Description

A frequency regulation and peak regulation system for thermal power generation units CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the priority of the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on October 7, 2023, with application number 202311287684.3 and invention name “A frequency and peak regulation system for thermal power units”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field The present application relates to the technical field of coal-fired power generation, and in particular to a frequency and peak regulation system for a thermal power unit. Background Art Generally, molten salt thermal storage technology is a new technology that uses high-temperature thermal energy to store energy and potential energy. During the storage stage, the power grid outputs electrical energy to the storage system, converts it into thermal energy, and stores it in molten salt; during the release process, the energy storage system converts heat into electrical energy and provides electricity. There are many ways to release heat in the coupling of molten salt heat storage devices and thermal power units. One is that when the molten salt device releases heat, condensate is introduced into the molten salt device, and the heated condensate returns to the condensate system of the generator set. The second is that when the molten salt device releases heat, condensate is introduced into the molten salt device, and steam is generated after heating and returns to the steam system. At present, the heated steam is mainly sent to the external network for heating or returned to the power plant steam system to be sent to the steam turbine for power generation. The invention of patent number 202310453336.2 discloses a power generation system and operation method of coupling molten salt heat storage with coal-fired units.

In addition, after absorbing heat and heating, high-temperature and medium-temperature molten salts are stored separately, which can be used for peak power generation, rapid frequency regulation, industrial steam supply and centralized heating, and realize the efficient utilization of energy cascade.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, but cannot be understood as limiting the present application. As shown in Fig. 1, the frequency regulation and peak regulation system 100 of the thermal power unit of the embodiment of the present application includes a generator set and a frequency regulation and peak regulation unit. The generator set includes a main steam turbine 1, a generator 2, a condenser 3 and a deaerator 4. The main steam turbine 1 is coaxially arranged with the generator 2. The exhaust port of the main steam turbine 1 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 3, and the outlet of the condenser 3 is connected to the inlet of the deaerator 4. The frequency modulation and peak regulation unit includes a frequency modulation steam turbine 5, a clutch 6, a molten salt heat storage device 7 and an electric heater 8. The frequency modulation steam turbine 5 is coaxially arranged with the generator 2 through the clutch 6. The exhaust port of the frequency modulation steam turbine 5 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 3. The molten salt heat storage device 7 includes a salt pool and a heat exchange channel 71. The inlet of the heat exchange channel 71 is connected to the outlet of the deaerator 4, and the outlet of the heat exchange channel 71 is connected to the steam inlet of the frequency modulation steam turbine 5. The electric heater 8 is connected to the generator 2 to heat the heat storage medium in the salt pool. The operation mode of the frequency regulation and peak regulation system 100 of the thermal power unit in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: The frequency-modulation and peak-shaving unit assists the generator set in deep peak-shaving: the clutch 6 is disconnected, the frequency-modulation steam turbine 5 does not run, the connection between the outlet of the deaerator 4 and the inlet of the heat exchange channel 71 is disconnected, and when the generator set needs to reduce the load, the electric heater 8 is turned on to consume the electric energy output by the generator 2 to heat the heat storage medium of the molten salt heat storage device 7, thereby realizing heat storage and energy storage, reducing the power output by the frequency-modulation and peak-shaving system 100 of the thermal power unit, and achieving the purpose of deep peak-shaving capability. When the load needs to be increased: turn off the electric heater 8, connect the inlet of the heat exchange channel 71 and the outlet of the deaerator 4, use the heat energy stored in the heat storage medium of the molten salt heat storage device 7 to heat the water in the heat exchange channel 71, and the water vapor discharged from the heat exchange channel 71 enters the frequency-modulating steam turbine 5 to warm up the frequency-modulating steam turbine 5. When the speed of the frequency-modulating steam turbine 5 is consistent with the speed of the main steam turbine 1, close the clutch 4 to improve the heating efficiency of the water in the heat exchange channel 71 by the heat energy stored in the heat storage medium, thereby increasing the speed of the frequency-modulating steam turbine 5, thereby increasing the output power of the generator 2, and increasing the power output of the frequency-modulating peak-shaving system 100 of the thermal power unit. The frequency-modulating and peak-shaving unit assists the frequency modulation of the generator set: when the clutch 4 is closed, the electric heater 8 is turned on, and the inlet of the heat exchange channel 71 is connected to the outlet of the deaerator 4, when the load of the generator set is increased, the heating power of the electric heater 8 is reduced, and the heating power of the molten salt heat storage device 7 is increased. The heat exchange efficiency between the heat storage medium and the water in the heat exchange channel 71 increases the temperature and flow rate of the water vapor discharged from the heat exchange channel 71, thereby increasing the power of the frequency-modulated steam turbine 5, thereby quickly increasing the output power of the generator 2. When the generator set reduces the load, the heating power of the electric heater 8 is increased, the heat exchange efficiency between the heat storage medium of the molten salt heat storage device 7 and the water in the heat exchange channel 71 is reduced, the temperature and flow rate of the water vapor discharged from the heat exchange channel 71 are reduced, and the power of the frequency-modulated steam turbine 5 is reduced, thereby quickly reducing the output power of the generator 2.

