Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of thermal power generation peak shaving technology, specifically involving a multi-dimensional comprehensive performance evaluation method, system, equipment and medium for thermal power storage combined system. Background Technology
[0002] Under the strategic goal of "dual carbon" (carbon diversification and energy conservation), the power system is accelerating its transition towards a higher proportion of renewable energy. However, wind and solar power are characterized by significant intermittency and volatility, leading to a continuous increase in grid peak-shaving pressure. As a stable supporting power source for the current power system, coal-fired power units are required to have stronger flexible adjustment capabilities to adapt to the rapid load changes brought about by the large-scale grid connection of new energy sources.
[0003] Molten salt thermal energy storage systems possess advantages such as large energy storage capacity, strong heat release stability, and efficient and controllable heat storage and release processes, and are considered an important technical approach to enhance the peak-shaving capacity of coal-fired power units. Its basic coupling mechanism is as follows: molten salt is heated for energy storage using waste heat or additional heating during low-load periods of the unit; during peak grid demand or rapid ramp-up phases, heat is released from the molten salt to the feedwater or steam system, enabling a rapid increase in unit load, thereby enhancing grid support capacity and system operational flexibility.
[0004] The operational performance of coal-fired power units coupled with molten salt thermal energy storage systems is influenced by a variety of factors, and their performance evaluation indicators typically include multiple dimensions such as heat storage and release capacity, peak-shaving performance, load response rate, and thermal performance. However, existing research largely focuses on the performance analysis of the coupled system and the comparison of single indicators, lacking a comprehensive evaluation system oriented towards engineering selection that covers multiple performance characteristics. This makes it difficult to accurately determine the overall performance advantages and disadvantages of different coupling schemes in actual operation. Furthermore, existing research on coal-fired power units coupled with molten salt thermal energy storage systems is mostly based on static models established under steady-state conditions. The analysis of system performance mainly focuses on static characteristics such as thermal efficiency and thermal storage capacity, while paying insufficient attention to the dynamic performance exhibited by the system during actual operation. In particular, during unit load change operation and heat storage and release switching, the key dynamic indicator of the system's load change rate has not been fully modeled and quantified, resulting in evaluation results that fail to reflect the dynamic performance of the coupled system.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to construct a comprehensive performance evaluation system that takes into account both static and dynamic characteristics and covers multiple performance indicators, so as to objectively and scientifically rank the performance of various coupling schemes and select the optimal scheme.

[0032] The molten salt heat exchanger model describes the heat exchange process between molten salt and main steam, condensate, or feedwater. The enthalpy of the main steam, condensate, or feedwater after heat exchange is calculated based on the temperature change of the molten salt.

[0041] In most engineering practices, different coupling schemes often exhibit differences in peak-shaving capability, thermal performance, and energy utilization level. In such cases, directly comparing performance indicators is insufficient to provide a reasonable and comprehensive evaluation of the overall system performance. To fully leverage the performance advantages of the coupled system and balance multi-dimensional performance indicators, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive multi-dimensional performance evaluation. In step S3, First, subjective weighting is performed, and the specific steps are as follows: Establish a hierarchical structure. Based on the logical relationship between the evaluation objectives and the indicator system, construct a hierarchical model consisting of an "objective layer, criterion layer, and scheme layer." The objective layer represents the overall evaluation objective, namely, selecting the optimal heat storage and release coupling scheme; the indicator layer consists of the obtained evaluation indicators; and the scheme layer consists of different heat storage and release schemes for the coupling system to be evaluated.
[0042] Based on expert experience, the importance of each indicator at the same level relative to the target at the next higher level is compared pairwise, and a judgment matrix is constructed using the nine-level scaling method shown in Table 1. A : (37) In the formula: a ij Indicates the first i The performance index is relative to the first j The importance scale of each performance metric, and satisfies: (38) Table 1
[0043] Calculate the subjective weights. For the judgment matrix... A Perform eigenvalue decomposition and find its largest eigenvalue. l max The corresponding feature vectors are obtained, and the feature vectors are normalized to obtain the subjective weights of each indicator: (39) In the formula: oh AHP,j Indicates the first j Subjective weights of each evaluation indicator.
