Process Approaches to Utilization of Domestic Low-Grade Fuels for Power Generation

Использование местных топливных ресурсов является одним из директивно обозначенных и обсуждаемых путей повышения энергетической безопасности и формирования экономически обоснованных топливно-энергетических балансов регионов Российской Федерации. Для территорий, обладающих локальными проявлениями запасов бурых углей, этот вид ископаемого топлива при наличии благоприятствующих условий имеет преимущественное значение. На примере Таловского месторождения Томской области рассмотрены технически осуществимые варианты вовлечения низкосортных топлив в использование на тепловых электростанциях региона, а также на энергетических объектах промышленного и муниципального назначения. Приоритетным условием реализации всех вариантов, включая сжигание местного угольного топлива «с колёс», в смеси с базовым топливом, поставляемым в регион, в смеси с продуктами термической переработки и др., принято отсутствие или минимизация затрат на реконструкцию действующего основного и вспомогательного оборудования. Для каждой из обсуждаемых технологий обозначены ограничения, которые накладываются свойствами используемого топливаUtilization of domestic fuel resources is one of the ways that are being discussed and defined in the guiding documents to increase the energy security and formation of economically feasible fuel and energy balances in the Russian Federation regions. For the territories possessing occurrences of lignite, this type of fossil fuel is of primary importance under the favorable conditions. Based on the example of Talovskoye deposit in Tomsk region, the technically viable options of low-grade fuels utilization at the regional thermal power plants were considered, as well as at the industrial and municipal power facilities. A high-priority implication for implementing all options, including burning of domestic coal fuel just-in-time, in combination with the basic fuel, supplied to the region together with thermal processing products and other, the absence or minimization of costs for modernization of the operating main and auxiliary equipment is adopted. Limitations, imposed by the utilized fuel properties, are specified for every technology under discussio
