Waste heat power generation device and battery energy storage system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of energy recycling, in particular to a waste heat power generation device and a battery energy storage system for recycling waste heat to generate power.
Background
With the promotion of the national policy of energy conservation and emission reduction, the attention degree of energy-saving equipment and technology utilization by high-energy-consumption industries and enterprises is deepened more and more. The government should actively implement various preferential policies of energy conservation and environmental protection and increase the financial support for low-temperature waste heat utilization projects of enterprises. Although the existing energy storage schemes play a great role in various high-quality waste heat utilization, the energy storage scheme of high-temperature waste heat is not applicable to low temperature and cannot generate economic value.
At present, low-temperature waste heat generated by large-scale factories and enterprises can be recycled by some low-temperature generator sets. These units may improve overall power generation efficiency. However, the total energy utilization rate in China is only about 33%. However, two thirds of the energy source is wasted in industrial production. The prior art can recover low-temperature waste heat, but has the problems of high cost, difficult grid connection and the like. The practical application rate is low. Particularly, the utilization rate of low-temperature waste heat in a non-large industrial environment is low, and large equipment in an industrial area is not suitable no matter the cost is high, noise is generated to the environment, and the like.
At present, the utilization method of low-temperature waste heat, such as the team led by Lane Martin of the subsidiary professor of the materials science and engineering of Berkeley university of California, adopts different methods to develop a nano-material film which can collect waste heat from the thermoelectric conversion process and convert the waste heat into electric power. The existing record is refreshed with both energy density and power density in the laboratory. However, in the practical application process, the temperature is limited, or the ideal effect is generated within a certain range.
Therefore, the generation and waste of low-temperature waste heat are serious in an office area where electronic equipment is relatively concentrated relative to an industrial area or a non-industrial area such as a large data center, but the low-temperature waste heat is a place which is ignored by many people. For these users and businesses, this waste of energy directly results in high operating costs. The combination of distributed clean energy-energy storage-block chain technology is the direction of future energy development. At present, new energy can only be stored by a battery, the existing method is that the memory material is deformed to drive the hydraulic equipment to store energy and then generate electricity, and efficiency loss is generated between energy conversion. And the cost of battery energy storage is higher than that of traditional pumped storage. If the energy storage device is not economically practical, the push for new energy will be a huge impediment. Therefore, it is desired to develop an economical and practical waste heat recovery and utilization technique that can effectively utilize low-temperature waste heat.

As shown in fig. 2, the shape memory material 4 has a two-way memory effect (shape memory metal or shape memory alloy, preferably nitinol) compared to other materials, such as metals and superelastic materials, and when heated, the shape memory material 4 recovers a high temperature phase shape and when cooled, recovers a low temperature phase shape. Compared with the original elements such as a motor and the like, the phase change device has the advantages of obvious advantages and simple structure, and directly outputs displacement and force through the thermoelastic phase change of the shape memory material 4 without a transmission mechanism. The most important advantage is that it has no pollution and noise, and can work under the condition of no friction and noise. And after a plurality of cycles, the stress-strain performance of the material is stabilized. The piezoelectric material 6 is preferably piezoelectric ceramic, and the braking strain of the currently best piezoelectric ceramic material is improved by about 6 times compared with the performance of the most traditional piezoelectric ceramic. Wherein the piezoelectric material 6 is preferably a shape memory alloy, in particular a nickel titanium shape memory alloy, which has the advantage that the proportion of work per mass of shape memory alloy is large. The performance of braking strain is closer by the optimal selection of the nickel-titanium shape memory alloy and the piezoelectric ceramics, the thermoelectric cycle time can be well controlled, and the power generation efficiency is maximized.
The waste heat power generation device comprises a device body, wherein the device body is divided into two main parts, the upper part is a heat exchange area 2, namely a phase change area of a shape memory material 4 (preferably a shape memory metal or a shape memory alloy, more preferably a shape memory metal is described as an example under a nickel-titanium shape memory alloy), and the lower part is a power generation area 3, namely piezoelectric ceramics, and the piezoelectric material (preferably the piezoelectric ceramics) and a transmission area of the shape memory material 4 and a transmission connector 5. The heat exchange area 2 controls the flow of hot gas through a waste gas heat source, and utilizes room-temperature air to reduce the temperature. The piezoelectric ceramic is driven by the transmission connector 5 to generate current by controlling the gas to pass through and bypass the heat exchange zone 2 so as to lead the shape memory material 4 to generate deformation in the heating and cooling processes. The generated current is regulated and stored in the energy storage device. The whole device and the system can be expanded and reduced according to the use requirements of users.
The optimization of the heat exchange zone 2 comprises two parts, one part is to insulate the heat exchange zone 2 and the power generation zone 3, so as to prevent the energy loss of the system and the interference of normal transmission caused by heat dissipation. In the other part, the heating and cooling period and the deformation rate of the shape memory material 4 of the heat exchange area 2 are controlled to realize the maximization of power generation so as to control the heating and cooling period of heat flow, so that the deformation rate of the shape memory material 4 is optimized, and the maximization of power generation is realized. The piezo ceramic stack may be adjusted according to the system characteristics of the waste heat. The waste heat power generation device and the battery energy storage system can be arranged into a plurality of groups and distributed along the exhaust emission direction as long as the temperature meets the requirement to achieve the target of preset electric power storage.
The shape memory material 4 and the transmission connector 5 are fixed by a physical method and are completely separated, the transmission connector 5 is in transition connection, so that sensitive elements are fully protected, and after finite element and fluid mechanics simulation analysis, transient heat transfer and thermal periodicity of material properties are thoroughly analyzed, so that energy conversion reaches an optimal value, and the operation is easier than welding even if replacement is needed. The improved method increases the stability of operation and reduces the processing cost.
The combination of the shape memory material 4 and the piezoelectric ceramic group and the transmission mode thereof are highlighted in the following three aspects:
on the first hand, the problem that the design current output value is small and is not enough for waste heat energy storage is solved because the shape memory material 4 and the piezoelectric material are both made into a sandwich composite plate in the traditional fixation. The invention adopts the property that the braking strain of the shape memory material 4 is greater than that of the piezoelectric ceramics, and the piezoelectric ceramics are made into a module form, so that the power generation can be carried out at multiple points through a linkage device to increase the power generation amount. The present design takes the simplest form of the wire-like shape memory material 4, which reduces both production and process requirements and costs.
In the second aspect, the problem that the traditional mode of binding the shape memory material 4 and the piezoelectric ceramic in the traditional fixation exposes both to the exhaust gas environment, and because the chemical composition of the exhaust gas is complex, water vapor or other corrosive gas in the exhaust gas can cause great damage to the working components in the process of temperature reduction is avoided.
In a third aspect, the fatigue and fracture that can occur in the weld joint due to the complexity of the composition of the shape memory material 4 in the conventional welding method is avoided, and the welding between different shapes of memory material 4 can be very challenging, which is particularly important for the particular shape memory material 4, especially for parts that are subjected to millions of heating and heat cycles. The welding method simplifies the production steps, but the performance cannot be guaranteed. Stability and operation of the system within design limits are important factors in ensuring economy.
