[0002] Against the backdrop of the current accelerated transformation of the energy structure, the scale of power generation from renewable energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaics continues to expand; however, the power generation side of such unstable power sources is difficult to match the load demand during peak electricity consumption, and the problem of insufficient power supply capacity becomes prominent. When the installed capacity of wind power and photovoltaics exceeds the regulation capacity of the power grid, the phenomenon of wind and solar power abandonment occurs frequently.
[0003] To effectively address the above challenges, energy storage technology becomes the key. Among the many energy storage methods, molten salt energy storage has become a highly promising solution due to its significant advantages such as high heat storage efficiency and large heat storage capacity.

[0014] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0015] See also Figure 1-4 The present invention describes the above technical solution in detail through the following embodiments: This embodiment is based on an electrically heated molten salt utilization plant, including a molten salt container 1 electrically connected to an electric heating device 2. The molten salt container 1 is an application of an existing product, so no further explanation is given. Figure 1 As shown, the molten salt container device 1 is connected to the original industrial steam supply main pipe and the steam turbine 3 through the steam supply pipe 9 arranged in parallel. This part of the hot steam can be transported into the original industrial steam supply main pipe to provide heating. If there is a lot of excess steam, the valve of the steam supply pipe 9 connected to the steam turbine 3 can be opened to allow steam to enter the steam turbine 3 for steam power generation; the power supply of the electric heating device 2 in this application comes from the electrically connected generator 4, and the generator 4 provides power generation through the connected steam turbine 3; the molten salt utilization plant of this embodiment is respectively installed as follows Figure 2-Figure 4 In the double-storey factory building shown, a three-dimensional installation layout is formed, which can make full use of the space and save on factory construction.
[0016] The molten salt container 1 is connected to the deaerator 5 through the water supply pipe 10. In order to obtain the return water source, the return water of the heat user is collected and connected to the return water tank 8 through the heat user return water pipe. The return water pipe 13 is connected between the deaerator 5 and the return water tank 8. Figure 1 In the structure shown, a return water recirculation pipe 14 is installed in parallel between the return water pipe 13 and the return water tank 8 , and a return water pump 7 is installed on the return water pipe 13 to transport water to the deaerator 5 .
[0017] In this embodiment, a deoxidizing heating steam pipe 12 is connected between the deaerator 5 and the original industrial steam supply main pipe. The deoxidizing heating steam pipe 12 can also utilize the exhaust steam of the unit to realize the exhaust steam consumption of part of the unit. In order to form a circulation structure, such as Figure 1 In the structure shown, a water recirculation pipe 11 is installed between the deaerator 5 and the water supply pipe 10, and a water supply pump 6 is installed on the pipe body close to the deaerator 5. The water flow can be introduced into the molten salt container device 1 through the water supply pump 6.
[0018] The working principle of the molten salt utilization plant based on electric heating in this embodiment is as follows: energy storage and utilization are achieved through two core processes: heat storage and heat release. In the heat storage stage, unstable electric energy such as abandoned wind and solar power is used, and the electric energy generated by the generator 4 drives the electric heating device 2 to heat the molten salt in the molten salt container 1 to a high temperature state, completing the conversion and storage of electric energy into thermal energy; in the heat release stage, when electricity or heat is needed, water flow is drawn out to generate steam for heat exchange, and the stored heat energy is released and then cooled to become molten salt. The steam can be used to drive the steam turbine 3 to generate electricity or be directly incorporated into the original industrial steam supply main for heating, thereby realizing the cross-time allocation and efficient utilization of energy.
