A combined cycle (CC) unit standby system with integrated auxiliary gas turbine generator (Aux. GT), comprising:
- a plurality of first gas turbine generators, each of the plurality of the first gas turbine generators respectively having a first input pipe, a second input pipe, and a first output pipe, the first output pipe being connected to a first connecting pipe, and the first connecting pipe being installed with a second valve;
- a plurality of heat recovery boilers, the plurality of heat recovery boilers being respectively connected with the first output pipes, and each heat recovery boiler comprising a plurality of heating pipe rows, a steam drum, a steam header, and a chimney, and has a fourth input pipe, a second output pipe, and a third output pipe, the fourth input pipe being installed with a first valve and connected with a second connecting pipe, and the second connecting pipe being installed with a third valve;
- a steam turbine, the steam turbine having a third input pipe and a fourth output pipe, and the third input pipe being connected to the second output pipes;
- a condenser, connected to the fourth output pipe;
- at least a second gas turbine generator, having a fifth output pipe, and the fifth output pipe being connected to the fourth input pipes, and the capacity of the at least one second gas turbine generator being approximately 0.5˜30%, of that of each first gas turbine generator;
- and
- a control unit, electrically connected to the first gas turbine generators, the steam turbine, the condenser, and the at least one second gas turbine generator;
- wherein when at least one of the first gas turbine generators enters a shutdown state, the control unit starts the at least one second gas turbine generator and opens the first valves on the fourth input pipes, a high-temperature flue gas at an outlet of the at least one second gas turbine generator enters each heat recovery boiler through the fourth input pipe, and each steam drum, each steam header and other components of the heat recovery boiler are heated by high-temperature water produced by the flue gas heating each heating pipe row to maintain the components of each heat recovery boiler in a high temperature state;
- the steam generated by the heat recovery boiler flows to each second output pipe through each steam header, and then flows from each second output pipe to the third input pipe, and finally enters the interior of the steam turbine from the third input pipe, so as to drive impeller of the steam turbine to drive a generator of the steam turbine to generate electricity;
- the high temperature steam generated by each heat recovery boiler passes through the second output pipe, the third input pipe and the steam turbine to maintain the temperature of the second output pipe and each component of the steam turbine;
- each or the plurality of first gas turbine generators are provided with one or more second gas turbine generators;
- the outlet steam of the steam turbine flows to the condenser through the fourth output pipe, and the outlet of the steam turbine is maintained vacuum by the condensation of the steam;
- due to the heating of the high temperature flue gas at the outlet of the at least one second gas turbine generator, each component of each heat recovery boiler, each component of the steam turbine, the second output pipe, and the third input pipe all maintain high temperature;
- when at least one of the first gas turbine generators is restarted, the time required for the CC unit to progress from start-up ignition to full load is reduced, and the combustion efficiency during the start of the CC unit is improved.
