TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of Carnot batteries, and relates to a carbon dioxide Carnot battery design method, system, device and storage medium. BACKGROUND
[0002] Compared with existing long-time energy storage technologies, the Carnot battery has advantages such as low technical cost, no geographical condition limitation, high waste heat utilization rate and the like, and is suitable for new energy power consumption, distributed energy system operation and maintenance, data center waste heat utilization and the like. At the same time, since carbon dioxide has characteristics such as non-toxicity, non-flammability, easy acquisition and excellent physical properties (such as a critical temperature close to the ambient temperature to easily reach a supercritical state, a high specific heat capacity near the critical point to have a strong heat carrying capacity), it has gradually become a Carnot battery cycle working medium with great application prospects.
[0003] Although the carbon dioxide Carnot battery has broad prospects, it still faces a series of problems in the actual application process, especially in the selection and design stage of the system configuration. Firstly, the carbon dioxide Carnot battery can adopt various system configurations, such as transcritical cycle, supercritical cycle and various derivative configurations thereof, so as to cover a wide heat storage temperature interval. However, in the prior art, for a specific heat storage temperature requirement, there is a lack of an efficient method capable of quickly screening high-performance configurations.
[0004] Secondly, the prior art lacks a universal configuration screening guide method, resulting in tedious and inefficient screening work. For different heat storage temperature requirements in a wide range, a complete design and calculation process of “modeling one by one, simulating one by one” needs to be repeated for various candidate configurations, resulting in a large amount of work, a long time-consuming and a high requirement for the professional background of the designer.
[0005] Furthermore, the construction of an efficient configuration selection tool still faces the challenge of key parameter selection. Although the theoretical calculation and visualization of the results as a configuration selection atlas is an ideal way to solve the above problems, the high dimension of the coordinate combination due to the large number of system parameters makes it difficult to effectively screen. How to select key parameters that can effectively reveal the performance change trend of the configuration and are convenient for engineering application as atlas coordinates is a technical bottleneck in the construction process of the configuration selection atlas.

[0022] like Figure 1 The image shows a carbon dioxide Carnot battery design method based on thermodynamic parameter spectra, as described in this invention. The core of this method lies in identifying the most crucial parameter (i.e., the temperature of the system's high-temperature heat storage tank) from numerous system parameters through theoretical calculation and analysis. T H,H Compared to system pressure β), and a configuration selection atlas that can intuitively and accurately reflect the electro-thermal efficiency of the carbon dioxide Carnot battery system is constructed with these key parameters as coordinates, thereby simplifying the complex design process into a tool that can be quickly queried. η R The configuration selection atlas is obtained through the following steps.
[0023] The atlas is obtained through the following steps. Step 1: Determine a plurality of carbon dioxide Carnot battery configurations to be selected, and establish a steady-state thermodynamic model thereof.
[0024] The carbon dioxide Carnot battery configurations all refer to system configurations composed of three subsystems of "heat pump-thermal energy storage-heat engine", and specific examples thereof include but are not limited to transcritical carbon dioxide Carnot battery systems based on the Rankine cycle and supercritical carbon dioxide Carnot battery systems based on the Brayton cycle.
[0025] The steady-state thermodynamic model is established by a modular method, and specifically includes a turbomachinery module, a heat exchange module and a thermal storage and cold storage module, each module complying with the law of conservation of mass and energy. Correspondingly, the heat pump and heat engine subsystems contain the turbomachinery module and the heat exchange module, and the thermal energy storage subsystem contains the heat exchange module and the thermal storage and cold storage module.
[0026] The turbomachinery module contains a pump, a compressor and an expander, and each turbomachinery utilizes its inlet working condition, isentropic efficiency and pressure ratio to determine its outlet working condition.
[0027] The heat exchange module contains a heater, a cooler, a regenerator, an evaporator and a condenser, each heat exchange device adopts a one-dimensional model to discretize the heat along the flow direction, controls the minimum temperature difference at each grid node of the heat exchange device to be a set "pinch temperature difference" based on the energy conservation equation, and outputs the heat exchange power and the outlet working condition of the thermal storage and cold storage working fluid that meet the conditions using the inlet working condition and the mass flow rate of the heat exchange working fluid.
[0028] The thermal storage and cold storage module contains a high-temperature thermal storage tank, a low-temperature thermal storage tank, a high-temperature cold storage tank and a low-temperature cold storage tank, and the temperature of each tank is determined by the inlet and outlet working conditions of the thermal storage and cold storage working fluid in the heat exchange module, and the heat loss of the tank is ignored.
[0029] Step 2: Determine the equipment efficiency parameters, system design parameters and system operating parameters.
[0030] The equipment efficiency parameters include the isentropic efficiency of the compressor η C , the isentropic efficiency of the expander η T , the isentropic efficiency of the working fluid pump η P , and the mechanical efficiency of the equipment η m, device motor efficiency η e , and heat exchanger pinch point temperature difference Δ T HE .

[0032] The system operating parameters include high-temperature cold storage tank temperature T H,C , low-temperature heat storage tank temperature T C,H , system minimum pressure p min , and system pressure ratio β .
[0033] Step 3: Change the system operating parameters to perform thermodynamic simulation, and obtain the system electric efficiency of the carbon dioxide Carnot cell under different system operating parameters η R ; Step 4: Take the system high-temperature heat storage tank temperature T H,H as the horizontal coordinate, and the system pressure ratio β as the vertical coordinate, plot the results of step 3 into a graph, and divide the coordinate plane into different temperature domain intervals according to the high-temperature heat storage tank temperature T H,H , so as to directly display the recommended carbon dioxide Carnot cell configuration under different high-temperature heat storage tank temperatures T H,H , for quickly selecting the carbon dioxide Carnot cell configuration in a wide temperature domain range in the graph.
[0034] The graph shows the system electric efficiency of the carbon dioxide Carnot cell under the combination of different high-temperature heat storage tank temperatures T H,H and system pressure ratios β by plotting equivalent efficiency lines in the coordinate plane η R .
[0035] The wide temperature domain range is at least 150-500°C, and the temperature domain intervals are at least three: 1. Low temperature domain: TH,H not more than 200℃; 2. Medium temperature range: T H,H between 200 and 400℃; 3. High temperature range: T H,H not less than 400℃.
[0036] On this basis, for a specific actual scene, the temperature range of the high-temperature heat storage tank is determined T H,H After that, according to the configuration selection atlas of the carbon dioxide Carnot battery, the recommended high-efficiency system configuration category, system efficiency, system pressure ratio and recommended heat storage material operating temperature range can be obtained.

Each heat exchange device uses a one-dimensional model or other heat discrete method, uses its inlet working condition and heat exchange working medium mass flow rate, and outputs heat exchange power and heat storage and cold storage working medium side outlet working conditions that meet the conditions. The calculation formula is as follows: (4) In the formula: q is heat exchange power; m HF is the mass flow rate of the heat storage working medium; m CF is the mass flow rate of the cold storage working medium; and subscript HE represents each heat exchange device.

And according to the high-temperature heat storage tank temperature T H,H The coordinate plane is divided into different temperature domain intervals: if T H,H is not greater than 200℃, it is a low temperature domain, if T H,H is between 200-400℃, it is a medium temperature domain, and if T H,H is not less than 400℃, it is a high temperature domain.
