Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of energy conservation of integrated energy systems, and in particular relates to an ORC system driven by phase change energy storage and LNG cold energy. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid increase in the consumption of fossil energy, energy shortage has become one of the common problems faced by mankind, so it is necessary to vigorously develop renewable energy. As an abundant renewable energy, solar energy has broad application prospects. Since solar energy can be directly developed and utilized, more and more heating systems use solar energy as a power supply energy source. However, due to the influence of changes in natural conditions such as day and night, seasons, and weather, the utilization rate of solar energy heating is not high and the system is not stable enough. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize and improve the design of solar heating systems.
[0003] With the rapid development of cold chain logistics, data centers and other industries, the demand for cold energy is also increasing. As an emerging cold source, liquefied natural gas (LNG) cold energy can meet the diverse needs of the market. During the LNG liquefaction process, the temperature of LNG is about -162°C. This low temperature characteristic allows LNG to be used in a variety of cooling and refrigeration applications when it releases cold energy. Utilizing the cold energy of LNG can effectively improve energy utilization efficiency and reduce costs. However, in conventional cold energy storage, problems such as small heat storage capacity, large exothermic temperature fluctuations, and slow reaction speed are often encountered, which leads to LNG cold energy loss and low utilization efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize and improve the thermal storage unit. Summary of the invention

[0008] The organic Rankine cycle unit includes an evaporator, a first throttle valve, a first generator, a first expander, a working fluid pump and a condenser; one inlet of the evaporator is connected to the heat source pump in the solar heating unit, the other inlet of the evaporator is connected to the outlet of the working fluid pump, one outlet of the evaporator is connected to the LNG cold energy utilization unit through the first throttle valve, the other outlet of the evaporator is connected to the inlet of the first expander, the first expander is connected to the first generator, the first generator is connected to the phase change heat accumulator in the energy storage structure unit, the outlet of the first expander is connected to the inlet of the condenser, the outlet of the condenser is connected to the inlet of the working fluid pump, and the condenser is also connected to the LNG cold energy utilization unit.
[0009] The LNG cold energy utilization unit includes a liquefied natural gas storage tank, a liquefied natural gas pump, a second throttle valve, a heat exchanger, a second expander, a second generator, a cold storage heat exchanger and a natural gas supply device;
[0010] The outlet of the liquefied natural gas storage tank is connected to the inlet of the liquefied natural gas pump, the outlet of the liquefied natural gas pump is connected to the inlet of the second throttle valve, the outlet of the second throttle valve is connected to the inlet of the heat exchanger via the condenser in the organic Rankine cycle unit, the heat exchanger is connected to the outlet of the evaporator in the organic Rankine cycle unit via the first throttle valve in the organic Rankine cycle unit, the heat exchanger is connected to the inlet of the second expander, the heat exchanger is connected to the heat storage heat exchanger in the solar heating unit, the second expander is connected to the second generator, the outlet of the second expander is connected to the inlet of the cold storage heat exchanger, the outlet of the cold storage heat exchanger is connected to the phase change cold storage in the energy storage structure unit, the cold storage heat exchanger is also connected to the natural gas supply equipment, and the natural gas supply equipment is used to provide natural gas to users.
[0011] The energy storage structure unit includes a phase change heat accumulator and a phase change cold accumulator; one end of the phase change heat accumulator is connected to the heat storage heat exchanger in the solar heating unit, the other end of the phase change heat accumulator is connected to the first generator in the organic Rankine cycle unit, and the phase change cold accumulator is connected to the cold storage heat exchanger in the LNG cold energy utilization unit.
[0012] The solar collector and the heat storage heat exchanger in the solar heating unit are connected to form a heat collection circulation pipeline, and the heat storage heat exchanger outlet, the evaporator, the heat exchanger, and the heat storage heat exchanger inlet are connected in sequence to form a heating circulation pipeline. The heat collection circulation pipeline and the heating circulation pipeline both store heat exchange medium, and the heat exchange medium includes one or more of methane, ethane, propane, butane, isobutane, ethylene, propylene, difluoromethane, trifluoromethane, difluoroethane, trifluoroethane, tetrafluoroethane and pentafluoroethane.
[0013] The phase change heat storage device and the phase change cold storage device in the energy storage structure unit both store phase change material PCM, and the phase change material includes one or more of salts, waxes, and petroleum hydrocarbons.
