Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermal power generation technology, specifically to a coal-fired power generation system and its operation method based on zero output of a high-pressure cylinder and extraction steam heat storage. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid increase in the proportion of new energy units such as wind power and photovoltaic power in the power system, their strong time-varying characteristics have brought severe challenges to the frequency regulation, power balance and voltage stability of the power grid. At present, coal-fired power generation, as the "ballast" of the power system's power supply, needs to undertake a large number of peak shaving and frequency regulation tasks to support the grid connection of a high proportion of new energy sources. Therefore, it is urgent to improve its operational flexibility.
[0003] However, the potential to improve the operational flexibility of coal-fired power generation systems by altering their thermal configuration or adjusting control strategies has been largely exhausted. Against this backdrop, molten salt thermal storage systems, by achieving thermoelectric decoupling, can overcome the limitations of traditional coal-fired power generation systems, reduce the output power of the boiler at its minimum stable combustion load, and increase the unit's load change rate, making it one of the effective ways to improve the load change performance of coal-fired power generation units. However, most existing technologies, due to complex safety constraints, struggle to balance operational flexibility and efficient utilization of molten salt thermal storage systems. For example, while using main steam as a heat source to heat molten salt can achieve a high equivalent cycle efficiency, the reduction in boiler output power at the minimum stable combustion load is limited by reheater overheating limitations. Conversely, using reheat steam as a heat source significantly reduces the equivalent cycle efficiency, but is still limited by the turbine's minimum flow rate, making it difficult to reduce the minimum load rate below 20%. Therefore, in order to further reduce the output power of coal-fired power generation under the minimum stable combustion load of the boiler and maintain a high equivalent cycle efficiency, it is necessary to carry out targeted thermal system modifications to avoid complex safety constraints and achieve efficient and flexible operation of coal-fired power generation systems with integrated molten salt thermal storage systems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a coal-fired power generation system and its operation method based on zero output of a high-pressure cylinder and extraction steam thermal storage. This system includes a coal-fired power generation system and a molten salt thermal storage system. During deep peak shaving, a small amount of cooling steam is introduced into the high-pressure cylinder to achieve zero output. High-temperature and medium-temperature molten salts absorb heat from the superheated section of the main steam and the superheated and latent heat sections of the reheated steam, respectively. The heated molten salts are stored in high-temperature and medium-temperature hot salt tanks, respectively. Under stable boiler combustion conditions, the coal-fired power generation system achieves a reduction in output power. When the system needs to rapidly increase the load, the medium-temperature hot molten salt first heats the feedwater passing through the feedwater diversion valve. Part of the heated feedwater flows to the boiler feedwater inlet, while the other part is heated by the high-temperature hot molten salt into superheated steam, which then merges with the reheated steam in the hot section before entering the turbine to perform work, thus rapidly increasing the output power of the coal-fired power generation system.

[0006] The high-pressure regenerator group 11, deaerator 9 and low-pressure regenerator group 8 in the coal-fired power generation system are determined according to their specific number of stages and type based on the existing configuration of the coal-fired power generation system; when the high-pressure cylinder 2 is in zero-output condition, the heating steam source of the high-pressure regenerator group 11 corresponding to the original high-pressure cylinder 2 steam extraction is switched to the steam after the main steam heat exchange.
[0007] The measures to ensure safe operation of the high-pressure cylinder under zero-output conditions are as follows: First, adjust the main reheat steam connecting valve 17 to control the pressure and flow rate of the cooling steam entering the high-pressure cylinder 2; Second, dynamically adjust the opening of the high-pressure cylinder exhaust valve 15 to match the vacuum degree of the condenser 6; Third, install a pre-spray water desuperheating device in the pipeline section before the cooling steam enters the high-pressure cylinder 2, and adjust the water spray desuperheating according to the monitoring values of the steam temperature at the inlet and outlet of the high-pressure cylinder 2.
[0008] The operating parameters of the coal-fired power generation system must meet the following constraints: the boiler 1 is operating within the safe and stable operating boundary and meets the environmental emission indicators; the exhaust steam temperature of the high-pressure cylinder 2 and the low-pressure cylinder 4 is controlled within the design allowable range; the axial thrust of the high-pressure cylinder 2 and the medium-pressure cylinder 3 is controlled within the thrust design allowable range of the matching thrust bearing; during deep peak shaving, the deaerator 9 does not experience self-boiling.
