[0001] This invention relates to the field of new energy utilization and energy conservation technology, specifically a multi-energy cogeneration system. Background Technology
[0002] Sludge is a resource. Converting the organic matter in sludge into clean energy can achieve a win-win situation of sludge reduction and clean energy acquisition. Proper treatment of sludge can turn waste into treasure, enabling resource utilization and achieving sustainable environmental and economic development. Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) technology can recover energy from waste biomass and stabilize heavy metals. Utilizing the unique physicochemical properties of supercritical water, it can achieve efficient sludge gasification. Currently, the practical application of supercritical water gasification technology is still limited by funding and technology, and its commercialization faces significant challenges. SCWG has a very low conversion efficiency, with a net electrochemical efficiency of only 29% to 40%. To improve reaction efficiency, a relatively successful alternative is combined heat and power (CHP) technology. CHP technology can be used as a means to improve energy utilization and is currently a clearly encouraged and promoted approach.

[0050] The geothermal water pump 26 supplies hot water from the hot water storage tank 27 to the heat user 47.
[0051] The operating steps of a multi-energy combined heat and power system and method are as follows:
[0052] Sludge supercritical water gasification reaction: Before startup, there is no flow at any inlet or outlet. First, turn on water pump 1 and sludge booster pump 2. Water and sludge enter mixer 33. In mixer 33, water and sludge are mixed to form reactants. The reactants flow through primary heat exchanger 3, secondary heat exchanger 6, and tertiary heat exchanger 13 respectively, and then enter reactant flow channel 36. The reactants enter supercritical water gasification reaction chamber 37 through reactant nozzle 38, and the sludge supercritical water gasification reaction begins.
[0053] Supercritical water oxidation reaction: The mixture preheated in the solar collector 19 flows into the material flow channel 41, passes through the multi-stage nozzle 43 and enters the supercritical water oxidation reaction chamber 42; high-pressure oxygen from the second oxygen booster pump 32 enters the supercritical water oxidation reaction chamber 42 through the oxygen nozzle 44, and the mixture and oxygen complete the supercritical water oxidation reaction in the supercritical water oxidation reaction chamber 42.

