no. 1 approach

[0029] The heat storage system of this embodiment stores solar heat. Furthermore, the heat storage system of this embodiment is suitably located in a power generation system. Therefore, first, the present invention will be described by citing an integrated solar combined cycle (Integrated Solar Combined Cycle) power generation system as a power generation system as a specific example. The integrated solar combined cycle power generation system has a turbine (gas turbine) and a steam turbine, and uses these two turbines to generate electricity.

[0030]

[0031] Such as figure 1 As shown, the power generation system of the first embodiment includes a heat storage system 1 and an integrated solar energy combined cycle power generation system 100 (hereinafter simply referred to as “power generation system 100 ”) to which the heat storage system 1 is applied. Between the heat storage system 1 and the power generation system 100 , it flows through piping not shown, and heat med...

no. 2 approach

[0076] Next, refer to Figure 6 7 illustrates a heat storage system (heat storage system 2 ) of a second embodiment. exist Figure 6 In FIG. 7 and in FIG. 7 , the same reference numerals are attached to the same components as those in the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. Additionally, apply Figure 6 The power generation system 300 of the heat storage system 2 shown has the same structure as the power generation system 100 described above.

[0077] In the thermal storage system 2 , in addition to the stratified tanks 10 a to 10 c , a stratified tank 15 that does not contain a phase change medium is provided. That is, the stratification tank 15 (second heat storage tank) stores the heat medium itself which absorbed solar heat. The stratification box 15 is connected in parallel to the solar panel field 200 . Likewise, the stratified tanks are also connected in parallel to the stratified tanks 10a to 10c. In addition, the stratification ta...

no. 3 approach

[0083] Next, a heat storage system (heat storage system 3 ) according to a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 8 . In FIG. 8 , the same components as those described in the above-described embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0084] In the thermal storage system 3 , as shown in FIG. 8( a ), four stratified tanks 10 a to 10 d and one stratified tank 15 are connected in parallel. In addition, 10 d of stratification tanks are the same as the above-mentioned stratification tanks 10a-10c. In addition, at the time of heat storage, the heat medium is circulated through the stratified tanks 10a to 10d to store heat in the same manner as in each of the above-described embodiments.

[0085] However, after heat storage, before heat release using the stratification tanks 10a-10d, predetermined control is performed. That is, discharge of the heat medium by the stratification tank 15 (using solar ...

Abstract

The present invention provides a thermal storage system that is capable of exploiting the solar thermal energy more efficiently than ever, considering a variation in the amount of solar thermal energy. A thermal storage system (1) exploiting the solar thermal energy includes: heat transfer medium that absorbs the solar thermal energy; phase-change material (10a6) that is heat exchanged with the heat transfer medium; and first thermal storage tanks (stratified tanks 10a-10c) in which the phase-change material (10a6) is supported and through which the heat transfer medium flows, wherein a plurality of the first thermal storage tanks (stratified tanks 10a-10c) are present, and the first thermal storage tanks (stratified tanks 10a-10c) are connected in parallel for the heat transfer medium flowing through, when storing the solar thermal energy, while the first thermal storage tanks (stratified tanks 10a-10c) are connected in series for the heat transfer medium flowing through, when exploiting the stored solar thermal energy.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a thermal storage system and a power generation system including the thermal storage system. Background technique [0002] In recent years, countermeasures against depletion of earth's resources, environmental damage, etc. have become major issues. Therefore, the construction of a zero-emission society using renewable energy is required. In order to solve such problems, utilization of natural energy such as wind power and sunlight, unused energy existing in nature, and the like is promoted. [0003] In view of such circumstances, attempts have been made to utilize energy (solar energy; for example, solar heat, etc.) that sunlight has. Specifically, for example, Patent Document 1 describes a hybrid power generation system utilizing solar heat and fuel combustion. In addition, Patent Document 2 describes a solar heat utilization thermal storage device and a boiling water supply system including the device. [0004] pr...
