Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power storage and power cycle technology, and more particularly to a method for constructing a superstructured Carnot battery energy storage and power generation system. Background Technology

[0002] In my country's current energy structure, coal-fired power generation still accounts for a large proportion, resulting in a large amount of carbon emissions and energy loss. In order to make efficient use of energy, waste heat recovery technology is currently the most popular and effective technical means.

[0003] Recently, due to its high efficiency, stable operation, and compact size, the supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle system has been widely regarded as a strong competitor to the traditional Rankine cycle system in the field of waste heat recovery. However, the mainstream research method for optimizing supercritical CO2 cycle systems in waste heat recovery is still the traditional enumeration method. This method often fails to fully consider the influence of the cycle configuration when optimizing the optimal design parameters of the supercritical CO2 cycle system.

[0004] Since the loop configuration and design parameters need to be optimized step by step, traditional enumeration methods are inadequate when faced with a large number of loop configurations and are prone to missing the optimal loop configuration. Although enumeration methods are intuitive, easy to understand, and can guarantee finding the exact optimal solution, their drawbacks include a large computational load and low problem-solving efficiency, especially when the enumeration space is large, sometimes even making it impossible to solve with existing computing tools. Therefore, in the optimization design of supercritical CO2 cyclic systems, exploring more efficient optimization methods while considering the interaction between loop configuration and design parameters is of great significance for improving system performance and optimization efficiency.

[0005] The superstructure method is a top-down approach that adds additional components such as coolers, compressors, regenerators, heat exchangers, and expander generators to a traditional supercritical CO2 power cycle system, integrating as many system configurations as possible into a single large system. Therefore, the superstructure method is employed to achieve synergistic optimization of the structural and design parameters of the supercritical CO2 power cycle system through superstructure. By constructing and optimizing a novel superstructure-based supercritical CO2 power cycle, the influence of boundary conditions and equipment parameters on the optimal cycle configuration can be clearly defined. This method not only improves design efficiency but also better adapts to complex system requirements, thereby enhancing overall performance and economy.

[0006] Similarly, the superstructure method can also be applied to the configuration of Carnot battery energy storage systems, integrating multiple energy storage system configurations into a large system to achieve energy storage for various operating conditions. Compared with traditional Carnot battery energy storage systems, this type of Carnot battery energy storage system is more practical and has a wider range of applications.

[0007] Carnot battery energy storage technology is a technology that uses thermal energy to store electrical energy. It has advantages such as being unrestricted by geographical conditions, high energy density, and ease of implementing multi-energy supply. Currently, Carnot battery energy storage technology has made great progress, and many specific Carnot battery systems have been successfully put into operation.

[0008] However, no one has designed or optimized the combined use of Carnot battery energy storage systems with supercritical CO2 power cycle systems. For example, Shi et al. (invention title: Carnot Battery Energy Storage System and Usage Method, application publication number CN115095402A) described in detail a Carnot battery energy storage system and its usage method that efficiently utilizes low-grade industrial waste heat. This Carnot battery energy storage system can be flexibly applied to various industrial scenarios. However, it did not combine it with a supercritical CO2 power cycle system. Zhang et al. (invention title: A Direct Cooling System for Marine Generators Based on Supercritical CO2 Power Cycle, application publication number CN118920766A) provided a direct cooling system for marine generators based on a supercritical carbon dioxide power cycle, which can improve the compactness and lightweighting of marine power waste heat power generation systems. However, there was no further discussion on how to optimize the configuration of the supercritical CO2 power cycle system, nor was the Carnot battery energy storage system integrated. Liu et al. (invention title: A dual-backpressure supercritical carbon dioxide polygeneration system and operation method, application publication number CN112554980A) proposed a dual-backpressure supercritical carbon dioxide polygeneration system and operation method. The system mainly includes a low-backpressure power generation circuit consisting of a turbine, a two-stage main compressor, a re-compressor, a multi-stage regenerator, a cooler, and a boiler; and a high-backpressure circuit where turbine exhaust gas is used for heating network supply after being released by the two-stage regenerator. In terms of CO2 compression, multi-stage compression with diversion was carried out, but there was no further discussion on cooling, heating, and regeneration.

[0009] Therefore, there is currently no effective method to combine multiple Carnot battery energy storage systems with multiple Carnot battery power generation systems, optimize their configurations, and apply them to the land and shipping industries.

[0010] The research direction for workers in this field is to propose an effective and feasible thermodynamic structural method to construct a superstructured Carnot battery energy storage and power generation system, thereby forming a completely new superstructured energy storage and power generation system.

