[0026] In the molten salt energy storage system, the trough collector adopts high-efficiency photothermal conversion technology and is specially designed to maximize the absorption of solar radiation energy. The outlet of the collector is connected to an electric heater, which is equipped with a high-power density heating element to ensure that the molten salt can obtain sufficient heat supplement when solar radiation is insufficient. The outlet of the electric heater is directly connected to the high-temperature molten salt storage tank; in the energy output stage, the molten salt pump serves as a fluid conveying device to transport the high-temperature molten salt from the storage tank to the steam generator. In this process, the molten salt maintains its thermodynamic stability while transferring heat to ensure the efficiency and safety of energy conversion. The steam generator is designed to efficiently convert the thermal energy of the molten salt into steam energy.
[0027] A nuclear-based molten salt energy storage coupled pumped storage peak-shaving energy system is carried out in the following steps:
[0028] In the heat storage part of the molten salt energy storage system, the trough collector uses a series of concave reflectors to maximize the focus and absorption of thermal energy from solar radiation. These collectors concentrate the thermal energy of sunlight onto the flowing molten salt, effectively heating it to a high temperature state. When there is insufficient sunlight or the nuclear power plant needs to reduce the load, the system is connected to the power supply line through an electric heater, and the molten salt is supplemented with heating using excess electricity generated by pumped storage or the reactor to ensure a continuous supply of energy. The heated molten salt is stored in a high-temperature molten salt storage tank, ready for energy output.
[0029] In the heat release phase of the molten salt energy storage system, the high-temperature molten salt is pumped out of the storage tank by the molten salt pump 1 and transported to the steam generator, where it exchanges heat with water to generate high-pressure steam. This steam is used to drive the steam turbine and generate electricity through the generator 1 mechanically connected to it. After cooling, the used molten salt is transported to the low-temperature molten salt storage tank by the molten salt pump 2 for reuse.
[0030] In the nuclear power generation steam supply system, the outlet of the nuclear reactor is directly connected to the inlet of the steam generator, ensuring that the heat energy generated by the nuclear reactor can be effectively transferred and converted into steam. The outlet of the steam generator is then connected to the inlet of the steam turbine and the inlet of the high-temperature industrial steam pipeline. In addition, the outlet of the steam turbine is connected to the inlet of the generator through a high-efficiency bearing, thereby converting mechanical energy into electrical energy, and transmitting the electrical energy to the power supply line through the outlet of the generator 1.
[0031] In the pumped storage system, the electric motor is specially designed to drive the water pump to maximize the conversion of electrical energy into water potential energy. The water pump has an efficient fluid transport capacity, pumping water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir, effectively storing potential energy. During periods of high load on the power grid, the outlet of the upper reservoir is connected to the inlet of the turbine, and the gravity potential energy of the water is used to drive the turbine, thereby converting the potential energy into mechanical energy. The turbine is connected to the generator 2 through bearings, which efficiently converts mechanical energy into electrical energy to supply power to the power grid. In this process, the pumped storage system not only ensures the effective storage and rapid release of energy, but also improves the flexibility of response to changes in power grid load.
[0032] Among them, in the molten salt energy storage system, the trough collector adopts high-efficiency photothermal conversion technology and is specially designed to maximize the absorption of solar radiation energy.

The outlet of the electric heater is directly connected to the high-temperature molten salt storage tank; in the energy output stage, the molten salt pump serves as a fluid conveying device to transport the high-temperature molten salt from the storage tank to the steam generator. In this process, the molten salt maintains its thermodynamic stability while transferring heat to ensure the efficiency and safety of energy conversion. The steam generator is designed to efficiently convert the thermal energy of the molten salt into steam energy.
[0033] In the pumped storage system, when the power demand is low, the motor drives the water pump to transport water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir, converting the electrical energy into the potential energy of water for storage. During the period of high power demand, the water stored in the upper reservoir is released to the lower reservoir through the turbine, and the turbine converts the potential energy of water into electrical energy through its mechanical connection with the generator 2 and transmits it to the power grid.

