[0002] High-temperature molten salt heat storage technology is one of the key technologies used in the retrofit of existing coal-fired power plants.

Above 450°C, there is a risk of chemical decomposition. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a system based on this, using temperature measurement points, data acquisition and analysis, and conditional execution control to monitor molten salt temperature trends. This allows for systematic, real-time, and accurate assessments of the molten salt system's operating status, molten salt tank temperature matching, and molten salt anti-condensation warnings, leak warnings, and thermal stress warnings.

[0041] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, the exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0042] like Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a steam-molten salt heat storage system provided in an embodiment of the present application, which comprises Figure 1 As can be seen, the steam-molten salt heat storage system includes: a steam-molten salt heater 1, a hot molten salt tank 2, a cold molten salt tank 3, a steam generator 4, a first power valve V-1, a second power valve V-2, and a third power valve V-3. The molten salt side outlet of the steam-molten salt heater 1 is connected to the cold molten salt tank 3 through the first power valve V-1 and to the hot molten salt tank 2 through the second power valve V-2. The molten salt side inlet of the steam-molten salt heater 1 is connected to the cold molten salt tank 3. The steam generator 4 is connected to the hot molten salt tank 2 and the cold molten salt tank 3 respectively. The third power valve V-3 is set at the high-temperature steam inlet of the steam-molten salt heater 1. Specifically, the steam-molten salt heater 1, the hot molten salt tank 2, the cold molten salt tank 3, and the steam generator 4 are interconnected by a molten salt delivery pipeline. In this steam-molten salt heat storage system, the steam-molten salt heater 1 serves as the heat exchanger of the heat storage system, while the steam generator 4 serves as the heat exchanger of the heat release system.

[0043] like Figure 2The figure shows a flow chart of a comprehensive early warning control method for a steam-molten salt heat storage system provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method is based on Figure 1 Based on the steam-molten salt heat storage system shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0044] Step S201: Obtain a first temperature detection value of the temperature field of the main pipe after mixing at the molten salt side outlet of the steam-molten salt heater, and issue an early warning based on the first temperature detection value and control the first power valve and the second power valve to direct the heated molten salt to the hot molten salt tank or the cold molten salt tank.

[0045] This step is to ensure that the molten salt heated by the steam-molten salt heater 1 can enter the molten salt tank (hot molten salt tank 2 or cold molten salt tank 3) with appropriate temperature.

[0046] In order to achieve this goal, the system will monitor in real time the temperature of the mother pipe temperature arrangement temperature field after the molten salt side outlet of the steam-molten salt heater 1 is mixed. Here, the mother pipe temperature arrangement temperature field after the molten salt side outlet of the steam-molten salt heater 1 is mixed ( Figure 1 P-2) is the total pipe temperature after the molten salt is mixed at each level outlet of the steam-molten salt heater 1. Then, corresponding molten salt guidance control is performed according to the monitored first temperature detection value.

[0047] Preferably, in this embodiment, the reference set values ​​to be compared with the first temperature detection value are divided into two levels, high and low, wherein the first set value and the second set value belong to high level I and high level II, and the third set value and the fourth set value belong to low level I and low level II, that is, the values ​​of the first set value and the second set value are higher than the third set value and the fourth set value, and the second set value is higher than the first set value, and the third set value is higher than the fourth set value. Based on the difference in the size of the first temperature detection value, such as Figure 3 As shown, this step may further include:

[0048] Step S2011: When the first temperature detection value is higher than a first set value, an early warning is triggered and the second power valve V-2 is opened in conjunction to guide the heated molten salt to the hot molten salt tank.

[0049] Step S2012: When the first temperature detection value is higher than the second set value, an early warning is triggered and the first power valve V-1 is closed in conjunction.

[0050] Step S2013: When the first temperature detection value is lower than the third set value, an early warning is triggered and the first power valve V-1 is opened in conjunction to guide the heated molten salt to the cold molten salt tank.

[0051] Step S2014: When the first temperature detection value is lower than the fourth set value, an early warning is triggered and the second power valve V-2 is closed in conjunction.

[0052] Through this graded threshold control, the molten salt can automatically and accurately flow to the corresponding cold and hot molten salt tanks according to its actual heating temperature.

