Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of energy-saving and environmental protection industry technology and new energy technology, and specifically to an IGFC power generation technology containing an oxygen storage device and a pressure swing adsorption device that improves the overall net output power of an IGFC system and reduces the cost of CO2 compression, transportation and storage of the IGFC system. Background Art
[0002] In the process of achieving the "dual carbon" goal, the low-carbon transformation of the energy structure has accelerated. Since the beginning of this century, the global energy structure has been adjusted at an accelerated pace, the technical level and economic efficiency of new energy have been greatly improved, the utilization of wind energy and solar energy has achieved leapfrog development, and the scale has increased by several times. In the past five years, renewable energy has provided 60% of the world's new power generation, and the proportion of new energy in the power generation field is gradually increasing. In the face of the integrated energy system with high wind and solar penetration in the future, thermal power still plays a supporting and bottoming role. The integrated gasification fuel cell system (IGFC) is a new, green and efficient coal-based power generation technology that realizes efficient production of electricity by organically integrating coal gasification and fuel cells. Compared with traditional thermal power, this technology uses fuel cells to directly convert the chemical energy in coal gasification gas into electrical energy. In addition, IGFC can achieve carbon enrichment during the power generation process, creating favorable conditions for direct capture.
[0003] The patent document with application publication number CN109350988A discloses an IGFC power generation system and method that couples the CO2 liquefaction process with cryogenic air separation. The system couples the CO2 liquefaction process with cryogenic air separation, so that the IGFC power generation system eliminates the refrigeration equipment required for the CO2 liquefaction process, simplifies the process, reduces equipment investment and operating costs; at the same time, it achieves optimal utilization of energy and can improve the power generation efficiency of the IGFC system. The patent document with application publication number CN113644280A discloses an IGFC system and method that uses high-temperature fuel cell cathode tail gas to produce oxygen. The system divides the tail gas at the cathode outlet of the high-temperature fuel cell into two streams, one of which is sent to the high-temperature ion transport membrane technology oxygen production unit to separate oxygen and send it to the gasifier, and the other is sent to the catalytic burner for combustion reaction. The energy consumption of oxygen production is reduced, and the net power generation efficiency of the entire IGFC system can be improved.
[0004] In order to improve the power generation efficiency of the IGFC system, the above method improves the relevant units of the IGFC, but does not simultaneously consider the high energy consumption of the deep air separation device under large load and the high treatment cost of CO2 in the cathode exhaust gas of the high-temperature fuel cell. In addition, the above method does not consider solving the problem of high energy consumption of the IGFC in combination with the rapid development trend of new energy, does not fundamentally solve the problem of low net output power of the IGFC, and the proposed CO2 treatment scheme has high input and operation and maintenance costs and strong environmental destructiveness.
[0005] With the accelerated promotion of the low-carbon transformation of the energy structure, the technical level and economy of new energy have been greatly improved, and the utilization of wind energy and solar energy has achieved leapfrog development. In the past five years, renewable energy has provided about 60% of the global newly added power generation. However, at the same time, due to the volatility of new energy, there is a problem of large-scale curtailment of electricity. Using a pressure swing adsorption device to separate hydrogen from coke oven gas is one of the most efficient ways of industrial hydrogen production. This technology can utilize the sulfur-tolerant shift of coke oven gas to convert organic sulfur into H2S, improving the hydrogen production and yield.
[0006] Therefore, the present invention proposes an IGFC system and method including an oxygen storage device and a pressure swing adsorption device. Summary of the Invention

After the obtained gas is cooled, a part of it is supplied to the gas load, and the other part enters the gas heating device to generate heat through combustion, and together with the heat generated by the heat exchanger, it is supplied to the heat load. Promoted by the pressure pump to meet the needs of the user, enabling the IGFC system to supply electricity, heat and gas networks simultaneously, and the IGFC has a broader application in the integrated energy system, realizing the local consumption of CO2 and reducing the costs of CO2 compression, transportation and storage of the IGFC system.

