TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a CCPP unit output promotion system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Steel enterprises will produce a large amount of by-product coal gas in the smelting process, including blast furnace gas, converter gas, coke oven gas and the like. In addition to the consumption of each smelting process, there will still be some surplus gas, especially blast furnace gas. In order to efficiently utilize the remaining gas, steel plants generally construct a coal gas generator set. Among them, CCPP (gas-steam combined cycle power generation) is higher than the conventional BTG (boiler-turbine generator) route, which is beneficial to the steel plant to improve the self-generation rate and reduce carbon emissions, has better comprehensive benefits, has been applied in many domestic steel plants, and has achieved good operation effect.
[0003] For most steel plants that build CCPP, the coal gas generator set adopts the combination configuration of CCPP unit and conventional BTG unit. In order to ensure that the maximum power generation benefit can be obtained under the same amount of gas, the steel plant will generally try to ensure that the CCPP unit with higher efficiency is in high load or even full load, and the BTG unit is used as a peak shaving unit to bear part of the load to consume the remaining fluctuating gas. This operation strategy can achieve the expected effect under normal circumstances, but in the summer high-temperature weather, the high ambient temperature will cause the output and efficiency of the CCPP unit to be lower than the design value, especially the unit output, which decreases very obviously. At this time, the output of the conventional BTG unit can only be increased to consume the gas corresponding to the decrease of the output of the CCPP unit, which will undoubtedly weaken the benefits of the steel plant. Therefore, how to improve the output capacity of the CCPP unit in high-temperature weather and increase the power generation proportion of the CCPP unit in summer is a common concern of each steel plant. SUMMARY
[0004] In order to overcome the above defects, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a CCPP unit output promotion system.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the CCPP unit output promotion system of the utility model, comprising a coal gas compressor, a coal gas inlet cooler and a combustion chamber connected in sequence, wherein:
[0006] The high-temperature coal gas output by the coal gas compressor is cooled by the coal gas inlet cooler and then passes into the combustion chamber.
[0007] Further, a coal gas dust remover is arranged upstream of the coal gas compressor for dust removal of the coal gas entering the coal gas compressor.
[0008] Further, the coal gas backflow cooler is further provided, and an inlet of the coal gas backflow cooler is communicated with the coal gas outlet of the coal gas compressor; a coal gas outlet of the coal gas backflow cooler is communicated with a coal gas inlet of the coal gas dust remover.
[0009] Further, the coal gas inlet cooler is a spray type coal gas inlet cooler.
[0010] Further, the coal gas inlet cooler is arranged on a coal gas vertical pipe from the coal gas compressor outlet to the combustion chamber.
[0011] Further, a drain device is arranged on a horizontal coal gas pipe from the coal gas inlet cooler to the combustion chamber, and the arrangement position includes before a valve, before a flow meter, before a flow regulating plate and at an upward elbow of the vertical pipe.
[0012] Further, the drain device is provided with a water accumulation detection device.
[0013] Further, the water accumulation detection device is a thermocouple, and whether water accumulation exists in the pipe is judged by detecting temperature change of the thermocouple.
[0014] Further, a water supply pump is arranged on a water inlet pipe of the coal gas inlet cooler to form atomized water drops with a standard particle size.
[0015] Further, the system further comprises an air compressor, a gas turbine, a waste heat boiler, a chimney and a generator.
[0016] An air outlet of the air compressor is communicated with the combustion chamber, the combustion chamber is sequentially communicated with the waste heat boiler and the chimney on a flue gas side, and waste gas at an outlet of the waste heat boiler is discharged to the atmosphere through the chimney;
[0017] The generator is drivingly connected with the coal gas compressor, the air compressor and the gas turbine through a shaft coupling or a gear box.
[0018] The system has the following advantages:
[0019] 1) The high-temperature coal gas at the outlet of the coal gas compressor is directly contacted and humidified and cooled, so that the coal gas is rapidly cooled, the summer output of the CCPP unit is improved, and the problem that the unit output is limited due to high ambient temperature and coal gas temperature in summer is solved.
[0020] 2) The cooling mode of directly spraying water mist is adopted, compared with the indirect cooling mode of heat exchange of the surface cooler, the influence on the coal gas side resistance is smaller, and because of the direct mixing contact, the coal gas cooling speed is faster.
[0021] 3) For most steel plants that have built CCPP (Capacitive Power Plant) generators, the gas-fired power generation units are configured in combination with conventional BTG (Blockchain Toll Collection) units. To ensure maximum power generation revenue with the same amount of gas, steel plants try to keep the more efficient CCPP units at high load or even full capacity during operation, while the BTG units act as peak-shaving units, absorbing part of the load to absorb excess fluctuating gas volume. However, during the high temperatures of summer, the output of CCPP units drops significantly, and the corresponding gas can only be used to generate electricity in the conventional BTG units, which undoubtedly causes economic losses. This patent can provide an effective means to improve the gas absorption capacity of CCPP units and enhance the efficiency of steel plant self-owned power plants during the summer.
