Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of combined cycle power generation and relates to a gas-steam combined cycle power generation system and method coupled with thermochemical energy storage. Background Technology
[0002] Gas-steam combined cycle power generation systems have become the mainstream technology for modern thermal power generation due to their high efficiency and low emissions. However, with the large-scale grid connection of new energy sources and the increasing demand for grid peak shaving, traditional combined cycle systems still face the following technical bottlenecks: Insufficient peak-shaving capacity: Gas turbines are limited to minimum technical output and need to operate at reduced load during deep peak shaving, resulting in a significant decrease in thermal efficiency and deterioration in economic performance; Although the steam side can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing steam flow, the response speed is slow and it is limited by the waste heat recovery of the waste heat boiler.
[0003] Low overall energy utilization efficiency: After high-pressure natural gas is transported to the power plant, it needs to be depressurized at a pressure reducing station, resulting in a large amount of pressure energy being wasted; at the same time, the solar energy resources around the plant area are not fully integrated, and the energy conversion efficiency of conventional photovoltaic or solar thermal systems is limited.
[0004] Poor adaptability of energy storage technologies: Existing technologies such as molten salt thermal energy storage suffer from problems such as high-temperature corrosion and large heat loss, and are difficult to couple efficiently with steam systems. The application of chemical energy storage in combined cycle systems is mostly concentrated in the field of fuel reforming, and there is a lack of rapid response energy storage solutions for steam-side thermodynamic cycles.
[0005] Lack of system synergy optimization: Subsystems such as solar preheating, waste heat recovery, and energy storage and release operate independently, leading to improper matching of heat energy quality. For example, compressed air preheating and boiler feedwater heating require different temperature ranges, but traditional designs have not achieved cascaded utilization.
[0006] In recent years, although some research has attempted to introduce solar-assisted or compressed air energy storage, three major drawbacks remain: solar energy is utilized only in the form of photovoltaics or solar thermal, and full-spectrum frequency division technology has not been applied to combined cycle systems; energy storage systems mostly use physical thermal storage, resulting in low energy density and limited energy release temperature, making it impossible to directly improve steam parameters; and the natural gas pressure energy recovery device lacks integrated design with the combustion system, and the pressure-reducing power generation link is not included in the overall energy flow optimization. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a novel combined cycle system that deeply integrates thermochemical energy storage, full-spectrum solar energy utilization, and pressure energy recovery, and to overcome the limitations of existing technologies on flexibility, efficiency, and grid support capabilities through multi-energy coupling and dynamic peak-shaving strategies. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a gas-steam combined cycle power generation system and method that couples thermochemical energy storage. This system and method can deeply integrate thermochemical energy storage, full-spectrum utilization of solar energy and pressure energy recovery, and can also achieve multi-energy coupling and dynamic peak shaving.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this invention discloses a gas-steam combined cycle power generation system coupled with thermochemical energy storage, comprising a Ca(OH)2 / CaO system thermochemical energy storage system, a high-pressure natural gas transmission pipeline, a natural gas differential pressure power generation system, a gas turbine power generation system, a waste heat boiler, a frequency-controlled fluid preheater, a steam turbine power generation system, a feedwater preheater, valves A, B, and C, an air preheater, and valve D; the Ca(OH)2 / CaO system thermochemical energy storage system includes a reactor body and a steam drum; The high-pressure natural gas transmission pipeline is connected to the inlet of the natural gas differential pressure power generation system and the gas turbine power generation system. The outlet of the gas turbine power generation system is connected to the external environment through the heat release side of the waste heat boiler and the heat release side of the frequency-divided fluid preheater. The heat absorption side outlet of the waste heat boiler is divided into two paths after passing through the heat absorption side of the steam turbine power generation system and the feedwater preheater. One path is connected to the pipe-side inlet of the reactor body via valve A, and the other path is connected to the heat absorption side inlet of the waste heat boiler via valve B. The pipe-side outlet of the reactor body is connected to the heat absorption side inlet of the waste heat boiler via valve C. The outlet of the solar full-spectrum utilization system is connected to the inlet of the solar full-spectrum utilization system in sequence via the heat release side of the feedwater preheater, the heat release side of the air preheater, and the heat release side of the frequency-divided fluid preheater. The outlet of the steam drum is connected to the inlet of the steam drum via valve D, the shell side of the reactor shell, and valve E.