[0026] The input port of the deep air separation device is used to input air. The first output port of the deep air separation device is connected to the combustion chamber to provide oxygen for the combustion chamber. The second output port of the deep air separation device is used to output nitrogen to the gasifier. The third output port of the deep air separation device is used to output oxygen to the gasifier;
[0027] The inlet of the gasifier is connected to a nitrogen compressor and a coal pretreatment device, and the outlet is connected to a waste heat boiler; the outlet of the waste heat boiler is connected to a sedimentation tower; the outlet of the sedimentation tower is connected to a desulfurization device;
[0028] The inlet of the pressure swing adsorption device is connected to the desulfurization device, and the outlet is divided into two paths. One path is connected to the methane synthesis unit, and the other path is connected to an expander; the outlet of the expander is connected to a heater; the outlet of the heater is connected to a solid oxide fuel cell;
[0029] The solid oxide fuel cell is divided into an anode end and a cathode end. The inlet of the anode is connected to the heater and steam, and the outlet is connected to a combustion chamber. The inlet of the cathode is connected to an air compressor, and the outlet is connected to an air turbine. The heat energy generated by the solid oxide fuel cell is connected to a waste heat utilization device through the tail gas, and the electricity is connected to the power grid through an inverter; the inlet of the combustion chamber is connected to the oxygen storage device and the anode of the solid oxide fuel cell, and the outlet is connected to the tail gas turbine; the outlet of the tail gas turbine is connected to the waste heat utilization device, and the generated electricity is supplied to the power grid;
[0030] The inlet of the waste heat utilization device is connected to a water supply pump, an air turbine, a solid oxide fuel cell and a tail gas turbine, and the outlet is connected to the methane synthesis unit. The generated steam is supplied for use by a steam turbine unit and a heat exchanger;
[0031] The inlet of the methane synthesis unit is connected to the waste heat utilization device, the hydrogen purchase market and the pressure swing adsorption device, and the outlet is connected to a gas heating device and a gas load.
[0032] When the system is working and in use, the following steps are adopted:
[0033] Step 1: Air enters the deep air separation device of the IGFC system, forms high-pressure gas under the compression of the main air compressor, and sends the formed high-pressure gas into the deep air separation tower; the deep air separation tower separates nitrogen and oxygen through cooling. The nitrogen is pressurized by the nitrogen compressor to meet the requirements for transporting the coal gas of the IGFC system and is used to transport the coal gas of the IGFC system; part of the oxygen is pressurized by the oxygen compressor to meet the pressure requirements suitable for the gasifier and the combustion chamber and is used to supply the oxygen required by the gasifier and the combustion chamber. The other part is pressurized and stored in the oxygen storage device to consume more new energy abandoned electricity;
[0034] Step 2: Coal is crushed, ground and humidified in the coal pretreatment device to form coal slag, and is transported into the gasifier through the nitrogen compressed by the nitrogen compressor. In the high-temperature (1523.15K) and high-pressure (3MPa) environment of the gasifier, the pulverized coal reacts with the oxygen pressurized by the oxygen compressor (4) to generate raw coal gas (1573K) mainly composed of CO, H2, H2O, CH4, H2S and fly ash;
[0035] Step 3: The generated raw gas is cooled in a waste heat boiler and then enters a sedimentation tower. After being cooled in the sedimentation tower, the raw gas enters a desulfurization device. In the desulfurization device, dust, sulfides, NH3 and other impurities are removed through processes such as dust removal, water washing, COS hydrolysis, MDEA desulfurization, and fine desulfurization to obtain purified gas.
[0036] Step 4: The purified gas enters a pressure swing adsorption device. Pretreatment operations such as precipitation and pressure release are completed in the pretreatment tower of the pressure swing adsorption device, and then the purified gas enters a vacuum pressure swing adsorption tower. In the vacuum pressure swing adsorption tower, the purified gas is separated into hydrogen and combustion gas mainly composed of CO and CH4. After being dehumidified and deoxygenated in a dehumidification tower and a deoxygenation tower, the hydrogen enters a methane synthesis device, and the combustion gas enters a solid oxide fuel cell after being heated and depressurized.
[0037] Step 5: The pressure of the combustion gas is generally about 3 MPa. Therefore, before entering the solid oxide fuel cell, a part of the energy needs to be recovered through an expander expansion work device to reduce its pressure to the reaction pressure of the solid oxide fuel cell. The temperature of the combustion gas after being dehumidified and deoxygenated cannot meet the standard of the solid oxide fuel cell. Therefore, after passing through the expander expansion work device, it needs to enter a heater for heating treatment.
[0038] Step 6: For the internal reforming reaction and displacement reaction in the solid oxide fuel cell, air with a corresponding pressure needs to enter as the reaction environment. Therefore, air enters an air compressor, and after being pressurized, it is sent into the solid oxide fuel cell. The high-temperature and high-pressure air that has been used is sent into an air turbine to complete pressure release and generate electricity to supply the load demand. The high-temperature gas after pressure release is sent into a waste heat utilization device for secondary utilization of heat.
