Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of power transmission and distribution, and specifically discloses a wiring structure suitable for start-stop and standby power supply of a thermal power plant. Background Art

[0002] The development and construction of my country's power industry has entered a phase characterized by large power grids, large generating units, and (ultra-) ultra-high voltage transmission. Generators of 300MW and above have become the mainstay of the power system, and the safe and full power generation of these units plays a vital role in the system. Properly connecting starting / backup power sources helps ensure successful unit startup, safe and continuous full power generation, facilitates operation and maintenance, saves construction investment, reduces operating costs, and enhances the competitiveness of power plant on-grid electricity prices.

[0003] Generally, thermal power plants use generator sets to provide the power required for auxiliary power generation and factory energy consumption. The backup power supply is connected in parallel to the plant's 10KV working bus. When the generator set is under maintenance or a line fault occurs, the backup power supply becomes an alternative power source. However, the backup power supply is generally taken from the power grid, and thermal power plants are generally equipped with multiple units. When one unit has a maintenance problem, the other units can still provide power. At this time, if the backup power supply is started to feed power back through the power grid, there will be unnecessary losses both in terms of economic benefits and environmental protection and energy saving. Moreover, the frequent activation of the backup power supply also reduces its own reliability. How to build a new model of backup power supply architecture to reduce the above losses and improve the transmission efficiency and economy while ensuring the normal operation of maintenance work such as shutdown and maintenance is a problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the technical problems listed in the background technology, the present invention provides a wiring structure suitable for starting and stopping thermal power plants and for backup power supply. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0005] A wiring structure suitable for start-up and shutdown and backup power supply of a thermal power plant, comprising a power generation line and a plant power branch; the power generation line comprises a generator set and a main transformer connected via a circuit breaker; the plant power branch is tapped from the low-voltage side of the main transformer and comprises a high-voltage plant transformer, a 10kV working bus section, a 10kV standby bus section, and a high-voltage standby transformer, which are sequentially connected via a circuit breaker; wherein the high-voltage plant transformer and the high-voltage standby transformer both have a split structure on the low-voltage side, and the high-voltage standby transformer provides backup power for the power plant; the 10kV working bus section and the 10kV standby bus section both have a twin double-circuit configuration.

[0006] Preferably, one set of high-voltage backup transformers can provide backup power for up to four power generation lines.

[0008] Preferably, the circuit breakers connected between the high-voltage plant transformer, 10kV working bus section, 10kV standby bus section, and high-voltage standby transformer are used for switching the starting power supply, shutdown power supply, and standby power supply of the generator in the thermal power plant.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0010] The utility model provides a wiring structure suitable for starting and stopping and standby power supply of a thermal power plant, which can meet the starting and stopping and standby power supply requirements of four generator sets under normal working conditions.

[0011] This wiring structure allows the unit's high-voltage auxiliary transformer to provide power for maintenance, lighting, and commissioning after shutdown to other shut-down units, without using a backup transformer, provided the unit's high-voltage auxiliary transformer meets the required capacity. This improves the reliability of the plant's backup power supply, enhances the flexibility and economy of auxiliary power, and significantly improves the plant's operation and maintenance efficiency, which is of great significance to the long-term stable operation and maintenance of the power plant.

[0020] The four units are equipped with a split-structure high-voltage standby transformer T01. Two sections of 10kV standby busbars, 01A and 01B, are installed for the four units. The 110kV standby power supply line near the power plant is connected to the 10kV standby busbars 01A and 01B respectively through the high-voltage standby transformer T01.

[0021] The 10kV standby bus 01A is connected to the 10kV working bus 10A of the first unit G10, the 10kV working bus 20A of the second unit G20, the 10kV working bus 30A of the third unit G30, and the 10kV working bus 40A of the fourth unit G40 through the connecting circuit breakers DL011A, DL012A, DL013A, and DL014A respectively.

[0022] The four units' high-voltage plant transformers T10~T40 use large-capacity split-structure high-voltage transformers, and the standby transformer T01 uses a split-structure high-voltage transformer with a capacity not less than that of a single high-voltage plant transformer.

[0023] The operation control modes that can be achieved by each circuit breaker combination include but are not limited to the following:

[0024] When units G10-G40 start, GCB10-GCB40 are disconnected, DL10A, DL10B, DL20A, DL20B, DL30A, DL30B, DL40A, and DL40B are closed, DL01A and DL01B are disconnected, and DL011A-DL014A and DL011B-DL014B are disconnected. Unit startup power is supplied from the system via main transformers T1-T4 and high-voltage auxiliary transformers T10-T04 to 10kV sections 10A-40A and 10kV sections 10B-40B, respectively. Standby transformer T01 is in hot standby mode. 10kV standby sections 01A and 01B are de-energized.

[0025] During normal operation of units G10-G40, generating electricity through main transformers T1-T4 and connected to the grid, GCB10-GCB40 are closed, DL10A, DL10B, DL20A, DL20B, DL30A, DL30B, DL40A, and DL40B are closed, DL01A and DL01B are disconnected, and DL011A-DL014A and DL011B-DL014B are disconnected. Auxiliary power is supplied from units G10-G40 via high-voltage auxiliary working transformers T10-T40 to 10kV working bus sections 10A-40A and 10kV working bus sections 10B-40B, respectively. High-voltage standby transformer T01 is in hot standby mode. 10kV standby sections 01A and 01B are de-energized.

[0026] When units G10~G40 are shut down normally, GCB10~GCB40 are closed, DL10A, DL10B, DL20A, DL20B, DL30A, DL30B, DL40A, DL40B are closed, DL01A and DL01B are disconnected, and DL011A~DL014A, DL011B~DL014B are disconnected. Auxiliary power is supplied from generators G10-G40 via high-voltage auxiliary transformers T10-T40 to 10kV busbar sections 10A-40A and 10kV busbar sections 10B-40B.

Standby transformer T01 is in hot standby mode. 10kV standby sections 01A and 01B are de-energized.

Then, it is sent to 10kV working bus sections 10A and 10B of G10 unit through 10kV standby bus sections 01A and 01B.

[0030] (2) When at least one other unit is operating normally (taking G20 operation as an example), the operation is as follows: after confirming that the capacity of T20 high-voltage plant transformer meets the conditions for G20 operation and G10 commissioning or maintenance, GCB10 is disconnected, DL10A and DL10B are disconnected, DL01A and DL01B are disconnected, DL011A, DL011B, DL012A and DL012B are closed, DL013A to DL014A are disconnected, DL013B to DL014B are disconnected, and the power supply for G10 unit commissioning or maintenance is sent to G10 unit 10kV working bus sections 10A and 10B through G20 10kV working bus sections 20A and 20B and 10kV standby bus sections 01A and 01B.
