Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power plant pulverized coal boiler power generation technology, and specifically relates to a system and method for deep peak shaving of a power plant coal-fired boiler coupled with aluminum fuel energy storage. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the installed capacity of new energy power generation such as photovoltaic and wind power has increased significantly, offering advantages such as environmental protection and reduced fossil fuel consumption. However, during peak electricity demand periods, new energy power generation suffers from insufficient load due to environmental impacts, while during off-peak periods, there is often excess power generation with nowhere to be utilized. Currently, thermal power still accounts for over 60% of total electricity generation, indicating that it will remain the primary form of power generation for a considerable period. As the installed capacity of new energy power generation increases year by year, the development of deep peak-shaving technology for coal-fired power plant boilers and reliable energy storage technology is necessary to better support new energy power generation.

[0003] Common energy storage methods today include compressed air energy storage, hydroelectric energy storage, and flywheel energy storage. However, these methods suffer from problems such as long construction periods, large investments, and inconvenient transportation of stored energy.

[0004] Currently, the common technologies used for deep peak shaving in coal-fired power plant boilers are oil injection, natural gas injection, and plasma-assisted combustion. Oil and natural gas injection undoubtedly increase the consumption of oil and gas resources, while plasma-assisted combustion increases the thermal shock to the boiler furnace. Furthermore, the coal sources in modern coal-fired power plants are complex and of poor quality, with low volatile matter content in pulverized coal, making it difficult to achieve stable combustion at low loads in the furnace. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a system and method for deep peak shaving of coal-fired boilers in power plants using aluminum fuel energy storage.

[0006] This invention is achieved using the following technical solution:

[0007] A system for deep peak shaving of a coal-fired boiler coupled with aluminum fuel energy storage in a power plant includes an alumina electrolytic cell, a condenser, an aluminum particle storage tank, a gas mixer, an aluminum powder storage tank, an aluminum-water generator, a hydrogen-water vapor separator, a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, a water storage tank, a first hydrogen nozzle, a pulverized coal primary air nozzle, a second hydrogen nozzle, a pulverized coal reburning zone nozzle, a burnout air nozzle, an economizer, and a boiler body, as well as an ignition zone, a reburning zone, and a burnout zone arranged from bottom to top on the boiler body;

[0009] The alumina electrolytic cell uses renewable energy to electrolyze alumina into aluminum fuel and oxygen. The aluminum fuel is crushed in an aluminum particle storage tank and then enters an aluminum powder storage tank. In the aluminum-water generator, the aluminum powder fuel reacts chemically with the steam extracted from the turbine to produce a hydrogen-water vapor mixture and alumina. The hydrogen-water vapor mixture is separated in a hydrogen-water vapor separator. The hydrogen is used as a combustion-supporting fuel in the boiler ignition zone to support the combustion of pulverized coal fuel through the first and second hydrogen nozzles. The water vapor passes through the first and second heat exchangers in sequence to become liquid water and is collected in a water storage tank.

[0010] The aluminum-water generator uses the high-temperature flue gas at the furnace outlet to provide the heat required for the chemical reaction, and then introduces it into the vertical flue at the tail of the boiler.

[0011] A portion of the oxygen generated by the electrolysis of the alumina electrolytic cell is used to prepare oxygen-enriched burnout air through a condenser and a gas mixer, and then sent into the burnout air nozzle.

[0012] Pulverized coal fuel is fed into the boiler recombustion zone through the pulverized coal recombustion zone nozzle as recombustion fuel.

[0013] A further improvement of the present invention is that it also includes a flue gas dust collector, a fan, and a chimney, with the tail flue gas being discharged after passing through the flue gas dust collector, the fan, and the chimney respectively.

[0014] A further improvement of the present invention is that the alumina electrolytic cell uses new energy power generation to electrolyze alumina into aluminum fuel and oxygen.

[0015] A further improvement of this invention is that when the load of new energy power generation is insufficient, both new energy power generation and coal-fired power generation in the power plant are supplied by the power grid.

[0016] A further improvement of this invention is that when the load of new energy power generation is excessive, the coal-fired boiler of the power plant is kept in a low-load stable combustion state.

[0017] A further improvement of the present invention is that the primary air nozzle of pulverized coal is arranged between two hydrogen nozzles, so that hydrogen combustion can better assist the combustion of pulverized coal fuel.

