Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of energy storage, and relates to a distributed energy storage system and method coupled with a micro gas turbine. Background Art

[0002] The energy demand in rural areas is becoming increasingly diversified, covering various forms such as electricity and heat energy. Renewable energy sources, such as solar energy and wind energy, provide rich energy sources for rural areas. These energy sources are not only renewable but also widely distributed. Especially in rural areas, solar and wind energy resources are particularly abundant. By utilizing these renewable energy sources, rural areas can meet their own energy demands and reduce their dependence on external energy. However, with the large-scale application of renewable energy, the problems of intermittency and instability of energy have become increasingly prominent.

[0003] At present, in the aspect of energy storage for renewable energy power generation, an energy storage system coupled with a micro gas turbine is mostly adopted. The energy storage system coupled with a micro gas turbine smooths the fluctuations generated by the intermittency and instability of renewable energy on the power grid, thereby reducing the impact on the power grid.

[0004] However, since the energy storage system coupled with a micro gas turbine is mostly designed for single electric energy supply, lacking the consideration of multiple application scenarios and the ability of multi-energy co-production, its efficiency in storing and utilizing the unstable electric energy generated by renewable energy power generation is relatively low. This not only affects the utilization efficiency of renewable energy but also makes it difficult to provide other forms of energy for rural areas. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a distributed energy storage system and method coupled with a micro gas turbine, which can store heat and cold while storing electric energy, not only realizing the efficient storage and utilization of the unstable electric energy generated by renewable energy power generation but also providing reliable power, heat, and cold supply for rural areas.

[0022] At least one energy storage tank, which stores nitrogen inside.

[0023] A water storage tank, which stores water at normal temperature and pressure inside.

[0024] A first water pump, with its inlet connected to the first outlet of the water storage tank. The outlet of the first water pump is respectively connected to the first inlet and the second inlet of the energy storage tank. The first water pump is electrically connected to the first generator. The first water pump is used to pressurize the water at normal temperature and pressure in the water storage tank to become water at normal temperature and high pressure and deliver it into the energy storage tank.

[0025] An energy release component, which is connected to the energy storage tank and is used to convert the pressure energy in the stored water at normal temperature and high pressure into electric energy and deliver it to the power grid during the high electricity consumption period.

[0026] The energy release component includes:

[0027] A water turbine, whose inlet is connected to the outlet of the energy storage tank, the outlet of the water turbine is connected to the first inlet of the water storage tank, and the output end of the water turbine is connected with a second generator, and the electric energy generated by the second generator is transmitted to the power grid.

[0031] The outlet of the heat exchanger is connected to the second inlet of the cold storage tank, and the second outlet of the cold storage tank is connected to the second inlet of the water storage tank.

[0032] A distributed energy storage method coupled with a micro gas turbine includes the following steps:

[0033] Introduce normal temperature and pressure air into the compressor for pressurization, so that the normal temperature and pressure air becomes high temperature and high pressure air.

[0034] Introduce the high temperature and high pressure air into the heating element, and the electric energy generated by the renewable energy power generation equipment powers the heating element, and the heating element heats the high temperature and high pressure air, so that the high temperature and high pressure air becomes ultra-high temperature and high pressure air.

[0035] Introduce the ultra-high temperature and high pressure air into the first turbine for expansion work, the ultra-high temperature and high pressure air becomes high temperature and medium pressure air, and the heat in the high temperature and medium pressure air is stored in the heat storage module through the heat storage module, and the high temperature and medium pressure air becomes normal temperature and medium pressure air.

[0037] During the low electricity consumption period, the electric energy generated by the first turbine and the second turbine driving the first generator is stored through the electric energy storage and utilization module. During the high electricity consumption period, the electric energy generated by the first turbine and the second turbine driving the first generator is directly transmitted to the power grid. At the same time, the electric energy stored in the electric energy storage and utilization module is transmitted to the power grid.

