Definitions
- the present invention relates to a coal thermal power plant aiming at capturing CO 2 and more particularly to an oxyfuel boiler suitable for capturing the CO 2 of the coal thermal power plant and a control method for the oxyfuel boiler.
- the thermal power plant is one of the facilities discharging a large quantity of CO 2 and particularly, the coal thermal power plant including a coal boiler of burning coal containing a large quantity of carbon and generating a large quantity of CO 2 in combustion exhaust gas discharges the largest quantity of CO 2 per generated energy and an immediate CO 2 reduction countermeasure is required.
- the CO 2 separation and capture use a method for taking out, compressing, and liquefying CO 2 from the combustion exhaust gas generated in the coal thermal power plant and storing the liquefied CO 2 deep underground through a pipe line.
- the separation and capture method of CO 2 in combustion exhaust gas which is applied to the coal thermal power plant is broadly divided into three types of (1) pre-combustion capture, (2) post-combustion capture, and (3) oxyfuel-combustion.
- the pre-combustion capture method of (1) is a method of capturing CO 2 from a mixed gas of H 2 (hydrogen) and CO 2 obtained by the reaction of coal and water vapor using a physical absorption method and using the residual H 2 as fuel. If the fuel is H 2 , no CO 2 is generated from combustion.
- the post-combustion capture method of (2) is a method of capturing CO 2 from combustion exhaust gas obtained by ordinary coal combustion (called air combustion) in the air using the film separation method.
- the main components of the combustion exhaust gas are N 2 (nitrogen) contained in the air and CO 2 generated by combustion and the method separates them and captures only CO 2 .
- the oxyfuel-combustion method of (3) is a method, by use of a constitution that oxygen is separated from air, and the separated pure oxygen is supplied to the coal boiler, and coal fuel is burned, thus the coal boiler is used as an oxyfuel boiler, for supplying mixed gas as a part of combustion exhaust gas (the main component is CO 2 ) generated by burning coal using the oxyfuel boiler and the pure oxygen to the oxyfuel boiler as an oxidizing gas, thereby burning the coal.
- combustion exhaust gas generated by a conventional boiler contains a large quantity of nitrogen (N 2 ), so that a process of separating carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from exhaust gas discharged from the conventional boiler is necessary, though the component of combustion exhaust gas generated by the oxyfuel boiler is almost all CO 2 , so that without performing the CO 2 separation process on the exhaust gas, CO 2 can be captured straight.
- N 2 nitrogen
- CO 2 carbon dioxide
- Mixing oxygen with CO 2 as an oxidizing gas supplied to the oxyfuel boiler is to suppress the flame temperature burning in the coal boiler.
- the oxyfuel boiler changes the quantity of combustion exhaust gas to be mixed with oxygen, thereby adjusting the oxygen concentration of the oxidizing gas, thus the balance of the heat absorption rate of the heat exchangers and the overall heat absorption rate of the boiler can be changed, so that adoption of a control method for producing a condition close to that of the air-fuel combustion by use of it may be considered.
- control method of the oxyfuel boiler in which the coal boiler described in Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 2007-147162 performs oxyfuel combustion presets a target value of the heat absorption rate of the boiler according to the load request, controls the exhaust gas circulation rate so as to make the measured value of the heat absorption rate equal to the target value, thereby adjusting the oxygen concentration of the oxidizing gas.
- the target value aforementioned is set so as to be equal to the target heat absorption rate set in an existing air-fuel boiler. Furthermore, for the oxygen supply rate, a set value according to the load request is provided.
- control method of the oxyfuel boiler in which the coal boiler described in Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 2007-147162 performs oxyfuel combustion controls the oxygen quantity supplied to the coal boiler to the set value according to the boiler load and controls the exhaust gas circulation rate so as to make the heat absorption rate of the boiler equal to that of the existing air-fuel boiler. Therefore, if the oxygen concentration supplied to the coal boiler is changed, as mentioned above, not only the overall heat absorption rate of the boiler but also the balance of the heat absorption rate of each heat exchanger composing the boiler is changed.
- the heat absorption balance of each heat exchanger may fall into a condition greatly different from that under the air-fuel combustion condition. Furthermore, in some of the heat exchangers, if the heat absorption rate is excessively larger than that under the air-fuel combustion condition, the heat absorption rate exceeds the limit of the heat resistance of the material and it may result in damage to the material.
- the oxygen concentration supplied to compensate for the reduction of the heat absorption efficiency of the boiler is controlled so as to increase, so that the gas temperature of the furnace rises in accordance with it, thus the heat absorption rate of the furnace increases, and the thermal damage of the material advances more.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a highly reliable oxyfuel boiler in which when the coal boiler operated as an existing air-fuel boiler is operated as an oxyfuel boiler, the expense required for modification can be suppressed, and the damage to the oxyfuel boiler due to high temperature gas is prevented, and stable operations are available over a long period of time and a control method for the oxyfuel boiler.

- control unit 150 is installed in the coal thermal power plant including the oxyfuel boiler 1 of this embodiment.
- the detailed constitution of the control unit 150 will be explained later.
