超临界循环流化床锅炉深度调峰特性模拟

Numerical investigation on the deep peak regulation characteristics of a supercritical circulating fluidized bed boiler

  • 摘要: 随着电力生产供应绿色化不断深入,新能源发电占比不断增加,火电机组将向基础保障性与系统调节性并重的角色转型,超临界循环流化床(Circulating Fluidized Bed,CFB)锅炉因其独特的灵活性优势需要承担深度调峰任务。为此,基于计算颗粒流体动力学(Computational Particle Flow Dynamics, CPFD)方法,以某350 MW超临界CFB锅炉为研究对象,针对30%~90%范围的宽负荷工况条件,开展了炉内气固流动、燃烧以及传热特性的详细模拟研究。具体分析了不同负荷下炉内三维颗粒质量浓度分布、并联多回路流动均匀性、三维温度分布及水冷壁受热面传热系数分布规律,并探讨了NOx生成排放特性。结果表明:随着锅炉负荷的升高,循环流率增加,炉膛上部颗粒质量浓度增大,轴向S型物料质量浓度分布趋于平缓;同时,炉膛上下温差减小,温度分布均匀性增强,传热系数沿轴向衰减速率减小。在炉膛深度方向上,后墙壁面处颗粒质量浓度高于前墙,温度低于前墙,传热系数则高于前墙,且负荷越高,边壁与中心区的浓度差越大。宽度方向上,颗粒质量浓度、温度分布呈现较明显的对称性,但在炉膛中上部受水冷屏、过热器等悬吊受热面影响,各参数呈现波浪型分布。值得注意的是,中间分离器的气固质量流率低于两侧分离器,且“一分二”的返料阀结构导致并联回路流动均匀性降低;低负荷工况下,并联多回路间颗粒流动均匀性有所改善,但水冷壁各壁面的传热系数偏差却进一步增大。此外,沿炉膛高度方向,NOx质量浓度呈现先增加后减小的变化趋势;随着负荷的降低,NOx原始排放质量浓度呈现先减小后增加的特征,拐点大约出现在50%负荷左右。

     

    Abstract: With the continuous deepening of green power production and supply and the increasing proportion of new energy power generation, thermal power units are transitioning to a role that emphasizes both basic security and system regulation. Supercritical circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers, due to their unique flexibility advantages, need to undertake deep peak regulation tasks. Therefore, based on the Computational Particle Flow Dynamics (CPFD) method, a 350 MW supercritical CFB boiler was taken as the research object, and detailed simulation studies on the gas-solid flow, combustion, and heat transfer characteristics in the furnace were carried out under wide load conditions ranging from 30% to 90%. The three-dimensional particle mass concentration distribution, the flow uniformity of parallel multi-loop systems, the three-dimensional temperature distribution, and the distribution law of heat transfer coefficients on water-wall heating surfaces under different loads were specifically analyzed, and the NOx formation and emission characteristics were discussed. The results show that as the boiler load increases, the circulating flow rate increases, the particle mass concentration in the upper part of the furnace increases, and the axial S-shaped solid mass concentration distribution tends to be gentler. At the same time, the temperature difference between the upper and lower parts of the furnace decreases, the uniformity of temperature distribution is enhanced, and the axial attenuation rate of the heat transfer coefficient decreases. In the depth direction of the furnace, the particle mass concentration at the rear wall is higher than that at the front wall, the temperature is lower than that at the front wall, and the heat transfer coefficient is higher than that at the front wall. Moreover, the higher the load, the greater the mass concentration difference between the side-wall and central regions. In the width direction, the distributions of particle mass concentration and temperature show obvious symmetry, but in the middle and upper parts of the furnace, affected by suspended heating surfaces such as water-cooling screens and superheaters, each parameter shows a wave-like distribution. Notably, the gas-solid mass flow rate of the middle separator is lower than that of the side separators, and the “one-to-two” structure of the return valve leads to a reduction in the flow uniformity of the parallel loops. Under low-load conditions, the uniformity of particle flow among the parallel multi-loops is improved, but the deviation of heat transfer coefficients on each wall of the water-wall further increases. In addition, along the height direction of the furnace, the NOx mass concentration shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. As the load decreases, the original NOx emission mass concentration shows a characteristic of first decreasing and then increasing, with the inflection point occurring at approximately 50% load.
