Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a thermochemical heat storage and release system and method and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the development of electrification and automation, users' electricity demand increases year by year. As the proportion of renewable energy continues to grow, the peak-valley load difference of the power grid is becoming more and more serious. In order to improve the stability of the power grid and maintain the balance of the power system, it is necessary to take corresponding peak-shaving measures during the operation of the power grid. Conventional peak-shaving methods include peak-shaving of thermal power units, pumped energy storage, compressed air energy storage, solid heat storage and battery energy storage.

[0003] Pure water heat storage has the advantages of low cost and low technical difficulty, but it also has the disadvantages of occupying a huge space and being in a demanding geographical location. At the same time, pure water heat storage has the disadvantages of low temperature and a single heat user. When used on a large scale, it can only be used for heating or cooling. When used on a small scale, it can be used for thermal power peak regulation, but due to the low heat storage density, the peak regulation capacity is quite limited.

[0004] Pure gas-solid thermochemical energy storage also has certain drawbacks. Taking the CaO / Ca(OH)2 thermochemical energy storage system as an example, a large amount of high-temperature water vapor will be generated during the energy storage stage. The heat carried by these high-temperature water vapor accounts for nearly 40% of the entire energy storage system, and the thermal energy of high-temperature water vapor is difficult to store directly, so only absorption and indirect storage can be considered. The period when energy storage is needed is precisely the period when there is excess electricity and energy is not easy to absorb. Indirect storage is difficult, and direct abandonment will greatly reduce the system's heat storage efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0108] Example 2

[0109] This embodiment is a thermochemical heat storage and release method, and adopts the thermochemical heat storage and release system of embodiment 1, which includes the following stages:

[0110] Energy storage stage: the calcium hydroxide in the decomposition reactor 102 is heated to 510-610° C. to generate calcium oxide and water vapor. After gas-solid separation in the first gas-solid separator 103, the calcium oxide is heat exchanged and collected, and the water vapor is collected in the heat storage tank 105;

[0111] Energy release stage: calcium oxide and water vapor are added to the synthesis reactor 201 to generate calcium hydroxide. After gas-solid separation in the second gas-solid separator, the calcium hydroxide is heat exchanged and collected, and the water vapor that does not participate in the reaction is refluxed to the synthesis reactor 201.

[0112] In the energy storage stage, the pressure of the decomposition reactor 102 is 0.3 MPaG, and the temperature of the decomposition reactor is 610°C; the temperature of the calcium oxide entering the first solid-liquid heat exchanger 106 is 610°C; the temperature of the calcium oxide after heat exchange is 25°C; and the water temperature of the hot water storage tank 105 is 98°C.

[0113] In the energy release stage, the temperature of the calcium hydroxide generated in the synthesis reactor 201 is 400-500° C.; the water vapor in the synthesis reactor 201 includes the water vapor of the water replenishment system 205 of the electrically heated steam generator 206 and / or the reflux water vapor of the gas cylinder 207.

[0114] Effect Example 1

[0115] System thermal efficiency and heat storage efficiency

[0116] System thermal efficiency refers to the effective utilization rate of the thermal energy of the entire system, that is, system thermal efficiency = system output heat / system input heat × 100%;

[0117] The heat storage efficiency refers to the ratio of the heat stored in the system to the heat input of the entire system, that is, heat storage efficiency = system stored heat / system input heat*100%.

[0118] Taking the ambient temperature of 20℃ as the benchmark, at 0.3MPaG, calcium hydroxide is heated to 610℃ for decomposition reaction, decomposing into 610℃ calcium oxide and 610℃ water vapor; without considering the heat dissipation loss of the system, the heat absorbed by the system can be divided into three parts: the heat stored in high-temperature calcium oxide (mainly sensible heat), the heat stored in high-temperature water vapor (mainly latent heat of gasification phase change), and the stored chemical energy (heat absorbed by the breaking of chemical bonds during the decomposition of calcium hydroxide). These three parts of heat account for approximately 20%, 41%, and 39% of the total heat absorbed by the system; among them, the heat stored in calcium oxide (20%) and chemical energy (39%) can be stored for a long time, while the heat contained in high-temperature water vapor is difficult to store directly, and can only be considered for indirect storage or timely absorption.

[0119] Assuming that under ideal conditions, when calcium hydroxide is decomposed by electric heating, the 610°C high-temperature water vapor generated just meets the needs of a certain heat user and can be completely absorbed and utilized, then the thermal efficiency of this process is almost 100% (without considering heat dissipation losses), but the heat storage efficiency is only 59% (percentage of heat stored in high-temperature calcium oxide + percentage of chemical energy). If there is no suitable heat user at this time, and the generated water vapor is not absorbed by the heat user or can only be partially absorbed, then the system thermal efficiency will drop to as low as 59%, while the heat storage efficiency will not be affected.

