Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of salt-forming technology for high-altitude solar thermal power stations, and in particular to a salt-forming system and method for a heat storage system of a high-altitude solar thermal power station. Background Art
[0002] The molten salt salting system is one of the key parts of a solar thermal power station. Its function is to convert solid molten salt into liquid high-temperature molten salt before entering the commissioning operation, and keep it in a molten state throughout the life of the power station. The existing molten salt salting storage system consists of a salting tank, a molten salt tank, and a conveying pipeline connecting the two. The solid powdered molten salt is first heated to a molten state in the salting tank, and then the high-temperature liquid molten salt is transported to the high-temperature molten salt tank through a conveying pipeline by a molten salt pump. However, in the actual working process, especially at the beginning of the molten salt salting, due to the limited heating space of the solid molten salt, a large amount of solid molten salt is difficult to melt synchronously, and the solid molten salt will continue to collapse during the melting process, causing solid-liquid separation. After that, there will be large pieces of solid molten salt floating above the high-temperature liquid molten salt or precipitated in the high-temperature liquid molten salt, which makes the molten salt unevenly heated, and it is difficult for the solid molten salt to further absorb heat and dissolve, which increases the electric heat consumption of the salt and reduces the salting rate. The solid molten salt may also block the conveying pipeline and reduce the working efficiency of the molten salt pump.
[0003] In addition, the molten salt system consumes a lot of energy to completely melt the solid molten salt into liquid molten salt, and in the process of transporting the high-temperature molten salt from the molten salt system to the molten salt storage system, due to the low temperature of the transmission pipeline, the high-temperature molten salt will lose heat during the transmission process, especially in cold areas such as the northwest, where the heat loss is greater, thus affecting the temperature stability of the heat storage molten salt. In the molten salt tank storing high-temperature liquid molten salt in the molten salt storage system of the prior art, as the storage time of the molten salt increases, the temperature of the liquid molten salt in the molten salt tank will gradually decrease, and it cannot provide a temperature-stable heat storage medium for the solar thermal power station.
[0004] On this basis, currently, there is only one solar thermal project under construction in the world with a construction area belonging to a high-altitude area (sea wave height exceeding 3500m), namely the Zabuye project in Tibet. However, as a large-scale, resource-rich, far-reaching, challenging, environmentally friendly, regionally focused, isolated grid-source-grid-load-storage project, the Zabuye project in Tibet has no project experience support. However, since the air in high-altitude areas also has the characteristics of low oxygen content and low air pressure, and the ambient temperature is extremely cold, the project is large in scale, and the molten salt transportation range is wide, especially the project trial operation is in winter, the impact of unfavorable factors such as low external air pressure and extremely low ambient temperature is increased. Therefore, how to ensure the stability, continuity and low energy consumption of the molten salt system of the solar thermal power station is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: In view of the environmental characteristics of the 4,500-meter plateau area where the salt-making system operates and the challenges faced under low temperature conditions in winter, this invention proposes a set of optimized technical solutions for the salt-making system. By strengthening the ability to cope with low pressure, low temperature and continuous and stable operation under complex working conditions, the salt-making process can be operated efficiently, safely and reliably. The specific technical measures are summarized as follows: 1. Improved control logic to ensure continuous and stable operation in low-temperature environments: In response to the need for stable operation under extremely cold conditions on the plateau, the salt-forming system introduced two sets of negative feedback control logics: the first set of control logic uses the temperature measurement point feedback between the inner wall of the hot salt tank and the salt-forming tank and the control of the second molten salt pump to prevent the salt-forming tank from being overheated and causing excessive injection of high-temperature molten salt into the hot salt tank, thereby causing the hot salt tank to expand due to overheating and causing structural damage; the second set of control logic uses the temperature measurement point of the salt-forming tank and the feedback control of the first molten salt pump to automatically increase the flow rate of the first molten salt pump when the temperature of the salt-forming tank drops too low, and send more molten salt into the molten salt furnace for heating and then recirculate it to the salt-forming tank, thereby preventing the problem of molten salt crystallization and blockage in the tank due to insufficient salt-forming tank temperature.
