Thermal power generation is the largest source of electricity and CO2 emission in China. CO2 emission reduction in thermal power generation industry is an important guarantee for the smooth realization of the goal of “carbon peaking and carbon neutralization”. In order to explore the development path of China’s thermal power generation technology under the background of “carbon peaking and carbon neutralization”, combined with the analysis of development process of China’s thermal power generation industry and the prospect of China’s medium and long-term power consumption structure, we predicted that China’s thermal power generation technology will change from focusing on high parameter and high efficiency to peak shaving flexibility. Through the discussion and study of the ultra-high parameter thermal power generation technology, flexible peak shaving technology, IGCC/IGFC technology, it is found that the development of ultra-high parameter thermal power generation technology is limited by high temperature resistant materials. Moreover, the flexible transformation can effectively extend the life cycle of thermal power generation technology. IGCC/IGFC power generation technology was believed to be a clean-coal power generation technology with high efficiency and flexibility, and the application scenario of coal-gas (oil)-electricity integrated energy base was further proposed. Looking forward to 2060, it is suggested to strengthen the study of coal gasification/purification technology, fuel cell power generation technology and IGFC system integrated control technology, to help China achieve carbon neutralization

In the long-term overheating operation condition, the boiler high temperature superheater is easy to cause the deterioration of materials and the decline of material structure and performance, and causes the pipe explosion accident. The causes of burst tube of final-stage superheater tube in a power plant boiler were analysed through macroscopic examination, Brinell hardness test, tensile strength test and metallographic structure test. The analysis results show that final-stage superheater tube operates at high temperature and pressure for a long time, resulting in the carbide enrichment at grain boundary and weaken the grain boundary strength. Under the action of tensile stress, creep cavities and creep cracks occur at grain boundary, resulting in the decrease of durable strength and tensile strength of pearlite heat-resistant steel, and finally the fracture failure occurs.

As a clean and efficient method of electricity generation, fuel cell is advantageous for high power efficiency, low pollution and noise, and good security, which is one of the most important technologies for distributed power generation. Fuel cell can not only consume the fossil energy like coal or natural gas, but also convert and store renewable energy with its inverse process. In the coal power industry, bulk coal can be utilized cleanly by direct carbon fuel cells, which can solve the problem of low efficiency and severe pollution from bulk coal. Besides, fuel cell can be integrated into natural gas network, forming a micro-combined heat and power system. Compared with the traditional heat and power supply systems, the combined heat and power system has the benefit of energy-step-utilization, with higher efficiency. Furthermore, electrolytic cells can convert the redundant renewable electricity into chemical energy, achieving the energy conversion and storage from the waste hydropower, wind power and solar power, which has great potential in the distributed renewable power system.

In the #1 absorption tower of a power plant wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) system, a large number of slurry overflowed from effluent pit, the gypsum moisture content beyond index and mist eliminator was blocked. Through analysis, the main reasons were the high load of absorption tower, the fast flow rate of the tower, the insufficient oxidation of calcium sulfite, the high slurry density in the absorption tower and the less desulfurization absorption slurry atomization particles. Combined with the ultra-low renovation project of the desulfurization system, some equipment expansion was implemented such as increasing the spray layer and backup swirl, switching to the one-way double-headed nozzle and three-roof ridge efficient demisters, installing the stainless-steel tray and synergistic ring on tower wall. Meanwhile, some improvement measures were put forward, such as controlling the pH value and density of the absorption tower, adding desulfurization synergist, increasing the number of oxidation fan operation and improving the demister cleaning frequency.

With the increasing demands on the environment, the rational treatment and disposal of garbage is playing an important role in practicing the concept of green development and promoting the construction of ecological civilization. This view of "garbage is a resource placed in the wrong place" is gaining more and more recognition. Municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration power generation technology as a method of solid waste utilization has evolved into a mature resource utilization technology. This paper compares the domestic and international MSW incineration technologies from the top, middle and lower reaches of the waste incineration power generation industry, namely the characteristics of MSW, combustion technology and flue gas control. The results show MSW incineration technology is still an indispensable means to achieve waste reduction and resource reduction. However, it is necessary to upgrade the incineration techno-logy, improve the MSW incineration process, strictly control the emission of pollutants in the incineration flue gas, and establish real-time monitoring points to avoid secondary pollution.
