Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of energy conversion, and relates to a green electricity energy conversion system and method based on electrocatalytic ammonia production and ammonia combustion. Background Art

[0002] Ammonia (NH3) is a naturally occurring zero-carbon fuel composed of one nitrogen atom and three hydrogen atoms. It boasts high energy density and a high hydrogen storage density, with a hydrogen content per unit volume exceeding four times that of compressed hydrogen. Ammonia, a product of nitrogen and hydrogen synthesis, can be liquefied and stored under standard conditions (at -33°C under atmospheric pressure or at 1.03 MPa at room temperature).

[0003] Currently, industrial ammonia production typically uses the Harper-Bosch process, which produces hydrogen from water or methane. Ammonia is then synthesized from hydrogen and nitrogen at 723-873K and 10-25MPa. This synthesis process consumes significant energy, and the efficiency of a single cycle is only 15-25%. In recent years, researchers have discovered that ammonia can be produced directly from nitrogen and water using a noble metal electrolyte membrane at room temperature and pressure. This method offers lower costs than the Harper-Bosch process, and the efficiency can be increased to over 60% by adding heating.

[0004] Wind power and photovoltaic power are widely recognized as green electricity, and solar and wind power are also renewable energy sources. However, these two methods of generating electricity have significant limitations. Wind and photovoltaic power are significantly impacted by the environment. First, unstable power generation prevents the electricity generated by these two methods from being integrated into the grid. Second, these power generation methods are typically located in western China or offshore areas. These two factors have limited their use to small, localized areas, significantly hindering their widespread adoption.

[0005] Patent CN118775899A discloses a natural gas-ammonia combustion system coupled with green hydrogen to produce ammonia. The system comprises an ammonia production subsystem and a combustion subsystem. The ammonia production subsystem includes an electrolysis unit, a water storage tank, an oxygen storage tank, a hydrogen storage tank, an ammonia production kettle, and a nitrogen storage tank. The combustion subsystem includes a fuel mixing unit, a combustion chamber, a steam generator, a nitrogen oxide treatment unit, a carbon-nitrogen separation unit, and a carbon dioxide storage tank. An ammonia storage tank is located between the fuel mixing unit and the ammonia production kettle. However, this patent has several shortcomings: First, hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of water, which is then reacted with nitrogen to produce ammonia, a traditional Harper-Bosch process with low efficiency. Second, the patent incorporates natural gas, which fails to achieve the goal of a zero-carbon full-cycle system. Third, the patent uses green electricity electrolysis to produce hydrogen, followed by ammonia production. Ultimately, the ammonia is used only to make urea and has nothing to do with power generation.

[0006] Patent CN115838937A discloses a low-carbon emission system and method combining electrochemical technology with coal-fired ammonia mixing technology. The system comprises: a user terminal, a coal-fired ammonia mixing power generation device, an electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reactor, an electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reactor, and a renewable energy power generation device. The power outlet, nitrogen outlet, and carbon dioxide outlet of the coal-fired ammonia mixing power generation device are connected to the user terminal, the electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reactor, and the electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reactor, respectively. The power outlet of the renewable energy power generation device is connected to the electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reactor and the electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reactor, respectively. Although this patent also uses the electrocatalytic ammonia production process, the combustion of ammonia and coal drives the generator, which does not meet the full-cycle zero-carbon requirement.

[0022] Furthermore, the combustion device uses stored ammonia and oxygen as fuel and oxidant for ammonia combustion, and ammonia is introduced into the combustion device to burn and drive the generator. However, since the combustion characteristics of ammonia are poor, the produced oxygen can also be introduced into the combustion device to promote the combustion of ammonia fuel and improve the combustion efficiency of the combustion device.