[0039] Step 7: When the combustion gas enters the anode of the solid oxide fuel cell, an electrochemical reaction occurs with the oxygen in the air entering the cathode at a pressure of about 1.5 MPa. The reforming reaction and displacement reaction occur inside the solid oxide fuel cell, directly converting chemical energy into electricity. The electricity is converted into alternating current by an inverter and sent into the power grid for distribution.
[0040] Step 8: Since the fuel in the solid oxide fuel cell cannot be fully utilized, that is, the fuel utilization rate cannot reach 100%, part of the unreacted fuel gas, together with the CO2 and H2O generated after the reaction, is sent to the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is preferably a pure oxygen catalytic combustion chamber, which burns fully with the pure oxygen from the oxygen compressor to obtain high-pressure and high-temperature tail gas mainly composed of CO2 and H2O. The obtained tail gas first enters the tail gas turbine to do work and release pressure, and then forms a high-temperature mixed gas with the air after the air turbine completes pressure release, and the heat generated by the reaction of the solid oxide fuel cell and enters the waste heat utilization device together. The high-temperature mixed gas passes through the superheater, evaporator and economizer in the waste heat utilization device to generate steam with different temperature and pressure levels. Part of the steam enters the heat exchanger to generate heat to meet the demand of the heat load, and the other part enters the steam turbine unit to generate electricity for the power grid;
[0041] Step 9: The steam enters the steam turbine unit, absorbs the heat of the steam once through the HTP, and then absorbs the heat of the steam twice under the promotion of the pressure pump through the LTP, and generates electricity through the steam generator to provide electrical energy for the power grid;
[0042] Step 10: The tail gas after heat recovery is cooled to obtain high-purity carbon dioxide, and reacts with the hydrogen generated in the methane synthesis device and the IGFC system pressure swing adsorption device and the hydrogen purchased from the hydrogen purchase market to generate a gas mainly composed of methane and water. After the obtained gas is cooled, part of it is supplied to the gas load, and the other part enters the gas heating device to generate heat through combustion, and together with the heat exchanger for generating heat, it is supplied to the heat load, and meets the needs of users through the promotion of the pressure pump.
[0043] In Step 1, the power loads used by the main air compressor, nitrogen compressor and oxygen compressor are supplied by the expansion machine, solid oxide fuel cell, tail gas turbine and air turbine components inside the IGFC, the steam turbine unit, and the abandoned electricity of the wind and light units.
[0044] In Steps 1 to 10, the required water is provided by pressurizing with a water supply pump. Part of the water generated by the water supply pump passes through the waste heat boiler to assist in its cooling treatment and generate water vapor to meet the needs of other components such as coal transportation and solid oxide fuel cells; the other part of the water is introduced into the heat exchanger and waste heat utilization device to assist in generating water vapor.
[0045] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects:
[0046] 1) The present invention improves the cryogenic air separation device, uses the cryogenic air separation device to convert the new energy that cannot be consumed in time into O2, stores it in the oxygen storage device, increases the proportion of new energy consumption, reduces the consumption of the IGFC system for supplying internal components, and improves the overall net output power of the IGFC system.
[0047] 2) The present invention introduces a pressure swing adsorption device. By utilizing the ability of the IGFC system gasifier to process coal gas and combining with the sulfur-resistant shift hydrogen production technology of coke oven gas, H2 in the purified gas is extracted, and CH4 is generated in the methane synthesis device with the CO2 discharged from the oxygen-enriched combustion chamber to supply the gas load, realizing the local consumption of CO2 and reducing the costs of CO2 compression, transportation, and storage in the IGFC system.
