[0002] Solar energy is a sustainable and clean external energy source for Earth, and also the most promising new energy source. Modern active utilization of solar energy mainly focuses on solar thermal energy and solar photovoltaic power generation.

[0044] Example 1: A solar thermal multi-source energy storage steam station, such as... Figure 1 As shown.
[0045] This embodiment includes a heating system, an energy storage device, a heating component, and a user system. The heating system includes a heating unit MU41 consisting of a solar collector H0, a heat transfer medium pipeline component, and a heat transfer medium power and / or control component. An electric heating device H1 and / or a combustion-type enthalpy change heating device H3 may be added.
[0046] The energy storage device includes a heat storage container 1, a heat storage material 2, a heat transfer medium 3, a heating system cold flow pipe 41, and a heating system hot flow pipe 51. The heat storage container 1 contains the heat storage material 2 and the heat transfer medium 3.

[0048] The heating system heat flow pipe 51 is connected to the upper part of the heat storage container 1 or the upper fluid cavity or the upper fluid distributor, and its outer end is connected to the output end of the heat transfer working medium pipe of the heating system.
[0049] The heating system unit MU41 controls the conveying of the heat transfer medium 3 into and out of the heating device;
[0050] In this embodiment, the heating component adopts a homogeneous heat transfer external heat exchanger heating component, including a heating system cold flow pipe 42, a heating system hot flow pipe 52, and an external heat exchanger E10. The heating system cold flow pipe 42 is connected to the bottom of the heat storage container 1 or the bottom fluid cavity or the bottom fluid distributor. The heating system hot flow pipe 52 is connected to the upper part of the heat storage container 1 or the upper fluid cavity or the upper fluid distributor. The primary side heat exchange medium input and output pipes of the external heat exchanger E10 are respectively connected to the heating system hot flow pipe 52 and the heating system cold flow pipe 42. The heat exchange medium pipes may have a heating system unit MU52 composed of heat transfer medium power and / or control components. The secondary side of the external heat exchanger E10 is connected to the heat-receiving medium pipeline or cascaded heat exchanger of the user system.
[0051] In this embodiment, the heat storage material 2 is a metal-based heat storage element, which is stacked together to form gaps or channels between each other; the heat transfer medium 3 is heat transfer oil, but is not limited to this, and the heat transfer medium 3 is stable and does not react with the solid surface of the heat storage material 2; the heat storage material 2 and the heat transfer medium 3 can use the same molten salt.
[0052] The injection and discharge pipe 8 connects to the bottom of the heat storage container 1, with its suction port close to the bottom wall and below the horizontal plane of the heat transfer medium 3 inlet and outlet of the bottom fluid distributor. The overflow device 9 is installed on the upper part of the heat storage container 1, with the overflow port level with the upper limit of the working medium liquid level of the heat storage container 1 and the overflow pipe outlet extending out of the heat storage container 1.
[0053] In this embodiment, the user system is the steam system A2. The secondary side of the external heat exchanger E10 is connected to the water source pipeline and the steam pipeline. The water press unit MUA2 provides power and control for the water to flow into and out of the heat exchanger for heat exchange.
[0054] This embodiment includes four general working processes.
[0055] Process 1: Heating process
[0056] The heating device of the heating system transfers heat from the heat source side to the user side. The heat transfer medium 3 flows through the user side of the heating device to absorb heat and raise its temperature. Under the action of the heat transfer medium power and / or control components, namely the heating system unit MU41, the low-temperature heat transfer medium 3 is input from the heating system cold flow pipe 41 through the heat transfer medium pipe component of the heating system, and the high-temperature heat transfer medium 3 after heat exchange is output through the heat transfer medium pipe component of the heating system to the heating system hot flow pipe 51, so as to realize the continuous transfer of enthalpy change heat to the heat transfer medium 3.
[0057] Process 2: Heating and Energy Storage Process
[0058] High-temperature heat transfer medium 3 is input, that is, high-temperature heat transfer medium 3 is input through the heating system heat flow pipe 51, or distributed through the upper fluid distributor and flooded into the upper part of the heat storage container 1.
[0059] The low-temperature heat transfer medium 3 is output, that is, the low-temperature heat transfer medium 3 at the bottom of the heat storage container 1, or distributed through the bottom fluid distributor and output through the heating system cold flow pipe 41.
[0060] The heat transfer medium 3 enters at a high temperature and exits at a low temperature, increasing the total internal energy of the heat storage material 3 in the heat storage container 1. The heating and energy storage process ends when the temperature difference between the heat transfer medium 3 entering and exiting approaches zero.
