Description
- This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from the prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2012-170060, filed on Jul. 31, 2012, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- Embodiments described herein relate to a steam turbine plant, a control method of the same, and a control system of the same.
- In recent years, a steam turbine plant such as a thermal power plant has often included a carbon dioxide capturing system for capturing carbon dioxide in a flue gas. In general, the carbon dioxide capturing system includes a reboiler configured to heat an absorbing liquid which has absorbed the carbon dioxide with steam from the plant to cause the absorbing liquid to release the carbon dioxide. In order to stably operate the carbon dioxide capturing system, there is a need for stabilizing a pressure of this steam.
- However, when the steam turbine plant is in a partial load operation, the pressure of the steam sent to the carbon dioxide capturing system is lowered in accordance with a decrease in a steam amount in the plant. For coping with this, it is thought that a separately-placed turbine and a separately-placed generator are disposed in the middle of an extraction steam line to the carbon dioxide capturing system to send the steam exhausted from the separately-placed turbine to the carbon dioxide capturing system, and to use this steam as a heat source of the reboiler. In this case, when the steam turbine plant is in the partial load operation, the pressure of the steam exhausted from the separately-placed turbine is adjusted by lowering a load of the separately-placed turbine to stabilize the pressure of the steam fed to the reboiler. In this case, a need for the separately-placed turbine and the separately-placed generator and a need for ensuring an inlet steam flow rate of the separately-placed turbine become problems.

Thecontrol system 12 is connected to thesteam pipe 11, and includes apressure detector 13, apressure adjustment valve 14, and acontroller 15. Details of thecontrol system 12 will be described later. - On the other hand, the intermediate-pressure
steam extraction pipe 21 includes apipe 21 a connecting the intermediate-pressure turbine 4 and thedeaerator 10, apipe 21 b branched from thepipe 21 a and connected to the carbon dioxide capturingsystem 22, and apipe 21 c branched from thepipe 21 a and connected to the boiler feedwater pump turbine 23. The steam fed to the carbon dioxide capturingsystem 22 is sent to thedeaerator 10 after heat of the steam is used. The steam fed to the boiler feedwater pump turbine 23 is used for driving theturbine 23, and is then collected in thecondenser 7. - (1) Details of Carbon
Dioxide Capturing System 22 - Referring to
FIG. 2 , details of the carbon dioxide capturingsystem 22 will be described. -
FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing a configuration of the carbon dioxide capturingsystem 22 of the first embodiment. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , the carbon dioxide capturingsystem 22 includes anabsorbing tower 101, a fluegas introduction port 102, a richliquid circulation pump 103, aheat exchanger 104, aregeneration tower 105, areboiler 106, a leanliquid circulation pump 107, aregeneration tower condenser 108, a gas-liquid separator 109, and a carbondioxide capturing apparatus 110. Thereference sign 111 denotes an absorbing liquid circulated in thesystem 22. - The absorbing
tower 101 includes the fluegas introduction port 102 for introducing a flue gas exhausted from theboiler 1 and thereheater 2. The absorbingtower 101 brings this flue gas and the absorbingliquid 111 into gas-liquid contact with each other, so that carbon dioxide in the flue gas is absorbed into the absorbingliquid 111. The absorbing liquid (rich liquid) 111 which has absorbed the carbon dioxide is exhausted from a lower part of the absorbingtower 101 and sent to theregeneration tower 105 by the richliquid circulation pump 103 via theheat exchanger 104. On the other hand, the flue gas from which the carbon dioxide is removed is emitted to the atmosphere from an upper part of the absorbingtower 101. - The absorbing
liquid 111 introduced into theregeneration tower 105 is circulated between theregeneration tower 105 and thereboiler 106. At this time, thereboiler 106 heats the absorbingliquid 111 with the heat of the steam from thepipe 21 b. As a result, a water vapor and a carbon dioxide gas are generated from the absorbingliquid 111, and these gases are returned into theregeneration tower 105 together with the absorbingliquid 111. By heating the absorbingliquid 111 flowing down in theregeneration tower 105 with heat of these gases, theregeneration tower 105 causes the absorbingliquid 111 to release the carbon dioxide gas to regenerate the absorbingliquid 111. - The absorbing liquid (lean liquid) 111 regenerated in the