- the recirculation system 25 is structured so as to supply recirculation exhaust gas to the oxyfuel boiler 1 via the oxygen heater 5 , so that the recirculation exhaust gas is heated by exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust gas system 41 by the oxygen heater 5 , then is supplied to the oxyfuel boiler 1 via the recirculation system 25 , and burns pulverized coal supplied from the coal supply system 3 in the oxyfuel boiler 1 as oxidizing gas mixed with oxygen supplied via the oxygen supply system 24 .
- the oxidizing gas supplied to the oxyfuel boiler 1 is mixed gas of the pure oxygen supplied from the oxygen supply system 24 and the recirculation gas supplied via the recirculation system 25 .
- the control unit 150 adjusts the pure oxygen supply rate by controlling the operation of the air separation unit 23 according to an instruction signal calculated by the control unit 150 , while adjusting the exhaust gas circulation rate by controlling the number of revolutions of the recirculation fan 26 according to the instruction signal calculated by the control unit 150 , thereby controls so as to make the oxygen concentration contained in the oxidizing gas composed of a mixed gas of pure oxygen and circulation exhaust gas equal to a desired value are implemented.
- the supply rate as oxidizing gas supplied to the oxyfuel boiler 1 is a total value of the pure oxygen supply rate and the circulation exhaust gas rate. Further, the oxygen contained in the oxidizing gas added with oxygen supplied from the air separation unit 23 and slight oxygen remaining in the circulation exhaust gas is supplied to the oxyfuel boiler 1 .
- An increase in the oxygen concentration of the oxidizing gas supplied to the oxyfuel boiler 1 is executed by increasing the pure oxygen supply rate by controlling the operation of the air separation unit 23 or decreasing the exhaust gas circulation rate by controlling the number of revolutions of the recirculation fan 26 .
- the supply rate of coal as fuel supplied to the oxyfuel boiler 1 is adjusted by controlling the operation of the coal supply unit 2 .
- control unit 150 By the control unit 150 aforementioned, the oxygen supply rate, exhaust gas circulation rate, and coal supply rate which are parameters for controlling the combustion condition in the oxyfuel boiler 1 are adjusted.
- the portion of a furnace 1 a calculates the absorption rate obtained by vapor using the calculated value of the sensor and the oxygen concentration of the oxidizing gas is controlled on the basis of the calculated value of the heat absorption rate.
- the position of a boundary 201 between the furnace 1 a and a heat recovery area 1 b is an exit 1 c of the furnace and the upstream side of the boundary 210 is called the furnace 1 a and the downstream side thereof is called the heat recovery area 1 b.
- a combustion burner 101 is installed and pulverized coal supplied from the combustion burner 101 and oxidizing gas composed of a mixed gas of oxygen and recirculation exhaust gas are burnt and generate high-temperature combustion gas.
- High-temperature combustion gas has a structure of flowing in the furnace 1 a toward the boiler exit 1 c by transferring heat to vapor flowing through a plurality of heat exchangers which are installed in the oxyfuel boiler 1 and are composed of water pipes.
- a water pipe called a spiral pipe 102 is arranged spirally and on the upper wall surface of the furnace 1 a , water pipes called open pass pipes 103 are arranged vertically.
- the spiral pipe 102 and open pass pipes 103 are called a water wall in batch.
- water pipes 104 called a cage wall are installed.
- the water wall and cage wall are water pipes installed on the wall surface, though in the oxyfuel boiler 1 , a plurality of heat exchangers composed of water pipes are installed.
- secondary super heaters 111 are suspended from the ceiling of the furnace 1 a . Further, on the downstream side of the secondary super heaters 111 , the heat exchangers of tertiary super heaters 112 , repeaters 113 , primary super heaters 114 , and economizers 115 are arranged sequentially in the direction of flow of combustion gas.
- the balance of the heat absorption rate of the heat exchangers is changed due to the adjustment of the oxygen concentration of the oxidizing gas composed of a mixed gas of pure oxygen supplied from the oxygen supply system 24 and recirculation exhaust gas supplied via the recirculation system 25 depends on the heat transfer form called convection heat transfer and radiation heat transfer.
- the convection heat transfer is referred to as a heat transfer phenomenon that on the contact surface between high-temperature combustion gas and each water pipe, the heat transfers due to the temperature difference between the two.
- the radiation heat transfer is a phenomenon that electromagnetic waves emitted from the high-temperature combustion gas are absorbed by the water pipes and are converted to heat energy, thus the heat transfers.
- the heat transfer from the combustion gas to the heat exchangers in the boiler is always acted by both convection heat transfer and radiation heat transfer.
- the heat transfer by radiation heat transfer is dominant and in the region of comparatively low-temperature combustion gas as the heat recovery area 1 b , the heat transfer by convection heat transfer is dominant.
- the reason is that there is a physical property that the heat transfer rate due to the radiation heat transfer is proportional to the biquadratic of the gas temperature.
- the exhaust gas circulation rate supplied to the oxyfuel boiler 1 via the recirculation system 25 is reduced to increase the oxygen concentration contained in the oxidizing gas, the flame temperature in the furnace 1 a rises, so that the radiation heat transfer rate in the furnace 1 a increases, and the heat absorption rate on the side of the furnace 1 a increases.
