Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of distributed energy and multi-energy complementarity technology, and in particular to a SOFC combined cooling, heating and power system that couples solar energy with biomass gasification and chemical looping combustion. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for distributed energy, the need for efficient and stable combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) systems is growing in scenarios such as industrial parks and building complexes. Solar energy is intermittent and fluctuates, and while biomass is renewable and can be stored, its direct combustion has limited energy efficiency and is difficult to control emissions. Therefore, CCHP based on biomass gasification syngas has attracted attention.

[0003] In existing biomass gasification processes, gasifying agents such as water / steam are typically introduced to regulate the reaction and syngas composition. However, when the gasifying agent temperature is too low, it can easily lead to increased heat demand, fluctuations in syngas quality, and a decrease in partial load efficiency. Therefore, electric heating or supplementary combustion is often required to raise the temperature, increasing energy consumption and carbon emissions. At the same time, solar thermal utilization is often insufficiently coupled with the gasifying agent preheating process, making it difficult to achieve efficient utilization within the system.

[0004] Furthermore, the anode exhaust gas of solid oxide fuel cells typically undergoes oxidation and heat release via an afterburner or catalytic burner. This type of afterburner heat release process lacks controllability and temperature matching, making it difficult to achieve efficient cascade utilization with downstream power cycles and waste heat recovery units, thus affecting the stability and overall efficiency of the combined heat and power (CHP) output. In summary, there is an urgent need for a CHP system that can utilize solar energy to preheat the gasifying agent and replace the fuel cell afterburner with a controllable heat release unit, thereby improving heat source matching and cascade utilization.

[0034] System working process:

[0035] During system operation, external water is first heated by a water pump (101) and then enters a heat exchanger (102). It then enters a parabolic trough solar collector (103) for further heating, gasification, and superheating. The heated medium is then distributed by a distributor (104) and enters the gasifying agent inlet of the biomass gasifier (107) and the steam inlet of the biomass pyrolysis furnace (106), respectively. The biomass is dried by a dryer (105) and then enters the pyrolysis furnace (106). The pyrolysis product stream enters the gasifier (107) to generate syngas. The syngas then flows from... After being discharged from the gasifier (107), the gas enters the gas-solid separator (108) to separate the entrained solid particles. The clean syngas is drawn out from the gas phase outlet of the gas-solid separator (108) and sent to the anode side of the solid oxide fuel cell stack (204). The external air is pressurized by the air compressor (202) and preheated by the regenerator (203) before entering the cathode side of the solid oxide fuel cell stack (204). The electrical energy output by the solid oxide fuel cell stack (204) is connected to the grid or supplied to the load via the inverter (205).

[0036] After the electrochemical reaction, the oxygen-deficient air on the cathode side of the solid oxide fuel cell stack (204) is discharged from the cathode exhaust port of the solid oxide fuel cell stack (204), flows through the hot side of the regenerator (203), heats the air from the air compressor (202), cools itself, and then enters the air expander (201) to expand and do work, recovering some energy. Finally, it enters the hot side of the heat exchanger (102) to preheat the water from the water source, and then is discharged into the atmosphere. The tail gas from the anode of the solid oxide fuel cell stack (204) enters the fuel reactor (403) and undergoes a reduction reaction with the oxygen carrier from the air reactor (404). The reduced oxygen carrier is transported to the air reactor (404). The external air is pressurized by the air compressor (405) and preheated by the cold side of the air heat exchanger (406) before entering the air reactor (404). In the air reactor (404), the reduced oxygen carrier reacts with oxygen in the air to regenerate the oxidized oxygen carrier and release heat. The oxygen-deficient air produced after the reaction is discharged from the air reactor (404). The exhaust gas from the fuel reactor (403) enters the mixed gas turbine (401) to expand and do work. The high-temperature oxygen-deficient air discharged from the air reactor (404) passes through the hot side of the air heat exchanger (406) to heat the air from the air compressor (405) and then enters the air turbine (402) to expand and do work. The exhaust gas from the mixed gas turbine (401) and the air turbine (402) still have a high temperature. They serve as two heat sources and enter the first and second inlets of the heat source side of the main heat exchanger (307) to provide heat source side input for the supercritical carbon dioxide power cycle subsystem (3).

