    In a power plant, long-term deviation of the unit load from the design condition leads to high energy consumption of steam turbine under low load conditions. Optimization test of existing sliding pressure operation method was carried out. By using a test method based on combined load and valve position, the most economical sliding pressure operation mode of the unit was exactly found out. At the same time, considering the influence of thermal parameters and thermal system changes on the sliding pressure operation curve of the unit, the optimal sliding pressure operation method based on the regulating stage pressure was adopted to ensure that the unit always operates under the optimal economic condition. The results show that the new optimization technology for sliding pressure operation effectively reduces the energy consumption level of the unit, and realizes the safe and economic operation of the unit under variable working conditions.

    To solve the problem of the disorder velocity field, ash accumulation and wear of the flue gas duct in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) denitration system of a 350 MW power plant, comparisons and analyses were conducted on the velocity field and the ash concentration field before and after optimization by numerical simulations with following schemes, such as optimizing the guide plates in the extended section of the horizontal flue gas duct, adding the guide plates in the corner above the rectifying grille, and adjusting the number, length and tilt angle of the guide plates in above two critical sections. Results show that the velocity distribution and the ash concentration distribution both can be improved by adjusting the number, length and tilt angle of the guide plates. After taking the optimum scheme, the total pressure loss of the flue system is decreased by 129 Pa, or 17.7%, which presents a significant optimization effect.

    In order to analyze the effect of sediment on heat transfer performance of steam generator in CPR1000 nuclear power plant, control strategy was established for fouling in steam generator. Based on eddy current inspection data of heat transfer tube and spectrum analysis of sludge composition, the fouling distribution of steam generator with operation life was obtained. The source, composition and distribution of corrosion products in the secondary circuit of steam generator were analyzed, and the effect of the corrosion products distribution on the heat transfer performance of the steam generator was introduced. The results show that the distribution of corrosion products has slight effect on the heat transfer performance, and the fouling resistance method can be used to analyze the heat transfer performance of the steam generator by unified horizontal comparison.

    A thermal power plant adopts steam heat exchanger system to replace the common heating scheme of direct steam temperature and pressure reduction with higher parameters, so as to realize the cascade utilization of energy. A collaborative control strategy based on energy balance is proposed, including medium pressure heating steam flow following high pressure heating steam flow mode and high pressure heating steam flow following medium pressure heating steam flow mode, so that the steam heat exchanger system can automatically control the heating steam parameters. The results show that the steam heat exchanger system can operate stably under the two heating modes, and the fluctuation of high-pressure steam temperature and medium pressure heating steam temperature at the outlet of steam heat exchanger is small during the test. The control strategy is feasible and can solve the automatic control problem of the new heating process.

    For the wet desulfurization system in a power plant, a two-stage condensation-coagulation device was established above the demister in the desulfurization tower for the condensation of the clean flue gas after desulfurization, while the water saving effectiveness and the simultaneous removal performance of particulate matter were investigated and studied. Results show that the water in flue gas could be effectively retrieved by the condensation-coagulation device. The temperature drop of the flue gas of the first-stage condensation unit is 35 K, and the saving water mass flow rate is 29.9 t/h, while the saving water can be used as the supplying water for the desulphurization pulping; meanwhile, the temperature drop of the flue gas of the second-stage condensation unit is 1020 K, and the saving water mass flow rate is 55.9 t/h. Compared with the original desulfurization system, after adopting the condensation-coagulation device, the removal efficiencies of total particulate matter (TPM), condensable particulate matter (CPM) and filterable particulate matter (FPM) in flue gas are improved by 37 percentage points, 36 percentage points and 37 percentage points, respectively. This presents a good effect of particulate matter removal.

    Taking the desulfurization system of a 600 MW unit as an object, a prediction model of SO2 concentration at the outlet of wet flue gas desulfurization system based on transfer learning was proposed. In view of the situation that the edge distribution of the characteristic parameters of the model varies under different combinations of slurry circulating pumps, a sample-weighted least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) model based on kernel mean matching (KMM) was established, and a comparison for verification with the actual running data was also conducted. Results show that the prediction accuracy of SO2 concentration at the outlet of the desulfurization system under different combination operation modes of slurry circulating pumps can be effectively improved when using the LSSVM model with sample transfer weight, and the generalization ability of the model can also be enhanced.

    Taking a supercritical opposed firing boiler of a 660 MW unit in a power plant as the research object, experiments and researches were conducted on the low load operation without oil under 42%, 35% and 30% rated load, respectively. Results show that the boiler combustion can stay at a stable condition under all operation low loads, and the flue gas temperature of the steering chamber has no obvious downward trend, while the inlet flue gas temperature of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) denitration system can meet the requirement of denitration. With the decrease of the load, there is no obvious change on the boiler efficiency, but both of the heat consumption of the turbine and the power supply coal consumption increase obviously, which has a serious effect on the unit economy. Under low loads, the wall temperatures are within the safe range.

    A method for quantitative and qualitative analysis of influential factors on the exhaust steam pressure of driving steam turbine of induced draft fan was proposed. Analysis based on a 1 000 MW power generator unit was found that lower flow rate of cooling water and insufficient suction capacity of the vacuum pump were the mainly reasons for higher exhaust steam pressure of the driving steam turbine of induced draft fan. The improvement suggestions are proposed to offer the reference for the design and transformation of same type units and provide the ideas and methods for the cause analysis of high exhaust pressure of driving steam turbine of induced draft fan.