The mixed gas, mainly methane, begins to burn with oxygen in the combustion chamber of the gas turbine 18.
[0055] Workflow:
[0056] After being purified in the second purification separator 30, the underground hot water enters the flash evaporator 34, where it is flashed into steam. The steam drives the turbine blades of the third steam turbine 31 to rotate at high speed, converting the thermal energy of the steam into the kinetic energy of the turbine blades, which in turn drives the main shaft of the steam turbine to rotate, thereby driving the fourth generator set 16 to generate electricity, which is then supplied to the power users 25.
[0057] The underground hot water flows through the first purification separator 29 and enters the hot water storage tank 27. The hot water in the storage tank is then supplied to the heat users 47 via the geothermal water pump 26.
[0058] Sludge and water are pressurized by sludge booster pump 2 and water pump 1 respectively and enter mixer 33. In mixer 33, sludge and water form reactants. The reactants flow through primary heat exchanger 3 and exchange heat with the exhaust steam from the outlet of third steam turbine 31 to increase their temperature. After the first heating, the reactants flow into secondary heat exchanger 6 and exchange heat with the exhaust steam from first steam turbine 4 to increase their temperature a second time. The reactants flow out of secondary heat exchanger 6 and enter tertiary heat exchanger 13, where they exchange heat with the exhaust steam from second steam turbine 12 to increase their temperature a third time. After that, they flow into supercritical water gasification reactor 11.
[0059] The reactants undergo supercritical water gasification reaction in the supercritical water gasification reactor 11, and the residue is discharged from the bottom of the supercritical water gasification reactor 11 under gravity. The high-temperature and high-pressure steam generated by the supercritical water gasification reaction of the sludge enters the second steam turbine 12. The steam drives the turbine blades of the second steam turbine 12 to rotate at high speed and do work, converting the thermal energy of the steam into the kinetic energy of the turbine blades, which drives the main shaft of the steam turbine to rotate, thereby driving the first generator set 24 to operate and generate electricity, which is supplied to the power user 25. The exhaust steam from the outlet of the second steam turbine 12 flows through the third-stage heat exchanger 13. The gas flowing out of the third-stage heat exchanger 13 is separated in the second hydrogen separation device 14, and H2 is sent to the hydrogen compressor 35 for compression. The hydrogen is compressed into liquid hydrogen and stored in the liquid hydrogen storage tank 15. Then the hydrogen provides electricity to the power user 25 through the hydrogen fuel cell 23.
[0060] After the second hydrogen separation device 14 separates hydrogen, the remaining mixture enters the solar collector 19, where it absorbs solar radiation heat reflected by the heliostat 20 and is heated. The heated mixture then enters the supercritical water oxidation reactor 5.
[0061] Solar panel 21 absorbs sunlight and converts light energy into electrical energy (direct current) through the photovoltaic effect. Inverter 22 converts direct current into alternating current to supply electricity user 25.
[0062] Oxygen storage tank 28 is connected to second oxygen compressor 32. Second oxygen compressor 32 pressurizes oxygen. Oxygen is injected into supercritical water oxidation reactor 5 through oxygen nozzle 44. In supercritical water oxidation reactor 5, the mixture from solar collector 19 and oxygen complete supercritical water oxidation reaction. The high temperature and high pressure steam generated by supercritical water oxidation reaction flows through first steam turbine 4. Steam drives the turbine blades of first steam turbine 4 to rotate at high speed and do work, converting the thermal energy of steam into the kinetic energy of turbine blades, driving the main shaft of steam turbine to rotate, thereby driving second generator set 45 to operate and generate electricity, which is supplied to power user 25.
[0063] The exhaust steam from the outlet of the first steam turbine 4 flows through the secondary heat exchanger 6. After exchanging heat with the reactants, the exhaust steam enters the condenser 7 and is condensed. The mixture at the outlet of the condenser 7 is separated in the gas-liquid separator 8. Water flows out from the bottom of the gas-liquid separator 8, and the remaining gas flows through the first hydrogen separator 9. In the first hydrogen separator 9, hydrogen is separated, and the separated hydrogen enters the hydrogen compressor 35 and is compressed into liquid hydrogen. The liquid hydrogen enters the liquid hydrogen storage tank 15, and the remaining mixed gas enters the carbon dioxide separator 10. The carbon dioxide separator 10 separates carbon dioxide, which can be captured and sealed underground for use in fracturing oilfields. The remaining gas, mainly methane, enters the combustion chamber of the gas turbine 18, where the mixed gas is burned with oxygen supplied under pressure by the first oxygen compressor 17. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas generated by combustion drives the turbine blades to rotate at high speed, thereby driving the third generator set 46 to generate electricity to supply the power users 25.

