Reheating system capable of improving heat supply capacity
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of cogeneration units, and particularly relates to a reheating system capable of improving heat supply capacity.
Background
Energy conservation and emission reduction are policy measures for realizing sustainable development of economy in China, and for historical reasons, urban heat supply in China mainly depends on equipment with high energy consumption, low efficiency and heavy pollution, such as small heat supply units, small boilers and the like, and various emissions have great influence on the environment, so that haze weather is increased, the health of people is influenced, and the contradiction can be relieved by a centralized heat supply mode of a large-scale thermal power plant.
The method for central heating of large-scale thermal power plant mainly comprises punching steam extraction, high back pressure heating, low-pressure cylinder zero output, 3S coupling, heat pump technology and the like. However, although the above measures can increase the heat supply capacity of the unit, the heat supply capacity of the steam turbine cannot be exerted to the maximum, and the ever-increasing heat supply requirement of the city cannot be met. The problem of insufficient heat supply needs to be solved by newly building a boiler and power generation equipment or further excavating the potential of deep heat supply on the basis of the original reheating unit. With the rapid development of the domestic power industry in the years, the domestic power industry is supersaturated. The electric load rate of a turbo generator set with high parameter, large capacity and high efficiency is reduced sharply, some newly built million units need to be changed into deep peak shaving units, the load rate of most power plants is reduced to below 70 percent for long time, and even some power plants face the risk of shutdown. If a boiler and power generation equipment are continuously built, although the requirement of insufficient heat supply load can be met, two adverse factors are brought at the same time, one is that the power supersaturation phenomenon is more and more serious, a high-parameter, large-capacity and high-efficiency generator set needs to be continuously operated under reduced load, and the load factor of a power plant can be reduced to about 50% for long time; two high-parameter, high-capacity and high-efficiency generator sets run under low load, emission is increased, air quality is further reduced, and the requirement for heat supply is met by sacrificing the environment, which is contrary to the national dominant energy-saving and emission-reducing policy. Therefore, the heat supply potential of the reheating unit is developed to be most consistent with the national conditions at the present stage.
For the reheated system which is put into operation, if the reheated system is directly used for temperature reduction and pressure reduction heat supply through a boiler, the heat supply capacity can be exerted to the maximum, but the reheater has no flow, the problem of dry burning of the reheater cannot be solved, and the boiler cannot normally operate. If the middle-low pressure rotor of the steam turbine is changed into an optical axis, the boiler steam passes through a high-pressure cylinder and a reheater, and then is subjected to temperature reduction and pressure reduction for heat supply, so that the heat supply capacity can be maximized, and the problem of dry burning of the reheater of the boiler can be solved, but the rotor needs to be replaced by opening the cylinder after the heat supply period is over, the rotor needs to be replaced by opening the cylinder twice every year for a power plant, and the normal operation and time and labor consumption of the power plant are seriously influenced; the heating capacity of the reheating unit cannot be exerted to the maximum by adopting high-back-pressure heating, a 3S coupling, a heat pump and other heating technologies.
The technology of the invention can give full play to the heat supply potential of the reheating unit; the problem of dry burning of the superheater can be solved; the rotor does not need to be replaced by opening the cylinder every year, and the normal operation of the original unit is not influenced. The invention has three main advantages: firstly, the deep adjustment of electric load and thermal load is realized by utilizing the existing unit, the heating capacity of the reheating unit can be exerted to the maximum, the power of the turbine bypass back pressure unit is reduced to about 30 percent in the heating period, the electric power is subjected to deep peak regulation, the efficiency is not lower than the full load efficiency of the original unit, and the peak regulation is realized without reducing the efficiency; in the non-heating period, the unit can meet the peak regulation requirement in summer, and the problem of insufficient electric quantity in summer is solved; secondly, a new boiler is not required, so that investment is saved, energy is saved, emission is reduced, and national policies are met; and thirdly, the reheating unit and the bypass back press machine are coupled and transformed into a cogeneration unit, the unit coal consumption is greatly reduced, the circulation efficiency is greatly improved, and a new profit growth point is provided for a power plant.
