Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of curtailment power utilization technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic power plant curtailment power utilization system and method that coordinates power grid and heating network. Background Technology

[0005] In many urban areas, heating networks have been in use for a long time, with outdated equipment and significant heat loss, resulting in heating at the end of the network failing to meet technical specifications. The conventional approach is to add supplementary heating stations in the middle of the network, using gas-fired boilers or electrode boilers, which increases heating costs.

[0006] In summary, a system and method for utilizing curtailed photovoltaic power plants that coordinates power grid and heating network is needed to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a photovoltaic power plant curtailment utilization system and method that coordinates power grid and heating network, aiming to solve the aforementioned problems.

[0008] This application provides a photovoltaic power plant curtailment utilization system that coordinates power grid and heating network for connecting to urban heating network, including a centralized photovoltaic power plant power generation unit and an electric-thermal co-heating unit;

[0009] The centralized photovoltaic power station power generation unit includes photovoltaic modules, inverters, and station transformers, which are used to convert light energy into electrical energy and transmit it to the power grid;

[0010] The electrothermal co-heating unit includes a bidirectional controller, a first electric heater, a second electric heater, a heat storage device, a water supply pump, a return water pump, a first temperature sensing module, and a second temperature sensing module.

[0011] The bidirectional controller is used to control the power distribution of the first electric heater and the second electric heater, as well as the start and stop of the water supply pump and the return water pump, according to the medium temperature of the thermal storage device and the water supply temperature of the urban heating network. The first electric heater is used to convert electrical energy into heat energy and store it in the thermal storage device. The second electric heater is used to directly heat the water supply network of the urban heating network. The thermal storage device is connected to the water supply pump and the water supply network of the urban heating network. The thermal storage device is also connected to the return water pump and the return water network of the urban heating network. The first temperature sensing module is used to monitor the water temperature of the water supply network of the urban heating network, and the second temperature sensing module is used to monitor the water temperature of the return water network of the urban heating network.

[0012] The bidirectional controller is also connected to the first temperature sensing module and the second temperature sensing module via signal connection.

[0013] Furthermore, the heat storage device is a solid heat storage device or a molten salt heat storage device, and the heat storage device includes a high-temperature zone and a medium-low temperature zone.

[0014] Furthermore, the high-temperature zone of the heat storage device is used to perform the first heat replenishment on the water supply of the urban heating network, raising its temperature to a first preset temperature; the medium-low temperature zone of the heat storage device is used to perform the second heat replenishment on the return water of the urban heating network, preheating its temperature to a second preset temperature.

[0015] Furthermore, the first preset temperature is 120℃-130℃, and the second preset temperature is 80℃.

[0016] Furthermore, when the medium temperature of the heat storage device is lower than the preset requirement value, the bidirectional controller controls the first electric heater to directly provide emergency heat replenishment to the pipeline medium flowing through the heat replenishment circuit.

[0017] Furthermore, both the first and second electric heaters are connected to the urban heating network to form an emergency direct compensation circuit.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes a backup heating component, which is used to connect to the heating circuit for auxiliary heating.

[0019] Furthermore, the backup heating assembly includes an air source heat pump and an electrode boiler, wherein the air source heat pump and / or electrode boiler are used to connect to the heating circuit.

[0020] On the other hand, a method for utilizing curtailed photovoltaic power plants through coordinated power grid and heating network is provided, including the following steps:

[0021] The abandoned photovoltaic power and the off-peak electricity from the high-voltage grid side enter the electric-thermal co-heating unit via the station service transformer and the AC side.

[0022] Monitor the power output status of centralized photovoltaic power station units and identify curtailed solar power;

[0023] The start / stop control and power control of the first and second electric heaters are performed by a bidirectional controller.

[0024] During off-peak and abandoned electricity periods, the first electric heater uses off-peak and abandoned electricity to heat the thermal storage equipment, converting electrical energy into thermal energy, which is then stored in the thermal storage equipment.

[0025] The temperature of the urban heating network's supply and return water pipes is monitored by a temperature sensing module, and the data is transmitted to a two-way controller.

