[0023] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0024] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes an embodiment of the solar and geothermal combined power generation system of the present invention. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the solar and geothermal combined power generation system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a solar energy device, a generator set, and a geothermal energy storage unit.
[0025] The solar energy device includes a collector 1 and a hot water storage tank 11. The outlet of the collector 1 is connected to the inlet of the hot water storage tank 11 via a first pipe 12, and the inlet of the collector 1 is connected to the outlet of the hot water storage tank 11 via a second pipe 13. The heat exchange outlet of the hot water storage tank 11 is connected to the heat exchange inlet of the hot water storage tank 11 via a third pipe 14. The collector 1 absorbs solar energy to heat the working fluid, and then passes the heated working fluid (water) into the hot water storage tank 11 for storage.
[0026] The generator set includes a first turbine 2 and a heater 21. The first turbine 2 drives a generator connected to it to generate electricity. The inlet of the first turbine 2 is connected to a fourth pipe 22, and the heater 21 is located on the fourth pipe 22. The outlet of the first turbine 2 is connected to the inlet of the fourth pipe 22 via a fifth pipe 23 and a sixth pipe 24 connected in parallel. The fifth pipe 23 is connected to a third pipe 14 via a first heat exchanger 25, so that the working fluid in the third pipe 14 can heat the working fluid in the fifth pipe 23. Thus, the heat energy converted from solar energy absorbed by the solar energy device can be used to preheat the working fluid in the fifth pipe 23 through the first heat exchanger 25. The heated working fluid in the fifth pipe 23 can then be fed into the fourth pipe 22, heated by the heater 21, and then fed into the first turbine 2 to generate electricity. For example, the heater 21 burns fuel to heat the water in the fourth pipe 22 to a steam state.
[0027] The geothermal energy storage unit includes a production well 31 and an injection well 32. Geothermal water discharged from the production well 31 is introduced into the injection well 32 via a seventh pipe 33. The seventh pipe 33 is connected to a sixth pipe 24 via a second heat exchanger 34, allowing the geothermal water in the seventh pipe 33 to heat the working fluid in the sixth pipe 24. This allows the geothermal energy stored in the production well 31 to preheat the working fluid in the sixth pipe 24 via the second heat exchanger 34. The heated working fluid in the sixth pipe 24 is then introduced into a fourth pipe 22, heated by a heater 21, and finally fed into a first turbine 2 to generate electricity.
[0028] In some embodiments, both the fifth pipe 23 and the sixth pipe 24 are equipped with flow valves, which can control the flow rate within each pipe. Thus, when the heat generated by either the solar energy device or the geothermal energy storage unit is low, the flow rate of the corresponding pipe in the fifth pipe 23 or the sixth pipe 24 can be reduced, flexibly adjusting the working fluid flowing into the fourth pipe 22. Both the fifth pipe 23 and the sixth pipe 24 are equipped with pump bodies 291 to facilitate the flow of the working fluid.
[0029] The generator set of the solar and geothermal cogeneration power generation system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a fifth pipe 23 and a sixth pipe 24 connected in parallel to the inlet of the first turbine 2. Thus, the heat generated by the solar energy device and the geothermal energy from the geothermal storage unit can be used to heat the working fluid in the fifth pipe 23 and the sixth pipe 24 respectively, so that the working fluid is preheated before entering the heater 21, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the heater 21. Furthermore, the geothermal water in the seventh pipe 33, after heat exchange, can be reintroduced into the injection well 32, thereby reducing the impact on groundwater and the underground environment.
[0030] Therefore, the solar and geothermal combined power generation system according to embodiments of the present invention is easy to generate electricity, has low energy consumption, and has little environmental impact.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the geothermal energy storage unit further includes a separator 35. The inlet of the separator 35 is connected to the outlet of the production well 31, and the separator 35 can separate steam and water. The separator 35 has a geothermal water outlet 351 for discharging geothermal water and a steam outlet 352 for discharging steam. The geothermal water outlet 351 is connected to the inlet of the seventh pipeline 33.
[0032] In some embodiments, the generator set further includes a second turbine 26, which drives a connected generator to generate electricity. The inlet of the second turbine 26 is connected to a steam outlet 352 via an eighth pipe 27, and the outlet of the second turbine 26 is connected to the inlet of the injection well 32 via a ninth pipe 28. A condenser 29 is provided on the ninth pipe 28. Thus, steam discharged from the steam outlet 352 can be fed into the second turbine 26 to generate electricity, and the working fluid discharged from the second turbine 26 can be condensed by the condenser and then fed into the injection well 32.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the geothermal water outlet 351 is connected to the inlet of the injection well 32 via a tenth pipe 36. The tenth pipe 36 is connected to the heating pipe 39 via a third heat exchanger 37, so that the tenth pipe 36 can heat the heating water in the heating pipe 39 through the third heat exchanger 37. Therefore, the geothermal water discharged from the geothermal water outlet 351 can provide heat energy to the heating pipe 39, thereby reducing energy consumption. Furthermore, the geothermal water after heat exchange in the tenth pipe 36 can be reintroduced into the injection well 32.
[0034] In some embodiments, a heat absorption device 38 is provided on the tenth pipe 36 between the geothermal water outlet 351 and the third heat exchanger 37. The heat absorption device 38 is used to absorb heat from the geothermal water in the tenth pipe 36. Specifically, the temperature of the geothermal water in the tenth pipe 36 after the heat absorption device 38 absorbs heat is greater than or equal to 60°C and less than or equal to 65°C. This is so that the geothermal water in the tenth pipe 36 after the heat absorption device 38 absorbs heat can easily provide heat energy for geothermal water systems.
[0035] In some embodiments, the heat-absorbing device 38 is a thermoelectric generator or a fourth heat exchanger. Specifically, the heat-absorbing device 38 is a device that can utilize the geothermal heat energy within the tenth pipe 36. The heat-absorbing device 38 can be a thermoelectric generator that can generate electricity using the geothermal heat energy within the tenth pipe 36. Alternatively, the heat-absorbing device 38 can be a fourth heat exchanger that can utilize the geothermal heat energy within the tenth pipe 36 to provide heat to devices requiring heat, such as geothermal drying rooms.
