Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power engineering technology, specifically to an electrochemical energy storage charging and discharging bidirectional power flow control system. Background Technology

[0002] Steam turbines and generators are responsible for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy, which is the power generation end; electrochemical batteries are responsible for storing and releasing electrical energy, which is the energy storage end. Together, they constitute a "power generation-energy storage" energy cycle system. Thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy. The high-temperature and high-pressure steam generated by the boiler impacts the turbine blades. The steam drives the blades to rotate the rotor at high speed, completing the conversion of "thermal energy → kinetic energy → mechanical energy". After the steam does work, its temperature and pressure decrease, and it is finally discharged and enters the condenser to condense, forming a cycle. The electrical energy generated by the generator is partly used directly by users, and partly used to charge the electrochemical batteries to store excess electrical energy. When users' electricity demand increases, or the generator output is insufficient, the electrochemical batteries release electrical energy by discharging to supplement the power grid and maintain a stable power supply.

[0003] To maximize peak capacity, traditional cogeneration units typically increase steam extraction during periods of low electricity load to raise the temperature of the circulating water in the heating network, and reduce steam extraction during periods of high electricity load to boost peak capacity. This method of peak storage leads to significant fluctuations in the heating network temperature, affecting the safe operation of the heating network. Furthermore, if the demand from heat users does not increase during the storage period, the heat loss of the heating network increases, resulting in energy waste. Utility Model Content

The steam turbine and the generator work in series to convert the mechanical energy of the steam turbine into electrical energy, which is then delivered to the electrochemical energy storage battery.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This electrochemical energy storage charging and discharging bidirectional power flow control system uses steam from the turbine and condensate to be heated to a balanced temperature by a grid heater before being fed into the electrode boiler.

[0015] Please see Figure 1 and 2 In this embodiment of the invention, the electrochemical energy storage charging and discharging bidirectional power flow control system includes a steam turbine, a generator 4, and an electrochemical energy storage battery 5. The steam turbine includes a high-pressure cylinder 1, a medium-pressure cylinder 2, and a low-pressure cylinder 3. The steam turbine and generator 4 work in series to convert the mechanical energy of the steam turbine into electrical energy, which is then delivered to the electrochemical energy storage battery 5. The steam output from the steam turbine is sent to a grid heater 6 via a steam pipeline. The grid heater 6 is connected to an electrode boiler 7, which is equipped with a hot water storage tank 8. The electrode boiler 7 is connected to a boiling water output pipeline, a heating network water supply pipeline 9, and a heating network return water pipeline 10. The steam turbine and generator are responsible for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy and are the power generation end. The electrochemical energy storage battery 5 is responsible for generating the electrical energy. Storage and release constitute the energy storage end, together forming an energy cycle system of "power generation-energy storage". It adopts hot water storage tank 8 and electrochemical energy storage technology, combined with electrode boiler deep peak shaving technology. During the low electricity load period, the heat generated by the electrode boiler 7 deep peak shaving is stored in hot water storage tank 8, and the remaining electrical energy is stored in electrochemical energy storage battery 5 for "thermal and power co-storage". During the high electricity load period, the heat in hot water storage tank 8 is released to the heating network. At the same time, electrochemical energy storage battery 5 releases electrical energy to the grid, so as to maximize the peak capacity of the unit while ensuring the stability of the heating load. This scheme alleviates the thermal shock to the heating network during the traditional unit heat storage peak process, reduces energy waste, and achieves the maximum peak capacity.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the heating network supply water pipe 9 and the heating network return water pipe 10 are connected to the heating network. The heat pipe network includes two sets of pipes a and b with different temperatures. A first plate heat exchanger 14 and a second plate heat exchanger 11 are connected in series between pipes a and b. When the heat storage of the hot water storage tank 8 cannot meet the heat energy generated during the peak heat storage process of the unit, the heat energy is sent to the heat network water supply pipe 9 to send the excess heat energy out of the pipe network of the electrode boiler 7. The heat is recovered through heat exchange. The heat is recovered through heat exchange between the first plate heat exchanger 14 and the second plate heat exchanger 11. The first plate heat exchanger 14 and the second plate heat exchanger 11 exchange heat with the condensate to increase the temperature of the condensate and reduce the boiler energy consumption.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, pipelines a and b are respectively provided with direct discharge pipelines 12 connected in parallel with the second plate heat exchanger 11. Valves for controlling the water flow are provided on the direct discharge pipeline 12, pipeline a, and pipeline b. A direct-flow valve 13 for controlling the water flow is provided between pipeline a and pipeline b. When the direct-flow valve 13 is open, the water flow does not pass through the first plate heat exchanger 14. By switching the valve and adjusting its opening, the heat source supply ratio of the first plate heat exchanger 14 and the second plate heat exchanger 11 is controlled, thereby controlling the heat exchange temperature. Through this pipeline connection method, heat sources can be provided to multiple heat exchangers simultaneously, recovering the thermal shock during the peak heat storage process and regulating the boiler's energy consumption.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, a water supply balance pipeline 15 and a network circulation pipeline 16 are connected to the network pipeline b. Both the water supply balancing pipeline 15 and the network circulation pipeline 16 are connected to the hot water storage tank 19. The water supply balancing pipeline 15 and the network circulation pipeline 16 are equipped with valves for controlling the water circuit. Excess heat is sent to the hot water storage tank 19 for heat storage through the direct discharge pipeline 12 and the network pipeline b. The water supply balancing pipeline 15 is equipped with a hot water discharge pump 17, which sends the hot water to the hot water storage tank 19 for storage. The hot water storage tank 19 is connected to the network pipeline b through the network circulation pipeline 16. During peak electricity consumption, the heat source is sent to the first plate heat exchanger 14 and the second plate heat exchanger 11 for heat exchange through circulation, and continuous preheating is performed to improve boiler efficiency.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, a hot water storage tank 18 is installed on the pipeline circulation line 16. The hot water storage tank 18 is equipped with a hot water pump to supply water to the pipeline circulation line 16. The hot water storage tank 18 is connected to the hot water storage tank 8. When the hot water storage tank 8 uses water too quickly, the hot water storage tank 18 supplies water to the hot water storage tank 8 to prioritize meeting the heating needs of the electrode boiler 7.