[0037] The supercritical carbon dioxide power cycle subsystem (3) uses carbon dioxide as the circulating working fluid. The low-temperature, low-pressure carbon dioxide working fluid is cooled by the precooler (301) and then compressed to a supercritical state by the main compressor (302). The high-pressure carbon dioxide working fluid is divided into two streams by the carbon dioxide splitter (304): one stream flows through the cold side of the low-temperature regenerator (303) to absorb heat; the other stream directly enters another passage on the cold side of the high-temperature regenerator (306). After the two streams are mixed in the carbon dioxide confluencer (305), they enter the main heat exchanger (307) and are heated to the designed high-temperature and high-pressure state by the two high-temperature exhausts from the chemical loop combustion subsystem (4). The high-temperature and high-pressure supercritical carbon dioxide then enters the carbon dioxide expander (308) to expand and do work. After doing work, the carbon dioxide becomes a medium-temperature and medium-pressure state and flows through the hot side of the low-temperature regenerator (303) and the precooler (301) in sequence, transferring heat to the working fluid at the outlet of the main compressor and the external cooling medium, while being cooled itself, completing a closed loop. The heat source from the chemical loop combustion subsystem (4) (i.e., the exhaust gas from the mixed gas turbine 401 and the air turbine 402) releases heat in the main heat exchanger (307), and its temperature decreases, but there is still usable medium-low temperature waste heat. After these two fluids are discharged from the heat source side outlet of the main heat exchanger (307), they enter the heat-side absorption chiller (501) of the high-temperature regenerator (306) to provide two waste heat inputs.

[0038] Two streams of waste heat fluid discharged from the hot side of the high-temperature regenerator 306 serve as the driving heat source for the absorption chiller (501), which supplies cooling to the cooling load pipeline at its cooling capacity output end. The heat source fluid discharged from the absorption chiller (501) is divided into two streams: the first stream enters the first passage on the heat source side of the heating heat exchanger (502), where it releases its remaining heat to the system's heat load before being discharged into the atmosphere through the exhaust pipe; the second stream enters the second passage on the heat source side of the heating heat exchanger (502), where it continues to release heat before entering the gas-liquid separator (503). In the gas-liquid separator (503), the gas phase (CO2) and the liquid phase (condensate) are separated. The gas phase is led out through the carbon dioxide collection pipe for subsequent compression, storage, or utilization; the liquid phase is discharged through the condensate discharge pipe.

[0039] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0040] 1) By deeply coupling the parabolic trough solar collector with the biomass gasification process, the gasifying agent / steam entering the gasifier and pyrolysis furnace is preheated directly, which effectively improves the grade of the gasifying agent, enhances the gasification reaction efficiency and syngas quality, and improves the system's adaptability and absorption capacity to solar energy fluctuations.

[0041] 2) The chemical loop combustion unit replaces the traditional fuel cell afterburner to perform flameless oxidation of SOFC anode exhaust gas. This process has controllable heat release and good temperature matching. After the exhaust gas and oxygen-deficient air drive the mixed gas turbine and air turbine to do work, it provides two stable and easily controllable high-grade heat sources for the downstream supercritical carbon dioxide power cycle, which greatly improves the level of high-grade heat recovery and utilization.

[0042] 3) A cascaded waste heat utilization chain of "main heat exchanger - high temperature regenerator - absorption chiller - heating heat exchanger" was constructed, realizing the energy cascade utilization from high-grade power generation to low-grade cooling / heating, which significantly improved the overall energy efficiency of the system.

[0043] 4) At the end of the system, the exhaust gas after waste heat utilization is separated by a gas-liquid separator, which realizes the separate export and collection of carbon dioxide and condensate, thereby improving the environmental protection and resource utilization rate of the system.
