2019, 6(3): 81-86. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2019.03.014
Abstract:
  [Introduction]  In order to analyze the influence of excess air coefficient on the combustion stability of the furnace under the ultra-low load operation conditions of the thermal power unit, the unit is better guided to participate in peak shaving.  [Method]  In this paper, through in-depth analysis of boiler operation and heat transfer mechanism in the furnace, the combustion temperature of the furnace was characterized by the outlet temperature of the furnace, and as the index of combustion stability, the furnace exit smoke temperature model was built in MATLAB/SIMULINK. Taking a 300 MW thermal power generating unit as an example, the paper first selected several typical operating conditions. Then the similarity solving method was used to calculate the furnace exit smoke temperature and compare with the design data given by the boiler manufacturer. Finally the test calculation method was basically correct and then substituted into ultra-low load operation parameters which calculated the furnace exit smoke temperature corresponding to different excess air coefficients under deep peaking conditions.  [Result]  The simulation results show that the model calculates the furnace temperature and the design data given by the boiler manufacturer. The calculation error is less than ±15°C, and the calculation method is basically correct. It can be applied to the calculation of ultra-low load conditions.  [Conclusion]  As the load is reduced, the optimum excess air ratio that maximizes the flue gas temperature at the exit of the furnace is gradually increased. Therefore, under the condition of ultra-low load operation, the excess air coefficient can be appropriately increased within a certain range to increase the flue temperature of the furnace outlet, thereby improving the stability of the combustion of the boiler, and when the excess air ratio is less than 2.0, the value is higher, the temperature is higher.

In view of its high thermal efficiency, simple system, compact structure, flexible operation and other potential advantages, supercritical CO2 cycle can be combined with gas turbine to form a new type of gas-supercritical CO2 combined cycle.  [Method]  In order to make full use of the exhaust heat of the gas turbine, a simple regenerative supercritical CO2 cycle was constructed on the basis of a simple regenerative supercritical CO2 cycle, and the thermal efficiency of the PG9351 (FA) gas turbine was calculated and analyzed. At the same time, by adding waste heat utilization device in the system, the residual heat could be used for heating, converting into cold energy or generating electricity.  [Result]  The results show that for the selected gas turbine, the maximum temperature of supercritical CO2 cycle can reach 600 C, the cycle power generation efficiency is about 32%, the heat recovery temperature is above 170 ℃, the heat recovery accounts for 9% of the exhaust heat of gas turbine, and the combined cycle power generation efficiency is about 54%.  [Conclusion]  The gas-supercritical CO2 combined cycle power generation system has high thermal efficiency and retains some high-grade waste heat, which can be further used in power plant operation.

Abstract:
  [Introduction]  (The SOH(State of Health) evaluation of lithium-ion batteries is difficult to meet the on-board environment requirements of electric vehicles because of the dispersion of evaluation results was caused by the inconsistent characteristics of batteries.  [Method]  To solve the problem, the corresponding changes of open circuit voltage curve, pulse voltage response and incremental capacity curve of typical energy storage component NCM battery during life cycle test were analyzed. 6 characteristic variables which were closely related to the battery capacity loss were selected, and a comprehensive SOH evaluation method based on fuzzy logic was proposed. In this method, membership function was used to establish the relationship between SOH evaluation sets and variable indicators, and analytic hierarchy process based on correlation coefficient was used to determine the weights of variable indicators that have an impact on the evaluation results. Finally, the validity of the proposed method was verified by four NCM-21700 batteries that completed the life cycle test.  [Result]  The results show that the method can effectively reduce the dispersion of SOH evaluation, and the average error is not more than 3% as well as the maximum error is no more than 5%.  [Conclusion]  This work provides some guidance for further study on state of health evaluation of lithium-ion batteries.
