Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of carbon dioxide energy storage for gas turbines, and specifically relates to a carbon dioxide energy storage efficiency improvement system coupled to a gas turbine and its working method. Background Technology
[0002] Gas turbine exhaust gas temperatures are high, and there are generally two ways to utilize them. One is for large gas turbines with large exhaust flow rates, where waste heat boilers are used to evaporate and superheat water, producing a large amount of high-temperature, high-pressure steam to drive the turbine for power generation again, i.e., gas-steam combined cycle. The other is for micro gas turbines with small exhaust flow rates, where high-temperature flue gas is used to exchange heat with water using waste heat boilers or flue gas heat exchangers for direct heating or to meet other process heat requirements, or it can enter lithium bromide units for cooling.
[0003] With the development of energy storage technology, compressed carbon dioxide (CCCO) energy storage technology is gradually being widely used due to its high safety, long system life, and easy expansion capabilities. One of the key factors limiting the electro-electric efficiency of CCCO energy storage is the thermal storage system. When the system stores energy, carbon dioxide gas is compressed into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas. The heat is then exchanged with water through the thermal storage system and stored in a hot water tank. When the system releases energy, the heat stored in the thermal storage system is transferred back to the carbon dioxide, which then enters the turbine expander to generate electricity. If the charging and discharging interval is long, the heat loss in the thermal storage system gradually increases, thus reducing the electro-electric efficiency of the CCCO energy storage system. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a carbon dioxide energy storage efficiency improvement system coupled with a gas turbine and its operating method. The aim is to solve the problem of large losses in conventional compressed carbon dioxide thermal storage systems and significantly reduce the electrical-electric efficiency of compressed carbon dioxide energy storage systems.
[0005] To achieve the objectives of this invention, the following technical solution is adopted: A carbon dioxide energy storage efficiency improvement system coupled with a gas turbine includes an energy storage structure of a compressed carbon dioxide energy storage system and an energy release structure of a compressed carbon dioxide energy storage system. The energy storage structure includes a carbon dioxide gas chamber 1, a compressor low-pressure cylinder 2, a compressor high-pressure cylinder 3, an electric motor 4, a medium-pressure water system I 12, a medium-pressure water system II 13, a medium-pressure water system III 14, a compressor interstage cooler 15, a compressor aftercooler 16, a condenser 17, a liquid tank 18, a medium-pressure water system IV 19, a medium-pressure water system V 20, a gas turbine 22, a flue gas type lithium bromide unit 23, a flue gas type lithium bromide unit inlet flue gas pipe 26, a flue gas type lithium bromide unit outlet flue gas pipe 27, a cooling water return pipe 28, a cooling water supply pipe 29, a switch valve I 32, a switch valve II 33, a gaseous carbon dioxide pipe II 35, and a generator II 36. The energy release structure includes a carbon dioxide gas chamber 1, a generator I 5, a turbine low-pressure cylinder 6, a turbine high-pressure cylinder 7, a reheater 8, a flue gas heat exchanger 9, a superheater 10, an evaporator 11, a medium-pressure water system I 12, a medium-pressure water system II 13, a medium-pressure water system III 14, a liquid tank 18, a medium-pressure water system IV 19, a medium-pressure water system V 20, a liquid pump 21, a gas turbine 22, a liquid carbon dioxide pipeline I 24, a saturated gaseous carbon dioxide pipeline 25, a flue gas pipeline, a flue gas heat exchanger inlet pipeline 30, a flue gas heat exchanger outlet pipeline 31, a switch valve I 32, a switch valve II 33, a gaseous carbon dioxide pipeline 34, and a generator II 36.
[0006] The working method of the carbon dioxide energy storage efficiency improvement system coupled with a gas turbine provided by this invention: During energy storage operation, the compressor in the compressed carbon dioxide energy storage system compresses the room-temperature gaseous carbon dioxide gas in the carbon dioxide chamber to obtain high-temperature and high-pressure carbon dioxide gas, which exchanges heat with the cold water in the thermal storage system. The medium-temperature water obtained after the heat exchange is stored in the thermal storage system. At the same time, the high-temperature flue gas from the gas turbine directly enters the flue gas type lithium bromide unit. The high-temperature flue gas provides a heat source for the flue gas type lithium bromide unit to achieve cooling, and the carbon dioxide gas after heat exchange is cooled a second time, finally obtaining room-temperature and high-pressure liquid carbon dioxide, which is stored and will be utilized again during the energy release process. During the energy release operation, the medium-temperature water in the thermal storage system heats the room-temperature, high-pressure liquid carbon dioxide to high-temperature, high-pressure carbon dioxide gas. At the same time, the high-temperature flue gas from the gas turbine no longer enters the lithium bromide unit, but directly enters the compressed carbon dioxide energy storage system, further heating the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous carbon dioxide to an even higher temperature. It then passes through the turbine expander to generate electricity. The exhaust carbon dioxide gas after power generation enters the carbon dioxide gas chamber, realizing the cycle of energy storage and release in the entire compressed carbon dioxide energy storage system.

