Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energy storage device technology, and relates to a high- and low-parameter molten salt cascade energy storage system for peak shaving of thermal power plants, as well as a heat storage and release method for the high- and low-parameter molten salt cascade energy storage system for peak shaving of thermal power plants. Background Technology
[0002] In 2023, global installed capacity of sustainable energy increased by 50% year-on-year, reaching 510 gigawatts. It is projected that by 2027, renewable energy will account for over 90% of global new power generation capacity. However, clean energy is intermittent and volatile, leading to continuous fluctuations in grid load and frequency, threatening the reliable operation of the grid. Therefore, there is an urgent need for more effective peak-shaving measures to balance electricity supply and demand and ensure grid stability and security.
[0003] Grid peak shaving mainly relies on two methods: First, building pumped storage and compressed air energy storage power stations, which, while capable of peak shifting and valley filling, are costly and have limited capacity, making it difficult to cope with the peak shaving pressure after a large amount of clean energy is connected to the grid. Second, utilizing coal-fired power plants for peak shaving, which have large installed capacity and can output a large amount of peak-shaving power, and adjusting the power generation can meet certain peak-shaving needs. However, due to limitations in equipment materials and operational safety, the power generation load of coal-fired power plants can usually only be maintained at 30%-100%, making it difficult to adapt to the surge in peak-shaving demand brought about by the expansion of the proportion of renewable energy. Expanding its load regulation range is therefore urgent.
[0004] Methods to improve the adaptability of coal-fired power plants include upgrading their own equipment systems and using energy storage devices for peak shaving. Upgrading coal-fired power plants themselves can easily lead to boiler combustion instability and may also cause safety risks such as boiler tube rupture. In energy storage-assisted peak shaving, hot water tanks and electric boilers, due to their small scale, are only suitable for low-temperature thermal storage or short-term peak shaving and are not suitable for large-scale power systems. Molten salt thermal storage, with its advantages of large storage capacity, high temperature, wide operating range, high energy density, and long lifespan, has become a key research focus for improving the flexibility of coal-fired power plants.
[0005] In the flexibility retrofitting of coal-fired power units, existing molten salt energy storage solutions typically employ a single-salt, dual-tank system. This system includes a high-temperature molten salt tank and a low-temperature molten salt tank, storing molten salt at different temperatures. However, the coupling of a single-salt, dual-tank molten salt thermal storage system with a coal-fired power unit presents significant limitations. The internal circulating working fluid temperature of a coal-fired power unit spans 35-560℃, encompassing multiple grades of thermal energy. In contrast, the operating temperature range of a single type of molten salt (such as solar salt (260-570℃) or Hitec salt (180-460℃)) is fixed, failing to achieve comprehensive coverage of thermal energy across a wide temperature range. This results in difficulty in capturing low-temperature waste heat and an inability to handle high-temperature thermal energy, lacking the system's capacity for tiered storage and utilization of different grades of thermal energy. Furthermore, in terms of peak-shaving operation, the fixed temperature range of a single salt limits the range of its thermal storage / release power adjustment, making it difficult to match the wide load fluctuations required by coal-fired power units. Therefore, a superior solution is needed to address the aforementioned problems encountered in energy storage applications. Summary of the Invention

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in the system's thermal storage operation mode, liquid low-temperature solar salt stored in the low-temperature solar salt tank 2 is drawn and pressurized by the low-temperature solar salt pump 9. The pressurized low-temperature solar salt first enters the second steam-molten salt heat exchanger 6, where it exchanges heat with high-parameter main steam from the boiler superheater outlet. The main steam releases heat to heat the solar salt, reducing its own temperature and pressure. The solar salt, initially heated by the second steam-molten salt heat exchanger 6, then enters the first steam-molten salt heat exchanger 5, where it further exchanges heat with medium-to-high-parameter reheat steam from the boiler reheater outlet. The reheat steam releases heat to continue heating the solar salt, cooling itself. After two stages of heating by the main steam and reheat steam, the solar salt temperature significantly increases, reaching the preset high-temperature thermal storage temperature (e.g., 500-600℃), becoming high-temperature solar salt. The high-temperature solar salt is then transported to the high-temperature solar salt tank 1 for storage.
