A kind of system and method that improves efficiency of combined cycle electric power plant
Technical field
The present invention relates to the system and method for a kind of raising combustion gas-Steam Combined Cycle power plant efficiency, especially at being the combined-cycle power plant of main fuel with LNG Liquefied natural gas (LNG).This system and method utilizes the cold energy that discharges in the LNG gasification that the exhaust steam of steam turbine is condensed into water of condensation near freezing point, thereby has improved the efficient and the power of steam turbine; The LNG that utilizes the latent heat of vaporization of water vapour in the exhaust heat boiler smoke evacuation to come heat-setting water and gasified again improves the efficient of gas turbine with this.
Background technique
The basic principle of gas steam combined cycle for power generation is: the high-temperature exhaust air of doing merit in the gas turbine is sent into exhaust heat boiler in order to produce water vapor, and water vapor is introduced in the steam turbine and is done work then, the heat release and being condensed in vapour condenser of steam turbine steam discharge.So both increased gross output, utilized the high and low characteristics of pure steam turbine circulation heat release mean temperature of simple gas turbine circulation heat absorption mean temperature again, the thermal efficiency of whole circulation is improved.Advanced at present large-scale Combined Cycle Unit efficient is up to 60%, considerably beyond existing coal-burning power plant.In world's generate output, the shared share of Combined Cycle Unit obviously increases fast.
Along with the demand of people to the high-efficiency cleaning energy, and big capacity high reliability generating has promoted to use the fuel of LNG as Combined Cycle Unit with the appearance of gas turbine.LNG transports by sea to when receiving ground, and its state is roughly: a barometric pressure ,-160 ℃ approximately.LNG must be gasified to ambient temperature and bring up to suitable pressure and can be defeated by natural gas distributing system.Usually adopt open-shelf vaporizer, as the thermal source LNG that gasifies, this method be not only because the conveying seawater will consume a large amount of pump merits with seawater, and wasted a large amount of cold energy of containing among the LNG.
In order to utilize the cold energy of LNG, in U.S. Pat 5,457, disclosing a kind of among the 951A is the combined cycle power plant of fuel with LNG.After utilizing a LNG heat exchanging fluid of cooling (for example water), heat exchanging fluid is cooling and denseization suction port of compressor air earlier, and the condensation exhaust steam of discharging from steam turbine again makes a heat exchanging fluid be cooled off by LNG more then, circulate cooling and denseization suction port of compressor air once more.Though this system relates to the temperature and pressure that utilizes the cold energy that discharges in the LNG gasification to reduce exhaust steam in steam turbine, make Efficiency of Steam Turbine obtain to a certain degree raising, but under the constant situation of fuel quantity, because the condensing water temperature reduction can cause the steam production of exhaust heat boiler to reduce or vapor (steam) temperature descends, and owing to be subjected to the restriction of exhaust heat boiler temperature of exhaust fume, the reduction of turbine discharge temperature is limited.This has all influenced the further raising of turbine efficiency.Similar with it, in U.S. Pat 6,367, the method and apparatus that the cold energy that discharges when a kind of LNG of utilization gasifies improves efficiency of combined cycle electric power plant is disclosed among the 258B1.After one time heat exchanging fluid is cooled off by LNG, absorb the heat of gas turbine intake air and secondary heat exchange fluid (condenser cooling water), cool off denseization gas turbine intake air with this, improved the efficient of gas turbine, and the temperature of reduction condenser cooling water is to have increased the output power of steam turbine.Equally also there is above problem in this system.
Above-mentioned or other be the association circulating power generation system of fuel with LNG, improve Efficiency of Steam Turbine though utilize the LNG cold energy to reduce steam turbine exhaust pressure, but all less than solving under the constant situation of fuel quantity, if the steam initial conditions remains unchanged,, the condensing water temperature reduction reduces the problem of the further raising that influences turbine efficiency owing to can causing the steam production of exhaust heat boiler.Do not have to solve owing to the requirement to the exhaust heat boiler temperature of exhaust fume causes condensing water temperature yet and reduce limited problem.Simultaneously, for the large-scale combined cycle generation unit that with LNG is fuel, although adopt three to press hot again exhaust heat boiler, temperature of exhaust fume still reaches about 90 ℃, and because the main component of LNG is CH
4, the burning back produces a large amount of water vapors, and the water vapor portion is bigger in the flue gas, so contains the latent heat of vaporization of considerable sensible heat and water vapor in the flue gas.Exhaust heat boiler smoke evacuation flow is very big in the combined cycle generation unit, is discharged in the atmosphere by chimney, causes great heat waste.These systems are not recycled this part smoke discharging residual heat yet.