- the gas flow rate flowing through the oxyfuel boiler 1 is reduced and the gas flow rate is lowered.
- the convection heat transfer has a physical property that if the gas flow rate is reduced, the heat transfer rate reduces.
- the exhaust gas circulation rate supplied to the oxyfuel boiler 1 is reduced to increase the oxygen concentration contained in the oxidizing gas, there is a tendency that the heat absorption rate on the side of the furnace 1 a where the radiation heat transfer is dominant is increased, while the heat absorption rate on the side of the heat recovery area 1 b where the convection heat transfer is dominant is reduced.
- the overall heat absorption rate of the boiler including the side of the furnace 1 a and the side of the heat recovery area 1 b
- the overall heat absorption rate of the boiler is apt to increase. The reason is that if the gas temperature is high, the heat transfer efficiency is high.
- the heat exchangers installed in the boiler use an expensive material with excellent heat resistance in the high-temperature region and use a low-priced material with not so excellent heat resistance in the comparatively low-temperature region. Therefore, when the existing air-fuel boiler is modified to an oxyfuel boiler, thus the balance of the heat absorption of oxygen combustion is changed greatly from the balance of the heat absorption of air combustion, the conditions such as temperature which are the selection criteria of the material at the design stage are changed, so that from the viewpoint of the heat resistance of the material, the situation of an impossible operation may be predicted.
- the heat absorption rate obtained by vapor is calculated by the control unit 150 using the measured values of the sensors installed in the furnace 1 a shown in FIG. 2 and the oxygen concentration of the oxidizing gas supplied to the oxyfuel boiler 1 is controlled on the basis of the calculated value of the heat absorption rate.
- control unit 150 As a controller and a calculator composing the control unit 150 , as shown in FIG. 3 , a furnace heat absorption rate calculator 151 for calculating the heat absorption rate of the furnace 1 a is installed, and the furnace heat absorption rate calculator 151 calculates the heat absorption rate obtained by vapor in the furnace 1 a on the basis of the measured values measured by the various sensors of an entrance temperature sensor 14 c , an exit temperature sensor 14 d , a pressure sensor 14 e , and a flow rate sensor 14 f which are installed in each heat exchanger positioned on the side of the furnace 1 a.
- the water walls 102 and 103 and the secondary super heater 111 conform.

Description
- The present application claims priority from Japanese patent application serial No. 2009-165492, filed on Jul. 14, 2009, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference into this application.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a coal thermal power plant aiming at capturing CO2 and more particularly to an oxyfuel boiler suitable for capturing the CO2 of the coal thermal power plant and a control method for the oxyfuel boiler.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- As a global warming countermeasure, the action of discharge reduction of CO2 (carbon dioxide) that is one of the green house gases is taken all over the world. The thermal power plant is one of the facilities discharging a large quantity of CO2 and particularly, the coal thermal power plant including a coal boiler of burning coal containing a large quantity of carbon and generating a large quantity of CO2 in combustion exhaust gas discharges the largest quantity of CO2 per generated energy and an immediate CO2 reduction countermeasure is required.
- As a CO2 reduction countermeasure of the coal thermal power plant, in addition to the realization of high efficiency of power generation, the separation and capture of CO2 from combustion exhaust gas generated by combustion in the coal boiler may be cited.
- The CO2 separation and capture use a method for taking out, compressing, and liquefying CO2 from the combustion exhaust gas generated in the coal thermal power plant and storing the liquefied CO2 deep underground through a pipe line.
- The separation and capture method of CO2 in combustion exhaust gas which is applied to the coal thermal power plant is broadly divided into three types of (1) pre-combustion capture, (2) post-combustion capture, and (3) oxyfuel-combustion.
- The pre-combustion capture method of (1) is a method of capturing CO2 from a mixed gas of H2 (hydrogen) and CO2 obtained by the reaction of coal and water vapor using a physical absorption method and using the residual H2 as fuel. If the fuel is H2, no CO2 is generated from combustion.
- The post-combustion capture method of (2) is a method of capturing CO2 from combustion exhaust gas obtained by ordinary coal combustion (called air combustion) in the air using the film separation method. In this case, the main components of the combustion exhaust gas are N2 (nitrogen) contained in the air and CO2 generated by combustion and the method separates them and captures only CO2.
- For the two CO2 separation and capture methods aforementioned, the oxyfuel-combustion method of (3) is a method, by use of a constitution that oxygen is separated from air, and the separated pure oxygen is supplied to the coal boiler, and coal fuel is burned, thus the coal boiler is used as an oxyfuel boiler, for supplying mixed gas as a part of combustion exhaust gas (the main component is CO2) generated by burning coal using the oxyfuel boiler and the pure oxygen to the oxyfuel boiler as an oxidizing gas, thereby burning the coal.
- On the other hand, combustion exhaust gas generated by a conventional boiler contains a large quantity of nitrogen (N2), so that a process of separating carbon dioxide (CO2) from exhaust gas discharged from the conventional boiler is necessary, though the component of combustion exhaust gas generated by the oxyfuel boiler is almost all CO2, so that without performing the CO2 separation process on the exhaust gas, CO2 can be captured straight.