[0038] Among them, during the low electricity consumption period, the specific steps of storing the electric energy generated by the first turbine and the second turbine driving the first generator through the electric energy storage and utilization module are as follows:

[0039] The electric energy generated by driving the first generator with the first turbine and the second turbine is transmitted to the first water pump to start the first water pump. The first water pump pressurizes the normal temperature and pressure water in the water storage tank to become normal temperature and high pressure water. Part of the high temperature and high pressure water enters the water storage tank through the first inlet of the water storage tank for storage, and the other part of the high temperature and high pressure water enters the water storage tank through the second inlet of the water storage tank for spraying operation to cool the nitrogen, so that the nitrogen is isothermally compressed.

[0040] During the peak electricity consumption period, the specific steps for transmitting the electric energy stored in the electric energy storage and utilization module to the power grid are as follows:

[0041] The normal temperature and high pressure water in the energy storage tank is introduced into the water turbine. The electric energy generated by driving the second generator with the water turbine is transmitted to the power grid, and the normal temperature and high pressure water becomes normal temperature and pressure water and returns to the water storage tank.

[0042] Start the second water pump. The second water pump introduces the normal temperature water in the water storage tank into the preheater, and heats the normal temperature and pressure water through the low-grade heat generated by renewable energy, so that the normal temperature and pressure water becomes high temperature and pressure water. The high temperature and pressure water enters the heat exchanger to exchange heat with the nitrogen that expands and cools, so that the nitrogen keeps isothermal expansion, and the high temperature and pressure water becomes low temperature and pressure water.

[0043] The low temperature and pressure water is introduced into the heat storage tank. After storing the cold in the heat storage tank, it becomes normal temperature and pressure water and returns to the water storage tank.

[0044] Among them, the temperature of the normal temperature and pressure air is 15°C to 25°C, the pressure is 1 bar, the temperature of the high temperature and high pressure air is 150°C to 300°C, the pressure is 2 bar to 6 bar, the temperature of the ultra-high temperature and high pressure air is 650°C to 1200°C, the pressure is 2 bar to 6 bar, the temperature of the high temperature and medium pressure air is 150°C to 300°C, the pressure is 1.2 bar to 3 bar, the temperature of the normal temperature and medium pressure air is 25°C to 50°C, the pressure is 1.2 bar to 3 bar, the temperature of the low temperature and pressure air is -10°C to 15°C, the pressure is 1 bar, the temperature of the normal temperature and high pressure water is 20°C to 30°C, the pressure is 10 bar to 200 bar, the temperature of the high temperature and pressure water is 60°C to 90°C, the pressure is 1 bar, and the temperature of the low temperature and pressure water is 0°C to 15°C, the pressure is 1 bar.

[0045] A distributed energy storage system and method coupling a micro gas turbine of the present invention have the following advantages:

[0046] First, through the cooperation of the micro gas turbine, the second turbine, the heat storage module, the cold storage module and the electric energy storage and utilization module, it is possible to store heat and cold while storing electric energy, which not only realizes the efficient storage and utilization of the unstable electric energy generated by renewable energy power generation, avoids the power grid fluctuation problem caused by direct grid connection, but also provides reliable power, heat and cold supply for rural areas, improving the utilization efficiency of renewable energy.

[0047] Second, the present invention takes the micro gas turbine as the core, which is small in size, light in weight and compact in structure, making it particularly suitable for distributed deployment. The distributed design can fully adapt to the scenarios where the energy demands are scattered, such as rural areas and small factories. The system does not need to rely on large-scale centralized energy storage devices, nor does it require special terrain conditions. It can be independently deployed at multiple distributed nodes such as villages and factories, realizing flexible layout according to needs and quickly responding to local energy demands.

[0048] Third, the present invention can provide a stable energy input by combining the micro gas turbine with the unstable electric energy generated by renewable energy power generation, and uses the air in the external atmosphere as the working medium. Without high-pressure storage tanks or electrochemical energy storage devices, the distributed operation mode not only reduces the construction complexity and investment cost, but also enables each node to have the ability of independent operation. Even when the centralized power grid fails, it can maintain the reliable supply of local energy.