[0061] Within the operating temperature range, the higher the liquid phase temperature of the heat transfer medium 3, the lower its density. A temperature gradient layer is formed between the upper high-temperature heat transfer medium 3 and the lower low-temperature heat transfer medium 3, which hinders convective heat transfer between the upper and lower layers. The heat transfer medium 3 mainly exchanges heat with the heat storage material 2 in the same layer. At the same time, the heat transfer medium 3 at the bottom of the heat storage container 1 is extracted from the heating system cold flow pipe 41, which keeps the liquid level in the heat storage container 1 basically unchanged and causes the high-temperature heat transfer medium 3 continuously injected into the upper part of the heat storage container 1 to move downward. Meanwhile, the heat storage material 2 in the same layer absorbs heat and its temperature rises, and the high-temperature layer also gradually moves downward. As the temperature of the heat storage material 2 rises and the temperature difference between the heat transfer medium 3 and the heat transfer medium 3 gradually decreases, the heat exchange will gradually weaken until the temperature of the heat transfer medium 3 extracted from the heating system cold flow pipe 41 no longer rises. When the heat exchange reaches equilibrium, the heating and energy storage process ends.
[0062] Process 3: Energy Release and Heating Process
[0063] This embodiment describes the energy release heating process of a homogeneous heat transfer external heat exchanger.
[0064] The homogeneous heat transfer external heat exchanger provides heating, including a heating system cold flow pipe 42, a heating system hot flow pipe 52, and an external heat exchanger E10. The heating system cold flow pipe 42 is connected to the bottom of the heat storage container 1 or the bottom fluid cavity or the bottom fluid distributor. The heating system hot flow pipe 52 is connected to the upper part of the heat storage container 1 or the upper fluid cavity or the upper fluid distributor. The primary side heat exchange medium input and output pipes of the external heat exchanger E10 are respectively connected to the heating system hot flow pipe 52 and the heating system cold flow pipe 42. The heat exchange medium pipes may have heat transfer medium power and / or control components, i.e., the heating system unit MU52. The secondary side heat exchange medium input and output pipes of the external heat exchanger E10 are connected to the user system heat-receiving medium pipes.
[0065] The homogeneous heat transfer external heat exchanger provides heat. Under normal operating conditions, or under the action of the heat transfer medium power and / or control components, the high-temperature heat transfer medium 3 is input to the primary side of the external heat exchanger E10 through the heat supply system heat flow pipe 52 from the upper part or upper fluid cavity of the heat storage container 1, or through the upper fluid distributor, for heat exchange. After heat exchange, the low-temperature heat transfer medium 3 flows back to the bottom of the heat storage container 1 or the bottom fluid cavity through the heat supply system cold flow pipe 42, or through the bottom fluid distributor. The heat transfer medium 3 is input at high temperature and output at low temperature on the primary side of the external heat exchanger E10, and the output heat energy is used to heat the secondary side.
[0066] The homogeneous heat transfer external heat exchanger provides heat. During the process of low-temperature input and high-temperature output of the heat transfer medium 3, the low-temperature heat transfer medium 3 at the bottom rises and absorbs the heat of the heat storage material 2 it touches. The temperature of the low-temperature heat transfer medium 3 increases and the temperature of the high-temperature heat storage material 2 decreases. The greater the temperature difference between the two, the greater the heat exchange power. When the temperature difference between the two approaches zero, the heat exchange tends to terminate. Within the operating temperature range, the density of the heat transfer medium 3 is low at high temperatures and high at low temperatures. An inclined temperature layer is formed between the lower low-temperature heat transfer medium 3 and the upper high-temperature heat transfer medium 3 in the heat storage container 1, which hinders the convective heat transfer between the upper and lower layers and forms an isothermal surface in the direction of gravity. The low-temperature isothermal surface gradually moves upward until the temperature difference between the input and output heat transfer medium 3 approaches zero, at which point the energy release and heating end.
[0067] Step 4: Heat absorption and enthalpy increase in the user system:
[0068] The user system's heated fluid absorbs heat from the primary side heat transfer medium 3 through heat exchange on the secondary side of the external heat exchanger E10, increasing its internal energy and raising its temperature.
[0069] The steam station of the solar thermal multi-source energy storage heat station described in this embodiment utilizes solar thermal energy to produce steam through energy storage and release technology, which is then supplied to production and residential users.
[0070] Example 2: A solar thermal multi-source energy storage heat station, such as... Figure 2 As shown.
[0071] This embodiment includes a heating system, an energy storage device, a heating component, and a user system. Unlike embodiment one, the heating component uses a secondary heat exchange immersion heat exchanger, and the user system is a hot gas system A0.
