Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a steam turbine power generation system, in particular to a high-efficiency steam turbine power generation system. Background Art

[0002] During the power generation process of a thermal power condensing steam turbine generator set, the exhaust steam of the steam turbine must be re-condensed through circulating water, condenser, cooling water tower or air cooler, air cooling tower to form condensate. After the pressure is increased by the condensate pump, it is heated by the low-pressure heater, deaerator and high-pressure heater of the steam turbine and then supplied to the boiler, which is then heated to form superheated steam and enters the steam turbine for operation.

[0003] During the condensation process of steam turbine exhaust, a large amount of heat in the low-temperature, low-pressure exhaust steam of the turbine (generally accounting for about 45% of the heat utilized by the entire generator set) is discharged into the atmosphere after heat exchange through the cooling water tower (or air cooler, air cooling tower).

[0012] This utility model is a high-efficiency steam turbine power generation system that uses heat pump equipment to extract heat from steam turbine exhaust for utilization. Compared with existing steam turbine power generation systems, it has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. This high-efficiency steam turbine power generation system recovers 100% of the heat from the exhaust (exhaust steam) of a condensing steam turbine. Taking a 300,000-kilowatt wet-cooled unit as an example, under operating conditions of 75% load, 570 tons of exhaust per hour, 0.005 MPa pressure, and 32°C, the latent heat of vaporization per kilogram of exhaust gas is approximately 2422 kJ / kg. The latent heat of vaporization of 570 tons of exhaust gas is equivalent to 47.19 tons of standard coal. This means that by fully recovering the latent heat of vaporization from the exhaust steam under these operating conditions and heating the turbine condensate, this device can save 47.19 tons of standard coal per hour. This amount of coal accounts for 52% of the unit's full-load coal consumption (calculated at 300 grams per kilowatt-hour). The amount of coal saved is enormous, and the corresponding unit exhaust volume is also significantly reduced due to this coal saving. The corresponding fan consumption and the operating capacity of environmental protection equipment are also greatly reduced. The environmental problems caused by the exhaust of the corresponding thermal power units are also greatly alleviated, which greatly promotes the country's carbon emission reduction efforts. For wet-cooled units, since they do not use water tower cooling to cool the exhaust of the steam turbine, their cooling water consumption of approximately 600 tons per hour is eliminated. There is no need to build cooling water towers (air coolers, air cooling towers) and corresponding supporting measures when building new condensing units. This can greatly reduce the cost of condensing steam turbines.

[0014] 2. The high-efficiency steam turbine power generation system of this utility model can eliminate the cooling water tower (or air cooler, air cooling tower) in the steam turbine auxiliary equipment and the corresponding design, equipment purchase, project construction land occupation, etc., thus reducing huge engineering construction costs;

[0015] 3. This utility model's high-efficiency steam turbine power generation system can significantly increase the condensate temperature and turbine vacuum of operating units, reduce the steam extraction volume of the turbine's heat recovery and extraction system, and improve the efficiency of the steam turbine generator set. This significantly reduces coal consumption and the corresponding carbon dioxide emissions, helping to accelerate the fulfillment of China's commitment to reducing carbon dioxide emissions to the world.

[0016] 4. The use of cooling water towers (air coolers and cooling towers) can be reduced during operation, significantly reducing evaporation from cooling water towers (for a 300,000-kilowatt unit, for example, escaping and dispersing water can reach 600 tons per hour). This reduces the impact of heat dissipation from air-cooled units on ambient temperature, as well as the power consumption of the corresponding auxiliary equipment. This saves a significant amount of water resources and significantly reduces generator operating costs.

[0017] 5. By utilizing this high-efficiency steam turbine power generation system, heat can be extracted from the turbine exhaust. Without major modifications to the turbine itself, this system can be used to provide heating in the winter and cooling in the summer by adding heat exchangers, coolers, and existing urban heating networks. This significantly increases the urban heating area without increasing turbine exhaust volume. Power generation companies can achieve greater heating and cooling benefits.

[0018] 6. Although the high-efficiency steam turbine power generation system of the present invention only replaces the condenser in the existing steam turbine power generation system with a heat pump, it effectively integrates the heat pump into the steam turbine power generation system, and the above-mentioned effects it brings are unexpected.
