Technical Code Designing Fossil Fuel Power Plants
1 Technical Code Designing Fossil Fuel Power Plants1.1 ForewordThis code is a professional standard containing compulsory articles, and those articlesare compulsory. Compulsory content in tables is indicated by notes for the table.Since the issuance and implementation,DL5000 ― 1994“Technical code for designingfossil fuel power plants” has played a positive role and achieved good effects in carrying outthe capital construction policies of the state, reflecting the economic and technical policies,unifying and defining construction standards, ensuring adoption of advanced technology inthe newly built and expanded fossil fuel power plants, realizing safe, economic, full load andsteady operation and satisfying the environmental protection requirements in the constructionof electric power facilities.With the deepening of reform and advance of technology, some aspects of DL5000 ―1994 can no longer meet the requirements in the development of construction of electricpower facilities. According to the arrangement in Item 42 of the document NO.[1999]40“Notice on confirming standard system and revision plan item in electric power industry in1998”of the Department of Electric Power of the State Economic and Trade Commission, theElectric Power Planning and Design General Institute organized people to conduct therevision and compilation of DL5000―1994.In this revision and compilation, the basic policies on electric power construction havebeen carried out, the policy on “safe and reliable, economic and complying with nationalconditions” and a series of measure to control project cost conscientiously implemented, andmature and reliable design technology adopting advanced techniques actively popularized,with due consideration given to saving coal, water, power and land and controlling the sizeand standard of non-production facilities. Attention has been paid to adapting to the socialistmarket economic system, to get well prepared in design and technology for the electric powerconstruction in the 21st century.In this revision and compilation, no major revision has been made to the framework of4DL5000―1994, only some revision, deletion and supplement have been made to the contentsof relevant section, and some sections have been adjusted as appropriate.To spreading and application of gas-steam combined recycling power generationtechnology, flue gas desulfurization technology and clean coal power generation technologyare the development orientation of the power industry in the 21st century, however, comparedwith the conventional coal-firing power generation technology, they are not so mature asthere is not much practical experience in the country. Therefore, in this revision andcompilation, only some fairly mature articles were prepared for perspective.This code was proposed by the State Electric Power Corporation.This code shall be under the charge by China Electric Power Planning and DesignAssociation.This code shall be interpreted by China Electric Power Planning and DesignAssociation.1.2 ScopeThis code has specified the principles that should be followed and the constructionstandards in the design of large sized fossil fuel power plants. This code is applicable to thedesign of condensing type fossil fuel power plants with units of turbo-generator sets atcapacity of 125MW―600MW,as well as fossil fuel power plants with heat supplying units ator above 50MW.It can be used as reference for units of and above 600MW.This code isapplicable to the design of newly built or extension of power plants, and can be used asreference for the design of modification projects.1.3 General ProvisionsThe unit capacity of power plants shall be selected in accordance with such factors as thesystem planning capacity, load increase rate and grid configuration. Large capacity unit withhigh efficiency shall be selected, provided that maximum unit capacity should not exceed10% of the total system capacity.There should be no more than six units in a power plant, with no more than capacitygrades for the units. Turbo-generators and boilers of the same capacity should be of sametype or modified type, and with the same types of associated equipment. A newly built power5plant should be built in one or two phases to the planned capacity on the basis of load demandand available capital high-efficiency unit of the same type, and be constructed successively.In power plant design, overall coordination shall be made and technical requirementsshall be raised on the main auxiliary equipment and systems required, and selection shall bemade among the same type of equipment on the basis of technical performance, reliability,supply conditions, prices and performance and technical service quality of manufactures.When conditions are standard series products and energy-saving products shall be selected inpriority.1.4 Site SelectionIn site selection for power plants, the following condition shall be studied: gridconfiguration, power and heat load, fuel supply, water source, traffic, transport of fuel andlarge equipment, environmental protection requirements, disposal of fly ash and slag,outgoing line corridor, geology, seismology, topography, hydrology, meteorology, landrequisition and relocation, construction, and influence of surrounding industrial and miningenterprise on the power plants, so that preliminary schemes can be drawn up and justificationand evaluation can be made through overall technical and economic comparison andeconomic efficiency analysis.In the site selection for planning, comments shall be made on the construction scale andcompletion time, with proposal on the number and capacity of units to be installed.In the site selection for engineering, comments shall be made on the construction scaleand completion time, with proposal on the number and capacity of units to be installed.In selecting power plant sites, full consideration shall be given to the outgoingconditions for connection with the grid when the power plants reach the planned capacity.1.5 Arrangement of Main BuildingThe main buildings should be arranged in the order of boiler house, coal bunker bay,deaerator bay (or combined coal bunker and deaerator bay) and turbine, and their size shouldnot exceed those of the reference design for main buildings for units of the same category.When it is deemed reasonable after technical and economic justification and according to theactual project conditions, other new forms of arrangement that can control project cost and6favorable to operation, maintenance and construction can also be adopted. The comparablebuilding volume of main building shall not exceed data of reference design of main buildingsfor units of the same category.In non-severely cold regions, boilers should be in open or semi-open arrangement. Inareas with severe cold or strong sandstorm, tower type boilers should be tightly enclosed withouter wall boards, and non-tower type boilers shall either be tightly enclose with outer wallboards or be arranged indoor according to the equipment features and actual condition of theproject. In regions with proper climate conditions, boilers with good sealing can be arrangedwithout top compartment and rain shield.1.6 Boiler Equipment and SystemsThe type selection of boiler equipment and technical requirements shall be as specifiedin “Technical Specification for Coal Fired Power Plant Boiler” SD268-1988. The type of theboiler equipment must be suited to the quality characteristics of the coal used and theallowable variation of the coal quality in the current specifications. The physical andchemical tests and analyses of the coal and its ash shall be performed to obtain the normaland abnormal characteristic data of the coal quality.The pressure drop from the superheater outlet of the large capacity boiler to the turbineinlet shall be 5% of the rated inlet steam pressure of the turbine. For the unit with subcriticaland below parameters, the rated steam temperature at the superheater outlet shall be 3℃higher than the rated inlet steam temperature of the turbine. At rated conditions, the pressuredrops of the cold reheat steam piping, reheater and hot reheat steam piping shall be1.5%~2.0%. 5%, 3.5%~3.0% respectively, of the HP turbine exhaust steam pressure at theoperation conditions. The rated steam temperature at the reheater outlet shall be 2℃ higherthan the rated inlet steam temperature of the IP turbine.The design of the pulverizing system for boiler combustion and equipment shall be inaccordance with the design of the boiler proper and its safety protection monitoring systemand shall conform with the specifications is “Anti-explosive Directories of Pulverized CoalBoiler Combustion Chamber of Fossil fuel power plant” DL345.
