Definitions
- the invention relates to a steam power plant with retrofit kit and a method for retrofitting a steam power plant.
- Power plants with a conventional water / steam cycle are known from the prior art.
- Known steam turbine systems are formed by a steam turbine set including a condensation system, connecting pipelines and auxiliary devices.
- the steam turbo set usually consists of multi-stage steam turbines.
- a driven machine is driven via the steam turbo set, which in the case of a power plant is formed by a generator.
- Large steam turbine plants operated with fossil fuels usually use a process with reheating.
- FIG. 7 Such a steam power plant with reheating is shown schematically in FIG. 7.
- a steam boiler 1 including superheater 2 condensate or Boiler feed water heated to the desired steam temperature.
- the live steam temperature is usually about 520 ° C to 565 ° C
- the live steam pressure is about 120 bar to 200 bar.
- the steam enters a high-pressure turbine 4 via live steam valves 3.
- the pressure drop is converted into mechanical energy before the steam exits into a stream that flows High pressure feed water preheater 21 is supplied, and a current which is supplied to a reheater 5 is divided.
- the steam which is fed to the high-pressure feed water preheater 21 is also referred to as tap steam for the feed water preheating and serves to heat the feed water by means of a heat exchanger.
- the second partial flow reaches a medium-pressure turbine 7 via an intermediate superheater 5 and intercepting valves 6, the pressure and temperature here typically being 30 to 40 bar and 520 ° C. to 565 ° C.
- Tap steam for feed water preheating in high-pressure feed water preheaters 19 and 20 or directly into one connected to a boiler feed pump 18 likewise passes from the medium-pressure turbine 7
- Feed water tank 17 The other part of the steam flow, which is also referred to as working steam, passes into a low-pressure turbine 8, from where the emerging working steam flows into a condensation system 11 designed as a condenser, in which the steam is condensed via a heat exchanger through which cooling water flows ,
- the condensate is preheated via, for example, two low-pressure feed water preheaters, here designated by reference numerals 15, 16, and fed to the feed water container 17 with the aid of a condensate pump 13.
- the preheating in the low-pressure feed water preheaters 15, 16 takes place with bleed steam from the low-pressure turbine 8.
- Steam power plants are also known which also draw bleed steam at elevated pressure for an additional feed water preheating stage on the high-pressure turbine 4.
- the high-pressure turbine 4, the medium-pressure turbine 7 and the low-pressure turbine 8 are generally arranged on a common shaft 9 which is rotatably supported by shaft bearings 12.
- the shaft 9 drives a rotor of a three-phase generator 10, by means of which the electricity is generated.
- a currently practiced approach to avoid such losses is a conventional retrofitting of older steam power plants, in which only the steam path of the turbines is modified.
- new rotating and stationary turbine blades with an improved profile are exchanged for the old turbine blades.
- only certain rows of blades are exchanged here, while the remaining rows of blades continue to be operated unchanged.
- This measure ensures that the power output of the steam power plant increases with the same fuel consumption with essentially unchanged steam conditions.
- the entire rotor including the rotating blades and / or the stator in which the stationary blades are mounted can also be replaced at the same time, and the steam turbine system can thus be better utilized.
- Such a modification alone does not result in any major changes to the generator, steam boiler, pipes, condensers or buildings.
- the steam temperature and the steam pressure remain essentially unchanged with such a retrofit.
- the invention has for its object to avoid the disadvantages of the prior art described above. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a possibility for improving the efficiency or extending the life of existing steam power plants.
- the aim is to create solutions that are as cost-effective as possible and in which as much original parts of the existing steam power plant as possible can be used. If possible, the general infrastructure should also be retained. Finally, the use of existing operating permits often plays an important role.
- a steam power plant according to the invention with a retrofit kit has a steam generator with superheater, a steam turbo set including condensation systems, connecting pipelines, auxiliary devices and a generator.
- the retrofit kit has at least one for elevated live steam temperatures> 565 ° C., preferably 620 ° C. to 720 ° C., and for unchanged ones or modified live steam pressure designed retrofit turbine module, which is connected upstream of the existing steam turboset or is exchanged for its high-pressure turbine.
