TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of renewable energy utilization, and particularly relates to an organic Rankine cycle power generation system driven by exhaust waste heat of a centrifugal compressor. BACKGROUND
[0002] In modern industrial production, centrifugal compressors, as core power equipment, are widely used in petroleum chemical industry, metallurgy, power and other fields. The high-temperature gas discharged during the operation of the centrifugal compressor usually has a temperature of 150-300 DEG C and carries a large amount of waste heat. If the waste heat is not effectively utilized, not only energy is wasted, but also the environmental thermal load is increased. The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) power generation system becomes a common technical means for recovering the exhaust waste heat of the centrifugal compressor because it can adapt to the characteristics of the medium and low temperature heat source. However, the existing waste heat power generation system has many problems to be solved in actual application. The conventional waste heat collection device usually adopts a fixed structure finned heat exchanger, and the heat transfer efficiency thereof depends on stable working conditions. When the centrifugal compressor load fluctuates, the exhaust flow rate and temperature change, and the fixed fin is difficult to dynamically adjust the heat transfer area and flow field distribution, so that the heat transfer efficiency is significantly reduced. At the same time, during the long-term operation, impurities in the exhaust gas are easily attached to the surface of the fin to form ash and scale, which further increases the heat transfer resistance and reduces the heat transfer performance. In the energy conversion link, the single-stage expander has a fixed expansion ratio range and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the changes of the exhaust temperature and pressure. When the actual working condition deviates from the design parameter, the energy conversion efficiency of the expander is greatly reduced, and it is difficult to realize the efficient utilization of the waste heat. In terms of system integration and control, the compatibility of the existing power generation system with the power grid is poor. The conventional generator has unstable operating efficiency under variable speed conditions, and the efficiency is greatly reduced at low load. In addition, the conventional generator lacks the ability to simulate the inertia of the power grid, and when connected to the microgrid, it is easy to cause frequency oscillation and affect the stability of the power grid. In terms of working medium management, the organic working medium will decompose to produce acidic substances and other impurities during long-term circulation in a high-temperature environment. The conventional purification method not only has low efficiency, but also needs to be regularly shut down for processing, resulting in poor system operation continuity and high maintenance cost. In addition, the conventional PID control strategy cannot meet the control requirements of the organic Rankine cycle system with multiple variables and strong coupling. The response speed to the waste heat transient is slow, the steady-state error is large, and the overall power generation efficiency is difficult to improve. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new centrifugal compressor exhaust waste heat power generation system to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. SUMMARY

[0048] The centrifugal compressor exhaust waste heat driven organic Rankine cycle power generation system of the application adopts integrated design of waste heat collection, energy conversion, power generation control and working medium management. The system mainly comprises a self-adaptive variable structure waste heat collection module, a cascade expansion power generation module, an intelligent coupled power generation and electric energy management module, a multi-parameter collaborative control module and a self-repairing working medium circulation module. Through data interaction and collaborative control, the modules realize efficient recovery and power generation of the centrifugal compressor exhaust waste heat.
[0049] The overall working process of the system is as follows: the high-temperature exhaust gas (150-300℃) discharged by the centrifugal compressor enters the self-adaptive variable structure waste heat collection module, and through the adjustable spiral angle finned tube and the double medium heat exchange circuit, heat is transferred to the organic working medium (such as R245fa) and the phase change energy storage material; the organic working medium is heated and evaporated to enter the cascade expansion power generation module, and the working medium drives the generator to generate power through two-stage expanders; the electric energy is processed through the intelligent coupled power generation and electric energy management module and then connected to the power grid or directly supplied with energy; the multi-parameter collaborative control module monitors the system state in real time, and optimizes the operating parameters based on the model predictive control algorithm; the self-repairing working medium circulation module continuously purifies the working medium to ensure long-term stable operation of the system.
[0050] The self-adaptive variable structure waste heat collection module is composed of an adjustable spiral angle finned tube heat exchanger, a double medium heat exchange circuit, a stepping motor driving mechanism and temperature and pressure sensors. The finned tube is made of stainless steel (such as 316L), with a tube diameter of 25mm, a wall thickness of 2mm, a fin height of 15mm, a fin spacing of 4mm, and a spiral angle θ that can be adjusted within the range of 5°-45°. The double medium heat exchange circuit includes a main circuit (organic working medium R245fa) and a secondary circuit (graphene modified composite salt phase change material with a melting point of 58℃).
[0051] The spiral angle dynamic adjustment formula is: θ=θ0+k·ΔT_exhaust;
[0052] Where θ0 is the initial spiral angle (20°), k is the adjustment coefficient (0.5° / ℃), and ΔT_exhaust is the exhaust temperature fluctuation value. When the exhaust temperature rises from 200℃ to 250℃, the spiral angle is automatically adjusted from 20° to 45°, so that the Re number is maintained in the high-efficiency heat exchange interval of 5000-8000.
