Abstract

As the quality of life continues to improve, the requirement for district heating is gradually growing, contributing to problems of climate change and environmental degradation. The electricity consumption and heat losses in thermal stations are significant. To address these issues, a novel self-sufficient thermal station in electric power is proposed in this paper. The techno-economic and environmental performances of the novel electricity self-sufficient thermal station under operating conditions is analyzed employing a mathematical model. The results show that the higher the temperature of the primary heating network supply water, the better the overall performance of the system. Additionally, a lower point pinch temperature difference is beneficial for improving the performance of the system. At the primary heating network supply water temperature of 100 °C and the evaporating temperature of 69 °C, the PBP obtains the minimal value of 6.53 years. The annual saving coal can reach 73.21 t and reducing CO2 emissions can reach 199.55 t. Therefore, the novel electricity self-sufficient thermal station can meet certain technical requirements for combined heating and power generation while demonstrating superior economic capability.
