Summary:
In recent years, due to the impact of rising energy prices, it has become an urgent problem for waste incineration power plants to reduce the cost and power consumption.
With the development of the medium voltage AC drives technology, it is available to choose drives to adjust the speed of fans and pumps, and achieve the energy saving and consumption reduction in power plant.
This article is mainly introduce the application of Nancal 10.5kV AC drives used in Zhejiang waste incineration power plant.
 
Introduction of Project:
The project is an expansion project with a daily domestic waste disposal capacity of 600 tons, equipped with a 600t/d mechanical grate incinerator and a 15MW steam turbine generator set.
Fans and pumps are the main energy consumption devices of power plant, and the consumption accounts for 65%-75% of the electricity consumption of the plant.
The traditional solution is to adjust the air volume by adjusting the intake damper, which has serious energy loss. Some power plants use hydraulic couplers for speed regulation, but the energy-saving effect is not very significant, the current use of variable frequency speed regulation technology is the best choice to improve the operating efficiency under low load. The following table shows the performance comparison of using hydraulic coupler and frequency converter:

The above four sets of AC drives adopt the manual bypass system, that is, when the converter is faulty or overhauled, the load can be driven by the grid directly without stop, it can ensure the continuous production.

The system diagram of single set is as follows:


 

 

The main functions that can be achieved by this solution:

  1. Meet the operational requirements of on-site fans and pumps.
  2. Soft start the motor, avoid the impact on the grid and prolong the service life of the motor
  3. Realize energy saving and reduce consumption, provide working efficiency of fans and pumps. Reduce operating cost.
  4. Bypass solution can realize the continuous running during the VFD maintenance and failure.
