Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] Existing phase change thermal energy storage systems include: steam input pipelines, single-tank phase change thermal energy storage devices, steam output pipelines, circulating pumps, temperature sensors, and a simple start-stop control system; wherein, the single-tank phase change thermal energy storage device incorporates a single phase change material; the working process of the phase change thermal energy storage system is as follows: During the energy storage phase: when steam supply is excessive (e.g., user demand is lower than boiler output), the steam input valve is opened, releasing high-temperature steam (150-180℃, pressure 0.5-1.0). The pressure (MPa) is directly fed into the phase change thermal storage device, where it contacts and exchanges heat with the phase change material (commonly paraffin or inorganic salts, phase change temperature 120-140℃) inside the tank. After absorbing the latent heat of steam, the phase change material changes from solid to liquid, completing energy storage. In the energy release stage: when user demand increases (such as during peak production periods), the circulating pump is started to send the high-temperature heat transfer oil (or water) at the bottom of the tank into the thermal storage device. After exchanging heat with the liquid phase change material, the temperature rises, and then the heat is transferred to the cold water through the heat exchanger to generate saturated steam (100-120℃), which is then supplied to the user through the output pipeline. Furthermore, the phase change material (PCM) heat storage density of the phase change thermal storage system is approximately 250-300 kJ / kg; the energy storage efficiency (the proportion of steam heat converted into the latent heat of the PCM) is approximately 75%-80%; the temperature fluctuation range of the steam generated by energy release is ±8-10℃; the annual operating efficiency of the system is approximately 65%-70%; the service life of the PCM is approximately 3-5 years (repeated phase changes can easily lead to stratification and leakage problems); the control logic of the PCM system is controlled only by a single-point temperature sensor inside the tank. When the PCM temperature is ≥140℃, the steam input is shut off (energy storage is completed); when the temperature is ≤120℃, energy release is stopped or energy storage is restarted. This cannot match steam of different temperature levels, resulting in heat waste of high-temperature steam and insufficient energy storage density. In addition, determining the heat storage and release of the thermal storage device based on the temperature of the PCM makes it impossible to achieve precise supply and demand allocation. This application provides a layered steam phase change heat storage and release management system and method. It uses energy storage devices in different energy storage areas to store steam at different temperatures, thereby improving heat storage density and energy storage efficiency and reducing heat loss. It uses different phase change materials in each energy storage area to store heat, thereby improving the stability and service life of the phase change materials and reducing operation and maintenance costs. It dynamically adjusts the heat storage and release process through supply and demand forecasting and intelligent control to achieve precise matching of steam supply and demand and improve the system's operating efficiency.
[0020] This application provides a layered steam phase change heat storage and release management system, see reference. Figure 1As shown in the embodiment of this application, the layered steam phase change heat storage and release management system includes: an energy storage device 110 and a control device 120. The energy storage device 110 includes a heat exchanger and an energy storage body. The energy storage body includes multiple energy storage areas, each of which is connected to a heat exchanger. Each energy storage area is provided with a different phase change material. The control device 120 is signal-connected to the energy storage device 110. The control device is used to acquire steam supply data and user demand data at the steam end; determine the supply and demand relationship corresponding to the steam supply data and user demand data at future times based on the steam supply data and user demand data; generate an energy storage command based on the supply and demand relationship; and control the target heat exchanger corresponding to the steam temperature in the steam supply data of the energy storage command to start, so that the steam at the steam end enters the target energy storage area corresponding to the target heat exchanger through the target heat exchanger for heat exchange, until the first heat exchange termination condition is reached, and then control the target heat exchanger to stop operating.
[0021] In specific implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the energy storage device 110 includes a high-temperature steam energy storage area (steam temperature T≥160℃) and a medium-temperature steam energy storage area (130℃≤steam temperature T<160℃). The high-temperature steam storage area is connected to one end of a high-temperature heat exchanger via a high-temperature pipeline, and the other end of the high-temperature heat exchanger is connected to the steam outlet via a high-temperature valve and a high-temperature pipeline. The high-temperature steam energy storage area uses a composite high-temperature phase change material, wherein the phase change temperature of the composite high-temperature phase change material is 160℃ and the latent heat is 380kJ / kg. The medium-temperature steam storage area is connected to one end of a medium-temperature heat exchanger via a medium-temperature pipeline, and the other end of the medium-temperature heat exchanger is connected to the steam outlet via a medium-temperature valve and a medium-temperature pipeline. The medium-temperature steam energy storage area uses a composite medium-temperature phase change material, wherein the phase change temperature of the composite medium-temperature phase change material is 130℃ and the latent heat is 350kJ / kg. In this embodiment, the composite high-temperature phase change material can be a composite high-temperature phase change material of "lithium nitrate-sodium nitrate mixed salt + expanded graphite"; the composite medium-temperature phase change material can be a composite medium-temperature phase change material of "modified paraffin + carbon fiber". This solves the problems of poor adaptability of single materials and low heat storage density in the existing technology, and enables the selection of suitable phase change materials according to steam of different temperature levels, thereby improving heat storage density, increasing energy storage efficiency and reducing heat loss.