In addition, the frequency regulation steam turbine 5 is coaxially connected in series with the main steam turbine 1 and the generator 2, that is, the power generation of the generator 2 is equal to the power generation of the main steam turbine 1 and the power generation of the frequency regulation steam turbine 5. When the purpose of unit frequency regulation is achieved, there is no need to add a generator, which reduces the equipment investment and cost of the frequency regulation and peak regulation system 100 of the thermal power unit. In order to make the solution of the present application easier to understand, FIG1 is taken as an example for explanation.

The inlet of the heat exchange channel 71 is connected to the outlet of the deaerator 4, and the outlet of the heat exchange channel 71 is connected to the steam inlet of the frequency-modulated steam turbine 5. The electric heater 8 is connected to the generator 2 to heat the heat storage medium in the salt pool. The heat storage medium absorbs heat and stores energy to realize the energy storage of the molten salt heat storage device 7. When the molten salt heat storage device 7 releases heat, it exchanges heat with the water in the heat exchange channel 71 to heat the water and vaporize it.

The molten salt heat storage device 7 further includes a molten salt pump 72, the inlet of the molten salt pump 72 is connected to the bottom of the salt pool, the outlet of the molten salt pump 72 is connected to the inlet of the electric heater 8 to deliver the heat storage medium in the salt pool to the electric heater 8, and the outlet of the electric heater 8 is connected to the top of the salt pool. After the molten salt pump 72 is turned on, the molten salt at the bottom of the salt pool is pumped into the electric heater 8, and the electric heater 8 is turned on to heat the molten salt inside. With the continuous pumping of the molten salt pump 72, the heated molten salt in the electric heater 8 overflows from the outlet of the electric heater 8 to the top of the salt pool of the molten salt heat storage device 7, and under the action of gravity, the molten salt at the top of the salt pool flows back to the bottom of the salt pool step by step. When the electric heater 8 is turned on, the pumping frequency of the molten salt pump 72 will affect the circulation speed of the molten salt in the molten pool and the electric heater 8, and then affect the temperature of the molten salt in the molten pool, thereby affecting the heat exchange effect with the water in the heat exchange channel 71, and affecting the steam temperature at the outlet of the heat exchange channel 71. A power branch 10 is provided between the transformer 9 and the generator 2, and the power branch 10 is connected to the electric heater 8. A first switch 11 is provided on the power branch 10 to control the on and off of the power branch 10. When the first switch 11 is closed, the power branch 10 is connected, the electric heater 8 is powered on, and the electric heater 8 starts to work. When the first switch 11 is opened, the power branch 10 is disconnected, and the electric heater 8 is powered off. The inlet of the second electric valve 15 is connected to the outlet of the heat exchange channel 71, and the outlet of the second electric valve 15 is connected to the steam inlet of the frequency-modulated steam turbine 5.

When the frequency-modulating and peak-shaving unit of the embodiment of the present application assists the generator set in deep peak-shaving, when the generator set needs to reduce the load, the condensate pump 17 and the feed water pump 12 are shut down, the third electric valve 18 is closed, the first electric valve 13 is closed, the outlet of the deaerator 4 is disconnected from the inlet of the heat exchange channel 71, the molten salt pump 72 is started, the first switch 11 is closed, and the electric heater 8 is turned on to heat the molten salt for heat storage and energy storage. When the generator set needs to increase the load, the condensate pump 17 and the feed water pump 12 are started, the third electric valve 18 is opened, and the first electric valve 13 is opened to send the water in the deaerator 4 to the heat exchange channel 71. During the warm-up stage of the frequency-modulated steam turbine 5, the molten salt pump 72 is in a low-frequency state. When the speed of the frequency-modulated steam turbine 5 is consistent with the speed of the generator, the clutch is closed, and then the frequency of the molten salt pump 72 is gradually increased, and the temperature and flow rate of the steam at the outlet of the heat exchange channel 71 are increased, thereby increasing the speed of the frequency-modulated steam turbine 5.

[0046] When the frequency-modulating and peak-shaving unit of the embodiment of the present application assists the generator set in frequency modulation, the condensate pump 17 and the feed water pump 12 are in the starting state, the third electric valve 18 is opened, the first electric valve 13 is opened, the molten salt pump 72 is turned on, the first switch 11 is closed, and the electric heater 8 is turned on. When the generator set increases its load, the heating power of the electric heater 8 is reduced, and the frequency of the molten salt pump 72 is increased, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the energy storage medium of the molten salt heat storage device 7 and the water in the heat exchange channel 71, and increasing the second regulating valve 16 and the third regulating valve 19 to increase the temperature and flow rate of the water vapor discharged from the heat exchange channel 71, thereby increasing the power of the frequency-modulating steam turbine 5, thereby quickly increasing the output power of the generator 2, and quickly increasing the output power of the transformer 9 to the power grid. When the generator set reduces the load, the heating power of the electric heater 8 is increased, the frequency of the molten salt pump 72 is reduced, thereby reducing the heat exchange efficiency between the energy storage medium of the molten salt heat storage device 7 and the water in the heat exchange channel 71, and the second regulating valve 16 and the third regulating valve 19 are adjusted down to reduce the temperature and flow of the water vapor discharged from the heat exchange channel 71, so that the power of the frequency-modulated steam turbine 5 is reduced, thereby quickly reducing the output power of the generator 2 and the output power of the transformer 9 to the power grid. The frequency-modulated and peak-shaving unit of the embodiment of the present application assists the generator set in frequency modulation, and realizes the response rate of the frequency-modulated and peak-shaving system 100 of the thermal power unit when increasing and decreasing the load.
