The coal consumption for power supply is also called the standard coal consum ption for power supply. It is
the standard coal consumption (unit: g / kWh, g / kWh ) for the average consumption of 1kWh of power provided
by a thermal power plant . It is a consumption indicator calculated according to the power supply of the final
product of the power plant, and is one of the country's important assessment indicators for thermal power plants.
The following is a summary of factors affecting coal consumption for p ower supply for reference.
1 , the main steam pressure rises 1MPa
Affected by the reduction of power consumption coal consumption 1.65g / kW.h
Control measures: The increase of the main steam pressure will reduce the heat loss of the turbine, but under
normal circumstances, it should not exceed the design value during operation to avoid poor control and
overpressure.
Calculation formula: The detailed calculation method is to calculate the entire thermal system, first obtain the
change in work and heat absorption, and then the change in coal consumption. Or the change of the heat
consumption can be obtained from the correction curve of the manufacturer before the ch ange of the coal
consumption. And also consider the impact of changes in the main steam pressure when other factors change at
the same time. A rough estimate can be made using the following formula:
B * [C1 / (1 + C1)] / ηb / (1-ηe), B——is coal consumption, C1——is the correction coefficient of main steam
pressure to heat consumption, ηb——is the boiler efficiency, ηe—— It is the rate of factory electricity.
2.The main steam pressure drops by 1MPa
Affected the increase in coal consumption for power supply by 1.89g / kW.h
Control measures: During operation, approach 80% of the working conditions as close to the design value as
possible. The target value of the working conditions below 80% is not necessarily the design value. The
determination of the target value needs to be determined by special sliding parameter optimization tests.
Calculation formula: The estimation formula is the same as the rise of the main steam pressure.
3. Every 10 ℃ drop of main steam temperature
Affected the increase in coal consumption for power supply by 1.26g / kW.h
Control measures: The low main steam temperature is generally related to factors such as superheater ash
accumulation, low flame center, high feed water temperature, low excess air coefficient of combustion, saturated
steam with water, and leakage of temperature reducing water valves. During operation, soot blowing should be
performed in accordance with regulations, air volume and primary and secondary air ratios should be adjusted
according to changes in coal types.

temperature and heat consumption, ηb——is the boiler efficiency, ηe—— It is the rate of factory electricity.

over temperature.

overtemperature.

change in work and heat absorption, and then the change in coal consumption. Or the change of the heat
consumption can be obtained from the correction curve of the manufacturer before the change of the coal
consumption. And also consider the impact on the reheated steam temperature when other factors change at the
same time. A rough estimate can be made using the following formula:

steam temperature to heat consumption, ηb——is the boiler efficiency, ηe— — It is the rate of plant power.
6. Every 10 ° C drop in the temperature of the reheater
Affected by the increase in coal consumption of power supply 0.99g / kW.h
Control measures: The low temperature of the reheated steam is generally related to the ash accumulation in the
reheater, the low flame center, the low temperature of the cold reheated steam, the low coefficient of excess air
combustion, and the leakage of the temperature reducing valve. During operation, ash should be blown in
accordance with the regulations, the air volume should be adjusted according to the change of coal type, the
proportion of primary and secondary air, and the sliding pressure operation at low load should be used to increase
the temperature of cold and hot steam.

loss to heat consumption, ηb——is the boiler efficiency, ηe— — It is the rate of plant power.

and the amount of non-condensable gas in the condenser. The operation can be adjusted from the following
aspects: the rubber ball cleaning device is put into operation according to the regulations; the nu mber of
circulating water pumps can be determined according to the temperature of the circulating w ater and the vacuum
of the unit; the cooling tower water filling filler, nozzles, dehydrators, etc. are regularly checked Whether the
components are intact and the water density is uniform; do leak-free work, and manually close the manual door for
the water-repellent water-repellent protection; regularly perform vacuum tightness tests. For units using vacuum
pumps, the tightness test results are > 0.8kpa / min , it will have a greater impact on the vacuum of the unit. During
the operation, check whether the shaft water seal is damaged; increase the steam supply pressure of the
low-pressure shaft seal appropriately and observe whether the condenser vacuum has be en improved; if necessary,
perform a vacuum system leak check.
Calculation formula: The detailed calculation method is to calculate the entire thermal system, first obtain the
change of work, and then the change of coal consumption. Or the change of the heat consumption can be
obtained from the correction curve of the manufacturer before the change of t he coal consumption. And also

consumption, ηb—is the boiler efficiency, ηe—is the plant Power usage.
