Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a heating system and an operating method suitable for cross-seasonal storage and deep peak regulation of waste heat of an air-cooled thermal power unit, belonging to the technical field of comprehensive energy utilization and heating supply. Background Art
[0002] Waste heat recovery heating technology: This technology recycles low-grade energy emitted by industrial equipment, such as high-temperature flue gas from process equipment and primary cooling circulating water from coking plants in steel enterprises. During the recovery process, heat exchangers are installed in the flue to transfer heat from the flue gas to the circulating water. Alternatively, other heat exchange equipment is used to transfer heat from waste heat and wastewater to a usable medium, thereby converting low-grade thermal energy into usable heat.
[0003] Geothermal heat pump technology utilizes shallow geothermal resources on the Earth's surface for both heating and cooling. In winter, the heat pump unit draws heat from the ground to heat the building. In summer, it absorbs heat from indoor spaces and transfers it back to the ground, providing air conditioning and cooling. The operating principle is that a compressor applies work to the refrigerant, causing it to undergo a vapor-to-liquid conversion cycle to achieve heat transfer.
[0004] Hot water storage tank technology: As a container for storing hot water, it provides basic insulation and storage functions, equipped with a water inlet, outlet, and temperature monitoring device. It utilizes the high specific heat capacity of water to introduce heat transfer water into the tank to store heat. When needed, the hot water is released to provide heat energy to heat-consuming equipment, maintaining a constant water temperature and meeting short-term hot water needs.
[0005] Waste heat recovery is incomplete and inefficient: Most existing waste heat recovery technologies only target a single waste heat source and are unable to fully recover the various waste heat generated by air-cooled thermal power units, resulting in a large amount of waste heat waste.
[0006] Lack of cross-seasonal heat storage capability: Traditional heat storage technologies, whether hot water storage tanks or other heat storage methods, can generally only achieve short-term storage of heat in the current season. They are unable to effectively store heat from periods of excess waste heat such as summer for use in seasons with high heating demand such as winter, making it difficult to achieve cross-seasonal allocation and efficient utilization of heat.
[0007] Inadequate peak-shaving capacity: During peak and off-peak periods, heating power cannot be flexibly and quickly adjusted to meet fluctuating user demand, resulting in unstable heating quality. Furthermore, the existing system lacks a coordinated peak-shaving mechanism between its various components, hindering its overall efficiency and making deep peak-shaving difficult. The system is unable to adapt to fluctuations in heat sources and load variations, easily leading to insufficient energy supply or energy waste.
[0008] Low system integration: Existing technologies often operate independently of each other, including waste heat recovery, heat storage, and heat supply, resulting in a low level of integration. This lack of close integration between these links and poor information exchange prevents unified and efficient regulation of the entire system based on factors such as actual waste heat generation, heat load demand, and energy price fluctuations. This limits the overall efficiency of energy utilization and overall system performance. Summary of the Invention

The first inlet of the compression heat pump is connected to pump four. The second outlet of the compression heat pump is connected to pump five. The second inlet of the compression heat pump is connected to valve eleven. The heating network heating subsystem includes: valve 12, pump 6, extraction steam heat exchanger, valve 13, valve 14, valve 15, valve 16, pump 7, valve 17, valve 18 and pump 8; Valve 12 is connected to the first outlet of the extraction steam heat exchanger, and valve 12 is also connected to pump 1. The high-temperature and high-pressure steam outlet of the boiler is connected to the first inlet of the steam heat exchanger through pump 6. The second inlet of the steam heat exchanger is connected to valve 15, valve 16, valve 17 and valve 18 respectively through valve 13. Valve 15 is also connected to valve 2.

The second outlet of the extraction steam heat exchanger is connected to valve 16 and pump 7 respectively through valve 14, and pump 7 is connected to the primary network water supply.
[0013] In a second aspect, the present invention further discloses an operating method of a heating system suitable for storing and utilizing waste heat from air-cooled thermal power units across seasons and performing deep peak load regulation based on the first aspect, comprising: During the non-heating season, when the thermal power unit is in operation, the cooling and heat exchange subsystem is used as the heat source, and the exhaust steam condensation heat at the turbine outlet and the waste heat from the boiler flue gas are used to heat the thermal storage subsystem. During the non-heating season, the thermal power unit is shut down and the heat stored in the hot water thermal storage tank is used to heat the inter-seasonal thermal soil. The cooling and heat exchange subsystem and the heat network heating subsystem are shut down. During the heating season, only the thermal power units are operating to extract steam and provide waste heat for heating. The cooling and heat exchange subsystem and the heating network heating subsystem are used as heat sources to heat the return water of the heating network. The heat pump subsystem and the heat storage subsystem are in a shutdown state.