[0014] Two phase change energy storage devices are used in the present invention, one is a phase change heat storage device between the solar heating unit and the organic Rankine cycle unit. The organic Rankine cycle unit uses a low-temperature heat source to generate electricity, and its additional electric energy can be efficiently combined with the phase change energy storage device to achieve energy storage and stable supply. In periods when solar energy is insufficient, such as at night or on cloudy days, this part of the stored energy can be used to effectively meet the heating demand. The phase change energy storage device can provide stable heat when needed by storing or releasing thermal energy when the material changes phase. This combination not only improves the efficiency of energy utilization, but also enhances the flexibility and reliability of the system. The other is a phase change cold storage device present in the energy storage structure unit. The phase change cold storage device can be used to efficiently store and utilize the cold energy of LNG. During the cold storage process, the phase change material absorbs the cold energy of LNG and undergoes phase change, thereby storing this cold energy. When the system needs to release cold energy, the phase change material releases the previously absorbed cold energy during the phase change process. Through this process, the system can provide stable cold energy during unstable LNG supply or peak demand periods. This not only improves the utilization efficiency of cold energy, but also reduces the immediate load on the cold energy supply system and optimizes the use and management of energy. This phase change energy storage method effectively balances the fluctuation of energy supply and improves the overall reliability and energy utilization efficiency of the system;
[0015] The LNG cold energy utilization unit is mainly composed of a liquefied natural gas storage tank, a liquefied natural gas pump, a throttle valve and a heat exchanger, an expander, a generator, and a cold storage heat exchanger. The liquefied natural gas pump extracts LNG from the liquefied natural gas storage tank and transports the liquid LNG to the next link, while increasing the pressure of the liquid LNG so that the liquid LNG can flow and be processed smoothly during the cold energy recovery or energy conversion process. The throttle valve controls the flow rate by adjusting the valve opening to achieve precise pressure regulation and flow control. After that, it enters the condenser as a cold source for heat exchange, transferring the cold energy of LNG to the medium that needs to be cooled to produce a refrigeration effect. Since liquefied natural gas LNG has huge cold energy potential, the ORC system cannot absorb all of it. The cold energy generated by the heat exchanger results in the cold energy being unable to be effectively utilized. The excess LNG cold energy needs to be further utilized. After the LNG undergoes secondary heat exchange in the heat exchanger, it becomes high-temperature and high-pressure natural gas. The high-temperature and high-pressure working fluid gas undergoes work in the expander to convert the internal energy into mechanical energy, driving the generator to generate electricity. The gaseous working fluid discharged into the expander becomes a low-temperature working fluid after work, and then enters the cold storage heat exchanger for heat exchange and temperature rise, storing its cold energy in the phase change cold storage device for use by the user's air conditioning side. Finally, the gaseous natural gas discharged from the cold storage heat exchanger enters the natural gas pipeline for use by the user (i.e., the natural gas supply equipment) after pressure regulation, metering, and odorization. Thus, a complete "electricity cooling trigeneration" system for the utilization of LNG cold energy is formed.
[0016] For the organic Rankine cycle unit, the main components include an evaporator, a generator, an expander, a working fluid pump and a condenser. When the external solar energy is sufficient, the heat energy of the evaporator is mainly provided by the solar heating unit. When the solar energy is insufficient, the additional electric energy generated by the organic Rankine cycle unit can be stored in the phase change energy storage device for use in the heat exchange process. The liquid working fluid is heated to a vaporized state through the evaporator, thereby providing high-temperature and high-pressure gas to the expander. The high-temperature and high-pressure working fluid gas (working fluid) converts its own internal energy into mechanical energy through the expander, and then returns to the condenser. At this time, the cold energy provided by the LNG cold energy utilization unit is used as the cold source of the condenser to cool the fluid and convert it into liquid. Driven by the working fluid pump, it returns from the condenser to the evaporator to complete a complete cycle.
[0017] The present invention is based on phase change energy storage and LNG cold energy drive. By optimizing the setting of the heating system and the fluid heat storage equipment, it effectively solves the problems of small heat storage capacity, large volume, large thermal inertia and unstable output of the common heating system. It also greatly improves the energy utilization rate by making full use of LNG cold energy.
[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0019] 1. The system of the present invention utilizes phase change heat storage and cold storage equipment to store energy. Phase change materials can store a large amount of thermal energy during the phase change process. Compared with traditional energy storage methods, it has a higher energy density. Moreover, phase change energy storage is carried out at a specific temperature and can provide a stable temperature output. The stored cold or heat can be released during high-demand periods, which helps to balance the grid load and reduce peak power consumption pressure. This energy storage technology provides an efficient and reliable thermal energy management solution.
[0020] 2. The present invention adopts a multi-heat source supply system, combining solar energy and additional electricity generated by the ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) system, and heats through a heat exchange device. This design ensures that thermal energy can still be effectively utilized during peak demand periods, thereby improving the flexibility and stability of the system.
[0021] 3. The present invention utilizes the low temperature characteristics of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to achieve efficient storage and utilization of cold energy. It cools the working fluid, stores cold energy, and releases it for power generation or refrigeration during peak demand periods. It combines the production of electricity, cooling and natural gas to form an efficient "electricity, cooling and gas trigeneration" system. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] During the cycle of the organic Rankine cycle unit, the outlet of the working fluid pump 8 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 9 via the evaporator 4 and the first expander 7 in sequence, and the inlet of the condenser 9 is then connected to the inlet of the working fluid pump 8, so that the working fluid pump 8 pushes the working fluid from the condenser 9 back to the evaporator 4, forming a complete cycle. The additional electric energy generated by the second generator 6 of the organic Rankine cycle unit is stored in the phase change heat storage device 10 to meet the heating demand during the period when solar energy is insufficient.
[0031] The outlet of the working fluid pump 8 is connected to the inlet of the evaporator 4, and the heat exchange working fluid is transported into the evaporator 4, where it absorbs the heat energy from the solar heating unit and becomes a high-pressure and high-temperature working fluid; the outlet of the evaporator 4 is connected to the inlet of the expander 7, and the high-temperature and high-pressure working fluid enters the expander 7 to expand and work, thereby driving the generator 6 to generate additional electric energy; the generator 6 is connected to the phase change heat accumulator 10, and the additional electric energy generated by the generator 6 is stored in the phase change heat accumulator 10 for use as a heat source when the light is insufficient; the outlet of the expander 7 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 9, and the working fluid after expansion and work in the expander 7 enters the condenser 9 for cooling.
