[0002] In traditional power systems, grid peak shaving presents a significant technical challenge. With the rapid development of renewable energy, grid load fluctuations have become more severe and unpredictable, further complicating peak shaving. Traditional peak shaving methods often rely on adjusting fossil fuel usage, which not only reduces combustion efficiency but also suffers from low sensitivity. Therefore, to improve the sensitivity of grid peak shaving while reducing operating and maintenance costs and minimizing environmental impact, energy storage can be used to enhance the flexibility and efficiency of grid peak shaving.
[0003] Traditional compressed air energy storage can handle large-scale, long-term energy storage needs, but its response speed and peak-shaving capacity are low. At the same time, a larger space is required to build air storage units, resulting in increased equipment and land costs, and higher facility construction and maintenance costs.

[0007] The present invention takes into account the technical problems that traditional compressed air energy storage can handle large-scale long-term energy storage needs, but has low response speed and peak-shaving capacity. At the same time, a larger space is required to build air storage units, resulting in increased equipment and land costs, and higher facility construction and maintenance costs. The present invention combines compressed air energy storage with molten salt energy storage technology and energy recovery and utilization technology, aiming to ensure fuel utilization while improving the peak-shaving sensitivity of the power grid, thereby reducing operating and maintenance costs. The present invention provides a coal and biomass co-combustion power grid peak-shaving system that specifically includes a feeding device, a silo, a boiler, a first steam turbine, a flue gas purification device, a molten salt energy storage system, and a compressed air energy storage system.

[0009] The feed end of the silo is communicated with the discharge end of the feeding device to receive the coal raw material and the biomass raw material from the feeding device and mix the coal raw material and the biomass raw material to form a mixed fuel.
[0010] The boiler is provided with a burner connected to the interior of the boiler; the feed end of the burner is connected to the output end of the silo through a feeding pipe, so that the mixed fuel enters the boiler through the feeding pipe for combustion, generating high-temperature flue gas, and at the same time, the water in the boiler absorbs heat to generate high-temperature and high-pressure steam.
[0011] The steam inlet of the first steam turbine is connected to the steam outlet of the boiler through a main steam pipe to receive high-temperature and high-pressure steam from the boiler, convert the thermal energy in the high-temperature and high-pressure steam into mechanical energy, and generate power to drive electricity generation.
[0012] The air inlet end of the flue gas purification device is connected to the exhaust end of the boiler through a flue to receive the high-temperature flue gas from the boiler, and the flue gas purification device removes harmful substances such as SO2, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, etc. in the flue gas to achieve the expected effect, so that it is not easy to clog the pipeline during subsequent recycling. While ensuring that the flue gas emissions meet environmental protection standards, it can also improve the operating efficiency of the system and is also conducive to green environmental protection.
[0013] The molten salt energy storage system is used to receive and store heat from the flue gas purified by the flue gas purification device and the steam exhaust gas after being used by the first steam turbine.
[0014] The compressed air energy storage system is used to receive and store the energy of the gas after heat release and temperature reduction in the molten salt energy storage system.
[0015] The output end of the molten salt energy storage system and the output end of the compressed air energy storage system are connected to the steam inlet of the first steam turbine to provide a heat source for the operation of the first steam turbine.
[0016] During low-peak electricity consumption, the grid peak-shaving system of the present invention stores the heat and excess electricity in the flue gas and the exhaust gas discharged by the first steam turbine in the molten salt energy storage system and the compressed air energy storage system, respectively. During peak electricity consumption, the stored heat and energy are released through the molten salt energy storage system and the compressed air energy storage system to generate electricity and supplement the grid load.

At the same time, the exhaust steam from the steam turbine and the purified flue gas also enter the second heat exchange unit through the pipeline to release heat and cool down. The molten salt after the first heating is heated for a second time by the electric heater and then enters the high-temperature molten salt storage unit for storage.

After releasing heat and cooling in the second heat exchange unit, the gas mixes with air through a pipeline and enters the compressor. The gas temperature and pressure increase, and the heated and pressurized gas enters the fourth heat exchange unit to release heat and cool down. Simultaneously, water enters the fourth heat exchange unit, absorbing heat and heating it to become superheated steam. The heated superheated steam enters the input of the first steam turbine from the output of the fourth heat exchange unit. After releasing heat in the fourth heat exchange unit, the gas enters the high-pressure gas storage unit for storage. During peak electricity demand, the energy stored in the compressed air energy storage system is converted into electrical energy for output.

[0053] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below.
[0054] Traditional compressed air energy storage can handle large-scale, long-term energy storage needs, but its response speed and peak-shaving capabilities are relatively slow. Furthermore, it requires a larger space to construct the air storage units, resulting in increased equipment and land costs, as well as higher construction and maintenance costs. This invention combines compressed air energy storage with molten salt energy storage and energy recovery technologies, aiming to improve grid peak-shaving sensitivity while maintaining fuel efficiency, thereby reducing operating and maintenance costs.