[0014] Furthermore, in the non-heating season, the thermal power unit operates under the following conditions: the cooling heat exchange subsystem is used as the heat source, and the exhaust steam condensation heat at the turbine outlet and the waste heat of the boiler flue gas are used to supply heat to the thermal storage subsystem: Valve 1, flow control valve 1, flow control valve 2, valve 2, valve 3, valve 5, valve 6, valve 8, pump 1, and pump 2 are open; valve 4, valve 7, valve 9, valve 10, valve 11, valve 12, valve 13, valve 14, valve 15, valve 16, valve 17, valve 18, compression heat pump, pump 3, pump 4, pump 5, pump 6, pump 7, and pump 8 are closed; the cooling heat exchange subsystem and the buried pipe form a heat storage circulation system to recover the condensation heat of the exhaust steam at the turbine outlet and the waste heat of the boiler flue gas; the heat pump subsystem and the heat network heating subsystem are in a shutdown state; Driven by pump one, the steam at the turbine outlet is divided into two paths and enters the air-cooling island and the air-cooled condenser respectively through flow control valve one and flow control valve two. After releasing heat, it is condensed and discharged. The heat source water flows into the air-cooled condenser through valve three to absorb the condensation heat of the steam at the turbine outlet and its temperature rises. Then it flows into the flue gas waste heat exchanger through pump two and valve one, further absorbs the waste heat of the boiler flue gas, and then flows into the buried pipe through valve two, valve five, and valve six to heat the soil and store heat. The temperature of the heat source water decreases after flowing through the buried pipe, and then it flows back to valve three, forming a cycle to continuously recover the condensation heat of the exhaust steam at the turbine outlet and the waste heat of the boiler flue gas.
[0015] Furthermore, when the hot water flow at the outlet of valve two exceeds a preset upper limit, valves four, seven, and ten are opened, and the hot water at the outlet of valve two flows into the high-temperature layer of the hot water thermal storage tank through valve four for heat storage. At the same time, the cold water in the low-temperature layer of the hot water thermal storage tank flows back to valve three through valves seven and ten, forming a cycle.
[0016] Furthermore, when the hot water flow at the outlet of valve two is lower than the preset lower limit, pump three, valve seven, and valve ten are opened, and the hot water in the high-temperature layer of the hot water storage tank flows into the buried pipe through pump three, valve five, and valve six as compensation. At the same time, the cold water at the outlet of valve eight flows into the low-temperature layer of the hot water storage tank through valve ten and valve seven, forming a circulation.
[0017] Furthermore, in the non-heating season, the thermal power unit is shut down and the heat stored in the hot water thermal storage tank is used to heat the cross-seasonal thermal storage soil. The cooling and heat exchange subsystem and the heat network heating subsystem are shut down in the following operation mode: Valve 5, Valve 6, Valve 7, Valve 8, Valve 10, and Pump 3 are open; Valve 1, Flow Control Valve 1, Flow Control Valve 2, Valve 2, Valve 3, Valve 4, Valve 9, Valve 11, Valve 12, Valve 13, Valve 14, Valve 15, Valve 16, Valve 17, Valve 18, Compression Heat Pump, Pump 1, Pump 2, Pump 4, Pump 5, Pump 6, Pump 7, and Pump 8 are closed; the hot water thermal storage tank and the underground pipe form a heat storage circulation system, using the heat stored in the hot water thermal storage tank during the unit operation phase to continuously store heat in the underground pipe; The hot water in the high temperature layer of the hot water storage tank flows into the buried pipe through pump three, valve five, and valve six to heat the soil and store heat. After the temperature drops, it flows back to the low temperature layer of the hot water storage tank through valves eight, valve ten, and valve seven, forming a cycle.
