Abstract
Description
A method for nuclear power to replace thermal power and a generator set that also takes into account peak shaving and heating. Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermal power plant retrofitting technology, and in particular to a method and generator set for nuclear power to replace thermal power plants while also taking into account peak shaving and heating. Background Technology
[0002] Building a new power system is a key measure for China to achieve its carbon neutrality goal. The core challenge of this new power system is how to achieve the orderly reduction of thermal power while ensuring the safe and reliable replacement of renewable energy sources. China's power system has a large stock of thermal power, a high proportion of thermal power, and high carbon emissions, making the situation for reducing carbon emissions from thermal power a serious challenge.
[0003] Currently, besides early decommissioning and reducing direct emissions through carbon capture systems, retrofitting thermal power units using low-carbon technologies such as nuclear energy is another viable approach to carbon reduction measures for coal-fired power plants. From a functional perspective, both nuclear and coal-fired power can serve as baseload power sources. From a resource utilization perspective, rigidly retiring coal-fired power plants with long remaining lifespans and dismantling existing plants would be costly overall. Therefore, retrofitting coal-fired power plants with nuclear power can utilize existing grid connection systems, water sources, land, transmission facilities, and some process equipment and infrastructure, thereby reducing the overall cost of the power plant.
[0004] However, frequent adjustments to the reactor load at nuclear power plants can cause fluctuations in reactor status, posing operational safety risks. Due to their inherent technical characteristics, nuclear power plants have significantly lower peak-shaving and frequency regulation capabilities than thermal power units, resulting in less flexibility. A considerable number of thermal power units in my country simultaneously generate electricity and provide heat, operating according to the principle of heat-driven power generation. In contrast, most nuclear power units in my country do not possess heat-providing capabilities. Therefore, it is necessary to research a method for converting thermal power units into nuclear power units to address the mismatch between power output and peak-shaving capabilities encountered during this conversion process. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the mismatch in peak-shaving capacity during the conversion of thermal power to nuclear power, this invention provides a method and generator set for nuclear power to replace thermal power, which also takes into account peak-shaving and heating.
[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for nuclear power substitution for thermal power that also takes into account peak-shaving and heating, including:
[0007] The steam heat from the nuclear island steam generator is stored in the molten salt of the first molten salt assembly using a steam-molten salt heat exchanger.
[0008] The heat exchange component is used to heat the water in the feedwater pipeline to generate steam, so that the steam drives the steam turbine to work.
[0009] The hydrophobic heat from the steam-molten salt heat exchanger is stored in the molten salt of the second molten salt assembly using a hydrophobic molten salt heat exchanger.
[0010] The molten salt heat from the second molten salt assembly is transferred to the primary heating network pipes using a heating heater.
[0011] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide a generator set that also provides peak-shaving heating, applied to the method described in the above embodiments, including a nuclear island steam generator, a steam molten salt heat exchanger, a hydrophobic molten salt heat exchanger, a first molten salt assembly, a second molten salt assembly, a heat exchange assembly, a feedwater pipeline, a steam turbine, a generator, a heating heater, and a primary heating network pipeline. The steam molten salt heat exchanger is connected to the nuclear island steam generator and the first molten salt assembly respectively, and is used to store the steam heat from the nuclear island steam generator in the molten salt of the first molten salt assembly. The hydrophobic molten salt heat exchanger is connected to the steam molten salt heat exchanger and the second molten salt assembly respectively, and is used to store the hydrophobic heat from the steam molten salt heat exchanger in the molten salt of the second molten salt assembly. The heat exchange assembly is connected to the first molten salt assembly and the feedwater pipeline respectively. The steam turbine is connected to the heat exchange assembly through a steam pipeline and to the generator. The heating heater is connected to the second molten salt assembly and the primary heating network pipeline respectively, and is used to transfer the molten salt heat from the second molten salt assembly to the primary heating network pipeline.
[0012] This invention provides a method and generator set for nuclear power conversion to replace thermal power plants, which also considers peak-shaving and heating. The method stores the steam heat from the secondary loop of the nuclear island in a first molten salt assembly (i.e., high-temperature molten salt) and a second molten salt assembly (i.e., low-temperature molten salt). Different molten salt heat absorption and release system powers are matched to the nuclear island reactor power and the original thermal power turbine generator power, respectively, thus decoupling the operation of the nuclear island reactor system and the turbine generator system. Simultaneously, by setting up a low-temperature molten salt energy storage system, the system can supply heat to the outside world. Decoupling allows the reactor power to differ from the original thermal power turbine generator power, solving the power mismatch problem in the thermal-to-nuclear power conversion process. Decoupling also allows the turbine generator power to flexibly adjust peak loads according to grid requirements, while the reactor power can remain constant, solving the peak-shaving capacity mismatch problem in the thermal-to-nuclear power conversion process.