[0044] To ensure the rationality of the judgment matrix, a consistency check is performed. First, the consistency index is calculated: (40) Recalculate the consistency ratio: (41) In the formula: CI Indicates a consistency index; CR Indicates the consistency ratio; RI This represents a random consistency index. When... CR When the value is less than 0.1, the judgment matrix is considered to meet the consistency requirement, and the subjective weights are considered valid. RI The possible values are shown in Table 2: Table 2
[0045] Next, objective weighting is performed, and the specific steps are as follows: Calculate the evaluation index values for each coupling scheme, and construct the decision matrix accordingly: (42) In the formula: x ij Indicates the first i The evaluation object is in the first j The values for each indicator.
[0046] To eliminate the influence of dimensions, the data in the decision matrix is standardized: (43) In the formula: z ij The standardized decision matrix is represented by the first... i The evaluation object is in the first jThe values for each indicator are standardized to make the data from different indicators comparable, providing a unified data foundation for subsequent information entropy calculations.
[0047] Based on the standardized decision matrix, the information entropy of each indicator is calculated. First, the weight of each indicator under different evaluation objects is calculated. p ij : (44) Calculate the next Information entropy of each indicator e j : (45) Calculate the objective weight of each evaluation indicator based on its information entropy value. oh EWM : (46) Objective weights reflect the relative importance of each indicator based on the actual data distribution, avoiding the singular influence of subjective human factors on weight allocation.
[0048] Finally, the geometric mean method is used to combine subjective and objective weights to obtain the combined weight. oh mix : (47)
[0049] In step S4, after obtaining the final combined weights of each evaluation index, the TOPSIS method is used to achieve comprehensive ranking of each evaluation object and selection of the optimal solution. This method calculates the relative proximity of each evaluation object to the positive and negative ideal solutions, thus enabling comprehensive decision-making under multi-index conditions. The specific steps are as follows: Construct a weighted decision matrix. This is based on the standardized decision matrix constructed in step three and the combined weights of each evaluation indicator. oh mix The decision matrix is weighted to obtain the weighted decision matrix. V : (48) Based on the weighted decision matrix, construct the positive ideal solution respectively. V + and negative ideal solution V - A positive ideal solution represents the optimal combination of values for each indicator, while a negative ideal solution represents the worst combination of values for each indicator. (49) (50) (51) The Euclidean distance is used to calculate the distances between each coupled system and the positive and negative ideal solutions, respectively, to measure the relative position of the evaluation object with respect to the optimal and worst states in the multi-index space. The expressions for calculating the distances between each coupled system and the positive and negative ideal solutions are as follows: (52) (53) Based on the above distance results, the relative proximity of each evaluation object is calculated: (54) In the formula: C i The greater the relative proximity (∈[0,1]), the closer the coupling scheme is to the positive ideal solution, and the better its overall performance.
[0050] Comprehensive ranking and selection of the optimal solution. Based on the relative similarity of each evaluated object. C i Sort them. C i The coupling scheme with the largest value is determined as the optimal scheme, and the remaining coupling schemes are ranked accordingly, thus completing the comprehensive evaluation and decision-making under multiple index conditions.
[0051] To further illustrate the superiority of the multi-dimensional comprehensive performance evaluation method for the combined fire and energy storage system in this embodiment compared with existing methods, the following describes the scheme selection for a specific combined fire and energy storage system project.
[0052] The project is planned to include a 600MW coal-fired power unit and a 90MW thermal storage unit. The thermal storage medium is a ternary mixed nitrate HTS (53% KNO3-40% NaNO2-7% NaNO3).

[0054]
[0055] The performance indicators for each scheme are calculated and shown in the table below.
[0056]
[0057] 1. Key indicators for the thermal storage stage.
[0058] Peak shaving performance: As shown in the table above, the B1 scheme is the best, with a peak shaving capacity of 43.01MW and a peak shaving depth of 7.16%, which is significantly higher than B2 (30.74MW / 5.12%) and B3 (34.76MW / 5.8%). This is because the main steam can simultaneously affect the output of the high, medium and low pressure cylinders, resulting in a wider adjustment range.
[0059] Thermodynamic performance: Scheme B2 has the highest thermal efficiency (44.18%), while Scheme B1 has a thermal efficiency of 42.67% (due to the high energy grade of the main steam, resulting in slightly greater energy loss after extraction); In terms of thermal efficiency, Scheme B1 has 36.40%, which is higher than that of hot water storage, because molten salt has a high thermal density and low energy grade loss.
[0060] 2. Key indicators during the heat release phase.
[0061] Peak shaving performance: As shown in the table above, scheme b1 is the best, with a peak shaving capacity of 26.09MW and a peak shaving depth of 4.35%, which far exceeds b2 (25.42MW / 4.23%) and b3 (15.40MW / 2.56%). This is because the condensate inlet of #2 high-pressure heater is close to the boiler feedwater side, with high water temperature and sufficient water volume, which can reduce the steam extraction of the high-pressure heater and increase the turbine flow rate.
