[0002] To effectively utilize industrial waste heat, Carnot battery energy storage systems are installed in industrial systems. However, existing Carnot battery energy storage systems lack the ability to utilize heat energy of different grades, resulting in the use of only a portion of the heat energy during the energy storage process. This leads to low electricity-to-electricity conversion efficiency and consequently, a significant amount of industrial waste heat is wasted. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide an energy storage system coupled with industrial waste heat to solve the technical problem of significant waste of industrial waste heat in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is to provide an energy storage system coupled with industrial waste heat, which includes:

[0005] An energy storage unit is connected to the waste heat channel of the industrial system through a waste heat utilization unit. The energy storage unit includes a first circuit and a compressor and several energy storage modules arranged sequentially on the first circuit and located after the waste heat utilization unit. The first circuit flows through the waste heat utilization unit, and different energy storage modules are used to store heat energy of different grades.

[0006] The energy release unit includes a second circuit and a turbine generator disposed on the second circuit, the second circuit flowing through each of the energy storage modules;

[0007] Each loop is used to circulate the working fluid, which in turn drives the flow of heat within each loop.

Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0034] In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise expressly and specifically defined.

[0035] It is understood that steam is used as the working medium in the description of the various embodiments of this application.

[0036] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 The energy storage system coupled with industrial waste heat provided in the embodiments of this application will now be described.

[0037] refer to Figure 1 The energy storage system coupled with industrial waste heat described in this application embodiment includes an energy storage unit 10 and an energy release unit 20.

[0038] In this embodiment, the energy storage unit 10 and the waste heat channel of the industrial system 40 are connected through the waste heat utilization unit 30. (Reference) Figure 1 and Figure 4 It is understood that in this embodiment, the industrial system 40 is a heavy oil extraction system, which includes a heavy oil injection and production well 410, a steam separator 420, a processing station 430, a water treatment system 440 and a boiler system 450 that are connected in sequence. The aforementioned waste heat utilization unit 30 is located between the steam separator 420 and the processing station 430.

[0039] Specifically, the process flow of the heavy oil extraction system is as follows: the produced fluid extracted from the heavy oil injection-production well 410 of the oilfield passes through a steam separator 420. The degassed produced fluid separated by the steam separator 420 enters other process flows for further processing. The low-temperature, low-pressure steam (e.g., steam at 160℃-180℃ and 0.52MPa-0.65MPa) separated by the steam separator 420 enters the waste heat utilization unit 30 for heat exchange and is converted into hot water at approximately 70℃. The hot water then passes through a treatment station 430, a water treatment system 440, and a boiler system 450, and is converted back into high-temperature, high-pressure steam for use in heavy oil extraction. That is, the industrial waste heat mentioned in this application is the low-temperature, low-pressure steam separated by the steam separator 420.

[0040] It is understood that the aforementioned waste heat utilization unit 30 is a steam-to-steam heat exchanger. One side is coupled to the heavy oil extraction process, wherein the inlet is the aforementioned low-temperature, low-pressure steam at 160℃-180℃ and 0.52MPa-0.65MPa, and the outlet is hot water at about 70℃; the other side is coupled to the energy storage unit 10, wherein the inlet is low-temperature steam and the outlet is high-temperature steam.

[0041] refer to Figure 1 It is understood that the energy storage unit 10 includes a first loop 111, a compressor 120, and energy storage modules 130 at various stages. The first loop 111 is used to circulate the working fluid, so that the working fluid, after heat exchange in the waste heat utilization unit 30, circulates once in the first loop 111 and then returns to the waste heat utilization unit 30 for heat exchange. In this embodiment, the working fluid is steam. The compressor 120 and the energy storage modules 130 at various stages are arranged on the first loop 111 and located after the waste heat utilization unit 30. For example, the first loop 111 flows sequentially through the waste heat treatment unit, the compressor 120, and the energy storage modules 130 at various stages. Thus, the saturated steam formed after heat exchange in the waste heat utilization unit 30 can be compressed by the compressor 120 to form high-temperature and high-pressure superheated steam, which flows to the energy storage modules 130 at various stages for thermal energy storage. After energy storage in the energy storage modules 130, the superheated steam is converted into low-temperature and low-pressure steam or unsaturated water and flows back to the waste heat utilization unit 30 for heat exchange again.

[0042] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is important to understand that energy storage modules 130 of different levels are used to store thermal energy of different grades. For example, when the working fluid is steam, the energy storage module 130 can be configured as a sensible heat energy storage module 131 and a latent heat energy storage module 132, or it can be configured as multiple sensible heat energy storage modules 131 to store energy for steam in different states. After being compressed by the compressor 120, the steam becomes superheated steam. During the process of converting into low-temperature, low-pressure steam or unsaturated water, a large amount of sensible heat and latent heat will be released at different cooling stages. For example, a large amount of sensible heat will be released during the cooling of superheated steam into saturated steam, latent heat will be released during the conversion of saturated steam into saturated water, and sensible heat will be released during the cooling of saturated water into unsaturated water.

