By synthetically combining the utilization of different fuels and the co-production of alternative fuels and power, a multifunctional energy system (MES) can present more opportunities to achieve higher efficiency, lower investment, and less environmental impact as compared to traditional energy systems. The principle for the integration of MES is systematically illuminated from the perspective of chemical conversion, energy utilization, and pollutants control. According to system integration characteristics, the development of MES has been classified into three stages, namely, polygeneration systems, MESs combining different fossil fuels, and MESs combining fossil fuel and renewable energy. Three MESs with primary energy savings (PESs) of 14–18% are introduced, which illustrated the potential of MES technology. At the same time, the increment of investment cost had been indicated as the major possible barriers for development of MES technology. On the basis of a comparison with other technical routes, super-critical power plants, and IGCC technology, the role of the MES in the sustainable development of China has been established. 相似文献

According to the physical and chemical energy cascade utilization and concept of synthesis integration of variety cycle systems, a new humid air turbine (HAT) cycle with solar energy for methanol decomposition has been proposed in this paper. The solar energy is utilized for methanol decomposing as a heat source in the HAT cycle. The low energy level of solar energy is supposed to convert the high energy level of chemical energy through methanol absorption, realizing the combination of clean energy and normal chemical fuels as compared to the normal chemical recuperative cycle. As a result, the performance of normal chemical fuel thermal cycle can be improved to some extent. Though the energy level of decomposed syngas from methanol is decreased, the cascade utilization of methanol is upgraded. The energy level and exergy losses in the system are graphically displayed with the energy utilization diagrams (EUD). The results show that the cycle’s exergy efficiency is higher than that of the conventional HAT cycle by at least 5 percentage points under the same operating conditions. In addition, the cycle’s thermal efficiency, exergy efficiency and solar thermal efficiency respond to an optimal methanol conversion. 相似文献

Solar thermal power cycle with integration of methanol decomposition and middle-temperature solar thermal energy 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In this paper, we have proposed a new solar thermal power cycle which integrates methanol decomposition and middle-temperature solar thermal energy, and investigated its features based on the principle of the cascade utilization of chemical exergy. Also, the methanol decomposition with a catalyst was experimentally studied at temperatures of 150–300 °C and under atmospheric pressure. The chemical energy released by methanol fuel in this cycle consisted of two successive processes: solar energy drives the thermal decomposition of methanol in a solar receiver-reactor, and the syngas of resulting products is combusted with air, namely, indirect combustion after methanol decomposition. As a result, the net solar-to-electric efficiency of the proposed cycle could be 35% at the collector temperature of 220 °C and the turbine inlet temperature of 1300 °C, and the exergy loss in the indirect combustion of methanol was about 7% points lower than that in the direct combustion of methanol. The promising results obtained in this study indicated that this new solar thermal power cycle could make significant improvements both in the efficient use of the chemical energy of clean synthetic fuel and in the middle-temperature solar thermal energy in a power system. 相似文献

In this paper, a novel combined cycle with synthetic utilization of coal and natural gas is proposed, in which the burning of coal provides thermal energy to the methane/steam reforming reaction. The syngas fuel, generated by the reforming reaction, is directly provided to the gas turbine as fuel. The reforming process with coal firing has been investigated based on the concept of energy level, and the equations has been derived to disclosing the mechanism of the cascade utilization of chemical energy of natural gas and coal in the reforming process with coal firing. Through the synthetic utilization of natural gas and coal, the exergy destruction of the combustion of syngas is decreased obviously compared with the direct combustion of natural gas and coal. As a result, the overall thermal efficiency of the new cycle reaches 52.9%, as energy supply by methane is about twice as much as these of coal. With the same consumption of natural gas and coal the new cycle can generate about 6% more power than the reference cycles (the combined cycle and the steam power plant). The promising results obtained here provide a new way to utilize natural gas and coal more efficiently and economically by synthetic utilization. 相似文献

The development of a combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) system in China is presented in this paper. The key scientific problems of a distributed energy system and the integration principles of a CCHP system are also pointed out. Moreover, two corresponding CCHP systems: one with the complementarities of fossil fuels energy and renewable energy, and the other integrated with desalination technology, are investigated. With special attention to thermal energy utilization, the integrating characteristics of these systems are likewise revealed, and the important role that the principle of cascade utilization of physical energy plays in system integration is identified. We have found that the energy-saving ratio of the integrated CCHP systems can be as high as 30%, and as such, the innovative CCHP systems suitable for China's sustainable development are also recommended. 相似文献

Solar thermochemical hydrogen production with energy level upgraded from solar thermal to chemical energy shows great potential. By integrating mid-and-low temperature solar thermochemistry and solid oxide fuel cells, in this paper, a new distributed energy system combining power, cooling, and heating is proposed and analyzed from thermodynamic, energy and exergy viewpoints. Different from the high temperature solar thermochemistry (above 1073.15 K), the mid-and-low temperature solar thermochemistry utilizes concentrated solar thermal (473.15–573.15 K) to drive methanol decomposition reaction, reducing irreversible heat collection loss. The produced hydrogen-rich fuel is converted into power through solid oxide fuel cells and micro gas turbines successively, realizing the cascaded utilization of fuel and solar energy. Numerical simulation is conducted to investigate the system thermodynamic performances under design and off-design conditions. Promising results reveal that solar-to-hydrogen and net solar-to-electricity efficiencies reach 66.26% and 40.93%, respectively. With the solar thermochemical conversion and hydrogen-rich fuel cascade utilization, the system exergy and overall energy efficiencies reach 59.76% and 80.74%, respectively. This research may provide a pathway for efficient hydrogen-rich fuel production and power generation. 相似文献

Connections among multi-energy systems become increasingly closer with the extensive application of various energy equipment such as gas-fired power plants and electricity-driven gas compressor. Therefore, the integrated energy system has attracted much attention. This paper establishes a gas-electricity joint operation model, proposes a system evaluation index based on the energy quality character after considering the grade difference of the energy loss of the subsystem, and finds an optimal scheduling method for integrated energy systems. Besides, according to the typical load characteristics of commercial and residential users, the optimal scheduling analysis is applied to the integrated energy system composed of an IEEE 39 nodes power system and a 10 nodes natural gas system. The results prove the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method. 相似文献

A micro-combined cooling heating and power (CCHP) system integrated with geothermal-assisted methanol reforming and incorporating a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack is presented. The novel CCHP system consists of a geothermal-based methanol steam reforming subsystem, PEMFC, micro gas turbine and lithium bromide (LiBr) absorption chiller. Geothermal energy is used as a heat source to drive methanol steam reforming to produce hydrogen. The unreacted methanol and hydrogen are efficiently utilized via the gas turbine and PEMFC to generate electricity, respectively. For thermodynamic and economic analysis, the effects of the thermodynamic parameters (geothermal temperature and molar ratio of water to methanol) and economic factors (such as methanol price, hydrogen price and service life) on the proposed system performance are investigated. The results indicate that the ExUF (exergy utilization factor the exergy utilization factor), TPES (trigeneration primary energy saving) and energy efficiency of the novel system can be reached at 8.8%, 47.24% and 66.3%, respectively; the levelized cost of energy is 0.0422 $/kWh, and the annual total cost saving ratio can be reached at 20.9%, compared with the conventional system. The novel system achieves thermodynamic and economic potential, and provides an alternative and promising way for efficiently utilizing abundant geothermal energy and methanol resources. 相似文献

A novel multi-functional energy system with two kinds of fuels (coal and natural gas) and two kinds of products (hydrogen and electricity) is proposed. The proposed system takes advantage of the complementary properties of coal and natural gas by integrating natural gas/steam reforming together with the combustion of coal. Coal is indirectly gasified by combustion so that the need for an air separation unit is eliminated. At the same time, a part of superior natural gas fuel, which is burnt in the reformer, is replaced with inferior coal fuel. Hence, energy utilization is improved effectively. In addition, the novel system is investigated by means of the EUD (energy-utilization diagram) methodology and then compared with the reference system, which is composed of four conventional systems. As a result, the thermal efficiency of the new system may be expected to reach 75%. Moreover, a comparison with the reference system shows that the proposed system provides a 10% energy savings. The promising result obtained here provides an attractive option for an effective utilization of coal and natural gas. 相似文献

A new kind of natural gas-based polygeneration system for methanol and power production is proposed in this paper. With the sequential connection between chemical production and power generation, the new system adopts innovative integration of partial-reforming and partial-recycle scheme in methanol synthesis subsystem. To reveal the characteristics of the new system, exegetic comparisons between the new system and a reference polygeneration system with full-reforming and once through methanol synthesis scheme have been carried out. Results indicate that the new system can save energy about 6 percentages versus single product systems. By the aid of graphical exergy analysis methodology, the specific information on internal phenomena of key processes was illustrated. The analysis shows that it is the synergetic combination of partial-reforming and partial-recycle schemes that makes the significant contribution to the performance improvement, and plays the most important role in system integration. 相似文献

Based on Aspen Plus, a methanol reforming Solid Oxide Fuel Cell - Humid Air Turbine - Combined cooling, heating and power (SOFC-HAT-CCHP) system based on solar methanol reforming is built in this paper, which combines (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell) SOFC with (Humid Air Turbine) HAT power generation system. This paper analyzes the performance of SOFC-HAT-CCHP system, and reveals the affinity of complementary utilization of solar energy and chemical energy. This paper optimizes the integrated design of the system and constructs a steady state model of the system's thermal calculation. The calculation results show that the total power efficiency of the method, the system total exergy efficiency and the thermal efficiency are 57.2%, 63.0% and 87.1% respectively. The results show that the introduction of HAT power generation system has increased the power generation and reduced the coal consumption rate. Compared with simple methanol reforming (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell - Gas Turbine - Combined cooling, heating and power) SOFC-GT-CCHP, the introduction of HAT effectively improves the total power generation efficiency of the system and increases 4.1% points. The exergy efficiency of increased by 4.6% points. Compared to the reference system, the standard coal consumption rate of electricity generated by the new system decreased by 16.6 g/kWh and the power generation increased by 15.5 g/kWh. 相似文献

This paper introduces the methods of integration of solar energy and low‐temperature solid oxide fuel cells. On the one hand, we design the system that integrates the solar photovoltaic cells and fuel cells. On the other hand, solar energy is concentrated to heat up the fuel cell and supply the working temperature at hundreds Celsius degrees by Fresnel lens. Then the fuel conversion efficiency is increased because of gain from the solar energy. Moreover, integration of solar thermal energy power system with the fuel is a good method for resolving the instability of solar energy. CHP (combined heat and power) is another aspect to enhance the design hybrid system overall efficiency. Finally, we present a novel device but built on different scientific principle. It can convert solar energy and chemical energy of fuel to electric energy simultaneously within the same device to integrated solar cell and fuel cell from the device level.

The hydrogen economy is currently experiencing a surge in attention, partly due to the possibility of absorbing variable renewable energy (VRE) production peaks through electrolysis. A fundamental challenge with this approach is low utilization rates of various parts of the integrated electricity-hydrogen system. To assess the importance of capacity utilization, this paper introduces a novel stylized numerical energy system model incorporating the major elements of electricity and hydrogen generation, transmission and storage, including both “green” hydrogen from electrolysis and “blue” hydrogen from natural gas reforming with CO2 capture and storage (CCS). Concurrent optimization of all major system elements revealed that balancing VRE with electrolysis involves substantial additional costs beyond reduced electrolyzer capacity factors. Depending on the location of electrolyzers, greater capital expenditures are also required for hydrogen pipelines and storage infrastructure (to handle intermittent hydrogen production) or electricity transmission networks (to transmit VRE peaks to electrolyzers). Blue hydrogen scenarios face similar constraints. High VRE shares impose low utilization rates of CO2 capture, transport and storage infrastructure for conventional CCS, and of hydrogen transmission and storage infrastructure for a novel process (gas switching reforming) that enables flexible power and hydrogen production. In conclusion, all major system elements must be considered to accurately reflect the costs of using hydrogen to integrate higher VRE shares. 相似文献