- Mixing oxygen with CO2 as an oxidizing gas supplied to the oxyfuel boiler is to suppress the flame temperature burning in the coal boiler.
- In the combustion of supplying only oxygen to the coal boiler and burning pulverized coal (combustion of pure oxygen), the flame temperature burning in the coal boiler rises, so that from the viewpoint of the necessity of expensive heat resistant steel as a boiler material and from the viewpoint that the blowing flow rate of oxidizing gas at a burner installed in the coal boiler is lowered and flame formation is difficult, no pure oxygen combustion is executed in the coal boiler.
- When modifying the coal boiler from air-fuel combustion to oxyfuel combustion, if the balance of the heat absorption rate in the oxyfuel combustion can reproduce the balance of the heat absorption rate in the air-fuel combustion, the modification for changing the heat transfer area is unnecessary, thus the modification cost of the boiler can be greatly suppressed.
- Here, the oxyfuel boiler changes the quantity of combustion exhaust gas to be mixed with oxygen, thereby adjusting the oxygen concentration of the oxidizing gas, thus the balance of the heat absorption rate of the heat exchangers and the overall heat absorption rate of the boiler can be changed, so that adoption of a control method for producing a condition close to that of the air-fuel combustion by use of it may be considered.
- For example, the control method of the oxyfuel boiler in which the coal boiler described in Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 2007-147162 performs oxyfuel combustion presets a target value of the heat absorption rate of the boiler according to the load request, controls the exhaust gas circulation rate so as to make the measured value of the heat absorption rate equal to the target value, thereby adjusting the oxygen concentration of the oxidizing gas.
- The target value aforementioned is set so as to be equal to the target heat absorption rate set in an existing air-fuel boiler. Furthermore, for the oxygen supply rate, a set value according to the load request is provided.
- Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 2007-147162
- However, the control method of the oxyfuel boiler in which the coal boiler described in Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 2007-147162 performs oxyfuel combustion controls the oxygen quantity supplied to the coal boiler to the set value according to the boiler load and controls the exhaust gas circulation rate so as to make the heat absorption rate of the boiler equal to that of the existing air-fuel boiler. Therefore, if the oxygen concentration supplied to the coal boiler is changed, as mentioned above, not only the overall heat absorption rate of the boiler but also the balance of the heat absorption rate of each heat exchanger composing the boiler is changed.
- Therefore, using only the heat absorption rate of the boiler as a control index, when the oxygen concentration supplied to the coal boiler is controlled so as to increase so that the control index meets the target value equal to that of the existing air-fuel boiler, it may be considered that the heat absorption balance of each heat exchanger may fall into a condition greatly different from that under the air-fuel combustion condition. Furthermore, in some of the heat exchangers, if the heat absorption rate is excessively larger than that under the air-fuel combustion condition, the heat absorption rate exceeds the limit of the heat resistance of the material and it may result in damage to the material.

FIGS. 1 to 5 . -
FIG. 1 is a schematic constitution showing the constitution of the coal thermal power plant suitable for CO2 capture having the oxyfuel boiler that is a first embodiment of the present invention. - The coal thermal power plant having the oxyfuel boiler which is a first embodiment of the present invention includes an
oxyfuel boiler 1 for burning pulverized coal as fuel by oxygen separately supplied by the coal boiler. Theoxyfuel boiler 1 has the same structure as that of an ordinary air-fuel boiler for burning pulverized coal as fuel by supplying air. - In the
oxyfuel boiler 1, coal as fuel is pulverized to pulverized coal by acoal supply unit 2 and the pulverized coal is supplied to theoxyfuel boiler 1 via acoal supply system 3 from thecoal supply unit 2 and is burnt together with oxygen separately supplied. - Combustion exhaust gas generated by burning pulverized coal as fuel together with oxygen by the
oxyfuel boiler 1 is led intodenitrification equipment 4 installed on the downstream side of theoxyfuel boiler 1 as exhaust gas via an exhaust gas system 41 from theoxyfuel boiler 1 and is reduced so as to make the concentration of a nitrogen oxide (NOx) contained in the exhaust gas discharged from theoxyfuel boiler 1 equal to a desired value. - The exhaust gas flowing through the
denitrification equipment 4 is introduced into anoxygen heater 5 installed on the downstream side of thedenitrification equipment 4 via the exhaust gas system 41 and gas supplied to theoxyfuel boiler 1 is heated by theoxygen heater 5 using the heat of the passing exhaust gas. - The exhaust gas flowing through the
oxygen heater 5 is introduced into adust collector 6 installed on the downstream side of theoxygen heater 5 via the exhaust gas system 41 and dust included in the exhaust gas is removed by thedust collector 6. - Furthermore, the exhaust gas flowing through the
dust collector 6 is introduced into desulfurization equipment 7 installed on the downstream side of thedust collector 6 via the exhaust gas system 41 and is reduced so as to make the concentration of a sulfur oxide (SOx) contained in the exhaust gas equal to a desired value. - In the
oxyfuel boiler 1, pluralities of heat exchangers (not drawn) which are heated by combustion exhaust gas flowing through the inside of theoxyfuel boiler 1 and generate vapor are installed. - And, high-pressure and high-temperature vapor generated by the heat exchangers of the
