Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a novel cooling power cycle and power generation system, and in particular to a novel cooling power cycle and power generation system adopting air separation low-temperature expander technology and liquid-air cooling energy cooling power generation technology. Background Art

[0002] Against the backdrop of carbon neutrality, building a new power system with new energy as the main body has become a global consensus. Energy storage will participate in it as a core link and is an important guarantee for maintaining the stability of the power system.

[0003] Since photovoltaic and wind power generation are random and intermittent, and electricity has the characteristics of real-time balance of supply and demand and is difficult to store on a large scale, the large-scale grid-connected photovoltaic and wind power generation will aggravate the dual volatility and uncertainty on both the supply and demand sides of the power system, making system peak regulation difficult and bringing about a series of problems such as abandoned solar and wind power. Energy storage can smooth out the instability of photovoltaic and wind power generation and achieve a dynamic balance of electricity supply and demand.

[0004] In the summer, electricity demand is strong, and the peak-valley electricity price difference continues to expand. In 17 provinces and regions, the peak-valley electricity price difference exceeds 0.7 yuan / kWh, and the economic benefits of industrial and commercial energy storage projects are highlighted. In July 2024, with the arrival of summer, the peak-valley electricity price difference in various regions across the country has widened. A total of 17 regions have a peak-valley electricity price difference of more than 0.7 yuan / kWh. The top three are Guangdong Province (five cities in the Pearl River Delta), Hainan Province, and Jiangsu Province. The largest peak-valley price differences reached 1.27 yuan / kWh, 1.22 yuan / kWh, and 1.14 yuan / kWh, respectively, and the economic benefits of peak-valley arbitrage have been significantly improved. Even in the spring when electricity demand is relatively stable, there are still 16 regions with a peak-valley electricity price difference of more than 0.7 yuan / kWh in March, which effectively guarantees the profitability stability of peak-valley arbitrage of industrial and commercial energy storage systems in the year-round dimension.

[0005] The new energy power supply system will face problems such as mismatch between power supply and demand, and energy storage, virtual power plants, microgrids and other regulatory means are indispensable. Electricity is a dynamic process energy that is not easy to store. It is mainly achieved through the power grid to achieve simultaneous production, transmission and consumption. The power generation method of new energy (such as wind power and solar energy) is greatly affected by weather conditions and has the characteristics of intermittent, volatility and instability. Large-scale application will have an impact on the stability of the power grid. In order to cope with the power generation characteristics of new energy power generation, energy storage, virtual power plants, microgrids and other regulatory means will be widely used in the future. Therefore, the configuration of energy storage is indispensable in the future green power energy system, and the role of new energy storage in promoting the development and consumption of new energy and the safe and stable operation of the power system is gradually emerging.

[0006] Liquid air energy storage (LAES) is a new type of energy storage technology that stores energy by liquefying air. This technology uses the "compression-expansion" process of air to cool the compressed air to a liquid state for storage, completing the conversion of electrical energy and pressure energy. Compared with traditional compressed air energy storage systems (CAES), liquefied air energy storage technology realizes the storage of electrical energy in the form of liquid air. In addition to the many application advantages of compressed air energy storage technology, this technology does not require large pressure storage containers, thus getting rid of the restrictions on its site selection and construction due to factors such as geographical location. The energy storage density of this method is 10 to 40 times that of compressed air energy storage. It can store more energy in smaller containers, is not restricted by geographical conditions, and has more flexible site selection.

[0007] There are some demonstration projects of liquid compressed air energy storage (LAES) technology at home and abroad. For example, China Green Development is building the first domestic liquefied air energy storage demonstration project based on the 60,000 kW / 600,000 kW-hour liquefied air energy storage project in Haixi, Qinghai. At present, the project has completed the site selection and technical scheme demonstration, and has passed the feasibility study review organized by the State Grid Engineering Institute entrusted by the Qinghai Provincial Energy Bureau. It is handling the preliminary procedures such as environmental impact assessment, safety assessment, and access system approval. The project is scheduled to be put into operation in 2024, when it will become the world's most powerful liquefied air energy storage power station. In April 2022, China Green Development Investment Group Co., Ltd. and the Institute of Physical and Chemical Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences signed an investment agreement. The two parties established a liquefied air energy storage joint venture and an advanced energy storage joint research center, committed to realizing the industrialization of liquefied air energy storage technology. In December 2022, the liquid air energy storage technology research project applied by Hebei Jiantou Guorong Energy Service Co., Ltd. was successfully "unveiled" and was listed as a provincial science and technology plan project in Hebei Province. In addition, Jiangsu Jinhe Energy Technology Co., Ltd., a company in the heat storage industry, is also trying to enter this market.

[0008] Chinese patents such as CN201210266535.4-High-efficiency and high-pressure liquid air energy storage and release system, CN201310061963.8-Compressed air energy storage system, etc., have conducted in-depth research on liquid compressed air energy storage (LAES) technology.

[0009] The key equipment of LAES technology, such as compressors, high-pressure gas storage tanks, cryogenic expanders, liquid pumps, expansion generators and other domestic equipment, has been relatively mature, and the industrial chain is mature. As the capacity of the energy storage system increases, the cost will tend to decrease, and it is expected that LAES technology will usher in a broader application prospect in the future.

