Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of geothermal energy development and utilization, and specifically relates to a hydrothermal heat storage CO2 cycle heat extraction-power generation integrated system and method. Background Art
[0002] Large-scale development and utilization of geothermal energy can play a key role in meeting the growth of global energy demand and achieving decarbonization goals. In this context, maximizing the efficiency of geothermal energy utilization is essential to fully utilize its decarbonization potential. Geothermal power generation systems generally include two main components: underground heat extraction systems and surface power generation systems. Improving the overall efficiency of the system requires maximizing heat extraction performance and establishing the best match between underground and surface processes.
[0003] Patents CN114046230A and CN114016986A disclose respectively compressed gas energy storage and geothermal extraction coupling systems for aquifers and enhanced geothermal systems. Both heat extraction and energy storage media use compressed air. In terms of heat extraction working fluid research, in addition to compressed air, CO2 is gradually being used in underground heat extraction processes. Existing CO2 heat extraction systems are mainly divided into two categories: systems that apply CO2 to natural permeable formations / hydrothermal heat storage and heat extraction are called plume geothermal systems; systems that apply CO2 to hot dry rocks / enhanced geothermal systems (Enhanced Geothermal System, EGS) are called CO2-EGS systems. Both are geothermal systems that integrate geothermal energy extraction and CO2 storage.
[0004] Commonly used geothermal power generation methods include ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) and flash evaporation power generation system. At present, the research on power generation system mainly focuses on the optimization of operating parameters under fixed input conditions, and the operation mode of ground power generation system is relatively fixed, and the coupling with the dynamic heat extraction characteristics of underground system is rarely considered. Therefore, for the hydrothermal heat storage CO2 heat extraction system, it is particularly important to develop a new high-efficiency composite power generation technology that matches it and build an integrated heat extraction-power generation system, and at the same time conduct research on the dynamic matching characteristics of heat extraction-power generation to improve the utilization efficiency of geothermal energy and promote the implementation of the national "dual carbon" goals.

[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, a hydrothermal heat storage CO2 cycle heat extraction-power generation integrated method comprises the following steps:
[0077] S1. Collecting geothermal fluid through the heat extraction subsystem;
[0078] S2, using geothermal fluids to generate electricity through a transcritical CO2-flash-ORC composite power generation subsystem;
[0079] The S1 is specifically:
[0080] The liquid CO2 in the CO2 storage tank 1 is pressurized to above the critical pressure by the first booster pump 2, and the first valve 3 is opened to send the CO2 from the injection well 4 to the hydrothermal heat storage 7. The CO2 continuously displaces the geothermal water in the hydrothermal heat storage 7 to move to the bottom of the production well 10, and at the same time replaces the geothermal water in the pores, completing the geological storage of CO2, and extracting the geothermal fluid from the production well 10. The geothermal fluid sequentially undergoes a component transformation process of geothermal water, a mixture of water and CO2, and CO2.
[0081] In this embodiment, at the initial stage of operation of the heat extraction subsystem, the geothermal fluid extracted from the production well 10 is geothermal water. After a period of time, when CO2 migrates to the bottom of the production well 10, the extracted geothermal fluid begins to transform into a mixture of water and CO2. As the operating time increases, the CO2 content in the mixture increases, and the water content continues to decrease.