[0049] Fourth, the present invention adopts a modular design. Key devices such as energy storage tanks and heat exchangers are all of compact structure. The energy storage tanks can be flexibly arranged, supporting being buried underground or dispersed installation, greatly reducing the occupation of ground space, while improving the concealment and safety of the devices. The modular design also enables the system to flexibly expand the capacity according to actual needs and adapt to the energy demand fluctuations in different regions.

[0050] Fifth, through the distributed energy storage system, the present invention can flexibly adjust the energy release capacity during peak electricity consumption. By using the combined power generation of the micro gas turbine and the air turbine, and cooperating with the heat storage and cold storage devices, it realizes the comprehensive supply of electric energy, heat energy and cold energy. This distributed energy supply method is particularly suitable for the diversified energy demands of rural areas and small factories, providing reliable and efficient comprehensive energy solutions for users.

[0051] Sixth, the present invention can make full use of the characteristics of unstable electric energy in renewable energy (such as photovoltaic and wind power generation), convert it into stored heat energy, cold energy and potential energy, avoid the power grid fluctuation problem that may be caused by direct grid connection. At the same time, under the operation of distributed nodes, each micro gas turbine can independently cooperate with renewable energy to achieve efficient energy conversion and consumption, further optimizing the energy structure and increasing the proportion of clean energy in the system.

The electric energy storage and utilization module is used to store the electric energy generated by the first generator 28 when the power consumption is low, and transmit the electric energy generated by the first generator 28 and the stored electric energy to the power grid when the power consumption is peak. Through the cooperation of the micro gas turbine, the second turbine 7, the heat storage module, the cold storage module and the electric energy storage and utilization module, heat and cold can be stored while storing electric energy, which not only realizes the efficient storage and utilization of the unstable electric energy generated by renewable energy power generation, avoids the power grid fluctuation problem caused by direct grid connection, but also provides reliable power, heat and cold supply for rural areas, and improves the utilization efficiency of renewable energy.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the micro gas turbine, a compressor 2, a first turbine 4 and a heating element are used to replace the original micro gas turbine, so as to directly utilize the electric energy generated by the renewable energy power generation equipment 1 to replace the original combustible gas combustion, thereby avoiding the waste and pollution caused by the use of non-renewable energy.

[0060] like Figure 1As shown in the figure, the heating element consists of an air heater 3 and an electric heater 17. The inlet of the air heater 3 is connected to the outlet of the compressor 2, and the outlet of the air heater 3 is connected to the inlet of the first turbine 4. The electric heater 17 is electrically connected to the renewable energy power generation device 1, and the electric energy generated by the renewable energy power generation device 1 powers the electric heater 17. The heat generated by the operation of the electric heater 17 is supplied to the air heater 3 to heat the compressed air in the air heater 3.

[0061] As Figure 1 shown in the figure, the heat storage module includes a high-temperature heat exchanger 5 and a heat storage tank 6. The first inlet of the high-temperature heat exchanger 5 is connected to the outlet of the first turbine 4, the first outlet of the high-temperature heat exchanger 5 is connected to the inlet of the second turbine 7, the heat storage medium is stored inside the heat storage tank 6, the outlet of the heat storage tank 6 is connected to the second inlet of the high-temperature heat exchanger 5, and the inlet of the heat storage tank 6 is connected to the second outlet of the high-temperature heat exchanger 5.

At least one energy storage tank 11 stores nitrogen gas inside. The number of energy storage tanks 11 can be arranged according to needs. The water storage tank 14 stores water at normal temperature and pressure. The inlet of the first water pump 10 is connected to the first outlet of the water storage tank 14.