[0017] 2. Technical measures to deal with low air pressure: In view of the problem of thin air and low external air pressure in plateau areas, the fan is equipped with plateau-specific equipment. This fan has been optimized to improve insulation performance and is specifically designed to resist the problem of decreased air resistance caused by low air pressure. In addition, the supporting motors are all high-power models to compensate for the impact of motor power reduction (reduced load capacity) under plateau conditions, ensuring that the fan and motor can provide sufficient power and operate reliably in high-altitude environments.
[0018] 3. Technical measures to deal with low temperature environment: In order to solve the problem that the extremely low ambient temperature in winter may cause molten salt to condense in the pipeline, an insulation layer is installed on the outside of all pipelines involving the flow of molten salt. The insulation design can effectively isolate the influence of the extremely cold environment on the cooling of the molten salt, and at the same time ensure that the flow temperature drop of the molten salt is controlled within a low range during operation, thereby avoiding the threat of molten salt condensation to the operation of the system. This improvement provides an important guarantee for low temperature conditions in winter.
[0019] In short, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) Improved system adaptability: By adopting plateau-specific fans and high-power motors, the problem of reduced equipment output efficiency caused by low air pressure in the plateau is effectively overcome, making the system more adaptable to the environment. Whether it is a thin air environment or complex electrical conditions, the equipment can operate safely and stably, providing complete protection for production in extreme environments.
[0020] (2) Enhanced cold resistance of the system: The design of the pipeline insulation layer successfully alleviated the impact of extreme cold weather on the fluidity of molten salt, ensuring that the molten salt always remains in a liquid state under low temperature conditions. By reducing the heat loss of the system and maintaining the stability of the temperature of the molten salt medium, it not only avoids the risk of possible blockage, but also extends the service life of the equipment.
[0021] (3) Ensures the structural strength and stability of the system: The first set of negative feedback control logic dynamically monitors and adjusts the flow rate of the second molten salt pump to strictly control the speed and amount of high-temperature molten salt entering the hot salt tank, so that the thermodynamic state of the hot salt tank within the expansion range can be controlled, effectively preventing damage to the container structure due to excessive thermal expansion, and ensuring the structural reliability of the system during long-term continuous operation.
[0022] (4) Strengthened the low temperature compensation capability of the system: The second set of negative feedback control logic automatically adjusts the flow rate and delivery rate of the molten salt pump according to the real-time temperature changes in the salt tank, and quickly increases the temperature of the circulating molten salt in the salt tank to ensure that the system as a whole remains within the effective working range. This dynamic compensation mechanism not only avoids freezing and blockage, but also effectively improves the continuity and efficiency of the production process in low temperature environments.
[0023] (5) Improved the intelligent operation and safety of the system: The two sets of negative feedback control logic complement each other, realizing a complete set of closed-loop feedback management from real-time monitoring to dynamic adjustment. The entire salt system can accurately identify different abnormal working conditions and quickly take automatic adjustment measures, which significantly reduces the difficulty of manual operation and the risk of misoperation, while ensuring a more intelligent and safe operation process.
[0024] (6) Helps achieve efficient and reliable production goals: Comprehensive technical improvement measures have greatly enhanced the adaptability of the salt system under special conditions (such as low pressure on the plateau and extreme low temperature in winter), thereby ensuring that the production equipment can operate stably and uninterruptedly 24 hours a day. This optimized design not only improves production efficiency, but also significantly reduces the risk of unplanned shutdowns or accidents caused by environmental factors, bringing obvious benefits from the perspective of economic benefits and maintenance costs.
[0025] In summary, this salt system effectively overcomes the adverse effects of low pressure in plateau areas and low temperatures in winter on the production process through reasonable equipment selection, improved insulation measures and innovative control logic design, and significantly improves the adaptability and reliability of the system in special environments. The multiple improvement measures proposed in this technical solution not only reflect the customized design concept for complex working conditions, but also have strong application and promotion value in similar technical fields.
