In contrast to a traditional coal-fired power generation plant where steam extracted from a turbine is used to preheat the feedwater in all preheating stages, a solar-aided power generation(SAPG) plant uses solar heat to replace a part or all of the extracted steam in one or more preheating stages. The performance of an SAPG plant with different replacements is investigated in this study by using specific consumption theory(SCT). Fuel-specific and cost-specific consumption models for SAPG plants are built based on the SCT. A typical 330 MW coal-fired power plant is used as the study case. The performance of the SAPG plant in terms of specific consumption, with steam obtained from the first through the eighth(except for the fourth) stages of extraction replaced by solar heat, is compared with that of the reference coal-fired power plant. The fuel-specific consumption of the SAPG plant is determined to be lower than that of the reference coal-fired power plant. The fuel-specific consumption accrual distribution in SAPG plants is used to assess the effect of each individual replacement. Effective strategies to reduce the specific costs of the SAPG and coal-fired power plants are proposed based on the results of this study.

太阳能与燃煤互补发电方式是近年来大规模太阳能热利用的发展方向之一。以槽式太阳能集热系统辅助某330MW燃煤机组替代高加回热抽汽加热给水的互补发电系统为例,对功率不变型互补发电系统的设计点热力性能及年热力性能进行了分析。结果表明,太阳能辅助发电系统的年光电转换效率可达到20.41%,高于单纯槽式太阳能热发电方式。在此基础上,以内部收益率(internal rate of return,IRR)作为评价指标,运用技术经济的基本原理对太阳能辅助燃煤机组互补发电系统的经济性能及其主要影响因素进行了定量的分析评价,得到了太阳能上网电价、集热器造价、燃料成本等关键因素对内部收益率的影响。
