Ways to increase the maneuverability characteristics of the CCGT when operating in load control modes (for example, CCGT-450)

Abstract

THE PURPOSE The article is devoted to the analysis of the problems that arise during the operation of heating CCGTs of the type CCGT-450 at reduced loads with their participation in the regulation of electrical and thermal loads. The description of the main limitations of the adjustment range of gas turbines, and the maneuverability characteristics of the CCGT, an analysis of some existing technical proposals for expanding the adjustment range is given. It is shown that the application of these proposals, expanding the boundaries of the adjustment range in small quantities, does not solve the problem as a whole. The description and research results of the proposed new technical solutions to expand the adjustment range and maneuverability characteristics of the CCGT - 450 are given.METHODS. When solving the tasks, the analysis, comparison and generalization of energy characteristics, modeling of modes were carried out.RESULTS. It is shown that: the use of methods for converting part of the central heating system and the central heating system as a whole of the T-125/150 steam turbine into a low-steam mode together with bypass steam distribution will expand the adjustment range to a level comparable to the adjustment range of condensing power units on gas-fuel oil;. when shutting down the CCGT-450 operating in condensation mode and when operating it in the GTU-CHP mode during periods of night failure of the electrical load, the conversion of the steam turbine to motor mode significantly improves the maneuverability and reliability characteristics of the steam turbine and the CCGT as a whole. conclusion. The use of methods for transferring part of the central heating system and central heating system as a whole and bypass steam distribution expand the adjustment range of the CCGT-450, respectively, by 7.8, 10.1 and 16.0% of the rated power; When the CCGT-450 is operating in condensation mode when the CCGT is stopped and when it is operating in the GTU-CHP mode during periods of night failure of the electric load, the steam turbine is transferred the MR significantly improves the maneuverability and reliability characteristics of the steam turbine by reducing the duration of start-up and loading of the steam turbine by 40 and 14.5 minutes, respectively, reducing starting fuel losses, eliminating temperature fluctuations of steam and metal of the steam intake organs of the central pump and the control stage during start-up;
