Abstract

Thermo-electric decoupling is an effective way to improve the adoption capacity of renewable power of power grids. Therefore, theoretical analysis models are established in this study to evaluate the decoupling performance of CHP with absorption heat pump, compression heat pump and low-pressure turbine renovation. Results show that absorption heat pump, compression heat pump and low pressure cylinder can all expand the feasible operation area and reduce the minimum electricity load rate of the reference CHP plant. When the heat load is 250 MW, The minimal electricity load rate of unit decreases by 12.98%, 56.47% and 36.34% with absorption heat pump, compression heat pump and low-pressure turbine renovation, respectively. The maximal heat-to-electricity ratio of unit is also increased by integration with heat pump and low-pressure renovation. Besides, the compression heat pump has the best decoupling performance among these three decoupling technologies under the same max heating power.