[0072] The secondary heat exchange immersion heat exchanger heating component includes an immersion heat exchanger 10, which is installed in the upper or middle-upper fluid cavity of the heat storage container 1. The secondary side tube of the immersion heat exchanger 10 is connected to the heat-receiving medium pipeline of the user system.
[0073] Process 1: Heating process
[0074] The heating device of the heating system transfers the enthalpy change heat from the heat source side to the user side. The heat transfer medium 3 flows through the user side of the enthalpy change heating device and absorbs heat to raise the temperature. Under the action of the heat transfer medium power and / or control components, the low-temperature heat transfer medium 3 is input from the cold flow pipe 41 of the heating system through the heat transfer medium pipe component of the enthalpy change heating system, and the high-temperature heat transfer medium 3 is output to the hot flow pipe 51 of the heating system through the heat transfer medium pipe component of the enthalpy change heating system, so as to realize the continuous transfer of enthalpy change heat to the heat transfer medium 3.
[0075] Process 2: Heating and Energy Storage Process
[0076] High-temperature heat transfer medium 3 is input, that is, high-temperature heat transfer medium 3 is input through the heating system heat flow pipe 51, or distributed through the upper fluid distributor and flooded into the upper part of the heat storage container 1.
[0077] The low-temperature heat transfer medium 3 is output, that is, the low-temperature heat transfer medium 3 at the bottom of the heat storage container 1, or distributed through the bottom fluid distributor and output through the heating system cold flow pipe 41.
[0078] The heat transfer medium 3 enters at a high temperature and exits at a low temperature, increasing the total internal energy of the heat storage material 3 in the heat storage container 1. The heating and energy storage process ends when the temperature difference between the heat transfer medium 3 entering and exiting approaches zero.
[0079] Within the operating temperature range, the higher the liquid phase temperature of the heat transfer medium 3, the lower its density. A temperature gradient layer is formed between the upper high-temperature heat transfer medium 3 and the lower low-temperature heat transfer medium 3, which hinders convective heat transfer between the upper and lower layers. The heat transfer medium 3 mainly exchanges heat with the heat storage material 2 in the same layer. At the same time, the heat transfer medium 3 at the bottom of the heat storage container 1 is extracted from the heating system cold flow pipe 41, which keeps the liquid level in the heat storage container 1 basically unchanged and causes the high-temperature heat transfer medium 3 continuously injected into the upper part of the heat storage container 1 to move downward. Meanwhile, the heat storage material 2 in the same layer absorbs heat and its temperature rises, and the high-temperature layer also gradually moves downward. As the temperature of the heat storage material 2 rises and the temperature difference between the heat transfer medium 3 and the heat transfer medium 3 gradually decreases, the heat exchange will gradually weaken until the temperature of the heat transfer medium 3 extracted from the heating system cold flow pipe 41 no longer rises. When the heat exchange reaches equilibrium, the heating and energy storage process ends.
[0080] Process 3: Energy Release and Heating Process
[0081] In this embodiment, the energy release heating process is a secondary heat exchange immersion heat exchanger heating process.
[0082] The secondary heat exchange immersion heat exchanger provides heating, including an immersion heat exchanger 10. The immersion heat exchanger 10 is placed in the upper or middle-upper fluid cavity of the heat storage container 1. The primary side of the immersion heat exchanger 10 is the outer side of the tube wall, which is in direct contact with and immersed in the heat transfer medium 3. The secondary side of the immersion heat exchanger 10 is connected to the user system's heat-receiving medium pipeline.
[0083] The secondary heat exchange immersion heat exchanger provides heating. Under normal operating conditions, the primary side heat transfer medium 3 transfers heat to the secondary side tube-side heat exchange medium. The primary side heat transfer medium 3 releases heat and cools down, forming a density flow that naturally sinks. The high-temperature heat transfer medium 3 rises to fill the gap. The cooled heat transfer medium 3 absorbs the heat from the heat storage material 2 it touches. The heat storage material 2 releases heat and lowers its temperature. The heat transfer medium 3 absorbs heat and rises in temperature until the temperature difference between the heat storage material 2, the heat transfer medium 3, and the heat exchange medium is small and the heat exchange is weak, thus ending the heating process.
[0084] Step 4: Heat absorption and enthalpy increase in the user system:
[0085] The user system's heating medium flows through the secondary side tubes of the immersion heat exchanger 10 for heat exchange, absorbing heat from the primary side heat transfer medium 3 to increase internal energy and raise temperature.