[0048] 3) The present invention introduces a methane synthesis device, enabling the IGFC system to supply power, heat, and gas networks simultaneously, and having a broader application of IGFC in the integrated energy system. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0082] The present invention makes full use of the functions of the IGFC system, simultaneously meets the supply of electricity, heat, and gas energy in the integrated energy system, and utilizes the hydrogen in the purified gas of the IGFC system to treat the CO2 generated in the tail gas, realizing multi-level applications of the IGFC system;
[0083] An operation method for an IGFC system including an oxygen storage device and a pressure swing adsorption device includes the following steps:
[0084] Step 1: Air enters the deep cryogenic air separation device of the IGFC system, forms high-pressure gas under the compression of the main air compressor 2, and sends the high-pressure gas formed by compression into the deep cryogenic air separation tower 3. The deep cryogenic air separation tower 3 separates nitrogen and oxygen 41 through cooling. The nitrogen is pressurized by the nitrogen compressor 5 to meet the requirements for transporting coal gas in the IGFC system and is used to transport the coal gas of the IGFC system; part of the oxygen 41 is preferentially pressurized by the oxygen compressor 4 to meet the pressure requirements of the gasifier 9 and the combustion chamber 20 and is used to supply the oxygen needs of the gasifier 9 and the combustion chamber 20. The other part is pressurized and stored in the oxygen storage device 52 to consume more new energy abandoned electricity and alleviate the technical problem of the continuity of oxygen supply in devices such as the gasifier and the tail gas combustion chamber of the IGFC system.
[0085] The electric loads used by the main air compressor 2, the nitrogen compressor 5, and the oxygen compressor 4 in Step 1 are supplied by the abandoned electricity of the expander 17, the solid oxide fuel cell 19, the tail gas turbine 21, the air turbine 51 components, the steam turbine unit 31, and the wind and light unit 6 inside the IGFC.
[0086] Step 2: Coal 8 is crushed, ground, and humidified in the coal pretreatment device 7 to form coal slag 43, and is transported into the gasifier 9 through the nitrogen compressed by the nitrogen compressor 5. In the high-temperature (1523.15K) and high-pressure (3MPa) environment of the gasifier 9, the pulverized coal reacts with the oxygen pressurized by the oxygen compressor 4 to generate raw coal gas (1573K) mainly composed of CO, H2, H2O, CH4, H2S, and fly ash.
[0087] Step 3: The generated raw coal gas is cooled by the waste heat boiler 10 and enters the sedimentation tower 12. After being cooled in the sedimentation tower 12, the raw coal gas enters the desulfurization device 11. In the desulfurization device 11, dust, sulfides, NH3 and other impurities are removed through processes such as dust removal, water washing, COS hydrolysis, MDEA desulfurization, and fine desulfurization to obtain purified gas.
[0088] Step 4: The purified gas enters the pressure swing adsorption device 49, completes pretreatment operations such as precipitation and pressure release in the pretreatment tower 13 of the pressure swing adsorption device and enters the vacuum pressure swing adsorption tower 14. In the vacuum pressure swing adsorption tower 14, the purified gas is separated into hydrogen 44 and combustion gas mainly composed of CO and CH4. After being dehumidified and deoxygenated by the dehumidification tower 15 and the deoxygenation tower 16, the hydrogen 44 enters the methane synthesis device 32, and the combustion gas enters the solid oxide fuel cell 19 after being heated and depressurized.
[0089] Step 5: The pressure of the combustion gas is generally about 3 MPa. Therefore, before entering the solid oxide fuel cell 19, a part of the energy needs to be recovered through the expansion work device of the expander 17 to reduce its pressure to the reaction pressure of the solid oxide fuel cell 19. The temperature of the combustion gas after dehumidification and deoxidation treatment cannot meet the standard of the solid oxide fuel cell 19. Therefore, after passing through the expansion work device of the expander 17, it needs to enter the heater 18 for heating treatment.
[0090] Step 6: For the reforming reaction and displacement reaction to occur inside the solid oxide fuel cell 19, air with a corresponding pressure needs to enter as the reaction environment. Therefore, the air enters the air compressor 50, and after being pressurized, it is sent into the solid oxide fuel cell 19. The high-temperature and high-pressure air that has been used is sent into the air turbine 51 to complete pressure release and generate electricity to supply the load demand. The high-temperature gas after pressure release is then sent into the waste heat utilization device 23 for secondary utilization of heat.
[0091] Step 7: When the combustion gas enters the anode of the solid oxide fuel cell 19, an electrochemical reaction occurs with the oxygen in the air entering the cathode at a pressure of about 1.5 MPa. The reforming reaction and displacement reaction occur inside the solid oxide fuel cell 19, directly converting chemical energy into electricity 48. The electricity 48 is converted into alternating current by the inverter 22 and sent into the power grid for distribution.
