Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas-fired power plant construction technology, and in particular to the coupling structure of a gas-fired power plant and an LNG emergency gas source station. Background Technology
[0002] A gas-fired power plant uses natural gas as fuel and employs a circulating system consisting of a gas turbine, a generator, a waste heat boiler, and a steam turbine. It recovers the high-temperature exhaust gas from the gas turbine through the waste heat boiler, converts it into steam, and then injects the steam into the steam turbine to generate electricity. It can also supply steam to the outside world.
[0003] Gas turbines typically require a natural gas inlet pressure greater than 3.0 MPa and an inlet temperature greater than 30°C. In a typical gas-fired power plant system: pipeline natural gas (inlet pressure generally greater than 4.0 MPa) is filtered, metered, heated, and pressure-regulated to reach the temperature and pressure required by the gas turbine (e.g., pressure 3.0 MPa, temperature 30°C) before being sent to the combustion chamber of the gas turbine to mix and burn with air from the compressor. The combustion of the gas drives a generator to produce electricity. Some unburned natural gas enters a preheating boiler to produce steam. Part of the steam is sent out, and part is sent to the turbine to generate electricity. The condensate is cooled by circulating cooling water and then pressurized by a condensate pump before being sent to a waste heat boiler. The circulating cooling water is heated and then cooled in a cooling tower before being recycled.
[0004] To prevent pipeline natural gas failures from affecting gas supply security, gas-fired power plants are generally equipped with LNG emergency gas source stations, which can also provide natural gas for gas turbines.
[0005] like Figure 1 As shown, the specific structure of the LNG emergency gas source station in the gas-fired power plant is as follows:
[0006] LNG is unloaded from tank trucks and stored in LNG storage tanks. A portion of it is vaporized and heated in an LNG ambient temperature vaporizer, then pressure-regulated by a self-use gas skid before being sent to a hot water boiler to supply hot water to the water bath heater.
[0007] The gas turbine generally requires the natural gas inlet pressure to be greater than 3.0 MPa, and therefore a part of the LNG is boosted to 3.2 MPa by the LNG cryogenic pump and then is sent to the LNG high-pressure air temperature vaporizer for vaporization. Since the gas consumption of the gas power plant is large, the general gas consumption is 20-100 thousand cubic meters per hour, and the common scale of the high-pressure air temperature vaporizer is 5000 cubic meters per hour. The air temperature vaporizer is prone to frost formation during operation, which leads to a decrease in the vaporization capacity, and a plurality of groups of the air temperature vaporizer need to be set for switching use. Therefore, 8-40 air temperature vaporizers need to be set. The temperature of the natural gas after being vaporized by the air temperature vaporizer is greater than 5 DEG C of the air dew point temperature, and when the temperature of the natural gas out of the air temperature vaporizer is lower than -10 DEG C in winter, the natural gas needs to be heated to above 0 DEG C by the water bath vaporizer heater, and finally the natural gas is filtered, metered and stabilized to be supplied to the gas power plant. The natural gas to the gas power plant also needs to pass through the heating device of the power plant to be supplied to the gas turbine.
[0008] The LNG emergency gas source station of the gas power plant needs to set the hot water boiler room to heat the natural gas, and therefore the LNG emergency gas source station of the gas power plant has a large area and a large investment.
[0009] Since the LNG emergency gas source station of the gas power plant and the gas power plant are close to each other in construction location, even adjacent to each other in construction, the gas power plant supplies steam, and the LNG emergency gas source station needs heat source for vaporization and heating of the LNG.
[0010] Therefore, how to organically combine the gas power plant and the LNG emergency gas source station to reduce the cost and improve the efficiency becomes a technical problem to be solved by the person skilled in the art. Practical new type content