oxyfuel boiler 1 is supplied to a high-pressure steam turbine 8 composing asteam turbine facility 50 that is a vapor demand facility via avapor system 31 and drives the high-pressure steam turbine 8. The high-pressure vapor flow rate supplied to the high-pressure steam turbine 8 from theoxyfuel boiler 1 is controlled by acontrol valve 10 installed in thevapor system 31. - Vapor which drives the high-
pressure steam turbine 8 and is discharged is supplied to the heat exchangers installed in theoxyfuel boiler 1 via avapor system 33 and low-pressure and high-temperature vapor reheated by the heat exchangers is supplied to a low-pressure steam turbine 9 composing thesteam turbine facility 50 via avapor system 32 from theoxyfuel boiler 1 by combustion exhaust gas flowing through the inside of theoxyfuel boiler 1 and drives the low-pressure steam turbine 9. - In the
steam turbine facility 50, agenerator 11 driven by the high-pressure steam turbine 8 and the low-pressure steam turbine 9 so as to rotate and generate power is installed. And, the vapor that drives the low-pressure steam turbine 9 and is discharged flows into acondenser 12 via avapor system 34, is cooled by thecondenser 12, and is condensed to water. - The condensed water condensed by the
condenser 12 is raised in pressure by awater supply pump 13 installed in awater supply system 35 and is supplied to a heat exchanger (not drawn) of theoxyfuel boiler 1 as feed water. - In the gas exit portion of the
oxyfuel boiler 1, as shown inFIG. 2 , an exhaustgas temperature sensor 14 a for measuring the temperature of combustion exhaust gas that is a condition quantity of the plant and an exhaustgas composition sensor 14 b for measuring the concentration of oxygen of the exhaust gas are installed. And, in the coal thermal power plant including theoxyfuel boiler 1, acontrol unit 150 for executing various kinds of control is installed. - Here, in an actual coal thermal power plant, various sensors for measuring the condition quantities are installed in the main devices other than the oxyfuel boiler and the
control unit 150 transfers a control signal for operating the main devices on the basis of the condition quantities of the plant measured from the various sensors installed in the main devices composing the coal thermal power plant and controls the operation of the coal thermal power plant. - Further, in the coal thermal power plant of this embodiment shown in
FIG. 1 , the constitution related to the operation of theoxyfuel boiler 1 is mostly shown and the other constitution is omitted. - Further, the main devices composing the coal thermal power plant explained above are devices installed in a coal thermal power plant including an ordinary air-fuel boiler (the
oxygen heater 5, in an ordinary coal thermal power plant, heats air supplied to the air-fuel boiler, so that it is called an air heater). - In the coal thermal power plant including the
oxyfuel boiler 1 of this embodiment, in the constitution different from that of the coal thermal power plant including the ordinary air-fuel boiler, as shown inFIG. 1 , a coolingdehumidifier 21 and a carbondioxide liquefying facility 22 which are devices necessary to separate and capture CO2 in exhaust gas are installed. - Namely, the cooling
dehumidifier 21 for cooling exhaust gas flowing through the desulfurization equipment 7 and removing moisture is installed in the exhaust gas system 41 on the downstream side of the desulfurization equipment 7 and the exhaust gas (mainly CO2) which flows through the coolingdehumidifier 21 and passes the steps of dust removal, denitrification, desulfurization, and dehumidification is introduced into the carbondioxide liquefying facility 22 installed on the downstream side of the coolingdehumidifier 21 via the exhaust gas system 41 and CO2 in the exhaust gas is separated, compressed, and liquefied by the carbondioxide liquefying facility 22. - CO2 liquefied by compression and liquefaction by the carbon
dioxide liquefying facility 22 is conveyed to a storing facility not drawn from the carbondioxide liquefying facility 22 via a carbondioxide capture system 42 and is stored. - Furthermore, as a facility necessary to modify the ordinary air-fuel boiler to an
oxyfuel boiler 1, in this embodiment, anair separation unit 23 for separating oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) from air taken in from the atmosphere is installed on the upstream side of theoxyfuel boiler 1 and the oxygen separated by theair separation unit 23 is supplied to theoxyfuel boiler 1 via anoxygen supply system 24 and burns pulverized coal supplied from thecoal supply system 3 in theoxyfuel boiler 1 as oxidizing gas mixed with exhaust gas recirculating via arecirculation system 25. - The
oxygen supply system 24 for supplying pure oxygen separated by theair separation unit 23 or oxygen (slightly containing nitrogen as an impurity) is structured so as to supply it to theoxyfuel boiler 1 via theoxygen heater 5, so that the pure oxygen or oxygen aforementioned is heated by theoxygen heater 5 by exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust gas system 41, then is supplied to theoxyfuel boiler 1 via theoxygen supply system 24, and is used to burn pulverized coal. Further, gas (mainly N2) after oxygen is removed from air by theair separation unit 23 is discharged outside the system. - In the coal thermal power plant including the
oxyfuel boiler 1 of this embodiment, as a facility necessary to modify the ordinary air-fuel boiler to anoxyfuel boiler 1, therecirculation system 25 for leading a part of exhaust gas branched from the exhaust gas system 41 between thedust collector 6 and the desulfurization equipment 7 and permitting theoxyfuel boiler 1 to recirculate is installed. Therecirculation system 25 includes arecirculation fan 26 and is structured so as to send a part of the exhaust gas branched from the exhaust gas system 41 to theoxyfuel boiler 1 as recirculating exhaust gas. - And, in the coal thermal power plant including the