[0026] During the heating season, the urban heating network's supply and return water pipes are supplemented with heat through heat storage equipment, and the supply water that does not meet the temperature standard is introduced into the high-temperature area of ​​the heat storage equipment for the first supplementary heating.

[0027] The return water after the user has released heat is introduced into the low-temperature zone of the heat storage equipment for a second heat replenishment.

[0028] The reheated water is then transported to the city's heating network, and the preheated return water is transported back to the heating company.

[0029] Furthermore, when the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device is lower than a first threshold and / or the heat load demand of the urban heating network is higher than a second threshold, the method further includes:

[0030] Start the air source heat pump and / or electrode boiler to provide auxiliary heating for the pipeline medium flowing through the heating circuit.

[0031] Furthermore, when the heat storage equipment cannot meet the heat replenishment demand, the temperature sensing device on the supply and return water pipeline detects that the water temperature is lower than the set value. The second electric heater is started through the bidirectional controller, and the power of the grid side is used to directly heat the water supply network. The power and start / stop of the second electric heater are adjusted according to the supply and return water temperature.

[0032] The substantial effects of this invention:

[0033] 1. In this invention, by constructing a dual-grid (electric and heat) coordinated supplementary heating unit inside a large-scale centralized photovoltaic power station, the power station's dispatched waste electricity is used for heat storage and supplementary heating, thereby improving the utilization rate of photovoltaic power generation, alleviating the pressure on the power grid's peak regulation, and simultaneously supplementing the urban pipeline network, reducing heating costs, and improving the city's resilience in terms of the dual-grid (electric and heat) system.

[0034] 2. In this invention, the abandoned power is directly connected to the electric heater from the DC side, avoiding inverter and transformer losses and improving energy conversion efficiency; and the heat storage equipment is used to perform staged heat supplementation for the supply water and return water, increasing the supply water temperature while preheating the return water, thus reducing the energy consumption of heating companies.

[0035] 3. In this invention, the thermal storage status and heating network demand are monitored in real time by a bidirectional controller, realizing the dynamic allocation and optimized scheduling of electrical and thermal energy; it has emergency direct compensation and backup heat compensation mechanisms, which can respond quickly when thermal storage is insufficient or the heat load increases suddenly, ensuring stable heating supply, effectively utilizing clean energy, reducing fossil energy consumption, and meeting the needs of low-carbon city development.

The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a photovoltaic power station curtailment utilization system that coordinates power grid and heating network is used to connect to urban heating network 300. It includes a centralized photovoltaic power station power generation unit 100 and an electric-thermal co-heating supplementary heating unit 200. The electric-thermal co-heating supplementary heating unit 200 is used for grid-heat network co-heating supplementary heating.

[0044] The centralized photovoltaic power station power generation unit 100 includes photovoltaic modules 101, inverters 102 and station transformers 103. The photovoltaic modules 101 convert light energy into direct current. Part of the direct current is converted into alternating current that meets the grid requirements by the inverters 102 and the station transformers 103 and then connected to the grid. The other part of the "wasted power" that cannot be connected to the grid is guided to the electric and thermal co-heating unit 200.

[0045] The electrothermal synergistic heating unit 200 includes:

[0046] The bidirectional controller 201, which adopts a PLC or industrial computer and has built-in control logic, is used to control the power distribution of the first electric heater 202 and the second electric heater 203, as well as the start and stop of the water supply pump 205 and the return water pump 206, according to the medium temperature of the heat storage device 204 and the water supply temperature of the urban heating network 300.

[0047] The first electric heater 202 is used to convert electrical energy into heat energy and store it in the heat storage device 204;

[0048] The second electric heater 203 is used to directly heat the water supply network of the urban heating network 300;

[0049] The heat storage device 204 is connected to the water supply pump 205 and the water supply network of the urban heating network 300. The heat storage device 204 is also connected to the return water pump 206 and the return water network of the urban heating network 300. In this embodiment, a solid heat storage device filled with magnesium bricks is used. The heating element of the electric heater 201 is embedded in the heat storage body to convert electrical energy into heat energy and store it.

