Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of new coal-fired power technology in thermal power plants, and specifically relates to a wide-load constant pressure boiler system. Background Technology
[0002] The new power system requires coal-fired power plants to possess flexible and efficient characteristics to cope with the volatility and uncertainty of new energy power generation. Flexibility includes multiple aspects such as deep adjustment, peak load, and high load change rate, with high load change rate referring to the ability of coal-fired power plants to rapidly adjust their output power in a short period. Currently, the boiler parameter design of conventional thermal power plants is entirely based on turbine parameters to ensure coordination and matching between the two. However, due to the significant difference in turbine inlet steam pressure between high and low loads, this leads to substantial changes in furnace temperature distribution. In particular, the main pressure drop of the turbine occurs in the high-pressure cylinder, a characteristic that further exacerbates the impact of load changes on the operating status of the turbine and boiler.
[0003] While existing power systems can achieve flexible operation to a certain extent, they still face a series of challenges under high load rate requirements. First, high load rates cause turbines and boilers to experience higher temperature and mechanical stresses, accelerating equipment wear and aging and adversely affecting equipment lifespan. Second, due to the close correlation between boiler and turbine parameters, the significant difference in turbine inlet pressure between high and low loads makes it difficult to maintain a stable temperature distribution, further increasing the difficulty of operation control. Therefore, it is necessary to design a boiler-turbine system that can solve the problems faced by current technologies. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wide-load constant-pressure turbine boiler system. The turbine in this system is a multi-high-pressure turbine system, which solves the problem that the temperature distribution is difficult to maintain due to the significant difference in the steam inlet pressure at high and low loads. This invention, by setting up a multi-high-pressure turbine system and a cold section regulating valve, synchronously reconstructs a heater regeneration scheme adapted to the multi-high-pressure turbine system, and through certain operational adjustment methods, keeps the steam at the turbine inlet at a high-pressure and stable level as much as possible.

One end of the second pipeline is connected to the other end of the boiler superheater, and the other end of the second pipeline is connected to both the No. 1 and No. 2 main steam valves.

This configuration helps maintain a high-pressure steam level during load changes, thereby improving the overall system efficiency. The main steam valve and cold-section regulating valve installed on the main steam pipeline enable precise control of steam flow. This synergistic effect allows the system to maintain the flow rate of the high-pressure cylinders by adjusting valve openings at different load stages, thus optimizing energy efficiency. The wide-load constant-pressure boiler system maintains a high-pressure steam level, indirectly increasing the feedwater temperature and helping to improve the economizer inlet working fluid temperature level under variable load conditions, making boiler operation more stable. The wide-load constant-pressure boiler system can flexibly respond to load changes, maintaining stable boiler operation by adjusting the steam flow of a single high-pressure cylinder. This reduces the impact of load changes on boiler lifespan and extends its service life. The configuration of multiple high-pressure cylinders and the flexible steam flow adjustment scheme enable the system to maintain stable operation when facing load changes, thereby improving system reliability. By optimizing steam flow and pressure, this system can reduce stress fatigue caused by variable loads, providing a safe and reliable solution for power production. Attached Figure Description
