Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of generator technology characterized by the application of special working fluid, in particular to a transcritical CO2 cycle power generation system. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, steam power plants based on Rankine cycle and gas turbine power plants based on Brayton cycle are widely used thermal power conversion systems, but both of them rely on primary energy and fossil fuels, and emit a large amount of carbon emissions in the actual production process. Therefore, developing renewable energy technology, improving energy utilization efficiency and developing efficient and low-carbon energy conversion technology are important technical means to realize green and sustainable development of economic society.

[0003] At present, carbon dioxide is widely used in thermal power conversion systems by researchers due to its environmental friendliness, safety, thermal stability and the advantage of being easy to heat to supercritical state. Supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) power cycle has the advantages of high thermal efficiency, compact components and simple power plant construction, and can be directly used to obtain medium and high temperature energy, and has a wide range of applications, including nuclear power generation, solar power generation and other fields.

[0004] In order to obtain high efficiency, in the power cycle with CO2 as the working medium, the CO2 at the inlet of the compressor is usually in a state close to but slightly higher than the critical point. However, the thermal physical properties of CO2 will change significantly near the critical point. The most important problem caused by this property mutation is that the fluid density at the inlet of the compressor will change sharply with the influence of the ambient temperature, which will cause the system to run unstable due to the change of mass flow.

[0005] The patent application with publication number CN111852602A discloses a transcritical carbon dioxide power generation system based on a vortex tube. The system pressurizes and heats the low-pressure protective liquid CO2 fluid through a CO2 working fluid pump and a heater, injects the high-pressure superheated CO2 fluid into a CO2 turbine, thereby driving the generator to generate electricity, and the CO2 fluid discharged from the CO2 turbine is cooled by a cooler and injected into the vortex tube for separation. The separated superheated gaseous CO2 fluid is pressurized by a compressor and then injected into the vortex tube for separation again, until all of them are converted into low-pressure saturated liquid CO2 fluid, thereby solving the problem of difficult condensation of CO2 in high temperature environment.

[0006] However, in the prior art, the heat provided by the heat source is generally stable, so that the power generated by the power generation system is also stable without special circumstances. The prior art does not consider the influence of the power demand change of the external power grid, and cannot dynamically adjust the power generation power of the power generation system according to the power demand of the external power grid. For example, when the power demand of the external power grid decreases and the power generation power of the power generation system is greater than the power demand of the external power grid, the excess power generated by the power generation system is wasted. Conversely, when the power demand of the external power grid increases and the power generation power of the power generation system is less than the power demand of the external power grid, the power generation system cannot meet the power demand of the external power grid.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The embodiments of the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and therefore only serve as examples, and cannot limit the protection scope of the present application.

[0038] As Figure 1 shown in the schematic diagram of the transcritical CO2 cycle power generation system, the power generation system comprises:

[0039] The transcritical CO2 cycle system comprises a working fluid inlet and a working fluid outlet.

[0040] The turbine generator 3 comprises a working fluid injection inlet and a working fluid discharge outlet, which is connected to the working fluid inlet, and the turbine generator 3 is connected to an external power grid through a low-voltage power grid.

[0041] The heat exchange system comprises a working fluid three-way valve 19, the inlet end of which is connected to the working fluid outlet, and the two outlet ends are connected to the working fluid injection inlet through the heater 20 and the phase change energy storage array 18 respectively.

[0042] The temperature control machine 21 is provided with a heat source inlet and a heat source outlet, and the heat source outlet is connected to the heat source inlet end of the phase change energy storage array 18 and the heater 20 through the heat source three-way valve 17 respectively.

[0043] The temperature control machine 21 and the heat source three-way valve 17 are respectively configured to adjust the heat source temperature and the heat source flow injected into the phase change energy storage array 18 and the heater 20 according to the power demand of the external power grid.

