Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of molten salt heat storage technology and compressed air energy storage technology, and specifically relates to a molten salt heat storage coupled with compressed air energy storage collaborative power generation system and a control method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Existing technologies face limitations related to single-source CSP energy storage: While molten salt thermal storage systems can provide smooth daytime and nighttime power generation, their storage capacity is insufficient in extreme weather conditions (continuous cloudiness and dust storms), requiring reliance on backup fuels, which increases carbon emissions. Traditional compressed air energy storage is inefficient: Conventional CAES relies on fossil fuel post-combustion (efficiency is only 40% to 50%), and the air expansion temperature during the energy release phase is insufficient, limiting power generation efficiency. System coupling is low: Existing CSP-CAES combined systems are simply connected in parallel, failing to achieve deep synergistic utilization of thermal compression energy, resulting in energy losses exceeding 25%. This technology proposes a bidirectional thermal energy interaction mechanism combining molten salt thermal storage with compressed air energy storage, utilizing CSP waste heat to improve CAES efficiency while simultaneously compensating for CSP fluctuations with CAES's peak-shaving capacity. A high-temperature molten salt-air multi-stage heat exchange system is developed to replace fossil fuel post-combustion, achieving zero-carbon energy storage. Furthermore, a multi-mode intelligent switching control strategy is designed to adapt to the grid's multi-timescale requirements (from second-level frequency modulation to hourly energy transfer).

Technically, HMAHX is tightly integrated with the intelligent collaborative control system. The former is responsible for thermal energy conversion, while the latter coordinates the overall energy flow and operating mode to ensure stable and efficient operation of the system. In principle, HMAHX utilizes the high heat capacity characteristics of molten salt to achieve efficient heat exchange through a countercurrent design. The intelligent collaborative control system dynamically adjusts the parameters of each module based on real-time data analysis and prediction to achieve multi-objective optimization. In terms of effect, the technology in this embodiment effectively improves the power generation efficiency of the compressed air energy storage system, reduces energy loss, and ensures the safety and reliability of the system.

In other embodiments, energy consumption can be further reduced by optimizing the layout and heating efficiency of the electric heating system, or active thermal management technologies such as heat pump circulation can be used to maintain the molten salt temperature, thereby improving the overall energy efficiency and economy of the system.
[0149] Furthermore, the safety protection module in the intelligent collaborative control system specifically includes real-time monitoring of the molten salt temperature. Once the temperature is detected to be over 580°C, the molten salt flow direction is immediately adjusted and the cooling process is started to avoid the risk of overheating. Technically, the safety protection module effectively prevents the occurrence of overheating through real-time monitoring and a rapid response mechanism. In principle, through real-time monitoring of the molten salt temperature, once it exceeds the safety range, the system immediately takes measures to adjust the molten salt flow direction and start the cooling process. In terms of effect, the technology in this embodiment significantly improves the safety and stability of the system, avoiding equipment damage and system shutdown due to overheating. In other embodiments, the cooling capacity of the molten salt cooling system can be increased, or more advanced temperature monitoring technologies, such as fiber optic temperature measurement, can be used to improve monitoring accuracy and response speed, thereby further improving the safety and reliability of the system.
[0150] Furthermore, the safety protection module in the intelligent collaborative control system also specifically includes a molecular sieve dryer on the air side to control the humidity below 10ppm, prevent the molten salt from hydrolyzing in a high-temperature and humid environment, and reduce the risk of corrosion.

[0152] Furthermore, the dynamic regulation strategy further includes adaptively adjusting the molten salt pump flow, compressor speed, and valve opening according to the real-time changes in the working mode to maintain the efficient operation of the system. Technically, the adaptive adjustment mechanism in the dynamic regulation strategy ensures the optimal operation of the system under different working conditions; in principle, by monitoring the system status in real time, the dynamic regulation strategy can automatically adjust key parameters such as the molten salt pump flow, compressor speed, and valve opening to adapt to the needs of the current working mode; in terms of effect, the technology in this embodiment significantly improves the energy efficiency and flexibility of the system and reduces energy loss; in other embodiments, the regulation accuracy and response speed can be further improved by optimizing the regulation algorithm, such as introducing PID control or neural network prediction, or adopting more advanced actuators, such as linear motor-driven valves, to improve the reliability and efficiency of control, thereby improving the overall performance of the system.

