Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solar thermal energy storage technology, and in particular to a method and system for controlling solar flux recovery through solar molten salt freezing. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of solar thermal energy storage technology, molten salt, as the core heat transfer and energy storage medium, is prone to residue formation and freezing during the evacuation process of solar field pipelines. Existing technologies for controlling solar flux recovery from molten salt freezing lack the ability to perform fluid-solid topology mapping analysis on pipeline spatial topology data, making it impossible to accurately obtain molten salt residue site maps. The deduction of the molten salt solidification phase change process relies solely on conventional temperature monitoring data, making it difficult to accurately locate the solidification spatiotemporal origin and dynamically track the solid phase expansion trajectory. This results in a lack of scientific temporal evolution data to support the definition of heating sections, causing a mismatch between the solar flux delivery sections and the actual molten salt freezing situation, leading to low overall efficiency in molten salt freezing recovery.

[0003] Existing methods for controlling solar flux in molten salt freezing and recovery lack a complete thermo-mechanical coupling analytical system. During the process of heating molten salt with solar flux, it is impossible to accurately obtain transient thermal stress field distribution data of the controlled heating section of the pipeline, and there is no point-by-point comparison mechanism for stress gradient constraint thresholds. The adjustment of heating parameters lacks real-time stress data guidance, which can easily lead to situations where the local heating flux is too high or too low. This may damage the solar field pipeline structure due to excessive thermal stress and result in incomplete melting of residual molten salt. At the same time, the focusing control of solar flux lacks precise coding of multi-mirror collaboration, which further reduces the utilization efficiency of solar flux and the stability of molten salt freezing and recovery. Therefore, how to improve the control efficiency of solar flux in solar molten salt freezing and recovery has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0067] The stress values ​​at each spatial point in the stress amplitude are compared with the preset stress gradient constraint threshold to identify all spatial points whose stress values ​​exceed the preset threshold. The specific spatial coordinate information of these over-limit points is recorded. The coordinate information of all over-limit points is integrated according to the spatial distribution characteristics of the controlled heating section to finally obtain the spatial distribution of over-limit points in the transient thermal stress field distribution data.

[0068] Based on the spatial coordinate information of all the stress hotspots in the spatial distribution of the stress hotspots, the geometric center of the stress hotspot region formed by these stress hotspots is determined and the specific coordinates are marked. At the same time, the spatial boundary of the stress hotspot region is delineated to clarify the overall coverage. The centroid coordinates and spatial range information of the stress hotspots are recorded in full, and finally the centroid coordinates and spatial range of the stress hotspots in the controlled heating section are obtained.

[0069] Using the centroid coordinates of the stress hotspot as a reference point, the actual distance from all spatial points within the controlled heating section to this reference point is calculated point by point.

By integrating the relevant information of all molten salts that have completed the phase change, the phase change melting product of the residual molten salt in the controlled heating section is finally obtained.

[0075] The stress gradient constraint threshold is directly preset. The stress amplitude at spatial points is obtained by extracting the stress at spatial points from the transient thermal stress field distribution data. Specifically, the stress values ​​corresponding to each spatial point are extracted point by point according to the spatial coordinate system of the controlled heating section. The extracted stress values ​​are accurately correlated with the corresponding spatial points. The stress value information of all points is systematically organized. The distance weighting coefficient is directly preset.

[0077] When the stress value at a certain spatial point within the controlled heating zone increases, the energy receiving coefficient at that point decreases accordingly. When the distance from a certain spatial point within the controlled heating zone to the centroid of the stress hotspot increases, the energy receiving coefficient at that point decreases accordingly. When the stress gradient constraint threshold increases, the energy receiving coefficient at each spatial point within the controlled heating zone increases accordingly. When the distance weighting coefficient increases, the energy receiving coefficient at each spatial point within the controlled heating zone decreases accordingly. When the stress attenuation coefficient increases, the energy receiving coefficient at each spatial point within the controlled heating zone decreases accordingly.

[0078] The beneficial effects include the ability to accurately present the stress values ​​at each point in the controlled heating section by extracting the spatial stress amplitude, providing accurate data for identifying stress exceeding limits. The spatial distribution of stress exceeding limits clearly locates all stress-exceeding points, while the location of stress hotspots further clarifies the position and range of the core stress area, providing precise guidance for subsequent adjustments. Spatial distance and stress margin values ​​provide a basis for energy adjustment from the perspectives of distance and stress margin, and the energy receiving coefficient makes the energy receiving needs of each point clearer. Based on this reconstructed heat flow distribution scheme, the rational allocation of solar flux can be achieved, continuous heating ensures precise energy replenishment, and ultimately, the molten salt phase change state is confirmed and the phase change melting products are obtained. This not only enables real-time and precise adjustment of heating parameters, avoiding damage to the pipeline caused by stress exceeding limits, but also allows the residual molten salt to fully melt, improving the overall effect of molten salt freezing and recovery.

[0079] By clearly defining the sources and acquisition methods of each element, the determination process of the energy receiving coefficient is ensured to have clear basis and traceability, guaranteeing that the coefficient closely matches the actual operating conditions of the controlled heating section. The determination process of the energy receiving coefficient integrates multi-dimensional key information, accurately reflecting the energy receiving capacity of each spatial point within the section, providing solid quantitative support for the reconstruction of energy distribution, and thus laying the foundation for the precise formulation of heat flow allocation schemes. Clear coefficient change trends clearly demonstrate the influence of each element on the energy receiving coefficient, making the logic of heat flow allocation scheme formulation clearer, ultimately ensuring the accuracy of heating parameter adjustments. This avoids damage to the pipeline structure caused by excessive stress, achieves reasonable energy distribution and replenishment, and improves the efficiency and stability of molten salt freezing and recovery.