oxyfuel boiler 1 of this embodiment, as a facility necessary to modify the ordinary air-fuel boiler to anoxyfuel boiler 1, thecontrol unit 150 is installed. The detailed constitution of thecontrol unit 150 will be explained later. - In the
oxyfuel boiler 1 of this embodiment, therecirculation system 25 is structured so as to supply recirculation exhaust gas to theoxyfuel boiler 1 via theoxygen heater 5, so that the recirculation exhaust gas is heated by exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust gas system 41 by theoxygen heater 5, then is supplied to theoxyfuel boiler 1 via therecirculation system 25, and burns pulverized coal supplied from thecoal supply system 3 in theoxyfuel boiler 1 as oxidizing gas mixed with oxygen supplied via theoxygen supply system 24. - As mentioned above, the oxidizing gas supplied to the
oxyfuel boiler 1 is mixed gas of the pure oxygen supplied from theoxygen supply system 24 and the recirculation gas supplied via therecirculation system 25. - The
control unit 150 adjusts the pure oxygen supply rate by controlling the operation of theair separation unit 23 according to an instruction signal calculated by thecontrol unit 150, while adjusting the exhaust gas circulation rate by controlling the number of revolutions of therecirculation fan 26 according to the instruction signal calculated by thecontrol unit 150, thereby controls so as to make the oxygen concentration contained in the oxidizing gas composed of a mixed gas of pure oxygen and circulation exhaust gas equal to a desired value are implemented. - The supply rate as oxidizing gas supplied to the
oxyfuel boiler 1 is a total value of the pure oxygen supply rate and the circulation exhaust gas rate. Further, the oxygen contained in the oxidizing gas added with oxygen supplied from theair separation unit 23 and slight oxygen remaining in the circulation exhaust gas is supplied to theoxyfuel boiler 1. - An increase in the oxygen concentration of the oxidizing gas supplied to the
oxyfuel boiler 1 is executed by increasing the pure oxygen supply rate by controlling the operation of theair separation unit 23 or decreasing the exhaust gas circulation rate by controlling the number of revolutions of therecirculation fan 26. - On the other hand, the supply rate of coal as fuel supplied to the
oxyfuel boiler 1 is adjusted by controlling the operation of thecoal supply unit 2. - By the
control unit 150 aforementioned, the oxygen supply rate, exhaust gas circulation rate, and coal supply rate which are parameters for controlling the combustion condition in theoxyfuel boiler 1 are adjusted. - In the control of the oxygen concentration of the oxidizing gas supplied to the
oxyfuel boiler 1 of the coal thermal power plant including the oxyfuel boiler of this embodiment, in addition to the flow rate of fuel (coal) supplied to theoxyfuel boiler 1, a part of the heat exchangers of theoxyfuel boiler 1, for example, the portion of afurnace 1 a calculates the absorption rate obtained by vapor using the calculated value of the sensor and the oxygen concentration of the oxidizing gas is controlled on the basis of the calculated value of the heat absorption rate. - In the
oxyfuel boiler 1 for burning pulverized coal in the coal thermal power plant including the oxyfuel boiler of this embodiment, as shown inFIG. 2 , the position of aboundary 201 between thefurnace 1 a and aheat recovery area 1 b is anexit 1 c of the furnace and the upstream side of the boundary 210 is called thefurnace 1 a and the downstream side thereof is called theheat recovery area 1 b. - On the lower part of the
furnace 1 a, acombustion burner 101 is installed and pulverized coal supplied from thecombustion burner 101 and oxidizing gas composed of a mixed gas of oxygen and recirculation exhaust gas are burnt and generate high-temperature combustion gas. - High-temperature combustion gas has a structure of flowing in the
furnace 1 a toward theboiler exit 1 c by transferring heat to vapor flowing through a plurality of heat exchangers which are installed in theoxyfuel boiler 1 and are composed of water pipes. - On the lower wall surface of the
furnace 1 a, a water pipe called aspiral pipe 102 is arranged spirally and on the upper wall surface of thefurnace 1 a, water pipes calledopen pass pipes 103 are arranged vertically. Thespiral pipe 102 andopen pass pipes 103 are called a water wall in batch. - Further, on the wall surface on the side of the
heat recovery area 1 b shown inFIG. 2 ,water pipes 104 called a cage wall are installed. The water wall and cage wall are water pipes installed on the wall surface, though in theoxyfuel boiler 1, a plurality of heat exchangers composed of water pipes are installed. - Among these heat exchangers, secondary
super heaters 111 are suspended from the ceiling of thefurnace 1 a. Further, on the downstream side of the secondarysuper heaters 111, the heat exchangers of tertiarysuper heaters 112,repeaters 113, primarysuper heaters 114, andeconomizers 115 are arranged sequentially in the direction of flow of combustion gas. - In the coal thermal power plant including the
oxyfuel boiler 1 of this embodiment, the balance of the heat absorption rate of the heat exchangers is changed due to the adjustment of the oxygen concentration of the oxidizing gas composed of a mixed gas of pure oxygen supplied from theoxygen supply system 24 and recirculation exhaust gas supplied via therecirculation system 25 depends on the heat transfer form called convection heat transfer and radiation heat transfer. - The convection heat transfer is referred to as a heat transfer phenomenon that on the contact surface between high-temperature combustion gas and each water pipe, the heat transfers due to the temperature difference between the two. On the other hand, the radiation heat transfer is a phenomenon that electromagnetic waves emitted from the high-temperature combustion gas are absorbed by the water pipes and are converted to heat energy, thus the heat transfers.
