TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a molten salt heat storage device suitable for a double-tank molten salt heat storage system and belongs to the technical field of heat storage for photothermal power generation. BACKGROUND
[0002] In a molten salt heat storage system of a photothermal power station, a heat collection system, a heat storage system, a steam heat exchange system and a power generation system are usually included. For a molten salt heat storage system of a photothermal power station using a double-tank system, the operation principle is as follows:
[0003] Salt melting stage: the solid molten salt is converted into liquid by a salt melting device and then is pumped into a low-temperature molten salt tank.
[0004] Heat collection stage: the solar radiation is focused on a heat absorber by a concentrator field, and the molten salt in the heat absorber is heated and the temperature is increased.
[0005] Heat storage stage: the heated molten salt is transported to a high-temperature molten salt tank by a molten salt pump, and the molten salt in the low-temperature molten salt tank is pumped to the heat absorber, forming a cycle.
[0006] Power generation stage: the molten salt in the high-temperature molten salt tank is pumped to a steam heat exchanger, in which the heat energy of the molten salt is transferred to water to generate high-temperature and high-pressure steam. The steam drives a power turbine to rotate, and the turbine drives a generator to generate electric energy. The electric energy generated by the generator is transmitted to a power grid after being stepped up by a substation, and the molten salt is cooled and enters the low-temperature molten salt tank.
[0007] The molten salt storage tank is one of the key components of the molten salt heat storage system, and the durability of the storage tank directly affects the safety and economy of the entire molten salt energy storage system. For a large photothermal power station, the diameter of the salt storage tank is usually 30-50 m, the height is several dozen meters, and the single-tank storage capacity is tens of thousands of tons. Taking the 100 MW tower-type photothermal power station built in Dunhuang as an example, the hot tank has a diameter of 39 m, the cold tank has a diameter of 37.4 m, and the height of both is 15 m. The single-tank molten salt storage capacity is as high as 15,000 tons, the working temperature of the molten salt is 520 DEG C, and the single-tank molten salt storage design temperature reaches 600 DEG C. The temperature of the molten salt initially filled in the molten salt storage tank is generally 300-350 DEG C, and the tank wall and bottom plate of the storage tank in the normal temperature state will bear a huge thermal shock load. Therefore, the high-temperature molten salt storage tank has the characteristics of large structure size, high operating temperature and long-term bearing of cyclic load (liquid static pressure, temperature load), and the stress corrosion caused by the severe temperature difference change during use easily leads to the rupture of the weld of the storage tank. In addition, the strong corrosive effect of the chloride ions, sulfate ions, nitrate ions and carbonate ions in the molten salt on the storage tank also seriously affects the production safety and operating life of the large molten salt storage tank. Due to the large size of the storage tank, there is a temperature difference between different parts of the storage tank during preheating and operation, and the large temperature difference stress between the components of the storage tank body also aggravates the risk of leakage of the molten salt storage tank, and once the leakage occurs, it will cause serious harm to the safety of the power station and the surrounding environment.
[0008] Traditional molten salt storage tank usually adopts single wall, and the high-temperature tank wall and tank top material is generally P347H, TP316L steel, and the low-temperature molten salt storage tank wall and tank top material is generally Q345R. The tank wall outside and the tank top inside are covered with relatively thick alumina-silicate fiber felt and other thermal insulation materials. The thermal insulation material is usually thick, needs additional support and fixation, and is exposed for a long time, so the service life is not long in actual engineering, and needs regular maintenance and replacement.
[0009] Therefore, there is a need for a molten salt storage tank which is safe, has good thermal insulation effect, is convenient to construct, and can monitor the deformation and cracking of the tank wall and bottom plate in time. SUMMARY