[0040] The heat storage system of the molten salt energy storage system uses a series of concave mirrors to face the sun during the period of sufficient sunlight exposure, and the trough collector 1 concentrates the heat energy of the sunlight to heat the flowing molten salt, increase its temperature, and heat the molten salt to a high temperature state, providing high-quality thermal energy for subsequent energy storage and conversion processes. At the same time, when the light is insufficient or the nuclear power plant needs to reduce the load, the excess electricity generated by the pumped storage or reactor is connected to the electric heater 2 through the power supply line to supplement the heating of the molten salt. The heated high-temperature molten salt is stored in the high-temperature molten salt storage tank 3.
[0041] In the heat release system of the molten salt energy storage system, during the peak period of energy demand, the high-temperature molten salt in the high-temperature molten salt storage tank 3 is transported to the steam generator 5 through the molten salt pump A4, and heat exchanged with water to generate high-pressure steam. The generated steam can be used to drive the steam turbine 6 and generate electricity through the generator A7. The used molten salt is cooled and transported to the low-temperature molten salt storage tank 10 through the molten salt pump B9 to be recycled again.
[0042] In the nuclear power generation steam supply system, the heat energy generated by the reactor 8 is used to heat the water in the steam generator 5 to generate high-temperature and high-pressure steam. This steam can be used to drive the steam turbine 6, and then generate electricity through the generator A7 mechanically connected to it. At the same time, part of the steam can also be extracted to supply chemical companies.
[0043] In the pumped storage system, when the electricity demand is low, the motor 13 drives the water pump 12 to pump water from the lower reservoir 16 to the upper reservoir 11. In this process, the electrical energy is converted into the potential energy of the water. When the electricity demand is at a peak, the water stored in the upper reservoir 11 is released to the lower reservoir 16 through the turbine 14. The mechanical connection between the turbine 14 and the generator B15 converts the potential energy of the water into electrical energy, which is output to the power supply line.

[0046] The molten salt energy storage system includes a molten salt heat release system and a molten salt heat storage system. The molten salt of the molten salt heat release system enters the molten salt heat storage system after being heated by the molten salt electric heater 1. The molten salt of the molten salt heat storage system returns to the molten salt heat release system after releasing heat through the steam generator 7. Specifically, the molten salt heat release system includes a low-temperature molten salt storage tank 10, the outlet of the low-temperature molten salt storage tank 10 is connected to the molten salt electric heater 1 through a molten salt pump 2, and the molten salt heat storage system includes a high-temperature molten salt storage tank 3, the outlet of the high-temperature molten salt storage tank 3 is connected to the steam generator 7 through a molten salt pump 1, and the two ends of the steam generator 7 are respectively connected to the outlet of the high-temperature molten salt storage tank 3 and the inlet of the low-temperature molten salt storage tank 10.
[0047] Among them, in the molten salt heat absorption stage: the molten salt electric heater 1 is used to store part of the electricity generated by the nuclear power generator set 6 in the molten salt in the form of heat. The cold molten salt in the low-temperature molten salt storage tank 10 is pressurized by the molten salt pump 2 and connected to the molten salt electric heater 1, and enters the high-temperature molten salt storage tank 3 after electrical heating, where the heat is stored.

[0049] Among them, the core of the molten salt energy storage system is to use molten salt as the energy storage medium. Molten salt is mainly used in its molten state in the heat storage system, and its temperature range depends on the inherent characteristics of the molten salt. The freezing point temperature of molten salts of different components varies. Generally, the freezing point of molten salt is around 180-250°C, and the maximum operating temperature can reach around 500-600°C. This enables the molten salt energy storage system to store a large amount of thermal energy at high temperatures, providing the necessary regulation capabilities for the power grid.

At the same time, the system can extract part of the high-temperature steam to supply chemical enterprises and other industrial uses, realizing the dual functions of power supply and steam supply.
[0051] The pumped storage system includes an upper reservoir 11 and a lower reservoir 16, as well as a water pump 12 and a motor 13 connecting the two reservoirs. During low load of the power grid, the motor 13 drives the water pump 12 to pump water from the lower reservoir 16 to the upper reservoir 11, converting electrical energy into water potential energy and storing it. When the power grid is highly loaded, the water stored in the upper reservoir 11 is released to the lower reservoir 16 through the turbine 14, and the turbine 14 is mechanically connected to the generator 2 to convert the water potential energy into electrical energy and transmit it to the power grid.
[0052] The present invention discloses a nuclear-based molten salt energy storage coupled pumped storage peak-shaving energy system, which effectively integrates nuclear power generation steam supply, molten salt energy storage and pumped storage technology to cope with the fluctuation and regulation needs of the power grid load. When the power grid dispatching load drops to, for example, 40% Pr, if it is lower than the minimum stable operating load of nuclear power generation (such as 50% Pr), the reactor 8 and steam turbine generator set 6 in the system still operate above the minimum stable load (such as 50% Pr) to avoid further reduction of the load. At this time, the system uses the extra electricity (Δ=10% Pr) generated by the steam turbine generator set 6 to heat the molten salt through the molten salt electric heater 1, and converts the electrical energy into thermal energy storage in the molten salt.