[0053] Step S202: obtaining a second temperature detection value of the temperature field of the molten salt side outlet temperature arrangement of the steam-molten salt heater, and controlling the third power valve to trigger an associated protection action based on the second temperature detection value.

[0054] The purpose of this step is to prevent the molten salt temperature at the outlet of the steam-molten salt heater 1 from exceeding the safety upper limit (for example, the decomposition temperature of the HITEC ternary salt). The temperature field of the molten salt outlet temperature of the steam-molten salt heater in this step (i.e. Figure 1 The system monitors the temperature field of P-1 (i.e., the temperature of the molten salt side of the steam-molten salt heater directly at the outlet before mixing) in real time, and then performs corresponding associated protection operations according to the second temperature detection value of the temperature field.

[0055] Preferably, in this embodiment, the reference setting value to be compared with the second temperature detection value is divided into two high temperature thresholds, namely the fifth setting value and the sixth setting value, and the fifth setting value is smaller than the sixth setting value. Figure 4 As shown, this step may further include:

[0056] Step S2021: When the second temperature detection value is higher than the fifth set value, an early warning is triggered and the third power valve V-3 is locked and opened. Here, "locked and opened" means an instruction that does not allow the valve to continue to open.

[0057] Step S2022: When the second temperature detection value is higher than the sixth set value, an early warning is triggered and the third power valve V-3 is closed for protection.

[0058] Step S203: establishing a molten salt circulation process temperature field of the steam-molten salt heat storage system, and starting the electric heating device at the corresponding position according to the real-time temperature data of the molten salt circulation process temperature field to perform preheating and anti-condensation.

[0059] This step is to prevent the molten salt from solidifying in pipes, valves, equipment, etc. due to low temperature. Figure 5 As shown, this step may further include:

[0060] Step S2031: installing temperature measuring elements at the molten salt delivery pipeline, the first power valve, the second power valve, the steam-molten salt heater, the steam generator, the cold salt pump of the cold molten salt tank, and the hot salt pump of the hot molten salt tank.

[0061] First, this embodiment precisely installs temperature measuring elements at key locations where molten salt may flow or remain. These locations include points along the molten salt pipeline, the bodies of the first power valve V-1, the second power valve V-2, and other important valves, the shell of the steam-molten salt heater 1, the shell of the steam generator 1, the cold salt delivery pump on the cold molten salt tank 3 side, and the hot salt delivery pump on the hot molten salt tank 2 side. These measurement points need to be placed at different locations and depths to comprehensively capture temperature information.

[0062] Step S2032: collecting temperature data in real time through the temperature measuring element to establish and monitor the temperature field of the molten salt circulation process.

[0063] The system continuously collects temperature data from all installed temperature measuring elements in real time. It combines these dispersed, real-time temperature readings to dynamically construct and monitor the temperature distribution map of the entire molten salt circulation process, known as the "molten salt circulation process temperature field."

[0064] Step S2033: comparing the real-time temperature data of the temperature field of the molten salt circulation process with a preset anti-condensation temperature threshold, and analyzing and determining whether there is a risk of condensation caused by too low molten salt temperature in the entire or local area of ​​the molten salt circulation process.

[0065] The system continuously compares the real-time temperature data collected from the molten salt circulation process with a pre-set "anti-condensation temperature threshold." This threshold is typically set slightly above the actual freezing point of the molten salt being used. The system analyzes and determines whether the entire circulation process is under-temperature or whether only a localized area (such as a valve or a pipe elbow) is at risk of falling below the threshold.

[0066] Step S2034: When it is determined that there is a condensation risk, an anti-condensation warning signal is issued, and the electric heating device installed in the corresponding risk position or area is started to heat to achieve the purpose of preheating and anti-condensation.

[0067] Once the system determines the risk of molten salt condensation through comparison (i.e., if the temperature at one or more locations falls below the anti-condensation threshold), it immediately issues an "anti-condensation warning" signal to the operator. More importantly, the system automatically identifies the specific locations or areas at risk and precisely activates the electric heating devices installed at those locations to begin heating. This ensures that heating is only applied to the areas that require it, avoiding unnecessary energy waste and achieving targeted preheating and anti-condensation objectives.

[0068] Step S2035: When the temperature of the risk location or area monitored by the temperature measuring element reaches a preset safety or target temperature value, the operation of the corresponding electric heating device is stopped by interlocking.

