Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of flexible coal-fired power generation technology, specifically to a flue gas heat storage and release system and method based on multi-distribution particle segregation. Background Technology
[0002] Due to the intermittency, volatility, and priority access of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power in the power system, traditional thermal power units need to improve their flexibility and frequently participate in peak shaving tasks.
[0003] To improve the load-change rate of power units, integrated thermal storage technology is an effective method that has gained significant attention in recent years. Common flexible thermal power units using integrated thermal storage technology add a heat exchanger, thermal storage medium, and steam generator to the original unit. During periods of low grid load, excess energy from the power unit is stored in the thermal storage medium; during peak grid load periods, the energy in the thermal storage medium is converted into steam to drive the turbine for power generation.
[0004] Currently, the main heat storage media used in peak shaving of thermal power units are molten salt and solid particles, typically heated by steam or electricity during the heat storage process. Compared to these two methods, flue gas heating overcomes the narrow-point heat transfer limitations of steam-water heat storage, significantly improving heat storage efficiency. Furthermore, the flue gas heat source temperature exceeds 700°C, achieving a larger heat transfer temperature difference and higher energy grade. However, because high-temperature flue gas contains dust and is corrosive, it is essential to add flue gas dust collectors and wear- and corrosion-resistant flue gas heat exchangers, which increases the cost of integrated heat storage systems. In addition, the high cost, corrosiveness, temperature limitations, and environmental safety concerns inherent in molten salt also restrict its widespread application.
[0005] While current integrated thermal storage technology can improve the load change rate of power units, the numerous new components in this integrated system result in high retrofit and ongoing operating costs. In reality, existing thermal power units consist of three main components: boiler, turbine, and generator. The boiler is the key factor limiting the load change rate, and delays in the pulverizing system are a major constraint on improving the boiler's load change rate. Therefore, utilizing integrated thermal storage technology to address boiler pulverizing system delays and enhance boiler flexibility is a novel approach to improving the unit's load change rate.
[0006] The most commonly used integrated thermal storage system is molten salt thermal storage. However, due to the dust and corrosiveness of high-temperature flue gas, it is necessary to add flue gas dust collectors and wear- and corrosion-resistant flue gas heat exchangers, which increases the cost of the integrated thermal storage system. In addition, the high cost, corrosiveness, temperature limitations, and environmental safety issues of molten salt itself also limit its widespread application. Other integrated thermal storage systems, such as the fluidized bed heat exchange system and heat exchanger for integrated thermal storage and power generation disclosed in CN 114963819 A, use electric heating to heat solid particles, converting high-grade electricity into low-grade heat storage, resulting in a decrease in energy grade. Additional supercritical carbon dioxide heat exchange equipment and turbine equipment are also required, leading to high investment costs. Another example is the device and method for improving the flexibility of a unit using flowing fly ash thermal storage for co-generation and heating disclosed in CN118462344 A. This system utilizes flowing fly ash to absorb steam heat when there is excess power generation, and converts the stored heat back into electricity and heat when power generation is insufficient. This device has high equipment investment costs, and the particle transportation of the hot and cold tanks requires a significant amount of energy. For example, CN 217402525 U discloses a thermal energy storage system for peak shaving in thermal power generation. This system utilizes particles entering the boiler to absorb heat. After dust removal from the particles, a particle heat exchanger is used to transfer the heat from the particles to the steam for peak shaving. This system requires the continuous transport of particles, resulting in high energy consumption. In addition, it requires particle dust collectors, particle heat exchangers, storage tanks, and other equipment, leading to a large investment.
[0007] It is evident that existing integrated heat storage technologies, whether by adding a steam generation system or adding turbine equipment, do not address the issue of improving the boiler's own flexibility and thus have significant limitations. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flue gas heat storage and release system based on multi-distribution particle segregation to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0009] Another objective of this invention is to provide a method for storing and releasing heat in flue gas based on multi-distributed particle segregation.
[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a flue gas heat storage and release system based on multi-distribution particle segregation, comprising:
[0011] The boiler is equipped with an SCR denitrification reactor, an economizer and an air preheater. The upper furnace of the boiler is provided with a flue gas outlet and the lower furnace of the boiler is provided with a flue gas return outlet.