[0009] The operating parameters of the molten salt thermal storage system must meet the following constraints: the main steam molten salt heat exchanger 21 is a counter-flow shell-and-tube heat exchanger, and the heat exchange temperature difference must be above 10℃; the molten salt temperature in the high-temperature cold salt tank 18 must be above 20℃ higher than the molten salt temperature in the medium-temperature hot salt tank 29; the reheat steam molten salt heat exchanger 28 is a counter-flow shell-and-tube heat exchanger, and the heat exchange pinch point temperature must be above 5℃; the molten salt temperature in the medium-temperature hot salt tank 29 is above 5℃ higher than the outlet feedwater temperature of the high-pressure regenerator group 11 under the rated load of the coal-fired power generation system; and the molten salt temperature in the medium-temperature cold salt tank 25 is above 5℃ higher than the outlet feedwater temperature of the feedwater pump 10 under the rated load of the coal-fired power generation system.
[0010] Measures to ensure the normal operation of the molten salt thermal storage system include: during deep peak shaving, coordinating and controlling the operating status of condensate pump 7 and feedwater pump 10, and the opening of main steam diversion valve 23 and reheat steam diversion valve 30 to ensure that the molten salt temperature in high-temperature cold salt tank 18, high-temperature hot salt tank 22, medium-temperature cold salt tank 25 and medium-temperature hot salt tank 29 is within the required range; during the heat release phase of the molten salt thermal storage system, coordinating and controlling the operating status of high-temperature hot salt pump 36 and medium-temperature hot salt pump 32, and the opening of feedwater diversion valve 35, molten salt steam generator diversion valve 39, high-temperature hot salt valve 37 and medium-temperature hot salt valve 33 to ensure that the heat exchange pinch point temperature in molten salt steam generator 38 is higher than 5℃.
[0011] An operation method for a coal-fired power generation system based on zero output of a high-pressure cylinder and extraction steam thermal storage is as follows: 1) When the coal-fired power generation system requires deep peak shaving, close the main steam valve 12, the first steam shut-off valve 14, and the second steam shut-off valve group 16; open the high-pressure cylinder exhaust valve 15 and the main reheat steam connecting valve 17. A small amount of reheat steam enters the high-pressure cylinder 2 as cooling steam and flows to the condenser 6, with the high-pressure cylinder in a zero-output state; open the main steam diversion valve 23, the reheat steam diversion valve 30, and the high-pressure regenerator group steam control valve group 24. After all the main steam releases superheated heat in the main steam molten salt heat exchanger 21, it is divided into two paths: one path flows to the cold section reheat steam inlet of boiler 1, and the other path flows to the high-pressure regenerator after being regulated by the high-pressure regenerator group steam control valve group 24. At the steam inlet of unit 11, a large amount of hot-section reheat steam releases heat from the superheated and latent heat sections in the reheat steam molten salt heat exchanger 28, and then flows sequentially through the feedwater preheater 31 and the low-pressure regenerator group 8, reducing the output power of generator 5. On the molten salt side, the molten salt in the high-temperature cold salt tank 18 flows sequentially through the high-temperature cold salt pump 19 and the high-temperature cold salt valve 20, and after absorbing heat from the superheated section of the main steam in the main steam molten salt heat exchanger 21, it flows to the high-temperature hot salt tank 22. The molten salt in the medium-temperature cold salt tank 25 flows sequentially through the medium-temperature cold salt pump 26 and the medium-temperature cold salt valve 27, and after absorbing heat from the superheated and latent heat sections of the hot-section reheat steam in the reheat steam molten salt heat exchanger 28, it flows to the medium-temperature hot salt tank 29. 2) When the coal-fired power generation system needs to rapidly increase the load, the feedwater diversion valve 35 and the molten salt steam generator diversion valve 39 are opened. The feedwater enters the molten salt feedwater heat exchanger 34 and absorbs heat before being divided into two paths: one path flows to the feedwater inlet of boiler 1; the other path enters the molten salt steam generator 38 after passing through the molten salt steam generator diversion valve 39 and absorbs heat to become superheated steam. After being regulated by the supplementary steam regulating valve 40, it merges with the hot section reheat steam and enters the turbine to do work, increasing the output power of generator 5. On the molten salt side, the medium-temperature hot salt in the medium-temperature hot salt tank 29 flows sequentially through the medium-temperature hot salt pump 32 and the medium-temperature hot salt valve 33 to preheat the feedwater in the molten salt feedwater heat exchanger 34. The high-temperature hot salt in the high-temperature hot salt tank 22 flows sequentially through the high-temperature hot salt pump 36 and the high-temperature hot salt valve 37 to heat the diverted feedwater in the molten salt steam generator 38 to generate superheated steam. 