[0069] After the electric heat tracing device is activated, the system continues to monitor the temperature changes in the heated area through the corresponding temperature measuring elements. When the temperature in the risk location or area is detected to have risen to the preset "safety temperature" or "target temperature value" (this value ensures that the molten salt remains fluid with a certain margin), the control system automatically issues a command to interlock and stop the operation of the corresponding electric heat tracing device. This forms a complete closed-loop automatic control, ensuring effective anti-condensation while also avoiding overheating and energy waste.

[0070] Step S204: obtaining a third temperature detection value of the inner wall temperature of the hot molten salt tank and the cold molten salt tank and a fourth temperature detection value of the internal molten salt medium temperature, and performing a molten salt tank thermal stress warning based on the third temperature detection value and the fourth temperature detection value.

[0071] This step is to monitor and warn the molten salt tank of excessive thermal stress caused by rapid temperature changes or large temperature differences, to prevent damage to the tank. Figure 6 The figure shows the temperature field layout diagram of the molten salt tank provided in the embodiment of the present application. Pa, Pb, and Pc are defined as the temperature field of the inner wall temperature measuring points of the molten salt tank arranged from top to bottom in an array-like angle on the cross section of the molten salt tank; PA, PB, and PC are defined as the temperature field of the molten salt temperature measuring points inside the molten salt tank arranged from top to bottom in an array-like angle on the cross section of the molten salt tank; P1, P2, and P3 are defined as the temperature field of the ceramsite temperature measuring points for leakage monitoring at the bottom of the molten salt tank arranged at an array-like angle on the cross section of the molten salt tank; and P4 is defined as the temperature field of the base temperature measuring points at the bottom of the molten salt tank arranged at an array-like angle on the cross section of the molten salt tank. In each temperature field array, the horizontal direction represents the distribution of temperature measuring points on the cross section of the molten salt tank, and the vertical direction represents the distribution of temperature measuring points on the longitudinal section of the molten salt tank.

[0072] Preferably, Figure 7 As shown, in this step, performing thermal stress warning of the molten salt tank based on the third temperature detection value and the fourth temperature detection value may further include:

[0073] Step S2041: When the temperature difference between adjacent temperature measuring points on the inner wall of the hot molten salt tank and the cold molten salt tank is greater than the seventh set value, and when the temperature difference between any two temperature measuring points on the inner wall of the hot molten salt tank and the cold molten salt tank is greater than the eighth set value, a thermal stress warning is issued, and the seventh set value is less than the eighth set value.

[0074] If the temperature difference between any two adjacent inner wall temperature measurement points exceeds the preset seventh setpoint, a first-level thermal stress warning is triggered. If the temperature difference between any two inner wall temperature measurement points exceeds the preset eighth setpoint, a higher-level thermal stress warning is triggered. This monitoring helps identify localized overheating or undercooling areas, as well as potential stress caused by uneven overall temperature distribution.

[0075] Step S2042: During salt melting, when the wall temperature rise rate of the inner wall of the hot molten salt tank and the cold molten salt tank is higher than the ninth set value and the tenth set value, a thermal stress warning is respectively issued, and the ninth set value is lower than the tenth set value.

[0076] During the specific stage of salt melting in the molten salt tank, the system pays special attention to the rate of change of the tank wall temperature. The average value of all inner wall temperature measurement points (Pa, Pb, Pc) is calculated and its heating rate is monitored. When the average wall temperature is in a certain lower temperature range, if its heating rate is higher than the preset ninth set value, a thermal stress warning is issued. When the average wall temperature rises above a certain higher temperature range, if its heating rate is still higher than the preset tenth set value, a more serious thermal stress warning is issued. This is intended to control the heating process and avoid thermal shock caused by excessive heating.

[0077] Step S2043: When the maximum temperature difference between any two molten salt temperature measuring points in the hot molten salt tank and the cold molten salt tank is greater than the eleventh set value, and the temperature change rate of any molten salt temperature measuring point exceeds the twelfth set value, a thermal stress warning is respectively issued.

