Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling a short-term increase in output of a steam turbine with an upstream fossil-fueled continuous steam generator with a number of a flow path-forming, flowed through by a flow medium economizer, evaporator and Matterhitzersammlung surfaces.
  • a fossil-fueled steam generator produces superheated steam using the heat generated by burning fossil fuels.
  • Fossil fueled steam generators are mostly used in steam power plants, which are mainly used for power generation.
  • the generated steam is fed to a steam turbine.
  • the fossil-fueled steam generator also comprises a plurality of pressure stages with different thermal states of the respectively contained water-steam mixture.
  • the first (high) pressure level the flow medium passing through the flow path on its first economiser, to use the residual heat Voricar ⁇ mung of the flow medium, and then various levels of dene ⁇ evaporator and superheater.
  • the evaporator the flow medium is evaporated, then separated any residual moisture in a separator and further heated the remaining steam in the superheater. Thereafter, the superheated steam in the high pressure part of the steam turbine flows, is there decompressed, and the following print ⁇ stage of the steam generator is supplied. There he is again supplied via ⁇ hitzt (reheat) and the next-pressure part of the steam turbine.
  • the heat output transferred to the superheaters can fluctuate greatly. There- It is often necessary to control the overheating temperature. Usually, this is usually achieved by an injection of feed water before or after individual superheater heating surfaces for cooling, ie, an overflow branch branches off from the main flow of the flow medium and leads to injection coolers arranged accordingly there.
  • the injection is customarily controlled by a predetermined for the Tempe ⁇ raturabweichungen by a temperature setpoint at the outlet of the superheater characteristic parameter value with the aid of valves.
  • Such power changes of a power plant block in the se ⁇ customer area are possible only by a coordinated interaction of steam generator and steam turbine.
  • the contribution of fossil fuel-fired steam generator can do this is by using his memory, ie the steam but also the fuel storage, as well as rapid changes in the controlling variable ⁇ SEN feedwater, injection water, fuel and air.
  • This measure an increase in performance is achieved within a few seconds. This additional power can be released in a relatively short time, so that the delayed power increase can be at least partially compensated by the increase in the firing capacity.
  • the entire block makes by this measure immediately a jump in performance and can also permanently maintain or exceed this level of performance by a subsequent increase in the firing capacity, ⁇ the system was set at the time of additional requested power reserves in the partial load range.
  • a permanent throttling of the turbine valves for Vorhal ⁇ tion of a reserve however, always leads to a loss ⁇ efficiency, so that for an economical driving the degree of throttling should be kept as low as absolutely necessary.
  • some types of fossil-fueled steam generators such. B. forced flow steam generator may have a significantly smaller storage volume than z. B. natural circulation steam generator.
  • the difference in the size of the memory has an influence on the behavior of changes in the power plant block in the method described above.
  • the design pressure in the entire steam generator must not be exceeded, so that this measure in the upper load range only limited or can not be applied.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention, by increasing the short-term ⁇ power increase of the steam turbine, the flow of fluid medium through the fossil-fired steam generator.
  • the invention is based on the consideration that the introduced heat output into the steam generator is determined by the firing capacity and only has a comparatively slow effect in the event of a sudden change.
  • a zusiger ⁇ Liche power delivery in the steam turbine should be performed by a use of the stored in the heating surfaces of the steam generator heat energy. The withdrawal of this heat requires a lowering of the average material temperature. This should be achieved by increasing the flow, ie the amount of flow medium flowing through per unit of time. Due to the higher flow with comparatively lower medium temperatures, the average material temperature of all heating surfaces is lowered by this measure and as a result thermal energy is released from all these heating surfaces and released in the steam turbine in the form of additional power.
  • the enthalpy desired value is reduced at the exit of an evaporator heating surface .
  • the setpoint value for the specific enthalpy is used in the control system of the Dampferzeu ⁇ gers as a control variable for the determination of the desired value for the flow of the flow medium.
