Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of energy storage technology and power generation, and in particular relates to a natural gas power generation system and method combined with liquefied air energy storage. Background Art
[0002] As the cleanest and most efficient fossil fuel, natural gas is one of the important energy sources in the power generation industry. Natural gas can be efficiently converted into electricity through the use of gas turbines and combined cycles.
[0003] Since the volume of natural gas can be reduced by 600 times after liquefaction, natural gas is transported across long distances across the sea in the form of LNG. At coastal receiving stations, LNG needs to be reheated and gasified into normal temperature natural gas before being transported into the gas supply network. When liquid pure methane is gasified from the standard boiling point (111.65 K) to normal temperature and pressure gas, it can release about 830 kJ / kg of cold energy. By utilizing this part of cold energy, energy conservation and efficiency improvement of the natural gas industry chain can be achieved, bringing significant environmental and economic benefits.
[0004] In addition, with the widespread application of renewable energy, its inherent volatility and intermittency make it impossible to directly integrate it into the power grid, which in turn causes serious "wind abandonment" and "light abandonment" phenomena. In order to solve these problems, combining renewable energy generation with energy storage technology can effectively balance the supply and demand of electricity and improve the stability and efficiency of the power grid. Liquid air energy storage technology has become a feasible and promising option with its advantages such as clean and pollution-free, high energy storage density, and no geographical restrictions. For example, the Chinese patent document with publication number CN111648833A discloses a liquefied air energy storage system; the Chinese patent document with publication number CN113700628A discloses a multi-supply liquefied air energy storage system and an optimization control method.
[0005] At present, natural gas power generation technology faces the problems of insufficient utilization of low-temperature waste heat and still large greenhouse gas emissions during combustion, and the integration of LNG gasification cold energy in the power generation process has not yet achieved the best effect, limiting its wider application. Liquid air energy storage technology is subject to the defects of large compression power consumption during the charging process and insufficient power generation output during the discharge process, and the energy conversion efficiency needs to be further improved. More importantly, there is a lack of effective integration and complementarity between the two technologies, and they have failed to give full play to their respective advantages to maximize energy utilization and minimize emissions.

[0038] A natural gas power generation method combined with liquefied air energy storage, based on the above natural gas power generation system, includes a charging process during low power consumption and a discharging process during peak power consumption, as follows:
[0039] During the charging process when electricity consumption is low, air at normal temperature and pressure passes through the compression and liquefaction equipment group, and is compressed and liquefied into liquefied air with the energy provided by the LNG and propane cold storage cycle of the first branch and stored in the liquefied air storage tank. Subsequently, the LNG of the first branch provides energy to the regenerative Rankine cycle and is gasified into the first part of natural gas, which is all sent to the gas supply network. At this time, the circulating medium in the regenerative Rankine cycle does work in the expander and outputs electricity.
[0040] During the discharge process at peak power consumption, the liquefied air stored in the liquefied air storage tank passes through the expansion work equipment group, absorbs the energy of the flue gas, gasifies into high-pressure gaseous air, and performs work in the expander, outputs electricity, and is converted into air at normal pressure;

Then, the LNG in the second branch and the LNG in the third branch are combined through the mixer to provide energy to the regenerative Rankine cycle and gasify into the second part of natural gas and the third part of natural gas. At this time, the circulating medium in the regenerative Rankine cycle does work in the expander, outputs electricity, and the second part of natural gas enters the gas supply network.
[0042] The third part of natural gas enters the combustion chamber and mixes with air to burn. The flue gas after combustion enters the gas turbine to generate power and drive the compressor to work. The low-pressure flue gas provides energy to the second regenerator, steam Rankine cycle and expansion work equipment group in turn. At this time, the circulating medium in the steam Rankine cycle performs work in the expander and outputs electricity.
[0043] The flue gas then enters the gas-liquid separator to separate the water, and then enters the fifth heat exchanger through the regenerator, where the solid carbon dioxide obtained by condensation is discharged and stored in a solid carbon dioxide storage tank. The remaining low-temperature decarbonized gas passes through the regenerator to provide energy for flue gas cooling, and then is discharged to the external environment.
