Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of mechanical manufacturing, and in particular, to an energy storage and power generation device for vertically installing a lens to concentrate light and heat a high-boiling-point fluid. Background Art

[0002] The existing solar thermal energy storage and power generation devices mainly use reflective light concentration for heating. The main disadvantages are that they occupy a huge area, have poor wind resistance, cause large light pollution, and have high requirements for the flatness of the terrain. This results in that solar thermal energy storage and power generation devices can only be concentrated and large-scale built into large power plants and cannot be developed distributively. For current wind turbines, the power solely depends on wind power, and the wind power resources fluctuate greatly, resulting in unstable power generation and difficult grid management. Moreover, in the existing integrated wind-solar-storage power generation facilities, the light mainly refers to photovoltaic power generation, which still requires a large land area and causes large subsequent environmental pollution. Even for those using solar thermal power generation, they still have the disadvantages of the aforementioned reflective solar thermal power generation devices. In view of the above deficiencies, the present invention proposes an energy storage and power generation device for vertically installing a lens to refract and concentrate light and heat a high-boiling-point fluid. Further, this device can be combined with the existing wind turbines to form a wind-solar-thermal energy storage integrated generator, which can improve the power generation stability and power generation per unit area of the existing wind turbines and solar thermal generators, and reduce the difficulty of grid management. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a vertically installed rotatable lens light concentration assembly for heating a high-boiling-point fluid for energy storage and power generation. While realizing the above functions, due to the reduced projected area on the ground by vertical installation, compared with the existing devices, it not only saves land use area but is also completely unrestricted by the terrain flatness, thus realizing the distributed construction and use of solar thermal energy storage and power generation devices.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: An energy storage device for vertically installing a lens to concentrate light and heat a high-boiling-point fluid, comprising a vertically installed heat-conducting and sealed outer tube 2. An axial circulating inner tube 4 is sleeved in the heat-conducting and sealed outer tube 2. The upper end of the circulating inner tube 4 is open, and the lower end passes through the bottom sealing layer of the heat-conducting and sealed outer tube 2 and is connected to a heat-insulating and sealed container 10. There is a high-boiling-point fluid inlet 6 at the bottom of the heat-conducting and sealed outer tube 2. The high-boiling-point fluid inlet 6 is connected to an energy storage circulating pump 8 through a pipeline. The other end of the energy storage circulating pump 8 is connected to the heat-insulating and sealed container 10 through a pipeline to form a closed loop. There is a high-boiling-point fluid 12 in the cavity of the entire circulating loop and in the heat-insulating and sealed container 10. A rotatable bracket 14 is arranged outside the heat-conducting and sealed outer tube 2. A linear light concentration lens assembly 16 is fixed on the rotatable bracket 14. The linear light concentration lens assembly 16 focuses light on the surface of the heat-conducting and sealed outer tube 2.

[0005] Optionally, based on the above structure, a heat exchange coil 30 is added inside the heat-insulating and sealed container 10. One end of the heat exchange coil 30 is connected to the evaporation liquid inlet 26, and the other end is connected to the steam turbine 32, and the steam turbine 32 outputs power to the generator set 34; Optionally, based on the above structure, an evaporator 24 is added. The evaporator 24 includes an evaporation liquid flow inlet 26 and a steam outlet 28.

[0007] Optionally, the cross-sectional angle range of the linear concentrating cylindrical lens 46 is ±1 - 360 degrees. According to different environmental conditions, linear concentrating cylindrical lenses with different cross-sectional angles can be selected to improve their wind resistance performance. For example, in areas with strong winds, a linear concentrating cylindrical lens with a cross-sectional angle of 360 degrees can be selected to improve its wind resistance performance. In areas with weak winds, a linear concentrating cylindrical lens with a cross-sectional angle of 180 degrees can be selected, which can further reduce the weight and save material costs compared with the linear concentrating cylindrical lens with a cross-sectional angle of 360 degrees.

[0008] Optionally, a rotatable bracket 14 is provided between the heat-conducting and sealed outer tube 2 and the linear concentrating lens assembly 16. Under the drive of an external system through the rotatable bracket 14, the linear concentrating lens assembly 16 can be rotated around the heat-conducting and sealed outer tube 2 to support the synchronization of the linear concentrating lens assembly 16 with the solar azimuth angle.

[0009] Optionally, the condenser assembly and the heat collection assembly of the device can be installed on a rotatable platform to replace the rotatable bracket, and the rotatable bracket becomes a fixed bracket.
