Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of flue gas treatment and energy storage, and in particular to a thermal system and method coupling flue gas compression energy storage and carbon dioxide capture. BACKGROUND
[0002] The huge amount of carbon emissions since the industrial revolution has led to serious greenhouse effect. Compared with 1861-1900, the global land temperature rose by 1.6℃ in 2015-2019. The extreme climate brought by the rising sea level and temperature has begun to seriously threaten human survival. Therefore, reducing carbon dioxide emissions to slow down the greenhouse effect has become a global consensus.

[0053] Further, the post-processing unit 13 is connected with the third inlet of the desorption tower 11.
[0054] Specifically, a thermal system coupled with flue gas compression energy storage and carbon dioxide capture comprises, in sequence, a cyclone separator 1, a first-stage flue gas compressor 2, a first-stage intercooler 3, a second-stage flue gas compressor 4, a second-stage intercooler 5, a capture tower 7, a lean liquid pump 10, a rich liquid pump 8, a lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 9, a desorption tower 11, a reboiler 12, a post-processing unit 13, a compressed gas storage tank 6, a first valve 17, a low-temperature energy storage device 16, a regenerator 18, a steam turbine 19, a heat storage bin 14, and a cold storage bin 15.
[0055] The cyclone separator 1 is used to remove dust and solid impurities in the flue gas, and then the flue gas flows into the first-stage flue gas compressor 2 for first compression, the high-temperature and high-pressure flue gas discharged is cooled by the first-stage intercooler 3, and then flows into the second-stage flue gas compressor 4 for second compression, and the flue gas discharged flows into the second-stage intercooler 5 for second cooling. The flue gas after the two compressions flows into the capture tower 7 and is mixed with the capture liquid, and the capture tower absorbs CO2 to form rich liquid.
[0056] After the rich liquid flows out of the bottom of the capture tower 7, it is pressurized by the rich liquid pump 8 and enters the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 9 for preheating. It then enters the desorption tower 11 for decompression and temperature increase for desorption. The heat for the desorption process comes from the boiler waste heat in the reboiler 12.

[0057] The high-pressure nitrogen and oxygen mixture not absorbed by the captured liquid is discharged from the top of the capture tower 7 as an energy storage medium and flows into the compressed gas storage tank 6. When the system needs to release energy, the compressed gas is released from the compressed gas storage tank 6 and enters the low-temperature energy storage tank 16 through the first valve 17 for the first preheating. The preheated high-pressure gas flows into the regenerator 18 for the second preheating by the exhaust steam. After the two preheatings, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas enters the steam turbine 19 to perform work. The high-temperature exhaust steam after the work enters the regenerator 18 to preheat the compressed gas.
[0058] The heat storage medium used to preheat the compressed gas in the low-temperature accumulator 16 then flows into the cold storage bin 15. After preheating the compressed gas, the low-temperature heat storage medium is split into two streams, which flow into the primary intercooler 3 and the secondary intercooler 5, respectively, to cool the compressed gas discharged from the compressor outlet. The two high-temperature heat storage mediums, after cooling the compressed gas, merge in the heat storage bin 14 and then flow into the low-temperature accumulator 16 for combined preheating, completing the cycle.
