Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power system energy storage and relates to a supported liquid-solid two-phase heat storage and release cluster thermal well device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, solar and wind power generation is unstable, requiring extensive deep peak shaving for coal-fired units. Existing solar thermal energy storage projects, including decoupled molten salt energy storage projects with cold and hot tanks from coal-fired units, require over 20,000 tons of nitrate to reach a storage capacity of 100MW. With the gradual growth of the electricity spot market, nitrate consumption is increasing significantly year by year, and nitrate prices are also rising sharply, significantly increasing the construction costs of molten salt energy storage projects. The large-scale use of nitrates also complicates the management of major hazardous sources of hazardous chemicals by production units, making on-site salt leakage response extremely difficult. Therefore, a molten salt energy storage device is needed that offers large storage capacity, low cost, minimal heat loss, minimal susceptibility to harsh environments, ease of maintenance, and easy safety management. Summary of the Invention

Then, it is sprayed out by the molten salt spiral uniformly distributed spraying device and filled into the solid heat storage medium for heat storage. After that, it sinks to the position of the molten salt precipitation device and flows into the molten salt collection box.

[0015] This invention discloses a supported liquid-solid two-phase heat storage and release cluster thermal well device, comprising several thermal well devices.

[0044] Example 4

[0045] The thermal well unit utilizes electric thermal storage to store heat. Each thermal well unit can achieve a storage capacity of 50MWh-70MWh. If 16 cluster thermal well units operate at full load, the storage capacity can reach 800MWh-1120MWh. The cluster thermal well unit can be replicated in a 16-unit configuration, significantly increasing the storage capacity to 2000MWh. The thermal well unit primarily uses a solid thermal storage medium (16) for energy storage, with liquid molten salt acting as an intermediate heat transfer medium. With its high operating temperature, high thermal stability, high specific heat capacity, high convective heat transfer coefficient, low viscosity, and low saturated vapor pressure, the thermal well unit provides a green, environmentally friendly, safe, and stable large-scale medium- and high-temperature thermal storage solution. It solves the peak-shaving problem of coupled coal-fired power units and the economical heating and steam supply problems of industrial parks.

[0046] The specific working process of this invention is as follows:

[0047] When the hot well unit is started from a cold state, medium-pressure steam is fed back to the steam-water system of the hot well unit to ensure that the temperature of the molten salt collection box 10 reaches 170°C. Then, the high-temperature molten salt pump 11 can be started and the 6KV molten salt electric heater 7 can be put into operation. At the same time, the back-feeding steam operation is stopped and the drain valve to the drain expansion container is closed.

[0048] When the thermal well device is storing heat, all electric valves of the steam-water system are closed. Liquid molten salt is circulated inside the thermal well device by the high-temperature molten salt pump 11. During the circulation process, the 6KV molten salt electric heater 7 is put into operation to ensure that the temperature of the solid heat storage medium 16 at the top and middle of the thermal well device is maintained above 400℃. When the temperature of the molten salt collection box 10 approaches 300℃, the heat storage process is completed. First, the 6KV molten salt electric heater 7 is stopped, and then the high-temperature molten salt pump 11 is stopped.

[0049] When the thermal well device releases heat, the control valve on the medium-pressure steam pipeline 5 is opened, and the unit feedwater electric valve is opened to deliver 150°C water to the steam-water system inside the thermal well device for heat absorption, thereby generating high-temperature steam that meets the parameter requirements. During the heat release process of the thermal well device, when the temperature of the molten salt collection tank 10 drops to 170°C, the feedwater electric control valve is closed and the high-temperature molten salt pump 11 is started to balance the temperature of the low-temperature molten salt at the bottom with the solid heat storage medium 16 at the top. When the temperature of the molten salt collection tank 10 reaches 230°C, the high-temperature molten salt pump 11 is stopped, and the heat release of the thermal well device ends.

[0050] The thermal well 2, supported by the thermal well steel frame 1, has a compact structure, small footprint, and uniform stress distribution throughout the device, reducing the occurrence of molten salt leakage. Because it is suspended, the thermal well device expands freely in a hot state, with minimal contact area with the external environment and minimal heat loss. The cluster expansion of the thermal well steel frame 1 can be carried out by replicating individual units.

[0051] The spiral tube bank 4 achieves a stable supply of outlet steam parameters by varying the tube diameter and adjusting the density of the temperature field. Because the spiral tube bank 4 is surrounded by a solid heat storage medium 16, its heat exchange efficiency is high. During the heat release process of the thermal well device, the high-temperature molten salt pump 11 can be started to ensure that the high-temperature molten salt fills the gaps in the solid heat storage medium 16, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the spiral tube bank 4.

[0052] The molten salt precipitation device 15 is located below the molten salt level in the molten salt collection tank 10 and is equipped with annular through holes. The holes are denser at the bottom and gradually become more sparser upwards, with a hole diameter not exceeding 1.5 mm. An inverted funnel is arranged in the middle of the molten salt precipitation device 15 to serve as the surface area for molten salt precipitation. The hole spacing of the inverted funnel must also meet the above requirements. This ensures that when the high-temperature molten salt pump 11 is operating at maximum power, the amount of molten salt flowing out of the molten salt precipitation device 15 is greater than the flow rate of molten salt into the thermal well device. When the thermal well device is operating at full power, the minimum liquid level in the molten salt collection tank 10 is greater than 500 mm.
