This invention discloses a deep peak-shaving
system and method for thermal power plants based on
ammonia cracking hydrogen production coupled with deep utilization of
waste heat. It relates to the field of thermal power generation and includes a gasifier, an
ammonia cracking hydrogen production unit, a cooler, a separator, an
ammonia storage tank, an ammonia-
hydrogen storage
system, a peak-shaving burner, and a boiler. This invention utilizes the
waste heat of the thermal power boiler to vaporize
liquid ammonia into
gaseous ammonia. The ammonia
cracking hydrogen production unit uses medium- and high-temperature
waste heat or electrical energy, along with an ammonia cracking catalyst, to crack a portion of the
ammonia gas, producing an ammonia-hydrogen-
nitrogen mixture. This mixture is then separated by a separator to obtain an ammonia-hydrogen mixture. The ammonia-hydrogen mixture is mixed with
ammonia gas to produce mixtures with different ammonia-hydrogen ratios, which are stored in the ammonia-
hydrogen storage tanks. The ammonia-hydrogen ratio used in the burner is adjusted according to different loads to maintain stable
combustion. This invention can maintain stable
combustion in the burner under low loads, achieving deep peak-shaving of thermal power plants, and can also deeply utilize waste heat from thermal power plants, improving power generation efficiency.