Under the excitation of vibration, the mixed filter media particles can form a multi-distributed particle system to automatically complete the arrangement and thickness adjustment of the particle bed.
[0013] The vibrating particle bed is provided with a first flue gas inlet and a second flue gas inlet. In the heat storage state, the flue gas flows from the first flue gas inlet to the second flue gas inlet and exchanges heat with the low-temperature mixed filter media particles inside the particle layer. In the heat release state, the flue gas flows from the second flue gas inlet to the first flue gas inlet and exchanges heat with the high-temperature mixed filter media particles inside the particle layer.
[0014] The flue gas mixer is provided with a third flue gas inlet, a fourth flue gas inlet, and a mixed flue gas outlet. The first flue gas inlet of the vibrating particle bed is connected to the return flue gas outlet of the boiler through a third flue gas pipeline and is provided with a first control valve. The flue gas outlet of the boiler is connected to the third flue gas pipeline through a first flue gas pipeline and is provided with a second control valve. The flue gas outlet of the economizer is connected to the fourth flue gas inlet of the flue gas mixer through a second flue gas pipeline and is provided with a fourth control valve and a first fan. The second flue gas inlet of the vibrating particle bed is connected to the third flue gas inlet of the flue gas mixer. The mixed flue gas outlet of the flue gas mixer delivers the mixed flue gas to the front end of the SCR denitrification reactor through a fourth flue gas pipeline and is provided with a second fan and a fifth control valve.
[0015] The exhaust port of the air preheater is connected to the second flue gas pipeline via the fifth flue gas pipeline downstream of the first fan and is equipped with a third control valve.
[0016] Optionally, the vibrating particle bed is provided with multiple first flue gas inlets and multiple second flue gas inlets, and the flue gas mixer is provided with multiple third flue gas inlets; the third flue gas pipeline is connected to each of the first flue gas inlets through multiple branch pipelines, and each of the second flue gas inlets is connected to the corresponding third flue gas inlet.
[0017] Optionally, the first flue gas outlet is located at the top of the vibrating particle bed, and the second flue gas outlet is located on the side or bottom of the vibrating particle bed.
[0018] Optionally, the first flue gas outlet is located on a first side of the vibrating particle bed, and the second flue gas outlet is located on a second side or bottom of the vibrating particle bed.
[0019] Optionally, a porous partition baffle is provided between the particle layer and the ash removal layer of the vibrating particle bed.
[0020] Optionally, the aperture D of the partition baffle g Smaller than the minimum diameter D of the mixed filter media particles l Larger than the diameter D of the dust particles f .
[0021] Optionally, the ash removal layer is provided with heat exchange tubes for recovering residual heat from the dust during ash removal.
[0022] Optionally, the boiler's flue gas return port is located on the upper side of its burner and has a flue gas return path structure with four corner tangents or four wall tangents.
[0023] Optionally, the mixed filter media particles may include pebbles, quartz sand, alumina, silicon carbide, or basalt particles.
[0024] To achieve another objective mentioned above, the present invention provides a flue gas heat storage and release method based on multi-distribution particle segregation, which is used in any of the above-mentioned flue gas heat storage and release systems based on multi-distribution particle segregation, comprising:
[0025] Before thermal storage, a certain proportion of mixed filter media particles of different sizes are filled into the vibrating particle bed according to the incoming flow conditions; the vibrating particle bed is started, and the mixed filter media particles form a multi-distributed particle system under the excitation of vibration, automatically completing the arrangement and thickness adjustment of the particle bed.
[0026] During heat storage, the first and fourth control valves remain closed, while the second, third, and fifth control valves are open. The flue gas in the upper furnace of the boiler enters the vibrating particle bed under the traction of the second fan. Based on the inlet and outlet pressure drop of the vibrating particle bed, the vibrating particle bed is started and stopped at a certain vibration frequency and amplitude to achieve efficient heat exchange and dust removal between hot flue gas and cold particles under low pressure drop conditions. The flue gas at the outlet of the air preheater is mixed with the flue gas at the outlet of the vibrating particle bed in the flue gas mixer, and the mixed flue gas enters the front end of the SCR denitrification reactor.
[0027] During heat release, the first and fourth control valves are opened, while the second, third, and fifth control valves remain closed. The flue gas from the economizer outlet enters the vibrating particle bed under the traction of the first fan, completing the efficient heat exchange between the cold flue gas and the hot particles. After the heat exchange, the flue gas returns to the lower furnace of the boiler along the flue.
[0028] The flue gas heat storage and release system and method based on multi-distributed particle segregation provided by this invention differs from previous integrated heat storage systems. It eliminates the need for a separate steam generation system and directly utilizes the heat storage and release of the multi-distributed particle system to achieve cross-temporal and spatial utilization of boiler flue gas heat, forming a flexible thermal power unit based on the multi-distributed particle segregation flue gas heat storage and release system. When the grid load is low, the excess high-temperature flue gas in the boiler is introduced into a vibrating particle bed containing the multi-distributed particle system. When the grid load is high, the low-temperature flue gas displaces the energy stored in the multi-distributed particle system, transforming it into high-temperature flue gas which is then released back into the furnace. Steam is generated using the boiler's own steam generation system, effectively improving the boiler's flexibility. The multi-distributed particles can be directly sourced from natural resources, such as pebbles and quartz sand, which are inexpensive and easily obtained. The vibrating particle bed remains stationary most of the time, resulting in low energy consumption. The capture of dust particles in the flue gas enables the utilization of dust heat. Furthermore, throughout the process, the multi-distributed particle system serves as a heat storage medium, a heat exchanger, and a dust collector, reducing the equipment cost and subsequent maintenance costs of the integrated heat storage system.