[0065] Example 1

[0066] This invention provides a method for constructing a superstructured Carnot battery energy storage and power generation system. Based on traditional Carnot battery energy storage and power generation systems, it lists various energy storage system configurations and various power generation system configurations, combining them to form a superstructured Carnot battery energy storage and power generation system. This system is superior to traditional Carnot battery energy storage and power generation systems, with improved system performance under various boundary conditions.

[0067] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for constructing a superstructured Carnot battery energy storage and power generation system, the specific steps of which include the following:

[0068] Step 1: Design a top-cycle energy storage system and list various energy storage configurations. During the reheating and compression of the working fluid, multiple reheating processes can effectively improve system performance and increase the stored heat capacity. The temperature rise during multiple compression processes is reduced, and multiple compressions also lead to increased system power consumption; therefore, compressions of four or more times are not considered. From this, we can design: 5 single-cycle heat exchange structures and 5 double-cycle heat exchange structures. The five single-cycle heat exchange structures are: single-cycle regeneration single-compression single-cycle heat exchange configuration, single-cycle regeneration double-compression single-cycle heat exchange configuration, double-cycle regeneration single-compression single-cycle heat exchange configuration, double-cycle regeneration double-compression single-cycle heat exchange configuration, and double-cycle regeneration triple-compression single-cycle heat exchange configuration; the five double-cycle heat exchange structures are: single-cycle regeneration single-compression double-cycle heat exchange configuration, single-cycle regeneration double-compression double-cycle heat exchange configuration, double-cycle regeneration single-compression double-cycle heat exchange configuration, double-cycle regeneration double-compression double-cycle heat exchange configuration, and double-cycle regeneration triple-compression double-cycle heat exchange configuration; all of these are combined to form the most complete superstructure Carnot battery energy storage system. The ten energy storage configurations and the superstructure Carnot battery energy storage system are as follows: Figure 2 As shown. It should be noted that the 10 energy storage configurations can be combined to obtain various superstructure Carnot battery energy storage systems, and all combinations can form the most complete superstructure Carnot battery energy storage system.

[0069] Step 2: Design the bottom-cycle power generation system, using supercritical CO2 as the working fluid. First, design the cold end: When cooling CO2, secondary cooling can effectively reduce compressor energy consumption because it further lowers the compressor inlet temperature. However, as CO2 density increases and compressibility decreases near its critical point, the temperature rise during compression decreases. Therefore, for the superstructure's cooling end, three or more secondary cooling designs will not be considered. By changing the CO2 split ratio and compression ratio, five cold end structures can be designed: basic cooling configuration, split-compression cooling configuration, pre-cooling cooling configuration, intermediate cooling configuration, and intermediate cooling split-compression cooling configuration. These are then combined to form the most complete superstructure Carnot battery power generation system's cold end structure. The five cold end configurations are as follows: Figure 3 As shown. It should be noted that the five cold-end configurations can be combined to obtain various cold-end structures, and all combinations can form the most complete cold-end structure of the superstructure Carnot battery power generation system.

[0070] Step 3: Hot-end Design: In the hot-end section of the superstructured Carnot battery power generation system, if only one heat exchanger (CH) is configured in the system during CO2 heat exchange, the heat stored in the storage tank cannot be fully utilized. Therefore, this invention proposes a solution: introducing three heat exchangers into the system. This design enables the system to achieve two different heat exchange modes: secondary heat exchange and tertiary heat exchange. Furthermore, the system includes a low-temperature regenerator and a high-temperature regenerator, allowing for single-stage and double-stage regeneration. By adjusting the split ratio at the outlet of each main heater, the hot end can be configured for single-stage, double-stage, and tertiary expansion. This flexible system design helps improve thermal efficiency and energy utilization. By changing the CO2 split ratio and compression ratio, four single-split structures and eight double-split structures can be designed. Four single-split structures are included: a secondary heating, single-regeneration, and single-expansion configuration; a secondary heating, secondary regeneration, and single-expansion configuration; a secondary heating, single-regeneration, and secondary-expansion configuration; and a secondary heating, secondary regeneration, and secondary-expansion configuration. Eight dual-split structures are included: a secondary heating, single-regeneration, and single-expansion configuration; a secondary heating, secondary regeneration, and secondary-expansion configuration; a tertiary heating, secondary regeneration, and single-expansion configuration; a tertiary heating, secondary regeneration, and secondary-expansion configuration; a secondary heating, secondary regeneration, and tertiary-expansion configuration; and a tertiary heating, secondary regeneration, and tertiary-expansion configuration. All of these are then combined to form the most complete superstructure Carnot battery power generation system's hot-end structure. Twelve hot-end configurations are listed below. Figure 4 As shown. It should be noted that the 12 hot-end configurations can be combined to obtain a variety of hot-end structures, and all combinations can form the most complete hot-end structure of the superstructure Carnot battery power generation system.