[0078] The system also monitors the measuring points (PA, PB, and PC temperature fields) inside the molten salt tank that measure the temperature of the molten salt medium itself. The system calculates the maximum temperature difference between any two molten salt temperature measuring points within the tank. If this maximum temperature difference is greater than the preset eleventh setpoint, a thermal stress warning is issued. This helps detect temperature stratification or uneven convection within the molten salt. At the same time, the system monitors the rate of temperature change at each molten salt temperature measuring point. If the rate of temperature change at any measuring point exceeds the preset twelfth setpoint, a thermal stress warning is issued. This can capture rapid fluctuations in the molten salt temperature.

[0079] Step S205: obtaining fifth temperature detection values ​​of the ceramsite temperatures at the bottoms of the hot molten salt tank and the cold molten salt tank, and determining whether the molten salt has leaked based on the fifth temperature detection values.

[0080] This step uses the temperature measuring points arranged in the ceramsite layer at the bottom of the molten salt tank ( Figure 6 P1, P2, and P3) can be used to indirectly determine whether the molten salt has leaked from the tank.

[0081] Preferably, with Figure 8 As shown, in this step, judging whether the molten salt has leaked based on the fifth temperature detection value may specifically include:

[0082] Step S2051: When the temperature fluctuation of a single temperature measuring point in the temperature field of the ceramsite temperature measuring point for monitoring the tank bottom leakage exceeds the reference value and is higher than the thirteenth set value, an alarm is issued.

[0083] Step S2052: When the temperature fluctuation of a single temperature measuring point in the temperature field of the ceramsite temperature measuring point for monitoring the tank bottom leakage exceeds the reference value and is higher than the fourteenth set value, it is determined that molten salt leakage occurs, and the temperature rise rate curve of all temperature measuring points is used to characterize the molten salt leakage.

[0084] The thirteenth setting value is smaller than the fourteenth setting value.

[0085] Through this method based on temperature monitoring of a specific layer at the bottom of the tank, comparison with a dynamic baseline value, setting of two-level thresholds (alarm and confirmation), and combined with temperature rise rate analysis, step S205 can achieve early detection and confirmation of leakage at the bottom of the molten salt tank, providing key information for timely response measures and preventing the expansion of the accident.

[0086] Step S206: Acquire sixth temperature detection values ​​of the base temperatures of the bottoms of the hot molten salt tank and the cold molten salt tank, and perform early warning and ventilation control based on the sixth temperature detection values.

[0087] Here, the sixth temperature detection value of the base temperature of the hot molten salt tank and the cold molten salt tank bottom is Figure 6 The temperature detection value of the P4 measuring point in.

[0088] Preferably, Figure 9 As shown, in this step, the early warning and ventilation control based on the sixth temperature detection value include:

[0089] Step S2061: When the average temperature of all temperature measuring points in the temperature field of the tank bottom basic temperature measuring points is greater than the fifteenth set value, the ventilation fan of the corresponding molten salt tank is started.

[0090] Step S2062: When the temperature of any temperature measuring point in the temperature field of the tank bottom basic temperature measuring points is greater than the sixteenth set value, the ventilation fan of the corresponding molten salt tank is started.

[0091] Step S2063: When the average temperature of all temperature measuring points in the temperature field of the tank bottom basic temperature measuring points is lower than a normal set value, the ventilation fan of the corresponding molten salt tank is stopped.

[0092] By using this closed-loop control strategy of starting the fan based on the average value and the maximum value of the basic temperature field, and stopping the fan based on the drop in the average value, step S206 can effectively prevent the molten salt tank foundation from overheating, ensure the safety of the facility, and achieve energy-saving operation of the cooling system.

[0093] More preferably, Figure 10 As shown, the above-mentioned comprehensive early warning control method applicable to the steam-molten salt heat storage system provided in this embodiment may further include the following steps of judging the operating status of the system:

[0094] Step S1001: Based on the inlet steam temperature and flow of the steam-molten salt heater, the inlet steam throttle status, the outlet molten salt temperature and flow, and the cold salt pump status of the cold molten salt tank, the operating status of the heat storage side in the steam-molten salt heat storage system is determined.

[0095] The operating states of the heat storage side include: heat storage side operation, heat storage side hot standby and heat storage side cold standby.

[0096] The operation of the heat storage side means that the steam side of the heat storage system is put into operation (judged by the inlet steam temperature and flow of the steam-molten salt heater) and the salt side of the heat storage system is put into operation (judged by the outlet molten salt temperature and flow of the steam-molten salt heater).

