The invention provides a 
solid particulate matter heat storage and release device. The device is characterized in that a heat exchange 
pipe is arranged inside a heat storage and exchange container, aheat storage medium is arranged in the heat storage and exchange container and is located outside the heat exchange 
pipe, a heat exchange medium is circulated inside the heat exchange 
pipe, the heat storage medium is 
solid particulate matter such as sand, 
coal ash or 
coal slag. The invention further provides a 
solid particulate matter heat storage and release 
system. The 
system is characterized inthat the solid particulate matter heat storage and release devices are designed in a modular mode, and are divided into multiply 
layers in the vertical direction according to the 
temperature gradient, the multiple groups of the solid particulate matter heat storage and release devices are arranged at each layer in the horizontal direction, the heat exchange pipes of the solid particulate matter heat storage and release devices of the adjacent 
layers of the same group are connected end to end through connecting pipes, the free end of the heat exchange pipe at the bottommost layer of each groupis connected with a low-temperature medium mater pipe, and the free end of the heat exchange pipe at the uppermost layer of each group is connected with a high-temperature medium master pipe. The invention further provides a solid particulate matter heat storage and release method. The method is characterized in that a bidirectional flow design is adopted, the heat exchange medium flows from topto bottom during heat storage, and the heat exchange medium flows from bottom to top during heat release. According to the device, the 
system and the method, the system is simple, the maintenance is convenient, the cost is low, and the application range is wide.
