TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to coal-fired power generation technical field, concretely relates to a coal-fired power generation system of heat and electricity decoupling. BACKGROUND
[0002] Coal plays an important role in energy structure, and coal-fired power units play a key role in energy security. Under the background of increasing proportion of new energy, coal-fired power units still have important role and significance: first, coal-fired power units can provide stable power supply: new energy power generation has intermittency and instability, and coal power can quickly fill the power gap when new energy output is insufficient, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power grid. Second, coal-fired power units can be used as peak shaving power: by adjusting the output flexibly, it balances the supply and demand of the power system in cooperation with new energy power generation.
[0003] However, the current coal-fired power unit faces some technical problems in deep peak shaving: first, the stability of boiler combustion: when running at low load, the furnace temperature decreases, and the combustion is insufficient, which can easily lead to accidents such as fire extinguishing and deflagration, affecting the safe operation of the boiler. Second, the poor adaptability of the thermal control system: the traditional control system is difficult to accurately control under large load changes, resulting in unstable operation of the unit. Third, the poor economy of low-load operation: coal consumption increases, and power generation costs rise, and more auxiliary equipment may need to be invested to maintain operation, further increasing costs. For small coal-fired units, the above three problems are more pronounced when deep peak shaving, which brings challenges to coal-fired units participating in grid peak shaving.
