TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of energy storage and thermal power generation, in particular to a method for operating a liquid air energy storage system coupled with a thermal power unit. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, the proportion of new energy such as wind power and photovoltaic in China's energy structure has rapidly increased, and by 2025, the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption will reach about 20%. Due to the intermittent nature of new energy power generation, in order to ensure the safe grid connection of new energy and improve the comprehensive regulation capacity of the power system, the state has greatly increased the requirements for the number of times and quality of coal-fired units participating in peak shaving. As an important flexible peak shaving power source, thermal power units have changed from power guaranteeing in the past to power and quantity guaranteeing. One of the main tasks at present is to implement flexible modification of the largest proportion of existing installed thermal power units to improve the deep peak shaving capacity and operational flexibility of the units.

[0003] Configuring energy storage is one of the important means to improve the flexibility of thermal power units. Liquid air energy storage is a long-term energy storage technology with flexible thermal and electrical output characteristics during operation, and there is no geographical condition restriction for site selection, which perfectly fits the current "three modification linkage" of thermal power units and is one of the optimal choices for thermal power plants to configure energy storage. At present, most of the research on the coupling of thermal power units and liquid air energy storage or compressed air energy storage technology is through the use of high-pressure steam of thermal power units to drive compressors. However, from the actual operation of thermal power units, the implementation of this technology inevitably requires modification of high-temperature and high-pressure steam pipelines (main steam pipeline, reheat steam pipeline, high-pressure cylinder exhaust pipeline, and feedwater pipeline) of thermal power units, which involves a wide range of unit modification and is difficult to implement. In addition, there is little research on the operation method of the coupling of thermal power units and liquid air energy storage technology, which limits the coupling application of liquid air energy storage technology and thermal power units.

[0046] The industrial steam high-temperature heat storage module is designed based on the continuous operation and water injection temperature reduction operation characteristics of industrial steam, and is used for storing high-quality sensible heat in industrial extraction steam of a thermal power generation system and generating power by using the high-quality sensible heat in a liquid air expansion power generation system. Specifically, the industrial steam high-temperature heat storage module includes a steam-molten salt heat exchanger 30, and the steam inlet and the steam outlet of the steam-molten salt heat exchanger 30 are correspondingly provided with a steam-molten salt heat exchanger inlet valve 29 and a steam-molten salt heat exchanger outlet valve 31, and the steam-molten salt heat exchanger 30, the steam-molten salt heat exchanger inlet valve 29 and the steam-molten salt heat exchanger outlet valve 31 are connected in parallel with a water injection temperature reducer 32 in the thermal power generation system, and in the operation process, the reheated extraction steam is cooled to the required temperature of the user by the steam-molten salt heat exchanger 30 and then supplied to the user.

[0047] The molten salt inlet of the steam-molten salt heat exchanger 30 is connected to a low-temperature molten salt tank 24. A thermal storage molten salt pump 25 is installed between the low-temperature molten salt tank 24 and the steam-molten salt heat exchanger 30. Specifically, the inlet of the thermal storage molten salt pump 25 is connected to the bottom of the low-temperature molten salt tank 24, and the outlet of the thermal storage molten salt pump 25 is connected to the molten salt inlet of the steam-molten salt heat exchanger 30. The thermal storage molten salt pump 25 is used to pump the low-temperature molten salt in the low-temperature molten salt tank 24 into the steam-molten salt heat exchanger 30. The molten salt outlet of the steam-molten salt heat exchanger 30 is connected to a high-temperature molten salt tank 21, and a molten salt heat storage bypass valve 26 is provided to adjust the temperature and flow rate of the molten salt entering the high-temperature molten salt tank 21. At the same time, the bottom outlet of the high-temperature molten salt tank 21 is connected to an exothermic molten salt pump 22, specifically connected to the inlet of the exothermic molten salt pump 22. The outlet of the exothermic molten salt pump 22 is connected via a pipeline to the molten salt inlets of the air-molten salt heater 19 and the air-molten salt reheater 20, respectively. The molten salt outlets of the air-molten salt heater 19 and the air-molten salt reheater 20 are both connected to the top inlet of the low-temperature molten salt tank 24. The exothermic molten salt pump 22 is used to pump the high-temperature molten salt in the high-temperature molten salt tank 21 into the air-molten salt heater 19 and the air-molten salt reheater 20, thereby enabling the high-temperature molten salt in the high-temperature molten salt tank 21 to heat the air through the air-molten salt heater 19 and the air-molten salt reheater 20 during the liquid air expansion power generation process before entering the low-temperature molten salt tank 24. At the same time, a molten salt exothermic bypass valve 23 is set to adjust the temperature and flow rate of the molten salt entering the low-temperature molten salt tank 24.

[0048] Corresponding thermal storage process operation mode:

[0049] The inlet valve 29 and outlet valve 31 of the steam-molten salt heat exchanger 30 are opened. At the same time, molten salt from the low-temperature molten salt tank 24 enters the steam-molten salt heat exchanger 30 via the thermal storage molten salt pump 25 to exchange heat with industrial extraction steam. The molten salt absorbs part of the sensible heat of the industrial extraction steam. After the industrial extraction steam meets the heat user's needs, it is supplied to the heat user. After the temperature of the molten salt rises, it enters the high-temperature molten salt tank 21 for storage. It should be noted that the molten salt flow rate during the thermal storage process is determined by the demand of the industrial steam user. The continuous operation of the thermal storage process does not conflict with the heat release process. It operates according to the user's needs. When the stored heat meets the heat required by the liquid air expansion and power generation system, the operation stops, the inlet valve 29 and outlet valve 31 of the steam-molten salt heat exchanger are closed, and the industrial steam supply switches to the original water spray desuperheating mode.

[0050] The corresponding high-temperature exothermic cycle is:

[0051] The high-temperature exothermic cycle corresponds to the liquid air expansion power generation process. The high-temperature molten salt from the high-temperature molten salt tank 21 enters the air-molten salt heater 19 and the air-molten salt reheater 20 after passing through the exothermic molten salt pump 22. After heating the air to the set temperature, it returns to the low-temperature molten salt tank 24, completing one exothermic cycle.