[0018] Furthermore, in the heating season, only the thermal power units are operating to extract steam and provide waste heat for heating. The cooling and heat exchange subsystem and the heating network heating subsystem serve as heat sources to heat the return water of the heating network. The heat pump subsystem and the heat storage subsystem are in a shutdown state. The operating mode is as follows: Valve 1, flow control valve 1, flow control valve 2, valve 2, valve 3, valve 10, valve 13, valve 14, valve 15, pump 1, pump 2, pump 7, and pump 8 are open, and valve 4, valve 5, valve 6, valve 7, valve 8, valve 9, valve 11, valve 12, valve 16, valve 17, valve 18, pump 3, pump 4, pump 5, and pump 6 are closed; The return water from the primary network passes through pump eight, valve ten, and valve three in sequence to enter the air-cooled condenser to absorb heat and heat up, then passes through pump two and valve one to enter the flue gas waste heat exchanger to further absorb heat and heat up, then flows through valve two, valve fifteen, and valve thirteen to enter the extraction steam heat exchanger to further absorb heat and heat up, then flows through valve fourteen and pump seven as the primary network supply water to provide heating for users, forming a cycle.
[0019] Furthermore, in the heating season, when only the thermal power unit is operating to extract steam and supply waste heat for heating and the thermal power unit generates excess electricity, valve six, valve nine, valve eleven, valve seventeen, the compression heat pump, pump four, and pump five are opened, and the compression heat pump converts the excess electricity into heat; After the low-temperature heat source water in the buried pipe absorbs geothermal energy, it passes through valve six and pump four and enters the compression heat pump. After releasing heat as a low-temperature heat source, it flows back to the buried pipe through valve nine, forming a cycle. After the primary network return water passes through pump 8, a part of it is diverted and enters the compression heat pump through valve 11 to absorb heat and heat up, and then passes through pump 5 and valve 17 to merge with the hot water heated by waste heat, enters the extraction steam heat exchanger for further heating, and then serves as the primary network supply water to provide heating for users, forming a cycle.
[0020] Furthermore, in the heating season, the operation mode is such that only the thermal power unit is operated to extract steam and provide waste heat for heating, and the hot water storage tank is used as a regulating heat source. The operation mode is as follows: When the hot water supply of the heating system is insufficient to meet the heating demand, valve seven and pump three are opened to use the hot water stored in the hot water storage tank for heating. The hot water in the high-temperature layer of the hot water storage tank passes through pump three and is heated by waste heat to merge with the hot water, thereby increasing the hot water supply; When the hot water supply of the heating system exceeds the heating demand, the excess hot water can be stored in the hot water storage tank by opening valves four and seven, thereby reducing the amount of hot water supplied.
[0021] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are: Full-time waste heat utilization: Through cross-seasonal soil heat storage and hot water storage tanks, waste heat from the non-heating season is stored for use in winter, thereby improving the waste heat utilization rate throughout the year.
[0022] Deep peak-shaving capability: Compression heat pumps can absorb excess electricity and convert it into thermal energy, which increases the peak-shaving depth of the unit and helps stabilize the power grid.
[0023] Flexibility of multi-energy cogeneration: It supports the coordinated output of heat and electricity. In the face of large fluctuations in heat load, the system has flexible and efficient peak regulation and fast response speed. It can adjust the operating status in time to ensure stable heat supply.
[0024] More efficient energy utilization: Breaking through the limitations of traditional single waste heat recovery, comprehensively recovering multiple types of waste heat, realizing cross-seasonal heat storage and multi-energy complementarity, and significantly improving the comprehensive energy utilization rate.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense.

[0031] The heat storage subsystem includes a hot water storage tank 14, a valve four 15, a pump three 16, a valve five 17, a valve six 18, a pump four 19, a buried pipe 20 and a valve seven 21, which are used to store waste heat from the power plant and improve the energy efficiency of the unit; during the heating season, the hot water storage tank can be used directly for heating, and the buried pipe can be used as a low-temperature heat source for the heat pump.
[0032] The heat pump subsystem includes valve eight 22, valve nine 23, compression heat pump 24, pump five 25, valve ten 26 and valve eleven 27.

The connection relationship between the various components in the system is shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 shown.
[0034] The specific connection relationship is as follows: Cooling and heat exchange subsystem: The flue gas outlet of the gas turbine 1 is connected to the boiler 3.

After releasing heat in the boiler, it enters the flue gas waste heat exchanger for further heat release and cooling. After being heated into high-temperature and high-pressure steam in the boiler, water enters the steam turbine. Before entering the steam turbine, a portion of the steam can be extracted through pump six 29 for heating; the low-pressure steam at the outlet of the steam turbine that has completed work is then passed through pump one 6 and enters the air cooling island for cooling.
