Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of waste heat recovery and heating in power plants, and in particular to a composite optimization method for waste heat recovery and thermal storage heating in power plants. Background Art
[0002] Electricity production is an important link in energy consumption and supply. Power plants generate a large amount of waste heat during the power generation process. This waste heat contains considerable energy. If it is not effectively utilized, it will not only be a huge waste of energy resources, but also cause a series of environmental problems such as thermal pollution due to direct discharge into the environment. According to relevant research, the effective utilization rate of waste heat from power plants is still at a low level in many regions, and a large amount of waste heat resources are idle, which runs counter to the current trend of pursuing efficient energy utilization and environmental protection.
[0003] Traditional heating methods have exposed many problems in the long-term application process. It mainly relies on the combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal and natural gas, to generate heat to meet heating needs. This method has many limitations: 1. There is a lot of energy loss in the process of burning fossil fuels to generate heat. For example, incomplete combustion during the combustion process and heat loss during the transmission process result in a low proportion of effective energy actually used for heating to the total energy of the fuel, and low energy utilization efficiency. 2. The combustion of fossil fuels releases a large amount of pollutants, including carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. These pollutants are important factors leading to environmental problems such as global climate change, acid rain, and air pollution, and have caused serious harm to the ecological environment and human health. 3. Traditional heating systems are often difficult to achieve uniform and reasonable heat distribution. Due to the influence of various factors such as pipe network design and water flow resistance, it is easy to have overheating at the near end and not hot at the far end. This uneven heating situation not only affects the user's comfort, but also may lead to energy waste, because users may overuse heating equipment in order to achieve a comfortable temperature.
[0004] Although there have been some technical explorations and practices in the field of waste heat recovery and thermal storage heating, there are still many areas that need to be improved: ①Irrational selection of heat exchangers: Some existing technologies fail to fully consider key factors such as the medium characteristics, temperature range and flow parameters of power plant waste heat when selecting heat exchangers. This may result in the heat exchanger not being well matched with the waste heat source, resulting in low heat transfer efficiency, thus affecting the effect of waste heat recovery. For example, for the waste heat of steam-water mixture or high-temperature flue gas, if an inappropriate type of heat exchanger is selected, the heat in the waste heat may not be fully utilized, making the waste heat recovery efficiency far below the ideal level.
[0005] ② Imperfect pipeline design: There are some defects in the design of the pipeline connecting the waste heat recovery device and the subsequent system. Some pipeline layouts do not fully consider the factors of reducing resistance loss, resulting in the loss of some energy during the heat transmission process due to excessive resistance. In addition, the thermal insulation performance of the pipeline is poor, and no suitable thermal insulation materials or reasonable thermal insulation structure are used, which causes serious heat loss during the pipeline transmission process, further reducing the efficiency of waste heat recovery.
[0006] ③ Poor performance of heat storage materials: The heat storage materials used in existing heat storage devices often have low heat storage density, which means that the amount of heat that can be stored in the same volume is limited. In addition, after multiple cycles of charging and discharging, the performance of some heat storage materials has significantly degraded, and long-term stable heat storage effects cannot be guaranteed. For example, some materials may have a significant drop in heat storage capacity after hundreds of cycles, affecting the reliability and stability of the entire heating system.
[0007] ④ The control system is not intelligent: The control system of the heat storage device lacks intelligent heat charging and discharging strategies. It cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the actual energy supply situation (such as fluctuations in the waste heat output of the power plant) and heating demand (such as room temperature requirements in different time periods and different areas). This may lead to the inability to fully store heat when there is excess waste heat, and the inability to reasonably release heat when there is insufficient waste heat or when the heating demand is at a peak, affecting the heating effect and energy utilization efficiency.
[0008] ⑤ Inaccurate control: The flow regulation and temperature control in the heating network are not accurate enough. Some existing heating systems lack sufficient high-precision sensors and intelligent regulating valves at key nodes of the main pipes and branch pipes, and cannot accurately monitor and adjust the flow and temperature in real time. This makes it difficult for the heating system to dynamically adjust according to actual needs, and it is easy to have local overheating or overcooling, and it is impossible to ensure the temperature uniformity of the entire heating area.
[0009] ⑥ Unreasonable billing: There are unreasonable aspects in the heat billing at the user end. Some billing systems do not fully consider factors such as peak and valley electricity price periods, actual heat demand of users, and types of heating packages, resulting in inaccurate billing, which cannot motivate users to use energy reasonably and is not conducive to the reasonable allocation and conservation of energy.
