Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optimization technology for new energy and chemical engineering coupled systems, specifically a capacity optimization configuration method for a green electricity-driven green ammonia-caustic soda-polyvinyl chloride co-production system. Background Technology

[0002] Green ammonia, caustic soda, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are core basic products in the chemical industry. Traditional production methods heavily rely on fossil fuels (such as coal / natural gas ammonia production and coal-fired power generation driving chlor-alkali electrolysis). This not only results in high energy consumption but also significant carbon dioxide emissions, creating a prominent contradiction with the requirements of low-carbon development. Meanwhile, although the installed capacity of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power has grown rapidly in recent years, the fluctuating and intermittent nature of power output makes it difficult to absorb a high proportion of green electricity. The problem of wind and solar curtailment has not been fully resolved, leading to a waste of green electricity resources and hindering the large-scale application of renewable energy in the chemical industry.

[0003] Currently, research on the coupling of green electricity and chemical product production is gradually underway, but existing technologies have obvious limitations: On the one hand, most coupled systems focus on the production of a single product (such as green electricity to ammonia or green electricity to caustic soda), failing to achieve resource synergy for the joint production of multiple products. For example, hydrogen produced as a byproduct of sodium chloride electrolysis is often directly emitted, and oxygen produced by the air separation unit is not fully utilized, resulting in material waste and low system efficiency. On the other hand, system capacity configuration often focuses on the scale optimization of a single device (such as an electrolyzer), neglecting the matching between renewable energy power generation, energy storage, and various chemical units. This can easily lead to low green electricity consumption rates or large fluctuations in production load, making it difficult to balance economic efficiency and low carbon emissions.

[0004] In addition, the existing optimization models for multi-generation systems often simplify the constraints and do not fully consider the resource utilization of solid waste such as industrial waste salt. The traditional chlor-alkali industry relies on purchasing refined sodium chloride, and the stockpiling of industrial waste salt can easily cause environmental problems. If the waste salt treatment can be coupled with the electrolysis unit, the dual benefits of "solid waste reduction" and "raw material self-sufficiency" can be achieved. However, the existing technology has not yet formed a mature integrated solution.

[0005] In summary, how to construct a green electricity-driven multi-product co-production system, and through scientific capacity optimization, achieve a high proportion of green electricity consumption, multi-material synergistic utilization, and synergistic improvement in system economy and low carbon emissions, has become a key issue that the chemical industry urgently needs to address in its low-carbon transformation. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a capacity optimization configuration method for a green electricity-driven green ammonia-caustic soda-polyvinyl chloride co-production system, in order to solve the problem of synergistic optimization of the economy and low carbon emissions of a high proportion of green electricity consumption and a multi-product co-production system.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution is as follows:

[0010] The renewable energy power generation unit comprises photovoltaic and wind power generation, coupled with energy storage, to provide green electricity. The air separation unit uses green electricity to drive air pressure swing adsorption separation to obtain oxygen and nitrogen, which provide raw materials for ethylene oxychlorination and green ammonia synthesis, respectively. The green ammonia synthesis unit uses the Haber-Bosch process to synthesize green ammonia from hydrogen produced by sodium chloride electrolysis and nitrogen produced by the air separation unit. The waste salt treatment unit processes industrial waste salt to obtain sodium chloride, which supplies feedstock to the sodium chloride electrolysis unit. The sodium chloride electrolysis unit uses ion-exchange membrane electrolysis technology, utilizing green electricity to electrolyze sodium chloride to generate caustic soda, chlorine, and hydrogen. The chlorine is transported to the ethylene oxychlorination unit, and part of the hydrogen is transported to the green ammonia synthesis unit and part is directly stored. The ethylene oxychlorination unit reacts chlorine, oxygen, and ethylene to produce dichloroethane, which is then cracked to obtain vinyl chloride monomer. The polyvinyl chloride synthesis unit polymerizes the vinyl chloride monomer to produce polyvinyl chloride.

The model takes the minimum overall system cost as the objective function and simultaneously satisfies the constraints of green electricity consumption rate, production technology constraints of each unit, and output constraints of multiple products.

Conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis of the multiple capacity configuration schemes output in Step 1; select the scheme with the highest renewable energy utilization rate, the lowest system comprehensive cost, and that meets all production constraints and product output requirements, and determine it as the optimal capacity configuration scheme corresponding to the minimum objective function. Simultaneously, clarify the rated capacity, annual operating cost, product revenue, and green electricity absorption rate of each unit under this scheme, providing a quantitative basis for system engineering applications.
