Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy storage technology, specifically to a system and method for the thermochemical storage of waste heat from thermal power plants coupled with oxygen-enriched combustion utilization. Background Technology
[0002] Thermal power plants often generate waste heat that is not fully utilized for power generation. This waste heat can be recovered and utilized through various technologies, such as using low-temperature economizers to recover waste heat from flue gas to heat boiler feedwater, thereby improving energy conversion efficiency and reducing energy waste. However, significant energy losses still occur during combustion flue gas emissions and water circulation. The combustion of fossil fuels also produces substantial carbon dioxide emissions, making energy conservation, emission reduction, and emission reduction the primary goals that thermal power plants urgently need to achieve. On the other hand, oxy-fuel combustion technology uses pure oxygen or oxygen-enriched air as the combustion-supporting gas, enabling more complete fuel combustion. This not only improves combustion efficiency and heat utilization but also helps reduce pollutant emissions and improve the efficiency of subsequent carbon capture. These characteristics make oxy-fuel combustion technology of significant environmental and economic value in thermal power plants, but it also increases the operating costs of thermal power plants due to the need to provide a high concentration of oxygen.
[0003] Thermochemical energy storage technology stores and releases energy through reversible chemical reactions, representing a novel and efficient energy storage method. It converts thermal energy into the chemical energy of storage materials, offering higher energy density than sensible and latent heat storage, and enabling long-term energy storage, long-distance transportation, and reuse. However, thermochemical energy storage typically requires the reversible decomposition and synthesis of storage materials such as carbonates, hydroxides, metal hydrides, and metal oxides. This endothermic decomposition process generates a large amount of gaseous products, increasing the difficulty and cost of storing these products. Furthermore, current thermochemical energy storage technology is primarily applied to concentrated solar energy storage and concentrated solar power (CSP), and the intermittent nature of solar energy presents challenges to the start-up and shutdown processes of thermochemical energy storage systems. Summary of the Invention

[0014] High-temperature flue gas or steam bypass from a thermal power plant provides heat energy to an energy storage reactor. Within the reactor, the energy storage material undergoes an endothermic chemical reaction, and the solid products from this reaction are transported to a solid product storage container. Simultaneously, oxygen is transported to an oxygen storage tank. The solid product storage container then transports the solid products to an energy release reactor, where an exothermic reverse reaction occurs. The products from this exothermic reverse reaction are transported to an energy storage material storage container to provide energy storage material for the reactor. Oxygen from the oxygen storage tank is supplied to the oxygen-enriched combustion system to provide oxygen for the system.

[0021] Among them, M x O (y+2z) It is an energy storage material.
[0022] Furthermore, in the exothermic reverse reaction of the endothermic chemical reaction, the solid products of the endothermic chemical reaction are introduced into the exothermic reactor as reactants for the reverse reaction, with air as the heat energy medium.

The heat energy output end of the high-temperature flue gas or steam bypass of the thermal power plant is connected to the heat energy input end of the thermochemical energy storage and release reaction unit, providing the necessary heat energy for the energy storage reactor. At the same time, it makes full use of the heat carried by the flue gas of the thermal power plant and the heat carried by the steam that is easily wasted during low-load operation, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of thermal energy in the thermal power plant and reducing or avoiding energy waste. The thermochemical energy storage and release reaction unit and the energy storage reaction material storage container are sequentially and cyclically connected to form a loop. The energy storage chemical reaction products can be easily regenerated and recycled by releasing heat through oxidation reaction, effectively realizing the storage and efficient utilization of waste heat in thermal power plants and energy saving and consumption reduction. At the same time, the oxygen output end of the thermochemical energy storage and release reaction unit is connected to the oxygen-enriched combustion system to realize the continuous storage of waste heat in thermal power plants and the reduction of pollutant emissions, ensuring the stable operation of thermal power plants during low-load periods.
[0026] Furthermore, the thermochemical energy storage and release reaction unit includes an energy storage reactor, an energy release reactor, and a solid oxygen storage unit; the thermal energy input end of the energy storage reactor is connected to the high-temperature flue gas or steam bypass of the thermal power plant; the solid-gas output end of the energy storage reactor is connected to the solid oxygen storage unit, the solid product output end of the solid oxygen storage unit is connected to the input end of the energy release reactor, and the material output end of the energy release reactor is connected to the energy storage reaction material storage container; the gaseous product output end of the solid oxygen storage unit is connected to the oxygen-enriched combustion system; the energy storage reactor uses flue gas or steam from the high-temperature flue gas bypass or steam bypass of the thermal power plant as fuel. The heat medium fluid can stably supply the required heat for the energy storage reaction. The energy storage reactor stores solid and gaseous products separately through a solid oxygen storage unit and then transports them to the energy release reactor and the oxygen-enriched combustion system. The solid products are produced in the energy release reactor to obtain energy storage materials, which greatly improves the recycling of energy storage materials. The oxygen-enriched combustion system uses pure oxygen or oxygen-enriched air as combustion gas, which can reduce the theoretical air volume for fuel combustion in thermal power plant boilers, accelerate the fuel combustion rate, increase the theoretical flame temperature, and reduce flue gas emissions, thereby reducing pollutant and carbon dioxide emissions.
[0027] This invention also provides a method for the thermochemical storage and oxygen-enriched combustion utilization of waste heat from thermal power plants. The method involves an endothermic chemical reaction occurring in the energy storage material within an energy storage reactor, with the solid products from this reaction being transported to a solid product storage container, while the oxygen products are simultaneously transported to an oxygen storage tank. The solid product storage container then transports the solid products to an energy release reactor, where an exothermic reverse reaction occurs. The products of this exothermic reverse reaction are transported to an energy storage material storage container to provide energy storage material for the energy storage reactor. Oxygen from the oxygen storage tank is then supplied to the oxygen-enriched combustion system. This method enables continuous storage of waste heat from thermal power plants, ensuring stable operation during low-load periods. It also replaces the air separation unit, providing oxygen to the oxygen-enriched combustion system. The products from the energy storage chemical reaction can be easily regenerated through oxidation, releasing heat for recovery and utilization. This achieves the goals of waste heat storage and efficient utilization, energy conservation, emission reduction, and pollutant reduction from thermal power plants. Attached Figure Description