[0071] Step 4: Based on the cold end structure and hot end structure designed in Step 2 and Step 3, merge them all to obtain the superstructure Carnot battery power generation system.

[0072] Step 5: Based on steps 1 and 4, combining the superstructure Carnot battery energy storage system with the superstructure Carnot battery power generation system can realize 600 different configurations of Carnot battery energy storage and power generation systems, resulting in a single superstructure Carnot battery energy storage and power generation system. The superstructure Carnot battery energy storage and power generation system is as follows: Figure 5 As shown.

[0073] Step 6: Based on Step 1, determine the boundary parameters of the top-circulation superstructure Carnot battery energy storage system, including determining the ambient temperature, ambient pressure, heat source temperature, main heat exchanger temperature difference, compressor isentropic efficiency, heat storage tank temperature, storage time, etc.

[0117] Example 3

[0118] The present invention provides a method for constructing a superstructured Carnot battery energy storage and power generation system, which is applied to industrial waste heat applications. The method specifically includes the following steps:

[0119] Step 1: Design a top-cycle energy storage system and list various energy storage configurations. During the reheating and compression of the working fluid, multiple reheating cycles can effectively improve system performance and increase the stored heat capacity. The temperature rise during multiple compressions is reduced, and multiple compressions also increase system power consumption; therefore, compressions of four or more cycles are not considered. From this, we can design: 5 single-cycle heat exchange structures and 5 double-cycle heat exchange structures. The 5 single-cycle heat exchange structures are: single-cycle reheating single-compression single-cycle heat exchange configuration, single-cycle reheating double-compression single-cycle heat exchange configuration, double-cycle reheating single-compression single-cycle heat exchange configuration, double-cycle reheating double-compression single-cycle heat exchange configuration, and double-cycle reheating triple-compression double-cycle heat exchange configuration. The 5 double-cycle heat exchange structures are: single-cycle reheating single-compression double-cycle heat exchange configuration, single-cycle reheating double-compression double-cycle heat exchange configuration, double-cycle reheating single-compression double-cycle heat exchange configuration, double-cycle reheating double-compression double-cycle heat exchange configuration, and double-cycle reheating triple-compression double-cycle heat exchange configuration. All components are then combined to form a superstructure Carnot battery energy storage system. Because industrial waste heat is characterized by high and stable heat source temperatures, the superstructure Carnot battery energy storage system employs a secondary regeneration, tertiary compression, and secondary heat exchange configuration to fully utilize and store the heat from industrial waste heat.

[0120] Step 2: Design the bottom-cycle power generation system, using supercritical CO2 as the working fluid. First, design the cold end: When cooling CO2, secondary cooling can effectively reduce compressor energy consumption because it further lowers the compressor inlet temperature. However, as CO2 density increases and compressibility decreases near its critical point, the temperature rise during compression decreases. Therefore, for the superstructure's cooling end, three or more secondary cooling designs will not be considered. By changing the CO2 split ratio and compression ratio, five cold end structures can be designed: basic cooling configuration, split-compression cooling configuration, pre-cooling cooling configuration, intermediate cooling configuration, and intermediate cooling split-compression cooling configuration. These are then combined to form the cold end structure of the superstructure Carnot battery power generation system. Due to the high heat output and stable heat source characteristics of industrial waste heat, the intermediate cooling split-compression cooling configuration is chosen for the cold end of the superstructure Carnot battery power generation system. This improves the cold end's performance parameters and reduces power consumption.