[0009] A further improvement of the gas-steam combined cycle power generation system coupled with thermochemical energy storage described in this invention is as follows: Furthermore, the outlet of the solar full-spectrum utilization system is connected to the inlet of the solar full-spectrum utilization system via the heat release side of the water preheater, the heat release side of the air preheater, the frequency-distributed fluid circulation pump, and the heat release side of the frequency-distributed fluid preheater.
[0010] Furthermore, the heat absorption side outlet of the waste heat boiler is divided into two paths after passing through the heat absorption side of the steam turbine power generation system, condenser, feedwater pump, and feedwater preheater.
[0011] Furthermore, a gas turbine power generation system includes a compressor, a combustion chamber, a gas turbine, and a gas turbine generator; The high-pressure natural gas transmission pipeline is connected to the inlet of the combustion chamber via the natural gas differential pressure power generation system. The outlet of the compressor is connected to the inlet of the combustion chamber, and the outlet of the combustion chamber is connected to the inlet of the gas turbine. The outlet of the gas turbine is connected to the external environment via the heat release side of the waste heat boiler and the heat release side of the frequency-diverting fluid preheater.
[0012] Furthermore, the heat absorption side outlet of the air preheater is connected to the inlet of the compressor.
[0013] Furthermore, the steam turbine power generation system includes a steam turbine and a steam turbine generator. The heat absorption side outlet of the waste heat boiler is divided into two paths after passing through the heat absorption side of the steam turbine and the feedwater preheater. The steam turbine is connected to the steam turbine generator.
[0014] Furthermore, the solar full-spectrum utilization system includes Fresnel lenses, vacuum collector tubes, and photovoltaic panels, which are distributed sequentially from top to bottom. The vacuum collector tubes are connected to the heat release side outlet of the frequency-divided fluid preheater and the heat release side inlet of the feedwater preheater.
[0015] Furthermore, in the solar radiation passing through the Fresnel lens, long-wavelength light is absorbed by the frequency-dividing fluid in the vacuum collector tube and converted into heat energy, while the remaining short-wavelength light passes through the frequency-dividing fluid in the vacuum collector tube and irradiates the photovoltaic panel for photoelectric conversion.
[0016] Furthermore, valves A, B, C, D, and E are all electrically operated regulating valves.
[0017] This invention discloses a gas-steam combined cycle power generation method coupled with thermochemical energy storage, comprising the following steps: Let the power generation of the natural gas differential pressure power generation system, the gas turbine power generation system, the steam turbine power generation system, and the solar full-spectrum utilization system be P1, P2, P3, and P4, respectively. Then the maximum power generation of the system is P = P1 + P2 + P3 + P4. When P1+P2+P3 < actual power consumption When P1+P2+P3+P4 is less than or equal to P4, the electricity generated by the natural gas differential pressure power generation system, gas turbine power generation system, steam turbine power generation system, and solar full-spectrum utilization system will all be used for electricity users. When the actual electricity consumption When P1+P2+P3 <=, the electrical energy P4 generated by the solar full-spectrum utilization system is connected to the Ca(OH)2 / CaO thermochemical energy storage system, and valves A, C and D are closed, while valves B and E are opened to convert electrical energy P4 into chemical energy and store it in the Ca(OH)2 / CaO thermochemical energy storage system. When the actual electricity consumption When P2+P3 <=, the electrical energy P1+P4 generated by the natural gas pressure differential power generation system and the solar full-spectrum utilization system is connected to the Ca(OH)2 / CaO system thermochemical energy storage system. Valves A, C and D are closed, and valves B and E are opened to convert the electrical energy P1+P4 into chemical energy and store it in the Ca(OH)2 / CaO system thermochemical energy storage system. When the actual electricity consumption When P2 <=, the electrical energy P1+P3+P4 generated by the natural gas pressure differential power generation system, the steam turbine power generation system, and the solar full-spectrum utilization system is connected to the Ca(OH)2 / CaO thermochemical energy storage system. Valves A, C, and D are closed, and valves B and E are opened to convert the electrical energy P1+P3+P4 into chemical energy and store it in the Ca(OH)2 / CaO thermochemical energy storage system. When the actual electricity consumption When P1+P2+P3+P4 is greater than or equal to P4, valves A, C, and D are opened, while valves B and E are closed. Water vapor from the steam drum is then introduced into the shell side of the reactor body, where it reacts chemically with CaO and releases heat. Feedwater flowing from the feedwater preheater outlet first enters the tube side of the reactor body through valve A to absorb chemical heat, and then enters the waste heat boiler through valve C for heat exchange. This converts the chemical energy stored in the Ca(OH)2 / CaO thermochemical energy storage system into the thermal energy of the water vapor. Simultaneously, the output of the feedwater pump is increased, increasing the steam flow rate and improving the power generation of the steam turbine power generation system.
