DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] Figure 1It is a schematic diagram of a high-efficiency electric thermal energy storage power generation system. The system includes a condenser evaporator 2, a refrigeration compressor 3, an evaporator 4, a heat storage tank 9, a water vapor compressor 11, a condenser 15, a turbo expander 16 and a generator 17; wherein the heat storage tank 9 has a built-in steam generator.

[0019] The feed water 1 enters from the inlet of the condenser evaporator 2, and the outlet of the condenser evaporator 2 is respectively connected to the inlet of the water vapor compressor 11 and the inlet of the heat storage tank 9, the outlet of the water vapor compressor 11 is connected to the inlet of the heat storage tank 9, and the outlet of the heat storage tank 9 outputs high-temperature hot water 10.

[0020] After the feed water 1 enters the condenser evaporator 2, it is divided into two paths: one path is reduced in pressure to the set water vapor saturation pressure, absorbs heat in the condenser evaporator 2 and vaporizes into water vapor, the water vapor enters the water vapor compressor 11 and is compressed to the saturation pressure corresponding to the hot water, and then enters the heat storage tank 9; the other path is pressurized and directly enters the heat storage tank 9; the compressed water vapor and the pressurized water in the heat storage tank 9 are mixed to reach the saturated state hot water with the required thermodynamic parameters, forming a heat storage (semi-reverse Rankine) cycle.

[0021] The outlet of the refrigeration compressor 3 is connected to the working medium inlet of the condenser evaporator 2 , the working medium outlet of the condenser evaporator 2 is connected to the inlet of the evaporator 5 , and the outlet of the evaporator 4 is connected to the inlet of the refrigeration compressor 3 .

[0022] The working fluid coming out of the refrigeration compressor 3 enters the condenser evaporator 2 in turn to release heat, then enters the evaporator 4 after throttling and cooling to absorb heat from the ambient heat source, and finally enters the refrigeration compressor 3 again to increase the temperature and pressure, forming a complete vapor compression working fluid thermodynamic cycle, namely the reverse Rankine cycle.

[0023] The above process realizes electric heat storage, and the high-temperature hot water 10 can be used directly as heat. For example, if the water temperature is increased from 30°C to 120°C, the energy efficiency can reach above 3.2, and the exergy efficiency can reach above 70%.

[0024] The outlet of the turboexpander 16 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 15 , the outlet of the condenser 15 is connected to the inlet of the steam generator, the outlet of the steam generator is connected to the inlet of the turboexpander 16 , and the rotor of the turboexpander 16 is connected to the generator 17 .

[0025] The non-aqueous working medium absorbs heat in the (non-aqueous) steam generator built into the heat storage tank 9 and turns into steam, and enters the turbo expander 16 to expand and do work. The turbo expander 16 is connected to the generator 17 to convert the expansion work into electrical energy output. The non-aqueous working medium expands and enters the condenser 15, where it turns into liquid under the cooling of the cold source. After passing through the booster pump 13, it enters the non-aqueous steam generator for circulation, i.e., a closed Rankine cycle.

[0026] The above process realizes power generation after electric heat storage. Since the energy efficiency ratio of electric heat storage has reached 3.2, although the thermal efficiency of the Rankine cycle is low, its comprehensive efficiency is increased to more than 300% compared with the conventional cycle.

[0027] The system of the present invention has three operating modes: Electric heat storage method: operating a semi-reverse Rankine cycle system; Power generation method: operating a Rankine cycle system; Electric heat storage + power generation simultaneously: a semi-reverse Rankine cycle system and a Rankine cycle system operate simultaneously.

[0028] The present invention is based on the Rankine forward and reverse cycle electricity→heat (storage)→electricity system, realizing a new technology of green high-exergy electricity-heat mutual storage, which can greatly improve efficiency, save energy, and increase energy utilization. It can be widely used in various fields and is a leap forward in energy storage technology.

[0029] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical idea of ​​the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any changes made on the basis of the technical solution in accordance with the technical idea proposed by the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
