[0032] 5) When the sunlight is insufficient and the battery 11 is low on power, the battery 11 is neither charged nor discharged. If the temperature of the high-temperature reducing gas is 900°C and the proportion of hydrogen in the reducing gas is higher than 33%, the proportion of hydrogen in the reducing gas is reduced; if the temperature of the high-temperature reducing gas is 900°C and the proportion of hydrogen in the reducing gas has reached 33%, the temperature of the high-temperature reducing gas is reduced.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0034] (1) The process flow of solar power generation - electric hydrogen production - electric heating - hydrogen metallurgy was proposed, which improved the utilization rate of renewable energy and reduced carbon emissions in high-carbon industries.

[0035] (2) The impact of solar energy fluctuations on the cogeneration system is smoothed by parameters such as the molten salt storage tank / battery charging and discharging mode, hydrogen production rate, and reducing gas temperature, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the system under various light intensities.

[0046] The hydrogen-rich metallurgical system includes a reduction melting furnace 14; high-temperature reducing gas from the outlet of the electric heater 13 is fed into the reduction melting furnace 14 to generate molten iron.

[0047] Taking the solar thermal power generation system as an example, the solar power generation system selects the solar thermal power generation system, and maintains the temperature of the hot molten salt at the outlet of the absorber 3 by adjusting the power of the cold molten salt pump 4. The steam generator 8 is a partition-type heat exchanger, and the heat exchange capacity of the steam generator 8 is adjusted by adjusting the power of the hot molten salt pump 7, thereby adjusting the power output of the generator 9.

[0048] The solar power generation system selects a photothermal power generation system, and the sum of the electricity fed into the electrolytic cell 12 and the electric heater 13 is equal to the electricity output by the generator 9.

[0049] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the electrolytic cell 12 is an alkaline water electrolysis cell in consideration of commercial maturity.

[0050] Taking into account the temperature requirement for reducing iron ore in the reduction melting furnace 14, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the temperature range of the high-temperature reducing gas at the outlet of the electric heater 13 is 800°C to 1000°C.

[0051] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in order to improve the utilization rate of the reducing gas, the proportion of hydrogen fed into the reducing melting furnace 14 to the reducing gas increases with increasing temperature. When the temperature is 800°C, the proportion of hydrogen to the reducing gas is 21% to 65%. When the temperature is 900°C, the proportion of hydrogen to the reducing gas is 33% to 78%. When the temperature is 1000°C, the proportion of hydrogen to the reducing gas is 40% to 88%.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, an operation method of a solar-driven electricity-heat-hydrogen-iron cogeneration system is shown. In this embodiment, the solar power generation system adopts a photothermal power generation system. The operation method is as follows:

[0053] 1) When the cogeneration system is operating at the design operating conditions, the flow rate from the outlet of the absorber 3 into the hot molten salt storage tank 6 is equal to the molten salt flow rate from the hot molten salt storage tank 6 into the steam generator 8, the temperature of the high-temperature reducing gas is 900°C, and the proportion of hydrogen in the reducing gas is 33% to 78%;

[0054] 2) When there is sufficient sunlight and the capacity of the molten salt storage tank 6 is sufficient, the flow rate from the outlet of the absorber 3 into the molten salt storage tank is greater than the molten salt flow rate from the molten salt storage tank 6 into the steam generator 8. At this time, the temperature of the high-temperature reducing gas is 900°C, and the proportion of hydrogen in the reducing gas is 33% to 78%;

[0055] 3) When there is sufficient sunlight and the capacity of the molten salt storage tank 6 is insufficient, the flow rate of the absorber 3 outlet flowing into the molten salt storage tank 6 is less than or equal to the molten salt flow rate of the molten salt storage tank 6 flowing into the steam generator 8. At this time, if the temperature of the high-temperature reducing gas is at 900°C and the proportion of hydrogen in the reducing gas is less than 78%, increase the proportion of hydrogen in the reducing gas; if the temperature of the high-temperature reducing gas is at 900°C and the proportion of hydrogen in the reducing gas has reached 78%, increase the temperature of the high-temperature reducing gas;

[0056] 4) When the sunlight is insufficient and there is sufficient molten salt in the molten salt storage tank 6, the flow rate from the outlet of the absorber 3 into the molten salt storage tank 6 is less than the molten salt flow rate from the molten salt storage tank 6 into the steam generator 8. At this time, the temperature of the high-temperature reducing gas is 900°C, and the proportion of hydrogen in the reducing gas is 33% to 78%;

[0057] 5) When there is insufficient light and insufficient molten salt in the molten salt storage tank 6, the flow rate of the absorber 3 outlet flowing into the molten salt storage tank 6 is equal to the molten salt flow rate of the molten salt storage tank 6 flowing into the steam generator 8. At this time, if the temperature of the high-temperature reducing gas is at 900°C and the proportion of hydrogen in the reducing gas is higher than 33%, reduce the proportion of hydrogen in the reducing gas; if the temperature of the high-temperature reducing gas is at 900°C and the proportion of hydrogen in the reducing gas has reached 33%, reduce the temperature of the high-temperature reducing gas.

[0058] The solar power generation system can choose photovoltaic power generation and solar thermal power generation. Part of the generated electricity enters the water electrolysis hydrogen production system to produce hydrogen, and the other part enters the electric heating system to heat the reducing gas mixed with hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The high-temperature reducing gas enters the hydrogen-rich metallurgical system to reduce iron ore to produce molten iron; when solar energy is sufficient, the solar energy can be consumed by increasing the cold molten salt flow / battery charging, increasing the hydrogen production rate and hydrogen temperature, etc. When solar energy is insufficient, the solar energy consumption can be reduced by reducing the cold molten salt flow / battery discharge, reducing the hydrogen production rate and reducing gas temperature, etc., alleviating the impact of solar energy fluctuations on the co-generation system and maintaining the safe operation of the system; this system completes the "green electricity" to "green hydrogen" production, and through the "green hydrogen" metallurgical process, effectively improves the utilization rate of solar energy and significantly reduces the carbon emissions of metallurgical processes. It is an effective way to absorb new energy and reduce carbon emissions in high-carbon industries.

At this time, the temperature of the high-temperature reducing gas is 900° C., and the proportion of hydrogen in the reducing gas is 33% to 78%; 5) When the sunlight is insufficient and the battery (11) is low on power, the battery (11) is neither charged nor discharged. If the temperature of the high-temperature reducing gas is 900° C. and the proportion of hydrogen in the reducing gas is higher than 33%, the proportion of hydrogen in the reducing gas is reduced. If the temperature of the high-temperature reducing gas is 900° C. and the proportion of hydrogen in the reducing gas has reached 33%, the temperature of the high-temperature reducing gas is reduced.