[0018] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: In practical operation, the gas-steam combined cycle power generation system and method with coupled thermochemical energy storage described in this invention allocates the power generation of the natural gas pressure differential power generation system, the gas turbine power generation system, the steam turbine power generation system, and the solar full-spectrum utilization system according to the actual power consumption, so as to achieve deep integration of thermochemical energy storage, solar full-spectrum utilization, and pressure energy recovery. At the same time, it can realize multi-energy coupling and dynamic peak shaving, which is extremely practical. Attached Figure Description

The outlet of the compressor 3-1 is connected to the inlet of the combustion chamber 3-2. The outlet of the combustion chamber 3-2 is connected to the inlet of the gas turbine 3-3. The outlet of the gas turbine 3-3 is connected to the external environment via the heat release side of the waste heat boiler 4 and the heat release side of the frequency-divided fluid preheater 18.
[0030] The heat absorption side outlet of the waste heat boiler 4 is connected to the inlet of the steam turbine 5-1. The outlet of the steam turbine 5-1 is divided into two paths after passing through the heat absorption side of the condenser 10, the feed water pump 11, and the feed water preheater 12. One path is connected to the pipe side inlet of the reactor body 7-1 via valve A13, and the other path is connected to the heat absorption side inlet of the waste heat boiler 4 via valve B14. The pipe side outlet of the reactor body 7-1 is connected to the heat absorption side inlet of the waste heat boiler 4 via valve C15.
[0031] The heat absorption side outlet of the air preheater 9 is connected to the inlet of the compressor 3-1.
[0032] The outlet of the solar full-spectrum utilization system 6 is connected to the inlet of the solar full-spectrum utilization system 6 in sequence via the heat release side of the water preheater 12, the heat release side of the air preheater 9, the heat release side of the frequency-distributed fluid circulation pump 19 and the heat release side of the frequency-distributed fluid preheater 18.
[0033] The outlet of steam drum 7-2 is connected to the inlet of steam drum 7-2 via valve D16, the shell side of the reactor shell, and valve E17.
[0034] The solar full-spectrum utilization system 6 includes a Fresnel lens 6-1, a vacuum heat collection tube 6-2, and a photovoltaic power generation panel 6-3. The Fresnel lens 6-1, the vacuum heat collection tube 6-2, and the photovoltaic power generation panel 6-3 are distributed from top to bottom. The vacuum heat collection tube 6-2 is connected to the heat release side outlet of the frequency-divided fluid preheater 18 and the heat release side inlet of the feedwater preheater 12.
[0035] The gas-steam combined cycle power generation method coupled with thermochemical energy storage according to the present invention includes the following steps: High-pressure natural gas flowing from high-pressure natural gas pipeline 1 first enters the natural gas differential pressure power generation system 2 to generate electricity. It then enters combustion chamber 3-2 and mixes with air compressed by compressor 3-1 to produce high-temperature, high-pressure gas. This high-temperature, high-pressure gas drives gas turbine 3-3 to perform work and drives gas turbine generator 3-4 to generate electricity. After completing its work, the gas flows out of gas turbine 3-3 and first enters waste heat boiler 4 for heat exchange, heating the feedwater into high-temperature steam. Then, the steam exits from the waste heat boiler 4 through the flue gas outlet. The steam discharged from the chimney enters the frequency-controlled fluid preheater 18 for further heat exchange, transferring as much heat as possible to the frequency-controlled fluid. The high-temperature steam generated in the waste heat boiler 4 drives the steam turbine 5-1 to perform work and powers the steam generator 5-2 to generate electricity. After completing its work, the steam exits the steam turbine 5-1 and enters the condenser 10 for heat exchange, then is pumped back into the waste heat boiler 4 via the feedwater pump 11 for circulation. The water exiting the feedwater pump 11 is preheated by the feedwater preheater 12 before entering the waste heat boiler 4, thereby increasing the boiler's heat transfer efficiency. The boiler feedwater temperature is adjusted to reduce the gas consumption of the waste heat boiler 4; air is preheated by air preheater 9 before entering compressor 3-1, thereby increasing the air temperature and reducing the power consumption of compressor 3-1; in the solar radiation passing through Fresnel lens 6-1, long-wavelength light is absorbed and converted into heat energy by the frequency-dividing fluid in vacuum collector tube 6-2, while the remaining short-wavelength light passes through the frequency-dividing fluid in vacuum collector tube 6-2 and irradiates photovoltaic panel 6-3 for photoelectric conversion, thus realizing a solar-driven cogeneration process. The frequency-divided fluid flowing into the vacuum collector tube 6-2 absorbs heat energy and then flows out of the vacuum collector tube 6-2 outlet. It then passes through the feedwater preheater 12 and the air preheater 9 in sequence to transfer the heat energy to the feedwater and air of the waste heat boiler 4. The low-temperature frequency-divided fluid flowing out of the air preheater 9 will be pumped back into the vacuum collector tube 6-2 through the frequency-divided fluid circulation pump 19 for circulating heat absorption. The frequency-divided fluid is preheated by the frequency-divided fluid preheater 18 before flowing into the vacuum collector tube 6-2 to fully recover the waste heat of the system.