Once an abnormal temperature difference is detected, immediate measures are taken to prevent structural damage caused by thermal stress. Technically, the monitoring of the temperature difference between the inner and outer walls in the safety monitoring and abnormality prevention mechanism effectively prevents structural problems caused by thermal stress. In principle, through real-time monitoring of the temperature difference between the inner and outer walls of the molten salt heat storage tank, once it exceeds the safety range, the system immediately takes measures, such as adjusting the molten salt flow or activating the cooling system, to prevent structural damage caused by thermal stress. In terms of effect, the technology in this embodiment significantly improves the safety and reliability of the system and avoids equipment failures and system shutdowns caused by thermal stress.

Alternatively, more advanced monitoring technologies, such as infrared thermal imagers, can be used to improve the accuracy and coverage of monitoring, thereby improving the overall performance and safety of the system.
[0156] Furthermore, the safety protection module is specially configured with a backup power supply and a rapid molten salt heating device in the emergency energy replenishment mode to ensure that the molten salt temperature does not drop suddenly when responding to the grid frequency modulation command in a very short time. Technically, the backup power supply and the rapid molten salt heating device in the safety protection module ensure the system's rapid response capability under extreme conditions; in principle, the backup power supply quickly provides electricity when the grid frequency modulation command is issued, and the rapid molten salt heating device starts immediately to maintain the molten salt temperature above 300°C, ensuring the normal operation of the system; in terms of effect, the technology in this embodiment significantly improves the flexibility and reliability of the system, and can quickly respond to grid demand even in extreme weather conditions, avoiding system shutdowns caused by sudden drops in molten salt temperature; in other embodiments, the response time can be further shortened and the system's frequency modulation capability can be improved by increasing the capacity of the backup power supply and the efficiency of the rapid heating device, or more advanced heating technologies, such as microwave heating or laser heating, can be used to increase the heating speed and energy efficiency, thereby improving the overall performance and economy of the system.
[0157] The collaborative power generation system of molten salt heat storage coupled with compressed air energy storage and its control method of the present application, its working process is mainly divided into three stages: solar thermal dominant mode, CAES peak-shaving mode and emergency energy replenishment mode. In the solar thermal dominant mode, the system mainly relies on the solar thermal power generation unit, collects solar energy through the heat collection system and converts it into thermal energy, stores it in the molten salt heat storage unit, and then converts the thermal energy into electrical energy for user use. The excess electrical energy is used to drive the compressor to compress the air and store it in the air storage chamber. At the same time, the high-temperature molten salt is used to preheat the compressed air to reduce the compression power consumption. In the CAES peak-shaving mode, the system releases high-pressure air according to the needs of the power grid, and after heating it through the high-temperature molten salt air heat exchanger HMAHX, it drives the turbine expander to generate electricity. At this time, the molten salt heat storage unit simultaneously releases waste heat to maintain the air temperature, significantly improving the power generation efficiency. In the emergency energy replenishment mode, in the face of extreme weather or sudden demand from the power grid, the system starts the electric heating molten salt module to maintain the molten salt temperature. At the same time, the CAES system independently adjusts the frequency to respond to the power grid's second-level demand to ensure stable operation of the system. During the entire working process, the intelligent collaborative control system continuously monitors the system status, automatically switches the working mode based on real-time data and predictive models, optimizes energy distribution, ensures that the system can operate efficiently and safely under different working conditions, and realizes deep collaborative utilization and flexible scheduling of energy.
[0158] Furthermore, this embodiment relates to a molten salt heat storage coupled with compressed air energy storage collaborative power generation system, which includes a molten salt heat storage type solar thermal power generation unit, a compressed air energy storage (CAES) unit and a coupling core device - a high-temperature molten salt air heat exchanger (HMAHX) and a molten salt compressed air collaborative control system.
[0159] The solar thermal power generation unit utilizes a tower-type concentrator to focus solar energy and heat molten salt to 565°C. A dual-tank molten salt heat storage system (cold tank at 290°C / hot tank at 565°C) provides sufficient storage capacity to support eight hours of full-load power generation. During power generation, the molten salt generates steam through a heat exchanger, which drives a steam turbine to generate electricity.
[0160] CAES unit: A multi-stage centrifugal compressor (pressure ratio 20:1) compresses air into an underground salt cavern (pressure 8-12 MPa). During the energy release phase, the air is heated to over 550°C in a high-temperature molten salt-to-air heat exchanger, driving a turbine expander to generate electricity, significantly increasing power generation efficiency to over 60%.
[0161] The HMAHX core device utilizes nickel-based alloy tubes with a temperature resistance of 600°C and a pressure resistance of 15 MPa, enabling efficient heat exchange between molten salt and compressed air. The collaborative control system dynamically optimizes energy distribution based on real-time data (such as irradiation intensity and grid load) and predictive models, enabling intelligent multi-mode switching (solar-thermal-dominated mode, CAES peak-shaving mode, and emergency energy replenishment mode).
[0162] Solve the problems of intermittent solar thermal power generation and low efficiency of CAES, and achieve efficient and zero-carbon coordinated energy utilization.
[0163] In this embodiment, the HMAHX adopts a multi-stage countercurrent heat exchange channel design. The high-temperature section heats the compressed air to above 500°C to drive the turbine expander; the low-temperature section heats the compressor outlet air to 200°C, optimizing the compression process and reducing compression power consumption by 15% to 20%.
[0164] In order to address the problem that traditional CAES systems are limited in efficiency due to the lack of effective preheating, this embodiment optimizes the thermal energy utilization efficiency by adopting a counterflow design, thereby improving the overall performance of compressed air energy storage.
[0165] In this embodiment, the multi-objective collaborative control algorithm in the intelligent collaborative control system takes into account real-time electricity price signals, weather forecast information and equipment life loss coefficient to achieve a real-time optimal energy allocation strategy, while ensuring the system's overall efficiency ≥ 70% and maximizing economic benefits.
[0166] In response to the energy allocation challenges brought about by market changes and equipment aging, this embodiment achieves refined energy management and cost control by introducing dynamic programming and deep learning algorithms.
[0167] In CAES peak-shaving mode, this embodiment ensures that the turbine inlet air temperature remains stable above 500°C by dynamically monitoring and precisely adjusting the molten salt flow rate, thereby improving the CAES cycle efficiency to 65%, far higher than the traditional level of 45%.
[0168] To address the problem of efficiency loss caused by the drop in air temperature during traditional CAES peak-shaving, a higher power generation efficiency is maintained through the continuous supply of molten salt waste heat.
[0169] In the photothermal-dominated mode (high radiation during the day), the compressor driven by excess electric energy in this embodiment stores air in the air storage chamber, and at the same time uses high-temperature molten salt to preheat the air to 200°C, optimizing compression power consumption and saving about 15% of electric energy consumption.
[0170] To address the problem of excess energy during high radiation periods but high energy consumption in the compressed air energy storage process, power consumption is reduced by preheating the compressed air, thereby improving the overall system energy efficiency.
[0171] Under extreme weather conditions, this embodiment activates the electrically heated molten salt module, adjusts the molten salt temperature to no less than 300°C, and adjusts the operating parameters of the compressed air energy storage system in real time to meet the grid frequency regulation requirements and ensure the stability of power supply.
[0172] To address the problem of decreased system efficiency caused by a sudden drop in molten salt temperature under extreme weather conditions, the system is kept running by electrically heating the molten salt. At the same time, the rapid response capability of CAES is utilized to ensure the reliability and flexibility of grid frequency regulation.
[0173] In this embodiment, when the molten salt temperature is detected to be lower than 280°C, the electric heating system is automatically activated to prevent the molten salt from solidifying, ensuring continuous operation of the system, especially at night or under low radiation conditions, avoiding the risk of heat energy interruption.
[0174] In response to the problem that molten salt is easy to solidify at low temperatures, the design of the electric heating system effectively prevents the loss of fluidity of the molten salt and ensures the continuity of energy transmission.
[0175] Once the HMAHX tube wall temperature exceeds 580°C, this embodiment immediately adjusts the molten salt flow direction and initiates the cooling process to avoid system shutdown or safety risks caused by overheating, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the HMAHX and extending the equipment life.
[0176] In response to the risk of overheating in high-temperature heat exchange environments, the introduction of an over-temperature protection mechanism effectively avoids material damage and ensures the long-term stable operation of the system.
[0177] In this embodiment, a molecular sieve dryer is installed on the air side to control the humidity below 10 ppm, thereby preventing molten salt from hydrolyzing to generate HCl in a high-temperature environment, reducing the risk of pipeline corrosion, and extending the life of the system.
[0178] In order to address the problem that high temperature and humid environment may accelerate pipeline corrosion, humidity control effectively reduces the probability of hydrolysis reaction and enhances the durability of the system.
[0179] This embodiment is specially configured with a backup power supply and a rapid molten salt heating device to ensure that the system can quickly adjust the molten salt temperature in the emergency energy replenishment mode even when faced with sudden frequency regulation needs, thereby ensuring uninterrupted power supply.
[0180] In response to the grid's demand for second-level frequency regulation, the establishment of a rapid response mechanism ensures the flexibility and reliability of the system, enabling rapid adjustment of energy output even in emergency situations.
[0181] Furthermore, the present invention also proposes a synergistic power generation control method for molten salt thermal storage coupled with compressed air energy storage, comprising:
