Abstract: In order to solve the existing problems of large mean heat transfer temperature differences of regenerative air heaters and high superheat degrees of regenerative extraction steam in double reheat coal-fired power generation systems, two new design schemes of ultra-supercritical double reheat cycles are proposed, which can realize the deep boiler-turbine coupling among the heat transfer processes of air, feeding water and regeneration extraction steam on the base of the principle of energy level matching. A typical 1000 MW ultra-supercritical double reheat cycle system is selected as the reference system and the overall system model is built by using the Ebsilon simulation software. The performances of two new systems are analyzed by using both the exergy method and energy equilibrium method. The results show that net output powers of both new systems 1 and 2 increase by 6.38 MW and 6.93 MW, respectively, and the standard coal consumptions of power generation decrease by 1.65 g/kWh and 1.79 g/kWh, respectively. The off-design performances of new systems and the reference system are analyzed, and the results show that performances of two new systems are better than that of the reference system. The system flow of the new system 2 is more complex compared with that of the new system 1. Generally speaking, the performance of new system 1 is better than that of new system 2. On the basis of new system 1, new system 3 is further optimized and its full operating condition performance characteristics are analyzed. The standard coal consumption rate of new system 3 is reduced about 1 g/kWh at higher load, and around 0.2 g/kWh at low load.
