Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energy comprehensive utilization technology, and relates to a gas turbine energy comprehensive utilization system and method for indirect combustion of biomass. Background Technology
[0002] Biomass indirect combustion gas turbine technology, as a power generation technology that can effectively avoid biomass fuel ash corrosion and extend turbine blade life, has broad application prospects in the fields of distributed energy and efficient utilization of biomass energy. In recent years, with the development of multi-energy complementarity and advanced power cycle theory, this technology has gradually evolved towards high parameters and combined heat and power (CHP).
[0003] Currently, biomass indirect combustion gas turbine systems mainly include biomass boilers, compressors, high-temperature heat exchangers, turbines, and generator sets. Biomass is burned in the biomass boiler to produce high-temperature flue gas, which exchanges heat with clean turbine working fluid in the high-temperature heat exchanger. Afterward, the flue gas enters the turbine to expand and do work, driving the generator set to generate electricity. The dusty and corrosive flue gas produced by combustion only flows through the high-temperature heat exchanger, while the clean turbine working fluid circulates independently, achieving physical isolation between "combustion and working fluid". This reduces the risk of damage to the compressor and turbine blades caused by ash deposition, high-temperature corrosion, and particulate erosion.
[0004] However, in the actual operation of biomass indirect combustion systems, there are still some shortcomings: First, the variety of biomass fuels and the large fluctuations in moisture content can easily cause significant fluctuations in the temperature of flue gas generated by the external combustion furnace, leading to a shortened lifespan of the high-temperature heat exchanger and damage to the quality of power generation. Second, using air as the turbine working fluid, due to its relatively low specific heat capacity and poor heat transfer performance, can easily cause most of the work generated by the turbine to be consumed during the compression process, resulting in low output power and limited thermoelectric conversion efficiency. Third, only electrical energy is output, resulting in a large amount of waste heat resources being simply discharged or inefficiently utilized, failing to fully realize the potential of distributed energy systems in combined cooling, heating, and power generation, and leading to low overall energy utilization rate of the system. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a comprehensive energy utilization system and method for biomass indirect combustion gas turbine, which can stably control flue gas temperature, improve the heat transfer and power efficiency of the working fluid, realize combined cooling, heating and power, and improve the overall energy utilization rate and operational reliability of the system.

[0015] A method for the comprehensive utilization of biomass indirect combustion gas turbine energy includes the following steps: The combustion of biomass in the biomass boiler produces high-temperature flue gas. The high-temperature flue gas enters the second heat exchanger and exchanges heat with the heat storage medium from the cold storage tank. After the heat storage medium is heated by the heat exchange, it enters the heat storage tank for storage. The high-temperature flue gas is discharged after heat exchange. The circulating water enters the first heat exchanger, is heated by the solar collector, and then enters the spray tower. Normal temperature and pressure air enters the compressor for compression to obtain medium temperature and high pressure air.

By providing the fourth heat exchanger 14, the exhaust waste heat from the turbine 3 outlet can be used to preheat the compressed humid air at the outlet of the spray tower 27, thereby increasing the working fluid temperature entering the third heat exchanger 12, enhancing the working fluid's subsequent expansion and work-making capacity in the turbine 3, realizing energy pre-recovery and cascade utilization, and improving the system's energy utilization efficiency.
[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the heating and cooling unit 6 includes a cooling component, a first heating component, and a second heating component.

Through the arrangement of the cooling component, the first heating component, and the second heating component, the waste heat from the turbine exhaust 3 discharged from the second outlet of the fourth heat exchanger 14 can be recovered and utilized in stages. First, the waste heat is used for cooling, and then the low-grade waste heat after cooling is used for heating, thereby maximizing the utilization of waste heat resources and significantly improving the overall energy utilization rate and combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) capability of the system.

At the same time, the solution is reheated through the heat exchanger 20, improving refrigeration efficiency and overall system energy utilization.
