With the large-scale integration of renewable energy into the grid, energy storage technology plays a crucial role in improving the operational efficiency of regional energy systems and regulating electricity load. Currently, energy storage technology and industry have experienced rapid development.

[0003] If the characteristics of peak-valley industrial electricity pricing can be combined with peak-shaving and valley-filling modifications to utilize existing coal gas resources through "on-demand storage and release," purchasing more off-peak electricity and less peak-valley electricity, considerable economic benefits will inevitably be generated. At the same time, this will reduce the impact of power rationing on steel mill production during special periods, ensure a continuous power supply for steel mills, and significantly improve the economic efficiency of enterprises.

[0004] Existing technologies have attempted to utilize molten salt thermal energy storage systems in conjunction with thermal power units to achieve extraction steam storage for peak shaving. These systems can utilize molten salt to achieve large-capacity, high-quality thermal energy storage, improving the flexibility and economy of thermal power units under deep peak shaving conditions. However, existing technologies still have certain limitations. For example, there is a mismatch between the steam production parameters of the molten salt heat release system and the generator unit, which may lead to low heat exchange efficiency and system instability, limiting their applicability and potential for economic improvement in specific scenarios. These problems urgently need to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, the illustrative embodiments and their descriptions are used to explain this application, but are not intended to limit this application. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0038] The peak-shaving power generation system coupled with molten salt thermal storage and steam turbine supplementation provided in this application includes: a molten salt thermal storage and heat exchange system and a steam-water circulation system; the steam-water circulation system includes a gas-fired boiler, a steam turbine, and a feedwater system; the steam turbine includes a high-pressure cylinder and a medium- and low-pressure cylinder;

[0039] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a molten salt thermal storage and heat exchange system provided in one embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 1As shown, the molten salt thermal storage and heat exchange system includes a low-temperature molten salt tank 8, a molten salt heater 10, a high-temperature molten salt tank 9, and a molten salt steam-water heat exchanger 11;

[0040] The molten salt heater 10 receives the low-temperature molten salt fed into the low-temperature molten salt tank 8 by the low-temperature molten salt pump 12 during off-peak electricity hours, and heats the low-temperature molten salt with the heat of the main steam provided by the gas boiler;

[0041] The high-temperature molten salt tank 9 receives and stores the high-temperature molten salt obtained by the molten salt heater 10;

[0042] During peak electricity consumption periods, the molten salt steam-water heat exchanger 11 receives high-temperature molten salt from the high-temperature molten salt tank 9 via the high-temperature molten salt pump 13, and transfers the heat energy of the high-temperature molten salt to the high-pressure feedwater from the feedwater system to generate superheated steam; a portion of the superheated steam (molten salt exothermic steam generation 2) is sent to the main steam header connected to the gas-fired boiler.

[0043] The cryogenic molten salt tank 8 receives and stores the cryogenic molten salt obtained by the molten salt steam-water heat exchanger 11.

[0044] Specifically, during off-peak electricity hours, the molten salt in the low-temperature molten salt tank 8 is pumped into the molten salt heater 10 via the low-temperature molten salt pump 12. The low-temperature molten salt is heated by the heat from the main steam provided by the gas-fired boiler. The heated high-temperature molten salt is then stored in the high-temperature molten salt tank 9, completing the heat storage process. During peak electricity hours, the high-temperature molten salt in the high-temperature molten salt tank 9 is pumped into the molten salt steam-water heat exchanger 11 via the high-temperature molten salt pump 13. After exchanging heat with the boiler feedwater 3 and cooling down, the low-temperature molten salt is stored in the low-temperature molten salt tank 8. Simultaneously, molten salt releases heat to produce steam 2, completing the heat release process.

[0045] During off-peak electricity demand periods, the steam-water circulation system operates as a conventional steam turbine generator set. During peak electricity demand periods, a portion of the steam generated by the molten salt heat release is fed into the main steam header connected to the gas-fired boiler, increasing the flow of new steam for turbine power generation.

