Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a heat storage system, in particular to a cold-heat storage heat storage system capable of long-term energy storage and a running method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of energy power. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, the recycling of zero-carbon waste heat resources such as power plant waste heat, industrial waste heat, data center waste heat, urban reclaimed water and waste incineration waste heat is an important technical path to reduce heating carbon emissions and achieve heating carbon neutrality. However, these valuable zero-carbon waste heat resources are emitted throughout the year. In order to collect and utilize the waste heat emitted in the non-heating season, cross-seasonal thermal storage technology is needed to store the waste heat recovered in the non-heating season for use in the heating season.

[0003] However, the existing cross-seasonal thermal storage technology has a small thermal storage temperature difference, a low thermal storage density, and a high cost per unit of thermal storage, so that cross-seasonal thermal storage cannot meet the economic requirements. Therefore, the lower limit of the water storage temperature of the cross-seasonal thermal storage system can be reduced to greatly improve the thermal storage temperature difference and the thermal storage density. Further, the water storage can be made into ice slurry, and the latent heat of the water storage can be used for heating, so that the thermal storage density can be increased by more than 3-4 times, thereby greatly reducing the thermal storage cost. In addition, the stored cold water and ice slurry can also be used for centralized cooling in summer to reduce air conditioning load and reduce the peak power demand of the power system.

[0004] However, in such a cross-seasonal cold-heat storage heat storage system, it is necessary to realize the conversion of high-temperature water storage and low-temperature water storage and ice slurry ice storage, to avoid cold-heat mixing as much as possible, to reduce the loss of cold storage and heat storage, to improve the heat storage efficiency of the long-term cold-heat storage heat storage system, and to reduce the heat storage cost.

[0045] Embodiment 2

[0046] As shown in Figure 2 The cold-heat storage heat storage system provided in the embodiment further includes an ice slurry mother pipe, and the first inlet and outlet (N-2) of the heat storage tank (N-1) is connected to the ice slurry mother pipe and the hot water mother pipe through the ice slurry valve (N-V1) and the hot water valve (N-V2) respectively on the basis of the embodiment 1.

[0047] Based on the cold-heat storage heat storage system provided in the above embodiments, the application further provides an operation method of the cold-heat storage heat storage system, which includes the following contents:

[0048] 1) Heat storage ice mode: in the starting stage, all heat storage units are filled with high-temperature water, the ice slurry valve (i-V1) of the i-th heat storage unit is closed, the hot water valve (i-V2) and the cold water valve (i-V3) are opened, the low-temperature water in the cold water mother pipe enters the heat storage tank (i-1) through the cold water valve (i-V3), and the high-temperature water originally stored in the heat storage tank (i-1) is sent out from the first inlet and outlet (i-2) and then sent into the hot water mother pipe through the hot water valve (i-V2), the water flow into the heat storage tank (i-1) is adjusted to adjust the heat supply of the system, and this stage continues until the heat storage tank (i-1) discharges all the high-temperature water and is filled with low-temperature water, and then enters the intermediate stage.

[0049] In the middle stage, the storage tanks of some of the thermal storage units are already filled with low temperature water, and the storage tanks of the rest of the thermal storage units are still filled with high temperature water. The ice slurry valve (j-V1) and the cold water valve (j-V3) of the jth thermal storage unit filled with low temperature water are opened, and the hot water valve (j-V2) is closed. The ice slurry from the ice slurry main pipe enters the storage tank (j-1) through the ice slurry valve (j-V1). Since the density of ice crystals is lower than that of water, the ice slurry will float on the top of the storage tank (j-1) after entering the storage tank (j-1), and the bottom of the storage tank (j-1) will be filled with low temperature water. The low temperature water stored in the storage tank (j-1) is sent out through the second inlet and outlet (j-3) of the storage tank (j-1) and enters the cold water main pipe through the cold water valve (j-V3). The low temperature water in the cold water main pipe enters the storage tank (k-1) through the cold water valve (k-V3), and the high temperature water originally stored in the storage tank (k-1) is sent out through the first inlet and outlet (k-2) of the storage tank (k-1) and enters the hot water main pipe through the hot water valve (k-V3). The heat supply and ice storage of the system are adjusted by adjusting the water flow and ice slurry flow into each storage tank. This stage continues until all the storage tanks of the thermal storage units are filled with low temperature water, and then enters the final stage.