[0018] A further improvement of the present invention is that another portion of the oxygen generated by the electrolysis of the alumina electrolytic cell is collected as a chemical product.

[0019] A further improvement of the present invention is that the water vapor separated in the hydrogen-water vapor separator carries a large amount of heat energy and is used to preheat the oxygen-enriched burnout air and the boiler feedwater at the economizer outlet in the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger, respectively.

[0020] A method for deep peak shaving of a coal-fired boiler in a power plant coupled with aluminum fuel energy storage includes:

[0021] When the load of new energy power generation is insufficient, both new energy power generation and coal-fired power generation in power plants are supplied by the grid.

[0022] When there is an overcapacity in new energy power generation, it is necessary to maintain the coal-fired boilers of the power plant in a low-load stable combustion state.

[0023] The surplus renewable energy generated is used to electrolyze alumina in an alumina electrolysis cell to produce aluminum fuel and oxygen. The aluminum fuel is first stored in an aluminum particle storage tank. When it is necessary to produce hydrogen through the aluminum-water reaction, the aluminum particles are processed into aluminum powder through crushing and other processes and then enter the aluminum powder storage tank. As for the oxygen produced by electrolyzing alumina, part of it is mixed with air to produce oxygen-enriched burnout air, while the remainder is collected as a chemical product.

[0024] The water collected in the condenser is stored in a water tank;

[0025] Aluminum powder and steam extracted from the turbine undergo a chemical reaction in an aluminum-water generator to produce hydrogen. The high-temperature flue gas at the furnace outlet provides the heat required for the reaction. The high-temperature flue gas after heat exchange returns to the vertical flue of the boiler, increasing the flue gas temperature before the SCR inlet. The mixture of hydrogen and water vapor at the outlet of the aluminum-water generator is first separated by a hydrogen-water vapor separator. The hydrogen is sent to the boiler ignition zone through the first and second hydrogen nozzles to assist in the combustion of pulverized coal fuel, while the water vapor is used to preheat the oxygen-enriched burnout air and the boiler feedwater at the economizer outlet through the first and second heat exchangers, and finally enters the water storage tank.

[0026] Pulverized coal fuel is fed into the boiler's recombustion zone through the pulverized coal recombustion zone nozzle, reducing NO during combustion through fuel recombustion. x Generation quantity; oxygen-enriched burnout air is sent into the burnout zone of the boiler through the burnout air nozzle, and the combustion efficiency of the boiler is improved by both oxygen-enriched gas and preheating.

[0027] A further improvement of the present invention is that it also includes: the flue gas at the tail end of the boiler is discharged into the air after passing through a flue gas dust collector, a fan and a chimney respectively.

[0028] The present invention has at least the following beneficial technical effects:

Furthermore, the coal sources in modern coal-fired power plants are complex and of poor quality, with low volatile matter content in the pulverized coal, making it difficult to achieve stable combustion at low loads in the furnace. Hydrogen, however, can effectively aid the combustion of low-quality coal, thus enabling deep peak shaving of coal-fired power plant boilers.

[0030] This invention provides a method for deep peak shaving of a coal-fired boiler in a power plant using aluminum fuel energy storage. Aluminum fuel, as a metallic fuel, has the advantages of wide distribution in the Earth's crust, relatively stable chemical properties, and safe and convenient storage and transportation. Metallic aluminum can react chemically with CO2, air, and water. The reaction between aluminum and water can produce hydrogen on-site and release a large amount of heat. Hydrogen is a high-quality fuel, and this chemical reaction produces no carbon emissions. Therefore, metallic aluminum fuel can be used as a high-quality energy storage material.

[0031] In summary, this invention utilizes aluminum fuel, a high-quality energy storage material with abundant sources and convenient transportation. The reaction of aluminum fuel with water generates hydrogen and releases a large amount of heat. Hydrogen, as a high-quality gaseous fuel, can effectively aid the combustion of low-quality coal in the furnace, thereby achieving stable combustion at low loads in coal-fired power plant boilers. Furthermore, the coal-fired power plant can also provide heat and steam to the aluminum-water reactor; the deep coupling of the two can improve the efficiency of industrial production. This invention, by coupling a coal-fired power plant boiler and an aluminum fuel energy storage system, achieves an organic combination of new energy power generation and thermal power generation, stabilizing the power grid load, optimizing the energy structure, reducing carbon emissions, and improving the efficiency of industrial production.