[0043] Therefore, by setting up multi-level energy storage modules 130 to store the heat energy released during the cooling process of superheated steam, the heat energy released by superheated steam at different cooling stages can be fully utilized, avoiding excessive waste of industrial waste heat, which is conducive to improving the energy storage efficiency of the Carnot battery energy storage system.

[0044] refer to Figure 1The energy release unit 20 includes a second circuit 211 and a turbine generator 220 disposed on the second circuit 211. The second circuit 211 flows through energy storage modules 130 at various stages. A circulating working fluid flows in the second circuit 211 and is used to transfer the heat energy released by the energy storage modules 130 to the turbine generator 220 for power generation. In some embodiments, the working fluid in the second circuit 211 may be steam.

[0045] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the energy storage unit 10 further includes a renewable energy generation device 140, which is connected to the compressor 120 to provide power.

[0046] In some embodiments, the renewable energy power generation device 140 includes a solar power generation device and / or a wind power generation device.

[0047] By connecting the compressor 120 to the renewable energy power generation device 140, the electrical energy generated by the renewable energy power generation device 140 can drive the compressor 120, which compresses saturated steam to form superheated steam. The energy storage module 130 then stores the heat energy in the superheated steam. That is, the heat energy generated by the renewable energy power generation device can be indirectly stored in the energy storage module 130. Thus, when the renewable energy power generation device 140 is generating electricity, the electrical energy directly drives the compressor 120 and is indirectly stored in the energy storage module 130. When the renewable energy power generation device 140 is stopped, the compressor 120 is driven by other electrical sources, thereby solving the indirectness problem of renewable energy power generation (especially solar or wind power).

[0048] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the same energy storage module 130 includes several sub-modules 1301; different sub-modules 1301 are connected by a third passage 112, and a regulating valve is provided on the third passage 112. It should be understood that the energy storage module 130 in this embodiment takes a sensible heat energy storage module 131 as an example, and takes two sub-modules 1301 as an example.

[0049] When storing energy with a working fluid of the same grade, although the working fluid remains within the same grade range after storage, its temperature, pressure, and other parameters decrease, and its flow rate may also change. This results in lower energy storage efficiency of the working fluid in the same energy storage module 130. To address this, multiple sub-modules 1301 are set up in the same energy storage module 130, and a third passage 112 is connected between the sub-modules 1301. After the working fluid has undergone energy storage once in the first sub-module 1301, although its parameters have changed, the parameters of the working fluid can be matched with the high-efficiency operating range of the second sub-module 1301 by adjusting the relevant parameters of the working fluid through the regulating valve, thereby improving the energy storage efficiency.

[0050] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is understandable that, in order to enable the compressor 120 to fully compress the working fluid so that the parameters of the working fluid can reach the optimal operating conditions of the energy storage module 130, and also to make full use of the residual heat energy of the stored working fluid, based on the aforementioned embodiment, the compressor 120 is provided with at least two stages, and each stage of the compressor 120 is connected in series in the first circuit 111.

[0051] refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, taking a compressor 120 with two stages as an example, namely a first compressor 121 and a second compressor 122, a fourth passage 113 connects the first compressor 121 and the second compressor 122, that is, the working fluid compressed by the first compressor 121 flows to the second compressor 122 through the fourth passage 113. At the same time, a three-way valve is provided on the third passage 112, and each branch of the three-way valve is connected to two different sub-modules 1301 and the fourth passage 113 respectively.

[0052] Specifically, after energy storage in the first submodule 1301 of the energy storage module 130, part of the working fluid flows to the third passage 112. At the same time, the working fluid compressed by the first compressor 121 flows to the fourth passage 113. At this time, the temperature of the working fluid in the third passage 112 is higher than that in the fourth passage 113. Since the third passage 112 and the fourth passage 113 are connected, part of the working fluid in the third passage 112 flows to the second submodule 1301 for further energy storage. The remaining part of the working fluid in the third passage 112 flows to the fourth passage 113 and mixes with the working fluid in the fourth passage 113. After the temperature of the mixed working fluid is increased to a certain extent, it enters the second compressor 122. This fully utilizes the thermal energy of the working fluid stored in the third passage 112 and also makes the parameters of the working fluid entering the second compressor 122 more suitable for the high-efficiency operating range of the second compressor 122.

