Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy storage technology, and more particularly to the field of steam extraction and electrically heated molten salt energy storage technology. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, steam extraction molten salt energy storage has become a new type of energy storage method. With its flexible system configuration, it can meet the peak shaving and frequency regulation functions of generating units and power grids, and has been vigorously developed and researched.
[0003] There are many technical routes for steam extraction molten salt energy storage, which can be broadly divided into two categories. The first category involves main steam extraction condensing into water after passing through a molten salt heat exchanger. This water is then pumped back to the original high-pressure feedwater pipeline via a pressure boosting ratio. Reheat hot-section extraction steam is cooled by a molten salt heat exchanger, then pressurized by a steam compressor or ejected from the main steam via a pressure matching device, and finally discharged to the reheat cold-section pipeline. The second category involves main steam extraction being cooled to cold-section parameters by a molten salt heat exchanger before entering the cold-section pipeline. Reheat hot-section extraction steam is cooled to intermediate-pressure cylinder exhaust parameters by a molten salt heat exchanger before entering the low-pressure cylinder to perform work.
[0004] The first type of scheme maximizes the utilization of the latent and sensible heat of steam during thermal storage, resulting in a high peak-shaving capacity. However, its drawbacks include the high manufacturing difficulty and cost of the steam compressor, leading to poor economic efficiency. Furthermore, the pressure matching device exhibits poor reliability under operating conditions deviating from design specifications, making it difficult to meet steam quantity requirements. The second type of scheme is simpler and more reliable, but its latent heat cannot be utilized due to the limitation imposed by the molten salt freezing point temperature, resulting in a relatively poor peak-shaving capacity. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this invention provides a molten salt thermal energy storage method for energy cascade utilization. By utilizing the combined effects of molten salt storage tanks, water storage tanks, and electric heating, it achieves the purpose of high-efficiency energy storage, meets the peak shaving and frequency regulation requirements of different unit modes, and has good economic benefits.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0007] A molten salt thermal energy storage method for energy cascade utilization, which involves operating a thermal energy storage system in conjunction with different grid peak-shaving demands, and gradually activating the reheat section to the thermal energy storage system, the main steam to the thermal energy storage system, and the electric heater as the peak-shaving demand increases;
[0008] Including the following thermal storage operation modes:
[0009] S1. During the thermal storage period, when the power grid requires a lower peak shaving volume, the high-temperature steam pipeline valve from the reheat section to the second molten salt heater is opened, and the steam pipeline valve from the main steam to the first molten salt heater and the electric heater are closed. The second molten salt heater heats the molten salt from the cold salt tank and returns it to the hot salt tank. The high-temperature steam in the hot section becomes lower-temperature steam after passing through the second molten salt heater and enters the steam-water heat exchanger to heat the cold water from the cold water tank before returning it to the hot water tank. The low-temperature steam becomes high-temperature hot water after passing through the steam-water heat exchanger and is discharged to the deaerator.
[0010] S2. During the thermal storage period, as the power grid's demand for peak-shaving capacity increases, the high-temperature steam valves from the main steam to the first molten salt heater and from the reheat hot section to the second molten salt heater are opened simultaneously, while the electric heater is closed. After passing through the first molten salt heater, the main steam's parameters are reduced before it enters the reheat cold section steam pipeline. After passing through the second molten salt heater and the steam-water heat exchanger, the reheat hot section steam becomes high-temperature hot water and is discharged to the deaerator. Molten salt from the cold salt tank is discharged to the hot salt tank after passing through the first and second molten salt heaters, and cold water from the cold water tank is discharged to the hot water tank after passing through the steam-water heat exchanger.
[0011] S3. During the thermal storage period, as the grid further improves its peak-shaving capacity, the high-temperature steam valves from the main steam to the first molten salt heater, the reheat hot section to the second molten salt heater, and the electric heater are opened simultaneously. At this time, the unit's peak-shaving capacity reaches its maximum. After passing through the first molten salt heater, the main steam's parameters are reduced before it enters the reheat cold section steam pipeline. After passing through the second molten salt heater and the steam-water heat exchanger, the reheat hot section steam becomes high-temperature hot water and is discharged to the deaerator. Part of the molten salt from the cold salt tank is discharged to the hot salt tank after passing through the first and second molten salt heaters, and another part of the molten salt is heated by the electric heater and discharged to the hot salt tank. The cold water from the cold water tank is discharged to the hot water tank after passing through the steam-water heat exchanger.
[0012] S4. During the heat release period, the power grid makes demands on the unit's peak load. After the condensate pump is opened, the condensate pipeline valve to the preheater is opened. The low-temperature condensate absorbs heat from the water circulation loop in the preheater and its temperature rises. Due to the difference in the ratio of latent heat and sensible heat under different operating modes, the condensate is divided into two paths after the preheater. One path goes to the deaerator, and the other path absorbs heat from the molten salt circulation loop through the evaporator and superheater and becomes steam. After mixing with the high-temperature reheat steam, it enters the intermediate pressure cylinder of the turbine to do work.
[0013] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: the heat storage system includes a first molten salt heater, a second molten salt heater, a steam-water heat exchanger and an electric heater in the heat storage circuit; a preheater, an evaporator and a superheater in the heat release circuit; a cold salt tank and a hot salt tank in the molten salt circulation circuit; and a cold water tank and a hot water tank in the water circulation circuit.

The hot water outlet of the preheater is divided into two paths: one path is connected to the deaerator through the hot water pipe F3, and the other path is connected to the hot water inlet of the evaporator through the hot water pipe F3. The steam outlet of the evaporator is connected to the steam inlet of the superheater through the steam pipe F0. The steam outlet of the superheater is mixed with the high-temperature reheat steam of the original reheat section through the high-temperature steam pipe F1 and then enters the intermediate pressure cylinder of the turbine to do work.
[0016] The outlet of the cold salt tank in the molten salt circulation loop is connected to the molten salt inlets of the first molten salt heater, the second molten salt heater, and the electric heater via a cold molten salt pipe F6. The molten salt outlets of the first molten salt heater, the second molten salt heater, and the electric heater are connected to the inlets of the hot salt tank. The outlet of the hot salt tank is connected to the molten salt inlet of the superheater via a molten salt pipe F7.

The outlet of the hot water tank is connected to the hot water inlet of the preheater via hot water pipe F3. The cold water outlet of the preheater is connected to the inlet of the cold water tank via cold water pipe F4.
[0018] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that a cold salt pump is installed on the outlet pipe of the cold salt tank; and a hot salt pump is installed on the outlet pipe of the hot salt tank.
[0019] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that a cold water delivery pump is installed on the outlet pipe of the cold water tank; and a hot water delivery pump is installed on the outlet pipe of the hot water tank.
[0020] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that valves are provided on the steam pipe F0, high-temperature steam pipe F1, low-temperature steam pipe F2, hot water pipe F3, cold water pipe F4, hot molten salt pipe F5, cold molten salt pipe F6 and molten salt pipe F7.
[0021] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: the valve from the preheater to the deaerator in mode S4 is interlocked with the valves in modes S1 to S3. According to different thermal storage operation modes, the valve opening from the preheater to the deaerator is adjusted to ensure that the flow rate to the deaerator and the flow rate to the evaporator are in a certain ratio, so as to control the parameter requirements of steam production and ensure the steam parameter requirements of the turbine.

[0037] S2.

After passing through the first molten salt heater 1, the main steam's parameters are reduced, and it enters the reheat cold section steam pipeline. After passing through the second molten salt heater 2 and the steam-water heat exchanger 3, the reheat hot section steam becomes high-temperature hot water and is discharged to the deaerator 17.