[0022] Furthermore, the steam end can be an industrial boiler or a thermal power plant, etc.; the steam end can be equipped with one steam outlet, or it can be equipped with one high-temperature steam outlet and one medium-temperature steam outlet.
[0023] Furthermore, the energy storage device in this embodiment has a tank volume of 50-150 m³, with two layers of internal insulation, dividing it into an upper high-temperature steam energy storage area and a lower medium-temperature steam energy storage area, and employing a polyurethane insulation layer (200mm thick); it also uses a stainless steel / aluminum alloy sealed shell to encapsulate the phase change material, and incorporates a low-frequency vibration anti-agglomeration design to prevent phase change material delamination and leakage, thereby extending the service life of the phase change material to 8-10 years and reducing operation and maintenance costs; the energy storage device provided in this embodiment achieves an energy storage efficiency of over 90% compared to existing energy storage devices, and the energy storage efficiency of the energy storage device can be determined by the following formula:
[0024] In the formula, For energy storage efficiency, For the quality of composite high-temperature phase change materials, The latent heat of phase change in composite high-temperature phase change materials For the quality of composite medium-temperature phase change materials, The latent heat of phase change in composite medium-temperature phase change materials, For high-temperature steam flow rate, The enthalpy difference is the heat release from high-temperature steam. For medium-temperature steam flow rate, This represents the enthalpy difference for heat release from intermediate-temperature steam. High-temperature pipelines can transport steam at temperatures of 160℃ to 180℃ and pressures of 0.8MPa to 1.0MPa; medium-temperature pipelines can transport steam at temperatures of 130℃ to 150℃ and pressures of 0.5MPa to 0.7MPa. The heat exchange areas of both high-temperature and medium-temperature heat exchangers range from 8 m³ to 15 m³, and their heat exchange efficiencies are both ≥95%. Both the high-temperature valve and the medium-temperature valve are electrically adjustable valves with an adjustment accuracy of ±1%.
[0025] In practical implementation, the working process of the control device 120 is as follows: Step 1: Data Acquisition Phase: The control device updates the data every 10 minutes. First, the control device's acquisition unit obtains steam supply data and energy storage status data collected by sensors installed in the energy storage device. The steam supply data includes high-temperature steam flow rate. High-temperature steam temperature Medium-temperature steam flow rate and medium-temperature steam temperature Energy storage status data includes the temperature of the high-temperature steam energy storage area. Temperature of the medium-temperature steam energy storage area Phase change material phase change state (solid or liquid); acquire user demand data collected by sensors installed at the user end, including real-time steam demand flow rate. and steam demand temperature The unit for flow rate is t / h, and the unit for temperature is ℃. Step 2: Supply and Demand Forecasting Stage: Based on steam supply data and user demand data, the control device determines the supply and demand relationship corresponding to the future steam supply data and user demand data; further, based on the steam supply flow rate and pipeline heat loss coefficient of the steam supply data, it determines the steam supply flow rate corresponding to the future steam supply data; based on the steam demand flow rate and demand correction coefficient of the user demand data, it determines the steam demand flow rate corresponding to the future user demand data; based on the steam supply flow rate and steam demand flow rate, it determines the supply and demand relationship corresponding to the future steam supply data and user demand data; in this embodiment, the future steam supply flow rate is determined by the following first forecast formula:
[0026] In the formula, For future steam supply flow, For high-temperature steam flow rate, The enthalpy difference is the heat release from high-temperature steam. For medium-temperature steam flow rate, This represents the enthalpy difference for heat release from intermediate-temperature steam. This is the heat loss from the pipes; among which, In the formula, k is the heat transfer coefficient of the pipe, and L is the pipe length. This refers to the average steam temperature, which is the average temperature of the steam output over a preset time period. The ambient temperature of the energy storage device can be obtained through sensors installed on the energy storage device. The steam demand flow rate at future times is determined using the following second prediction formula:
[0027] In the formula, For future steam demand flow rates, For the user's steam demand flow rate, The enthalpy difference for real-time vapor heat release for users. The demand fluctuation coefficient can be determined using historical steam demand flow data, and its value is generally between 0.1 and 0.3. Step 31: Trigger Control Phase: When it is determined that the steam supply flow rate is greater than the steam demand flow rate, an energy storage command is generated, i.e. When this occurs (indicating oversupply), an energy storage command is triggered; Step 41: Command Execution Stage: Based on the steam temperature in the steam supply data of the energy storage command, control the target heat exchanger corresponding to the steam temperature to start, so that the steam at the steam end enters the target energy storage area corresponding to the target heat exchanger for heat exchange, until the first heat exchange termination condition is reached, then control the target heat exchanger to stop operating; wherein, the first heat exchange termination condition is that the user's steam demand flow rate is equal to the steam supply flow rate, or the phase change material is in a completely liquid state. In this embodiment, when the steam temperature T in the steam supply data is ≥160℃, the steam temperature is determined to be high-temperature steam. The control device controls the high-temperature valve to open, allowing the high-temperature steam to enter the high-temperature heat exchanger and indirectly exchange heat with the composite high-temperature phase change material in the high-temperature steam energy storage area. The composite high-temperature phase change material absorbs heat and changes from solid to liquid. After heat exchange, the steam condenses into water and returns to the steam end (i.e., the boiler) through the recovery pipeline. When the steam temperature in the steam supply data is 130℃≤T<160℃, the steam temperature is determined to be medium-temperature steam. The control device controls the medium-temperature valve to open, allowing the medium-temperature steam to enter the medium-temperature heat exchanger and indirectly exchange heat with the composite medium-temperature phase change material in the medium-temperature steam energy storage area. The composite medium-temperature phase change material absorbs heat and changes from solid to liquid. After heat exchange, the steam condenses into water and returns to the steam end (i.e., the boiler) through the recovery pipeline. Changes in the energy storage area are monitored by multi-point temperature sensors in the energy storage area. For example, when the temperature of the composite high-temperature phase change material is ≥165℃ (completely liquid) and the temperature of the composite medium-temperature phase change material is ≥135℃ (completely liquid), or when the temperature is predicted... At that time, the control device closes the high-temperature valve and the medium-temperature valve to complete energy storage.
[0028] In this embodiment, the energy storage device 110 further includes a circulation pump connected to multiple heat exchangers; a control device is signal-connected to the circulation pump, and the control device is used to generate a heat release command based on the supply and demand relationship; based on the demand temperature in the user demand data in the heat release command, the control device controls the circulation pump to start, so that the heat exchange medium enters the phase change material of the target energy storage area corresponding to the demand temperature in the target heat exchanger for heat exchange, until the second heat exchange termination condition is reached, and then controls the circulation pump to stop running.
[0029] In specific implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the energy storage device 110 also includes a circulation pump; wherein the circulation pump is connected to a high-temperature heat exchanger and a medium-temperature heat exchanger via pipelines. In this embodiment, the circulation pump is a variable frequency circulation pump with a flow rate of 5 m³ / h to 20 m³ / h.
[0030] Furthermore, the control device is signal-connected to the circulating pump. The control device generates a heat release command based on the supply and demand relationship. Based on the demand temperature in the user demand data of the heat release command, the control device starts the circulating pump so that the heat exchange medium enters the target heat exchanger corresponding to the demand temperature and exchanges heat with the phase change material in the target energy storage area corresponding to the target heat exchanger. The circulating pump stops operating when the second heat exchange termination condition is reached. The output flow rate of the circulating pump can be determined by: obtaining the output steam temperature of the energy storage device; determining the output flow rate of the circulating pump based on the output steam temperature, the demand temperature, the rated flow rate of the circulating pump, and the temperature regulation coefficient; the second heat exchange termination condition is that the user's steam demand flow rate is less than the steam supply flow rate, or the phase change material is in a completely solid state.
