摘要

The green transition of power systems relies on the accurate measurement of the economic cost associated with the deep peak-shaving process in coal-fired power plants. To evaluate the variation in the coal consumption rate during low-load operation, a model of a 300 MW coal-fired unit was established, with less than 1% deviation from the actual operation value. The results indicate that the coal consumption rate at 20% load can increase to 1.48 times the full-load value. When the excess air coefficient is reduced by 0.3 at low-load conditions, between 40% and 20% load, the exhaust gas temperature is reduced by approximately 5°C, leading to a decrease in the coal consumption rate. In addition, elevating the steam temperature to the design value can reduce the coal consumption rate by 6% to 13%, and increase the inlet temperature of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) process by 10°C. Improving the turbine efficiency during peak-shaving significantly reduces the coal consumption cost, and the enhancement of the mean steam temperature is an efficient approach. This study offers a theoretical reference for the retrofitting, design and economic operation of coal-fired units in peak-shaving, thereby supporting energy system transitions.