[0046] In one embodiment, another portion of the superheated steam is fed into the intermediate stage of the high-pressure cylinder 4 and the intermediate stage of the medium-low pressure cylinder 5.

[0047] Specifically, another portion of the molten salt exothermic steam 2 flows into the intermediate stage of the high-pressure cylinder 4 and the intermediate stage of the medium-low pressure cylinder 5 of the steam turbine, serving as supplementary steam for the steam turbine and increasing the power generation of the steam turbine generator set during peak electricity consumption periods.

[0048] Figure 2 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of a peak-shaving power generation system that couples molten salt thermal storage with turbine steam replenishment, provided in one embodiment of this application. Figure 2As shown, the peak-shaving power generation system with coupled molten salt thermal storage and turbine steam replenishment provided in this application also includes: a primary desuperheater and pressure reducer 6 and a secondary desuperheater and pressure reducer 7;

[0049] The first-stage desuperheating and pressure reducing device 6 is connected to the molten salt steam-water heat exchanger 11 and the high-pressure cylinder 4. After desuperheating and pressure reducing the superheated steam from the molten salt steam-water heat exchanger 11 once, a portion of the superheated steam after desuperheating and pressure reducing is sent to the intermediate stage of the high-pressure cylinder 4.

[0050] The secondary desuperheating and pressure reducing device 7 is connected to the primary desuperheating and pressure reducing device 6 and the medium-low pressure cylinder 5. It performs secondary desuperheating and pressure reducing on another part of the superheated steam after the primary desuperheating and pressure reducing, and then sends it into the intermediate stage of the medium-low pressure cylinder 5.

[0051] Specifically, after the high-pressure feedwater exchanges heat with molten salt in the molten salt steam-water heat exchanger 11, it generates superheated steam (molten salt releases heat to produce steam 2). Part of the steam flows into the main steam header of the gas-fired boiler steam generator 1, and the other part flows into the intermediate stage of the high-pressure cylinder 4 of the steam turbine after being de-heated and de-pressurized by the first-stage desuperheater and pressure reducer 6, serving as makeup steam for the high-pressure cylinder 4. After being de-heated and de-pressurized by the second-stage desuperheater and pressure reducer 7, the steam flows into the intermediate stage of the intermediate and low-pressure cylinder 5 of the steam turbine, serving as makeup steam for the intermediate and low-pressure cylinder 5.

[0052] Figure 3 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of a peak-shaving power generation system that couples molten salt thermal storage with turbine steam replenishment, provided in one embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the water supply system includes: a low-pressure heater 15 and a high-pressure heater 14;

[0053] The low-pressure heater 15 uses the heat from the steam extracted from the medium-low pressure cylinder 5 to heat the condensate, and then sends the resulting preheated water to the high-pressure heater 14; the condensate is obtained by condensing the exhaust gas from the medium-low pressure cylinder 5.

[0054] The high-pressure heater 14 uses the heat from the steam extracted by the high-pressure cylinder 4 to further heat the preheated water, and delivers the resulting high-pressure feedwater to the gas boiler and the molten salt steam-water heat exchanger 11.

[0055] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, another portion of the superheated steam is fed into the high-pressure heater 14 and the low-pressure heater 15 as a steam heat source.

[0056] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the peak-shaving power generation system with coupled molten salt thermal storage and turbine steam replenishment provided in this application also includes: a primary desuperheater and pressure reducer 6 and a secondary desuperheater and pressure reducer 7;

[0057] The first-stage desuperheating and pressure reducing device 6 is connected to the molten salt steam-water heat exchanger 11 and the high-pressure heater 14. After desuperheating and pressure reducing the superheated steam from the molten salt steam-water heat exchanger 11, a portion of the superheated steam after the first desuperheating and pressure reducing is sent to the high-pressure heater 14.

