The thermochemical energy storage system adopted is Ca(OH)2 / CaO, which stores energy through the mutual conversion between thermal energy and chemical energy, and uses the absorbed solar heat to heat the air. The Ca(OH)2 solid particles are in direct contact with the high-temperature hot air for heat exchange to produce an endothermic decomposition reaction, and the absorbed heat is stored in the form of chemical energy in the decomposition products CaO and H2O; when heat is needed, CaO and H2O undergo a reverse thermochemical reaction, and the chemical energy stored in CaO and H2O is reversed into thermal energy and released, and the released high-grade heat is used for power generation.

Specific

[0018] 1. In the rotary ball mill reactor provided by the present invention, the lower edge of the partition plate has a quarter-circle notch, and the height of the notch is less than the diameter of the grinding ball. Since most of the reactant solid particles are mainly located at the bottom of the reaction chamber under the action of gravity, the partition plate of this structure can ensure that the solid particles can flow smoothly and prevent the solid particles from accumulating in a certain compartment, causing local overheating and affecting the heat exchange effect; further, the partition plate is fixed on the fixed rod, and the partition plate is not in contact with the wall surface. At the same time, the two ends of the fixed rod are respectively fixed to the two ends of the rotary ball mill reactor, and the two ends of the rotary ball mill reactor do not rotate with the rotation of the middle part, so the partition plate does not rotate with the rotation of the middle reactor. In this way, while ensuring the above-mentioned effect (smooth flow of solid particles), it is also possible to ensure that the gas flows evenly between the spaces so that the gas can fully contact and react with the solid particles. In addition, the rotary ball mill reactor of the present application is designed without a heat exchange chamber. During the energy storage reaction process, the high-temperature air obtained after heating by the auxiliary unit is directly introduced into the reaction chamber and directly contacts and exchanges heat with the solid particles in the reaction chamber, so that during the energy storage reaction process, the high-temperature air is in direct contact with the solid particle reactants, and the heat exchange is more efficient.

[0019] 2. The calcium hydroxide thermochemical energy storage direct rotary ball mill reaction system provided by the present invention can realize the reversible reaction CaO+H2O→Ca(OH)2, and the received energy is stored in the form of chemical energy in its decomposition products CaO and H2O. It has the characteristics of high energy storage density, high cycle efficiency, fast reaction speed, environmental friendliness, stability, safety, and low raw material price. It can solve the problem of continuous and efficient operation of solar high-temperature thermal power stations, can be widely used in the field of solar high-temperature photothermal power generation, and is also suitable for high-temperature thermal energy storage and regeneration of other types of power stations.

[0020] 3. The calcium hydroxide thermochemical energy storage direct rotary ball mill reaction system proposed by the present invention can regulate the energy storage / release process, i.e., the decomposition / synthesis reaction of Ca(OH)2 solid particles, by adjusting the reaction temperature and pressure; matching the released thermal energy level, and more efficiently utilizing the thermal energy released by the reaction. Through the energy conversion and utilization concept of thermal energy-chemical energy-thermal energy, the problem of low energy utilization rate caused by heat mismatch and unevenness caused by time or place is solved.

[0021] Fourth, the calcium hydroxide thermochemical energy storage direct rotary ball mill reaction system provided by the present invention uses water vapor as both the reaction medium and the heat exchange medium for the synthesis reaction to regenerate high-temperature heat energy, and uses air as the heat exchange medium for the decomposition reaction to store high-temperature heat energy. The decomposition reaction and the synthesis reaction are stably operated in the same device, saving the installation and maintenance costs of the equipment, while reducing the energy consumption of the equipment operation and improving the stability of the entire set of equipment.

[0022] 5. The rotary ball mill reactor provided by the present invention can effectively improve the problems of agglomeration, sintering and deactivation of energy storage materials after high-temperature reaction. On the one hand, the steel balls are moved in the reaction chamber to crush and grind the reaction materials, thereby fully breaking up the agglomerated and sintered reactants, allowing the solid particles to fully react, thereby improving the conversion rate and the cycle performance of the reactor; on the other hand, the vibration generated by the falling steel balls promotes the full flow of solid particles, allowing the solid particles to fully contact and react with the gas, thereby promoting the mixing and reaction of gas-solid reactants, and improving the reaction efficiency and the cycle life of the reactants.
