[0001] This invention relates to the field of boiler combustion power generation system technology, and in particular to a supercritical CO2 combustion power generation system that couples solar energy with carbon utilization and storage. Background Technology
[0002] Combining traditional coal with the photovoltaic industry is an effective solution and key link in achieving carbon neutrality. Solar energy fundamentally reduces carbon emissions and provides clean energy in the form of green hydrogen. As a new type of energy storage, it can solve the problem of the intermittency of renewable energy. The demonstration and application of traditional coal-solar thermal power generation is a key direction for the current development of diversified energy utilization, providing a new path for the coal-fired power generation industry to develop towards energy conservation and low carbon emissions. Several solar-coal complementary projects have been built or launched both domestically and internationally. However, some key issues in coal-solar thermal power generation still need to be resolved. Further research is needed on technologies such as the high-proportion coupling principle and design methods of solar thermal energy, system integration, control strategies, and flexible peak shaving of power plants.
[0003] Supercritical CO2-powered cycle coal-fired power generation systems possess advantages such as simple structure, compact components, and environmental friendliness. They are key technologies for improving system cycle efficiency and achieving energy conservation, and have significant scientific and practical value for the global coal-fired power generation industry in achieving carbon emission reduction targets. However, the establishment of novel industrial-scale supercritical CO2-powered cycle coal-fired power generation and solar power generation coupled systems remains a blank both domestically and internationally. The interaction laws and coupling methods between the two systems are still unclear.
[0004] Oxygen-enriched combustion technology is one of the most promising CO2 capture technologies for industrial application at present, and it has significant scientific and practical value for achieving carbon emission reduction targets in the global thermal power industry. Currently, the challenge facing the industrialization of oxygen-enriched combustion technology lies in how to reduce the energy consumption of air separation oxygen production units and further improve system economics. Developing oxygen-enriched combustion technology routes and adopting new oxygen production technologies are effective ways to reduce the energy consumption of carbon capture in oxygen-enriched combustion.
[0005] Carbon sequestration (CFS) technology is a key technology for achieving carbon neutrality. Combining traditional coal-fired power plants with CFS technologies to build a new industrial chain for thermal power presents an opportunity for transformation, upgrading, and a move towards a low-carbon future. Currently, research and development of coupled coal-fired power generation and CFS systems both domestically and internationally is mainly focused on laboratory exploration. Research primarily focuses on capturing CO2 after combustion and reusing it through novel chemical methods. Research on CFS systems focuses on the economic optimization of the system under given operating conditions, failing to consider the coupling relationship between the CFS system and upstream thermal power plants, and has not yet developed effective control methods and demonstration applications for the overall coal-fired power plant-CFS system.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0059] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0060] This technical solution is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The diagram shows the modular structure of the entire system, which is clearly divided into four major functional modules: oxygen production module (a), supercritical CO2 power cycle oxygen-enriched combustion module (b), solar photovoltaic power generation module (c), and CO2 utilization and storage module (d). The modules work together through dedicated material conveying pipelines and energy transmission lines. The specific linkage relationships are as follows: The oxygen generation module (a) and the solar photovoltaic power generation module (c) work together to supply oxygen to the supercritical CO2 power cycle oxygen-enriched combustion module (b), providing a stable oxygen source for the oxygen-enriched combustion reaction of the module. The CO2 produced by the solar photovoltaic power generation module (c) and the supercritical CO2 power cycle oxygen-enriched combustion module (b) is jointly transported to the CO2 utilization and storage module (d) for resource utilization and geological storage of CO2. The electrical energy generated by the supercritical CO2 power cycle oxygen-enriched combustion module (b) and the solar photovoltaic power generation module (c) is partly transmitted between the two modules to ensure their stable operation, partly sent to the CO2 utilization and storage module (d) to provide power for its operation, and the other part is sent to the power grid 17 to achieve grid-connected power supply.

Through processes such as air compression, precooling, purification, distillation, low-temperature separation, product purification and pressurization, it continuously produces high-purity O2. It has the characteristics of high oxygen purity, stable output and suitability for large-scale oxygen supply. During operation, the air compressor of the cryogenic oxygen production unit 8 compresses ambient air to 0.7 MPa, cools it to 10°C via a precooler, then removes impurities such as moisture and carbon dioxide through molecular sieve purification, and finally cools it to -170°C via plate heat exchanger 15.