[0053] Optimization formula of thermal conductivity of phase change energy storage material: λ_eff = λ_m·(1+3φ(λ_p-λ_m) / (λ_p+2λ_m))
[0054] Wherein, λ_m is the thermal conductivity of the matrix material (0.5 W / (m·K)), λ_p is the thermal conductivity of graphene particles (5000 W / (m·K)), and φ is the volume fraction of particles (5%). It is calculated that the thermal conductivity of the composite salt is improved to 4.2 W / (m·K), and the thermal response speed is increased by 30%.
[0055] Micro-channel enhanced heat transfer formula: Nu = 0.23Re^0.65Pr^0.4(1+h / d)^0.2
[0056] Wherein, h is the groove depth (0.3 mm), and d is the pipe diameter (25 mm). Compared with the light pipe, the micro-channel structure makes the Nu number increase by 25%, and the heat transfer coefficient increases from 800 W / (m 2 ·K) to 1000 W / (m 2 ·K).
[0057] Implementation case and effect verification:
[0058] The module is applied to the exhaust system of a centrifugal compressor in a certain chemical enterprise, and the measured data are shown in the following table:
[0059]
[0060] From the data in the table, it can be seen that the self-adaptive variable structure design of the application significantly improves the waste heat recovery efficiency and system response speed. The adjustable spiral angle enables the fins to maintain the best heat transfer state under different working conditions, and the combination of micro-channels and super-hydrophobic coating suppresses the fouling phenomenon and prolongs the equipment maintenance period. The phase change energy storage material effectively compensates the energy supply when the load fluctuates, so that the system can still operate stably within the range of ±30℃ of the exhaust temperature fluctuation.
[0061] The stepped expansion power generation module is composed of a radial inflow first-stage expander, an axial second-stage expander, a pressure matcher, and a working medium shunt valve. The impeller of the first-stage expander adopts a three-dimensional flow channel design, and the blade outlet angle β is 20°. The second-stage expander is equipped with adjustable guide vanes, and the installation angle α can be adjusted within the range of 25°-65°. The pressure matcher connects the two-stage expanders to realize the optimal control of the intermediate pressure.
[0062] Pressure matching formula: P_int = √(P_high·P_low)
[0063] In some embodiments, the high-pressure side pressure P_high = 2.5 MPa, the low-pressure side pressure P_low = 0.3 MPa, and the intermediate pressure P_int = 0.87 MPa is calculated. In actual operation, the intermediate pressure is accurately controlled in the range of 0.85-0.9 MPa by the pressure matcher to maximize the system efficiency.
[0064] The working medium split ratio formula is: a = (T_exhaust-T_ref) / (T_max-T_ref)
[0065] Wherein, T_exhaust is the exhaust temperature, T_ref is the reference temperature (180℃), and T_max is the design maximum temperature (300℃). When the exhaust temperature is 240℃, a = (240-180) / (300-180) = 0.5, that is, 50% of the working medium enters the primary expander, and 50% enters the secondary expander.
[0066] The secondary expander efficiency formula is: η_pol = η_0·(1-k_α·|α-α_0|)
[0067] Wherein, η_0 is the design efficiency (85%), k_α is the efficiency correction coefficient (0.003 / °), and a_0 is the optimal installation angle (45°). When the guide vane installation angle a = 55°, η_pol = 85% × (1-0.003 × |55-45|) = 82.45%;
[0068] Embodiment and effect verification:
[0069] In a steel enterprise application case, compared with single-stage expansion and the cascade expansion system of the present application, the data are shown in the following table:
[0070]
[0071] The cascade expansion design significantly improves the system efficiency and the adaptation range. The intermediate pressure is optimized by the pressure matcher to reduce the irreversible loss in the expansion process. The adjustable guide vane structure enables the secondary expander to maintain high efficiency under variable working conditions, and the performance improvement under partial load is particularly obvious. The magnetic fluid sealing technology realizes zero leakage, prolongs the service life of the equipment, and reduces the maintenance cost.
[0072] The intelligent coupled power generation and electric energy management module is composed of a magnetic resistance switching type permanent magnet synchronous generator, a virtual synchronous generator control unit, a dynamic reactive power compensation device, and an electric energy quality monitoring unit. The generator stator winding can be switched between star and delta connection, the virtual synchronous generator unit simulates the inertia and damping characteristics of the synchronous generator through software algorithm, and the dynamic reactive power compensation device adopts MMC topology structure;
[0073] The winding impedance matching formula is: Z_Y = 1 / 3Z_Δ
[0074] When the generator is running at low load, switch to star connection (Z_Y), reduce impedance to 1 / 3 of delta connection (Z_Δ), reduce copper loss. Test shows that at 30% load, star connection efficiency is improved by 2.3% compared with delta connection.
