The primary side of the first refrigeration heat exchanger 11 is provided on the LNG pipeline. The LNG vaporizer 2 is a seawater open-frame vaporizer or a submerged combustion vaporizer, and the fuel cell 4 is a natural gas solid oxide fuel cell.
[0016] The above arrangement forms a coupled energy supply system based on LNG and fuel cells with a simple structure, easy operation, good stability, and high safety. During operation, the gas supply unit can provide users with the required natural gas, and the power generation unit can provide users with the required electricity, forming a combined power supply system with coupled gas supply and power generation. Compared with the existing technology, by using BOG as the natural gas required for power generation by the fuel cell 4, the excess BOG is liquefied and incorporated into the gas supply unit. This not only solves the BOG discharge and treatment problem and ensures safety, but also reduces energy consumption by recovering the cold energy of LNG. In addition, the provision of a two-stage refrigeration circuit and the first throttle valve 5 and the second throttle valve 6 improves system stability. The specific process of system operation is as follows: after the system is started, the LNG in the LNG storage tank 1 enters the LNG vaporizer 2 through the LNG pipeline and the primary side of the first refrigeration heat exchanger 11, and after being gasified into natural gas, enters the downstream gas pipeline through the gas supply pipeline. The BOG generated by the LNG storage tank 1 enters the fuel cell 4 through the BOG pipeline, the primary side of the cooling heat exchanger 3 and the fuel pipeline, and the electricity generated by the fuel cell 4 is incorporated into the user's power grid; when the BOG generated by the LNG storage tank 1 is less than the natural gas required for power generation by the fuel cell 4, the opening of the first throttle valve 5 is adjusted to the maximum, and the opening of the second throttle valve 6 is adjusted to allow the natural gas in the gas supply pipeline to enter the fuel cell 4 through the natural gas pipeline to supplement the natural gas required for power generation; when the BOG generated by the LNG storage tank 1 is more than the natural gas required for power generation by the fuel cell 4, the opening of the first throttle valve 5 is reduced, the second throttle valve 6 is closed, and the first liquefaction compressor 7, the first refrigeration compressor 11 and the second refrigeration compressor 13 are started; the working medium 1 circulates in the primary refrigeration circuit, and when the working medium 1 flows through the first refrigeration heat exchanger 11 The cooling energy of LNG is absorbed and turned into low-temperature liquid. After flowing through the first expansion valve 12, the low-temperature liquid changes into low-temperature gas. When the low-temperature gaseous working medium 1 flows through the second refrigeration heat exchanger 14, it absorbs the heat of the working medium 2. After the working medium 1 absorbs heat and heats up, it enters the first refrigeration heat exchanger 11 after being pressurized by the first refrigeration compressor 10. The working medium 2 circulates in the secondary refrigeration circuit. When the working medium 2 flows through the second refrigeration heat exchanger 14, it absorbs the cooling energy of the working medium 1 and turns into low-temperature liquid. After flowing through the second expansion valve 15, it changes into low-temperature gas. The low-temperature gaseous working medium 2 flows through The first liquefaction heat exchanger 8 absorbs the heat of the BOG. After absorbing the heat and heating the working medium 2, it is pressurized by the second refrigeration compressor 13 and then enters the second refrigeration heat exchanger 14. The BOG is pressurized by the first liquefaction compressor 7 and enters the first liquefaction heat exchanger 8. After absorbing the cold energy of the working medium 2 in the first liquefaction heat exchanger 8, the BOG is liquefied into a gas-liquid mixture. The gas-liquid mixture is separated by the first gas-liquid separator 9 to produce LNG and natural gas. The LNG produced by the separation process is added to the LNG pipeline, and the natural gas produced by the separation process is added to the BOG pipeline.It should be noted that the natural gas in this article refers specifically to gaseous natural gas, and BOG refers specifically to the gas formed by LNG evaporating in the storage tank due to heat absorption. BOG and natural gas should be understood as the same gaseous substance.
[0017] As an optimization solution, this specific embodiment provides a third throttle valve 16 on the gas phase pipeline one to facilitate control, and adds a second liquefaction compressor 17, a second liquefaction heat exchanger 18 and a second gas-liquid separator 19 to the liquefaction unit, wherein the inlet of the second liquefaction compressor 17 is connected to the gas phase pipeline one between the third throttle valve 16 and the first gas-liquid separator 9, and the two ports on the primary side of the second liquefaction heat exchanger 18 are correspondingly connected to the outlet of the second liquefaction compressor 17 and the inlet of the second gas-liquid separator 19. The secondary side of the second liquefaction heat exchanger 18 is arranged on the secondary refrigeration circuit between the second refrigeration compressor 13 and the second expansion valve 15. The liquid phase outlet of the second gas-liquid separator 19 is connected to the LNG pipeline, and the gas phase outlet of the second gas-liquid separator 19 is connected to the BOG pipeline between the cooling heat exchanger 3 and the first throttle valve 5 through the gas phase pipeline two. This structure forms a two-stage liquefaction pipeline by adding a second liquefaction compressor 17, a second liquefaction heat exchanger 18, and a second gas-liquid separator 19, and cooperating with a first-stage liquefaction pipeline composed of a first liquefaction compressor 7, a first liquefaction heat exchanger 8, and a first gas-liquid separator 9. This not only improves the liquefaction effect but also enhances the stability of the system. In actual application, the utility model sets a high-pressure pump 20 on the LNG pipeline between the LNG storage tank 1 and the first refrigeration heat exchanger 11 to control the delivery of LNG, and the connection points of the liquid phase outlets of the first gas-liquid separator 9 and the second gas-liquid separator 19 with the LNG pipeline are both located between the high-pressure pump 20 and the LNG storage tank 1 to prevent LNG from flowing back into the first gas-liquid separator 9 and the second gas-liquid separator 19; and a fourth throttle valve 21 is set on the gas phase pipeline 2 to improve the convenience of control. At the same time, the utility model allows the user's power intranet to be connected to the first liquefaction compressor 7, the first refrigeration compressor 10, the second refrigeration compressor 13, the second liquefaction compressor 17 and the high-pressure pump 20 through cables, so as to provide the power required for the operation of each device through the user's power intranet.
