[0002] Solar thermal power generation has become a form of energy that has attracted much attention due to its advantages of being clean, efficient and widely available. Solar thermal power generation can convert solar radiation into thermal energy and further use it to generate electricity. However, solar thermal power generation relies on sunshine conditions and has intermittent problems, which limits its potential for application in power grids. In addition, traditional solar thermal power generation systems usually use separate energy storage and power generation systems, resulting in large equipment scale, high cost and large system heat loss.

[0003] Thermochemical energy storage has become a research hotspot in the field of solar thermal power generation due to its high energy density and long-term energy storage advantages. At present, the mainstream trend is to generate electricity by combining solar energy with thermochemical energy storage. For example, the prior art discloses a zero-carbon emission combined heat and power system based on a solar methanol decomposition synthesis cycle. The application scenario is mainly to combine solar methanol decomposition, synthesis gas combustion and methanol synthesis cycle to achieve combined heat and power, and its power generation method adopts the steam Rankine cycle. However, under normal circumstances, the operating temperature of the steam Rankine cycle is usually not higher than 300°C, and the working pressure is not more than 10MPa. The overall cycle power generation efficiency is low, and the thermal efficiency is about 30% to 40%, which is not suitable for large-scale solar energy applications. Summary of the invention

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0034] Solar thermal power generation can convert solar radiation into heat energy and further use it to generate electricity. However, solar thermal power generation depends on sunshine conditions and has intermittent problems, which limits its potential application in the power grid.

[0035] At present, for solar thermal-driven power generation coupling systems, common solutions include combining solar energy for methanol decomposition, syngas combustion and methanol synthesis cycle to achieve combined heat and power. These systems mainly use the steam Rankine cycle, also known as the ORC cycle, as a power generation method. However, the operating temperature of the steam Rankine cycle is usually limited to below 300°C, the working pressure does not exceed 10MPa, the overall cycle power generation efficiency is low, and the thermal efficiency is generally between 30% and 40%, so it is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale solar energy applications.

[0036] The present invention mainly adopts the CaO / CaCO3 reaction system, which is suitable for medium and high temperature applications and has good energy storage and release efficiency. In addition, the supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle has higher thermal efficiency and economic and environmental protection in the medium and high temperature range. Fluidized bed reactors are widely used in the fields of chemical reactions, heat exchange, waste treatment, etc., and show unique advantages, especially that they can achieve fast and efficient heat transfer and help reduce the volume and cost of the reactor.

[0037] The fluidized bed reactor and supercritical carbon dioxide combined with solar power generation system of the present invention mainly use the reversible reaction of the CaO / CaCO3 reaction system coupled with the supercritical carbon dioxide cycle to achieve power generation, which has the advantages of high thermal efficiency and solar thermochemical conversion. Among them, the thermal efficiency of the supercritical CO2 Brayton cycle of the present invention can reach 40% to 50%, and can even approach 50% to 60% under the optimal design conditions. This is mainly based on the high density characteristics of supercritical CO2 and its extremely low compression work requirements. Supercritical CO2 means supercritical carbon dioxide. The working temperature of the supercritical carbon dioxide power generation of the present invention is 500°C to 800°C, and the working pressure is 20MPa to 30MPa, and can even exceed 35MPa under certain conditions.

[0038] In addition, traditional solar thermal power generation systems usually use separate energy storage and power generation systems, resulting in large equipment scale, high cost and large system heat loss. To overcome these problems, the present invention proposes a design that tightly integrates a fluidized bed exothermic reactor with buried pipes and a supercritical carbon dioxide solar power generation system. This highly compact and efficient integrated system not only significantly reduces the equipment footprint, but also improves the energy conversion efficiency and improves the overall system performance. In addition, this compact integrated system can better adapt to the intermittent characteristics of solar thermal power generation, providing a practical solution for large-scale solar energy applications.

This structure can significantly improve the heat transfer efficiency, avoid the problem of local overheating or uneven fluidization, and ensure the stability and overall thermal efficiency of the reactor.

[0054] Specifically, the fluidized bed reactor 11 of the embodiment of the present invention realizes an efficient and compact reaction and power generation system structure through the design of the buried pipe 15, the optimized gas-solid distribution structure, the integration of the supercritical CO2 Brayton cycle and the characteristics of two-stage expansion power generation.