[0120] Since the system of Example 1 can fully store three parts of heat (calcium oxide heat, water vapor heat, and chemical energy), it solves the problem that the high-temperature water vapor generated during the decomposition of calcium hydroxide cannot be consumed in time, and uses high-temperature water vapor mixed with make-up water to form water body heat storage, and indirectly stores the heat of this part of water vapor. This can not only improve the heat storage efficiency of the entire system, but also avoid reducing the thermal efficiency.

[0121] The thermal efficiency and heat storage efficiency of the system of Example 1 can both reach over 90%.

[0122] Comparative Example 1

[0123] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the heat storage and release system of this comparative example, which belongs to an existing pure water body heat storage system, which includes an electric boiler 401, a hot water storage tank 402 and a heat exchanger 403; the electric boiler 401 and the hot water storage tank 402 form a heat storage circuit, the electric boiler 401 and the heat exchanger 403 form a first heat release circuit, the hot water storage tank 402 and the heat exchanger 403 form a second heat release circuit, and the heat exchanger 403 is connected to a heat user 404.

[0124] The heat storage and release system uses wind and solar power abandonment or grid off-peak power to directly drive the electric boiler 401 to heat hot water, and then stores the hot water in the hot water storage tank 402 (due to the large volume of water, cross-seasonal heat storage often uses natural caves, artificial reservoirs, etc. as hot water carriers) to store heat; when heat release is required, the heat of the stored hot water is transferred to the heat user 404 through the heat exchanger 403. The high-temperature side of the heat exchanger obtains 30-50℃ primary return water after heat exchange at 95℃ primary supply water, and the low-temperature side of the heat exchanger obtains 40℃ return water after heat exchange at 60℃ supply water.

[0125] For this comparative example, if 1.32 tons of calcium hydroxide (610°C) is decomposed by heat, 1 ton of calcium oxide (610°C) and 320 kg of water vapor (610°C) will be produced. In this process, the system absorbs heat, that is, stores about 1.7 GJ of heat. Among them, the 1 ton of calcium oxide (610°C) produced can be stored for a long time; but the 320 kg of water vapor (610°C) produced is difficult to store because of its large volume or high pressure.

[0126] If the water vapor is to be converted into liquid for storage, that is, to perform adiabatic compression, the water vapor will exceed its critical pressure; moreover, the temperature of the water vapor will rise during the compression process, and the compression work will consume additional high-grade energy. Even so, it cannot be compressed directly into liquid, and heat needs to be released to the outside.

[0127] If the water vapor is to be converted into liquid for storage, that is, to perform adiabatic compression, the water vapor will exceed its critical pressure; moreover, the temperature of the water vapor will rise during the compression process, and the compression work will consume additional high-grade energy. Even so, it cannot be compressed directly into liquid, and heat needs to be released to the outside.

[0128] When 610℃ steam is generated, if there is no heat user needing it, this heat will be lost.

[0130] In addition, compared with the system of Example 1 and the system of Comparative Example 1, the volume of the hot water storage body is reduced by nearly 40%-60%.

[0131] In the normal temperature heat storage stage of CaO powder, the volume of water in the composite heat storage of calcium-based and water in the present application is reduced by 40% compared with the single water heat storage; in the heat release stage of high temperature storage of 510-610℃, the volume of water in the composite heat storage of calcium-based and water in the present application is reduced by 60% compared with the single water heat storage. This is very effective in large-scale heat storage.

[0132] Different options are available depending on the heat user group. For example, if the storage duration is within 8 to 10 hours, high-temperature storage of CaO can be selected; if the storage duration is calculated on a monthly basis and cross-seasonal storage, room-temperature storage can be considered.

[0133] Now take 12MW / 12MWh heat storage as an example:

[0134] For the system in Example 1, the volume of hot water storage required is about 133m 3 (Water temperature rises from 20℃ to 98℃), and only 98℃ hot water can be provided during energy release.

[0135] The system of Example 1 only needs 81m of hot water storage 3 (CaO / Ca(OH)2 is stored at room temperature. If CaO / Ca(OH)2 is stored at high temperature, the volume of the hot water storage body can be further reduced to 54m 3 ), calcium oxide 2.4m 3 .

[0136] This is only the data of heat storage power of 12MW and heat storage for 1 hour. If cross-season energy storage is considered, 8 hours of heat storage per day is calculated for 5 months a year (4 months of heating season and 3 months of cooling season are deducted from the whole year). If the traditional heat storage technology is used, the volume of the hot water body required is 159600m 3 After adopting the solution of this application, the hot water storage volume can be reduced to 63840m 3 , which is very significant in reducing space occupation and investment costs.