[0044] Specifically, the power generation system comprises a transcritical CO2 cycle system, a turbine generator 3, a heat exchange system and a temperature control machine 21. Among them, the high-temperature CO2 working fluid is injected into the turbine 2 of the turbine generator 3 through the working fluid injection inlet, and after doing work, it is discharged from the working fluid discharge outlet, and then injected into the transcritical CO2 cycle system through the working fluid inlet to recover into low-temperature CO2 working fluid. The low-temperature CO2 working fluid is injected into the working fluid three-way valve 19 through the working fluid outlet, and the working fluid three-way valve 19 can adjust the low-temperature CO2 working fluid flow injected into the heater 20 and the phase change energy storage array 18. After the low-temperature CO2 liquid working fluid exchanges heat with the heater 20 and the phase change energy storage array 18 respectively, it recovers into high-temperature CO2 working fluid and is injected into the turbine 2 again to generate electricity.

[0045] In the process of power generation, the heat source can be injected into the heater 20 and the phase change energy storage array 18 through the temperature control machine 21 and the heat source three-way valve 17 respectively. The temperature control machine 21 can adjust the injected heat source temperature, the heat source three-way valve 17 can distribute the heat source energy injected into the heater 20 and the phase change energy storage array 18, and by cooperating with the working fluid three-way valve 19, the flow and temperature of the high-temperature CO2 working fluid injected into the turbine 2 can be controlled, so as to adjust the power generation power of the turbine generator 3 to adapt to the power demand change of the external power grid.

[0046] For example, when the external grid power demand increases, the output ac of the working fluid three-way valve 19 can be opened, and the output ai of the working fluid three-way valve 19 can be opened. At the same time, the output c of the heat source three-way valve 17 can be closed, and the output i of the heat source three-way valve 17 can be fully opened. In this way, the heat source working fluid can be injected into the heater 20 to heat the injected CO2 working fluid. At the same time, the phase change energy storage array 18 can also inject the CO2 working fluid to heat the heat stored in the phase change energy storage array 18 when the external grid power demand decreases.

[0047] The high-temperature CO2 working fluid heated by the phase change energy storage array 18 and the heater 20 is injected into the turbine 2 through the working fluid injection port to do work. At this time, all heat sources are injected into the heater 20, so that the heat absorption of the CO2 working fluid reaches the maximum, thereby increasing the output power of the turbine 2, and thereby increasing the power generation of the turbine generator 3 to meet the increased external grid power demand.

[0048] Furthermore, the heat source temperature of the heat source working fluid can be adjusted by the temperature control machine 21 according to the degree of increase of the external grid power demand. If the degree of increase is small, the temperature control machine 21 can not be started. If the degree of increase is large, the temperature control machine 21 can be started to heat the heat source working fluid, thereby increasing the heat of the heat source working fluid, and further increasing the heat absorption of the CO2 working fluid.

[0049] Conversely, when the external grid power demand decreases, the output ac of the working fluid three-way valve 19 can be closed, and the output c of the heat source three-way valve 17 can be opened. At this time, part of the heat source working fluid can be injected into the phase change energy storage array 18 along the output c. The phase change material in the phase change energy storage array 18 can absorb heat and melt, and store the energy of the heat source working fluid in the phase change energy storage array 18. Another part of the heat source working fluid can be injected into the heater 20 from the output i to heat the CO2 working fluid. The flow of the heat source working fluid injected into the heater 20 decreases, and the heat absorbed by the CO2 working fluid also decreases, thereby reducing the output power of the turbine 2, and further reducing the power generation of the turbine generator 3 to meet the reduced external grid power demand.

[0050] The heat source three-way valve 17 can be a three-way flow regulating valve, which can adjust the flow of the heat source injected into the phase change energy storage array 18 and the heater 20 according to the degree of decrease of the external grid power demand. If the degree of decrease is small, most of the heat source working fluid can be injected into the heater 20. If the degree of decrease is large, most of the heat source working fluid can be injected into the phase change energy storage array 18, so that most of the heat is stored in the phase change energy storage array 18 to avoid waste.