[0121] Step 3: Hot-end Design: In the hot-end section of the superstructured Carnot battery power generation system, if only one heat exchanger (CH) is configured in the system during CO2 heat exchange, the heat stored in the storage tank cannot be fully utilized. Therefore, this invention proposes a solution: introducing three heat exchangers into the system. This design enables the system to achieve two different heat exchange modes: secondary heat exchange and tertiary heat exchange. Furthermore, the system includes a low-temperature regenerator and a high-temperature regenerator, allowing for single-stage and double-stage regeneration. By adjusting the split ratio at the outlet of each main heater, the hot end can be configured for single-stage, double-stage, and tertiary expansion. This flexible system design helps improve thermal efficiency and energy utilization. By changing the CO2 split ratio and compression ratio, four single-split structures and eight double-split structures can be designed. Four single-split structures are included: a secondary heating, single-regeneration, and single-expansion configuration; a secondary heating, secondary regeneration, and single-expansion configuration; a secondary heating, single-regeneration, and secondary-expansion configuration; and a secondary heating, secondary regeneration, and secondary-expansion configuration. Eight dual-split structures are included: a secondary heating, single-regeneration, and single-expansion configuration; a secondary heating, secondary regeneration, and secondary-expansion configuration; a tertiary heating, secondary regeneration, and single-expansion configuration; a tertiary heating, secondary regeneration, and secondary-expansion configuration; a secondary heating, secondary regeneration, and tertiary-expansion configuration; and a tertiary heating, secondary regeneration, and tertiary-expansion configuration. All these are then combined to form the hot-end structure of the superstructure Carnot battery power generation system. Due to the high heat capacity and stable heat source characteristics of industrial waste heat, the hot-end of the superstructure Carnot battery power generation system selects a tertiary heating, secondary regeneration, and tertiary-expansion configuration. This allows for full utilization of the heat in the storage tank, resulting in higher system efficiency.

[0122] Step 4: Based on the cold end structure and hot end structure designed in Step 2 and Step 3, combine them to obtain the superstructure Carnot battery power generation system.

[0123] Step 5: Based on steps 1 and 4, combine the superstructure Carnot battery energy storage system with the superstructure Carnot battery power generation system to obtain a superstructure Carnot battery energy storage and power generation system. The superstructure Carnot battery energy storage and power generation system is as follows: Figure 2 As shown.

[0136] Step 9: Based on Step 4, determine the optimization variables and their value ranges for the bottom-circulation supercritical CO2 power cycle system, including:

[0137] CO2 mass flow rate: 100-1000 kg / s; Pre-compressor pressure ratio: [1, 3.33]; Maximum pressure: 20-25 MPa; Minimum pressure: 7.63-10 MPa; Expander inlet temperature: 100-680℃; Cooler inlet temperature: 32-75℃; Continuous splitter split ratio: [0, 1]; Discrete splitter split ratio: (0, 1); Main heat exchanger temperature difference: ≥20℃; Regenerator temperature difference: ≥5℃; Cooler temperature difference: ≥5℃.

[0138] Step 10: Based on Steps 8 and 9, calculate the performance parameters of the bottom-circulation superstructured supercritical CO2 power cycle system. The energy models for each component are as follows:

[0139] Net power generation efficiency:

[0153] Step 11: Investigate the influence of key parameters on the optimal structure of the superstructured supercritical CO2 power cycle system:

[0154] (1) Temperature of the heat storage tank: Changes in the heat source temperature directly affect the number of heating and expansion cycles at the hot end. It was found that when the cold end is configured with an intermediate cooling split-flow compression structure and the hot end with a dual-split-flow structure, the higher the heat source temperature, the higher the system's net output power (W). net System thermal efficiency η th Net power generation efficiency η net Heat recovery rate η re All these factors indicate a significant increase, therefore, the higher the temperature of the thermal storage tank, the better. Here, the temperature of the thermal storage tank is set to 700℃.

[0155] (2) Cooling method: The choice between wet cooling and dry cooling directly affects the system structure, particularly the split-flow compression structure at the cold end, and thus the total compressor energy consumption ∑W. comp System net output power W net System thermal efficiency η th It has a significant impact. The net output power (W) of the system under humid and cold conditions. net Heat recovery rate η re Both are superior to dry cooling conditions, and the total compressor energy consumption ∑W comp Below the dry cooling condition. Here, the cooling condition will be wet cooling.

[0156] (3) Equipment parameters: The pressure drop of the heat exchanger, and the isentropic efficiency of the compressor and expansion generator, also affect the configuration of the superstructured supercritical CO2 power cycle system. After determining the temperature of the heat storage tank (heat source temperature) and wet cooling, changing the percentage of pressure drop in the heat exchanger revealed that as the percentage of pressure drop increased, the system's net power output W... net System thermal efficiency η th When the pressure drop percentage exceeds 1%, the structure of the superstructured supercritical CO2 power cycle system will change.

[0157] Step 12: Multi-objective optimization of the system.

[0158] In step 12 of this invention, the existing non-dominated sorting multi-objective genetic algorithm NSGA-II based on the Pareto principle can be used, combined with the sorting decision method TOPSIS that approximates the ideal solution, to effectively solve the system parameter optimization problem and achieve synergistic improvement of thermodynamic and economic performance.

