Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermochemical energy storage technology, and more specifically to a mobile heating system based on calcium-based thermochemical energy storage. Background Technology

[0002] Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, are intermittent and unstable, resulting in a significant mismatch between peak power generation and peak energy consumption in time and space. This contradiction leads to substantial "wind and solar curtailment," wasting valuable green energy. Therefore, an efficient and low-cost technology is needed to enable large-scale and flexible utilization of green electricity and off-peak electricity, and to deliver energy to users on demand.

[0003] Thermal energy storage technology, especially thermochemical energy storage technology, is an effective way to solve the above problems due to its advantages such as high energy density, long storage period, and low heat loss. Among many thermochemical energy storage systems, the CaO / Ca(OH)2 system has become one of the most promising systems due to its wide availability of raw materials, low cost, non-toxicity, suitable reaction temperature, and high energy density (up to 104.4 kJ / mol). Using this system, electrical energy can be converted into stably stored chemical energy and released as heat when needed.

[0004] However, most existing thermochemical energy storage systems based on the CaO / Ca(OH)2 system are designed as stationary integrated devices. These systems typically couple the energy storage and release processes at the same location and within the same facility, which has the following inherent drawbacks: 1. Energy cannot be transferred spatially: The system is fixedly installed and cannot easily transport energy stored in location A (such as near a wind farm) to location B (such as a factory or residential area far from the power grid) for use. It cannot truly realize "energy transport" and limits its application in distributed heating scenarios.

[0005] 2. Dependence on Steam Source: The energy release process requires a continuous external steam source to drive the hydration reaction of CaO. For energy-consuming locations lacking a stable steam supply, the system needs to be equipped with additional steam-generating equipment, increasing the system's complexity and dependence on external conditions.

[0006] 3. Inflexible system deployment: Fixed large-scale equipment requires high investment and occupies a large area, and is not easy to deploy or relocate quickly according to changes in energy demand, resulting in poor flexibility.

[0007] Therefore, there is a need for a new type of thermochemical energy storage heating system that can spatially decouple the energy storage and release processes, has good mobility, and does not rely on external steam sources at the energy consumption site. Summary of the Invention

[0008] In order to overcome the defects existing in the prior art, the application provides a mobile heat supply system based on calcium-based thermochemical energy storage, which realizes centralized consumption of green electricity or valley electricity through centralized energy storage and mobile energy release, and transports energy to heat supply scenes in a mobile manner to release in the form of steam to realize green heat supply, thereby effectively solving the problem of time and space mismatch of energy.

The mobile thermochemical energy release unit is used to load energy-stored CaO, transport it to heat supply places far from power plants and residential areas by road, release heat energy and generate steam through hydration reaction on site, realize the decoupling of "centralized storage of electrical energy" and "dispersed supply of heat energy" in time and space, and effectively match the time and space mismatch between renewable energy power generation and heat demand.

A high-temperature resistant and microwave transparent ceramic or quartz material reaction container or tray is placed in the microwave heating reactor, which is used to carry the calcium-based energy carrier material and is provided with a thermocouple and a pressure sensor for monitoring the reaction state. The output product of the microwave heating reactor is high-temperature CaO particles and high-temperature water vapor, wherein the CaO is output to the mobile thermal chemical energy release unit through the discharging gate, and the water vapor is output to the condensing heat exchange pipe through the steam exhaust pipe.

[0015] The mobile thermal chemical energy release unit comprises a trailer head and an atomization heat release reactor pulled by the trailer head. The atomization heat release reactor is used to carry the energy-stored CaO energy carrier material, and a hydration reaction occurs between the atomized water and the CaO, so that heat energy is released, and steam is generated through the internal heat exchange equipment to realize the heating function.

The outlet of the steam exhaust pipe 7 is connected to the inlet of the condensing heat exchange pipes 6 in the bunker 4 through a high-temperature resistant pipe.

[0027] The outlet of the steam exhaust pipe 7 is connected to the inlet of the condensing heat exchange pipes 6, so that the high-temperature steam generated by the dehydration reaction can be introduced into the condensing heat exchange pipes 6. The mobile thermochemical energy release unit 2 includes an atomization exothermic reactor 11 and a trailer head 12 carrying the reactor. The atomization exothermic reactor 11 includes an atomizer 13, an air heat exchanger 14, a fan 15, a boiling heat exchange pipe 16, and a packed bed reaction cavity 17. The outlet of the fan 15 is connected to the inlet of the tube side of the air heat exchanger 14 for preheating, the outlet of the tube side of the air heat exchanger 14 is connected to the air inlet of the atomizer 13, and the outlet of the atomizer 13 is connected to the packed bed reaction cavity 17, forming an air flow and atomized water transport path.

