Abstract

A subcritical pressure high-temperature steam power plant includes a combustion boiler system, steam turbine generator system, and condensate and feedwater system and wherein the conditions of steam generated in the boiler system and supplied to the steam turbine generator system are subcritical pressure and high temperature (turbine inlet temperature of 593° C. or more).

Claims (11)

1. A subcritical pressure high-temperature steam power plant comprising:

a combustion boiler system;

a steam turbine generator system; and

a condensate and feedwater system,

the subcritical pressure high-temperature steam power plant having a rated output in a range of 0.1 million kW to 0.4 million kW,

the combustion boiler system including a high-temperature superheater configured to supply superheated steam with steam conditions of subcritical pressure and 593° C. or more, the subcritical pressure being 16.6 MPa or more, and a high-temperature reheater configured to supply reheated steam with steam conditions of 593° C. or more, and

the steam turbine generator system including a high-pressure steam turbine provided with an initial blade cascade having a height and shape, the high-pressure steam turbine with the initial blade cascade being configured to be driven by the superheated steam with the steam conditions of subcritical pressure of 16.6 MPa or more and 593° C. or more and a reheat intermediate-pressure steam turbine to be driven by the reheated steam with the steam conditions of 593° C. or more.

2. The subcritical pressure high-temperature steam power plant according to claim 1 , wherein the combustion boiler system is a powdered-coal combustion boiler which uses coal as main fuel and also a variable pressure operation once-through boiler which uses a boiler furnace water wall of a once-through spiral type.

3. The subcritical pressure high-temperature steam power plant according to claim 2 , wherein the combustion boiler system burns biomass or by-product gas of steelmaking process with coal, as the fuel.

4. The subcritical pressure high-temperature steam power plant according to claim 2 , wherein the combustion boiler system comprises a plurality of combustion burners arranged in a plurality of stages with combustion burners arranged on opposite sides in each stage and a plurality of coal mills each of which is provided for each of the stages and distributes fuel to the combustion burners arranged on opposite sides in each stage.

5. The subcritical pressure high-temperature steam power plant according to claim 2 , wherein a spiral water wall tube constituting the furnace water wall is inclined 10 to 20 degrees from a horizontal direction.