[0050] In the final stage, the storage tanks of some of the thermal storage units are already filled with ice slurry, and the storage tanks of the rest of the thermal storage units are filled with low temperature water. The ice slurry valve (l-V1) and the cold water valve (l-V3) of the lth thermal storage unit filled with low temperature water are opened, and the hot water valve (l-V2) is closed. The ice slurry from the ice slurry main pipe enters the storage tank (l-1) through the ice slurry valve (l-V1). Since the density of ice crystals is lower than that of water, the ice slurry will float on the top of the storage tank (l-1) after entering the storage tank (l-1), and the bottom of the storage tank (l-1) will be filled with low temperature water. The low temperature water stored in the storage tank (l-1) is sent out through the second inlet and outlet (l-3) of the storage tank (l-1) and enters the cold water main pipe through the cold water valve (l-V3). The heat supply and ice storage of the system are adjusted by adjusting the ice slurry flow into each storage tank. This stage continues until all the storage tanks of the thermal storage units are filled with ice slurry.

[0051] 2) Cooling and heat storage mode: In the initial stage, all the ice slurry storages are filled with ice slurry, the ice slurry valve (a-V1) and the cold water valve (a-V3) of the a-th storage are opened, and the hot water valve (a-V2) is closed. The low-temperature water in the cold water main pipe flows into the a-th storage (a-1) through the cold water valve (a-V3), and the ice slurry stored at the top is sent out through the first inlet and outlet (a-2) of the a-th storage, and then is sent into the ice slurry main pipe through the ice slurry valve (a-V1). The cooling capacity of the system is adjusted by adjusting the water flow rate into the storage. This stage continues until the water flowing out of the first inlet and outlet (a-2) of the a-th storage (a-1) no longer contains ice slurry, at which time it is considered that the a-th storage (a-1) has released all the ice slurry and is filled with low-temperature water, and then enters the intermediate stage.

[0052] In the intermediate stage, the ice slurry storages of some storages are filled with low-temperature water, and the ice slurry storages of the remaining storages are still filled with ice slurry. The ice slurry valve (b-V1) of the b-th storage filled with low-temperature water is closed, and the hot water valve (b-V2) and the cold water valve (b-V3) are opened. The high-temperature water in the hot water main pipe flows into the b-th storage (b-1) through the hot water valve (b-V2), and the low-temperature water is sent out from the second inlet and outlet (b-3) of the b-th storage (b-1) and then is sent into the cold water main pipe through the cold water valve (b-V3). The ice slurry valve (c-V1) and the cold water valve (c-V3) of the c-th storage filled with ice slurry are opened, and the hot water valve (c-V2) is closed. The low-temperature water in the cold water main pipe flows into the c-th storage (c-1) through the cold water valve (c-V3), and the ice slurry stored at the top is sent out through the first inlet and outlet (c-2) of the c-th storage and then is sent into the ice slurry main pipe through the ice slurry valve (c-V1). The cooling capacity and the heat storage capacity of the system are adjusted by adjusting the water flow rate into each storage. This stage continues until there is no ice slurry in the ice slurry storages of all the storages, and then enters the final stage.

[0053] In the final stage, the ice slurry storages of some storages are filled with high-temperature water, and the ice slurry storages of the remaining storages are filled with low-temperature water. The ice slurry valve (d-V1) of the d-th storage filled with low-temperature water is closed, and the hot water valve (d-V2) and the cold water valve (d-V3) are opened. The high-temperature water in the hot water main pipe flows into the d-th storage (d-1) through the hot water valve (d-V2), and the low-temperature water is sent out from the second inlet and outlet (d-3) of the d-th storage (d-1) and then is sent into the cold water main pipe through the cold water valve (d-V3). The cooling capacity and the heat storage capacity of the system are adjusted by adjusting the water flow rate into each storage. This stage continues until all the ice slurry storages are filled with high-temperature water.

