I remember it.

  Next, processing (conventional thermal power generation method) performed by each processing unit included in the control device 20 will be described. In the following description, a characteristic part of the present invention will be described among the processes.

  As shown in FIG. 5, first, the dehydrogenation control unit 21 generates hydrogen by dehydrogenating from an organic compound as a dehydrogenation step (S102). That is, the dehydrogenation control unit 21 adjusts the amount of hydrogen taken out from the hydrogen outlet pipe 430, the temperature, the pressure, or the like by adjusting the amount of MCH received by the dehydrogenation apparatus 400, the amount of heat of high-temperature air to be taken in, or the like.

  And the fuel control part 22 co-fires the hydrogen produced | generated by the dehydrogenation process, and the fossil fuel with the boiler 100 as a co-firing process (S104). That is, the fuel control unit 22 adjusts the balance between the amount of hydrogen supplied from the dehydrogenation device 400 and the amount of pulverized coal supplied from the fossil fuel supply device 500, and co-fires hydrogen and pulverized coal.

  And the generator cooling control part 23 controls supply of the hydrogen for cooling to the generator 300 as a generator cooling process (S106). That is, the generator cooling control unit 23 adjusts the amount, temperature, pressure, or the like of cooling hydrogen supplied from the dehydrogenation device 400 to the generator 300.

  As described above, according to the conventional thermal power plant 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, hydrogen is generated by dehydrogenating from an organic compound in the dehydrogenation device 400, and the hydrogen and the fossil fuel are generated in the boiler 100. Power is generated by co-firing. That is, by generating power by burning not only fossil fuel but also hydrogen, the amount of carbon dioxide emission can be reduced as compared with the case of burning only fossil fuel. Thereby, the conventional thermal power plant 1 which can suppress the discharge | emission amount of a carbon dioxide simply can be implement | achieved.

  In addition, the dehydrogenation device 400 performs dehydrogenation by adding heat of the high-temperature air taken out from the air outlet of the air preheater 700 to the organic compound to generate hydrogen. That is, the dehydrogenation device 400 can easily generate hydrogen by using the heat extracted from the air outlet of the air preheater 700. In particular, when using the heat of the high-temperature air taken out from the air outlet of the air preheater 700, there is less concern about erosion due to ash or the like contained in the exhaust gas. It is desirable to use it. Thereby, in the conventional thermal power plant 1, the discharge amount of carbon dioxide can be easily suppressed.

  In addition, the dehydrogenation apparatus 400 only needs to supply hydrogen at normal temperature and normal pressure to the boiler 100, so there is no need to increase the pressure of the generated hydrogen. For this reason, in the conventional thermal power plant 1, hydrogen can be easily supplied to the boiler 100 to generate electric power, so that the emission amount of carbon dioxide can be easily suppressed.

  In addition, when hydrogen is supplied to a gas turbine in combined cycle power generation or the like, it is necessary to increase the pressure to about 1.3 to 5 MPa. However, in the conventional thermal power plant 1, hydrogen at normal temperature and normal pressure is used. Since it suffices to supply to the boiler 100, handling of hydrogen is easy, and reduction in power generation efficiency can be suppressed.

  Moreover, the dehydrogenation apparatus 400 produces | generates hydrogen by dehydrogenating from the organic compound hydrogenated using the organic chemical hydride method. Thereby, in the conventional thermal power plant 1, since it can generate | occur | produce electricity by producing | generating hydrogen easily, the discharge | emission amount of a carbon dioxide can be suppressed easily.

  Moreover, in the conventional thermal power plant 1, by performing a power generation by co-firing hydrogen and coal, it is possible to easily suppress the amount of carbon dioxide emission that increases due to the combustion of coal.

  Further, the dehydrogenation apparatus 400 can utilize the generated hydrogen as cooling hydrogen for the generator 300.
