AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, when combined heat and power units are equipped with liquid air energy storage, it is difficult to achieve start-stop and peak-shaving functions without shutting down the unit, and the initial investment is relatively large.

Method used

Design a start-up and peak-shaving system for a combined heat and power (CHP) unit based on liquid air energy storage, including a coal-fired power generation unit, a liquid air energy storage unit, and a residential heating unit. By optimizing the equipment connection and configuration, the system utilizes the heating steam extraction provided by the coal-fired power generation unit and the equipment connection of the energy storage unit. The high-voltage equipment of the liquid energy storage unit is connected to the power generation end of the coal-fired power unit. The residential heating unit is connected to both the liquid air energy storage unit and the coal-fired power generation unit, thereby realizing the conversion of electrical energy into heat storage and heating.

Benefits of technology

It enables external start-stop and peak-shaving functions without shutting down the system, reducing initial investment, taking into account the heating needs of the people, and ensuring the safety and flexibility of the system.