[0029] A method for operating a mobile heat supply system based on calcium-based thermochemical energy storage, including an energy storage process and an energy release process. The energy storage process: the system is deployed in a green electricity-rich area near a wind farm or photovoltaic power station. For example, Figure 2As shown, the feed gate 9 of the microwave heating reactor 5 is opened, while its discharge gate 10 is closed. The Ca(OH)2-based energy carrier material 3, which is at ambient temperature and mainly composed of Ca(OH)2, in the silo 4 falls into and fills the microwave heating reactor 5 under the action of gravity. Subsequently, the feed gate 9 is closed, so that the reactor forms a closed reaction space. The microwave generator 8 in the microwave heating reactor 5 is driven to work by using green electricity such as photovoltaic electricity or wind power electricity or valley electricity of the power grid. The microwave energy can penetrate the energy carrier material and heat the whole material quickly and uniformly. In this stage, the material starts to rise in temperature from the initial ambient temperature (for example, 20°C), and the process converts electrical energy into sensible heat stored in the energy carrier material.

[0030] When the temperature of the energy carrier material rises to its dehydration reaction condition (for example, about 505°C), the Ca(OH)2begins to decompose: Ca(OH)2→ CaO + H2O (endothermic). This reaction absorbs a large amount of energy and converts electrical energy into chemical energy stored in the generated CaO, while generating high-temperature and high-pressure superheated steam.

[0031] The high-temperature superheated steam generated by the dehydration reaction is introduced into the condensation heat exchange pipe 6 in the silo 4 through the steam discharge pipe 7. The steam is condensed into water in the condensation heat exchange pipe 6, releasing a large amount of latent heat of vaporization, which is used to preheat the Ca(OH)2energy carrier material at ambient temperature in the silo 4 that has not participated in the reaction, effectively improving the overall energy efficiency of the system. When the dehydration reaction is fully completed, the discharge gate 10 of the microwave heating reactor 5 is opened. The CaO energy carrier material generated by the reaction in a high-temperature state is transferred to the accumulation bed reaction cavity 17 of the mobile thermochemical energy release unit 2, and the discharge gate 10 is closed. At this point, the energy storage process is completed, electrical energy has been efficiently converted into chemical energy and stored in the CaO material, and has been loaded into the mobile unit, ready for transportation. The mobile thermochemical energy release unit 2 has become a “battery” full of chemical energy, which can be towed by the trailer head 12 to any area with heating needs.

[0032] The energy release process: the mobile thermochemical energy release unit 2 is transported to the factory, residential area, or other heating site and is docked.

[0033] First, the mobile thermochemical energy release unit 2 loaded with CaO carriers is transported to the heating site and is deployed ready for use; for example, Figure 3As shown, the energy release program is started, the fan 15 is started, and the air is driven to flow through the air heat exchanger 14 to be preheated and then sent to the atomizer 13; at the same time, water is taken from the heat use scene, a part of the water is sent to the atomizer 13 and carried by the air flow in the atomizer 13 to form a uniform atomized water-air two-phase flow; the two-phase flow enters the packed bed reaction cavity 17 and fully contacts with CaO energy carrier particles therein to drive the hydration exothermic reaction to proceed rapidly: CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2 (exothermic), so as to release the stored chemical energy in the form of heat energy; the reaction releases a large amount of chemical reaction heat, and the temperature of the packed bed region rapidly rises to above 400℃.

[0034] Another part of the water is introduced into the boiling heat exchange pipe 16 buried in the packed bed reaction cavity 17 to absorb the huge heat energy released by the hydration reaction, and is rapidly heated and generates saturated or superheated steam, which is output from the steam outlet and directly used to meet various heat demand; by adjusting the air volume of the fan 15 and the water inlet amount of the atomizer 13, By adjusting the rotating speed of the fan 15 and the water inlet valve opening degree of the atomizer 13, the air amount and the water amount participating in the reaction can be accurately controlled, so that the hydration reaction rate and the system heat supply power can be flexibly and accurately adjusted to meet different load demands.

[0035] When it is monitored that the temperature of the packed bed significantly decreases or the steam generation capacity weakens to a set threshold value, it is indicated that the current round of energy release process is basically completed. At this time, the energy carrier material in the atomization heat release reactor 11 has been mainly converted into Ca(OH)2, which can be returned to the centralized energy storage unit 1 with the moving unit to start a new round of energy storage cycle.

[0036] At this time, the energy storage and energy release processes are completed, and efficient energy storage and flexible supply are realized.

[0037] The application is especially suitable for centralized energy storage consumption of green electricity or valley electricity such as photovoltaic electricity and wind power, and transports energy to the heat use scene in a moving way to realize green heat supply in the form of steam.
