Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of nuclear power generation, in particular to a secondary reheat power generation system for ultra-supercritical parameters of a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor. Background Art
[0002] Nuclear power generation technology, one of the primary power generation technologies worldwide, has long been a key developmental technology for major economies. With increasingly stringent international regulations on greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions, nuclear energy, as a major clean energy source, is once again facing significant development opportunities. High-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs), as fourth-generation nuclear power generation technology, are a hot research and development area for major economies due to their inherent safety, high power generation efficiency, and ability to utilize process heat.
[0003] However, due to the high conservatism of existing steam generators (using linear elastic methods for material fatigue-creep analysis), only subcritical superheated steam can be generated through heat exchange. The parameters of the heat exchange tubes and steam are difficult to further improve, thus limiting the further improvement of power generation efficiency.
[0004] As technology advances, high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) will move toward larger capacities and higher parameters to improve unit cycle efficiency. When unit parameters are raised to ultra-supercritical levels, the increased initial pressure will lead to increased humidity in the final stages of the turbine, increasing wet steam losses. Excessive exhaust steam humidity will also shorten the life of the final stages' blades, impacting the unit's safe operation. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a secondary reheat power generation system with ultra-supercritical parameters of a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor in response to the demand for high-capacity and high-parameter development and efficiency improvement of high-temperature gas-cooled reactor units, which can increase steam temperature, reduce the humidity of the final stage, and effectively improve power generation efficiency.

[0010] Preferably, a flow valve is provided between the connection outlet of the reactor and the gas side inlet of the steam generator, the primary steam reheater and the secondary steam reheater respectively.
[0011] Preferably, the steam extraction outlets of the turbine ultra-high pressure cylinder, the turbine high pressure cylinder, the turbine intermediate pressure cylinder and the turbine low pressure cylinder are respectively connected to several feedwater heaters, the steam extraction outlets of the turbine ultra-high pressure cylinder, the turbine high pressure cylinder, the turbine intermediate pressure cylinder and the turbine low pressure cylinder are connected to the steam side of the feedwater heater, the water side inlet of the feedwater heater is connected to the condenser outlet, and the water side outlet of the feedwater heater is connected to the water side inlet of the steam generator.

[0015] Compared with conventional technologies, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0016] After the parameters of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor unit in this utility model are increased to ultra-supercritical, the humidity in the final stage of the steam turbine increases, resulting in greater wet steam losses.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the secondary reheat power generation system for ultra-supercritical parameters of a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor described in the present invention includes a reactor 1, a steam generator 2, a primary steam reheater 3, a secondary steam reheater 4, a steam turbine ultra-high pressure cylinder 5, a steam turbine high pressure cylinder 6, a steam turbine intermediate pressure cylinder 7, a steam turbine low pressure cylinder 8, ten feed water heaters and a condenser 19.
[0022] The gas outlet of the reactor 1 is connected to the gas side inlets of the steam generator 2, the primary steam reheater 3 and the secondary steam reheater 4 respectively. The gas side outlets of the steam generator 2, the primary steam reheater 3 and the secondary steam reheater 3 are connected to the gas inlet of the reactor 1. The gas at the gas outlet of the reactor 1 is helium.
[0023] A flow valve 20 is installed between the connection outlet of reactor 1 and the gas-side inlet of steam generator 2, primary steam reheater 3, and secondary steam reheater 4. The flow valve 20 adjusts the gas flow entering the steam heater and steam reheater based on the actual steam flow to ensure consistent outlet temperatures.
[0024] The steam side outlet of the steam generator 2 is connected in sequence to the steam turbine ultra-high pressure cylinder 5, the steam turbine high pressure cylinder 6, the steam turbine intermediate pressure cylinder 7, the steam turbine low pressure cylinder 8, the condenser 19, the steam sides of ten feed water heaters and the water side inlet of the steam generator 2; the exhaust outlet and the extraction outlet of the steam turbine intermediate pressure cylinder 7 are both connected to the inlet of the steam turbine low pressure cylinder 8.
[0025] The steam turbine ultra-high pressure cylinder 5 is provided with a steam extraction outlet, which is connected to the steam side inlet of the first feed water heater 9 .
[0026] Two steam extraction outlets are provided on the high-pressure cylinder 6 of the steam turbine, and the two steam extraction outlets on the high-pressure cylinder 6 of the steam turbine are connected to the steam side inlets of the second feedwater heater 10 and the third feedwater heater 11 respectively.
[0027] The intermediate pressure cylinder 7 of the steam turbine is provided with three steam extraction outlets, which are connected to the steam side inlets of the fourth feedwater heater 12, the fifth feedwater heater 13 and the sixth feedwater heater 14 respectively.
[0028] The low-pressure cylinder 8 of the steam turbine is provided with four steam extraction outlets, which are respectively connected to the steam side inlets of the seventh feedwater heater 15, the eighth feedwater heater 16, the ninth feedwater heater 17 and the tenth feedwater heater 18.
[0029] The high-temperature helium coming out of the reactor 1 is divided into three streams, which enter the gas-side inlet of the steam generator 2, the primary steam reheater 3, and the secondary steam reheater 4 respectively to heat the steam, and then return to the reactor 1 to complete the cycle; the feed water from the condenser 19 enters the water-side inlet of the steam generator 2, absorbs the heat from the gas side of the steam generator 2 and becomes superheated steam. After the superheated steam enters the super-high-pressure cylinder 5 of the steam turbine, it drives the rotor of the high-pressure cylinder 5 to rotate and do work; the steam from the exhaust outlet of the super-high-pressure cylinder 5 enters the steam-side inlet of the primary steam reheater 3 for reheating, and then enters the high-pressure cylinder 6 of the steam turbine to The exhaust steam of the high-pressure cylinder 6 of the steam turbine enters the steam side inlet of the secondary steam reheater 4 for reheating, and then enters the intermediate-pressure cylinder 7 of the steam turbine to perform work. The steam of the exhaust steam of the intermediate-pressure cylinder 7 of the steam turbine enters the low-pressure cylinder 8 of the steam turbine. The steam after the low-pressure cylinder 8 of the steam turbine has performed work is discharged from the exhaust outlet and is called exhaust steam. The exhaust steam is cooled by cooling water in the condenser 19 and condensed into water again. It is heated in turn by the extraction steam of the low-pressure cylinder 8 of the steam turbine, the intermediate-pressure cylinder 7 of the steam turbine, the high-pressure cylinder 6 of the steam turbine and the ultra-high-pressure cylinder 5 of the steam turbine on the water side of the ten feedwater heaters, and then enters the water side of the steam generator 2 to complete a cycle.