[0092] Step 8: Since the fuel in the solid oxide fuel cell 19 cannot be fully utilized, that is, the fuel utilization rate cannot reach 100%, part of the unreacted fuel gas, together with the CO2 and H2O generated after the reaction, is sent into the combustion chamber 20. The combustion chamber 20 is preferably a pure oxygen catalytic combustion chamber, and it burns fully with the pure oxygen from the oxygen compressor 4 to obtain high-pressure and high-temperature tail gas mainly composed of CO2 and H2O. The obtained tail gas first enters the tail gas turbine 21 for turbine work and pressure release, and then forms a high-temperature mixed gas together with the air after pressure release by the air turbine 51 and the heat generated by the reaction of the solid oxide fuel cell 19, and enters the waste heat utilization device 23. The high-temperature mixed gas passes through the superheater 24, evaporator 25, and economizer 26 in the waste heat utilization device to generate steam with different temperature and pressure levels. Part of it enters the heat exchanger 34 to generate heat to supply the demand of the heat load 37, and the other part enters the steam turbine unit 31 to generate electricity 48 to supply the power grid.
[0093] Step 9: The steam enters the steam turbine unit 31, absorbs the heat of the steam once through the HTP28, and then absorbs the heat of the steam twice under the promotion of the pressure pump 27 through the LTP29, and generates electricity 48 through the steam generator 30 to provide electrical energy for the power grid.
[0094] Step 10: The tail gas after heat recovery is cooled to obtain high-purity carbon dioxide 46, which reacts with hydrogen 44 generated in the methane synthesis device 32 and the pressure swing adsorption device 49 of the IGFC system and hydrogen 44 purchased from the hydrogen purchase market 33 to generate a gas mainly composed of methane 47 and water. After the obtained gas is cooled, a part of it is supplied to the gas load 36, and the other part enters the gas heating device 35 to generate heat through combustion, and together with the heat generated by the heat exchanger 34, it is supplied to the heat load 37, and is promoted by the pressure pump 39 to meet the needs of the user 38.
[0095] The water required for the above steps is provided by pressurizing with the water supply pump 40. A part of the water 45 generated by the water supply pump 40 passes through the waste heat boiler 10 to assist in its cooling treatment and generate steam 42 to meet the needs of other components such as coal transportation and the solid oxide fuel cell 19; the other part of the water is introduced into the heat exchanger 34 and the waste heat utilization device 23 to assist in generating steam 42.
[0096] An IGFC system including an oxygen storage device and a pressure swing adsorption device uses a deep air separation device to convert new energy that cannot be consumed in time into O2, stores it in the oxygen storage tank, increases the proportion of new energy consumption, and reduces the consumption of the IGFC system for supplying internal components; at the same time, using the gasification furnace of the IGFC system to process coal gas, combined with the hydrogen production technology of the sulfur-resistant shift of coke oven gas to extract H2 from the purified gas, and generating CH4 in the methane synthesis device with the CO2 discharged from the oxygen-enriched combustion chamber to supply the gas load, realizing the local consumption of CO2.
[0097] Example:
[0098] Taking a typical area in northern China as an example, this invention sets four different configurations of the IGFC system to verify the performance advantages of the improved IGFC system in the typical daily supply in the IES. The four scenarios set are:
[0099] Scenario 1: Coupled new energy and traditional IGFC system scheduling scenario: Using a carbon capture system to achieve the treatment of CO2.
[0100] Scenario 2: IGFC system carbon local treatment scenario: On the basis of Scenario 1, replacing the carbon capture system with an oxygen-enriched combustion chamber and a methane treatment device, and realizing the local consumption of CO2 by purchasing hydrogen.
[0101] Scenario 3: IGFC system assisted carbon treatment scenario: On the basis of Scenario 2, introducing a pressure swing adsorption device to realize the local use of hydrogen by separating hydrogen from the purified gas.
[0102] Scenario 4: Improved IGFC system scenario: On the basis of Scenario 3, introducing an oxygen storage device, and using the abandoned electricity of new energy to supply the air separation device to generate and store high-pressure oxygen.
[0103] Considering the sharp increase in electricity load and the large gap between peak and valley loads, a gradient pricing is adopted for electricity load; an average price within the day is adopted for heat load and gas load; an average price within the day is adopted for coal and hydrogen. The 24-hour gradient price distributions of electricity, heat, gas, and coal within the day are shown in Table 1 as follows.
[0104] Table 1 Gradient Price Table of Electricity, Heat, Gas, and Coal within the Day
[0105]
[0106] The parameter distributions of each unit are as Figure 2 shown.
[0107] Table 2 Parameter Distributions of Each Unit
[0108]
[0109] The equipment parameter distributions are as Figure 3 shown.
