    Optimization was conducted on the preliminary design of a heat exchanger system with simplified supercritical CO2 power cycle targeting high-efficiency power generation and CO2 capture. Taking the HX1-1 heat exchanger between the turbine exhaust gas and the circulating CO2 gas in the heat recovery system of a 100 MW power unit as an example, the effects of the shell inner diameter, tube outer diameter and inclination angle on the heat transfer coefficient and shell-side pressure drop were discussed. Moreover, the relationship between the turbine back pressure and cycle efficiency was given, which may serve as a reference for structural optimization of the heat exchanger system to improve the cycle efficiency and economy.

    The performance of a new parallel type Kalina cycle with adjustable power/cold ratio was simulated and analyzed in the period of ice making. The heat exchange surface in the first regenerator was increased to introduce the dilute solution from the second regenerator to participate in the heating of the basic solution. The effects of the following factors on the cycle performance were analyzed, such as the working medium concentration, split fraction, pinch temperature difference at boiler bubble point and the superheat degree. Results show that the cycle split fraction gradually increases with the rise of pinch temperature difference at boiler bubble point. When the pinch temperature difference is increased from 20 K to 60 K, the range of minimum split fraction of cycle can be extended from 0.5181.000 to 0.3831.000, while the maximum refrigeration output of cycle is increased from 315.4 kW to 489.7 kW, but the power recovery efficiency is somewhat reduced.

    To obtain optimum operation of an integrated intelligent energy system, a relationship model was established for the cooling load, system energy consumption, controllable variables of system equipment and uncontrollable variables of the environment, based on which, the reliability of the model was calculated, while the optimal control strategy was solved with the minimum energy consumption of the system as the optimization object. Results show that the energy consumption has been obviously reduced after optimization of the system is taken, indicating that the energy saving effectiveness has been achieved.

    The energy level efficiency method was used to analyze the energy loss in the thermal system of a 600 MW subcritical steam turbine under turbine heat acceptance (THA) condition, during which, the energy efficiency and energy loss of each thermal system were obtained. The accuracy and ease of use of the energy level efficiency method were verified, while the influence of the efficiency improvement of the boiler feed pump turbine (BFPT) on the heat rate of the 600 MW subcritical steam turbine was further analyzed.

    A comparative study was conducted on the high-temperature (330 ℃) fracture toughness of two different types of nozzle-safe end welding joints between SA508 and 316L with and without nickel-based alloy buttering. Results show that the high-temperature J-R resistance curve and fracture toughness of weld metal lie between SA508 and 316L. The high-temperature J-R resistance curve and fracture toughness of interface cracks are the lowest, and the resistance to ductile fracture initiation and propagation is the lowest at the interface. The high-temperature J-R resistance curve and fracture toughness of the metal in fusion zone, heat affected zone and weld centre area of nozzle-safe end welding joints with nickel-based alloy buttering are slightly higher than that without buttering. The high-temperature J-R resistance curve and fracture toughness of the joint without buttering can reach the levels with nickel-based alloy buttering.

    Taking the 50 MW circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler that burns coal and biomass mixtures as an object of study, the effects of biomass blending ratio on the following parameters were investigated, such as the boiler efficiency, the NOx emission concentration and the SO2 emission concentration, etc. Results show that at the unit load of 60 MW, the boiler efficiency would be 79.27%, 77.43%, 81.49% and 84.02% accordingly, when the mass fraction of biomass is 0%, 15%, 30% and 45%, respectively; at the unit load of 50 MW, the boiler efficiency would be 79.80%, 81.59%, 82.82% and 84.33% accordingly, when the mass fraction of biomass is 0%, 15%, 30% and 45%, respectively. The application of coal-biomass co-combustion technology helps to reduce the NOx generation and desulfurizing agent consumption, when the dust emission could simultaneously meet the requirement of environmental protection.

    To reduce the NOx emission of a 9E gas turbine with DLN 1.0 combustion system, a study was conducted on the two main retrofit schemes, i.e. the DLN 1.0+ scheme and the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) denitration system scheme, to which, the key technologies were explained while a comparative analysis was performed. Results show that both the schemes could satisfy the standard requirement of NOx emission. The scheme of DLN 1.0+ keeps consistency with the original system in technology, but both the initial investment cost and the late maintenance cost are high, which limit the localization of the gas turbine technology. For the scheme of adding a new SCR denitration system, the equipment of SCR denitration system would cause a series of issues in equipment running and management, but it has low requirement in technology and low cost of investment.

    To improve the operation flexibility and heating capacity of thermoelectric units, a 135 MW unit was retrofitted by new extraction condensing back-pressure (NCB) heating technology, during which, the potential hazards were theoretically analyzed, such as the windage overheating, the water erosion of blades and the flutter fracture after cutting the steam input of low-pressure cylinder, etc., and subsequently corresponding countermeasures were proposed. Retrofit results prove the new NCB heating technology to be applicable to domestic thermoelectric units.

    To solve the problems of serious ash blocking and corrosion existing in the air preheater of a 600 MW unit, an analysis was conducted on the causes leading to the failure of the air preheater regenerative plate, while experimental tests were carried out. Results show that the material quality of the regenerative plate at hot end of the air preheater is good, where the wear and corrosion are serious; the material quality of the regenerative plate in middle section and at cold end is poor, where serious accumulation and corrosion of ammonium bisulfate ash exist.

    The macroscopic examination, metallographic examination and hardness test were performed to analyze the leakage reasons of water wall tubes in a 600 MW supercritical unit. Results show that the failure was found to be caused by the penetrating cracks generated at the fusion line of the weld during long-term services under the combined action of welding residual stress and thermal stress due to too large welding heat input and structural stress existing at the corner of side wall.

    The mechanism of vibration caused by unbalanced mass was theoretically analyzed. Combined with an unbalanced mass case of a 600 MW turbo-generator rotor, an approximate calculation method was proposed and applied. Results show that compared with traditional vector equilibrium way, this method requires only once unit shutdown to add balancing weight to improve the dynamic balance of the rotor, effectively reducing the frequency of unit shutdowns.

    For three main types of domestic steam-driven ID fan technologies, analysis and comparison were conducted on the equipment layout, technical features and the economy, while problems existing in upgrading and operation of the steam-driven ID fans were summarized. Results show that the back-pressure steam-electric dual driven scheme is the simplest in system configuration, requires less area of site, has best system reliability and highest annual net income, but requires higher investment. The static payback period of investment is slightly different for the three schemes.