[0097] Hot standby on the heat storage side means: the steam side of the heat storage system is put into operation (judged by the steam temperature and flow rate at the inlet of the steam-molten salt heater) and the salt side of the heat storage system is put into operation (judged by the molten salt temperature and flow rate at the outlet of the steam-molten salt heater) and both the steam side and the salt side of the heat storage side are operated at a small flow rate to maintain the system temperature level (maintain the molten salt temperature at the outlet of the steam-molten salt heater is not low).

[0098] Cold standby on the heat storage side: the steam side of the heat storage system is shut down (judged by the steam regulating valve at the inlet of the steam-molten salt heater) and the salt side of the heat storage system is shut down (judged by the status of the cold salt pump of the cold molten salt tank) and the electric heating system is used to maintain the system temperature level (maintain the molten salt temperature at the outlet of the steam-molten salt heater is not low).

[0099] Step S1002: Based on the outlet steam temperature and flow of the steam generator and the status of the hot salt pump of the hot molten salt tank, the operating status of the heat release side in the steam-molten salt thermal storage system is determined.

[0100] The operating states of the heat release side include: heat release side operation, heat release side hot standby, and heat release side cold standby.

[0101] The operation of the heat release side means that the steam side of the heat release system is put into operation (judged by the steam temperature and flow rate at the steam generator outlet) and the salt side of the heat release system is put into operation (judged by the status of the hot salt pump of the molten salt tank).

[0102] Hot standby on the heat release side: the steam side of the heat release system is put into operation (judged by the steam temperature and flow at the steam generator outlet) and the salt side of the heat release system is put into operation (judged by the status of the hot salt pump of the molten salt tank) and both the steam side and the salt side of the heat storage side are operated at a small flow rate to maintain the steam generator outlet temperature level (maintain the outlet steam temperature not low).

[0103] Heat release side cold standby: the steam side of the heat release system is shut down (judged by the outlet steam temperature and flow of the steam generator) and the salt side of the heat release system is shut down (judged by the status of the hot salt pump of the molten salt tank).

[0104] Step S1003: Based on the inlet steam throttle status of the steam-molten salt heater, the cold salt pump status of the cold molten salt tank, the outlet steam temperature and flow of the steam generator, and the hot salt pump status of the hot molten salt tank, determine whether the steam-molten salt thermal storage system is in a silent emptying state.

[0105] When the molten salt heat storage system has no heat storage demand for a long time and no need for molten salt heating in the hot salt tank, or the boiler cannot provide a suitable steam heat source for the molten salt system, the silent emptying mode is started, that is, the molten salt in the molten salt heat storage and heat release system flows back to the salt tank by gravity.

[0106] Silent emptying state: the steam side of the heat storage system is shut down (judged by the inlet steam regulating valve of the steam-molten salt heater) and the salt side of the heat storage system is shut down (judged by the status of the cold salt pump of the cold molten salt tank), and the steam side of the heat release system is shut down (judged by the outlet steam temperature and flow of the steam generator), and the salt side of the heat release system is shut down (judged by the status of the hot salt pump of the hot molten salt tank).

[0107] By judging the heat storage side, heat release side and the overall silent state through these three steps, we can more comprehensively grasp the real-time working mode of the steam-molten salt heat storage system, providing an important basis for operation monitoring, fault diagnosis and optimization control.

[0108] Further preferably, the above-mentioned comprehensive early warning control method for the steam-molten salt heat storage system provided in this embodiment may further include a step of preventing condensation of the molten salt tank: that is, according to the fourth temperature detection value of the molten salt medium temperature inside the hot molten salt tank and the cold molten salt tank, starting a high temperature warning or a low temperature warning, and starting an external tank anti-condensation electric heater of the molten salt tank (such as Figure 6 As shown) to preheat the hot molten salt tank and the cold molten salt tank to prevent condensation.

[0109] As can be seen from the above, the comprehensive early warning control method for steam-molten salt thermal storage systems provided by this invention integrates a comprehensive early warning control solution, including state assessment, temperature control, anti-condensation, leak detection, and thermal stress warning, based on the characteristics of the steam-molten salt thermal storage system and its medium.