- the term turbine module also includes the pipelines and valves required for the corresponding temperatures and pressures.
- the retrofit turbine module is supplied with steam having suitable parameters.
- the upstream high pressure also takes over the expansion of the existing high-pressure turbine, and the existing high-pressure turbine can thereby be replaced by the high-pressure turbine of the retrofit kit.
- the space freed up by the elimination of the high-pressure turbine of the existing steam power plant can advantageously be used for the turbine module of the retrofit kit.
- many existing components of the steam power plant such as the feed water pump and piping can continue to be used.
- the live steam pressure can be modified so that it is> 200 bar, preferably 240 bar to 375 bar. If the existing safety reserves of the existing components are not sufficiently used for a significant increase in pressure, a corresponding modification of the components under pressure is necessary.
- Another solution variant provides that only the live steam temperature is increased, for example to 720 ° C., but the live steam pressure is reduced, for example, to 100 bar. This can prove to be particularly advantageous in the case of older steam power plants, where the primary concern is to extend the service life. In this case, there is no need for a reheater.
- An increased fresh steam temperature can be achieved, for example, by modifying the superheater or by external heat sources.
- modifying the superheater for example, the use of high temperature resistant materials and spatial and / or geometric changes of the superheater come into question.
- An advantageous embodiment of the steam power plant according to the invention with a retrofit kit provides that the shaft of the retrofit turbine module and the shaft of the existing steam turbine kit are mechanically coupled to one another.
- the existing generator may have to be adapted or replaced, or the power output must be limited to a permissible level.
- an additional generator can be added to a shaft end that is still free in order to decrease the excess power.
- An alternative advantageous embodiment of the steam power plant according to the invention with retrofit kit provides that the shaft of the retrofit turbine module and the shaft of the existing steam turbo kit are mechanically decoupled. This is advantageous if the local conditions do not allow the retrofit turbine module to be connected upstream of the shaft of the existing turbo set. The performance of the retrofit turbine module can then be tapped via a separate generator, which is on a free shaft end of the retrofit turbine module is attached. This means that the speed of this retrofit can also be optimally selected.
- the turbine module of the retrofit kit is made from high-temperature resistant materials, preferably from nickel-based alloys. Such alloys are particularly suitable for high steam temperatures. Depending on the component, alloys such as IN617, IN625 or Waspaloy are suitable.
- the retrofit turbine module has a single-flow or multi-flow high-pressure turbine.
- the live steam temperature at the turbine inlet can be approximately 720 ° C and the live steam pressure 375 bar.
- the working steam emerging from the upstream (super) high-pressure turbine of the retrofit turbine module is usually provided as input steam for the high pressure turbine of the existing turbo group.
- the retrofit turbine module has a single-flow or multi-flow super high-pressure turbine and a single-flow or multi-flow super medium-pressure turbine.
- the live steam temperature present at the turbine inlet of the high-pressure turbine can be, for example, 620 ° C. and the live steam pressure can be approximately 240 bar.
- the working steam emerging from the upstream super high-pressure turbine of the retrofit turbine module is usually used as input steam for the high-pressure turbine of the existing turbo group.
- the inlet temperature at this high-pressure turbine can be unchanged, for example 540 ° C and the inlet pressure can be 150 bar.
- the working steam is removed from the high-pressure turbine to be modified at a higher pressure and reheated via another reheater, for example to about 60 bar / 620 ° C., around one of the existing medium-pressure turbines to be supplied upstream turbine, which relaxes the steam to the previous entry state of the existing medium-pressure turbine.
- the pre-super high-pressure turbine can also be designed for the residual expansion of the existing high-pressure turbine, with which this existing component can be removed.
- the super high pressure and super medium pressure turbine of the retrofit turbine module can be accommodated in a common housing or in separate housings. When arranged in a common housing, material can be saved, which contributes to a reduction in production costs. Furthermore, such an arrangement leads to additional space gain, so that even confined locations can be retrofitted accordingly.
- the retrofit kit also has a modified steam generator and / or superheater for generating live steam with an elevated steam temperature> 565 ° C., preferably 620 ° C. to 720 ° C., and with unchanged or modified steam pressure.