regeneration tower 105 is exhausted from a lower part of theregeneration tower 105 and returned to the absorbingtower 101 again by the leanliquid circulation pump 107 via theheat exchanger 104. At this time, in theheat exchanger 104, the low-temperature rich liquid is heated by heat of the high-temperature lean liquid. The steam fed from thepipe 21 b and used in thereboiler 106 is fed to thedeaerator 10 so as to serve as part of feed water heading to theboiler 1. - On the other hand, the carbon dioxide gas generated in the
regeneration tower 105 is exhausted from an upper part of theregeneration tower 105 together with the water vapor generated in theregeneration tower 105. Regarding these gases, after the water vapor is condensed into water by theregeneration tower condenser 108 and the carbon dioxide gas is separated from the condensed water by the gas-liquid separator 109, the carbon dioxide gas is captured by the carbondioxide capturing apparatus 110. The carbondioxide capturing apparatus 110 includes, for example, a compressing and capturing machine which compresses and captures the carbon dioxide gas. On the other hand, the condensed water separated in the gas-liquid separator 109 is returned to theregeneration tower 105. - The absorbing
liquid 111 may be any liquid as long as the liquid is capable of absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing the absorbed carbon dioxide under a predetermined condition. An example of the absorbingliquid 111 includes an amine aqueous solution. A specific example of the amine aqueous solution includes an aqueous solution containing one or more types of alkanolamines such as monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, methyldiethanolamine, diisopropanolamine, and diglycolamine. - (2) Details of
Control System 12 - Referring to
FIG. 1 again, details of thecontrol system 12 will be described. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , thecontrol system 12 is connected to thesteam pipe 11 which feeds the steam exhausted from the intermediate-pressure turbine 4 to the low-pressure turbine 5, and includes thepressure detector 13, thepressure adjustment valve 14, and thecontroller 15. - The
pressure detector 13 is connected to thesteam pipe 11 and detects the pressure of the steam flowing through thesteam pipe 11. The detected value of the pressure by thepressure detector 13 is supplied to thecontroller 15. Thepressure adjustment valve 14 is a valve provided on thesteam pipe 11 for adjusting the pressure of the steam flowing through thesteam pipe 11. Thecontroller 15 controls thepressure adjustment valve 14 based on the detected value of the pressure supplied from thepressure detector 13 so as to adjust the pressure of the steam flowing through thesteam pipe 11. - When the steam turbine plant of
FIG. 1 is in a partial load operation, an outlet steam pressure of the intermediate-pressure turbine 4 (i.e., a pressure of the steam flowing through thesteam pipe 11 and the intermediate-pressure steam extraction pipe 21) is changed by a load change of the plant. However, in order to stably operate the carbondioxide capturing system 22, there is a need for stabilizing the pressure of the steam fed to thereboiler 106 of the carbondioxide capturing system 22. Therefore, there is a need for stabilizing the outlet steam pressure of the intermediate-pressure turbine 4. - In the present embodiment, the outlet steam pressure of the intermediate-
pressure turbine 4 is detected by thepressure detector 13. Furthermore, thepressure adjustment valve 14 is controlled based on this pressure. Thereby, the outlet steam pressure of the intermediate-pressure turbine 4 can be stabilized even in the partial load operation. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, an operation of the carbondioxide capturing system 22 can be stably continued. - The
controller 15 of the present embodiment controls thepressure adjustment valve 14 so that the outlet steam pressure of the intermediate-pressure turbine 4 becomes a pressure which is suitable for the operation of the carbondioxide capturing system 22. For example, thecontroller 15 controls thepressure adjustment valve 14 so that the detected value of the pressure by thepressure detector 13 is maintained to be a constant value or within a constant range. According to the present embodiment, by setting this constant value or the constant range to be the pressure which is suitable for the operation of the carbondioxide capturing system 22, a favorable operation of the carbondioxide capturing system 22 can be continued. An example of the constant value is 490 kPa for example, and an example of the constant range is 480 to 500 kPa for example. - Instead of detecting the pressure of the steam flowing through the
steam pipe 11, thepressure detector 13 may detect the pressure of the steam flowing through the intermediate-pressure steam extraction pipe 21 (refer toFIG. 3 ).FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing a configuration of a steam turbine plant of a modification of the first embodiment. According to this modification, thepressure adjustment valve 14 can be controlled based on the outlet steam pressure of the intermediate-pressure turbine 4 as similarly to the case ofFIG. 1 . - (3) Effects of First Embodiment
- Effects of the first embodiment will be described.