[0044] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0045] 1. The present invention combines the liquefied air energy storage system (air liquefaction subsystem + liquefied air gasification subsystem), the LNG gasification process (LNG gasification subsystem), the natural gas power generation cycle (gas turbine subsystem + waste heat utilization subsystem) and the carbon capture process (carbon dioxide capture subsystem), which can effectively smooth out the volatility of the power grid, significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions during the power generation process, and greatly increase peak power output. During the off-peak period, the cold energy of LNG and the cold energy recovered from propane are used to produce liquefied air in the air liquefaction subsystem; during the peak period, the natural gas power generation cycle and the liquefied air gasification subsystem work together to generate electricity, which plays the role of peak shaving and valley filling in the power grid.
[0046] 2. Under different power consumption time periods, the LNG all-weather continuous gasification process has two different operating modes that can be flexibly switched. First, by using the high-grade cold energy of LNG for the charging process of the liquefied air energy storage system, the working fluid temperature of the compression process can be greatly reduced, the power consumption of the compressor can be significantly reduced, and the cycle efficiency of the system can be improved. Second, by using a small part of the high-grade cold energy of LNG for carbon dioxide condensation capture and using a propane cold storage cycle to recover the high-grade cold energy of the rest of the LNG, the greenhouse gas emissions of the power generation cycle can be effectively reduced, and the energy storage performance of the system can be improved at the same time. The medium and low-grade cold energy of LNG is used in the heat recovery Rankine cycle to achieve the cascade utilization of LNG cold energy, reduce energy losses in the LNG gasification process, and improve energy utilization efficiency.
[0047] 3. The present invention uses the high-grade energy of the flue gas discharged by the gas turbine in the natural gas power generation cycle for excess air preheating, increases the reaction temperature of the raw materials in the combustion chamber, and improves the combustion efficiency. The remaining medium and low-grade energy of the flue gas is used in the discharge process of the steam Rankine cycle and the liquefied air energy storage system in turn, increases the working fluid temperature in the expansion process, and thus greatly improves the power generation of the expander during the peak electricity consumption period, realizes the efficient cascade utilization of the flue gas heat, and fully improves the cycle efficiency and energy utilization rate of the system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0050] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be pointed out that the embodiments described below are intended to facilitate the understanding of the present invention and do not have any limiting effect on the present invention.
[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, a natural gas power generation system combined with liquefied air energy storage includes an air liquefaction subsystem, a liquefied air gasification subsystem, an LNG gasification subsystem, a gas turbine subsystem, a waste heat utilization subsystem and a carbon dioxide capture subsystem.
[0052] The air liquefaction subsystem is connected to the liquefied air gasification subsystem; the LNG gasification subsystem is connected to the gas turbine subsystem; the gas turbine subsystem is connected to the waste heat utilization subsystem; and the waste heat utilization subsystem is connected to the carbon dioxide capture subsystem.
[0053] The air liquefaction subsystem includes a compression liquefaction equipment group and a liquefied air storage tank connected in sequence; the liquefied air gasification subsystem includes an expansion work equipment group. The waste heat utilization subsystem includes a steam Rankine cycle and is coupled with the expansion work equipment group.
[0054] The LNG gasification subsystem includes a propane cold storage cycle and a recuperative Rankine cycle connected in sequence, and has flexible operation characteristics. The LNG gasification subsystem contains three branches, which are coupled with the compression and liquefaction equipment group during the off-peak period of electricity consumption. The first part of the natural gas obtained by gasifying all the LNG in the first branch is output to the gas supply network. During the peak period of electricity consumption, it is coupled with the carbon dioxide capture subsystem. The LNG in the second branch is used for carbon dioxide condensation capture, and the LNG in the third branch is used for the propane cold storage cycle. After the heated LNG in the second branch and the third branch are combined, they are subjected to heat exchange in the recuperative Rankine cycle and are gasified into the second part of natural gas and the third part of natural gas; the second part of natural gas enters the gas supply network, and the third part of natural gas is delivered to the gas turbine subsystem as fuel.