- the existing steam generator and / or superheater can, if technically possible, be modified, for example, for higher steam temperatures and possibly higher steam pressure, or against a retrofit steam generator and / or superheater, which is used to generate temperatures of> 565 ° C and possibly pressures of> 200 bar can be exchanged.
- a further steam generator and / or superheater can also be connected downstream, which can also be operated with an external heat source.
- Retrofit steam generators of this type can partially be produced, for example, from nickel-based alloys.
- An advantageous further development of the steam power plant according to the invention provides that an additional generator or a modified or exchanged generator is provided for the decrease in output of the additional power generated by the retrofit turbo set.
- An additional generator can be installed on the Chen or a separate shaft next to the existing generator, or the existing generator can be upgraded by modification, for example the winding, or the existing generator can be completely replaced by a new generator.
- a method according to the invention for retrofitting an existing steam power plant with a steam generator with superheater, a steam turbo set including condensation systems, connecting pipelines, auxiliary devices and a generator has the following steps: before the existing turbo set or replacing the high pressure turbine of the existing steam turbo set with the retrofit turbine module; • Provision of a steam generator and / or superheater to provide live steam with an increased steam temperature.
- the steam generator and / or the superheater and the feed water pump can be retrofitted or converted, or an additional feed water pump referred to as a booster pump can be added and the associated pipelines modified for the higher live steam pressure.
- An advantageous further development of the method according to the invention for retrofitting a steam power plant also has the following step: adding, replacing or modifying a generator to reduce the power output of the additional power generated by the retrofit turbo set.
- An additional generator can be added, for example, by attaching it to a free shaft end, or the additional generator, if applicable, can only be coupled to the separately installed retrofit turbo set.

- the steam After passing through the live steam superheater 32 and corresponding live steam valves 23, the steam enters a super high-pressure turbine 24 of a retrofit turbine module 25.
- the super high-pressure turbine 24 completely replaces the high-pressure turbine of the existing power plant and is the existing steam via a coupling 28 with the shaft 9 -Turbo group connected.
- the steam reaches the medium-pressure turbine 7 via an intermediate superheater 5 and the interception valves 6
- Pressure and temperature are typically 36 bar and 540 ° C, for example.
- Steam passes from the medium-pressure turbine 7 into the double-flow low-pressure turbine 8, from where the emerging working steam flows into a condenser 11, in which the steam is condensed via a heat exchanger through which cooling water flows.
- the additional power can be tapped via a modified generator 10.
- FIG. 6 shows a schematic block diagram of a sixth advantageous embodiment of a steam power plant 22 according to the invention with a retrofit kit.
- This variant is intended for high operating temperatures of around 720 ° C but low operating pressures of around 100 bar, which is why the original components of the existing steam power plant can essentially be retained and no major modification of the steam boiler 1 is necessary.
- the existing boiler feed pump 18 can also be omitted to operate at reduced pressure.
- only a modified superheater 32 and the super high-pressure turbine 24 are required.
- the super high-pressure turbine 24 completely replaces the high-pressure turbine of the existing power plant and is connected to the shaft 9 of the existing steam turbo group via a coupling 28.
- the steam reaches the super high-pressure turbine 24 of the retrofit turbine module 25 via the modified live steam superheater 32 and corresponding live steam valves 23.
- the steam At the outlet from the super high-pressure turbine 24, the steam reaches the medium-pressure turbine 7 directly or via the shut-off valves 6, the pressure and temperature here typically being 36 bar and, for example, 540 ° C. An intermediate superheater can be omitted here. Steam reaches the low-pressure turbine 8 from the medium-pressure turbine 7. The power is delivered to the original generator 10 connected to the shaft 9.
- This sixth embodiment is particularly suitable for continuing to operate steam power plants beyond their actual service life at low investment costs. Since the material fatigue here on the high pressure side only allows pressures below the original design pressures, the steam pressures acting on the components are lower than in the original design of the existing steam power plant. Since, in this particular application, generally no significant additional power is to be expected, the original generator 10 can often be kept unchanged.