- As described above, the present embodiment detects the pressure of the steam flowing through the
steam pipe 11 or the intermediate-pressuresteam extraction pipe 21, and controls thepressure adjustment valve 14 based on this pressure. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the pressure of the steam fed to thereboiler 106 of the carbondioxide capturing system 22 can be stabilized even in the partial load operation. Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, such stabilization of the pressure can be realized not with a large configuration such as a separately-placed turbine and a separately-placed generator but with a simple configuration such as thepressure detector 13, thepressure adjustment valve 14, and thecontroller 15. -
FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing a configuration of a steam turbine plant of a second embodiment. - The reference signs 31, 32 denote high-pressure steam extraction pipes for sending the steam from the high-
pressure turbine 3 to the high-pressurefeed water heaters 8 and thereheater 2. The former high-pressuresteam extraction pipe 31 sends the steam exhausted from an outlet of the high-pressure turbine 3 to the high-pressurefeed water heater 8 and thereheater 2. On the other hand, the latter high-pressuresteam extraction pipe 32 sends the steam extracted from an extraction port in a middle stage of the high-pressure turbine 3 to the high-pressurefeed water heater 8. - As shown in
FIG. 4 , the high-pressure steam extraction pipe includes apipe 31 a branched in the middle from the high-pressure turbine 3 toward the high-pressurefeed water heater 8. Thepipe 31 a is connected to the carbondioxide capturing system 22 as well as thepipe 21 b. Therefore, the steam exhausted from the high-pressure turbine 3 is sent not only to the high-pressurefeed water heaters 8 and thereheater 2 but also to the carbondioxide capturing system 22. The high-pressuresteam extraction pipe 31 ofFIG. 4 is an example of a second steam extraction pipe. Thepipe 31 a is connected to thereboiler 106 of the carbondioxide capturing system 22 as well as thepipe 21 b. - The steam turbine plant of
FIG. 4 includes afirst switching valve 41 provided on thepipe 21 b, and asecond switching valve 42 provided on thepipe 31 a in addition to the components shown inFIG. 1 . Opening and closing of the switchingvalves valves controller 15. The first andsecond switching valves - (1) Usage of First and
Second Switching Valves - Continuously referring to
FIG. 4 , a usage of the first andsecond switching valves - In the steam turbine plant of
FIG. 4 , outlet steam of the low-pressure turbine 5 is desirably wet steam of several percent. - When the steam is fed from an outlet of the intermediate-
pressure turbine 4 to the carbondioxide capturing system 22 and a load of thepower generator 6 is reduced while maintaining the outlet steam pressure of the intermediate-pressure turbine 4 constant, the outlet steam of the low-pressure turbine 5 becomes dry steam. When the load of thepower generator 6 is further reduced, the output steam of the low-pressure turbine 5 becomes superheated steam. Therefore, a minimum load for feeding the steam from the outlet of the intermediate-pressure turbine 4 to the carbondioxide capturing system 22 is set to be such a load that the exhausted steam of the low-pressure turbine 5 is not in an excessively dry range. This minimum load is called as a limit value of a generator load. - The
controller 15 controls thepressure adjustment valve 14 so that the outlet steam pressure of the intermediate-pressure turbine 4 is maintained constant or within a constant range. When the generator load is reduced and reaches the limit value, thecontroller 15 controls the first andsecond switching valves pressure turbine 4 via thefirst switching valve 41, open the steam sending from the high-pressure turbine 3 via thesecond switching valve 42, and fully open thepressure adjustment valve 14. - The steam sending from the high-
pressure turbine 3 via thesecond switching valve 42 is controlled by a pressure adjustment valve (not shown) and fed to the carbondioxide capturing system 22. - A condition to determine which of the switching
valves pressure turbine 5 becomes dry steam, a switching valve which is selected from the switchingvalves - The limit value of the generator load can be calculated, for example, by measuring a temperature or a pressure of the outlet steam of the low-
pressure turbine 5 as well as it is set to be a preliminarily fixed value. The limit value can also be calculated, for example, by measuring a pressure or a temperature of the outlet steam of the high-pressure turbine 3 or the intermediate-pressure turbine 4 and the pressure of the outlet steam of the low-pressure turbine 5 and converting this measurement result into the temperature of the outlet steam of the low-pressure turbine 5. In a case where these methods are adopted, a temperature measurement instrument or a pressure measurement instrument which measures the temperatures or the pressures is installed and the limit value is calculated for example by thecontroller 15. - In the present embodiment, instead of the configuration shown in