[0050] Both the water supply pump 205 and the return water pump 206 are variable frequency pumps, controlled by the bidirectional controller 201;

[0051] The first temperature sensing module 207 is used to monitor the water temperature of the urban heating network 300.

[0052] The second temperature sensing module 208 is used to monitor the return water temperature of the urban heating network 300;

[0053] The bidirectional controller 201 is also connected to the first temperature sensing module 207 and the second temperature sensing module 208 via signals;

[0054] The heat output terminal of the first electric heater 202 is connected to the heat storage device 204 to convert electrical energy into heat energy and store it in the heat storage device 204;

[0055] The heat storage device 204 is connected to the water supply pipe of the urban heating network 300 via a pipeline and a water supply pump 205. The heat storage device 204 is also connected to the return water pipe of the urban heating network 300 via a pipeline and a return water pump 206, together forming a heat replenishment circuit.

[0056] The bidirectional controller 201 monitors the power grid dispatch instructions (to determine whether power curtailment has occurred) and the water supply temperature sensor signals of the urban heating network 300 in real time. When power curtailment occurs and the heating network water supply temperature is lower than the set value, the controller performs the following operations:

[0057] Close the DC side switch to guide the abandoned power to the first electric heater 202 and start heating and storing energy in the thermal storage device 204;

[0058] Start the water supply pump 205 and the return water pump 206 to introduce a portion of the water supply with a lower temperature in the urban heating network into the heat storage device 204 for heating;

[0059] Based on the temperature sensor readings inside the heat storage device 204, the power of the first electric heater 202 is dynamically adjusted to prioritize heat storage.

[0060] The heated water is pumped back into the water supply pipes of the city's heating network 300 to achieve supplemental heating.

[0061] This embodiment realizes the direct and efficient conversion of abandoned photovoltaic power into thermal energy, which is then stably replenished to the urban heating network through a thermal storage device, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0062] Example 2:

[0063] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except that it provides a system with graded heat storage and heat replenishment. Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment optimizes the heat storage device 204 and the heat replenishment strategy to achieve tiered utilization of energy.

[0064] In this embodiment, the heat storage device 204 is a vertical molten salt heat storage device. Utilizing the temperature stratification characteristics of molten salt at different heights, a high-temperature region 204a (located in the upper part of the device, with temperatures reaching over 400°C) and a medium-low temperature region 204b (located in the lower middle part of the device, with temperatures approximately 150-250°C) are naturally formed. The device contains two independent sets of heat exchanger piping: one set located in the high-temperature region and the other in the medium-low temperature region.

[0065] The bidirectional controller 201 employs a more refined control strategy:

[0066] First supplementary heating (main water supply heating): The controller first pumps the lower-temperature water supply (e.g., 50°C) from the city heating network 300 into the heat exchanger pipeline located in the high-temperature zone 204a, and uses high-temperature molten salt to heat it to the first preset temperature (e.g., 120°C-130°C). This is high-temperature supplementary heating.

[0067] Secondary heat replenishment (return water preheating): The return water with a lower temperature (e.g., 40°C) that has been returned after heat exchange by the user is pumped into the heat exchanger pipeline located in the medium and low temperature zone 204b, and the residual heat of the medium and low temperature molten salt is used to preheat it to the second preset temperature (e.g., 80°C). This is low temperature preheating.

[0068] The high-temperature water, after its first reheating, is transported back to the main line of the city's heating network 300, directly raising the water temperature. The return water, after its second preheating, is then transported back to the heating company. This means that the heating company only needs to consume less fuel to reheat the water to the supply temperature, significantly reducing the heating company's energy consumption.

[0069] This embodiment greatly improves the overall efficiency of the entire thermal system through graded heat storage and heat replenishment, realizing the graded and tiered utilization of abandoned thermal energy.

[0070] Example 3: A system with emergency and backup heating capabilities

[0071] Reference Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment adds an emergency direct compensation circuit and a backup heat source based on embodiment 1 or 2, which greatly enhances the system's reliability and ability to respond to emergencies.