The supercritical water gasification reactor completes the supercritical water gasification reaction of sludge. The products of the supercritical water gasification reaction flow through a second steam turbine. The steam drives the turbine blades of the second steam turbine to rotate at high speed, converting the thermal energy of the steam into the kinetic energy of the turbine blades, which drives the main shaft of the steam turbine to rotate, thereby driving the first generator set to generate electricity. A second hydrogen separation unit separates the hydrogen from the supercritical water gasification products. A hydrogen compressor compresses the hydrogen into liquid hydrogen, which then enters the liquid hydrogen storage tank and is supplied to a hydrogen fuel cell for power generation. The solar thermal collector absorbs solar heat to heat the supercritical water gasification reaction products, excluding hydrogen. The solar panels absorb sunlight to generate electricity. In the supercritical water oxidation reactor, the mixture from the solar collector reacts with oxygen to complete the supercritical water oxidation reaction. The high-temperature and high-pressure steam generated by oxidation flows through the first steam turbine. The steam drives the turbine blades of the first steam turbine to rotate at high speed and do work, converting the thermal energy of the steam into the kinetic energy of the turbine blades, which drives the main shaft of the steam turbine to rotate, thereby driving the second generator set to operate and generate electricity. The exhaust steam from the outlet of the first steam turbine flows through the second-stage heat exchanger and then enters the condenser to be condensed. The condensed mixture is separated in multiple stages to separate water, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and a mixed gas mainly composed of methane. Hydrogen is compressed into liquid hydrogen and stored in liquid hydrogen tanks, which are then used to generate electricity from hydrogen fuel cells. Carbon dioxide is captured and sealed underground for use in fracturing oil fields. A mixture of gases, mainly methane, enters the combustion chamber of a gas turbine and is fully combusted with oxygen to generate high-temperature, high-pressure gas. This high-temperature gas drives the turbine blades to rotate at high speed to generate electricity. Geothermal energy is fully utilized. Part of it passes through a second purification separator and enters a flash evaporator, where water is flashed into steam. The steam enters a third steam turbine, which drives the turbine blades to rotate at high speed, converting the thermal energy of the steam into the kinetic energy of the turbine blades. This converts the steam turbine's main shaft to rotate, thereby driving a fourth generator set to generate electricity. The exhaust steam from the third steam turbine flows through a first-stage heat exchanger to preheat the reactants. Part of the hot water passes through a first purification separator and enters a hot water storage tank. A geothermal water pump supplies the hot water to heat users.
[0065] Furthermore, the reactants are preheated in multiple stages by passing through a primary heat exchanger, a secondary heat exchanger, and a tertiary heat exchanger before entering the supercritical water gasification reactor.
[0066] Furthermore, the high-temperature and high-pressure steam generated by the supercritical water gasification reactor flows through the second steam turbine. The steam drives the turbine blades of the second steam turbine to rotate at high speed and do work, converting the thermal energy of the steam into the kinetic energy of the turbine blades, which drives the main shaft of the steam turbine to rotate, thereby driving the first generator set to generate electricity to supply power users.
[0067] Furthermore, the second hydrogen separation device separates hydrogen, which enters the hydrogen compressor and is compressed into liquid hydrogen, which then enters the liquid hydrogen storage tank. The hydrogen is then used to generate electricity through hydrogen fuel cells to supply power to users.
[0068] Furthermore, the other mixtures from which hydrogen has been separated enter a solar collector, which absorbs solar energy to heat the mixture. The heated mixture then enters a supercritical water oxidation reactor.
[0069] Furthermore, the solar panels absorb solar energy to generate direct current (DC), which is then converted into alternating current (AC) by an inverter to supply electricity to users.
[0070] Furthermore, the mixture undergoes a supercritical water oxidation reaction with oxygen in a supercritical water oxidation reactor, where the mixture is partially oxidized by oxygen.
[0071] Furthermore, the high-temperature, high-pressure steam generated by the supercritical water oxidation reaction flows through the first steam turbine. The steam drives the turbine blades of the first steam turbine to rotate at high speed and do work, converting the thermal energy of the steam into the kinetic energy of the turbine blades, which in turn drives the main shaft of the steam turbine to rotate, thereby driving the second generator set to generate electricity to supply power users.
[0072] Furthermore, the exhaust steam from the outlet of the first steam turbine flows through the second-stage heat exchanger, where the waste heat is used to heat the reactants before entering the condenser to be condensed.
[0073] Furthermore, the condensed mixture is separated into water and gas in a gas-liquid separator.
[0074] Furthermore, the gas undergoes multi-stage separation. Hydrogen is separated and sent to a hydrogen compressor. The compressed hydrogen becomes liquid hydrogen and enters a liquid hydrogen storage tank. The hydrogen is used to generate electricity for users through hydrogen fuel cells. Carbon dioxide is captured and sealed underground for use in fracturing oil fields. A mixture of gases, mainly methane, enters the combustion chamber of a gas turbine and reacts with oxygen.

[0075] Furthermore, after passing through the second purification separator, the high-temperature water enters the flash evaporator, where it is converted into steam. The steam then flows through the third steam turbine, which drives the turbine blades to rotate at high speed, converting the thermal energy of the steam into the kinetic energy of the turbine blades. This drives the main shaft of the steam turbine to rotate, thereby driving the fourth generator set to generate electricity for power users. The exhaust steam from the outlet of the third steam turbine flows through the first-stage heat exchanger to heat the reaction materials.

The reactants are preheated by flowing through a primary heat exchanger, a secondary heat exchanger, and a tertiary heat exchanger before entering the reactant flow channel. The reactants complete the supercritical water gasification reaction in the supercritical water gasification reactor.
[0078] Supercritical water oxidation reaction: The mixture preheated by the solar collector enters the material flow channel of the supercritical water oxidation reactor. The mixture enters the reaction chamber of the supercritical water oxidation reactor through multi-stage material nozzles. Oxygen enters the reaction chamber of the supercritical water oxidation reactor through an oxygen booster pump. In the reaction chamber of the supercritical water oxidation reactor, oxygen and the mixture complete the supercritical water oxidation reaction.
[0079] Methane combustion reaction: The products of the supercritical water oxidation reaction flow through the first steam turbine and enter the condenser. After being condensed in the condenser, the products are separated in multiple stages to separate water, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and other mixed gases, mainly methane. The mixed gas, mainly methane, enters the combustion chamber of the gas turbine. At the same time, oxygen enters the combustion chamber through the first oxygen compressor.
