Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photothermal power stations, and in particular to a solar power generation system and method. Background Art

[0002] Solar thermal power generation has the advantage of large-scale heat storage. Under good weather conditions, it can generate electricity continuously during the day and at night. It can undertake both peak-shaving tasks and base loads, and has great advantages in increasing the proportion of renewable energy power generation.

[0003] Typical solar thermal collection systems include trough, tower, linear Fresnel, and dish. Among them, trough and tower have entered the commercial development stage, linear Fresnel is in the pilot project development stage, and dish is in the demonstration stage. The working fluids of solar thermal collection systems include thermal oil, molten salt, and water. Molten salt has many advantages as a heat collection, heat storage, and heat exchange medium and is widely used. On the power generation side, the most widely used cycle is the steam Rankine cycle, while the supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle has attracted much attention due to its high cycle efficiency and is expected to become a circulation system for solar thermal power generation. However, the efficient coupling of the supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle and the thermal collection system is a key issue in the development of solar thermal power generation.

[0004] The difficulty of efficient coupling lies in the fact that the solar thermal power station adopts an advanced power generation cycle, namely the supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle. While improving the power generation efficiency, the temperature of supercritical carbon dioxide is still relatively low when it enters the heat exchanger relying solely on heat recovery. The temperature in the heat exchanger may still drop below the freezing point of the molten salt after heat exchange with the molten salt, causing freezing of the molten salt.

[0011] The first solar collector field and the preheater are redundant. When there is sufficient sunlight, the first solar collector field can use solar energy to directly heat the carbon dioxide circulating inside it. When there is insufficient sunlight, the preheater can be used to heat the carbon dioxide, making maximum use of solar energy resources. In the first solar collector field, the first mother pipe and the second mother pipe section are arranged with their pipe diameters so that the carbon dioxide flow in each of the first solar collector loops is balanced to achieve uniform heating.

[0015] Specifically, the second solar collector field includes a cold molten salt pump, a cold molten salt tank, a cold molten salt mother pipe, a hot molten salt pump, a hot molten salt tank, a hot molten salt mother pipe and n2 second solar collector circuits.

[0016] The cold molten salt mother pipe and the hot molten salt mother pipe are arranged in the same route; n2 second heat collection loops are arranged in parallel between the cold molten salt mother pipe and the hot molten salt mother pipe. The cold molten salt mother pipe includes i pipe sections, i = 1, 2, ..., n2-1.

[0017] The diameters of the cold molten salt main pipe and the hot molten salt main pipe branch sections are set so that the molten salt flow in each of the second heat collection loops is balanced to achieve uniform heating, and a higher temperature is ensured when the molten salt flows into the shell side of the heat exchanger.

[0021] Based on the same technical concept, the present invention also provides a power generation method of a solar power generation system, when the sunlight is sufficient, the first valve is opened, and the second valve and the third valve are closed. When the sunlight is insufficient, the first valve is closed, and the second valve and the third valve are opened.

[0022] The sufficient sunshine refers to a situation where there is sunshine 1 and the weather is "sunny" or "a little cloudy", and the insufficient sunshine refers to a situation where the weather is "cloudy" or "overcast" or "rainy".

[0023] Refer to the "Explanation of Weather Forecast Terms" published by Ji Wenchang in the "China Meteorological News" on August 25, 1989 ( http: / / www.cma.gov.cn / kppd / kppdqxsj / kppdqxgc / 201212 / t20121212_195901.html ): A sky without clouds or with scattered clouds but with cloud cover less than 1 / 10 of the sky area is called "clear". Sometimes there are very thin high clouds in the sky, but the sun can shine through, which is also called "clear". A situation where the amount of medium and low clouds occupies 1 / 10 to 3 / 10 of the sky area or the amount of high clouds occupies 4 / 10 to 5 / 10 of the sky area is called "few clouds". A situation where the amount of medium and low clouds occupies 4 / 10 to 7 / 10 of the sky area or the amount of high clouds occupies 6 / 10 to 10 / 10 of the sky area is called "overcast". When the amount of medium and low clouds occupies 8 / 10 or more of the sky area and the sun cannot shine through or shines through the clouds very little, it is called "overcast". A 24-hour precipitation of 0.1 to 9.9 mm or more is called "rain".

