Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biomass gasification technology, and more specifically to a biomass gasification integrated energy system that couples gasification power generation and steam heat pump. Background Technology
[0002] Biomass is a zero-carbon, renewable energy source and a green energy utilization technology that receives active support and encouragement from the state. Biomass gasification technology converts various biomass raw materials such as wood, straw, and rice husks into combustible gas through pyrolysis and gasification processes. This gas serves as the primary energy source for biomass gas boilers and power generation processes, meeting users' end-use energy needs.
[0003] In heating applications, biomass typically first enters a biomass gasifier to produce biomass gas, which is then burned in a boiler to generate steam to meet user requirements. Under this process, when the user's steam load decreases, the output of the biomass gasification system also decreases, leading to reduced system efficiency, underutilization of assets, and reduced system economics.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a combined heat and power system that can couple a gas generator set and a steam heat pump unit, and flexibly adjust the gas supply and power generation gas ratio according to changes in user steam load and electricity load, so as to improve the overall energy utilization efficiency, is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a biomass gasification integrated energy system that couples gas-fired power generation and steam heat pump. The system process couples a biomass gas boiler, a gas turbine generator set, a waste heat boiler, and a steam heat pump unit. The high-temperature steam generated by the biomass gas boiler, waste heat boiler, and steam heat pump unit together meets the user's steam demand. Part of the electricity generated by the gas turbine generator set provides power to the steam heat pump unit, and the remainder meets the user's electricity demand.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A biomass gasification integrated energy system coupling gas-fired power generation and steam heat pump includes:
[0008] Biomass gasification furnace,
[0009] A gas storage tank, the gas inlet of which is connected to the gas outlet of the biomass gasification furnace via a pipeline;
[0010] A biomass gas boiler, wherein the inlet end of the biomass gas boiler is connected to the outlet end of the lower end of the gas storage tank, and the outlet end delivers high-temperature steam to the user's heating system.
[0011] A gas turbine generator set, wherein the gas turbine generator set is connected to the gas outlet at the upper end of the gas storage tank through a pipeline to generate biomass gas and supply it to the user's power supply system;
[0012] A steam heat pump unit is electrically connected to the gas turbine generator set; the steam heat pump unit is connected to the biomass gasification furnace through pipelines to utilize waste heat to generate high-temperature steam and deliver it to the heating system.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the biomass gas produced by the biomass gasifier enters the gas storage tank. The gas with a high impurity content is located below the gas storage tank and enters the biomass gas boiler for secondary combustion. The biomass gas boiler generates high-temperature steam by burning the biomass gas and delivers it to the user's heating system. The gas with a low impurity content is located above the gas storage tank and enters the gas turbine generator set. The gas turbine generator set uses the biomass gas to generate electricity and delivers it to the user's power supply system. The steam heat pump unit is driven by the electricity generated by the gas turbine generator set, absorbs heat from the surrounding air and the waste heat from the biomass gasifier to generate high-temperature steam and delivers it to the user's heating system. This utility model couples the biomass gasifier, biomass gas boiler, gas turbine generator set, waste heat boiler, and steam heat pump unit to form a comprehensive energy system. The high-temperature steam generated by the biomass gas boiler, waste heat boiler, and steam heat pump unit jointly meets the user's steam demand. Part of the electricity generated by the gas turbine generator set provides power to the steam heat pump unit, and the remainder meets the user's electricity demand.
[0014] Preferably, the gas turbine generator set includes a gas turbine and a generator. The gas turbine is connected to the gas outlet at the top of the gas storage tank via a pipeline. The generator is driven by the gas turbine to generate electricity and supply it to the power supply system. The generator is electrically connected to the steam heat pump unit. The gas turbine uses the clean biomass gas at the top of the gas storage tank to drive the generator and generate electricity. Part of the electricity generated by the generator supplies the user's power supply system, and the other part provides a power source for driving the steam heat pump unit.
[0015] Preferably, the system also includes a waste heat boiler, which is connected to the exhaust port of the gas turbine to utilize the waste heat from the high-temperature flue gas to generate high-temperature steam and deliver it to the heating system. The waste heat boiler utilizes the waste heat from the exhaust gas of the gas turbine generator set to generate high-temperature steam, which is then delivered to the user.
[0016] Preferably, a gas compressor is fixed on the pipeline between the gas turbine and the gas storage tank. The gas compressor pressurizes the clean biomass gas above the gas storage tank to meet the combustion requirements of the gas turbine generator set.
[0017] Preferably, a cyclone dust collector is fixed on the pipeline between the biomass gasifier and the gas storage tank. The cyclone dust collector is used to remove particulate impurities from the biomass gas.
[0018] Preferably, a gas-fired fan is fixed on the pipeline between the cyclone dust collector and the biomass gasifier. The gas-fired fan draws the biomass gas from the biomass gasifier into the gas storage tank, improving system operating efficiency.
[0019] Preferably, the system also includes a cooling water pump, the inlet of which is connected to the biomass gasifier, and the outlet of which is connected to the steam heat pump unit. The steam heat pump unit is connected to the biomass gasifier via a water pipe. The cooling water from the biomass gasifier, at approximately 50°C, is pumped into the heat exchanger of the steam heat pump unit. After heat exchange, the temperature drops to approximately 20°C and flows back to the cooling water jacket of the biomass gasifier via the water pipe. The high-temperature steam generated by the steam heat pump unit is circulated to the user's heating system via the heat pump.
[0020] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, this utility model discloses a biomass gasification integrated energy system that couples gas-fired power generation and steam heat pump. It couples a biomass gasifier, a gas turbine generator set, a steam heat pump unit, and a biomass gas boiler. The biomass gas boiler, gas turbine generator set, and steam heat pump unit jointly meet the user's steam demand. The gas turbine generator set provides electricity to the steam heat pump unit, while the remaining electricity meets the user's electricity demand. Through the combination of heat and electricity, the ratio of gas supply and power generation can be flexibly adjusted according to changes in the user's steam load and electricity load, thereby improving the comprehensive energy utilization efficiency and ensuring the system's economic efficiency.

[0031] Steam heat pump unit 6 is electrically connected to gas turbine generator set 4; steam heat pump unit 6 is connected to biomass gasifier 1 through pipeline to utilize waste heat to generate high-temperature steam and deliver it to heating system 8.
[0032] In this embodiment, the gas turbine generator set 4 includes a gas turbine 41 and a generator 42.