[0110] Table 3 Equipment Parameter Distributions
[0111]
[0112] Table 4 shows the cost distribution results of four scenarios. The operation and maintenance costs, dispatching costs, carbon emission costs, and total costs from Scenario 1 to Scenario 4 decrease in turn, verifying the economic advantages of the improved IGFC system during the operation on a typical day. Among them, the curtailment penalty costs from Scenario 2 to Scenario 4 decrease in turn. This is because a pressure swing adsorption device is introduced in Scenario 3 to separate hydrogen from the purified gas of the IGFC system, resulting in a decrease in the power generation of the SOFC. The IES consumes more new energy, so the generated curtailment is relatively reduced; in Scenario 4, the improved IGFC system further processes the new energy curtailment by introducing an oxygen storage device. However, the IGFC system in Scenario 2 only introduces a methane synthesis device, lacking the power consumption of the carbon capture system compared with Scenario 1, resulting in some new energy being unable to be consumed in time. Therefore, the curtailment penalty cost in Scenario 2 is higher than that in Scenario 1.
[0113] Table 4 Day-ahead Dispatching Cost Distributions of Each Scenario (in thousand yuan)
[0114]
[0115] This section presents the average in-plant power consumption efficiency within the day of four scenarios as shown in Table 5.
[0116] Table 5 Average In-Plant Power Consumption Efficiency of Each Scenario within the Day (%)
[0117]
[0118] As can be seen from the table, the plant power consumption of the desulfurization device and the air compression device from Scenario 1 to Scenario 4 is relatively stable. Since the methane synthesis device is equipped in Scenarios 2 to 4, the problem of high plant power consumption in the carbon capture system is solved. Coupled with the oxygen storage device equipped in Scenario 4, the new energy abandoned electricity is further utilized to replace the oxygen generated by the IGFC system to supply the internal components, resulting in a further reduction in the plant power consumption of the air separation device of the improved IGFC system and a further increase in the net plant output, verifying the advantage of the improved IGFC system in the overall power generation efficiency.
[0119] The abandoned electricity of the four designed scenarios is as Figure 6 shown.
[0120] From Figure 6 it can be seen that the abandoned electricity of the integrated energy is mainly concentrated in the periods of 24:00 - 6:00 and 11:00 - 15:00. This is because the electricity load is relatively low from 24:00 - 6:00, and the wind energy output is high at night. Even if the system converts and stores the unconsumed wind energy at this time, there will still be some abandoned electricity generated; 11:00 - 15:00 is the golden period of light energy output. At this time, the electricity load is higher than the daily load, but it is not enough to consume all the light energy, thus generating some abandoned electricity. The improved IGFC system makes full use of the function of the oxygen storage device, further consumes some abandoned electricity, reduces the waste of energy, and balances the system output.
[0121] The improved IGFC system introduces an oxygen storage device, converts the new energy abandoned electricity into oxygen and stores it, and jointly undertakes the oxygen supply with the improved IGFC system. The oxygen supply distribution of the improved IGFC system is as Figure 7 .
[0122] It can be obtained from the figure that in the periods of 24:00 - 6:00 and 11:00 - 15:00 when the abandoned electricity is relatively concentrated, the improved IGFC system uses the air separation device to convert part of the abandoned electricity into O2 to supply the needs of the internal components of the improved IGFC system, and stores the unconsumed O2 in the oxygen storage device. At the peak moment of O2 use, the O2 stored in the oxygen storage device is released to replace the demand for the air separation device of the improved IGFC system to supply the internal components, improving the overall net output power of the improved IGFC system.

8. The system according to claim 7, wherein When this system is working and in use, the following steps are adopted: Step 1: Air enters the cryogenic air separation device of the IGFC system and forms high-pressure gas under the compression of the main air compressor. The formed high-pressure gas is sent into the cryogenic air separation tower. The cryogenic air separation tower separates nitrogen and oxygen through cooling. The nitrogen is pressurized by a nitrogen compressor to meet the requirements for transporting coal gas in the IGFC system and is used to transport the coal gas in the IGFC system. A part of the oxygen is preferentially pressurized by an oxygen compressor to meet the pressure requirements of the gasifier and the combustion chamber and is used to supply the oxygen needs of the gasifier and the combustion chamber. Another part is pressurized and stored in an oxygen storage device to consume more new energy abandoned electricity; Step 2: Coal is crushed, ground, and humidified in a coal pretreatment device to form coal slag, which is transported into the gasifier through nitrogen compressed by a nitrogen compressor.
