Description

Method and system for determining coal blending scheme of different coal types in thermal power plant TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of coal-fired power generation technology, and in particular to a method and system for determining a coal blending scheme of different coal types in a thermal power plant. BACKGROUND

[0002] Coal costs account for more than 70% of the operation cost of a power plant, and reducing coal prices is the top priority for cost control. In recent years, low-cost coal sources have been explored to reduce coal costs, such as blending high-moisture lignite, high-ash low-calorific value bituminous coal, coal slime and other multi-element economic coal types. In addition, waste, sludge, biomass and other unconventional coal have also begun to be blended in power plants, and the blending ratio has gradually increased. However, due to insufficient understanding of the characteristics of multi-element coal and equipment limitations, problems such as insufficient drying capacity of the coal mill, limited load carrying capacity of the boiler, air preheater blockage, and poor coal flow in the coal drop pipe occur during coal combustion, which seriously affects the safe and stable operation of the boiler equipment.

[0003] In addition, existing coal blending models mostly focus on economic evaluation and fail to fully consider the actual operating conditions and load changes of the unit equipment, making it difficult to balance the comprehensive operation requirements of safety, efficiency, economy and environmental protection in actual operation. Therefore, although these methods provide a reference for blending decision-making to some extent, there is a lack of a comprehensive and scientific evaluation system to guide thermal power enterprises to achieve the optimal blending scheme.