The specific heat capacity of carbon dioxide in this state is C. CO2 The condenser heat exchange efficiency is η1'; The heat exchange capacity of the condenser, Q3, is calculated as follows: Q3 = C w ×q2×(T4-T3; Since the cooling capacity of the flue gas type lithium bromide unit is the same as the heat exchange capacity of the condenser, Q2=Q3; We obtain Q3×η1'=C CO2 ×q3×(T5-T6; By adjusting the gas turbine load to change the cooling capacity Q2 of the flue gas-type lithium bromide unit, it is made to match the cooling capacity required for carbon dioxide cooling, i.e., satisfying Q3×η1'=Q2×η1=C. CO2 ×q3×(T5-T6; (4) During the energy release operation, the carbon dioxide gas in the conventional compressed carbon dioxide energy storage system is heated by the superheater.

The calculated power output of the motor connected to the high-pressure cylinder of the compressed carbon dioxide energy storage system after efficiency improvement is: E4 = ((H3-H2)×q4-W)×η2; At this point, the total power generation of the improved compressed carbon dioxide energy storage system is: E' = E3 + E4; The improved electro-to-electric conversion efficiency of the compressed carbon dioxide energy storage system is η5 = E' ÷ P × 100%.

[0019] Example 4 The working method of the carbon dioxide energy storage efficiency improvement system coupled with a gas turbine provided by the present invention, taking a certain compressed carbon dioxide energy storage system as an example, is calculated using the formula provided by the present invention as follows: The gas turbine is a 15MW-class gas turbine with a rated power of 14240kW, a flue gas temperature of 482.5℃, a flue gas flow rate of 198000kg / h, and a flue gas temperature of 150℃ after heat exchange in the flue gas heat exchanger.
[0020] When operating under energy storage conditions, if the gas turbine is running at its rated load, the cooling capacity of the lithium bromide unit is slightly greater than the required cooling capacity. Therefore, the gas turbine needs to reduce its power. At this time, the cooling capacity of the flue gas type lithium bromide unit is about 15673kW, the supply water temperature is 7℃, the return water temperature is 12℃, and the flow rate is 683.7kg / s, which can meet the cooling requirements. Compared with conventional process cooling water systems, the cooling effect is better, the required water volume is less, and the complexity of the system is greatly reduced.
[0021] During the energy release operation, the temperature of the carbon dioxide gas in the pre-efficiency compressed carbon dioxide energy storage system after being heated by the superheater (i.e. entering the turbine high-pressure cylinder inlet) is 181℃, the flow rate is 402.2kg / s, the pressure is 6.27MPa, the exhaust pressure of the turbine high-pressure cylinder is 1.02MPa, and the exhaust temperature is 51.96℃.
[0022] The carbon dioxide gas, after being heated by the reheater (i.e., at the inlet of the turbine low-pressure cylinder), has a temperature of 180℃, a flow rate of 402.2 kg / s, and a pressure of 0.93 MPa. The exhaust pressure of the turbine low-pressure cylinder is 0.092 MPa, and the exhaust temperature is 32.42℃.
[0023] After deducting mechanical losses and motor losses, the electrical power of the compressed carbon dioxide energy storage system before the efficiency improvement was approximately 93,022 kW.
[0024] After the efficiency improvement, the temperature of the carbon dioxide gas in the compressed carbon dioxide energy storage system after being heated by the superheater (i.e. entering the turbine high-pressure cylinder inlet) is 220℃, the flow rate is 402.2kg / s, and the pressure is 6.27MPa. The exhaust pressure of the turbine high-pressure cylinder is 1.02MPa, and the exhaust temperature is 85.43℃. The inlet and outlet parameters of the turbine low-pressure cylinder are the same as before the efficiency improvement.
[0025] After deducting mechanical losses and motor losses, the electrical power of the compressed carbon dioxide energy storage system before the efficiency improvement was approximately 97,695 kW.
[0026] The compressor power was 152245kW before and after the efficiency improvement. Before the efficiency improvement, the electro-to-electric conversion efficiency of the compressed carbon dioxide energy storage system was 61.1%; after the efficiency improvement, the electro-to-electric conversion efficiency of the compressed carbon dioxide energy storage system was 64.2%.
[0027] As can be seen from this embodiment, the working method of the carbon dioxide energy storage efficiency improvement system coupled with gas turbine provided by the present invention can improve the electro-electric conversion efficiency of the compressed carbon dioxide energy storage system by about 3.1%, and has very good economic benefits while improving the system cycle efficiency.