[0058] See also Figure 1In this embodiment, the feeding device includes a pulverized coal feeding unit 1 and a biomass feeding unit 2, wherein the outlet of the pulverized coal feeding unit 1 and the outlet of the biomass feeding unit 2 are both connected to the silo 5, so that the pulverized coal feeding unit 1 provides the pulverized coal stored therein to the silo 5, and the biomass feeding unit 2 provides the biomass stored therein to the silo 5, so as to facilitate mixing of the coal and biomass raw materials through the silo 5.
[0059] In this embodiment, the boiler 12 is provided with a burner 10 that is connected to the interior of the boiler 12. The feed end of the burner 10 is connected to the output end of the silo 5 through a feeding pipe 11, that is, the feeding pipe 11 is a channel connecting the silo 5 and the burner 10 of the boiler 12, and is used to transport the mixed coal and biomass fuel in the silo 5 to the burner 10 of the boiler 12, so that the mixed fuel enters the boiler 12 through the feeding pipe 11 for combustion, generating high-temperature flue gas, and at the same time, the water in the boiler 12 absorbs heat to generate high-temperature and high-pressure steam.
[0060] In this embodiment, the steam inlet of the first steam turbine 14 is connected to the steam outlet of the boiler 12 via a main steam pipe 13 to receive high-temperature, high-pressure steam from the boiler 12. The air inlet of the flue gas purification device 15 is connected to the exhaust end of the boiler 12 via a flue 16 to receive and purify the high-temperature flue gas from the boiler 12.
[0061] Specifically, when coal and biomass are mixed and burned, the coal fuel in the pulverized coal feeding unit 1 and the biomass fuel in the biomass feeding unit 2 enter the silo 5 and are evenly mixed. The mixed fuel in the silo 5 enters the feeding pipe 11, and the primary air enters the feeding pipe 11 and carries the mixed fuel into the burner 10.

[0062] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in order to realize the intelligent peak regulation of the power grid and to further utilize the heat in the high-temperature and high-pressure steam and high-temperature flue gas generated above, the molten salt energy storage system in this embodiment is used to receive and store the heat from the flue gas purified by the flue gas purification device 15 and the steam exhaust gas after being used by the first steam turbine 14. The power grid peak regulation system of this embodiment also includes a molten salt energy storage system, a compressed air energy storage system, a first heat exchange unit 17, and an energy management system 38. Among them, the molten salt energy storage system is used to receive and store the heat from the flue gas purified by the flue gas purification device 15 and the steam exhaust gas after being used by the first steam turbine 14. The compressed air energy storage system is used to receive and store the energy of the gas after heat release and cooling in the molten salt energy storage system. The output end of the molten salt energy storage system and the output end of the compressed air energy storage system are connected to the steam inlet of the first steam turbine 14 to provide a heat source for the operation of the first steam turbine 14.
[0063] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the molten salt energy storage system includes a low-temperature molten salt storage unit 18, a high-temperature molten salt storage unit 19, a second heat exchange unit 20, a third heat exchange unit 21, a molten salt delivery pipeline 22, and an electric heater 23. This embodiment also includes a solar collector to collect solar radiation energy and convert it into thermal energy, or an electric heater to use electrical energy to heat the low-temperature molten salt.
[0064] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the compressed air energy storage system includes a compressor 26, a fourth heat exchange unit 27, a high-pressure gas storage unit 28, and a second steam turbine 29. The input end of the compressor 26 is connected to the exhaust end of the second heat exchange unit 20 via a pipeline, and the input end of the compressor 26 is also connected to an air source, so that the gas after heat release and cooling in the second heat exchange unit 20 is mixed with air and then enters the compressor 26 for compression processing. The input end of the fourth heat exchange unit 27 is connected to the output end of the compressor 26 via a pipeline, and the water supply end of the fourth heat exchange unit 27 is also connected to a water source, so that the compressed gas enters the fourth heat exchange unit 27 to release heat and feed water, and the water absorbs heat and rises in temperature to become superheated steam; the input end of the high-pressure gas storage unit 28 is connected to the exhaust end of the fourth heat exchange unit 27 to receive and store the gas after heat release in the fourth heat exchange unit 27. The input end of the second steam turbine 29 is connected to the output end of the high-pressure gas storage unit 28, so that the gas in the high-pressure gas storage unit 28 enters the second steam turbine 29 to generate power.
[0065] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the power grid peak-shaving system further includes a first heat exchange unit 17, the air inlet end of the first heat exchange unit 17 being in communication with the exhaust end of the flue gas purification device 15, and the steam inlet of the first heat exchange unit 17 being in communication with the steam outlet of the first steam turbine 14, so as to receive heat from the flue gas purified by the flue gas purification device 15 and the steam exhaust gas after use by the first steam turbine 14. The water inlet end of the first heat exchange unit 17 is also in communication with a water source, and the steam inlet of the first heat exchange unit 17 is in communication with the steam outlet of the first steam turbine 14, so that water enters the first heat exchange unit 17, absorbs heat from the flue gas purified by the flue gas purification device 15 and the steam exhaust gas after use by the first steam turbine 14, and is then converted into superheated steam, which enters the first steam turbine 14 to provide a heat source for the operation of the first steam turbine 14.
[0066] In this embodiment, the output end of the low-temperature molten salt storage unit 18 is connected to the first input end of the second heat exchange unit 20; the second input end of the second heat exchange unit 20 is connected to the exhaust steam channel. The exhaust gas discharged by the first steam turbine 14 and the flue gas discharged by the flue gas purification device 15 both enter the second input end of the second heat exchange unit 20 through the exhaust gas channel. During the low-peak period of electricity consumption, the first steam turbine 14 uses the high-temperature and high-pressure steam generated by the boiler 12 to perform work, which will produce exhaust steam. These exhaust steam and the flue gas discharged by the flue gas purification device 15 still contain a large amount of heat and are directly transported to the second input end of the second heat exchange unit 20 through the exhaust steam channel. Here, the high-temperature gas exchanges heat with the low-temperature molten salt, transferring the heat to the low-temperature molten salt, and then the gas enters the compressor 26 to further utilize the remaining heat.