[0031] In practical implementation, the specific working process of the control device 120 also includes: Step 32: Trigger Control Phase: When it is determined that the steam supply flow rate is less than the steam demand flow rate, a heat release command is generated, i.e. When the supply is insufficient, a heat release command is triggered. Step 42: Command Execution Stage: Based on the required temperature in the user demand data of the heat release command, control the circulation pump to start, so that the heat exchange medium enters the target heat exchanger corresponding to the required temperature and exchanges heat with the phase change material in the target energy storage region corresponding to the target heat exchanger, until the second heat exchange termination condition is reached, then control the circulation pump to stop running. In this embodiment of the application, when the required temperature in the user demand data... When the temperature is high, the high-temperature steam storage area is activated to release heat. Specifically, the control device controls the circulating pump to send cold water (the heat exchange medium) into the high-temperature heat exchanger, where it exchanges heat with the liquid composite high-temperature phase change material to generate high-temperature steam at 160°C to 170°C, which is then transported to the user via pipeline. When the user's required temperature is 120°C or lower... When the temperature is <150℃, the medium-temperature steam energy storage area is activated for heat release. Specifically, the control device controls the circulating pump to send cold water (i.e., the heat exchange medium) into the medium-temperature heat exchanger, where it exchanges heat with the liquid composite high-temperature phase change material to generate medium-temperature steam at 130℃ to 140℃, which is then transported to the user via pipeline. When the temperature of the composite high-temperature phase change material is ≤155℃ (completely solid) and the temperature of the composite medium-temperature phase change material is ≤125℃ (completely solid), or as predicted... At this time, the control device shuts down the circulating pump to stop heat release; Furthermore, the control device is also used to monitor the output steam temperature of the energy storage device in real time. ,like The target flow rate of the circulating pump is then determined according to the following formula to improve the heat exchange rate:
[0032] In the formula, The target flow rate of the circulating pump, The rated flow rate of the circulating pump, To meet the user's temperature requirements, The output temperature of the energy storage device. This is the temperature regulation coefficient, typically set to 5℃; like If the control device controls the operation of the high-temperature valve and / or the medium-temperature valve, it reduces the input steam flow from the steam end to the energy storage device, or reduces the temperature of the output steam from the steam end by using the bypass valve located at the outlet of the steam end. If the temperatures of the phase change materials in the energy storage device have all dropped to their phase change points (i.e., the temperature of the composite high-temperature phase change material is 160℃, and the temperature of the composite medium-temperature phase change material is 130℃) and In such cases, auxiliary steam supply is activated, meaning steam from the steam source is directly delivered to the user via pipeline, ensuring the output temperature of the energy storage device is maintained. The fluctuation value is ±3℃.
[0033] This application embodiment controls the temperature fluctuation of the heat release steam within ±3℃ by adjusting the circulation pump flow rate and the auxiliary steam replenishment mechanism, thus solving the problem of large temperature fluctuation in the prior art and meeting the high-precision process requirements of chemical, food processing and other industries.
[0034] In this embodiment, the heat storage and release command is dynamically triggered based on steam supply data and user demand data to achieve precise matching of supply and demand and avoid untimely energy storage or insufficient energy release.
[0035] In this embodiment of the application, the control device in the layered steam phase change heat storage and release management system is further used for: Phase change material status detection: The density sensor installed in the energy storage device monitors the parameters of the phase change material at a preset period and determines the status of the phase change material based on the parameters. If stratification or leakage occurs, an alarm is triggered and maintenance is prompted. Life extension mechanism: After each heat storage and release cycle, the control device uses a low-frequency vibration device (power 500W) to slightly vibrate the phase change material to avoid crystallization and agglomeration, thereby extending the service life to 8-10 years. Data optimization: The stratified steam phase change heat storage and release management system automatically stores daily heat storage and release data, generates monthly optimization reports, and adjusts parameters such as the heat exchange area of the phase change material and the rated flow rate of the circulating pump to continuously improve system efficiency.
[0036] This application provides a layered steam phase change heat storage and release management method, applicable to the control device in the aforementioned layered steam phase change heat storage and release management system. (See attached document.) Figure 3 As shown in the embodiments of this application, the layered steam phase change heat storage and release management method includes: Step 310: Obtain steam supply data and user demand data from the steam end; Step 320: Based on steam supply data and user demand data, determine the supply and demand relationship corresponding to the steam supply data and user demand data at future moments; Step 330: Generate energy storage instructions based on supply and demand. Step 340: Based on the steam temperature in the steam supply data in the energy storage command, control the target heat exchanger corresponding to the steam temperature to start, so that the steam at the steam end enters the target energy storage area corresponding to the target heat exchanger for heat exchange, until the heat exchange termination condition is reached, then control the target heat exchanger to stop running.
[0037] In an optional embodiment, the stratified steam phase change heat storage and release management method provided in this application further includes: Based on the supply and demand relationship, heat release instructions are generated; Based on the required temperature in the user demand data in the heat release command, the circulating pump is controlled to start so that the heat exchange medium enters the target heat exchanger corresponding to the required temperature and exchanges heat with the phase change material in the target energy storage area corresponding to the target heat exchanger. The circulating pump is controlled to stop running when the second heat exchange termination condition is reached.