[0051] In the embodiment, the transcritical CO2 cycle system can include:

[0052] The vortex tube 9 includes a CO2 working medium inlet q, a CO2 saturated liquid outlet t, a CO2 saturated vapor outlet r and a CO2 superheated vapor outlet o, the CO2 working medium inlet q is communicated with the working medium inlet;

[0053] The liquid mixer 5 includes two liquid inlets and a liquid outlet, one of the liquid inlets is communicated with the CO2 saturated liquid outlet t, and the liquid outlet is communicated with the working medium outlet;

[0054] The gas mixer 11 includes two gas inlets and a gas outlet, the two gas inlets are respectively communicated with the CO2 saturated vapor outlet r and the CO2 superheated vapor outlet o;

[0055] The compressor 1 includes a gas inlet and a liquid outlet, the gas inlet is communicated with the gas outlet, and the liquid outlet is communicated with the other liquid inlet.

[0056] Specifically, the transcritical CO2 cycle system includes the vortex tube 9, the liquid mixer 5, the gas mixer 11 and the compressor 1. The low-temperature CO2 working medium discharged from the turbine 2 can be injected into the vortex tube 9 through the CO2 working medium inlet q of the vortex tube 9.

[0057] It should be understood that the vortex tube 9 is a simple and compact pressure reduction device without moving parts and does not consume any additional power, and is easy to operate and maintain. By using the Ranque-Hilsch effect, the vortex tube 9 can simultaneously separate a flow of fluid into two streams of cold and hot fluid with different temperatures. When high-pressure gas is injected into the vortex tube 9, the high-pressure gas will be separated into three parts, which are saturated vapor, saturated liquid and superheated gas. Compared with the traditional low-temperature condenser, the use of the vortex tube 9 realizes the self-condensation of CO2 at the near-critical point, and solves the problem of unstable operation of the system caused by the sudden change of the properties of CO2 near the near-critical point.

[0058] Therefore, the vortex tube 9 can split the low-temperature CO2 working medium vapor. The split CO2 saturated liquid can be discharged from the CO2 saturated liquid outlet t of the vortex tube 9 and injected into the liquid mixer 5 through the pipeline. The split CO2 saturated vapor and CO2 superheated vapor of the vortex tube 9 can be discharged from the CO2 saturated vapor outlet r and the CO2 superheated vapor outlet o respectively and injected into the gas mixer 11 through the pipeline respectively. After the CO2 saturated vapor and the CO2 superheated vapor are fully mixed in the gas mixer 11, the mixed gas of the CO2 saturated vapor and the CO2 superheated vapor can be injected into the compressor 1, and the mixed gas of the CO2 saturated vapor and the CO2 superheated vapor is compressed into CO2 liquid by the compressor 1 and discharged from the liquid outlet. The CO2 liquid discharged from the liquid outlet is injected into the liquid mixer 5 through the pipeline, and after being fully mixed with the CO2 saturated liquid in the liquid mixer 5, it is injected into the heat exchange system through the working medium three-way valve 19.

[0059] In the embodiment, the transcritical CO2 cycle system further comprises a pre-cooler 10, two ends of the pre-cooler 10 are communicated with the CO2 working medium inlet q and the working medium inlet respectively.

[0060] Specifically, the pre-cooler 10 is further arranged between the turbine 2 and the vortex tube 9, the pre-cooler 10 comprises a refrigeration pipe and a working medium pipe, an input end k and an output end l of the refrigeration pipe are communicated with a circulating cold source, so that the cold source working medium can flow in the refrigeration pipe. Two ends of the working medium pipe are communicated with the working medium inlet and the CO2 working medium inlet q of the vortex tube 9 respectively. In this way, the low-temperature CO2 working medium can exchange heat with the cold source working medium flowing in the refrigeration pipe before being injected into the vortex tube 9, so as to further reduce the temperature of the low-temperature CO2 working medium, make the CO2 working medium enter the two-phase region, so that the vortex tube 9 can carry out two-phase separation, and the energy consumed in the compression process can be reduced.

[0061] In the embodiment, the transcritical CO2 cycle system further comprises a high-temperature regenerator 4, the high-temperature regenerator 4 comprises two high-temperature heat exchange pipes, one of the high-temperature heat exchange pipes is communicated with the liquid outlet end and the working medium outlet, and the other high-temperature heat exchange pipe is communicated with the pre-cooler 10 and the working medium inlet.