[0018] As a specific implementation method, to facilitate technical personnel's understanding, the functions of each heat exchanger in the coupled energy supply system are briefly described below: the cooling heat exchanger 3 is used to perform heat exchange on the cooling water and natural gas flowing through it, the first liquefaction heat exchanger 8 and the second liquefaction heat exchanger 18 are respectively used to perform heat exchange on the natural gas and working medium 2 flowing through it, the first refrigeration heat exchanger 11 is used to perform heat exchange on the LNG and working medium 1 flowing through it, and the second refrigeration heat exchanger 14 is used to perform heat exchange on the working medium 1 and working medium 2 flowing through it, wherein working medium 1 refers to the working medium that circulates and transfers energy in the primary refrigeration circuit, and working medium 2 refers to the working medium that circulates and transfers energy in the secondary refrigeration circuit.
[0019] To facilitate understanding by technicians, the following briefly describes the operation process of the coupled energy supply system, which includes the following steps:
[0020] S1. Start the high-pressure pump 20. The LNG in the LNG storage tank 1 enters the LNG vaporizer 2 through the LNG pipeline and the primary side of the first refrigeration heat exchanger 11. After being vaporized into natural gas, it enters the downstream gas pipeline through the gas supply pipeline. The BOG generated in the LNG storage tank 1 enters the fuel cell 4 through the BOG pipeline, the primary side of the cooling heat exchanger 3, and the fuel pipeline. The electricity generated by the fuel cell 4 is incorporated into the user's power grid.
[0021] S2. When the BOG produced by the LNG storage tank 1 is less than the natural gas required for the fuel cell 4 to generate electricity, the opening of the first throttle valve 5 is adjusted to the maximum, and the opening of the second throttle valve 6 is adjusted to allow the natural gas in the gas supply pipeline to enter the fuel cell 4 through the natural gas pipeline to supplement the natural gas required for power generation.
[0022] S3. When the BOG generated by the LNG storage tank 1 is more than the natural gas required for power generation by the fuel cell 4, the opening of the first throttle valve 5 is reduced, the second throttle valve 6 is closed, and the first liquefaction compressor 7, the second liquefaction compressor 17, the first refrigeration compressor 10 and the second refrigeration compressor 13 are started.
[0023] S3. Working medium 1 circulates in the primary refrigeration circuit. When flowing through the first refrigeration heat exchanger 11, working medium 1 absorbs the cold energy of LNG and becomes a low-temperature liquid. After flowing through the first expansion valve 12, it changes from a low-temperature liquid to a low-temperature gas. When flowing through the second refrigeration heat exchanger 14, the low-temperature gaseous working medium 1 absorbs the heat of working medium 2. After absorbing heat and heating up, the working medium 1 is pressurized by the first refrigeration compressor 10 and then enters the first refrigeration heat exchanger 11.
[0024] S4. The working medium 2 circulates in the secondary refrigeration circuit. When the working medium 2 flows through the second refrigeration heat exchanger 14, it absorbs the cold energy of the working medium 1 and becomes a low-temperature liquid. After flowing through the second expansion valve 15, it changes from a low-temperature liquid to a low-temperature gas. When the low-temperature gaseous working medium 2 flows through the first liquefied heat exchanger 8 and the second liquefied heat exchanger 18, it absorbs the heat of the natural gas. After absorbing heat and heating up, the working medium 2 is pressurized by the second refrigeration compressor 13 and then enters the second refrigeration heat exchanger 14.
[0025] S5. After being pressurized by the first liquefaction compressor 7, the BOG enters the first liquefaction heat exchanger 8. The BOG absorbs the cold energy of the second working medium in the first liquefaction heat exchanger 8 and liquefies to form a gas-liquid mixture. The gas-liquid mixture undergoes a primary separation in the first gas-liquid separator 9 to produce LNG and natural gas. The LNG produced by the primary separation is fed into the LNG pipeline. Part of the natural gas produced by the primary separation is fed into the BOG pipeline, and part of the natural gas is pressurized by the second liquefaction compressor 17 and enters the second liquefaction heat exchanger 18. The natural gas absorbs the cold energy of the second working medium in the second liquefaction heat exchanger 18 and liquefies to form a gas-liquid mixture. The gas-liquid mixture undergoes a secondary separation in the second gas-liquid separator 19 to produce LNG and natural gas. The LNG produced by the secondary separation is fed into the LNG pipeline, and the natural gas produced by the secondary separation is fed into the BOG pipeline.
