摘要
Under the background of achieving carbon dioxide peaking and carbon neutrality, the rapid development of renewable energy power generation poses new challenges to the flexible adjustment capabilities of traditional power plants. To explore the furnace combustion stability and optimal operation modes during deep peak shaving, a simulation of the combustion process under low-load conditions for a 600 MW wall-fired boiler is performed utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. The impact of burner combination modes on the combustion process within the furnace is explored at 25% and 35% boiler maximum continuous ratings (BMCRs). This study investigates two configurations of burner combinations. One mode operates burners in layers A, B, and C, which include the lower layers of burners on the front and rear walls of the boiler, as well as the middle-layer burners on the rear wall, referred to as OM1. The other mode operates burners in layers A and C, which include the lower layers of burners on the front and rear walls of the boiler, referred to as OM2. The results indicate that OM2 exhibits superior capabilities in orchestrating the distribution of the airflow velocity field and temperature field under the premise of ensuring no more than a 1% decrease in the pulverized coal burnout rate. When OM1 is employed, the airflow ejected from the middle-level burners hinders the upward movement of pulverized coal sprayed from the lower-level burners, causing a larger proportion of pulverized coal to enter the ash hopper for combustion. Consequently, the ash hopper attains a peak mole fraction of CO2 at 0.163. OM2 delays the blending of pulverized coal with air by enhancing the injection quantity of pulverized coal per burner. As a result, the generation of CO in the ash hopper reaches a notable mole fraction of up to 0.108. The decreased furnace temperature promotes the formation of fuel-based NOx during low-load operation. Taking the 25% BMCR as an example, the NOx emissions measured at the furnace outlet are 743 and 1083 ppm for OM1 and OM2, respectively. This study focuses on the impact of combustion combinations on the combustion stability when the boiler is operating at low loads. The findings could enrich previous research on combustion stability and contribute to the optimization of combustion schemes for power plant boilers operating at low loads.
