characteristics, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent smooth reduction of the boiler load to the target stable combustion load and the maintenance of stable combustion.
[0047] In some embodiments, adjusting the operating status of the boiler's combustion equipment includes: Adjust the combination of coal mills put into operation.
[0048] Adjusting the combination of coal mills in operation during the process of adjusting the operating status of the boiler's combustion equipment is an important operation to optimize the overall operational coordination of the combustion equipment under low load conditions. This operation can ensure that the operation status of the coal mills is highly compatible with the working requirements of the burners and the low-load combustion conditions of the boiler.
[0049] The combination of coal mills refers to the number of coal mills actually put into operation and the specific arrangement of the operation positions. Different coal mill combinations will directly affect the fuel supply status of the burner, which in turn will have a direct effect on the burner's stable combustion capability and nozzle flame temperature. At the same time, it will also be related to changes in key operating indicators such as SCR inlet flue gas temperature, boiler steam parameters, and heating surface tube wall temperature.
[0050] When adjusting the combination of coal mills, it is necessary to rely on the low-load operating parameters of the boiler obtained in the early stage, and combine the working status of the burner and the combustion situation in the furnace reflected by various parameters. A comprehensive analysis of the operating performance of the boiler’s core indicators under different coal mill combination methods should be conducted. Based on this, the coal mills put into operation should be reasonably combined and adjusted, and the coal mill operation mode suitable for the low-load operating conditions of the boiler should be selected.
[0051] During the adjustment process, it is necessary to monitor the dynamic changes of various operating parameters in real time, accurately control the rhythm and magnitude of the coal mill combination adjustment, and ensure that the adjusted coal mill combination can make the fuel supply of the burner more stable, keep the nozzle flame temperature within a reasonable range, and at the same time keep the SCR inlet flue gas temperature, steam parameters and heating surface tube wall temperature within the normal operating range, improve the overall operational adaptability of the combustion equipment, and enable the boiler to form a more stable low-load combustion condition, providing a solid equipment operation guarantee for the subsequent smooth reduction of boiler load to the target stable combustion load and the maintenance of stable combustion.
[0052] In some embodiments, reducing the boiler load until the target stable combustion load is reached based on the adjusted combustion conditions includes: Reduce the boiler load step by step according to the preset load reduction range; The system operates stably for a preset time at each load level, and the combustion status is monitored. When the boiler load is reduced to the target stable combustion load, it shall maintain operation for a period of time not less than the preset duration.
[0053] When reducing the boiler load based on the adjusted combustion conditions until the target stable combustion load is reached, it is necessary to follow the principle of smooth and orderly operation and carry out the operation step by step. First, the boiler load should be reduced step by step according to the pre-set load reduction range. The method of reducing the load drastically at once should be abandoned. The load should be reduced gradually at a preset reasonable range. This can effectively avoid the violent impact of sudden load changes on the stable combustion reaction in the furnace, prevent abnormal situations such as unstable combustion and flame fluctuations due to sudden load drop, and ensure the overall stability of the boiler combustion system throughout the load reduction process.
[0054] After each load reduction is completed, the boiler must be kept in stable operation at that load level for a pre-set time. This stable operation time allows sufficient space for monitoring the combustion status. During this period, the boiler's combustion status must be comprehensively monitored, and key combustion indicators such as fuel ignition, internal pressure, and excess air coefficient must be accurately controlled. Only after confirming that all combustion indicators are stable and there are no combustion abnormalities at that load level can the next load reduction operation be carried out, ensuring that each load reduction operation is based on stable combustion.
[0055] When the boiler load is gradually reduced to the preset target stable combustion load through step-by-step reduction, the load reduction operation will cease, and the boiler will continue to operate at the target stable combustion load for a duration not less than the pre-set time. Sufficient continuous operation time can fully verify the continuity and stability of the boiler's combustion state under the target stable combustion load, ensuring that the boiler has the ability to maintain stable combustion for a long period of time under this load. Throughout the entire load reduction process, it is necessary to continuously monitor the dynamic changes of various core operating parameters of the boiler, and promptly judge the combustion state based on parameter changes to ensure the smooth progress of the load reduction operation and the effective realization of the stable combustion effect under the target stable combustion load.
[0056] Corresponding to the above-described method for operating a boiler at low load, this invention also proposes a device for operating a boiler at low load.