[0024] When there is sufficient sunlight, the first valve is opened, the first solar collector field works, the second valve and the third valve are closed, the preheater does not work, and the solar energy resources are fully utilized to heat the carbon dioxide.

[0025] The carbon dioxide working medium flows out from the tube side of the low-temperature regenerator and is divided. One part is cooled and reduced in temperature by the precooler, and then compressed and increased in pressure by the main compressor, and then flows into the shell side of the low-temperature regenerator to absorb heat and increase in temperature; the other part is compressed and increased in pressure by the recompressor, and then merges with the carbon dioxide at the output end of the shell side of the low-temperature regenerator to flow into the shell side of the high-temperature regenerator to absorb heat and increase in temperature, and then flows into the first collector field for preheating and temperature increase, and then flows into the tube side of the heat exchanger. At this time, the shell side of the heat exchanger is passed by the hot molten salt heated by the second collector field, and the high temperature of the molten salt can indirectly further heat the carbon dioxide on the tube side of the heat exchanger. The further heated carbon dioxide enters the high-pressure turbine to expand and do work, and then is exhausted to the reheater through the high-pressure turbine. After the reheater reheats the carbon dioxide, the carbon dioxide enters the low-pressure turbine to do work, thereby driving the generator to generate electricity. The carbon dioxide working medium after doing work flows into the tube side of the high-temperature regenerator and the tube side of the low-temperature regenerator in turn to release heat and reduce in temperature, and then enters the next cycle.

[0026] When the sunlight is insufficient, the first valve is closed and the first solar collector does not work. The second valve and the third valve are closed and the preheater works, which can ensure that the carbon dioxide can be heated to a temperature above the freezing point of the molten salt when the sunlight is insufficient.

[0027] The carbon dioxide working medium flows out from the tube side of the low-temperature regenerator and is divided. One part is cooled and reduced in temperature by the precooler, and then compressed and increased in pressure by the main compressor, and then flows into the shell side of the low-temperature regenerator to absorb heat and increase in temperature; the other part is compressed and increased in pressure by the recompressor, and then merges with the carbon dioxide at the output end of the shell side of the low-temperature regenerator and flows into the shell side of the high-temperature regenerator to absorb heat and increase in temperature, and then flows into the preheater for preheating and temperature increase, and then flows into the tube side of the heat exchanger. At this time, the shell side of the heat exchanger is passed by the hot molten salt heated by the second solar collector. The high temperature of the molten salt can indirectly further heat the carbon dioxide on the tube side of the heat exchanger. The further heated carbon dioxide enters the high-pressure turbine to expand and do work, and then is exhausted to the reheater through the high-pressure turbine. After the reheater reheats the carbon dioxide, the carbon dioxide enters the low-pressure turbine to do work, thereby driving the generator to generate electricity. The carbon dioxide working medium after doing work flows into the tube side of the high-temperature regenerator and the tube side of the low-temperature regenerator in turn to release heat and reduce in temperature, and then enters the next cycle.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] The present invention improves the power generation efficiency while preheating the carbon dioxide and setting up the first collector field and the preheater. When the carbon dioxide reaches the heat exchanger tube side, it maintains a relatively high temperature, which not only efficiently utilizes solar energy resources, but also greatly reduces the risk of molten salt freezing on the shell side of the heat exchanger. The mother pipe diameters are set in sections in the first collector field and the second collector field to achieve self-balancing of the flow in the pipeline, reduce the use of valves, and reduce the construction investment cost of the solar thermal power station.

[0041] S101, obtain the actual mass flow rate m of carbon dioxide in the first heat collection loop pipe 1,1 ;

[0042] Since the inlet static pressure of the first solar collector field is set to p1, that is, the static pressure at the cold end of the first solar collector loop is p1, the outlet static pressure of the first solar collector loop is assigned a value of 0.001, and the static pressure difference between the cold and hot ends of the first solar collector loop is calculated according to formula (1); the actual mass flow rate of carbon dioxide in the first solar collector loop pipe is calculated according to formula (2).
