Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of carbon emission calculation of thermal power generation units, and specifically relates to a calculation method for carbon emissions of thermal power generation units, a calculation device for carbon emissions of thermal power generation units, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium.

Background Art

[0002] Even now, the proportion of electrical energy generated by thermal power generation in household and industrial electricity consumption is still high, and the investigation of carbon emissions from thermal power generation units has great significance. Generally, carbon emissions are measured using an actuarial method and a continuous emission monitoring system method. The continuous emission monitoring system method already has a certain foundation, but the existing technology depends on the principle of "mainly actuarial and supplemented by monitoring". At the current stage, the power generation industry adopts an actuarial method to quantify carbon emissions. Among them, calculating the carbon emissions of thermal power generation units based on energy consumption is one of the actuarial methods.

[0003] While there are many research methods and analyses on the energy consumption of conventional coal-fired power generation units, and the calculation methods are mature with many achievements, there is basically no agreement on the calculation method for energy consumption. Direct balance statistical methods have large calculation errors, and it is difficult to avoid or reduce errors by better means or methods, so indirect balance calculation methods are usually used to determine and evaluate the energy consumption of units. Indirect balance calculation methods calculate the test coal consumption under a load by determining the steam turbine heat consumption, boiler efficiency, in-house efficiency, and pipeline efficiency under a certain load condition through performance tests, and then obtain the corrected energy consumption, i.e., the standard energy consumption of the unit, after correcting the boundary conditions to the design boundary conditions through correction calculations. Based on energy consumption studies, the operating energy consumption at a specific load point of the unit is obtained by calculating the influence coefficient of energy consumption caused by the deviation between actual boundary conditions and design values, the carbon emission result of the thermal power generation unit at this load is obtained, and the carbon emissions of the unit over a specific period are obtained by weighted statistics. However, existing calculation methods do not take into account the difference between daily operating values ​​and design values ​​for parameters, nor the actual carbon content of the burning coal at the time of complete combustion, resulting in inaccurate calculations of carbon emissions.

Example 1

[0021] As shown in Figure 1, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for calculating carbon emissions from a thermal power generation unit, comprising the following steps 1 to 4.

[0022] Step 1: Obtain the total operating load interval of the thermal power generation unit within a predetermined operating period.

[0023] Step 2: Based on the total operating load section of the thermal power generation unit and the pre-set basic load points, determine all characteristic load points of the thermal power generation unit within the total operating load section.

[0025] Step 4: Based on the actual carbon emissions of all characteristic load points, determine the actual total carbon emissions of the thermal power generation unit during the predetermined operating period.

[0026] Specifically, during the operation of a thermal power generation unit within a predetermined operating period, its operating load typically changes linearly; that is, as operating time progresses, the operating load increases or decreases, and the operating load does not jump over time. Step 102, which determines all characteristic load points of the thermal power generation unit within the total operating load section based on the total operating load section of the thermal power generation unit and a preset basic load point, can be understood as each characteristic load point corresponding to one sub-load section of the thermal power generation unit, and all sub-load sections being combined to obtain the complete total operating load section.

[0027] Furthermore, the step of determining all characteristic load points of the thermal power generation unit within the total operating load section, based on the total operating load section of the thermal power generation unit and the preset basic load points, If the minimum operating load within the total operating load section is equal to or greater than the preset basic load point, Both the minimum and maximum operating loads within the total operating load section are determined as load points. Starting from the aforementioned preset basic load point, and according to the first preset interval, other load points other than those corresponding to the minimum and maximum operating loads are sequentially determined within the total operating load section. The steps include determining the average load of two adjacent load points within the total operating load section as a characteristic load point, If the maximum operating load within the aforementioned total operating load section is less than or equal to the predetermined basic load point, Both the minimum and maximum operating loads within the total operating load section are determined as load points. Starting from the aforementioned preset basic load point, and according to a second preset interval, other load points within the total operating load section, excluding the load points corresponding to the minimum and maximum operating loads, are determined in sequence. The steps include determining the average load of two adjacent load points within the total operating load section as a characteristic load point, If the aforementioned preset basic load point is within the total operating load section, The pre-set basic load point, the minimum operating load within the total operating load section, and the maximum operating load are all determined as load points. Starting from the aforementioned preset basic load point, and according to a first preset interval, other load points other than the basic load point and the load point corresponding to the maximum operating load are sequentially determined between the preset basic load point and the load point corresponding to the maximum operating load within the total operating load section. Starting from the aforementioned preset basic load point, and according to a second preset interval, other load points other than the basic load point and the load point corresponding to the minimum operating load are determined between the preset basic load point and the load point corresponding to the minimum operating load within the total operating load section. The process includes the step of determining the average load of two adjacent load points within the total operating load section as a characteristic load point.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, we will explain using the example where a 55% load is the preset basic load point, the first preset amount is set to 10% of the reference test load, and the total operating load section of the thermal power generation unit is 60% to 90%. In this case, if the minimum operating load of 60% is 55% or higher than the basic load point, first, the minimum operating load of 60% and the maximum operating load of 90% are determined as load points, and the maximum load p of actual operation is determined based on the preset reference load point. max Until this is achieved, determine one load point for every 10% increase, and set the minimum load p min From the highest load p max All load points p within the above load interval m Obtain such a load point p. m This includes operating loads of 60%, 65%, 75%, 85%, and 90%. (p m +p m+1 Using ) / 2 as the characteristic load, all characteristic load points in the total operating load section are determined. These characteristic load points include characteristic load point 62.5%, characteristic load point 70%, characteristic load point 80%, and characteristic load point 87.5%. The steam turbine heat consumption (H) corresponding to these is determined. Pm +H Pm+1 ) / 2, boiler efficiency (η Pm +η Pm+1 ) / 2, local rate (L Pm +L Pm+1 ) / 2 is p m from p m+1 Features corresponding to the load section: Steam turbine heat consumption H Pm Features boiler efficiency η Pm , characteristic in-house rate L Pm Represents p m from p m+1 The average value of the operating parameters in the load interval represents the operating parameters under the corresponding characteristic load.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, we will explain using the example where a 55% load is the preset basic load point, the first preset amount is set to 5% of the reference test load, and the total operating load section of the thermal power generation unit is 30% to 50%. In this case, if the maximum operating load of 50% is less than the basic load point of 55%, first, the minimum operating load of 30% and the maximum operating load of 50% are determined as load points, and the maximum load p is set based on the preset reference load point. max From minimum load p min All load points p within the load interval m Determine one load point for every 5% increase until you obtain the desired result. These load points include operating load 50%, operating load 45%, operating load 40%, and operating load 35%. Determine all feature load points within the total operating load interval, and (p n +p n-1 The feature load is defined as ) / 2, and this feature load includes feature load points 47.5%, 42.5%, and 37.5%. The steam turbine heat consumption corresponding to these is (H Pn +H Pn-1 ) / 2, boiler efficiency (η Pn +η Pn-1 ) / 2, local rate (L Pn +L Pn-1 ) / 2 is p n-1 from p n Features corresponding to the load section: Steam turbine heat consumption H Pn Features boiler efficiency η Pn , characteristic in-house rate L Pn Represents p n-1 from p n The average value of the load interval operating parameters represents the operating parameters at the corresponding characteristic load.

[0030] If the aforementioned pre-set basic load point falls within the total operating load section of the thermal power generation unit, the method for determining the characteristic load point is the same as the method described above, and therefore will not be explained in detail here.