[0159] (1) The top-circulation superstructure Carnot battery energy storage system optimizes each different type of energy storage system. Here, we will use an industrial waste heat Carnot battery energy storage system as an example, and the steps are as follows:

[0160] 1. Selection of objective function:

[0161] Thermodynamic objective function: Select the overall system energy round-trip efficiency η p2pBecause of its thermodynamic cycle mode and energy storage conversion efficiency, it has attracted attention. High round-trip efficiency means that more charging energy is converted into discharging energy, that is: minF1=-η p2p Improve the efficiency of energy storage systems.

[0162] The economic objective function needs to encompass investment, operation and maintenance costs, and lifespan to determine the average cost per unit of stored energy (LCOS). That is: minF2 = LCOS.

[0163] 2. Determining decision variables:

[0164] Taking into account the changes in system performance evaluation indicators, the heat source temperature, energy storage temperature, ambient temperature, heat exchanger pinch point temperature difference, and evaporative superheat were selected as decision variables, with the following value ranges: heat source temperature: 500-700℃; ambient temperature: 20-30℃; heat exchanger pinch point temperature: 0-10℃; evaporative superheat: 4-8℃.

[0165] 3. Optimization algorithm selection:

[0166] The non-dominated sorting multi-objective genetic algorithm NSGA-II based on the Pareto principle is adopted. Since genetic algorithms follow the principle of natural selection and survival of the fittest, they are an effective metaheuristic method for solving complex optimization problems. NSGA-II improves upon the shortcomings of NSGA and features fast operation and good convergence. Its parameters are set as follows: population size 100, number of generations 150, crossover probability 0.8, mutation probability 0.1, and optimal front-end individual coefficient 0.62.

[0167] 4. Application of Decision-Making Methods: The TOPSIS (Topological Solution Approximation Method) is used to determine the optimal solution. The solutions on the Pareto front are normalized using Euclidean normalization.

[0168]

[0169] In the formula, f ij For the normalized solution; F ij This is the i-th solution for the j-th objective.

[0170] To avoid the impact of differences in the order of magnitude of different parameters.

[0171] Based on system characteristics, the round-trip energy efficiency is assigned a weight of 0.2 and the levelized energy storage cost is assigned a weight of 0.8. Let the ideal solution E be... + ={Max(f i1 ),Max(f i2 Non-ideal solution E - ={Min(f i1 ),Min(f i2 )}.

[0172] Calculate the Euclidean distance between each solution on the Pareto front and the ideal and non-ideal solutions:

[0173]

[0174] In the formula, D i + D is the Euclidean distance between each solution on the Pareto front and the ideal solution; i - E represents the Euclidean distance between each solution and the non-ideal solution on the Pareto front; + For the ideal solution; E - The solution is non-ideal; f ij The solution is normalized.

[0175] The optimal solution is the one that is closest to the ideal solution and furthest from the non-ideal solution.

[0176]

[0177] In the formula, R i The optimal solution is D. i + D is the Euclidean distance between each solution on the Pareto front and the ideal solution; i - Let be the Euclidean distance between each solution and the non-ideal solution on the Pareto front.

[0178] (2) For bottom-circulation superstructure Carnot battery power generation systems, improving the system's thermodynamic performance would increase its complexity, leading to higher economic costs. Therefore, a multi-objective optimization method is used to balance economic efficiency and thermodynamic performance. This objective is achieved by optimizing the system structure as an optimization variable.

[0179] This invention employs the MIDACO algorithm for multi-objective optimization, and the process steps are as follows:

[0180] 1. Initialization phase: Initialize the pheromone constant, pheromone factor, pheromone evaporation factor, heuristic function factor and time t required for ant colony algorithm calculation.

[0181] 2. MIDACO randomly generates A ants using a pseudo-random number generator, which is A sets of optimization variables.

[0182] 3. Matlab software transfers randomly generated Group A optimization variables to an Aspen Hysys spreadsheet via an ActiveX control. Thermodynamic calculations are then performed within Aspen Hysys to obtain the objective function values ​​corresponding to the optimization variables.

[0183] 4. The obtained objective function value is fed back to Matlab by Aspen Hysys, where the minimum objective function for the current number of calculations is determined.

[0184] 5. Determine if the computation has reached the termination condition. Here, the maximum number of computations and the maximum computation time are chosen as the termination conditions. If the termination condition is reached, output the minimum objective function and the corresponding optimization variable; if the termination condition is not reached, update the pheromone concentration and continue the iteration.

[0185] Step 13: End.