[0075] Virtual synchronous generator inertia formula: J_VSG=k_J·W_turbine / ω_grid 2

The online detection unit monitors the working fluid state in real time through a coaxial cylindrical dielectric constant sensor;
[0096] Catalytic efficiency formula: η_cata = 1 - 1 / tanh(mL), where m = √(ka / D_eff), k is the reaction rate constant (0.05 s -1 ), a is the specific surface area (1500 m 2 / m 3 ), D_eff is the effective diffusion coefficient (1 x 10 -5 m 2 / s), L is the bed thickness (0.2 m). Calculation: η_cata = 92.3%.
[0097] Dielectric constant and decomposition product concentration relationship: ε = ε_0·(1 + k_ε·C_decomp), where ε_0 is the dielectric constant of pure working medium (9.8), k_ε is the correlation coefficient (0.05 / %) When ε = 10.2 is detected, C_decomp = (10.2 / 9.8-1) / 0.05 = 8.16%, which exceeds the threshold (5%), triggering the purification process.
[0098] Capacitance calculation formula: C = 2πεL / ln(b / a)
[0099] Sensor inner and outer electrode radius a = 5 mm, b = 10 mm, L = 100 mm, when ε = 9.8, C = 2πx8.85x10-12x9.8x0.1 / ln(2) = 8.5 pF. Actual measurement accuracy is ±0.05 pF, corresponding to concentration detection accuracy ±0.5%;

[0102]
[0103] The self-repairing working medium cycle module effectively prolongs the service life of the working medium and reduces the system maintenance cost. The nano-catalyst bed layer controls the working medium decomposition product concentration within a safe range through high-efficiency catalytic decomposition. The online detection unit monitors the working medium state in real time, realizing intelligent triggering of the purification process. Actual operation shows that the module makes the system maintain high efficiency and stability in long-term operation, greatly reducing the working medium replacement and equipment maintenance frequency.
[0104] System overall performance verification:
[0105] In a comprehensive application case of a certain large petrochemical enterprise, the system of the invention is compared with the traditional waste heat recovery system, and the data of continuous operation for 6 months are shown in the following table:
[0106]
[0107] The system of the present application is significantly superior to the traditional system in terms of waste heat recovery efficiency, power generation efficiency, stability, etc. The combination of the self-adaptive variable structure waste heat collection module and the cascade expansion power generation module realizes the deep recovery and efficient conversion of waste heat. The intelligent coupled power generation and power management module improves the power quality and grid adaptability. The multi-parameter collaborative control module and the self-repairing working fluid circulation module ensure the long-term stable operation of the system. In summary, the system of the present application has significant economic and environmental benefits and can be widely applied in the field of waste heat recovery of centrifugal compressors.
[0108] The bar chart attached to the specification Fig. 2 It can be seen that the bar chart intuitively presents the technical advantages by comparing the energy efficiency of the traditional single-stage system and the cascade system of the present application under different operating loads (50%, 75%, 100%). The energy efficiency of the traditional single-stage system decays significantly at low load and it is difficult to break through the efficiency bottleneck at high load, which is due to its fixed expansion ratio and single energy conversion path. The system of the present application uses two-stage expansion machine series connection and pressure matching technology, which can dynamically adjust the working fluid power process according to the load and maintain high efficiency within the full load range. For example, under the 75% load condition, the efficiency of the traditional system is only 20.5%, while the efficiency of the system of the present application reaches 25.8%, with a significant improvement. The average energy efficiency improvement of 26.8% indicates that the design effectively solves the efficiency loss problem of the traditional system under variable working conditions, especially for the centrifugal compressor exhaust waste heat which has a large fluctuation, providing a more optimal solution for industrial waste heat recovery
[0109] The graph attached to the specification Fig. 3 It can be seen that the graph compares the performance of traditional PID control and model predictive control (MPC) of the present application in system optimization. Due to the dependence on fixed parameter adjustment, the PID control cannot reach the ideal objective function value even after 50 iterations in the face of the multivariable strongly coupled organic Rankine cycle system, with large steady-state error and response lag. The MPC algorithm can predict the future behavior of the system and the objective function value is lower than the final value of the PID control at 10 iterations, and it converges to the optimal value at 30 iterations, which is 61% faster than the PID control. Combined with parameter optimization based on entropy production analysis, MPC can identify inefficient links in the system in real time, such as quickly adjusting the working fluid flow and expansion ratio during waste heat transients, reducing irreversible losses. This intelligent control strategy enables the system to quickly respond and maintain high efficiency in the face of complex working conditions, significantly improving overall energy efficiency and stability.
