Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solar power generation, and in particular to a desert tower type solar CO2 power generation and impurity removal system and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Due to the instability of solar energy, molten salt heat storage is usually used to stabilize the system's power output and support the system's nighttime operation. As the most promising power generation cycle in the future, the supercritical CO2 cycle has been widely used in solar thermal power generation. For the supercritical CO2 power generation cycle, its high efficiency is mainly due to the fact that the compressor significantly reduces the compression power consumption when compressing near the critical point of CO2. When the external ambient temperature is significantly higher than the critical point, the efficiency of the supercritical CO2 power generation system will drop significantly. At present, areas with relatively rich solar thermal resources are mostly located in deserts and other arid and severely water-scarce areas, where the ambient temperature is relatively high. For example, in the Sahara Desert, the temperature can reach above 50°C during the day, while the temperature can drop to below -10°C at night. The huge temperature difference poses significant challenges to the operation of the system.

[0003] Comparative document CN111749862A discloses a supercritical Brayton cycle solar thermal power generation system and a power generation method using a mixture working fluid, and the protected claim is "including a solar thermal heat source input subsystem and a supercritical CO2 and SF6 mixture working fluid power cycle power generation subsystem; the present invention uses a supercritical CO2 and SF6 mixture as the working fluid, and when the working fluid temperature at the inlet of the main compressor in the solar thermal power generation system deviates greatly from the critical temperature of supercritical CO2, the power generation efficiency of the solar thermal power generation system can be significantly improved. In addition, during the operation of the circulation system, the flow rate of the working fluid entering the particle-sCO2 heat exchanger is adjusted by a shunt control valve, which can effectively solve the problem of controlling the turbine inlet working fluid temperature by the particle-sCO2 heat exchanger in the system, and significantly improve the operating efficiency and peak-shaving flexibility of the entire solar thermal power generation system." However, the proportion of the mixture during operation is difficult to control, and the cost of SF6 is higher than that of CO2, making it difficult to apply in actual engineering; how to effectively solve the effective cooling of CO2 in desert areas is the main problem currently faced. In addition, the CO2 power generation system will inevitably be mixed with impurity gases such as N2 and O2. How to remove impurities during operation to ensure system efficiency is also an urgent issue to be solved.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a desert tower solar CO2 power generation and impurity removal system and a method of using the system to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

When the temperature in the desert is low at night, the CO2 can be condensed into a liquid phase, and the CO2 power cycle operates transcritically. At the same time, when the CO2 purity of the system is measured to be low, a gas-liquid separator is used to separate the liquid CO2 from the impurity gas, so as to exclude the impurities from the system.

The cold fluid side of the low-temperature cooler (8) transmits the water vapor generated by absorption of heat to the absorber (9.3) to release heat and dissipate it to the environment through air.

9. A method for using a desert tower solar CO2 power generation and impurity removal system according to any one of claims 1 to 8, characterized in that: It includes the following processes: S1: The solar rays are reflected by the heliostat field (1) onto a heat absorber (3) disposed on a heat absorption tower (2), thereby converting the solar energy into heat energy; S2: The absorber (3) absorbs solar energy and converts it into heat energy. The third valve (4.7) is opened, and the low-temperature molten salt flowing out of the molten salt cold tank (4.2) enters the absorber (3) through the second pump (4.4); S3: The low-temperature molten salt absorbs heat energy in the heat absorber (3) and becomes high-temperature molten salt. The first valve (4.5) is opened, and a portion of the high-temperature molten salt is stored in the molten salt hot tank (4.1), while the other portion of the high-temperature molten salt flows through the heater (5) and releases heat to become low-temperature molten salt; S4: After passing through the second valve (4.6), part of the low-temperature molten salt is stored in the molten salt cold tank (4.2), and part of it enters the heat absorber (3) again through the second pump (4.4); S5: CO2 absorbs heat from the high-temperature molten salt through the heater (5), then expands through the turbine (6.1) to generate electricity, then flows through the regenerator (6.2) and high-temperature cooler (7) to release heat, and then is cooled through the air cooler (6.3); S6: The waste heat of the CO2 absorbed in the high-temperature cooler (7) drives the lithium bromide solution absorption refrigeration unit (9) to produce cold energy, so that the CO2 in the low-temperature cooler (8) is further cooled; S7: When the ambient temperature is high and CO2 cannot be condensed into a liquid state from the cryocooler (8), CO2 directly enters the compressor (6.6) through the passage 1 (6.4) to increase the pressure after coming out of the cryocooler (8), and then enters the regenerator (6.2) to absorb heat. After absorbing heat, it flows into the heater (5) to form a supercritical CO2 power cycle; S8: When the ambient temperature is low, the temperature of CO2 at the outlet of the air cooler (6.3) is relatively low, so that the lithium bromide solution absorption refrigeration unit (9) can condense CO2 into liquid. At this time, the fourth valve (6.7) is closed, and the liquid CO2 enters the gas-liquid separator (10.1) through the second passage (6.5). If the CO2 contains impurities, the gas-liquid separator (10.1) can be used to remove the impurities and the non-condensable gas impurities can be discharged through the exhaust valve (10.5); S9: The liquid CO2 in the gas-liquid separator (10.1) enters the CO2 storage tank (10.2), and after being pressurized by the No. 3 pump (10.3), the fifth valve (10.4) is opened to enter the regenerator (6.2) and the heater (5), thereby forming a transcritical CO2 power cycle.

10. The method for using a desert tower solar CO2 power generation and impurity removal system according to claim 9, characterized in that: The specific method steps of the lithium bromide solution absorption refrigeration unit (9) in S6 in the system are: S6.1: The dilute lithium bromide solution absorbs the heat of CO2 in the high-temperature cooler (7) to become a concentrated lithium bromide solution, and then enters the solution heat exchanger (9.1) to exchange heat with the dilute lithium bromide solution to reduce the temperature; S6.2: After passing through the first throttle valve (9.2), it enters the absorber (9.3), absorbs the water vapor from the low-temperature cooler (8), forms a dilute lithium bromide solution and releases heat. The dilute lithium bromide solution is pressurized by the No. 4 pump (9.4) and enters the solution heat exchanger (9.1), and finally enters the high-temperature cooler (7), completing the solution circulation loop; S6.3: In the high temperature cooler (7), water vapor evaporated from the dilute lithium bromide solution enters the condenser (9.5) and condenses to form liquid water; S6.4: Liquid water passes through the second throttle valve (9.6) and undergoes pressure reduction and temperature reduction, and finally enters the low-temperature cooler (8) to evaporate and release cold energy, further cooling the CO2, thus forming a complete water vapor circulation loop.
