The heat recovery system 660 is connected between the hot fluid outlet of the condenser 630 and the water inlet of the boiler 610 , and the heat recovery system 660 is also connected to the steam turbine 620 .

[0036] The specific working process of the carbon dioxide energy storage coupled carbon capture system provided by the present invention is as follows: During the energy storage stage, electricity from the power grid is input to the primary compressor 110 and the secondary compressor 130. The carbon dioxide captured by the carbon capture system is pressurized by the carbon dioxide compressor 4100 in the carbon dioxide buffer tank 490 and then enters the primary compressor 110 for further pressurization. After being cooled by the primary cooler 120, it enters the secondary compressor 130 for further pressurization. After being cooled by the secondary cooler 140, it becomes high-pressure supercritical carbon dioxide and finally enters the high-pressure carbon dioxide storage tank 150 for storage.

[0037] In the energy release stage, the supercritical carbon dioxide in the high-pressure carbon dioxide storage tank 150 is output outward by its own pressure, and enters the first-stage expander 220 for expansion after being heated by the first-stage heater 210, and enters the second-stage expander 240 for expansion after being heated by the second-stage heater 230, and then enters the third-stage expander 260 for expansion after being heated by the third-stage heater 250. After expansion and work to generate electricity, the electricity is input into the power grid. Part of the carbon dioxide after expansion and heating enters the LNG heat exchange system for storage, and part returns to the energy storage pipeline for the next cycle.

[0038] During the energy storage and energy accumulation stages, the water or heat transfer oil in the cold fluid storage tank 310 is pumped into the cold fluid pipelines in the primary cooler 120 and the secondary cooler 140. When flowing through the cold fluid pipelines, the water or heat transfer oil absorbs the heat of the carbon dioxide in the hot fluid pipelines of the primary cooler 120 and the secondary cooler 140 to cool the carbon dioxide. After absorbing heat, the water or heat transfer oil heats up and enters the hot fluid storage tank 320.

[0039] The water or heat transfer oil in the hot fluid storage tank 320 is pumped into the hot fluid pipelines of the first-stage heater 210, the second-stage heater 230 and the third-stage heater 250. When flowing through the hot fluid pipelines, the carbon dioxide in the cold fluid pipelines flowing through the first-stage heater 210, the second-stage heater 230 and the third-stage heater 250 absorbs the heat of the water or the heat transfer oil and heats up. After the water or the heat transfer oil cools down, it flows back into the cold fluid storage tank 310.

[0040] The carbon dioxide in the energy storage pipeline and the energy release pipeline comes from the carbon capture system of the power plant. The flue gas of the power plant passes through the flue gas treatment device 410 and enters the absorption tower 420. The carbon dioxide is absorbed by the lean liquid to form a rich liquid, which is then pumped out by the rich liquid pump 430, and then enters the regeneration tower 470 for regeneration after heat exchange through the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 440, and is provided with heat by the reboiler 480. The regenerated lean liquid is pumped out by the lean liquid pump 450, heat exchanged through the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 440, and further cooled by the lean liquid cooler 460 before entering the absorption tower 420 to form a cycle.

[0041] The power plant that provides carbon dioxide can also provide heat at the same time. The steam is heated by the boiler 610 of the waste heat recovery system of the power plant, passes through the turbine 620, the condenser 630 and the heat recovery system 660 in sequence, and then returns to the boiler 610.

[0042] The condenser 630 has two heat output paths. The first is to transfer the heat through the absorption heat pump 640 to the third-stage heater 250 to increase the power output of the energy storage system during the energy release stage. The second is to transfer the heat through the carbon dioxide heater 650 to convert liquid carbon dioxide into gas during the energy storage stage.

[0043] When the carbon dioxide finishes releasing its energy, it flows through the hot fluid pipeline of the LNG heat exchanger 510. At the same time, the LNG gas flows through the cold fluid pipeline of the LNG heat exchanger 510, thereby cooling the carbon dioxide flowing through the hot fluid pipeline of the LNG heat exchanger 510. By utilizing the cold energy of LNG, the cost of carbon dioxide liquefaction is reduced, and the external cold source is effectively utilized for the liquefaction of carbon dioxide, thereby improving the energy storage density of the carbon dioxide energy storage system.

[0044] The innovation of the system of the present invention is that the carbon dioxide energy storage coupled with the carbon capture system realizes time-sharing utilization of the heat of the power plant. In the energy storage stage, the waste heat of the power plant is used to gasify the liquid carbon dioxide, and in the energy release stage, the waste heat of the power plant is used to heat the carbon dioxide gas at the inlet of the expander.

[0045] Moreover, since the carbon captured in the power plant needs to be liquefied before being transported, a compressor is also needed for liquefaction, so the compressor and cooler in this application can be used together for carbon capture and carbon dioxide energy storage. Moreover, when carbon capture and carbon dioxide energy release, the LNG heat exchanger 510 can be shared, saving fixed investment.

[0046] The carbon dioxide from the carbon capture system and the waste heat from the power plant waste heat recovery system can come from either a coal-fired power plant or a gas-fired power plant.

[0047] The absorption heat pump 640 may adopt a lithium bromide absorption heat pump 640 unit, which can convert low-grade heat energy into high-grade heat energy to effectively increase the enthalpy difference before and after the expander, thereby increasing the work output of the expander.

[0048] The isentropic efficiency of the compressor and expander should not be less than 85%. The compressor and expander evenly distribute the inlet and outlet pressures of each machine according to the pressure ratio. The compressor and expander are composed of a multi-stage compressor and a multi-stage expander respectively, and heat can be transferred through the pipes between the stages.

[0049] The cooler and heater can adopt shell and tube heat exchanger or PCHE. The shell and tube heat exchanger has the advantage of easy disassembly and maintenance, while the PCHE has the advantages of high heat exchange effect and compact structure.

[0050] Pressure regulating valves are provided behind the liquid carbon dioxide storage tank 520 and the high-pressure carbon dioxide storage tank 150, and the pressure can be adjusted before entering the cooler and the heater.

[0051] The carbon dioxide energy storage coupled carbon capture system provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects: There are two ways to utilize the waste heat recovery system of a power plant. One is that during the energy release stage, the waste heat in the condenser 630 is further improved in quality through the absorption heat pump 640 and then used to heat the temperature of the carbon dioxide entering the tertiary expansion machine 260, thereby increasing the work output of the tertiary expansion machine 260; the other is that during the energy storage stage, the waste heat in the condenser 630 is directly used to heat the liquid carbon dioxide in the carbon dioxide heater 650.

[0052] In a high-pressure carbon dioxide tank, carbon dioxide is stored in a high-pressure supercritical state, and in a liquid carbon dioxide tank, it is stored in a low-pressure liquid state. At the same time, since the density of the supercritical state and the liquid state is greater than that of the gaseous state, the carbon dioxide energy storage coupled with carbon capture system has the advantage of high energy storage density.

[0053] The captured carbon dioxide needs to be compressed and liquefied before being stored in the liquid carbon dioxide storage tank 520 for transportation, and the released carbon dioxide also needs to be liquefied for storage, so the LNG heat exchanger 510 and the liquid carbon dioxide storage tank 520 can be shared. At the same time, carbon dioxide liquefaction also needs to be compressed, and carbon dioxide energy storage also requires a compressor, and the two can also be shared. Therefore, the carbon dioxide energy storage coupled with the carbon capture system can reduce the cost of both at the same time.