3) When the coal-fired power generation system does not require deep peak shaving and rapid load increase, the heat storage circuit and heat release circuit of the molten salt thermal storage system are in thermal standby mode, and the coal-fired power generation system is in normal operating condition.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) This invention integrates high-pressure cylinder zero-output technology and molten salt thermal storage system, and adopts the method of full extraction of main steam and large-scale extraction of hot section reheat steam to significantly reduce the lower limit of unit output, achieve zero output of high-pressure cylinder, and at the same time ensure stable boiler combustion, hydrodynamic safety and pollutant discharge in compliance with standards. (2) The added molten salt thermal storage system can be modularly arranged and has strong applicability. It only needs to be connected to the existing system via bypass pipes and standard valve groups, and the corresponding thermal storage capacity should be configured according to the renovation requirements. It is applicable to both condensing units and cogeneration systems. (3) During the deep peak shaving stage of the coal-fired power generation system, the molten salt thermal storage system can achieve thermal storage by absorbing steam heat, which can assist the coal-fired power generation system in participating in peak shaving and frequency regulation, so that the coal-fired power generation system still has strong grid auxiliary service capabilities under extremely low load conditions; during the stage of rapid load increase of the coal-fired power generation system, the molten salt thermal storage system can significantly improve the unit load change rate and regulation accuracy by heating feedwater to release heat.

The connection relationship between the steam-water side of the molten salt thermal storage system and the coal-fired power generation system is as follows: The main steam outlet of boiler 1 is connected to the steam inlet of main steam diversion valve 23. The steam outlet of main steam diversion valve 23 is connected to the steam inlet of main steam molten salt heat exchanger 21. The steam outlet of main steam molten salt heat exchanger 21 is divided into two paths: one path is connected to the reheat steam inlet of the cold section of boiler 1, and the other path is connected to the steam inlet of high-pressure regenerator group steam control valve group 24.

[0018] The operating parameters of the coal-fired power generation system must meet the following constraints: Boiler 1 operates within the safe and stable operating boundary and meets environmental emission standards; the exhaust steam temperatures of high-pressure cylinder 2 and low-pressure cylinder 4 are both controlled within the design allowable range; the axial thrust of high-pressure cylinder 2 and intermediate-pressure cylinder 3 is controlled within the design allowable range of the thrust bearings; during deep peak shaving, deaerator 9 does not experience self-boiling. The advantage is that it ensures the safe operation of the coal-fired power generation system under wide load conditions.
[0019] The operating parameters of the molten salt thermal storage system must meet the following constraints: the main steam molten salt heat exchanger 21 is a counter-flow shell-and-tube heat exchanger, and the heat exchange temperature difference must be above 10℃; the molten salt temperature in the high-temperature cold salt tank 18 must be at least 20℃ higher than the molten salt temperature in the medium-temperature hot salt tank 29; the reheat steam molten salt heat exchanger 28 is a counter-flow shell-and-tube heat exchanger, and the heat exchange pinch point temperature must be above 5℃; the molten salt temperature in the medium-temperature hot salt tank 29 is at least 5℃ higher than the outlet feedwater temperature of the high-pressure regenerator group 11 under the rated load of the coal-fired power generation system; the molten salt temperature in the medium-temperature cold salt tank 25 is at least 5℃ higher than the outlet feedwater temperature of the feedwater pump 10 under the rated load of the coal-fired power generation system. The advantage is that while avoiding an excessively large heat exchange area, it also ensures a sufficient heat exchange temperature difference, guaranteeing the normal operation of the heat exchange process of the molten salt thermal storage system under wide load conditions.
