[0036] Specifically, the energy storage process includes: The abandoned electricity from new energy sources or the peak-shaving electricity from thermal power units is connected to the inductive power control module 10, which is started and begins to be heated using the inductive coil 3 to uniformly heat the metal inner cylinder 201 and the metal outer cylinder 202 in the inductive heating reaction module 2. The metal inner cylinder 201 and the metal outer cylinder 202 are then used to heat the thermochemical energy storage material in the annular material channel 205, causing the thermochemical heat storage material to be thermally decomposed, converting electrical energy into chemical energy of the thermochemical heat storage material.

[0037] (2) Energy release process: The steam participating in the thermochemical reaction is introduced into the annular cylinder through the steam inlet and outlet pipes, so that the steam participating in the thermochemical reaction undergoes a thermochemical reaction with the thermochemical heat storage material in the annular cylinder and releases heat. The released heat is transferred to the outside of the thermochemical reactor 1 through the heat exchange medium flowing through the heat exchange medium channel 204, completing the energy release process.

[0038] Specifically, the energy release process includes: The material in the bottom silo 8 is transferred to the top silo by a material conveyor, and the material in the top silo then enters the interior of the thermochemical reactor 1. The steam participating in the thermochemical reaction is introduced into the annular cylinder through the steam inlet and outlet pipes, so that the steam participating in the thermochemical reaction undergoes a thermochemical reaction with the thermochemical heat storage material in the annular cylinder and releases heat. The released heat is introduced into the heat exchange working medium channel through the heat exchange working medium, and the heat generated by the heat release is quickly taken out.

[0039] The thermochemical energy storage device based on inductive heating described in this embodiment is configured by vertically arranging the inductive heating reaction module in the inductive heating section of the thermochemical reactor, and providing a heat exchange medium channel and an annular material channel in the inductive heating reaction module. Uniform inductive heating is adopted, and the channel is selected as the heating element. It has the advantages of a large heat exchange area and uniform temperature, which is conducive to the rapid and uniform heating of thermochemical materials.

[0040] In this embodiment, the inductive heating has a fast heating rate and can absorb the abandoned electricity of new energy or the peak-shaving electricity of thermal power; when the device is in operation, it can realize the rapid energy storage of batch thermochemical materials and achieve the matching of heating power and heating capacity; by setting the preheating section and the cooling section, reasonable heat utilization is achieved and the heat conversion efficiency is high; by opening steam holes on the wall of the insulating ceramic tube, the steam generated in the heat storage process is discharged and the reaction steam is evenly introduced into the heat release process; by setting an electromagnetic shielding cover in the area of the inductive heating section, the electric heat conversion efficiency is improved and the electromagnetic radiation and loss are reduced; in the heat storage process, the heat of the material in the cooling section is transferred to the circulating working fluid in the cooling section and the preheating section through the circulating pump, and the heat of the cooling section is transported to the preheating section to improve system efficiency.

[0041] The thermochemical energy storage device based on inductive heating described in the present invention adopts the heating principle of induction, and annular cylinders made of stainless steel are coaxially and spaced apart in the inductive heating section of the thermochemical reactor. An annular working fluid channel is set inside each annular cylinder, and a heat exchange working fluid channel is formed between two adjacent annular cylinders. During the energy storage process, the inductive coil uniformly heats the annular cylinder with a larger surface area, so that the thermochemical heat storage material inside it is quickly heated and decomposed to realize the energy storage process; during the energy release process, the heat released by the thermochemical process is quickly conducted to the heat exchange working fluid through the annular cylinder with a larger surface area, thereby realizing the transfer of energy release heat.

[0042] In the present invention, electrical energy can be directly and efficiently converted into thermal energy for driving thermochemical reactions through inductive heating. The inner cavity of the thermochemical reactor is divided into a preheating section, an inductive heating section, and a cooling section. The material can be preliminarily heated in the preheating section to reduce the burden on the inductive heating section. In the cooling section, the material temperature can be quickly lowered after the reaction to facilitate subsequent processing or storage. The annular cylinder design in the inductive heating reaction module, especially the heat exchange medium channel formed between two adjacent annular cylinders, and the annular material channel formed between the metal inner cylinder and the metal outer cylinder, greatly increase the heat exchange area and improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0043] In the present invention, the steam inlet and outlet pipes are distributed in an annular shape at intervals in the annular material channel. Steam and other heat exchange media can be introduced through the steam inlet and outlet pipes to exchange heat with the material in the annular material channel, which helps to discharge the steam generated in the heat storage process and evenly enter the reaction steam in the heat release process, further promoting the heating and reaction process of the material; the induction coil is wound around the outside of the thermochemical reactor and placed in the area of the induction heating section, so that the induction coil can directly heat the induction heating section, reducing heat loss and improving heating efficiency; since the induction heating method has the characteristics of non-contact heating, the direct contact between the heating element and the material is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of wear and corrosion of the equipment and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0044] The above embodiment is only one of the implementation methods that can realize the technical solution of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed by the present invention is not limited only to this embodiment, but also includes changes, replacements and other implementation methods that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention.
