[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution:

[0005] A high-temperature thermal energy storage power generation peak-shaving and frequency regulation system includes a power generation system, a first thermal energy storage and heat exchange system, and a second thermal energy storage and heat exchange system. The power generation system includes a generator and, in sequence, a water supply device, a steam generator, a superheater, a steam turbine, and a condenser.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-temperature thermal energy storage power generation peak shaving and frequency regulation system to solve the problems existing in the prior art. It can convert surplus electrical energy into thermal energy for storage, and when frequency regulation and peak shaving are required, it can use the stored thermal energy to drive the steam turbine unit to generate electricity, providing the power grid with rotational inertia and primary frequency regulation capability, thereby realizing peak shaving and valley filling.

[0024] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a high-temperature thermal storage power generation peak shaving and frequency regulation system, including a power generation system, a first thermal storage and heat exchange system and a second thermal storage and heat exchange system.

[0026] The main function of the power generation system is to complete the steam-water cycle and use the steam to drive the turbine 5 to generate electricity and connect it to the grid. Specifically, the power generation system includes a generator 6 and a water supply device, a steam generator 2, a superheater 3, a turbine 5, and a condenser 7 connected in sequence. The power output end of the turbine 5 is connected to the power input end of the generator 6, and the power output end of the generator 6 is connected to the high-voltage power grid. The water supply device is used to provide a stable water source to the steam generator 2 during the peak-shaving and frequency regulation system startup time. To ensure water quality and temperature, the water supply device includes a water treatment unit (e.g., a filter membrane device) and a temperature control unit (e.g., a water temperature controller). The filter membrane device and the water temperature controller are commonly used devices in this field, and their specific structures will not be described in detail in this embodiment. The steam generator 2 is a saturated boiler used to convert superheated water into saturated steam. After saturated steam flows into superheater 3, it is further heated, becoming high-temperature, high-pressure superheated steam, which then flows into turbine 5, driving turbine 5 to perform work. Simultaneously, turbine 5 drives generator 6 to generate electricity, which is then fed into the high-voltage power grid via transformer 16. The steam discharged from turbine 5 enters condenser 7, where it is completely condensed. The condensate can be used by steam generator 2 or for other applications.

[0027] Both the first and second thermal energy storage systems are used to convert surplus electrical energy into thermal energy for storage. During peak-shaving and frequency regulation, this thermal energy is released to drive the steam turbine 5 to generate electricity. Specifically, the first thermal energy storage system includes a first electric heater, a first thermal energy storage device 8, a first circulating fan 10, and a first gas circulation pipeline. The first electric heater is connected to the power distribution network and is used to heat the first thermal energy storage device 8 for thermal energy storage. The first thermal energy storage device 8, the first circulating fan 10, and the steam generator 2 are all located on the first gas circulation pipeline. When the gas in the first gas circulation pipeline flows through the first thermal energy storage device 8, it absorbs heat from the device. The heated gas then exchanges heat with the subcooled water in the steam generator 2, heating the subcooled water into saturated steam.

[0028] The second thermal storage and heat exchange system includes a second electric heater, a second thermal storage device 9, a second circulating fan 11, and a second gas circulation pipeline. The second electric heater is connected to the power distribution network and is used to heat the second thermal storage device 9 for thermal storage. The second thermal storage device 9, the second circulating fan 11, and the steam generator 2 are all installed on the second gas circulation pipeline. When the gas in the second gas circulation pipeline flows through the second thermal storage device 9, it acquires heat from the second thermal storage device 9. The gas that has acquired heat then exchanges heat with the saturated steam in the superheater 3, heating the saturated steam into superheated steam.