[0058] The secondary desuperheating and pressure reducing device 7 is connected to the primary desuperheating and pressure reducing device 6 and the low-pressure heater 15. It performs a secondary desuperheating and pressure reducing on another part of the superheated steam after the primary desuperheating and pressure reducing, and then sends it into the low-pressure heater 15.

[0059] Specifically, the superheated steam generated by the molten salt steam-water heat exchanger 11 is partly fed into the main steam header of the boiler, and partly fed into the high-pressure cylinder 4 of the turbine after being de-cooled and de-pressurized by the first-stage desuperheater and pressure reducer 6, serving as the heating steam for the high-pressure heater 14. After being de-cooled and de-pressurized by the second-stage desuperheater and pressure reducer 7, it is fed into the intermediate and low-pressure cylinder 5 of the turbine, serving as the heating steam for the low-pressure heater 15. This reduces the amount of steam extracted from the turbine, increases the amount of steam participating in the turbine's work, and improves the turbine's power generation during peak electricity consumption periods.

[0060] In one embodiment, the superheated steam generated by the molten salt steam-water heat exchanger 11 is partially fed into the main steam header generated by the boiler, and the other part completely replaces the turbine extraction steam as the heating steam for the high-pressure heater 14 and the low-pressure heater 15.

[0061] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a peak-shaving power generation system that couples molten salt thermal storage with turbine steam replenishment, as provided in one embodiment of this application. Figure 4 As shown, the water supply system also includes: a deaerator 18;

[0062] The deaerator 18 uses the heat from the steam extracted by the medium and low pressure cylinder 5 to deaerate the preheated water, and then sends the deaerated water to the high pressure heater 14 for further heating.

[0063] Specifically, the exhaust steam from the low-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine enters the condenser 16 and is condensed into condensate. The condensate is then pumped by the condensate pump 17 into the low-pressure heater 15 and the deaerator 18 in sequence. The deaerated low-pressure feedwater is then pumped by the feedwater pump 19 into the high-pressure heater 14. Part of the high-pressure feedwater heated by the high-pressure heater 14 enters the gas boiler 20, and the other part enters the molten salt steam-water heat exchanger 11 to complete the steam-water cycle.

[0064] In one embodiment, a steam bypass channel is provided between the molten salt steam-water heat exchanger 11 and the gas boiler 20. A flow-limiting valve is provided on the steam bypass channel to limit the maximum flow rate of molten salt steam into the main steam header.

[0065] In one embodiment, the maximum flow rate does not exceed 30% of the main steam flow rate.

[0066] Specifically, a high-pressure steam bypass channel that can be controlled to open and close is set before the superheated steam generated by the molten salt steam-water heat exchanger 11 flows into the main steam header connected to the gas boiler 20. This controls the flow rate of the molten salt exothermic steam 2 to be less than 30% of the steam header flow rate, ensuring that the temperature change of the steam header is less than ±5℃ after the molten salt exothermic steam 2 flows into the header.

[0067] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the steam-water circulation system also includes: a condenser 16;

[0068] The condenser 16 condenses the exhaust gas from the medium and low pressure cylinder 5 into condensate and then pumps the condensate to the water supply system via the condensate pump 17.

[0069] This application utilizes the heat energy generated by the combustion of coal gas during off-peak electricity periods to heat molten salt, storing the heat energy in a high-temperature molten salt storage tank. During peak electricity demand periods, this energy is released, increasing the supply of electricity or steam, which is beneficial for regional power grid load regulation, improving energy utilization efficiency, and yielding significant social benefits. Connecting the steam generated by the molten salt exothermics to the steam bus of the generator set boiler reduces the impact of mismatched steam parameters on the turbine. Simultaneously, the molten salt exothermic steam, after being de-temperatured and depressurized, is fed into the intermediate stage of the turbine or replaces turbine extraction steam, increasing turbine power generation during peak electricity periods and ensuring the matching of the molten salt exothermic steam with the turbine, making the system more efficient, stable, and reliable.