[0036] The electricity generated in the natural gas differential pressure power generation system 2, the gas turbine power generation system 3, the steam turbine power generation system 5, and the solar full-spectrum utilization system 6 will be supplied to electricity users. When the Ca(OH)2 / CaO system thermochemical energy storage system 7 is in the energy storage stage, the reactor body 7-1, as an electricity user, consumes the system's electrical energy. The Ca(OH)2 inside it decomposes to generate CaO and water vapor. The generated water vapor enters the steam drum 7-2 from the shell side of the reactor body 7-1 through valve E17, thereby converting electrical energy into chemical energy stored in Ca(OH)2. In the Ca(OH)2 / CaO thermochemical energy storage system 7, when the Ca(OH)2 / CaO thermochemical energy storage system 7 is in the energy release stage, the water vapor in the steam drum 7-2 enters the shell side of the reactor body 7-1 through valve D16, reacts chemically with CaO and releases heat. At this time, the feedwater flowing out from the outlet of the feedwater preheater 12 does not directly enter the waste heat boiler 4 through valve B14 for heat exchange, but enters the tube side of the reactor body 7-1 through valve A13 to absorb chemical heat, and then enters the waste heat boiler 4 through valve C15 for heat exchange.
[0037] Let the power generation of the natural gas pressure differential power generation system 2, the gas turbine power generation system 3, the steam turbine power generation system 5, and the solar full-spectrum utilization system 6 be P1, P2, P3, and P4, respectively. Then the maximum power generation of the system is P = P1 + P2 + P3 + P4.
[0038] When P1+P2+P3 < actual power consumption When P1+P2+P3+P4 is less than or equal to P4, the electricity generated by the natural gas pressure differential power generation system 2, the gas turbine power generation system 3, the steam turbine power generation system 5, and the solar full-spectrum utilization system 6 will all be used for electricity users.
[0039] When the actual electricity consumption When P1 + P2 + P3 is less than or equal to P3, the electrical energy P4 generated by the full-spectrum solar energy utilization system 6 is connected to the Ca(OH)2 / CaO thermochemical energy storage system 7, and valves A13, C15 and D16 are closed, while valves B14 and E17 are opened, thereby converting the electrical energy P4 into chemical energy and storing it in the Ca(OH)2 / CaO thermochemical energy storage system 7.
[0040] When the actual electricity consumption When P2+P3 <=, the electrical energy P1+P4 generated by the natural gas pressure differential power generation system 2 and the solar full-spectrum utilization system 6 is connected to the Ca(OH)2 / CaO system thermochemical energy storage system 7, and valves A13, C15 and D16 are closed, while valves B14 and E17 are opened, thereby converting the electrical energy P1+P4 into chemical energy and storing it in the Ca(OH)2 / CaO system thermochemical energy storage system 7.
[0041] When the actual electricity consumption When P2 <=, the electrical energy P1+P3+P4 generated by the natural gas pressure differential power generation system 2, the steam turbine power generation system 5, and the solar full-spectrum utilization system 6 is connected to the Ca(OH)2 / CaO system thermochemical energy storage system 7. Valves A13, C15, and D16 are closed, and valves B14 and E17 are opened, thereby converting the electrical energy P1+P3+P4 into chemical energy and storing it in the Ca(OH)2 / CaO system thermochemical energy storage system 7.