[0029] Therefore, this embodiment, by setting up a first thermal energy storage and heat exchange system and a second thermal energy storage and heat exchange system, can convert surplus electrical energy (such as excess electrical energy generated at night) into thermal energy and store it in the first thermal energy storage device 8 and the second thermal energy storage device 9. When peak shaving and frequency regulation are required (such as when electricity consumption is high during the day), the thermal energy in the first thermal energy storage device 8 and the thermal energy in the second thermal energy storage device 9 are used to heat the subcooled water entering the steam heat exchanger and the saturated steam entering the superheater 3, respectively. Finally, the superheated steam drives the steam turbine 5 to do work and drives the generator 6 to generate electricity, providing the power grid with rotational inertia and primary frequency regulation capability, realizing peak shaving and valley filling. It can be widely used in the field of power system peak shaving and frequency regulation, such as new energy power plants and flexible transformation of thermal power plants.

[0030] It should be noted that the heat required to heat subcooled water into saturated steam is greater than the heat required to heat saturated steam into superheated steam. Therefore, during the design phase, the heat storage design of the first heat storage device 8, the selection of the first circulating fan 10, and the size of the first gas circulation pipeline all need to be reasonably selected based on the actual application environment.

[0031] As one implementation, in this embodiment, the first and second thermal storage heat exchange systems are basically the same except for the heating object of the heat-extracting gas. Both the first thermal storage device 8 and the second thermal storage device 9 are made of thermal storage material. In this embodiment, the thermal conductivity of the thermal storage material of the first thermal storage device 8 and the second thermal storage device 9 is greater than 50 W / (m·K). High thermal conductivity can enhance the heat transfer effect, accelerate the heat storage and release rate, shorten the start-up time of the steam turbine 5, and improve energy utilization. The first thermal storage device 8 and the second thermal storage device 9 have a high temperature resistance of not less than 800℃ and can provide industrial high-temperature steam of not less than 400℃~500℃. Specifically, in this embodiment, both the first thermal storage device 8 and the second thermal storage device 9 are made of iron. Structurally, both the first thermal storage device 8 and the second thermal storage device 9 are provided with heat extraction channels 13, such as... Figure 2 As shown; the heat extraction channel 13 is connected to either the first gas circulation pipeline or the second gas circulation pipeline. The heat extraction channel 13 is used to circulate heat exchange gas, allowing the gas to acquire the heat stored in the first heat storage device 8 and the second heat storage device 9.

[0032] In this embodiment, the gases in the first gas circulation pipeline and the second gas circulation pipeline are both inert gases.

[0033] In one embodiment, both the first electric heater and the second electric heater are electromagnetic induction heaters correspondingly installed within the first heat storage device 8 and the second heat storage device 9. Specifically, both the first heat storage device 8 and the second heat storage device 9 are provided with heat storage channels 14, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the electromagnetic induction heater is embedded in the heat storage channel 14 and heats the first heat storage device 8 and the second heat storage device 9 through the principle of electromagnetic induction to store thermal energy.

[0034] As one implementation, a desuperheater 4 is also provided between the superheater 3 and the turbine 5 to control the intake temperature of the turbine 5, ensuring that the temperature of the superheated steam flowing into the turbine 5 meets the requirements.

[0035] In one embodiment, the water supply device includes a water tank 1 for supplying water to the steam generator 2. The water tank 1 is positioned higher than the steam generator 2 and is used to replenish water to the steam generator 2. A water pump 12 is installed at the drain outlet of the condenser 7. The outlet of the water pump 12 is connected to the steam generator 2 and / or the water tank 1, and can discharge condensate into the water tank 1 for storage, or directly supply condensate into the steam generator 2 for replenishment.

[0036] As one implementation, the power distribution network is connected to the first thermal storage device 8 and the second thermal storage device 9 through an electric heating temperature controller 15. The electric heating temperature controller 15 can control the magnitude of the output energy storage heating current based on the temperature feedback of the first thermal storage device 8 and the second thermal storage device 9.

[0037] Any adaptive changes made according to actual needs are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0038] This utility model uses specific examples to illustrate its principles and implementation methods. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