[0027] The refrigerant is either an aqueous solution of lithium bromide or an aqueous solution of ammonia.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the first heating component includes a ternary heat exchanger 13. The first inlet of the ternary heat exchanger 13 is connected to the second outlet of the fourth heat exchanger 14. The first outlet of the ternary heat exchanger 13 is connected to the atmosphere. The second inlet and second outlet of the ternary heat exchanger 13 are respectively connected to the user for heating the user. By using the ternary heat exchanger 13, the exhaust waste heat from the second outlet of the fourth heat exchanger 14 can be directly recovered and utilized to heat the user. The structure is simple, the heat exchange is stable, and the waste heat can be directly utilized, further improving the overall energy utilization rate of the system.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the second heating component includes a fifth heat exchanger 15. The first inlet of the fifth heat exchanger 15 is connected to the first outlet of the generator 19.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, a seventh heat exchanger 17 is provided between the first heat exchanger 8 and the spray tower 27. The first inlet of the seventh heat exchanger 17 is connected to the first outlet of the first heat exchanger 8, the first outlet of the seventh heat exchanger 17 is connected to the first inlet of the spray tower 27, and the second inlet of the seventh heat exchanger 17 is connected to the first outlet of the second heat exchanger 11.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the second outlet of the seventh heat exchanger 17 is connected to the inlet of the flue gas purification device 7, and the outlet of the flue gas purification device 7 is connected to the atmosphere. The first outlet of the second heat exchanger 11 is connected to the inlet of the flue gas purification device 7. By introducing the flue gas after the heat is released from the seventh heat exchanger 17 and the second heat exchanger 11 into the flue gas purification device 7 for purification, the flue gas can be discharged in compliance with standards. At the same time, the waste heat of the flue gas can be fully utilized and environmental protection requirements can be met, thereby improving the environmental performance and energy utilization rate of the system.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, a first control valve 18 is installed at the first outlet of the second heat exchanger 11 near the second inlet of the seventh heat exchanger 17, and a second control valve 30 is installed at the first outlet of the second heat exchanger 11 near the flue gas purification device 7.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also provides a method for the comprehensive utilization of biomass indirect combustion gas turbine energy, comprising the following steps: The combustion of biomass in the biomass boiler 1 produces high-temperature flue gas. The high-temperature flue gas enters the second heat exchanger 11 and exchanges heat with the heat storage medium from the cold storage tank 9. After the heat storage medium is heated by the heat exchange, it enters the heat storage tank 10 for storage. The high-temperature flue gas is discharged after heat exchange. The circulating water enters the first heat exchanger 8 and is heated by the solar collector 29 before entering the spray tower 27.
[0035] Normal temperature and pressure air enters compressor 2 for compression to obtain medium temperature and high pressure air. The medium temperature and high pressure air enters spray tower 27 and mixes with heated circulating water to obtain medium temperature and high pressure humid air. The medium temperature and high pressure humid air enters the fourth heat exchanger 14 and the third heat exchanger 12 in sequence for heat exchange. The heat storage medium in heat storage tank 10 is cooled down by heat exchange in the third heat exchanger 12 and then enters cold storage tank 9 for storage. After the medium temperature and high pressure humid air is heated by heat exchange, it becomes high temperature and high pressure humid air and enters turbine 3 to expand and do work to drive generator to generate electricity. The high temperature and high pressure humid air becomes exhaust gas.
[0036] After the exhaust gas enters the fourth heat exchanger 14 for heat exchange and cooling, it enters the cooling component and the first heating component respectively. The cooling component uses the heat in the exhaust gas to drive the absorption refrigeration cycle, so that the refrigerant changes between dilute solution, concentrated solution and gaseous refrigerant to provide cooling for users. The first heating component uses the heat in the exhaust gas to provide heating for users. After the exhaust gas is cooled in the first heating component, it enters the second heating component to provide heating for users using waste heat, and then is discharged into the atmosphere.
[0037] The temperature of the high-temperature flue gas is 800℃~1000℃, the temperature of the medium-temperature high-pressure air is 150℃~350℃ and the pressure is 0.4MPa~1.5MPa, the temperature of the high-temperature high-pressure humid air is 700℃~900℃ and the pressure is 0.4MPa~1.5MPa, the temperature of the exhaust gas is 400℃~600℃, and the temperature of the exhaust gas discharged into the atmosphere is 70℃~120℃.
[0038] Working principle: The combustion of biomass in the biomass boiler 1 produces high-temperature flue gas. The high-temperature flue gas enters the second heat exchanger 11 and exchanges heat with the heat storage medium from the cold storage tank 9. After the heat storage medium is heated by the heat exchange, it enters the heat storage tank 10 for storage. The high-temperature flue gas is discharged after heat exchange. The circulating water enters the first heat exchanger 8 and is heated by the solar collector 29 before entering the spray tower 27.
[0039] Normal temperature and pressure air enters compressor 2 for compression to obtain medium temperature and high pressure air. The medium temperature and high pressure air enters spray tower 27 and mixes with heated circulating water to obtain medium temperature and high pressure humid air. The medium temperature and high pressure humid air enters the fourth heat exchanger 14 and the third heat exchanger 12 in sequence for heat exchange. The heat storage medium in heat storage tank 10 is cooled down by heat exchange in the third heat exchanger 12 and then enters cold storage tank 9 for storage. After the medium temperature and high pressure humid air is heated by heat exchange, it becomes high temperature and high pressure humid air and enters turbine 3 to expand and do work to drive generator to generate electricity. The high temperature and high pressure humid air becomes high quality exhaust gas.
