This steam drives the steam turbine generator to efficiently convert thermal energy into electrical energy. Ultimately, the electrical energy is output through the three-phase AC power grid for use by users or fed back to the grid, achieving efficient use of energy.

[0053] Specifically, the voltage and current of the three-phase AC power grid are monitored in real time to ensure that the power grid parameters meet the system operation requirements. Based on the power grid output data detection results, the power grid parameters are accurately determined, and then through the synergy of the multi-pulse rectifier module and the frequency conversion circuit, the power grid parameters are converted into parameters suitable for the operation of the induction heating coil, which improves the stability and reliability of the system and ensures that the working medium in the heat storage tank can be heated efficiently and safely.

[0055] S32: Compare the area of ​​the region with a preset area value, and obtain a working fluid heating result based on the comparison result.

[0056] Specifically, the working fluid heating data acquired in real time is input into a preset heating analysis model. A safety threshold line is set in the heating analysis model. The area of ​​the region where the working fluid heating data exceeds the safety threshold line is calculated. The size of the regional area is used to identify whether the working fluid heating process in the heat storage tank reaches the preset situation, thereby ensuring the safety and controllability of the heating process and avoiding overheating or overpressure.

[0057] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, in response to the electric energy conversion instruction, the steam in the heat storage tank is converted into electric energy, and the output value is output to the three-phase AC power grid, and the variable frequency induction electric thermal energy storage control method also includes: S50: Start the condenser to condense the steam into water, and send the water back to the heat storage tank through the feed water pump.

[0058] S60: Start the exhaust gas waste heat recovery system to transfer the heat in the high-temperature exhaust gas to the working fluid in the heat storage tank, and monitor the intake and exhaust temperatures of the exhaust gas at the same time.

[0059] S70: Start the cooling device to transfer the heat in the heat storage tank to the cooling water, and start the fan to accelerate the cooling speed of the cooling water to keep the temperature in the heat storage tank within the set range.

[0060] Specifically, the condenser is started to condense the steam into water, and the water is returned to the heat storage tank through the water feed pump, forming a closed-loop water circulation system, reducing the consumption of water resources, transferring the heat in the high-temperature exhaust gas to the working fluid in the heat storage tank, and monitoring the intake and exhaust temperatures of the exhaust gas at the same time, further improving the energy utilization rate of the system and reducing energy consumption, transferring the heat in the heat storage tank to the cooling water, and starting the fan to accelerate the cooling rate of the cooling water, keeping the temperature in the heat storage tank within the set range, ensuring the stable operation of the system in a high temperature environment, and extending the life of the equipment.

[0061] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