[0035] Thermal storage subsystem: The high-temperature layer of the hot water thermal storage tank 14 is connected to valve 4 15 and pump 3 16 respectively. Valve 4 15 is also connected to valve 2 11. Pump 3 16 is connected to valve 6 18 and pump 4 19 respectively through valve 5 17. Valve 6 18 is connected to one end of the buried pipe 20. The low-temperature layer of the hot water thermal storage tank 14 is connected to valve 7 21. The heat pump subsystem includes: valve eight 22, valve nine 23, compression heat pump 24, pump five 25, valve ten 26 and valve eleven 27; The other end of the buried pipe 20 is connected to the valve 7 21 through the valve 8 22 and the valve 10 26 and is connected to the first outlet of the compression heat pump 24 through the valve 9 23.

[0036] Example 2, based on the same inventive concept as Example 1, introduces an operating method for a heating system suitable for storing and utilizing waste heat from air-cooled thermal power units across seasons and for deep peak regulation, including: During the non-heating season, thermal power units operate under thermal storage conditions, with the cooling and heat exchange subsystem serving as the heat source, utilizing the condensing heat of exhaust steam from the turbine outlet and the residual heat from the boiler flue gas to supply heat to the thermal storage subsystem. The system operates as follows: Valve 1 (5), flow control valve 1 (7), flow control valve 2 (8), valve 2 (11), valve 3 (13), valve 5 (17), valve 6 (18), valve 8 (22), pump 1 (6), and pump 2 (12) are open; valve 4 (15), valve 7 (21), valve 9 (23), valve 10 (26), valve 11 (27), valve 12 (28), valve 13 (31), valve 14 (32), valve 15 (33), valve 16 (34), valve 17 (36), valve 18 (37), compression heat pump 24, pump 3 (16), pump 4 (19), pump 5 (25), pump 6 (29), pump 7 (35), and pump 8 (38) are closed. The cooling and heat exchange subsystem and underground pipes 20 form a heat storage cycle system, recovering the condensation heat of the exhaust steam at the turbine outlet and the waste heat from the boiler flue gas. The heat pump subsystem and the heat supply subsystem are shut down. Driven by pump 1 (6), the steam at the turbine outlet is split into two paths, passing through flow control valve 1 (7) and flow control valve 2 (8), respectively, to enter the air-cooling island 9 and air-cooled condenser 10. After releasing heat, it condenses and is discharged. Heat source water flows through valve 3 (13) into the air-cooled condenser 10, absorbing the condensation heat of the steam at the turbine outlet and raising its temperature. It then flows through pump 2 (12) and valve 1 (5) into the flue gas waste heat exchanger 4, further absorbing the waste heat from the boiler flue gas. It then flows through valves 2 (11), 5 (17), and 6 (18) into the underground pipes 20, heating the soil and storing heat. The heat source water cools down after flowing through the underground pipes 20 and then flows back to valve 3 (13), completing a cycle that continuously recovers the condensation heat of the exhaust steam at the turbine outlet and the waste heat from the boiler flue gas.
[0037] Flow control valves 1 and 2 (8) can be used to adjust the exhaust steam flow into the air-cooling island 9 and air-cooled condenser 10, thereby regulating the condensation process and the amount of heat absorbed by the heat source water in the air-cooled condenser 10. When the hot water flow at the outlet of valve 2 (11) is too high, valves 4 (15), 7 (21), and 10 (26) are opened. Hot water from the outlet of valve 2 (11) flows through valve 4 (15) into the high-temperature layer of the hot water thermal storage tank 14 for heat storage. Simultaneously, cold water from the low-temperature layer of the hot water thermal storage tank 14 flows back to valve 3 (13) through valve 7 (21) and valve 10 (26), forming a circulation system. When the hot water flow at the outlet of valve 2 (11) is too low, pump 3 (16), valve 7 (21), and valve 10 (26) are opened. Hot water from the high-temperature layer of the hot water thermal storage tank 14 flows through pump 3 (16), valve 5 (17), and valve 6 (18) into the buried pipe 20 for compensation. Simultaneously, cold water from the outlet of valve 8 (22) flows through valve 10 (26) and valve 7 (21) into the low-temperature layer of the hot water thermal storage tank 14, forming a circulation system. Through the above adjustments, it is possible to ensure that the hot water entering the buried pipe 20 maintains an optimal flow rate, thereby improving the heat storage efficiency.
