摘要
CHP plants in ironworks are traditionally fired with low-calorific technological fuel gases and hard coal. Among metallurgical fuel gases blast-furnace gas (BFG) dominates. Minor shares of gaseous fuels are converter gas (LDG) and surpluses of coke-oven gas (COG). Metallurgical CHP plant repowering consists in adding a gas turbine to the existing traditional steam CHP plant. It has been assumed that the existing steam turbine and parts of double-fuel steam boilers can be used in modernized CHP plants. Such a system can be applied parallelly with the existing steam cycle, increasing the efficiency of utilizing the metallurgical fuel gases. The paper presents a method and the final results of analyzing the repowering of an existing metallurgical CHP plant fired with low-calorific technological fuel gases mixed with hard coal. The introduction of a gas turbine cycle results in a better effectiveness of the utilization of metallurgical fuel gases. Due to the probabilistic character of the input data (e. g. the duration curve of availability of the chemical energy of blast-furnace gas for CHP plant, the duration curve of ambient temperature) the Monte Carlo method has been applied in order to choose the optimal structure of the gas-and-steam combined cycle CHP unit, using the Gate Cycle software. In order to simplify the optimizing calculation, the described analysis has also been performed basing on the average value of availability of the chemical energy of blast-furnace gas. The fundamental values of optimization differ only slightly from the results of the probabilistic model. The results obtained by means of probabilistic and average input data have been compared using new information and a model applying average input data. The new software Thermoflex has been used. The comparison confirmed that in the choice of the power rating of the gas turbine based on both computer programs the results are similar.