- The heat transfer from the combustion gas to the heat exchangers in the boiler is always acted by both convection heat transfer and radiation heat transfer. At this time, in the region of high-temperature combustion gas as the
furnace 1 a, the heat transfer by radiation heat transfer is dominant and in the region of comparatively low-temperature combustion gas as theheat recovery area 1 b, the heat transfer by convection heat transfer is dominant. The reason is that there is a physical property that the heat transfer rate due to the radiation heat transfer is proportional to the biquadratic of the gas temperature. - Therefore, in the
oxyfuel boiler 1, if the exhaust gas circulation rate supplied to theoxyfuel boiler 1 via therecirculation system 25 is reduced to increase the oxygen concentration contained in the oxidizing gas, the flame temperature in thefurnace 1 a rises, so that the radiation heat transfer rate in thefurnace 1 a increases, and the heat absorption rate on the side of thefurnace 1 a increases. - On the other hand, if the exhaust gas circulation rate supplied to the
oxyfuel boiler 1 via therecirculation system 25 is reduced, the gas flow rate flowing through theoxyfuel boiler 1 is reduced and the gas flow rate is lowered. At this time, the convection heat transfer has a physical property that if the gas flow rate is reduced, the heat transfer rate reduces. - Therefore, if the exhaust gas circulation rate supplied to the
oxyfuel boiler 1 via therecirculation system 25 is reduced to increase the oxygen concentration contained in the oxidizing gas, the heat absorption rate in theheat recovery area 1 b where the convection heat transfer is dominant is reduced. - Namely, in the
oxyfuel boiler 1, if the exhaust gas circulation rate supplied to theoxyfuel boiler 1 is reduced to increase the oxygen concentration contained in the oxidizing gas, there is a tendency that the heat absorption rate on the side of thefurnace 1 a where the radiation heat transfer is dominant is increased, while the heat absorption rate on the side of theheat recovery area 1 b where the convection heat transfer is dominant is reduced. - Further, when the exhaust gas circulation rate supplied to the
oxyfuel boiler 1 is increased and the oxygen concentration contained in the oxidizing gas is reduced, the action is reversed. - From the phenomena aforementioned, if the oxygen concentration contained in the oxidizing gas supplied to the
oxyfuel boiler 1 is adjusted, the balance of the heat absorption rates of the heat exchangers installed in theoxyfuel boiler 1 can be changed. - Further, with respect to the overall heat absorption rate of the boiler including the side of the
furnace 1 a and the side of theheat recovery area 1 b, in the case of a general air-fuel boiler, if the exhaust gas circulation rate is reduced and the oxygen concentration is increased, the overall heat absorption rate of the boiler is apt to increase. The reason is that if the gas temperature is high, the heat transfer efficiency is high. - When modifying the existing air-fuel boiler for burning pulverized coal with air to an
oxyfuel boiler 1 for burning pulverized coal with oxygen, from the viewpoint of the modification cost, even in the case of oxygen combustion, it is preferable to reproduce the same balance of the heat absorption rates of the heat exchangers in the air combustion. The reason is that at the design stage of the boiler, the material of the heat exchangers is selected on the basis of the balance of the heat absorption rate of each heat exchanger (the vapor temperature and pressure in the water pipes and gas temperature outside the water pipes). - The heat exchangers installed in the boiler use an expensive material with excellent heat resistance in the high-temperature region and use a low-priced material with not so excellent heat resistance in the comparatively low-temperature region. Therefore, when the existing air-fuel boiler is modified to an oxyfuel boiler, thus the balance of the heat absorption of oxygen combustion is changed greatly from the balance of the heat absorption of air combustion, the conditions such as temperature which are the selection criteria of the material at the design stage are changed, so that from the viewpoint of the heat resistance of the material, the situation of an impossible operation may be predicted.