Detailed Implementation
[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the nuclear power replacement method for thermal power plants, which also takes into account peak-shaving and heating, provided in this embodiment of the invention includes:
[0019] Step S1: Use the steam-molten salt heat exchanger 2 to store the steam heat from the nuclear island steam generator 1 into the molten salt of the first molten salt assembly;
[0020] Step S2: Use the heat exchange components to heat the water in the feedwater pipe 4 to generate steam, so that the steam drives the turbine 5 to work.
[0021] Step S3: Use the hydrophobic molten salt heat exchanger 3 to store the hydrophobic heat from the steam molten salt heat exchanger 2 into the molten salt of the second molten salt assembly;
[0022] Step S4: Use the heating heater 7 to transfer the molten salt heat of the second molten salt assembly to the primary heating network pipe 8.
[0023] In this embodiment, the steam heat from the secondary loop of the nuclear island is stored in the first molten salt assembly (i.e., the high-temperature zone molten salt) and the second molten salt assembly (i.e., the low-temperature zone molten salt). Different molten salt heat absorption system power and molten salt heat release system power are matched to the nuclear island reactor power and the original thermal power turbine generator power, respectively, thus decoupling the operation of the nuclear island reactor system and the turbine generator system. Simultaneously, by setting up a low-temperature zone molten salt energy storage system, the system can supply heat to the outside world. Decoupling allows the reactor power to differ from the original thermal power turbine generator power, solving the power mismatch problem during the thermal power to nuclear power conversion. Decoupling also allows the turbine generator power to flexibly adjust peak loads according to grid requirements, while the reactor power can remain constant, solving the peak load mismatch problem during the thermal power to nuclear power conversion.
[0024] It should be noted that the aforementioned combined generating units refer to the conversion of existing thermal power plants into nuclear power plants. A nuclear power plant mainly consists of a nuclear island reactor system, a conventional island turbine generator system, and auxiliary systems. A thermal power plant mainly consists of a boiler system, a main plant turbine generator system, and auxiliary systems. The nuclear power conversion of a thermal power unit involves replacing the boiler system with the nuclear island reactor system to provide heat to the power plant, while reusing other parts of the original thermal power unit, such as the turbine generator system, as much as possible. While utilizing the existing power grid connection system to reduce the overall cost of the power plant, the converted power plant also needs to possess peak-shaving and frequency regulation capabilities and a certain external heat supply capacity to match the original thermal power unit, in order to meet the grid's requirements for power plant flexibility and heat supply.

[0036] The exhaust steam from the high-pressure cylinder is reheated using reheater 19 so that the generated steam enters the intermediate-pressure cylinder through the thermal section pipe 23.

A nuclear island feedwater pump 34 is installed on the pipe between the hydrophobic molten salt heat exchanger 3 and the nuclear island steam generator 1.
[0044] The process and purpose of the above technical solution are described below.
[0045] 1) Molten salt endothermic system
[0046] High-temperature steam from the outlet of nuclear island steam generator 1 enters steam-molten salt heat exchanger 2, heating the molten salt in the high-temperature zone and turning it into condensate. The condensate from the outlet of steam-molten salt heat exchanger 2 enters condensate-molten salt heat exchanger 3, heating the molten salt in the low-temperature zone. After being cooled to the required inlet water temperature for nuclear island steam generator 1, it is pressurized by nuclear island feedwater pump 34 and enters nuclear island steam generator 1. Low-temperature binary salt in high-temperature zone cold salt tank 11 is pressurized by high-temperature zone cold salt pump 12 and enters steam-molten salt heat exchanger 2, where it is heated by the high-temperature steam of the nuclear island. The molten salt from the outlet of steam-molten salt heat exchanger 2 enters molten salt electric heater 15 for further heating to the specified temperature before entering high-temperature zone hot salt tank 9. Low-temperature ternary salt in low-temperature zone cold salt tank 26 is pressurized by low-temperature zone cold salt pump 27 and enters condensate-molten salt heat exchanger 3, where it is heated by condensate to the specified temperature before entering low-temperature zone hot salt tank 24.