[0062] Specifically, the high-temperature regenerator 4 is further arranged between the pre-cooler 10 and the working medium inlet, the high-temperature regenerator 4 comprises two high-temperature heat exchange pipes. An input end z of one of the high-temperature heat exchange pipes is communicated with the working medium inlet, and an output end aa is connected to the working medium pipe of the pre-cooler 10. An input end x of the other high-temperature heat exchange pipe is communicated with the liquid outlet end of the liquid mixer 5, and an output end y is communicated with the working medium outlet.

[0063] In this way, the low-temperature CO2 working medium injected from the working medium inlet can be injected into the high-temperature heat exchange pipe to exchange heat with the CO2 liquid injected from the liquid mixer 5 in the other high-temperature heat exchange pipe, and the heated CO2 liquid can be injected into the heat exchange system from the working medium outlet for further heating. Thus, the heat in the low-temperature CO2 working medium is recycled, and the energy consumption is further reduced. Moreover, the temperature of the low-temperature CO2 working medium injected into the pre-cooler 10 can be reduced in advance, and the cooling effect is improved.

[0064] In the embodiment, the transcritical CO2 cycle system further comprises a low-temperature regenerator 6, the low-temperature regenerator 6 comprises two low-temperature heat exchange pipes, one of the low-temperature heat exchange pipes is communicated with the CO2 saturated liquid outlet t and the liquid inlet end, and the other low-temperature heat exchange pipe is communicated with the high-temperature heat exchange pipe and the pre-cooler 10.

[0065] Specifically, a low-temperature regenerator 6 is further arranged between the high-temperature regenerator 4 and the pre-cooler 10. The low-temperature regenerator 6 can heat the CO2 saturated liquid discharged from the CO2 saturated liquid outlet t of the vortex tube 9 by using the heat in the low-temperature CO2 working medium after heat exchange in the high-temperature regenerator 4, so as to increase the temperature of the CO2 saturated liquid, further recover the heat in the low-temperature CO2 working medium, and reduce the heat consumed for heating the CO2 working medium.

[0066] In the embodiment, the low-temperature regenerator 6 includes two low-temperature heat exchange tubes. One low-temperature heat exchange tube is connected at the input end u to the CO2 saturated liquid outlet t of the vortex tube 9 and at the output end v to the liquid inlet end of the liquid mixer 5. The other low-temperature heat exchange tube is connected at the input end to the output end aa of the high-temperature regenerator and at the output end ab to the working medium tube of the pre-cooler 10.

[0067] In this way, the low-temperature CO2 working medium cooled in the high-temperature regenerator 4 can be injected into one of the low-temperature heat exchange tubes of the low-temperature regenerator 6 and heat exchanged with the CO2 saturated liquid injected into the other low-temperature heat exchange tube, so as to heat the CO2 saturated liquid discharged from the vortex tube 9. The heated CO2 saturated liquid can be injected into the liquid mixer 5 and mixed with the CO2 liquid discharged from the compressor 1.

[0068] In the embodiment, the transcritical CO2 cycle system further includes a booster pump 7 connected to the CO2 saturated liquid outlet t and the low-temperature heat exchange tube.

[0069] Specifically, the booster pump 7 is arranged between the CO2 saturated liquid outlet t of the vortex tube 9 and the input end u of the low-temperature regenerator 6. The booster pump 7 can boost the CO2 saturated liquid discharged from the CO2 saturated liquid outlet t, so as to increase the liquid pressure of the CO2 saturated liquid and keep the pressure of the CO2 saturated liquid the same as the pressure of the CO2 liquid discharged from the compressor 1, thereby increasing the inlet pressure of the CO2 working medium injected into the turbine 2 to generate power.

[0070] In the embodiment, the transcritical CO2 cycle system further includes a heat-consuming device 8. The low-temperature heat exchange tube is connected to the pre-cooler 10 through the heat-consuming device 8.

[0071] Specifically, the heat-consuming device 8 can be arranged between the working medium tube of the pre-cooler 10 and the output end ab of the low-temperature regenerator 6. The heat-consuming device 8 can supply heat to users, such as a heating device. The heat-consuming device 8 can recover and utilize the heat of the low-temperature CO2 working medium and further reduce the temperature of the low-temperature CO2 working medium injected into the pre-cooler 10.