[0082] The S2 is specifically:
[0083] S21. Operation of flash evaporation unit and ORC power generation unit in the initial stage of combined power generation:
[0084] The second valve 11 at the wellhead of the production well 10 is opened to send the geothermal water into the separator 12, the ninth valve 27 is opened, the third valve 13 and the eighth valve 26 are closed, and the geothermal water is sent into the flash evaporator 28 after removing impurities, and is flash-evaporated into a vapor-liquid mixture in the flash evaporator 28 by reducing the pressure;
[0085] The saturated steam separated from the steam-liquid mixture is sent to the steam turbine 33 through the tenth valve 32 to perform work, driving the third generator 34 to generate electricity, and the heat energy is converted into electrical energy. During the power generation process, the exhaust steam at the outlet of the steam turbine 33 transfers heat to the cooling water in the third condenser 35, and the condensed water is sent to the water storage tank 41 through the eleventh valve 38;
[0086] The saturated water separated from the vapor-liquid mixture is sent to the evaporator 23 through the seventh valve 25 to transfer heat to the organic working medium. The organic working medium absorbs heat and is sent to the ORC turbine 29 to do work, driving the second generator 30 to generate electricity. During the power generation process, the exhaust steam at the outlet of the ORC turbine 29 is condensed into liquid in the second condenser 31, and then pressurized to the evaporation pressure by the working medium pump 24 and sent to the evaporator 23.
[0087] When the local hot water temperature is low, the seventh valve 25 is closed, the sixth valve 22 is opened, and the saturated water separated by the flash evaporator 28 is directly sent to the water storage tank 41 through the bypass. Figure 3 As shown, when the pressure in the geothermal water is low, the efficiency of the flash evaporation system is low. The ninth valve 27 is closed and the eighth valve 26 is opened. The geothermal water is directly sent to the ORC evaporator 23 to provide heat to the ORC system. The system path is as follows Figure 4 shown.
[0088] S22. Keep the flash evaporation unit and the ORC power generation unit open during the mid-stage of the combined power generation, and operate the transcritical CO2 power generation unit at the same time:
[0089] The third valve 13 is opened, and the CO2 separated from the geothermal water containing CO2 is sent to the CO2 turbine 14 to perform work, driving the first generator 15 to generate electricity. During the power generation process, the exhaust steam at the outlet of the CO2 turbine 14 is sent to the first condenser 16 to be condensed into liquid, and then pressurized to a specified pressure by the second booster pump 17. The fourth valve 18 is opened to be injected into the ground together with the supercritical CO2 from the CO2 storage tank 1;
[0090] S23, in the later stage of compound power generation, the eighth valve 26 and the ninth valve 27 are closed, the third valve 13 is opened, and only the transcritical CO2 power generation unit is kept in operation.
[0091] In the later stage of compound power generation, the system pathways are as follows Figure 5As shown, the geothermal water in most of the pore spaces of the hydrothermal heat storage 7 has been displaced by CO2, and the water content in the geothermal fluid at the outlet of the production well 10 has been reduced to the point where the flash evaporation and ORC power generation unit cannot be kept running stably. The eighth valve 26 and the ninth valve 27 are closed, and the third valve 13 is opened, leaving only the transcritical CO2 power generation unit running. When the CO2 flow rates in the injection well 4 and the production well 10 are consistent, the first valve 3 is closed to stop the operation of the CO2 injection unit.
[0092] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention provides a hydrothermal heat storage CO2 cycle heat extraction-power generation integrated system and method, using hydrothermal heat storage as heat extraction heat storage and CO2 storage space to achieve the purpose of "storage-extraction-use" integration, without the need to artificially create underground heat storage space, saving construction costs.
[0093] The present invention adopts CO2 as the circulating heat extracting working fluid, which has the characteristics of being environmentally friendly, economical, and easy to obtain. At the same time, its density is greatly affected by temperature. CO2 produces an obvious gravity difference between the injection well 4 and the production well 10. The working fluid pressure at the outlet of the production well 10 increases, which enhances the working capacity of the turbine inlet working fluid, improves the power generation performance of the system, and reduces the power consumption of the injected CO2, further reducing the operating cost.
[0094] The present invention can achieve geological storage of CO2, help achieve the dual carbon goals as soon as possible, and avoid problems such as ground subsidence and collapse caused by groundwater exploitation.
[0095] The present invention develops multiple operating modes of the ground composite power generation system, which can adjust the operating mode and structure according to the state of underground fluid, cope with the changes in the heat extraction performance of the hydrothermal heat storage CO2 cycle under long-term operating conditions, and maximize the utilization efficiency of geothermal fluid.
