Description

Supercritical carbon dioxide boiler gas temperature control strategy TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of power plant thermal control, and particularly relates to a supercritical carbon dioxide boiler gas temperature control strategy. BACKGROUND

[0002] The supercritical carbon dioxide cycle has advantages of high cycle thermal efficiency, compact system and equipment, and flexible operation, and can help coal-fired generating units to transform and upgrade to basic support and system regulation power sources. The supercritical carbon dioxide boiler, as a heat source equipment of the supercritical carbon dioxide power cycle, its deep peak shaving capacity and rapid load changing capacity are the key to realize flexible and efficient operation of the supercritical carbon dioxide coal-fired generating unit. Since there is a large thermal inertia in the process of heat transfer from the flue gas to the working medium through the pipe wall, the gas temperature will be over-temperature or not up to standard during the load changing operation, the gas temperature not up to standard will cause the power generation efficiency of the unit to be reduced and the coal consumption to be increased, and the gas temperature over-temperature will cause the pipe wall temperature of the boiler to be too high, and even cause the unit to be shut down, and long-term frequent over-temperature of the pipe wall of the boiler will affect the service life of the boiler equipment. Therefore, the supercritical carbon dioxide boiler gas temperature control must be carried out.

[0003] The steam temperature control strategy of the traditional supercritical water steam boiler is to take water-coal ratio as the core, adjust the separator outlet steam temperature through water-coal ratio, combine with water injection desuperheating technology, and then control the main steam temperature, and the reheat steam temperature is generally controlled through boiler tail flue gas damper, flue gas recirculation and water injection desuperheating technology, and some scholars propose high-pressure heater steam throttling control of reheat steam temperature and water-coal ratio participation in reheat steam temperature control. Compared with the traditional supercritical water steam boiler, the supercritical carbon dioxide boiler has the characteristics of high boiler inlet working medium temperature, working medium far away from the large specific heat region, and high reheat gas heat absorption proportion, the working medium heat absorption process is in the superheated region and the temperature rise is small, the reheater increases the furnace radiation heating surface, and the whole boiler heat transfer mechanism changes significantly, so the steam temperature control strategy of the traditional supercritical water boiler cannot be directly applied to the supercritical carbon dioxide boiler, and therefore, it is necessary to develop an effective gas temperature control strategy in combination with the supercritical carbon dioxide boiler heating surface arrangement scheme.

[0015] Finally, the superheated side flue damper opening increment is obtained by subjecting the difference value of the main gas temperature and the reheated gas temperature to the dead zone function and PID operation, the superheated side flue damper opening instruction is formed by adding the damper opening instruction feedforward to the superheated side flue damper opening increment and passing through the M / A hand automatic operation station and the MFT switching function, and meanwhile, the reheated side flue damper opening instruction is formed by adding the reheated side flue damper opening instruction feedforward to the superheated side flue damper opening increment after passing through the proportional link K and passing through the M / A hand automatic operation station and the MFT switching function.

[0016] Optionally, the functions f1(x), f2(x), f3(x) and f4(x) in the control logic can be obtained by linear interpolation according to the supercritical carbon dioxide boiler thermal calculation or performance calculation results.

[0027] During the peak-shaving operation of the supercritical carbon dioxide boiler, the coal quantity and working medium flow will change, and the thermal load of the boiler will also change. Considering that the process of heat transfer from flue gas to working medium through the boiler tube wall has thermal inertia, the changes of the main gas temperature and the reheated gas temperature will be delayed with the load adjustment, that is, the load following property of the boiler gas temperature is not good, so the gas temperature control is needed to avoid the over-temperature or under-temperature of the boiler during the peak-shaving operation. However, the supercritical carbon dioxide boiler has the characteristics that the working medium is far away from the large specific heat region, the heat absorption process is in the superheating region and the temperature rise is small, and the reheated gas has a high proportion of heat absorption. Therefore, the furnace radiation heating surface needs to increase the reheated gas cold wall, the vertical flue arrangement needs to split the economizer and other heating surface arrangement features. The heat transfer characteristics of the supercritical carbon dioxide boiler change significantly, and the steam temperature control strategy of the conventional water boiler is difficult to be directly applied.

[0031] Optionally, referring to FIG. 2, the control logic of the average values of the main gas temperature and the reheated gas temperature is as follows:

[0032] Firstly, the load instruction from the unit coordinated control system CCS generates the average value instruction of the main gas temperature and the reheated gas temperature through the function f1(x), and the load instruction from the unit coordinated control system CCS generates the coal quantity instruction feedforward through the function f2(x);

[0033] Then, the average value of the main gas temperature and the reheated gas temperature is subtracted from the average value of the real-time value of the main gas temperature and the reheated gas temperature to obtain a deviation of the average value of the main gas temperature and the reheated gas temperature.

[0034] Finally, the deviation of the average value of the main gas temperature and the reheated gas temperature is subjected to PID operation to obtain a coal quantity increment, and the coal quantity increment is added to the coal quantity instruction to form a coal quantity instruction.

[0035] In the above embodiment, the control logic of the average value of the main gas temperature and the reheated gas temperature is reasonable, which helps to accurately obtain the coal quantity instruction.

[0036] Optionally, referring to FIG. 2, the control logic of the difference between the main gas temperature and the reheated gas temperature is as follows:

[0037] First, the real-time value of the main gas temperature is subtracted from the real-time value of the reheated gas temperature to obtain a difference between the main gas temperature and the reheated gas temperature.

[0038] Then, the load instruction from the unit coordination control system CCS is subjected to function f3(x) to generate a superheated side flue damper opening degree instruction feedforward, and the load instruction from the unit coordination control system CCS is subjected to function f4(x) to generate a reheated side flue damper opening degree instruction feedforward.