[0062] Thermodynamic performance: Scheme b1 has the best thermal efficiency (39.83%) and heat transfer efficiency (40.96%) among the three heat release schemes; Scheme b3 has the lowest thermal efficiency and heat transfer efficiency due to the low energy grade of the condensate added at the bottom and the large heat transfer loss.
[0063] 3. Comprehensive evaluation (TOPSIS method).
[0064] The scores for each candidate scheme are shown in the table below.
[0065]
[0066] The optimal coupling scheme is B1-b1 (main steam is the heat source, and the #2 high-pressure heater condensate inlet is the cold source), with a normalized score of 0.60. It has the best overall performance among the four indicators of peak-shaving capacity, peak-shaving depth, thermal efficiency, and thermal efficiency.
[0067] Scheme ranking: B1-b1 > B3-b3 > B2-b2. Although the thermal efficiency of scheme B1-b1 is slightly lower than that of B2 in the heat storage stage, it has a significant advantage in peak shaving capability and the best thermodynamic performance in the heat release stage, which meets the core needs of power grid peak shaving.
[0068] Therefore, the optimal application scheme for a 600MW coal-fired power unit coupled with a 90MW molten salt thermal storage system is the B1-b1 scheme (main steam thermal storage + #2 high-pressure heater condensate inlet heat release). This scheme performs best in terms of the comprehensive balance between peak-shaving capacity and thermodynamic performance, and can be the preferred choice for coal-fired power molten salt thermal storage peak-shaving projects.
[0069] The beneficial effects of the multi-dimensional comprehensive performance evaluation method for the combined fire and energy storage system in this embodiment include: 1. Establish a dynamic model of a coal-fired unit coupled with a molten salt thermal storage system. A unified model is constructed for the pulverizing system, boiler steam-water system, turbine system, regenerative system, and molten salt thermal storage system. This provides a mathematical basis for describing the dynamic behavior of the system during variable load operation and heat storage-release switching, thus laying the foundation for calculating dynamic performance indicators such as the variable load rate.
[0070] 2. At the same time, static and dynamic performance indicators are introduced to evaluate the coupled system. In addition to traditional static indicators such as thermal efficiency, heat efficiency, and heat storage and release capacity, dynamic indicators such as variable load rate, which reflect the system's rapid response capability, are further introduced so that the evaluation results can comprehensively reflect the overall performance characteristics of the coupled system in actual operation.
[0071] 3. Construct a comprehensive performance evaluation system covering multiple evaluation indicators. Systematically evaluate the comprehensive performance of different coal-fired units coupled with molten salt thermal energy storage schemes from multiple evaluation dimensions such as heat storage and release capacity, peak-shaving performance, dynamic response characteristics and thermal performance, so as to realize performance comparison and optimization under multiple scheme conditions.
[0072] 4. A weighting method combining subjective and objective approaches is adopted. The relative importance of each evaluation indicator is determined by introducing expert experience through the analytic hierarchy process. At the same time, the entropy weighting method is combined to objectively assign weights using the information characteristics of the indicator data itself. This effectively avoids the bias caused by a single subjective or objective weighting method and improves the scientificity and credibility of the comprehensive evaluation results.
[0073] This invention also provides a multi-dimensional comprehensive performance evaluation system for integrated fire-storage systems, employing the aforementioned multi-dimensional comprehensive performance evaluation method for integrated fire-storage systems. The multi-dimensional comprehensive performance evaluation system for integrated fire-storage systems includes: The model building module is used to build a model of a thermal power unit coupled with a molten salt thermal storage system. The index module is used to select and calculate performance evaluation indexes for coupled systems. The weighting module is used to perform subjective and objective weighting based on the analytic hierarchy process-entropy weighting method to obtain combined weights. The decision-making module is used to calculate the relative proximity of each evaluation object to the positive and negative ideal solutions using the TOPSIS method, thereby enabling comprehensive decision-making under multiple index conditions.
[0074] This invention also provides a computer device, including a processor and a storage medium, wherein the storage medium stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by the processor, it implements the aforementioned multi-dimensional comprehensive performance evaluation method for a combined fire and energy storage system.
[0075] This invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program thereon, which, when executed, implements the aforementioned multi-dimensional comprehensive performance evaluation method for combined fire and energy storage systems.