[0053] refer to Figure 2In a further embodiment, a fifth passage 114 is also connected between the fourth passage 113 and the second submodule 1301. The connection point between the fourth passage 113 and the fifth passage 114 is located downstream of the connection point between the third passage 112 and the fourth passage 113. At the same time, a three-way valve is provided at the connection point between the fourth passage 113 and the fifth passage 114.

[0054] The working fluid compressed by the first compressor 121 flows into the fourth passage 113 to enter the second compressor 122. At this time, since the third passage 112 is connected to the fourth passage 113, part of the working fluid that has been stored in the third passage 112 also flows to the fourth passage 113. As a result, the flow rate of the working fluid in the fourth passage 113 to the second compressor 122 is large, which may exceed the operating limit of the second compressor 122 and thus affect the stable operation of the second compressor 122.

[0055] To this end, a three-way valve is installed on the fourth passage 113, and a fifth passage 114 is connected between one branch of the three-way valve and the second submodule 1301. The three-way valve diverts the working fluid in the fourth passage 113 to reduce the flow rate of the working fluid flowing into the second compressor 122 in the fourth passage 113 to a reasonable range. At the same time, the mixed working fluid in the fifth passage 114 flows to the second submodule 1301, where the second submodule 1301 stores the heat it contains.

[0056] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the energy storage module 130 includes a sensible heat energy storage module 131 and a latent heat energy storage module 132, with a submodule 1301 disposed above the sensible heat energy storage module 131. For example, the sensible heat energy storage module 131 may be disposed before the latent heat energy storage module 132, or the latent heat energy storage module 132 may be disposed before the sensible heat energy storage module 131.

[0057] It is understood that in the energy storage system coupled with industrial waste heat in this embodiment of the application, the working fluid circulating in the energy storage unit 10 is steam. Furthermore, since the heat energy released by superheated steam during cooling to saturated steam is sensible heat, the heat energy released by saturated steam during cooling to saturated water is latent heat, and the heat energy released by saturated water during cooling to unsaturated water is sensible heat, by setting up the sensible heat energy storage module 131 and the latent heat energy storage module 132, the heat energy released by superheated steam at each stage of cooling to unsaturated water can be fully utilized.

[0058] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, multiple sensible heat storage modules 131 are provided. This embodiment takes two as an example, namely a first sensible heat storage module 1311 and a second sensible heat storage module 1312; at the same time, one latent heat storage module 132 is provided, which is disposed between the two sensible heat storage modules 131. Each energy storage module 130 is responsible for storing thermal energy of different grades.

[0059] In the specific configuration, for the sensible heat storage module 131, the storage material of the first sensible heat storage module 1311 can be molten salt or fixed heat storage material (such as sand-rock-mineral oil, refractory bricks, etc.), and its specific type is determined according to the circulating working fluid in the high-temperature section; while the storage material of the second sensible heat storage module 1312 can be a phase change material in the low-temperature section, such as wax phase change material, salt phase change material, etc., and its specific selection can be combined with the circulating working fluid parameters and the conditions of the application scenario.

[0060] For the latent heat energy storage module 132, the operating temperature range of its storage material is near the latent heat temperature range of the working fluid, such as NaNO3, NaNO3-KNO3 and other phase change materials; the specific material needs to be selected according to the temperature range of the system application scenario.

[0061] For example, the first sensible heat storage module 1311 is responsible for storing the sensible heat released during the cooling of superheated steam to saturated steam, the latent heat storage module 132 is used to store the latent heat released during the cooling of saturated steam to saturated water, and the second sensible heat storage module 1312 is used to store the sensible heat released during the cooling of saturated water to unsaturated water; meanwhile, in some embodiments, each of the sub-modules 1301 in the aforementioned embodiments is disposed in the second sensible heat storage module 1312.

[0062] It is understandable that the temperature of the low-temperature, low-pressure steam separated by the steam separator 420 in the heavy oil extraction system is higher than the temperature of the steam after heat exchange in the waste heat utilization unit 30 in the first loop 111. Therefore, to ensure better utilization of this low-temperature, low-pressure steam, reference... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4In some embodiments, a seventh passage 115 connects the waste heat channel of the industrial system to the inlet of the compressor 120. That is, the low-temperature, low-pressure steam separated by the steam separator 420 in the heavy oil extraction system enters the compressor 120 through the seventh passage 115, in addition to entering the waste heat utilization unit 30. Together with the steam in the first loop 111, the steam is compressed by the compressor 120 to increase its temperature and pressure into high-temperature, high-pressure steam. Thus, by mixing the low-temperature, low-pressure steam separated by the steam separator 420 in the heavy oil extraction system with the steam after heat exchange in the waste heat utilization unit 30, the temperature of the steam entering the compressor 120 in the first loop 111 can be increased, thereby improving the compression efficiency of the compressor 120.

