[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the various embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that many technical details are presented in the various embodiments of this application to facilitate a better understanding of the application. However, the technical solutions claimed in this application can be implemented even without these technical details and various variations and modifications based on the following embodiments. The division of the various embodiments below is for ease of description and should not constitute any limitation on the specific implementation of this application. The various embodiments can be combined with and referenced by each other without contradiction.

[0022] Currently, existing technologies present the problem of how to treat pressurized combustible gases before they enter the boiler in order to meet the combustion requirements.

[0023] To address the aforementioned problems, one embodiment of this application provides a system for pressurized gas co-firing in a coal-fired power plant boiler, comprising:

[0024] The power plant boiler 1 uses coal as the main fuel to produce high-temperature and high-pressure steam, and the steam turbine generator 3 uses the high-temperature and high-pressure steam to generate electricity.

[0025] The power plant boiler 1 can co-fire pressurized combustible gas to aid combustion or replace part of the raw coal. Optionally, in addition to pulverized coal burners, the power plant boiler 1 is also equipped with gas fuel burners. The combustible gas is burned in the power plant boiler 1 through the gas fuel burners, which plays a role in aiding combustion or replacing part of the coal. It should be noted that "pressurized" in this application refers to the pressure of the pressurized combustible gas being higher than the gas fuel inlet pressure of a conventional power plant boiler 1.

[0026] The pressurized combustible gas can be a mixed gas (containing at least carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen) produced by the gasifier 4 through coal gasification, or hydrogen separated from the mixed gas, or hydrogen stored in other ways. Generally, the mixed gas produced by the gasifier 4 and the hydrogen obtained by separating the mixed gas are both in a high-pressure state as described in this application. Therefore, this application provides a pressure reducing device, which is located upstream of the power plant boiler 1. It can reduce the pressure of the pressurized combustible gas to a low pressure before sending it into the power plant boiler 1 to meet the pressure conditions for co-firing in the power plant boiler 1.

[0027] In one optional embodiment of this application, the pressure reducing device is a gas turbine 21, that is, a gas turbine 21 is provided upstream of the power plant boiler 1; the gas turbine 21 can generate electricity by burning pressurized combustible gas and obtain depressurized high-temperature flue gas; the high-temperature flue gas still contains high heat, generally 500-600℃, so the high-temperature flue gas is transported to the power plant boiler 1 to participate in the production of steam, which not only reduces the pressure of the pressurized combustible gas (converted into high-temperature flue gas), but also makes full and gradual use of its calorific value.

[0028] Preferably, the electricity generated by the gas turbine 21 is incorporated into the plant's power supply or directly supplied to users.

[0029] In one optional embodiment of this application, the pressure-reducing device turbine power generation unit 22 generates electricity using the pressure of pressurized combustible gas. For example, the pressure of the mixed gas produced by the gasifier 4 gasifying coal is 4-6 MPa, and the pressure of the turbine power generation unit 22 after generating electricity is 0.3-0.4 MPa, which can meet the requirements of co-firing in the power plant boiler 1. This method not only obtains electrical energy, but also reduces the pressure of the pressurized combustible gas. The composition of the combustible gas after depressurization remains basically unchanged, and it continues to burn and produce steam in the power plant boiler 1.

[0030] Preferably, the turbine power generation unit 22 produces green electricity, which can be used as power for the coal-fired power plant or directly supplied to users.

[0031] In one optional embodiment of this application, the pressure reducing device is a regulating valve 23. Before the pressurized combustible gas enters, such as in a power plant boiler 1, the pressure is adjusted by the regulating valve 23 to meet the conditions for co-firing in the boiler.

[0032] In an optional embodiment of this application, the pressure-reducing device is a gas storage tank 24, which can store pressurized combustible gas and reduce its pressure, for example, with a volume of 400M³. 2 The hydrogen storage tank has an internal pressure of 1-2 MPa, and the inlet pressure of the combustible gas can be further adjusted by adjusting the outlet flow rate.

[0033] In the above embodiments, the gas turbine 21, turbine power generation device 22, regulating valve 23, and gas storage tank 24 can be installed individually upstream of the power plant boiler 1, or they can be installed in combination. For example, the regulating valve 23 can be installed between the turbine power generation device 22 and the power plant boiler 1, or between the gas storage tank 24 and the power plant boiler 1, to further control the inlet pressure of the combustible gas.

[0034] In a pressurized gas co-firing system for a coal-fired power plant boiler according to this application, the power plant boiler 1 uses coal as the main fuel to produce steam, and can also burn combustible gas to assist combustion or replace part of the coal. The pressure reducing device reduces the pressure of the pressurized combustible gas before sending it into the power plant boiler 1 for combustion to meet the pressure requirements for co-firing. Specifically, the gas turbine 21 upstream of the coal-fired boiler reduces the pressure of the pressurized combustible gas while making full and gradual use of its calorific value. The turbine power generation device 22 not only uses the pressure of the pressurized combustible gas to generate electricity, but also plays a role in reducing the pressure. The gas storage tank 24 and the regulating valve 23 can temporarily store and regulate the pressure of the pressurized combustible gas so that the combustible gas is co-fired according to the power generation load of the power plant boiler 1.