[0040] After the exhaust gas enters the fourth heat exchanger 14 for heat exchange and cooling, it enters the generator 19 and the ternary heat exchanger 13 respectively. The exhaust gas entering generator 19 serves as a driving heat source, heating the internal lithium bromide aqueous solution, causing the lithium bromide aqueous solution to release water vapor and transform into a concentrated lithium bromide solution. The water vapor enters condenser 26 and condenses into liquid. After being throttled and depressurized by the first expansion valve 21, it enters evaporator 24. The liquid water absorbs heat and evaporates in evaporator 24 to form water vapor, providing cooling for users. The water vapor obtained after the liquid water absorbs heat and evaporates enters absorber 23. At the same time, the concentrated lithium bromide solution in generator 19 enters heat exchanger 20. After heat exchange and temperature increase in heat exchanger 20, the concentrated lithium bromide solution is throttled by second expansion valve 25 and enters absorber 23. After absorbing water vapor in absorber 23, it reforms into a dilute lithium bromide solution, i.e., lithium bromide aqueous solution. The dilute lithium bromide solution is pressurized by second booster pump 28 and then enters heat exchanger 20 for heat exchange and temperature reduction before entering generator 19, completing the absorption refrigeration cycle.
[0041] The exhaust gas entering the ternary heat exchanger 13 directly exchanges heat with the user-side heating medium to provide the user with the first stage of heating. At the same time, the exhaust gas discharged from the first outlet of the generator 19, which has released water vapor and completed the refrigeration drive, continues to enter the fifth heat exchanger 15 to exchange heat with the user-side heating medium for the second time, realizing the reuse of the low-grade waste heat after refrigeration and providing the user with the second stage of heating. Finally, the exhaust gas after two heat exchanges is discharged into the atmosphere, realizing the cascade recovery and efficient utilization of the waste heat of the exhaust gas.
[0042] When the system is operating normally, i.e., when solar energy supply is sufficient, the first control valve 18 is closed, and the seventh heat exchanger 17 does not operate; only the first heat exchanger 8 operates. When sunlight is insufficient, the first control valve 18 is opened, the seventh heat exchanger 17 starts operating, and the first heat exchanger 8 stops operating. The biomass gas, cooled by heat exchange with the second heat exchanger 11, enters the seventh heat exchanger 17 to exchange heat with the circulating water, preheating the circulating water.
[0043] The biomass indirect combustion gas turbine energy comprehensive utilization system and method of the present invention has the following other advantages: First, by setting up a heat storage body between biomass gas and a high-temperature heat exchanger, the present invention utilizes its thermal inertia to smooth out peak and valley fluctuations in flue gas temperature generated by biomass combustion, and transforms unstable combustion heat into a constant-temperature heat source. This not only fundamentally eliminates the damage to the high-temperature heat exchanger caused by alternating thermal stress and extends the life of key equipment, but also ensures the constant temperature of the gas turbine inlet and guarantees the stability of the generator set's output power.
[0044] Secondly, this invention utilizes solar energy or low-grade waste heat to heat circulating water, which then humidifies compressed air in a spray tower, transforming the circulating working fluid from dry air with low specific heat capacity to humid air with high specific heat capacity. This process utilizes the latent heat of vaporization of water to absorb low-grade heat energy, significantly increasing the mass flow rate of the working fluid through the turbine without increasing compressor power consumption. This breaks through the efficiency bottleneck of traditional air circulation and achieves deep thermodynamic coupling between solar energy and biomass energy.
[0045] Third, this invention constructs a full-temperature-range energy cascade utilization system, realizing combined cooling, heating, and power generation. The system uses the high-grade heat energy generated by biomass combustion to drive turbine power generation, the high-quality exhaust gas from the turbine to drive absorption chiller units for cooling, and the low-temperature exhaust gas to be further used for domestic hot water or heating. Compared with a single power generation mode, this full-temperature-range energy cascade utilization method greatly improves the overall energy utilization rate of the system and significantly reduces the overall energy cost for users.
[0046] Fourth, the system of the present invention adopts an indirect combustion architecture, which physically isolates the combustion flue gas from the turbine working fluid through a high-temperature heat exchanger, completely avoiding the direct entry of biomass ash and tar into the turbine, preventing blade scaling and corrosion, and effectively solving the corrosion and wear problems of biomass fuel.
[0047] Fifth, this invention possesses flexible multi-mode operation capabilities and strong environmental adaptability. The system is designed with a complementary heating circuit of solar thermal collection and flue gas waste heat. When there is sufficient sunlight, solar energy is used to improve efficiency, while in the absence of sunlight or on cloudy or rainy days, flue gas waste heat is used to maintain humid air circulation. This all-weather operation mechanism allows the system to operate independently of specific weather conditions, making it widely applicable in distributed energy scenarios such as rural waste treatment and multi-energy complementarity in industrial parks, demonstrating broad application value.
