Abstract
The circulating fluidized bed (CFB) units, with their robust combustion stability under low load conditions, are poised to play a significant role in future deep peak shaving of power grids. However, issues such as NOx emissions exceedance arise when the CFB unit operates for deep peak shaving. To mitigate these problems, this paper innovatively proposes a CFB coal blended with the high-temperature activated gas-solid binary fuel combustion mode to reduce the NOx emissions of the CFB across a wide load range. The wide load operation characteristics of the CFB under the action of high-temperature activated gas-solid binary fuel were initially examined on a 2 MW experimental platform. A comparison between the conventional combustion mode and the CFB coal blended with high-temperature activated gas-solid binary fuel combustion mode revealed that the latter improved the uniformity of temperature distribution within the CFB across a wide load range, particularly at lower loads. Furthermore, the CFB coal blended with high-temperature activated gas-solid binary fuel significantly reduced the original NOx emissions, decreasing from 136.9 mg/m3, 37.5 mg/m3, and 38.8 mg/m3 to 92.0 mg/m3, 24.7 mg/m3 and 20.6 mg/m3 at 100 %, 50 %, and 30 % load respectively, thereby achieving ultralow original NOx emissions during deep peak shaving operations. However, there is room for improvement in enhancing combustion efficiency using this combustion mode.
