Test and Research on Load Capacity of a 210MW Unit in Heating State

Abstract

As large-scale photovoltaic and wind power are integrated into the power grid, new energy power generation has strong randomicity, volatility and anti-peak shaving characteristics. Both the power supply side and the load side of the power grid will have random fluctuations, which brings huge challenges to the safe and stable operation of the power grid. The power grid will need more capacity and more flexible peak shaving resources as the basis for ensuring the smooth and orderly power supply. During the heating period, the thermoelectric units are faced with double pressures of power consumption peak and heating peak, and are forced to further increase and reduce output to meet the requirements of heating. Therefore, carrying out load capacity test on heating units is conducive to finding out the real output range of units and providing data support for power grid departments.
