Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to cold storage technology for thermal circulation systems, specifically to a direct air-cooled peak cooling system with dual cold and heat storage. Background Technology

[0002] Direct air-cooled systems have rapidly developed in water-scarce regions of northern my country due to their advantages, such as not requiring intermediate cooling media like cooling water, fewer equipment, simpler systems, and smaller footprint. However, in direct air-cooled systems, the steam discharged from the low-pressure cylinder of the turbine needs to be condensed into water and then recycled back to the boiler. As the direct air-cooled system has been in use for a longer period, its air-cooled condenser has become heavily scaled, resulting in low cooling efficiency during high summer temperatures and increased back pressure during unit operation. This contradicts the energy-saving and low-carbon development approach pursued in thermal power generation. Installing a peak cooling system on the direct air-cooled system is a common method to reduce back pressure, but it overlooks the fact that the cooling efficiency of the peak cooling system is easily affected by environmental meteorological conditions. In recent years, cold and heat storage in thermal power generation cooling systems has become a hot topic. The starting point of this patent is to explore how to link cold and heat storage with direct air-cooled systems and peak cooling systems to ensure stable heat exchange efficiency, flexible energy storage utilization, and significant reduction in unit back pressure. Summary of the Invention

[0003] A dual-energy storage and thermal storage direct air-cooled peak cooling system includes a direct air-cooled energy storage system and a peak cooling energy storage system. The direct air-cooled energy storage system includes a direct air-cooling system, a cold storage condensate tank, a thermal storage condensate tank, and a direct air-cooled energy storage circulation unit. The peak cooling energy storage system includes a peak cooling system, a cold storage circulating water tank, a thermal storage circulating water tank, and a peak cooling energy storage circulation unit. The direct air-cooled energy storage system and the peak cooling energy storage system are connected through the peak cooling system. This dual-energy storage and thermal storage direct air-cooled peak cooling system can utilize the diurnal temperature range to store cold energy in both the direct air-cooled energy storage system and the peak cooling energy storage system when the ambient temperature is low, and release cold energy when the ambient temperature is high. Simultaneously, when the ambient temperature is high... The system utilizes both direct air-cooled energy storage and peak cooling energy storage systems to store heat. Heat is released when the ambient temperature is low. During energy storage and release, the peak cooling system maintains hydraulic balance, and the levels of energy storage and release are adjustable for flexible use, ensuring a relatively constant back pressure for the unit under varying ambient temperatures. During high-temperature periods, this not only reduces the amount of exhaust steam entering the direct air-cooled system and lowers its heat load, but also utilizes the low-temperature condensate stored overnight to directly reduce the steam temperature within the exhaust system, effectively improving cooling efficiency and unit vacuum during high-temperature periods. During low-temperature periods, the stored heat is placed in the condensate tank or condensate pipeline, increasing the condensate temperature, reducing its subcooling and oxygen content, and effectively reducing the heat absorption of the condensate return water, thereby improving unit efficiency.

The peak cooling tower cools the steam, and the condensate generated by cooling enters the cold storage condensate tank along the low-temperature condensate valve. After t hours (t>0), the exhaust valve is closed, the cold circulating water valve is opened, and the circulating water in the peak cooling tower undergoes self-cooling.

The water temperature T1 in the condensate tank is compared with the water temperature T2 in the condensate return pipeline. If T1 > T2, then high-temperature condensate valve two and return water valve one are opened, and high-temperature condensate valve one is closed. A portion of the condensate in the condensate tank is stored in the thermal storage condensate tank. The inlet flow rate of the thermal storage condensate tank is Q. a Q a If T1 > T2, the condensate cooled in the peak cooling tower is discharged through the condensate return pipe and return valve 1. If T1 < T2, high-temperature condensate valve 1 is opened, and high-temperature condensate valve 2 and return valve 1 are closed.
