Description
Summary:[Introduction] In order to solve the prominent contradiction between electric load and heat load faced by coal-fired units and ensure the heat source supply of units in winter, it is necessary to study the heating transformation scheme to break its thermoelectric coupling relationship. [Method] This paper made a model analysis of two heating transformation modes of a type of 300 MW coal-fired unit, compared the heating capacity and other data before and after the unit transformation, and studied the thermoelectric decoupling heating transformation scheme in line with the production conditions. And the economic effect of heating transformation of cogeneration units was summarized. [Conclusion] Through the analysis of the heating model in this paper, it can be seen that the coal-fired unit only relies on steam extraction for heating, which is greatly restricted by the power load. The heating capacity at high power load is 2~3 times that at low power load. When the electric load is severely limited, its heating capacity cannot meet the heating demand in winter. But after retrofit of high back pressure and modification of the cylinder, the capacity of peak shaving increases, and the heating capacity increases to 3~4 times under the same electric load, which effectively solved the problem. [Result] The research result can be used as a reference for the heating transformation of the same type of coal-fired units in the future.