[0020] Measures to ensure the normal operation of the molten salt thermal storage system include: during deep peak shaving, coordinating the operation of condensate pump 7 and feedwater pump 10, and the opening of main steam diversion valve 23 and reheat steam diversion valve 30 to ensure that the molten salt temperature in the high-temperature cold salt tank 18, high-temperature hot salt tank 22, medium-temperature cold salt tank 25, and medium-temperature hot salt tank 29 is within the required range; during the heat release phase of the molten salt thermal storage system, coordinating the operation of high-temperature hot salt pump 36 and medium-temperature hot salt pump 32, and the opening of feedwater diversion valve 35, molten salt steam generator diversion valve 39, high-temperature hot salt valve 37, and medium-temperature hot salt valve 33 to ensure that the heat exchange pinch point temperature in the molten salt steam generator 38 is higher than 5℃. The advantage lies in fully utilizing existing regulation methods in the coal-fired power generation system and the molten salt thermal storage system to ensure the normal operation of the molten salt thermal storage system and to guarantee its operational flexibility.
[0021] An operation method for a coal-fired power generation system based on zero output of a high-pressure cylinder and extraction steam thermal storage is as follows: 1) When the coal-fired power generation system requires deep peak shaving, close the main steam valve 12, the first steam shut-off valve 14, and the second steam shut-off valve group 16; open the high-pressure cylinder exhaust valve 15 and the main reheat steam connecting valve 17. A small amount of reheat steam enters the high-pressure cylinder 2 as cooling steam and flows to the condenser 6, with the high-pressure cylinder in a zero-output state; open the main steam diversion valve 23, the reheat steam diversion valve 30, and the high-pressure regenerator group steam control valve group 24. After all the main steam releases superheated heat in the main steam molten salt heat exchanger 21, it is divided into two paths: one path flows to the cold section reheat steam inlet of boiler 1, and the other path flows to the high-pressure regenerator after being regulated by the high-pressure regenerator group steam control valve group 24. At the steam inlet of unit 11, a large amount of hot-section reheat steam releases heat from the superheated and latent heat sections in the reheat steam molten salt heat exchanger 28, and then flows sequentially through the feedwater preheater 31 and the low-pressure regenerator group 8, reducing the output power of generator 5. On the molten salt side, the molten salt in the high-temperature cold salt tank 18 flows sequentially through the high-temperature cold salt pump 19 and the high-temperature cold salt valve 20, and after absorbing heat from the superheated section of the main steam in the main steam molten salt heat exchanger 21, it flows to the high-temperature hot salt tank 22. The molten salt in the medium-temperature cold salt tank 25 flows sequentially through the medium-temperature cold salt pump 26 and the medium-temperature cold salt valve 27, and after absorbing heat from the superheated and latent heat sections of the hot-section reheat steam in the reheat steam molten salt heat exchanger 28, it flows to the medium-temperature hot salt tank 29. 2) When the coal-fired power generation system needs to rapidly increase the load, the feedwater diversion valve 35 and the molten salt steam generator diversion valve 39 are opened. The feedwater enters the molten salt feedwater heat exchanger 34 and absorbs heat before being divided into two paths: one path flows to the feedwater inlet of boiler 1; the other path enters the molten salt steam generator 38 after passing through the molten salt steam generator diversion valve 39 and absorbs heat to become superheated steam. After being regulated by the supplementary steam regulating valve 40, it merges with the hot section reheat steam and enters the turbine to do work, increasing the output power of generator 5. On the molten salt side, the medium-temperature hot salt in the medium-temperature hot salt tank 29 flows sequentially through the medium-temperature hot salt pump 32 and the medium-temperature hot salt valve 33 to preheat the feedwater in the molten salt feedwater heat exchanger 34. The high-temperature hot salt in the high-temperature hot salt tank 22 flows sequentially through the high-temperature hot salt pump 36 and the high-temperature hot salt valve 37 to heat the diverted feedwater in the molten salt steam generator 38 to generate superheated steam. 3) When the coal-fired power generation system does not require deep peak shaving and rapid load increase, the heat storage circuit and heat release circuit of the molten salt thermal storage system are in thermal standby mode, and the coal-fired power generation system is in normal operating condition.
[0022] This invention incorporates high-pressure cylinder zero-output technology and a molten salt thermal storage system into a coal-fired power generation system. While ensuring the safe and stable operation of the boiler, it not only significantly reduces the external power output of the coal-fired power generation system but also enables rapid adjustment of the external power output. The synergistic use of high-temperature and medium-temperature molten salt in the molten salt thermal storage system achieves full storage and utilization of steam thermal energy, significantly enhancing the operational flexibility of the coal-fired power generation system.

Those skilled in the art should understand that, based on the technical solutions disclosed in the present invention, various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative effort should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