[0067] Specifically, during periods of low electricity demand, the system can store heat from flue gas and steam, as well as excess electricity, in molten salt. The low-temperature molten salt in the low-temperature molten salt storage unit 18 flows through the molten salt delivery pipeline 22 into the second heat exchange unit 20, where it absorbs heat and heats up for the first time. Simultaneously, exhaust steam from the steam turbine and purified flue gas also flow through the pipeline into the second heat exchange unit 20, where they release heat and cool down. The molten salt, having been heated once, is then heated again by the electric heater 23 before being stored in the high-temperature molten salt storage unit 19.

The superheated steam is output from the second output port of the third heat exchange unit 21 and enters the input port of the first steam turbine 14. The molten salt, having released heat in the third heat exchange unit 21, flows through the first output port and enters the low-temperature molten salt storage unit 18 for storage.

[0091] This embodiment provides a power grid peak shaving method using molten salt coupled with compressed air energy storage using a blend of coal and biomass, including the following steps:
[0092] Step 1: transport coal raw materials and biomass raw materials into the silo 5 through the coal powder feeding unit 1 and the biomass feeding unit 2.
[0093] Step 2: After the coal raw material and the biomass raw material are mixed through the silo 5, they are transported into the boiler 12 through the feeding pipe 11 for combustion to generate high-temperature flue gas and high-temperature and high-pressure steam.
[0094] In step 3, the high-temperature and high-pressure steam is transported through the main steam pipe 13 into the first steam turbine 14 for use to generate steam exhaust gas.
[0095] During the off-peak period of electricity consumption, the high-temperature flue gas generated by the boiler 12, the heat in the steam exhaust gas after use by the first steam turbine 14, and a small amount of excess electricity are stored in the molten salt energy storage system, while most of the excess heat is stored in the compressed air energy storage system.
[0096] During peak electricity consumption periods, the heat in the high-temperature flue gas and exhaust gas from the steam turbine is recovered into the water vapor in the boiler through a heat exchanger. At the same time, the molten salt energy storage system and the compressed air energy storage system convert the stored energy into electrical energy for power generation and to supplement the grid load.
[0097] This invention utilizes molten salt and compressed air energy storage technologies, combined with intelligent peak-shaving technology. This technology uses a molten salt heat storage and release cycle to store and release energy based on grid peaks, achieving efficient energy migration and improving the intermittent and unstable nature of new power systems. This technology stores excess electricity and heat during low-peak periods and releases this energy to meet demand during peak periods, significantly enhancing the flexibility of grid peak-shaving. Furthermore, a heat exchanger recycles waste heat from flue gas and turbine exhaust gas, increasing power generation while reducing heat losses in the system, further improving energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions and external energy demand.
[0098] The present invention achieves the optimal operating state through intelligent regulation and control, and is efficient, economical and operational. The system that couples compressed air energy storage and molten salt energy storage can take advantage of the advantages of both and provide a more efficient and flexible energy storage solution. Compressed air energy storage can handle large-scale long-term energy storage needs, while molten salt energy storage can handle rapid charging and discharging needs in a short period of time. Compared with the instability and scenario limitations of traditional technologies, this system is more flexible in dealing with fluctuations in electricity demand, provides a more stable power supply, helps balance the load of the power grid, reduces the pressure of peak loads on the power grid, improves the operating efficiency and reliability of the power grid, and can balance the advantages and disadvantages of the two technologies under different load conditions. In addition, the system further optimizes the heat storage medium and uses a low-melting-point mixed molten salt to increase the heat storage temperature and reduce costs; in the design and operation of the system, environmental impacts are taken into consideration, such as using renewable energy such as solar energy as a heat source to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. It has broad application prospects and huge development potential.
[0099] Obviously, the above embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