[0010] Therefore, the cold power cycle air liquefaction technology in LAES, energy-saving compressor high-pressure gas transmission technology, cold power generation of cold energy during liquid air output and other technologies are worthy of in-depth study. Summary of the invention

[0011] A novel cold power cycle and power generation system, the system adopts a supplementary cold cycle loop, the supplementary cold cycle loop refers to the liquid air (liquid air is liquid air, the same below) coming out of the liquid storage tank 3, after being gasified by the hydraulic pump 4 and the cold exchange unit 2, then discharged by the low-temperature expander 5 and the cold exchange unit 2, entering the compressor 1 or the compressor 7 for pressurization, and then liquefied by the cold exchange unit 2, and entering the liquid storage tank 3, the mechanical work generated by the low-temperature expander 5 drags the brake 6 to supplement the liquefaction process of the compressed air; or the air is pre-cooled and liquefied by the compressor 1 and the cold exchange unit 2, and a part of the air or liquid air diverted is discharged into the atmosphere through the cold exchange unit 2, the low-temperature expander 5, and the cold exchange unit 2, or enters the compressor 1 and / or the compressor 7 for pressurization, and then returns to the part of the gas phase air or liquid air diversion point diverted by the cold exchange unit 2, thereby forming a supplementary cold cycle loop of the cold power cycle system;

[0012] When storing energy:

[0013] After being compressed by the compressor 1, the air enters the cooling unit 2 to be liquefied into liquid air, which is then sent to the liquid storage tank 3. The liquid air in the liquid storage tank 3 is then pressurized by the high-pressure pump 14 and enters the high-pressure liquid storage tank 22 for energy storage.

[0014] When releasing energy:

[0015] The high-pressure liquid air in the high-pressure liquid storage tank 22 enters the condenser 25, and the condenser 25 absorbs the cold released by the high-pressure liquid air, liquefies the gaseous organic working fluid discharged from the organic working fluid gas turbine 28, and then gasifies it through the organic working fluid circulation pump 26 and the evaporator 27. The formed superheated gaseous organic working fluid enters the organic working fluid gas turbine 28 to expand and do work, and drives the cold power generator 29 to generate electricity. The gaseous organic working fluid discharged from the organic working fluid gas turbine 28 enters the condenser 25 again, thereby forming an organic working fluid Rankine cycle loop; the high-pressure air 32 coming out of the condenser 25 is heated by the reheater 17, and then enters the gas turbine 18 to expand and do work, and drives the gas turbine generator 19 to generate electricity, and the gas turbine exhaust 21 is discharged; or the high-pressure air 32 coming out of the condenser 25 is heated by the reheater 20 and the reheater 17, and then enters the gas turbine 18 to expand and do work, and drives the gas turbine generator 19 to generate electricity. The outlet gas of the gas turbine 18 recovers heat through the reheater 20 to form the gas turbine exhaust 21;

[0016] Alternatively, the high-pressure liquid air in the high-pressure liquid storage tank 22 enters the temperature difference power generation unit 30 , absorbs the cold energy released by the high-pressure liquid air to perform temperature difference power generation, and outputs temperature difference electricity 31 .

[0017] The temperature difference power generation unit 73 is selected with reference to the existing known technology. For example, CN201310030046.3 provides a cold energy temperature difference power generation device, CN201910807235.4 provides an LNG cold energy temperature difference power generation system based on a seawater vaporizer, CN202410506362.1 provides a power battery cold and heat integrated management system and working method based on phase change cooling and temperature difference power generation, and so on.

[0024] The compressed air in the novel cooling power cycle and power generation system is an isobaric liquefaction process, which means that the raw air entering the cooling unit 2 does not need to be expanded, depressurized and refrigerated like the traditional air separation process. The air coming out of the compressor only has resistance losses of equipment and pipelines along the way, and can be regarded as an isobaric liquefaction process of air with little pressure change.

[0025] The air purification and purification equipment in the novel cold power cycle and power generation system, wherein the purification equipment includes a molecular sieve purifier, a reversible cooler or a stone cooler, etc., should be able to ensure the continuous and normal operation of the process.

The pressure regulating pump 24 adopts a variable frequency speed regulation operation mode to maintain the stability of the output pressure.

[0032] When the high-pressure and low-temperature liquid air in the high-pressure liquid storage tank 22 absorbs heat and its pressure increases, a gas release expansion cooling circuit is provided: the gaseous air discharged from the high-pressure liquid storage tank 22 is expanded and works by the release gas expander 33 to reduce the pressure and temperature, and enters the cooling unit 2 to recover the cold and then be discharged.

[0038] 1. Compared with the existing multi-stage compression and intermediate cooling compressor high-pressure gas transmission technology, the high-pressure gas supply technology of air isobaric liquefaction and hydraulic pump pressurization and cooling combined with full low-pressure oxygen production technology can effectively reduce the compression heat power consumption of the compressor and reduce the difficulty of heat recovery of the low-grade compression heat of the compressor. The comprehensive power consumption of high-pressure gas supply is greatly reduced and the noise is low. It is essentially a new energy-saving gas pressure / hydraulic combined high-pressure gas supply unit. The gas pressure / hydraulic combined high-pressure gas supply unit is suitable for the transformation and upgrading of the existing liquid air energy storage power station gas supply system;