[0054] The above operation method makes each heat storage tank filled with high-temperature water be replaced by low-temperature water first, and then sends ice slurry into the heat storage tank filled with low-temperature water during the heating period; and makes each heat storage tank filled with ice slurry be replaced by low-temperature water first, and then stores high-temperature water in the heat storage tank during the cooling period, so that the ice slurry and the high-temperature water are not located in one heat storage tank at the same time, and the loss of a large amount of heat storage and cold storage caused by the floating of ice crystals and the direct heat exchange between the high-temperature water at the upper part and the ice crystals is avoided.

[0055] Embodiment 3

[0056] As shown in Figure 3 , the cold-heat storage heat storage system provided in the embodiment is based on the embodiment 2, and a third inlet and outlet (i-4) is additionally arranged on each heat storage tank (N-1) of each heat storage unit. The third inlet and outlet (i-4) is connected to the ice slurry mother pipe through an ice slurry valve (i-V1). Thus, when the ice slurry is stored, the ice slurry enters the heat storage tank (i-1) filled with low-temperature water through the third inlet and outlet (i-4). Because the ice crystals contained in the ice slurry have a smaller density, the ice crystals automatically float to the top of the heat storage tank (i-1), and the water in the ice slurry and the original low-temperature water in the heat storage tank (i-1) are sent out to the cold water mother pipe through the second inlet and outlet (i-3). When the ice slurry is released for cooling, the low-temperature water entering the heat storage tank (i-1) through the second inlet and outlet (i-3) exchanges heat with the ice crystals at the bottom of the ice slurry layer to melt the ice crystals, and the water temperature is further reduced to about 0℃. Then, the low-temperature water is sent out to the ice slurry mother pipe through the third inlet and outlet (i-4). At this time, the ice slurry is not sent into the ice slurry mother pipe, but the low-temperature water is sent into the ice slurry mother pipe.

[0057] The cold-heat storage heat storage system provided in the embodiment can avoid the blockage problem caused by the aggregation of ice crystals near the first inlet and outlet (N-2) of the heat storage tank (N-1), and the ice slurry is sent into the bottom of the heat storage tank, and the ice melting cooling mode is used.