[0042] When the actual electricity consumption When P1+P2+P3+P4 is greater than or equal to P4, valves A13, C15, and D16 are opened, while valves B14 and E17 are closed. This allows steam from the steam drum 7-2 to be introduced into the shell side of the reactor body 7-1, where it reacts chemically with CaO and releases heat. Feedwater flowing from the outlet of the feedwater preheater 12 enters the pipe side of the reactor body 7-1 through valve A13 to absorb chemical heat, and then enters the waste heat boiler 4 through valve C15 for heat exchange. This converts the chemical energy stored in the Ca(OH)2 / CaO thermochemical energy storage system 7 into the thermal energy of steam, increasing the steam temperature and thus the power generation efficiency of the steam turbine power generation system 5. Simultaneously, the output of the feedwater pump 11 can be increased to increase the steam flow rate and improve the power generation of the steam turbine power generation system 5.
[0043] In this embodiment, valves A13, B14, C15, D16, and E17 are all electric regulating valves. In actual operation, the valve opening can be adjusted according to the actual situation to match the different power demand of the power plant.
[0044] The high-pressure natural gas in the high-pressure natural gas transmission pipeline 1 does not need to be depressurized at the pressure reducing station before entering the combustion chamber 3-2. Instead, the natural gas pressure is reduced to the pressure required by the natural gas pressure differential power generation system 2, thus avoiding the waste of natural gas pressure energy and improving the power generation and comprehensive utilization efficiency of natural gas energy in the power plant.
[0045] By coupling the full-spectrum solar energy utilization system 6, the solar energy resources around the gas-steam combined cycle power plant can be fully utilized. Not only can the heat energy absorbed by the frequency-divided fluid in the vacuum collector tube 6-2 be transferred to the compressed air and feedwater through the air preheater 9 and feedwater preheater 12, but it can also generate electricity through the photovoltaic power generation panel 6-3, further improving the power generation capacity and efficiency of the power plant.
[0046] By using the high-temperature section of the frequency-divided fluid to heat the feedwater of the waste heat boiler 4 and the low-temperature section to heat the air, the synergistic optimization of the thermal system is achieved, which can maximize the utilization of thermal energy grade.
[0047] After passing through the frequency-distributed fluid circulation pump 19, the low-temperature frequency-distributed fluid first enters the frequency-distributed fluid preheater 18 for preheating, and then flows into the vacuum heat collection tube 6-2 to fully recover the waste heat of the system and improve the energy utilization efficiency of the system.
[0048] The frequency converter of the circulating pump can be used to control the flow rate of the sub-frequency fluid based on the real-time power load and solar radiation intensity, thereby optimizing the dynamic control strategy and achieving precise matching between power load, power generation and sub-frequency fluid flow rate.
[0049] This invention can perform peak shaving through the Ca(OH)2 / CaO system thermochemical energy storage system 7. The operating state (energy storage stage or energy release stage) of the Ca(OH)2 / CaO system thermochemical energy storage system 7 and the opening degree of valves A13, B14, C15, D16 and E17 can be adjusted according to the different power demand of the power plant to match the different power demand of the power plant.
[0050] This invention greatly increases the power plant's ability to quickly adjust load and its economic efficiency in deep peak shaving. It also has the ability to convert surplus electrical energy of the power plant, surrounding solar energy, and some waste heat from the gas turbines into high-grade thermal energy that can be stored for a long time and released quickly, thus significantly improving the overall flexibility, economy, and grid support of the power plant.
[0051] This invention can effectively recover the pressure energy that would otherwise be wasted in natural gas pressure reduction stations and convert it into electrical energy, thereby improving the power generation of power plants and the overall utilization efficiency of natural gas energy.
[0052] This invention utilizes full-spectrum solar energy utilization technology to preheat compressed air and feedwater of waste heat boiler 4, reducing the power consumption of compressor 3-1 by 10-15%, reducing the gas consumption of waste heat boiler 4, providing additional clean electricity, and increasing the comprehensive utilization rate of solar energy by more than 30%.
[0053] This invention uses the high-temperature section of the frequency-divided fluid to heat the feedwater of the waste heat boiler 4, and the low-temperature section to heat the air, thereby achieving synergistic optimization of the thermal system and maximizing the utilization of thermal energy grade.
[0054] In this invention, the low-temperature frequency-divided fluid first enters the frequency-divided fluid preheater 18 for preheating after passing through the frequency-divided fluid circulation pump 19, and then flows into the inlet of the vacuum heat collection tube 6-2 to fully recover the waste heat of the system and improve the energy utilization efficiency of the system.
[0055] This invention uses a circulating pump with variable frequency control to control the flow rate of a frequency-divided fluid based on real-time power load and solar radiation intensity, optimizing the dynamic control strategy to achieve precise matching between power load, power generation, and the flow rate of the frequency-divided fluid.
[0056] Other embodiments of the invention will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and disclosure of the invention.