[0047] This system employs a dual-temperature molten salt energy storage system comprising a high-temperature molten salt system and a low-temperature molten salt system. The high-temperature molten salt medium uses a binary salt (e.g., it may include 60% sodium nitrate and 40% potassium nitrate by mass), while the low-temperature molten salt medium uses a ternary salt (e.g., it may include 7% sodium nitrate, 53% potassium nitrate, and 40% sodium nitrite by mass). The nuclear island reactor technology utilizes a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor, with high-temperature, high-pressure steam exiting the nuclear island steam generator. The high-temperature molten salt medium uses a binary salt, which has a high maximum operating temperature and excellent stability at high temperatures. After fully utilizing the latent heat of the high-pressure steam, it can be heated to a high temperature by the molten salt electric heater to meet the temperature requirements of the original thermal power unit's main steam and high-temperature reheat steam. The low-temperature molten salt medium uses a ternary salt, which has a lower melting point, enabling it to cool the feedwater entering the nuclear island steam generator to the required temperature without solidifying. In summary, by properly configuring the capacity of the cold salt pumps in the high and low temperature zones, the power of the molten salt heat absorption system can be matched with the power of the nuclear island reactor.
[0048] 2) Molten salt heat release system
[0049] Feedwater from the boiler inlet feedwater pipe 4 of the original thermal power unit enters the molten salt feedwater heat exchanger 33 and is heated before entering the steam generation system. It then passes through the preheater 18, evaporator 17, and superheater 16, where it is heated by molten salt into high-temperature superheated steam, which enters the original thermal power main steam pipe 21. Low-temperature reheated steam from the original thermal power cold section pipe 22 enters the reheater and is heated by molten salt into high-temperature reheated steam before entering the original thermal power hot section pipe 23. High-temperature binary salt in the high-temperature zone hot salt tank 9 is pressurized by the high-temperature zone hot salt pump 10 and enters the steam generation system, splitting into two streams: one enters the superheater 16, and the other enters the reheater 19. The two streams of molten salt are cooled by the steam and merged into one stream, which then enters the evaporator 17 and preheater 18, finally being cooled into low-temperature binary salt and entering the high-temperature zone cold salt tank 11. The high-temperature ternary salt in the low-temperature zone hot salt tank 24 is pressurized by the low-temperature zone hot salt pump 25 and then divided into two paths. One path enters the heating heater 7, which heats the return water of the primary heating network and then enters the primary heating network supply water pipeline for external heating. The other path enters the molten salt feed water heat exchanger 33, which heats part of the deaerator to supply water and reduce the amount of steam extracted during reheating. After the two molten salts are cooled into low-temperature ternary salt, they merge into one path and enter the low-temperature zone cold salt tank 26.
[0050] In this system, considering the anti-condensation problem of low-temperature binary salt in the high-temperature zone, the outlet condensate temperature of the steam molten salt heat exchanger 2 is relatively high. By setting up a low-temperature molten salt system, a heating heater 7, and a molten salt feedwater heat exchanger 33, the heat from the outlet condensate of the steam molten salt heat exchanger 2 can be fully utilized to heat the return water of the heating network and part of the feedwater from the deaerator. This lowers the condensate temperature while providing external heat supply and reduces the amount of regenerative steam extraction, thus increasing the system's power generation capacity. Simultaneously, the amount of low-temperature molten salt entering the heating heater 7 and the molten salt feedwater heat exchanger 33 can be adjusted according to the heating demand and the power requirements of the steam turbine generator. By rationally configuring the capacity of the high- and low-temperature zone hot salt pumps, the power of the molten salt heat release system can be matched with the original power of the thermal power turbine and the heating load.
[0051] 3) Steam turbine generator system
[0052] The original thermal power plant turbine generator system remains unchanged. High-temperature, high-pressure main steam from the molten salt heat release system enters the original thermal power plant main steam pipeline 21, and then enters the original turbine high-pressure cylinder to drive the turbine for power generation. Exhaust steam from the turbine high-pressure cylinder enters the molten salt heat release system reheater 19 via the original thermal power plant cold section pipeline 22. After being heated to high-temperature reheat steam, it enters the original thermal power plant hot section pipeline 23, and then enters the original thermal power plant turbine intermediate-pressure cylinder to drive the turbine for power generation. The feedwater from the original thermal power plant feedwater pump outlet is divided into two paths: one path enters the original thermal power plant extraction steam feedwater heat exchanger 30 to be heated by the extraction steam, and the other path enters the molten salt feedwater heat exchanger 33 to be heated by the low-temperature molten salt. After both feedwater paths are heated to the same temperature, they enter the molten salt heat release system.
[0053] In this system, the feedwater flow rate into the original extraction steam feedwater heat exchanger 30 and molten salt feedwater heat exchanger 33 can be adjusted according to the molten salt heat storage capacity in the low temperature zone and the power of the steam turbine generator, thereby reducing the steam extraction volume of the steam turbine and increasing the power generation capacity of the steam turbine.
