ABSTRACT

At present, China's electricity production mainly relies on thermal power plants, and thermal power generation is also the most commonly applied power generation method. The operation of thermal power plants requires the use of many mechanical devices, each of which has a different role and is a very important component of thermal power plants. Maintenance is an important part of the production management of power plants, which has a significant impact on the safety and economy of power plants. Thermal power plant equipment works under high temperature and high pressure as well as severe environmental conditions such as wear, corrosion and vibration. After a period of operation, the safety and economy of equipment operation will be affected by the wear and deformation of parts, the reduction of tightness, the shortening of material service life, and the appearance of scaling, slagging, ash plugging, corrosion and other phenomena on the heating surface. Therefore, improve the health level of equipment, prolong the service life of equipment, and ensure the safety and economy of unit operation. In this paper, we use TRIZ theory to optimize the equipment overhaul of thermal power plants, with the ideal final result as the goal, and use technical contradictions to develop relevant programs, thus solving the tediousness of daily equipment overhaul, improving overhaul efficiency and ensuring overhaul quality.