[0072] During the low electricity consumption period, the electric energy generated by driving the first generator 28 by the first turbine 4 and the second turbine 7 is stored through the electric energy storage and utilization module. During the high electricity consumption period, the electric energy generated by driving the first generator 28 by the first turbine 4 and the second turbine 7 is directly transmitted to the power grid. At the same time, the electric energy stored in the electric energy storage and utilization module is transmitted to the power grid.

[0073] As Figure 2 shown, during the low electricity consumption period, the specific steps for storing the electric energy generated by driving the first generator 28 by the first turbine 4 and the second turbine 7 through the electric energy storage and utilization module are as follows:

[0074] Transmit the electric energy generated by driving the first generator 28 by the first turbine 4 and the second turbine 7 to the first water pump 10, start the first water pump 10, and the first water pump 10 pressurizes the normal temperature and normal pressure water in the water storage tank 14 to become normal temperature and high pressure water.

[0081] When the user is in the low electricity consumption period, the fifth control valve 22, the sixth control valve 23, the seventh control valve 24, the eighth control valve 25, the ninth control valve 26, and the tenth control valve 27 are closed, and the first control valve 18, the second control valve 19, the third control valve 20, and the fourth control valve 21 are opened. The energy storage part starts to work. The normal temperature and pressure air in the atmosphere enters the compressor 2 for pressurization, so that the normal temperature and pressure air becomes high temperature and pressure air. The high temperature and pressure air enters the air heater 3. The electric energy generated by the renewable energy power generation device 1 powers the electric heater 17. The heat generated by the operation of the electric heater 17 is supplied to the air heater 3, so that the high temperature and pressure air becomes ultra-high temperature and pressure air. The ultra-high temperature and pressure air enters the first turbine 4 for power generation. The ultra-high temperature and pressure air becomes high temperature and medium pressure air. The high temperature and medium pressure air enters the high temperature heat exchanger 5 to exchange heat with the heat storage medium from the heat storage tank 6.

The heat storage medium enters the heat storage tank 6 for storage, and is used for rural agriculture, rural factories and central heating. The normal temperature and medium pressure air enters the second turbine 7 for power generation. The normal temperature and medium pressure air becomes low temperature and pressure air. The low temperature and pressure air enters the low temperature heat exchanger 8 to exchange heat with the cold storage medium from the cold storage tank 9. The low temperature and pressure air becomes normal temperature and pressure air and is discharged.

[0082] The electric energy generated by driving the first generator 28 by the first turbine 4 and the second turbine 7 is transmitted to the first water pump 10 to start the first water pump 10. The first water pump 10 pressurizes the normal temperature and normal pressure water in the water storage tank 14 to become normal temperature and high pressure water and transmits it into the energy storage tank 11. A part of the normal temperature and high pressure water enters the energy storage tank 11 through the first inlet of the energy storage tank 11 for storage, and nitrogen is compressed during the storage process.

[0084] The first water pump 10 stops working, and the normal temperature and high pressure water in the energy storage tank 11 is introduced into the water turbine 13 to drive the water turbine 13 to generate electricity. The electric energy generated by driving the second generator 29 by the water turbine 13 is transmitted to the power grid. The normal temperature and high pressure water becomes normal temperature and normal pressure water and returns to the water storage tank 14. At the same time, the electric energy generated by the renewable energy power generation device 1 is used to supply power to the second water pump 15 to start the second water pump 15. The second water pump 15 introduces the normal temperature water in the water storage tank 14 into the preheater 16, and heats the normal temperature and normal pressure water through the low-grade heat generated by the renewable energy power generation device 1 so that the normal temperature and normal pressure water becomes high temperature and normal pressure water. The high temperature and normal pressure water enters the heat exchanger 12 to exchange heat with the nitrogen that expands and cools, so that the nitrogen maintains isothermal expansion. The high temperature and normal pressure water becomes low temperature and normal pressure water. The low temperature and normal pressure water is introduced into the heat storage tank 6, and the cold energy is stored in the heat storage tank 6 and then becomes normal temperature and normal pressure water and returns to the water storage tank 14 to complete the energy release process.