[0055] Among them, the air liquefaction subsystem works during the off-peak period of electricity consumption (12 hours), one end of which is connected to the air of normal temperature and pressure in the external environment, and enters the liquefied air storage tank 10 for storage after heat exchange and liquefaction by the compression and liquefaction equipment group and the LNG and propane cold storage cycle of the first branch. The other end of the liquefied air storage tank 10 is connected to the liquefied air gasification subsystem. The liquefied air gasification subsystem works during the peak period of electricity consumption (12 hours), and the liquefied air stored in the liquefied air storage tank 10 exchanges heat with the flue gas of the waste heat utilization subsystem to perform gasification, output electricity, and discharge normal pressure air to the external environment. The LNG gasification subsystem operates around the clock (24 hours) and is directly connected to the coastal LNG receiving station at one end. During the off-peak period (12 hours), the LNG in the first branch exchanges heat with the air liquefaction subsystem. The heated LNG in the first branch exchanges heat with the recuperative Rankine cycle to obtain the first part of natural gas, which is all transported into the gas supply network. During the peak period (12 hours), the LNG in the second branch and the LNG in the third branch exchange heat with the carbon dioxide capture subsystem and the propane cold storage cycle respectively and then merge. The merged LNG also exchanges heat with the recuperative Rankine cycle to be gasified into the second part of natural gas and the third part of natural gas. The second part of natural gas is transported into the gas supply network, and the third part of natural gas is used as fuel in the gas turbine subsystem. The expander in the recuperative Rankine cycle continuously outputs electricity in both periods. The gas turbine subsystem, waste heat utilization subsystem and carbon dioxide capture subsystem all operate during the peak electricity consumption period (12 hours), utilizing the combustion process of the third part of the fuel, natural gas, and the resulting flue gas heat to output electricity, and capture solid carbon dioxide through heat exchange between the flue gas and the LNG in the second branch.
[0056] The compression liquefaction equipment group includes five stages of multi-stream heat exchangers connected in series. A compressor is connected between the hot flow outlet of the upper multi-stream heat exchanger and the hot flow inlet of the lower multi-stream heat exchanger, that is, the air is also pressurized and heated by the compressor between the two stages of multi-stream heat exchangers. The heat source of the compression liquefaction equipment group is air, and the cold source is the circulating medium of the LNG and propane cold storage cycle. Specifically, Figure 1As shown in , air at normal temperature and pressure enters the first multi-stream heat exchanger 1 and passes through the first compressor 2, the second multi-stream heat exchanger 3, the second compressor 4, the third multi-stream heat exchanger 5, the third compressor 6, the fourth multi-stream heat exchanger 7, the fourth compressor 8 and the fifth multi-stream heat exchanger 9 in sequence, and reaches the critical point of air liquefaction after heat exchange and compression. Then the liquefied air is sent to the liquefied air storage tank 10 for storage; the circulating medium (propane) of the LNG and propane cold storage cycle exchanges heat with the air in a countercurrent manner in each stage of the multi-stream heat exchanger. It can be seen that the high-grade cold capacity of LNG and the LNG cold energy recovered from propane are used in the process of air compression and liquefaction to reduce the temperature of the air at the compressor inlet, which can greatly reduce the power consumption of the compressor and thus improve the operating efficiency of the system.
[0057] The expansion work equipment group includes four stages of heat exchangers arranged in series. The cold flow outlet of each stage of the heat exchanger is connected to an expander, and pre-stage heating is used to improve the expansion work power generation capacity of the working medium. The heat source of the expansion work equipment group is the flue gas after the steam Rankine cycle heat exchange, and the cold source is the high-pressure liquefied air or the gaseous air at the outlet of the previous stage of the expander. Specifically, Figure 1 As shown in , the liquefied air after being pressurized by the liquid air pump 11 enters the first heat exchanger 12, and is successively heat exchanged and expanded by the first expander 13, the second heat exchanger 14, the second expander 15, the third heat exchanger 16, the third expander 17, the fourth heat exchanger 18 and the fourth expander 19 to obtain normal pressure air, and the first expander 13, the second expander 15, the third expander 17 and the fourth expander 19 output work to the outside. It can be seen that the low-grade waste heat of the flue gas is used in the process of air expansion to increase the temperature of the air at the inlet of the expander, which can greatly improve the output work of the expander, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the system.
[0058] The propane cold storage cycle includes a first propane storage tank 28, a second propane storage tank 31, a first propane pump 29, a second propane pump 30 and a sixth heat exchanger 23; the first propane storage tank 28, the first propane pump 29, the compression and liquefaction equipment group, the second propane pump 30, the second propane storage tank 31 and the sixth heat exchanger 23 are connected in sequence, and the sixth heat exchanger 23 is connected to the first propane storage tank 28 to form a cycle. Among them, the heat source of the sixth heat exchanger 23 is the circulating medium (propane) of the propane cold storage cycle, and the cold source is the LNG of the third branch.