[0021] Liquid cryogenic Hitec salt stored in cryogenic Hitec salt tank 4 is drawn and pressurized by cryogenic Hitec salt pump 10. The pressurized cryogenic Hitec salt then enters phase change heat exchanger 7. In this heat exchanger, the Hitec salt exchanges heat with the residual heat of the main steam, whose temperature has decreased after heat exchange in the first steam-molten salt heat exchanger 5, absorbing its heat. During the heat exchange process, the main steam, whose temperature has decreased, undergoes a phase change, releasing a large amount of latent heat, allowing the cryogenic Hitec salt to store a significant amount of heat. The heated Hitec salt then reaches its preset high-temperature heat storage temperature (e.g., 300-350°C), becoming high-temperature Hitec salt. The high-temperature Hitec salt is then transported to high-temperature Hitec salt tank 3 for storage.
[0022] In the energy storage process, in addition to the aforementioned molten salt energy storage, the system also optimizes the utilization of waste heat from main steam and reheat steam. In the first steam-molten salt heat exchanger 5 and the second steam-molten salt heat exchanger 6, after the steam releases heat to the molten salt, it still retains a certain temperature and pressure, which can be introduced into the conventional regenerative system of thermal power plants to heat feedwater or condensate, thereby reducing the demand for turbine extraction steam in the regenerative system, indirectly reducing the unit's power generation capacity, and improving the overall cycle efficiency. Specifically, the cooled main steam from the phase change heat exchanger 7 is used to heat part of the feedwater pump through the ordinary heat exchanger 8 before being fed to the final feedwater; the cooled reheat steam from the second steam-molten salt heat exchanger 6 is fed into the low-pressure cylinder inlet to continue doing work.
[0023] enter Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the system's heat release operating mode is described in the following document. Figure 2 : The high-temperature solar salt stored in the high-temperature solar salt tank 1 is drawn out and pressurized by the high-temperature solar salt pump 13. The pressurized high-temperature solar salt then enters the molten salt system. Feedwater evaporator 11. In molten salt In the feedwater evaporator 11, high-temperature solar salt exchanges heat with high-pressure feedwater from the feedwater pump outlet, which is about to enter the boiler economizer. The high-temperature solar salt releases a large amount of heat, heating the high-pressure feedwater to a superheated steam state. The heated high-pressure feedwater is then sent into the cold reheat steam, thereby increasing the unit's power generation capacity. After releasing heat, the solar salt's temperature decreases, becoming low-temperature solar salt, which is then sent back to the low-temperature solar salt tank 2.
[0024] High-temperature Hitec salt stored in high-temperature Hitec salt tank 3 is drawn and pressurized by high-temperature Hitec salt pump 14. The pressurized high-temperature Hitec salt then enters molten salt-feedwater heat exchanger 12. In molten salt-feedwater heat exchanger 12, the high-temperature Hitec salt exchanges heat with the feedwater in the regenerative system, releasing heat to heat the feedwater to a higher temperature. Because its temperature has been preheated, the amount of heat required to enter these heaters is reduced, thereby reducing the amount of steam extracted from the turbine to heat this water (i.e., reducing turbine extraction losses). Reduced extraction means more steam can continue to expand and do work in each stage of the turbine, increasing the turbine's effective output power and thus improving the unit's total power generation. After releasing heat, the Hitec salt's temperature decreases (or it undergoes a phase change), becoming low-temperature Hitec salt, which is then returned to low-temperature Hitec salt tank 4.
[0025] Through the above process, during the heat release process of the molten salt energy storage system, the superheated section corresponds to the high-parameter molten salt, and the heated section corresponds to the low-parameter molten salt, realizing the cascade utilization of energy. This allows for the generation of steam with higher parameters to meet the power generation needs of subsequent processes.
[0026] Through the aforementioned energy storage scheme, the system can generate steam with higher parameters. When used for power generation, this can improve the system's output power and power generation efficiency; when used for heating, the higher steam parameters can adapt to a wider range of heating scenarios. This energy storage scheme eliminates the shortcomings of the dual-tank molten salt system and has broad application prospects in areas such as deep peak shaving of thermal power units, industrial heating, steam power generation, and waste heat utilization.