FIG. 4 , configurations shown inFIGS. 5 to 7 may be adopted.FIGS. 5 to 7 are schematic views showing configurations of steam turbine plants of modifications of the second embodiment. - In
FIG. 5 , the high-pressuresteam extraction pipe 32 includes apipe 32 a branched in the middle from the high-pressure turbine 3 toward the high-pressurefeed water heater 8, and thispipe 32 a is connected to the carbondioxide capturing system 22. Therefore, inFIG. 5 , the steam extracted from the high-pressure turbine 3 is sent to the carbondioxide capturing system 22. The high-pressuresteam extraction pipe 32 ofFIG. 5 is an example of the second steam extraction pipe, as well as the high-pressuresteam extraction pipe 31 ofFIG. 4 . - As in
FIG. 5 , feeding the extracted steam from the high-pressure turbine 3 to the carbondioxide capturing system 22 has an advantage that higher-pressure steam can be fed in comparison to a case where the exhausted steam is fed. On the other hand, as inFIG. 4 , feeding the exhausted steam from the high-pressure turbine 3 to the carbondioxide capturing system 22 has an advantage that turbine efficiency of the high-pressure turbine 3 becomes higher in comparison to a case where the extracted steam is fed. - In
FIG. 6 , the intermediate-pressure steam extraction pipe sends not the steam exhausted from the outlet of the intermediate-pressure turbine 4 but the steam extracted from an extraction port in the middle step of the intermediate-pressure turbine 4. In this case, the pressure of the steam flowing through the intermediate-pressuresteam extraction pipe 21 becomes a higher pressure than the pressure of the steam flowing through thesteam pipe 11. Therefore, thepressure detector 13 detects the pressure of the steam flowing through the intermediate-pressuresteam extraction pipe 21 more desirably than the pressure of the steam flowing through thesteam pipe 11. - In
FIG. 7 , the high-pressuresteam extraction pipe 31 includes thepipe 31 a branched in the middle from the high-pressure turbine 3 toward the high-pressurefeed water heater 8, and the high-pressuresteam extraction pipe 32 includes apipe 32 a branched in the middle from the high-pressure turbine 3 toward the high-pressurefeed water heater 8. - The
pipe 31 a is connected to the carbondioxide capturing system 22. Therefore, inFIG. 7 , the steam exhausted from the high-pressure turbine 3 is sent to the carbondioxide capturing system 22. Thesecond switching valve 42 in which the opening and closing and the opening degree are controlled by thecontroller 15 is provided on thepipe 31 a. The high-pressuresteam extraction pipe 31 ofFIG. 7 is an example of the second steam extraction pipe, as well as the high-pressuresteam extraction pipe 31 ofFIG. 4 . - On the other hand, the
pipe 21 b and thepipe 32 a are connected to the carbondioxide capturing system 22 via asteam ejector 51. Thesteam ejector 51 can mix the steam extracted from the high-pressure turbine 3 and the steam exhausted from the intermediate-pressure turbine 4 to send the mixed steam to the carbondioxide capturing system 22. Thereby, even when the pressure of the exhausted steam of the intermediate-pressure turbine 4 becomes a lower value than the pressure required by the carbondioxide capturing system 22 due to load reduction, thesteam ejector 51 can boost the pressure by mixing it with the extracted steam from the high-pressure turbine 3. First andthird switching valves controller 15 are provided on thepipes steam extraction pipe 32 ofFIG. 7 is an example of a third steam extraction pipe. - The intermediate-pressure
steam extraction pipe 21 ofFIG. 7 may send not the steam exhausted from the outlet of the intermediate-pressure turbine 4 but the steam extracted from the extraction port in the middle step of the intermediate-pressure turbine 4, as well as the intermediate-pressuresteam extraction pipe 21 ofFIG. 6 . - (2) Effects of Second Embodiment
- Effects of the second embodiment will be described.
- As described above, in the present embodiment, the configuration that the steam is fed from the intermediate-pressure
steam extraction pipe 21 and the high-pressuresteam extraction pipes dioxide capturing system 22 is adopted, and the first andsecond switching valves steam extraction pipe 21 and the high-pressuresteam extraction pipes - Therefore, according to the present embodiment, even in a case where a partial load is further lower than a case of the first embodiment, the pressure of the steam fed to the
reboiler 106 of the carbondioxide capturing system 22 can be stabilized. Further, according to the present embodiment, such stabilization of the pressure can be realized with a simple configuration such as the first andsecond switching valves - While certain embodiments have been described, these embodiments have been presented by way of example only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the inventions.
