Abstract: In this paper, the in-depth study is conducted on the feasibility and economics of the adjustable ten-stage heat regeneration system for the two 1 000-MW ultra-supercritical units with one reheat cycle in Shenhua Guohua Yongzhou Power Plant (2×1 000 MW) Phase I Project. The serial No.0 high-pressure heater, equipped with the control valve to regulate the extraction pressure, is placed upstream the outer steam cooler. Under the partial load conditions, compared with the ten-stage heat regeneration system with nonadjustable stage, the initial steam pressure of the No.0 HP heater and the feedwater temperature are both improved, which lowers the turbine heat rate by 12~38 kJ/kWh, showing significant decrease of coal consumption. As a result, the total comprehensive benefit of the two units in 20 years can be as much as 53.08 million yuan.