Moreover, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one component from another that has the same name, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these components.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a flue gas heat storage and release system based on multi-distribution particle segregation.

Under the excitation of vibration, the mixed filter media particles 15 can form a multi-distributed particle system 13 to automatically complete the arrangement and thickness adjustment of the particle bed.
[0045] To prevent the vibrating particle bed 12 from causing tension or damage to the connecting pipeline, the flue gas pipeline connected to the vibrating particle bed 12 can be made of a flexible or elastic pipe, for example, a corrugated pipe, to eliminate or block the transmission of vibration upstream and downstream along the flue gas pipeline.

By controlling the valve opening, a certain amount of flue gas from the upper furnace of boiler 3 is drawn into the vibrating particle bed 12. The type of the second control valve 2 is not limited.
[0052] The outlet of the economizer 5 is connected to the fourth flue gas outlet D of the flue gas mixer through the second flue gas pipeline and is equipped with a fourth control valve 8 and a first fan 9. The first fan 9 is located in the outlet pipeline of the economizer 5 to reduce the operating temperature and dust wear of the second fan 11.
[0053] The first fan 9 provides power for the flow of flue gas during the heat release process and conveys the flue gas from the economizer outlet to the vibrating particle bed 12 for heat exchange.
[0054] The second flue gas port B of the vibrating particle bed 12 is connected to the third flue gas port C of the flue gas mixer 14. The mixing outlet E of the flue gas mixer 14 transports the mixed flue gas to the front end of the SCR denitrification reactor 4 through the fourth flue gas pipeline. A second fan 11 and a fifth control valve 10 are provided. The second fan 11 is located at the mixing outlet E of the flue gas mixer 14 to reduce the operating temperature and dust wear of the second fan 11.
[0055] The second fan 11 provides power for the flow of flue gas in the heat storage process and transports the mixed flue gas to the front end of the SCR denitrification reactor 4.
[0056] The flue gas outlet of the air preheater 6 is connected to the second flue gas pipeline downstream of the first fan 9 via the fifth flue gas pipeline and is equipped with a third control valve 7. The third control valve 7 opens during heat storage, and by controlling the valve opening, a certain amount of flue gas from the air preheater 6 outlet is drawn into the flue gas mixer 14. Adjusting the opening of the third control valve 7 controls the outlet temperature of the flue gas mixer 4, ensuring the efficient operation of the SCR denitrification reactor 4.

According to the inlet and outlet pressure drop of the vibrating particle bed 12, the vibrating particle bed 12 is started and stopped at a certain vibration frequency and amplitude to complete the efficient heat exchange and dust removal of hot flue gas and cold particles under low pressure drop conditions. The flue gas at the outlet of the air preheater 6 and the flue gas at the outlet of the vibrating particle bed 12 are mixed in the flue gas mixer 14, and the mixed flue gas enters the front end of the SCR denitrification reactor 4.
[0062] Under exothermic conditions, the first control valve 1 and the fourth control valve 8 are opened, while the second control valve 2, the third control valve 7 and the fifth control valve 10 remain closed. The flue gas from the economizer 5 outlet enters the vibrating particle bed 12 under the traction of the first fan 9, completing the efficient heat exchange between the cold flue gas and the hot particles. After the heat exchange, the flue gas returns to the lower furnace of the boiler 3 along the flue.

Targeted adjustments can be made according to actual needs to obtain different implementation methods. For example, heat exchange tubes can be added to the ash discharge layer to recover residual heat from the dust during ash discharge, etc. Since there are many possible implementation methods, they will not be listed here.
[0064] In addition to the flue gas heat storage and release system based on multi-distribution particle segregation described above, this invention also provides a flue gas heat storage and release method based on multi-distribution particle segregation, comprising the following steps:
