This invention belongs to the field of
molten salt energy storage and steam extraction / supply, and relates to a thermal power-
molten salt energy storage coupling system and method that synergistically achieves energy-saving heating and flexible peak shaving, to solve the problems of difficult thermoelectric decoupling, limited peak shaving capacity, and large steam supply heat loss under
low load conditions of thermal power units. The invention includes: an energy charging unit, connecting the
turbine unit and
power generation system, the
molten salt energy storage unit, and the steam supply unit, which transfers part of the
heat energy of the extracted steam to the molten salt; the released steam then enters the steam supply unit; the molten salt energy storage unit, containing high-temperature and low-temperature molten salt tanks; and an energy release unit, which uses high-temperature molten salt to heat
boiler feedwater and deliver it to the boiler. This invention uses molten salt as an
energy carrier and employs a synchronous charging and releasing method to utilize the superheat of the extracted steam, replacing
water spray desuperheating to reduce heat loss, achieving energy
cascade utilization and reducing boiler load. By switching the on / off states of valves, multiple operating
modes are achieved, including energy storage, energy release, and cyclic energy-saving heating, realizing thermoelectric decoupling and deep peak shaving of the unit while meeting steam supply requirements.
