The invention relates to an electric peaking combined heat and power (CHP)
waste heat recovery device and an operating method thereof. The device comprises an inner power
plant portion and a heat exchange
station portion, wherein the inner power
plant portion comprises a
heat exchanger, a
waste heat recovery electric
heat pump, an energy-storing electric
heat pump, high / low temperature water storing tanks, a heating network heater, a valve and a circulating water pump; the heat exchange
station portion mainly comprises high / low temperature water storing tanks, an electric
heat pump, a
heat exchanger, a valve and a circulating water pump; as for the operating method of the device, the device can operate in periods of an
electrical load trough, an
electrical load flat peak and an
electrical load peak respectively through combination of different valve switches, the high temperature water storing tank is used for balancing the difference between
system heat supply amount and heating load, the low temperature water storing tank is used for stabilizing steam exhaust
waste heat recovery amount, thereby, the problem that the
electricity generation peaking capacity is limited due to mutual
coupling of
electricity generation and
heat supply in traditional operating
modes of 'heat determines
electricity' is solved, a CHP unit can participate in
power grid load regulation, the
power grid regulating capacity can be improved so as to deal with the condition of constantly increasing of electrical load trough-to-peak difference, and the
absorptive capacity of a
power grid for
wind power generation can be improved so as to reduce phenomena of 'fan suspending'.