The heat medium valve (j-V2) of the j-th heat storage unit storing the high-temperature medium is opened, while the ice slurry valve (j-V1) and the cold medium valve (j-V3) are closed. The high-temperature medium stored in the heat storage container (j-1) flows out from its third inlet and outlet (j-4), passes through the heat medium valve (j-V2), and enters the heat medium header. The system heat supply is adjusted by regulating the flow rate of the medium entering the heat storage container (i-1) and flowing out of the heat storage container (j-1). After the heat storage container (j-1) is emptied, the intermediate stage begins. In the intermediate stage, several heat storage units have their heat storage containers filled with low-temperature medium, and several heat storage units have their heat storage containers filled with ice slurry. The heat storage container (a-1) of the a-th heat storage unit is left empty, while the heat storage containers of the remaining heat storage units are filled with high-temperature medium. The cold medium valve (a-V3) of the a-th heat storage unit is opened, while the ice slurry valve (a-V1) and hot medium valve (a-V2) are closed. The low-temperature medium in the cold medium header enters the heat storage container (a-1) after passing through the cold medium valve (a-V3). Similarly, the ice slurry valve (b-V1) and cold medium valve (b-V3) of the b-th heat storage unit, which is filled with low-temperature medium, are opened, while the hot medium valve (b-V2) is closed. The ice slurry enters the heat storage container (b-1) from the ice slurry header through the ice slurry valve (b-V1). The low-temperature medium at the bottom of the device (b-1) is sent out through its second inlet and outlet (b-3), and after passing through the cold medium valve (b-V3), it is sent into the cold medium header. The hot medium valve (c-V2) of the cth heat storage unit, which is full of high-temperature medium, is opened, and the ice slurry valve (c-V1) and the cold medium valve (c-V3) are closed. The high-temperature medium stored in the heat storage container (c-1) flows out from its third inlet and outlet (c-4), and after passing through the hot medium valve (c-V2), it enters the hot medium header. The heat supply and ice storage are adjusted by regulating the flow rate of ice slurry entering the heat storage container (b-1), the medium entering the heat storage container (a-1), and the medium flowing out of the heat storage container (c-1). After all the high-temperature medium stored in the remaining heat storage containers except for one empty heat storage container is released, the final stage begins. In the final stage, the heat storage containers of several heat storage units are filled with ice slurry. The heat storage container (k-1) of the k-th heat storage unit is set to empty, and the heat storage containers of the remaining heat storage units are filled with cryogenic medium. The ice slurry valve (l-V1) and the cold medium valve (l-V3) of the l-th heat storage unit storing the cryogenic medium are opened, and the hot medium valve (l-V2) is closed. The ice slurry enters the heat storage container (l-1) from the ice slurry header pipe through the ice slurry valve (l-V1). The cryogenic medium stored at the bottom of the heat storage container (l-1) is sent out through its second inlet and outlet (l-3), and then sent into the cold medium header pipe after passing through the cold medium valve (l-V3). The heat supply and ice storage capacity of the system are adjusted by regulating the flow rate of ice slurry entering each heat storage container. Except for one empty heat storage container, the heat storage containers of all other heat storage units are filled with ice slurry. The operation process of the cooling and heat storage mode is as follows: In the initial stage, the heat storage container of one heat storage unit is empty, and the heat storage containers of the remaining heat storage units are filled with ice slurry. The ice slurry valve (w-V1) and cold medium valve (w-V3) of the w-th heat storage unit filled with ice slurry are opened, and the hot medium valve (w-V2) is closed. The low temperature medium in the cold medium header flows into the heat storage container (w-1) after passing through the cold medium valve (w-V3). The ice slurry stored at the top is sent out through its first inlet and outlet (w-2), and after passing through the ice slurry valve (w-V1), it is sent into the ice slurry header. The cooling capacity of the system is adjusted by regulating the flow rate of the medium entering the heat storage container. This stage continues until the medium flowing out of the first inlet and outlet (w-2) of the heat storage container (w-1) no longer contains ice slurry, and then the intermediate stage is entered. In the intermediate stage, several heat storage units have their heat storage containers filled with cold medium, and several heat storage units have their heat storage containers filled with ice slurry. The heat storage container (x-1) of the x-th heat storage unit is left empty, while the heat storage containers of the remaining heat storage units are filled with high-temperature medium. The hot medium valve (x-V2) of the x-th heat storage unit is opened, while the ice slurry valve (x-V1) and cold medium valve (x-V3) are closed. The high-temperature medium in the hot medium header passes through the hot medium valve (x-V2) and enters the heat storage container (x-1). Meanwhile, the cold medium valve (y-V3) of the y-th heat storage unit, which stores low-temperature medium, is opened, while the ice slurry valve (y-V1) and hot medium valve (y-V2) are closed. The low-temperature medium stored in the heat storage container (y-1) flows from its second inlet / outlet (y-... 3) The ice slurry flows out and enters the cold medium header after passing through the cold medium valve (y-V3); the ice slurry valve (z-V1) and cold medium valve (z-V3) of the z-th heat storage unit are opened, and the hot medium valve (z-V2) is closed. The low-temperature medium in the cold medium header flows into the heat storage container (z-1) after passing through the cold medium valve (z-V3). The ice slurry stored at the top is sent out through its first inlet and outlet (z-2), and after passing through the ice slurry valve (z-V1), it is sent into the ice slurry header. The cooling capacity and heat storage capacity are adjusted by regulating the flow rate of the medium entering the heat storage container (y-1) and the heat storage container (z-1) and flowing out of the heat storage container (x-1). This stage continues until there is no ice slurry in the heat storage containers of all heat storage units, and then the final stage begins. In the final stage, the heat storage containers of several heat storage units are filled with high-temperature medium. The heat storage container (d-1) of the d-th heat storage unit is set to empty, and the heat storage containers of the remaining heat storage units are filled with low-temperature medium. The cold medium valve (e-V3) of the e-th heat storage unit storing low-temperature medium is opened, and the ice slurry valve (e-V1) and the hot medium valve (e-V2) are closed. The low-temperature medium stored in the heat storage container (e-1) flows out from its second inlet and outlet (e-3), passes through the cold medium valve (e-V3), and enters the cold medium header. The hot medium valve (d-V2) of the d-th heat storage unit is opened, and the ice slurry valve (d-V1) and the cold medium valve (d-V3) are closed. The high-temperature medium in the hot medium header enters the heat storage container (d-1) after passing through the hot medium valve (d-V2). Except for one empty heat storage container, the heat storage containers of all other heat storage units are filled with high-temperature medium.