[0059] In the propane cold storage cycle, during the off-peak period of electricity consumption (12 h), the first propane pump 29 transports the circulating medium in the low-temperature first propane storage tank 28 through the compression and liquefaction equipment group in the air liquefaction subsystem, provides cold capacity for air compression and liquefaction, and then is sent to the second propane storage tank 31 by the second propane pump 30 for storage; during the peak period of electricity consumption (12 h), the high-temperature cold storage circulating medium in the second propane storage tank 31 passes through the sixth heat exchanger 23, and is cooled by heat exchange with the LNG in the third branch through the sixth heat exchanger 23, and then re-enters the low-temperature first propane storage tank 28 for storage.

Among them, the heat source of the seventh heat exchanger 25 is the circulating medium of the recuperative Rankine cycle, and the cold source is the LNG of the first branch after the heat exchange of the compression and liquefaction equipment group or the LNG of the second branch after the heat exchange of the carbon dioxide capture subsystem and the LNG of the third branch after the heat exchange of the propane cold storage cycle; the heat sources of the first heater 34 and the second heater 36 are both temperature-controllable process water, and the cold source is the circulating medium of the recuperative Rankine cycle; the fifth expander 35 and the sixth expander 37 output work to the outside. The circulating medium of the recuperative Rankine cycle can be a hydrocarbon mixture, and the most preferred molar composition is a hydrocarbon mixture of 31.61 mol %, 41.59 mol % of ethane, 13.39 mol % of propane, and 13.40 mol % of isobutane. The circulating medium of the recuperative Rankine cycle uses the medium and low-grade cold energy of LNG to generate power.
[0061] The mixed working fluid pump 32 is used to pressurize the circulating medium of the recuperative Rankine cycle to the initial expansion pressure; the first regenerator 33 is used to realize heat exchange between the outlet circulating medium after expansion and the outlet circulating medium of the mixed working fluid pump 32, and precool the gaseous circulating medium after expansion; the first heater 34 uses process water to further heat and vaporize the preheated low-temperature liquid circulating medium, and then the gaseous circulating medium enters the high-pressure fifth expander 35 to do work and generate electricity; the second heater 36 is used between the two-stage expanders for reheating to improve the working capacity of the circulating medium after the initial expansion, and then enters the low-pressure sixth expander 37 to do work and generate electricity; the circulating medium after expansion enters the first regenerator 33 for precooling and then enters the seventh heat exchanger 25 for heat exchange with LNG, thereby reducing the exergy loss in the seventh heat exchanger 25.

Among them, an oxygen-rich combustion reaction occurs in the combustion chamber 38, the air is excess air, and the optimal mass flow ratio of air to the third part of natural gas is 52.77:1. The gas turbine 39 and the compressor 40 are both axial flow type, and the gas turbine 39 drives the compressor 40 to rotate coaxially, and the net work output by the gas turbine 39 is used for power generation; when the gas turbine 39 is insufficient to drive the coaxial compressor 40, an additional driving device (such as an electric motor or an auxiliary gas turbine) is used to provide supplementary power. The heat source of the second regenerator 41 is the flue gas expanded by the gas turbine 39, and the cold source is the excess air compressed by the compressor 40.

[0078] The charging process of the liquefied air energy storage system is combined with the LNG gasification process, and the discharging process of the liquefied air energy storage system is combined with the natural gas power generation process. The LNG gasification process works around the clock (24 hours) to ensure the continuous supply of natural gas to the gas supply network. During the off-peak period of electricity consumption, the air liquefaction subsystem uses the cold energy of LNG and the cold energy recovered from propane to obtain liquefied air. During this period, the LNG gasification power generation can supplement the air compression process. During the peak period of electricity consumption, the liquefied air gasification subsystem uses the flue gas heat of the waste heat utilization subsystem to generate power. The LNG gasification subsystem uses part of the cold energy for carbon dioxide condensation capture in the carbon dioxide capture subsystem, and uses the cold storage device (propane cold storage cycle) to store most of the remaining LNG cold energy during this period to ensure system flexibility. Subsequently, part of the gasified natural gas enters the gas turbine subsystem for combustion and power generation. The flue gas heat is fully utilized through the reaction raw material preheating, steam Rankine cycle and expansion work equipment group, which plays a role in peak shaving and valley filling and smoothing the fluctuation of power grid supply and demand. Subsequently, most of the carbon dioxide is captured by low-temperature condensation to reduce the overall greenhouse gas emissions of the system.