  • This switching action has two effects: First, the basic setpoint for the evaporator flow rate calculated in the feedwater setpoint determination increases. Second, the increased Enthalpiekor ⁇ rekturregler - especially when the reduction particularly rapidly (suddenly) is carried out - by now larger anste ⁇ rising control deviation to be output to rapidly as possible to reduce the enthalpy at the evaporator outlet. As a result, the amount of feed water at the beginning of this measure even increases disproportionately and it is a particularly fast storage of heat from the heating surfaces with the associated glossentitati in the steam turbine possible.
  • the enthalpy desired value is reduced to a given minimum enthalpy value . This is a ⁇ hand in all load conditions, a maximum tripodentbin- while maintaining operational safety.
  • the Swiss-Shenthalpiewert is dimensioned such that in all load conditions of the fossil-fueled steam generator complete Verdamp ⁇ tion of the flow medium is achieved in the evaporator heating.
  • Verdamp ⁇ tion of the flow medium is achieved in the evaporator heating.
  • subcritical operation namely, should be ensured that the enthalpy at the evaporator ⁇ outlet is not lowered too far and consequently a seizure of residual water in a downstream separator can be safely avoided.
  • a maximum increase in additional feed water and thus additional performance relief should be achieved with the safest possible driving.
  • the parameters of the measures taken are matched to the required power release in the steam turbine and optimized. For this amount and / or duration of the reduction of Enthalpiesollwerts be determined from the Need Beer ⁇ saturated power increase.
  • flow medium removed in the flow path in the region of a superheater heating surface of the steam generator is injected for short-term increase in output of the steam turbine.
  • Derar ⁇ term injections can in fact make a further contribution to the short-term rapid change in performance.
  • the stored thermal energy is used for ei ⁇ ne temporary increase in power of the steam turbine. This thus results in the additional advantage that a particularly high excess power can be maintained at a constant level over a geeig ⁇ designated coordinating all measures available quickly and as long as possible.
  • the material load can also be positively influenced.
  • the heat input is increased in the fossil-fired steam generator, that is, increases the firing capacity of the burner.
  • a temperature reduction at the evaporator outlet can be favorably influenced or even completely avoided by the described method, since the measure acts as a Vorhaltsignal on the Spei ⁇ sewasser.
  • the method not only allows a short-term increase in performance, but is also used for faster adjustment of a longer-term performance increase.
  • a control system for a fossil-fired steam generator with a number of flow-forming, flowed through by a flow medium economizer, evaporator and Kochhitzersammlungflä- chen means for carrying out the method.
  • a fossil-fired steam generator for a steam power plant comprises such a control system and a steam power plant such a fossil-fired steam generator.
  • FIG. 1 shows a diagram with simulation results for improving the instantaneous reserve of a fossil-fired continuous steam generator by increasing the feedwater quantity together with injection of high-pressure steam, reheat steam and in each case in both pressure systems in an upper load range, and
  • FIG. 2 shows a diagram with simulation results for improving the immediate reserve of a fossil-fueled continuous steam generator by increasing the amount of feed water together with injection of high-pressure steam, reheat steam and in each case in both pressure systems in a lower load range.
  • FIG 1 is a diagram showing simulation results by taking advantage of the control method in a fossil-fired steam generator, ie a sudden reduction in the contained ⁇ piesollwerts at the evaporator outlet to increase the feed water flow at constant ⁇ firing.
  • Up ⁇ carry the percent additional power is related to full load 1 against time in seconds after a 2 sprunghaf ⁇ th reduction of the target value of the specific enthalpy at the evaporator outlet to 100 kJ / kg at 95% load.
  • This reduction tion provides the control concept for an increase in Lucaswas ⁇ ser diehne.
  • Curve 4 shows the result without ⁇ additional use of injections
  • curves 6 and 8 represent the results for an additional use of injections in the high pressure stage or in the high-pressure and medium-pressure stage.

  • the injection is achieved by reducing the setpoint for live steam temperature and, if appropriate, reheaction temperature by 20 K.