[0072] In this embodiment, a backup heat replenishment component 400 is added to the system. This component includes an air source heat pump 401 and an electrode boiler 402. The two can be switched to the original heat replenishment circuit via a valve group. At the same time, the first electric heater 202 and the second electric heater 203 can be directly connected to the urban heating network 300 via a three-way valve and a bypass pipeline to form an emergency direct replenishment circuit.

[0073] In addition to performing conventional control, the bidirectional controller 201 also monitors the total heat storage capacity (SOC) of the thermal storage device 204 and the instantaneous heat load demand of the urban heating network 300 in real time.

[0074] Emergency direct subsidy mode: When the urban heating network load increases sharply, requiring immediate heat replenishment, but the medium temperature of the heat storage device 204 is low (such as when it is first started) and cannot immediately provide sufficient heat, the controller can switch valves to activate the emergency direct subsidy circuit. At this time, the photovoltaic curtailment directly drives the first electric heater 202 and the second electric heater 203 to instantly heat the pipeline medium flowing through its internal pipes, bypassing the heat storage device and achieving rapid response.

[0075] Backup heating mode: When the amount of abandoned photovoltaic power is insufficient, causing the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device 204 to fall below the first threshold (e.g., 30%), and the predicted heat load is higher than the second threshold, the controller will activate the backup heating component 400.

[0076] At night or during periods of higher temperature, the air source heat pump 401, which has a higher coefficient of performance (COP), is prioritized for supplemental heating to save energy.

[0077] In extreme cases where a large amount of heat energy is urgently needed, the electrode boiler 402, which has a fast heating speed and high power, is started to provide peak heat supplementation.

[0078] This embodiment, through multiple safeguard mechanisms, ensures that the system can provide stable and reliable heat replenishment at critical moments when the urban heating network needs heat the most, significantly improving the safety and stability of the entire heating system.

[0079] Example 4:

[0080] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except that it provides a method for utilizing curtailed photovoltaic power plants in coordination with the power grid and heating network, including the following steps:

[0081] The photovoltaic curtailment and off-peak electricity from the high-voltage grid side enter the electric-thermal co-heating unit 200 via the AC side through the station service transformer 103.

[0082] Monitor the power generation output status of the centralized photovoltaic power station's power generation unit 100 and identify curtailed photovoltaic power;

[0083] The first electric heater 202 and the second electric heater 203 are controlled by the bidirectional controller 201 to start / stop and control the power.

[0084] During off-peak and abandoned electricity periods, the first electric heater 202 uses off-peak and abandoned electricity to heat the thermal storage device 204, converting electrical energy into thermal energy and storing it in the thermal storage device 204.

[0085] The temperature of the supply and return water pipe network of the urban heating network 300 is monitored by temperature sensing modules (first temperature sensing module 207 and second temperature sensing module 208), and the data is transmitted to the bidirectional controller 201.

[0086] During the heating season, the water supply and return networks of the urban heating network 300 are supplemented with heat through the heat storage device 204, and the water supply that does not meet the temperature standard is introduced into the high temperature zone 204a of the heat storage device 204 for the first supplementary heating.

[0087] The return water after the user has released heat is introduced into the low-temperature zone 204b of the heat storage device 204 for a second heat replenishment;

[0088] The reheated water is then transported to the city's heating network 300, and the preheated return water is transported back to the heating company.

[0089] When the thermal storage device 204 cannot meet the heat replenishment demand (for example, when the photovoltaic absorption rate is high and there is not enough photovoltaic power to fully heat the thermal storage device), the temperature sensing device on the supply and return water pipeline detects that the water temperature is lower than the set value (supply water is lower than 110℃ and return water is lower than 70℃). The second electric heater 203 is started through the bidirectional controller 201 to directly heat the water supply network using the power grid. The power and start / stop of the second electric heater 203 are adjusted according to the supply and return water temperatures.

[0090] It should be noted that while the preferred embodiments of the present invention are provided in the specification and accompanying drawings, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. These embodiments are not intended to impose additional limitations on the content of the present invention; their purpose is to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of the present invention.
