[0124] Next, the molten salt configuration of a certain molten salt cascade utilization hydrogen production and poly-generation system based on wind-solar-photothermal complementation is optimized by the existing method and the scheme described in the present disclosure, to further illustrate the technical effects of the present scheme.

[0125] A certain 100MW load photothermal driven molten salt heat supply thermochemical water decomposition hydrogen production system selects NaCl-MgCl2(58-42%, mol) as a single molten salt, and the corresponding cascade molten salt heat storage module construction investment cost (including molten salt procurement cost and storage tank equipment investment cost) is 15.35M$;

[0126] The molten salt configuration is optimized by using the multi-molten salt cascade configuration method of the poly-generation hydrogen production system based on wind-solar-photothermal complementation described in the present disclosure, and the data obtained are as follows:

[0127] In step S100, the user side heat demand and heat sink temperature are obtained, and the parameters are shown in Table 2. Based on this, the load and temperature matching rules of multi-product (high temperature / medium temperature / low temperature) molten salt and user side heat sink are determined, which can be represented as:

[0128]

[0130]

[0131] In step S200, the total heat of the multi-grade molten salt is 100 MW, and based on the energy consumption side heat and the user side heat sink, the load and temperature level matching rules of the multi-grade (high temperature / medium temperature / low temperature) molten salt are used to construct a corresponding molten salt procurement cost model, and then a molten salt storage tank equipment investment cost (cost) model is constructed;

[0132] In step S300, the multi-grade molten salt ratio scheme for minimizing the total cost of molten salt procurement and storage tank equipment investment is shown in Table 3. The corresponding minimum gradient molten salt heat storage module construction investment cost is 14.38M$, which is 6.32% lower than before optimization

[0135] Therefore, by using the scheme of the present disclosure to optimize the molten salt configuration, the gradient molten salt heat storage module construction investment cost can be minimized by 6.32%, and the system NaCl-MgCl2(58-42%, mol) molten salt ratio is 100% before optimization, and the NaCl-MgCl2(58-42%, mol) and NaNO3-KNO3(64-36%, mol) molten salts are 64% and 36%, respectively, after optimization.

[0136] The application is a complementary integrated system of wind-solar power generation and photo-thermal heating. The wind-solar power generation unit and the photo-thermal heating unit are jointly connected to the system to form an energy input module. Clean electricity is provided by wind-solar power generation to reduce carbon emissions. The photo-thermal power station serves as a stable heat source, which can smooth out wind-solar fluctuations and ensure continuous operation of the system. The system realizes dual-channel energy supply of "electricity + heat" to improve system flexibility and stability. It makes up for the defects of single wind-solar power supply, such as high energy storage demand and high cost, enhances economic efficiency, and realizes hierarchical molten salt storage. The hierarchical molten salt storage module adopts multi-grade molten salt storage tanks to realize hierarchical storage and on-demand supply of molten salt at different temperature levels. It meets the demand of SOEC water electrolysis, ammonia / alcohol synthesis and other processes for heat at different temperature levels. It avoids the degradation of high-grade heat energy and improves energy utilization efficiency. It has strong heat storage capacity and can adapt to load fluctuations caused by intermittent wind and solar energy. It supports energy storage peak shaving of photo-thermal power stations, extends the use time of heat energy, and improves the energy utilization rate of the system. The heat and power cycle generation unit driven by molten salt uses high-temperature molten salt to drive a steam turbine to generate electricity, forming a heat and power cycle subsystem. The stored heat energy is converted into electrical energy to participate in system power regulation. It supplements power supply when wind and solar energy is insufficient, improves system power supply reliability, realizes hierarchical recycling of heat energy, and improves overall energy conversion efficiency. It cooperates with the electricity storage module to optimize the system energy scheduling strategy. The SOEC water electrolysis unit is powered by high-temperature molten salt and uses a solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) to maintain the reaction temperature with high-temperature molten salt as the heat source. SOEC can operate at high temperatures, significantly improving electrolysis efficiency. The heat energy comes from the molten salt storage system, eliminating the need for additional heating devices and reducing costs. It improves the efficiency of green hydrogen production and promotes the development of the hydrogen energy industry. Combined with wind-solar power generation, it realizes zero-carbon hydrogen production. The heat and power synthesis ammonia / alcohol unit flexibly accepts multi-temperature molten salt power supply. According to the requirements of the synthesis process, it selectively receives high-temperature, medium-temperature or low-temperature molten salt power supply. It adapts to the heat demand of various chemical processes, improves system applicability, realizes precise matching of heat energy, avoids energy waste, improves the utilization rate of the molten salt system and the overall revenue of the system, and promotes the downstream application of green hydrogen, such as green ammonia, methanol and other chemical production. The electricity storage module participates in power peak shaving and buffering. The electricity storage module (such as lithium batteries, super capacitors, etc.) is connected to wind-solar power generation and heat and power cycle generation. It smooths out wind-solar power fluctuations and relieves the pressure on the power grid. It discharges to support critical load operation when there is a power shortage. It improves the system's independent operation capability and power supply reliability. It realizes a multi-level power dispatching strategy of "wind-solar priority, heat and power supplement, and electricity storage peak shaving". The multi-molten salt hierarchical configuration optimization method constructs a molten salt procurement cost model and a storage tank equipment investment cost model to determine the optimal molten salt ratio through optimization algorithms. It realizes precise matching of molten salt types, quantities and user demand, reduces the total cost of molten salt procurement and storage tank construction, improves heat energy utilization efficiency, and reduces redundant design. It provides a scientific configuration basis for large-scale photo-thermal storage systems.Based on the temperature level matching of molten salt supply and demand relationship modeling, the required flow and temperature difference of each level of molten salt are accurately calculated to ensure that the heat load meets the requirements; avoid the decline of heat transfer efficiency of heat exchanger or excessive heat loss; support the optimization of multi-molten salt cascade configuration, improve the controllability and safety of the system; provide mathematical basis for dynamic regulation of molten salt system. The total heat supply of molten salt and the modeling of storage tank capacity, the energy supply capacity of molten salt thermal storage system is quantified; support system capacity planning and economic evaluation; provide data support for molten salt tank selection and layout; realize the closed-loop optimization of system design and operation stage. The optimization strategy with the minimum total cost as the target optimizes the total cost of molten salt procurement and storage tank equipment investment as the objective function. Considering the initial investment and operating cost, the economic efficiency of the system is improved; provide theoretical support for project feasibility study and investment decision; realize the dual goals of "technically feasible + economically optimal"; suitable for the design and promotion of various types of solar thermal storage systems.