[0072] In the embodiment, optionally, the low-voltage power grid is electrically connected with the temperature control machine 21, the compressor 1 and the booster pump 7 respectively. Specifically, the low-voltage power grid can be connected to the external power grid through the transformer 13. Part of the electric energy generated by the turbine generator 3 can be supplied to the temperature control machine 21, the compressor 1 and the booster pump 7 in the system through the low-voltage power grid. Another part can be supplied to the external power grid.

[0073] In the embodiment, optionally, a photovoltaic power generation system 12, and / or a wind power generation system 14, and / or a battery energy storage system 15 are further included, and all are electrically connected with the low-voltage power grid.

[0074] Specifically, the photovoltaic power generation system 12, and / or the wind power generation system 14, and / or the battery energy storage system 15 can be connected to the low-voltage power grid. The photovoltaic power generation system 12 can generate electricity by using sunlight, and the electric energy generated by the photovoltaic power generation system 12 can be converted into a voltage suitable for the low-voltage power grid through a DC / AC conversion module and the transformer 13. Similarly, the wind power generation system 14 can generate electricity by using wind power, and the electric energy generated by the wind power generation system 14 can be converted into a voltage suitable for the low-voltage power grid through a DC / AC conversion module and the transformer 13.

[0075] The electric energy generated by the wind power generation system 14 and the photovoltaic power generation system 12 can provide additional electric power for the operation of the entire system to supplement the electric power generated by the turbine generator 3 when the electric power generated by the turbine generator 3 is insufficient, so as to maintain the booster pump 7, the compressor 1 and the temperature controller to continue to work normally.

[0076] When the electric power generated by the wind power generation system 14, the photovoltaic power generation system 12 and the turbine generator 3 is sufficient and has a surplus, the excess electric power can be input into the battery through the inverter 16 for storage. When the power demand of the external power grid increases, the electric power released by the battery can be used to supplement the insufficient part of the turbine generator 3.

[0077] In the embodiment, optionally, the working fluid flow and the heat source flow injected into the phase change energy storage array 18 and the heater 20 are adjusted according to the power demand of the external power grid, including:

[0078] When the power demand of the external power grid is in a low load state, and the battery energy storage system is saturated, at this time, the additional electric energy generated by the new energy system such as the wind power generation system 14 and the photovoltaic power generation system 12 can be input into the phase change energy storage array 18 for storage, and part of the heat source working fluid flowing from the heat source three-way valve can be injected into the heater 20 through the output end i to maintain the stable operation of the power generation system, and the remaining part can be injected into the phase change energy storage array 18 through the output end c to store the heat source. The heat source working fluid flow distribution of the output end i and the output end c of the heat source three-way valve 17 can be calculated according to the following calculation formula:

[0079] ;

[0081] wherein, is the heat source flow rate injected into the heater before the demand change, is the heat source enthalpy injected into the heater before the demand change, is the heat source flow rate output by the temperature controller before the demand change, is the heat source flow rate injected into the temperature controller before the demand change, is the heat source enthalpy output by the temperature controller before the demand change, which can be directly calculated by monitoring the temperature and pressure of the heat source output by the corresponding output end of the temperature controller and using existing enthalpy calculation software, is the heat source enthalpy injected into the heater after the demand change and again stable, is the heat source flow rate injected into the heater after the demand change and again stable, is the heat source flow rate injected into the phase change energy storage array after the demand change and again stable;

[0082] When the power demand of the external power grid is in a high load state, the electric heating temperature controller stops heating. Part of the CO2 working medium injected into the working medium three-way valve 19 is injected into the phase change energy storage array 18 from the output end ac, and the output end ac of the working medium three-way valve 19 can output CO2 working medium at the maximum flow rate of the phase change energy storage array 18. The remaining part can be injected into the heater 20 along the output end ai to absorb the heat of the heat source working medium. The output end c of the heat source three-way valve 17 can be closed, and all the injected heat source working medium is injected into the heater 20 along the output end i.