[0038] During the non-heating season, thermal power units are shut down. The cooling and heat exchange subsystem cannot serve as a heat source, relying instead on heat stored in the hot water thermal storage tank 14 to heat the inter-seasonal thermal soil. The cooling and heat exchange subsystem and the heat network heating subsystem are shut down. The system operates as follows: Valve 5 17, Valve 6 18, Valve 7 21, Valve 8 22, Valve 10 26, and Pump 3 16 are open. Valve 1 5, Flow Control Valve 1 7, Flow Control Valve 2 8, Valve 2 11, Valve 3 13, Valve 4 15, Valve 9 23, Valve 11 27, Valve 12 28, Valve 13 31, Valve 14 32, Valve 15 33, Valve 16 34, Valve 17 36, Valve 18 37, and the compression heat pump 24, Pump 1 6, Pump 2 12, Pump 4 19, Pump 5 25, Pump 6 29, Pump 7 35, and Pump 8 38 are closed. The hot water storage tank 14 and the underground pipe 20 form a heat storage circulation system, utilizing the heat stored in the hot water storage tank 14 during the unit's operation to continuously store heat in the underground pipe 20. Hot water from the high-temperature layer of the hot water storage tank 14 flows through pump 3 16 , valve 5 17 , and valve 6 18 into the underground pipe 20, heating the soil and storing heat. After cooling, it flows back to the low-temperature layer of the hot water storage tank 14 through valve 8 22 , valve 10 26 , and valve 7 21 , completing the circulation process. This ensures continuous heat storage in the underground pipe even when the unit is shut down.
[0039] During the heating season, only the thermal power units operate using steam extraction and waste heat. The cooling and heat exchange subsystem and the heat network heating subsystem serve as heat sources to heat the network return water. The heat pump subsystem and thermal storage subsystem are shut down. The system operates as follows: Valve 1 (5), flow control valve 1 (7), flow control valve 2 (8), valve 2 (11), valve 3 (13), valve 10 (26), valve 13 (31), valve 14 (32), valve 15 (33), pump 1 (6), pump 2 (12), pump 7 (35), and pump 8 (38) are open. Valve 4 (15), valve 5 (17), valve 6 (18), valve 7 (21), valve 8 (22), valve 9 (23), valve 11 (27), valve 12 (28), valve 16 (34), valve 17 (36), valve 18 (37), pump 3 (16), pump 4 (19), pump 5 (25), and pump 6 (29) are closed. The return water from the primary network passes through pump eight 38, valve ten 26, and valve three 13 in sequence to enter the air-cooled condenser 10 to absorb heat and heat up, then passes through pump two 12 and valve one 5 to enter the flue gas waste heat exchanger 4 to further absorb heat and heat up, then flows through valve two 11, valve fifteen 33, and valve thirteen 31 to enter the extraction steam heat exchanger 30 to further absorb heat and heat up, then flows through valve fourteen 32 and pump seven 35 as primary network supply water to provide heating for users, forming a cycle.
[0040] During the heating season, operating solely with the residual heat from the thermal power units, during periods of low electricity consumption, when the thermal power units are generating excess electricity, valves 6 (18), 9 (23), 11 (27), 17 (36), compression heat pump 24, pump 4 (19), and 5 (25) can be opened. Compression heat pump 24 converts excess electricity into heat. After absorbing geothermal heat, low-temperature heat source water in underground pipe 20 passes through valve 6 (18) and pump 4 (19), entering compression heat pump 24. After releasing heat as a low-temperature heat source, it flows back into underground pipe 20 through valve 9 (23), completing the circulation. Primary grid return water passes through pump 8 (38), with a portion diverted through valve 11 (27) to enter compression heat pump 25, where it absorbs heat and rises in temperature. It then passes through pump 5 (25) and valve 17 (36) to merge with hot water heated by the residual heat. It then enters the extraction heat exchanger (30) for further heating before being used as primary grid supply water to provide heating to users, completing the circulation. This method can absorb excess electricity from the units while simultaneously improving the system's heating capacity.
[0041] Based on the above-mentioned operating conditions during the heating season, the hot water storage tank 14 can be used as a regulating heat source. When the hot water supply of the system is insufficient to meet the heating demand, the hot water stored in the hot water storage tank 14 can be used for heating by opening valve seven 21 and pump three 16. The hot water in the high-temperature layer of the hot water storage tank 14 is heated by waste heat after passing through pump three 16, thereby increasing the hot water supply. When the hot water supply exceeds the heating demand, the excess hot water can be stored in the hot water storage tank 14 by opening valve four 15 and valve seven 21, thereby reducing the hot water supply.