[0063] Furthermore, see also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 An eighth passage 116 connects the outlet of compressor 130 to the industrial system. It should be understood that the eighth passage 116 can be directly connected to the outlet of compressor 120 or directly connected to the first circuit 111. That is, the high-temperature, high-pressure steam formed by compressor 120 can partially enter the heavy oil extraction system through the eighth passage 116 for heavy oil extraction, thereby reducing the processing capacity of processing station 430, water treatment system 440, and boiler system 450 in the heavy oil extraction system.

[0064] refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the turbine generator 220 is provided with at least two stages, and the turbine generators 220 of different stages are driven to generate electricity by working fluids with different parameters. For example, the turbine generator 220 can be provided with two stages or three stages. In this way, after the working fluid is heated by the energy storage module 130, it can first enter the first stage turbine generator 220 to generate electricity. After the first stage of power generation, the temperature and other parameters of the working fluid are reduced, so it can enter the next stage turbine generator 220 to generate electricity, thereby avoiding the waste of residual heat energy in the working fluid.

[0065] Furthermore, based on the aforementioned embodiment, an interstage heat exchanger 230 is provided between two adjacent turbine generators 220 and on the second circuit 211; different interstage heat exchangers 230 are connected to energy storage modules 130 of different quality ranges through the sixth circuit 212.

[0066] The following describes this embodiment in detail with different implementation methods.

[0067] In some embodiments, the turbine generator 220 has two stages, with an interstage heat exchanger 230 positioned between the two stages. An energy storage module 130 is typically provided. One side of the interstage heat exchanger 230 is connected to the energy storage module 130 via a sixth loop 212, while the other side is connected to a second loop 211. The working fluid, heated by the energy release module, flows along the sixth loop 212 to the interstage heat exchanger 230, where it exchanges heat with the working fluid in the second loop 211. This improves the temperature, pressure, and other parameters of the working fluid in the second loop 211 after one power generation cycle, making it more suitable for the power generation conditions of the next-stage turbine generator 220.

[0068] refer to Figure 3 In other embodiments, the turbine generator 220 is configured with three stages, with interstage heat exchangers 230 positioned between adjacent turbine generator stages 220. Multiple energy storage modules 130 are configured (i.e., sensible heat energy storage modules 131 and / or latent heat energy storage modules 132 of different grades as described in the preceding embodiments). One side of each interstage heat exchanger 230 is connected to a different energy storage module 130 via a sixth loop 212, while the other side of each interstage heat exchanger 230 is connected to a second loop 211. The operating principle in this embodiment is the same as in the previous embodiment and will not be repeated here. However, unlike the previous embodiment, by configuring multiple interstage heat exchangers 230 and multiple turbine generators 220, the thermal energy stored in each energy storage module 130 can be fully utilized to heat the working fluid in the second loop 211, thereby enabling more thermal energy to be used for power generation and improving power generation efficiency.

[0069] It should be understood that more interstage heat exchangers 230 can be set. The specific setting method can be matched according to the number of energy storage modules 130 of different quality ranges. Similarly, the number of turbine generators 220 is also adjusted accordingly.

[0070] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, a pump device 240 is provided in the second loop 211, located between the last-stage turbine generator 220 and the energy storage module 130. For example, in embodiments where a first sensible heat energy storage module 1311, a second sensible heat energy storage module 1312, and a latent heat energy storage module 132 are provided, and in embodiments where the turbine generator 220 has three stages, the pump device 240 is provided between the last-stage turbine generator 220 and the second sensible heat energy storage module 1312. By providing the pump device 240, the pressure of the working fluid in the second loop 211 can be increased to a certain extent before entering the second sensible heat energy storage module 1312, thereby increasing the circulation speed of the working fluid in the second loop 211 and improving the power generation efficiency of the energy release unit 20.

[0071] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, an auxiliary fuel system 250 is provided in the second loop 211, located between the energy storage module 130 and the first-stage turbine generator 220. The auxiliary fuel system 250 is used to heat the working fluid in the second loop 211. For example, in the aforementioned embodiments where a first sensible heat energy storage module 1311, a second sensible heat energy storage module 1312, and a latent heat energy storage module 132 are provided, and in embodiments where the turbine generator 220 has three stages, the auxiliary fuel system 250 is located between the first sensible heat energy storage module 1311 and the first-stage turbine generator 220. It is understood that the auxiliary fuel system 250 can be a boiler system used to heat the working fluid (i.e., steam) in the second loop 211 before it enters the turbine generator 220, thereby increasing the steam temperature so that each turbine generator 220 can operate in its high-efficiency range.

[0072] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
