Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of metallurgical industry technology, and in particular relates to an energy management system for steel enterprises with energy storage as its core. Background Technology

[0002] Most processes in steel enterprises are continuous production processes, resulting in continuous electricity load. However, some equipment has particularly high electricity loads and short power consumption cycles, which significantly impact the internal power grid, causing grid fluctuations. Meanwhile, renewable energy largely relies on natural resources, and the generation and supply times of distributed photovoltaic or wind power projects are cyclical and highly uncertain. As the proportion of renewable energy increases, this cyclicality and uncertainty have a growing impact on the stability of the enterprise's internal power grid. Furthermore, most enterprises also possess waste heat resources such as coal gas and steam, as well as waste heat power generation or self-owned power plants. Therefore, a stable match between the enterprise's energy consumption, electricity load, and energy and power supply is crucial.

[0003] Currently, most steel companies lack energy storage facilities such as thermal and electrical storage. When production fluctuates, they sometimes need to adjust production plans, reduce or stop production in some processes, or release energy to achieve a balance between energy supply and demand, which affects production efficiency and causes a certain degree of energy waste. In addition, some waste heat and energy are not fully utilized during normal production, and the utilization rate and efficiency of waste heat and energy need to be further improved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an energy management system for steel enterprises with energy storage as its core, in order to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] An energy management system for steel enterprises with energy storage as its core includes a production terminal. The production terminal is connected to a waste heat recovery pipeline network, an internal power grid, an internal heating network, and an internal gas network. The internal power grid is connected to an external power purchase access device, a new energy power generation device, and an energy storage device. The external power purchase access device, the new energy power generation device, and the energy storage device are connected. The external power purchase access device and the new energy power generation device are connected to the internal heating network through an electric heating thermal storage device. The new energy power generation device is connected to the production terminal through a hydrogen production device. The waste heat recovery pipeline network is connected to the internal power grid through a steam generator set. The waste heat recovery pipeline network is connected to the steam generator set and the internal heating network through a molten salt thermal storage device. The internal gas network is connected to a gas pipeline network. The gas pipeline network is connected to the internal power grid through a coal-fired generator set.

[0007] Furthermore, the waste heat recovery network includes flue gas pipelines and steam pipelines. The waste heat recovery network is connected to the production terminal through the flue gas pipelines and steam pipelines respectively. The flue gas pipelines are connected to the steam pipelines through the waste heat boiler, and the waste heat recovery network is connected to the steam generator set and molten salt thermal storage device through the steam pipelines.

[0008] Furthermore, the new energy power generation devices are photovoltaic generator sets and / or wind turbine sets.

On the other hand, it can reduce the instability of new energy power generation such as photovoltaic and wind power, reduce the impact on the internal power grid and internal heating network load, and ensure the stability of the production system.

[0012] 2. It can realize a dynamic usage strategy based on the purchased electricity price, and adjust the amount of purchased electricity used according to the off-peak / peak electricity price. During the off-peak period, electricity is stored through the energy storage device, and during the peak period, the amount of purchased electricity is reduced and the energy storage device discharges into the internal power grid, thereby making reasonable use of purchased electricity and reducing electricity costs.

The flue gas pipeline 15 is connected to the steam pipeline 16 through the waste heat boiler 17. The waste heat recovery network 2 is connected to the steam generator set 12 and the molten salt heat storage device 13 through the steam pipeline 16.

[0019] The new energy power generation device 8 is a photovoltaic generator set and / or a wind turbine set.

[0020] Energy storage device 9 is a lithium-ion or lithium iron phosphate battery energy storage cabinet.

[0021] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0022] The system integrates four modules—purchased electricity, waste heat, coal gas, and photovoltaic / wind power—with the steel enterprise's production terminal 1. It establishes an energy management and control system for the steel enterprise with energy storage (electricity storage and heat storage) as the core, thereby optimizing resources and improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0023] 1. Application of purchased electricity: Purchased electricity is connected to the internal power grid 4 through the purchased electricity access device 7 and supplied to various electricity users.
