Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of integrated energy system technology, specifically a scheduling method for a reverse osmosis seawater desalination plant that takes into account the pressure-delayed permeation stage. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, approximately 40% of the world's population faces the severe challenge of freshwater scarcity. Against this backdrop, seawater desalination technology has experienced rapid development in water-scarce countries. Reverse osmosis technology, as the most widely used seawater desalination method, has seen its energy consumption per ton of water reduced to 3... ~ The desalination process produces 5 kWh of salt, but energy costs still account for about 40% of the total cost, indicating that the technology still suffers from high energy consumption. Furthermore, the concentrated brine produced during desalination contains a large number of chemical elements; direct discharge of this brine would severely impact the nearshore environment and marine ecosystem.

[0003] To reduce the energy consumption of reverse osmosis desalination technology, researchers have discovered that the salinity gradient in concentrated brine can be recycled. Pressure-delayed osmosis (PDOS) technology applies pressure to the high-concentration solution side, slowing the permeation process of water molecules from the low-concentration solution to the high-concentration solution. This creates significant hydraulic pressure on the high-concentration solution side, driving a turbine to generate electricity. This technology not only converts the chemical energy in the brine into electrical energy for recovery, reducing the energy consumption of desalination, but also mitigates the pollution of the ocean caused by high-concentration brine.

[0004] However, most current research literature on seawater desalination plants focuses on describing the reverse osmosis process, with few studies providing detailed descriptions of desalination plants that combine reverse osmosis and pressure-delayed osmosis. Furthermore, existing research often neglects the impact of seawater temperature and concentration on energy consumption when discussing desalination processes. Summary of the Invention

[0309] The verification of a reverse osmosis seawater desalination plant scheduling method that takes into account the pressure-delayed permeation stage is as follows:

[0310] 1) Obtain the structural diagram of the seawater desalination plant.

The wind farm supplies energy to the desalination plant, the power distribution network sells electricity to the desalination plant, and the desalination plant is permitted to connect its wind power to the grid.

[0323] 4) Experimental Results

[0324] Two calculation examples are used to analyze the schemes of seawater desalination plants, verifying the effectiveness and superiority of the present invention. On one hand, calculation example 1 is set up as follows:

[0325] Comparison of winter and summer scheduling of reverse osmosis desalination plants;

[0326] On the other hand, to verify the effect of pressure-delayed permeation, Example 2 is as follows:

[0327] Comparison of winter scheduling of reverse osmosis desalination plants and winter scheduling of reverse osmosis-pressure delayed osmosis desalination plants.

[0328] (1) Calculation example 1

[0329] First, we analyze two scheduling schemes for reverse osmosis desalination plants in two different seasons. Table 4 below shows the various costs and energy consumption of the seawater desalination plant under the two schemes.

[0330] Table 4 Cost and Energy Consumption of Example 1

[0331]

[0332]

[0333] A comprehensive comparison reveals that the costs of the high-pressure pump and the intake pump are the same in winter and summer because the water production is the same, resulting in the same total water flow for both pumps. However, wind power is significantly less in summer than in winter, leading to the desalination plant purchasing more electricity from the distribution network and higher interaction costs. In both seasons, the plant purchases electricity and charges its energy storage system when electricity prices are low, then discharges it when prices are high to reduce the cost of electricity purchases.

[0334] From the perspective of energy consumption comparison, the main reason is that the seawater temperature varies in different seasons. The temperature in summer is higher than in winter, which leads to an increase in the energy consumption of the high-pressure pump in summer in order to maintain a stable water flow rate.

[0335] In summary, the numerical examples verified the correctness and effectiveness of the reverse osmosis seawater desalination plant operation scheduling method proposed in this invention, which considers temperature and concentration.

[0336] (2) Calculation example 2

[0337] To further verify the pressure-delayed permeation model of this invention, the scheduling results of a reverse osmosis desalination plant and a reverse osmosis-pressure-delayed permeation desalination plant were compared under winter conditions.

[0340] As shown in Table 5, the total cost of a reverse osmosis-pressure delayed permeation desalination plant is lower than that of a reverse osmosis desalination plant. This is because pressure delayed permeation can recover energy from the concentrated brine, reducing interaction costs, and the treatment of concentrated brine reduces discharge penalties. The turbine power generation accounts for 15.33% of the desalination plant's energy consumption, demonstrating a significant energy-saving effect.

[0341] contrast Figure 6 and Figure 7 In both scenarios, the desalination plants purchase large amounts of electricity during the 1-7 hour period when electricity prices are low, thus increasing freshwater production. Conversely, they cease purchasing electricity during the 10-12 and 17-21 hour periods when prices are high, relying entirely on wind power for water production to reduce costs. Both scenarios also utilize energy storage to shift peak electricity demand and lower electricity purchase costs. Figure 7 During each period, the turbine collects energy through pressure-delayed infiltration to reduce energy consumption.

[0342] In summary, this invention discloses a scheduling method for a reverse osmosis seawater desalination plant that takes into account the pressure-delayed permeation stage. This invention fully leverages the flexibility of seawater desalination plants, enabling stable loads and peak shaving / valley filling, and improves the economic efficiency and environmental friendliness of the desalination plant through pressure-delayed permeation.