- To respond to such a case, it may be considered to perform a modification of changing the heat transfer area (concretely, add or delete water pipes) so as to keep the heat exchangers included in the
oxyfuel boiler 1 under the service temperature limit of the material, though it is inferred that the modification requires a considerable cost. - Therefore, in the
oxyfuel boiler 1 of this embodiment included in the coal thermal power plant, in addition to the supply rate of fuel supplied to theoxyfuel boiler 1, the heat absorption rate obtained by vapor is calculated by thecontrol unit 150 using the measured values of the sensors installed in thefurnace 1 a shown inFIG. 2 and the oxygen concentration of the oxidizing gas supplied to theoxyfuel boiler 1 is controlled on the basis of the calculated value of the heat absorption rate. - The detailed description of the constitution of the
control unit 150 is as indicated below. In thecontrol unit 150, as a controller and a calculator composing thecontrol unit 150, as shown inFIG. 3 , a furnace heatabsorption rate calculator 151 for calculating the heat absorption rate of thefurnace 1 a is installed, and the furnace heatabsorption rate calculator 151 calculates the heat absorption rate obtained by vapor in thefurnace 1 a on the basis of the measured values measured by the various sensors of anentrance temperature sensor 14 c, anexit temperature sensor 14 d, apressure sensor 14 e, and aflow rate sensor 14 f which are installed in each heat exchanger positioned on the side of thefurnace 1 a. - In the example of the
oxyfuel boiler 1 shown inFIG. 2 , to the heat exchangers installed in thefurnace 1 a, thewater walls super heater 111 conform. - The furnace heat
absorption rate calculator 151 includes the functions of the operation expressions of Formulas (1) and (2) indicated below, calculates the sum total of the heat absorption rates of the heat exchangers using the measured values measured by the various sensors on the basis of Formulas (1) and (2) of the operation expressions, and thereby obtains the heat absorption rate obtained by vapor in thefurnace 1 a. - Firstly, the furnace heat
absorption rate calculator 151, on the basis of Formula (1) of the operation expression, using the measured values of theentrance temperature sensor 14 c,exit temperature sensor 14 d, andpressure sensor 14 e installed on thewater walls super heater 111 of each heat exchanger installed in thefurnace 1 a, calculates the entrance vapor enthalpy or exit vapor enthalpy of each heat exchanger. - Next, the furnace heat
absorption rate calculator 151, on the basis of Formula (2) of the operation expression, obtains the sum total of the heat absorption rates of thewater walls super heater 111 of each heat exchanger installed in thefurnace 1 a as an operator, and thereby calculates the heat absorption rate of thefurnace 1 a. -

- In the
control unit 150 for controlling theoxyfuel boiler 1 of this embodiment, as a controller and a calculator composing thecontrol unit 150, furthermore, a fuelflow rate controller 154 for calculating an instruction signal for adjusting the drive condition of thecoal supply unit 2 so as to make the fuel supplied to theoxyfuel boiler 1 equal to a desired fuel flow rate and outputting it to thecoal supply unit 2 and an exhaust gasrecirculation rate controller 160 for calculating an instruction signal for adjusting the drive condition of therecirculation fan 26 so as to obtain a desired exhaust gas recirculation rate and outputting it to therecirculation fan 26 are installed. - The exhaust gas
recirculation rate controller 160, as shown inFIG. 4 , to calculate the instruction signal of the exhaust gas recirculation rate, fetches two signals. One of the signals is aninstruction signal 164 of the fuel flow rate that is calculated and outputted by the fuelflow rate controller 154 installed in thecontrol unit 150. - And, the other one of the signals is a
deviation signal 165 of acomparison calculator 153 for fetching and comparing the furnace heat absorption rate calculated and outputted by the furnace heatabsorption rate calculator 151 with the set value outputted by a heat absorptionrate setting unit 152 for calculating the set value of the furnace heat absorption rate according to the instruction signal of the fuel flow rate calculated and outputted by the fuelflow rate controller 154 installed in thecontrol unit 150 and outputting the deviation between the two. - In the exhaust gas
recirculation rate controller 160, afunction generation unit 161 installed in the exhaust gasrecirculation rate controller 160 fetches theinstruction signal 164 of the fuel flow rate outputted from the fuelflow rate controller 154 and calculates aninstruction signal 166 of the exhaust gas recirculation rate. - Furthermore, a
PI controller 162 installed in the exhaust gasrecirculation rate controller 160 fetches thedeviation signal 165 between the calculated value of the furnace heat absorption rate outputted from thecomparison calculator 153 and the set value thereof and calculates and outputs acorrection signal 167 of the exhaust gas recirculation rate. - Next, the
instruction signal 166 of the exhaust gas recirculation rate and thecorrection signal 167 are added by anadder 163 installed in the exhaust gasrecirculation rate controller 160 and aninstruction signal 168 of the final exhaust gas recirculation rate corrected according to the furnace heat absorption rate is outputted to therecirculation fan 26. - These calculations are processed on the basis of Formulas (3) to (5) of the operation expressions.
- Formula (3) of the operation expression indicates the calculation method of the function included in the
function generation unit 161 installed in the exhaust gasrecirculation rate controller 160. Formula (3) of the operation expression, on the basis of the conversion function indicating the correspondence of the fuel flow rate to the exhaust gas recirculation rate, calculates the instruction signal of the exhaust gas recirculation rate from the instruction signal of the fuel flow rate. The conversion function is preset. - Formula (4) of the operation expression indicates the calculation method of the function included in the
PI controller 162 installed in the exhaust gasrecirculation rate controller 160.
