Description

Device and method for utilizing full solar energy spectrum by cooperatively optimizing spectrum and light intensity
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of energy utilization, in particular to a device and a method for preparing a chemical product by solar full-spectrum complementation with collaborative optimization of spectrum and light intensity.
Background
In order to cope with environmental problems and energy crisis, solar energy is receiving more and more attention as a renewable green energy source with a huge total amount. The solar energy utilization technology with application prospect mainly comprises photovoltaic technology and photo-thermal technology.
The solar photovoltaic utilization technology is to generate electric energy through the photovoltaic effect of a solar photovoltaic cell, and has the advantage that part of sunlight can be directly converted into high-quality electric energy. However, due to the limitation of the forbidden bandwidth of the semiconductor material, as shown in fig. 10, the sunlight that can be utilized by the photovoltaic cell is mainly concentrated in the visible light and near infrared range (for example, the monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic cell can utilize the sunlight in the range of 300-1100 nm), which means that most of the solar energy is not utilized, but is converted into residual heat. Theoretically, the limit of solar power generation efficiency of a single-junction photovoltaic cell is 31%; currently, the efficiency of single crystal silicon photovoltaic cells in the laboratory is 26.1%. In addition, the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic cell is continuously reduced with the increase of the operating temperature. Taking a monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic cell as an example, the power generation efficiency is reduced by about 3% when the operating temperature is increased by 1 ℃. In actual operation, the utilization efficiency of the photovoltaic cell is further reduced under the influence of factors such as increased operation temperature, circuit resistance and dust.
The solar photo-thermal utilization technology is used for converting sunlight into heat energy and utilizing the heat energy, and has the greatest advantages of higher solar heat utilization efficiency and low technical cost, and the technologies of solar hot water, solar air heat collection and the like are widely applied. Since the photothermal conversion process can approximately utilize the full spectrum of sunlight, the solar photothermal technology does not face the problem that the full spectrum of solar energy cannot be utilized. However, the grade of solar energy is high, namely 0.93, while the temperature of the solar energy is about 400 ℃ (the point focusing can be at 800 ℃), and the grade of the heat energy is only 0.55, so that the irreversible loss is serious in the solar energy photo-thermal conversion process, and a large amount of usable energy is wasted in the process. Solar thermal power generation technology develops rapidly in recent years, but various energy losses also exist in the subsequent conversion process from heat energy to electric energy, and the system of the solar thermal power generation has high cost, poor reliability and high complexity, so that the solar thermal power generation technology is still difficult to popularize on a large scale.
Aiming at the inevitable defects of the independent photovoltaic power generation technology and the independent photo-thermal utilization technology, the solar photovoltaic photo-thermal comprehensive utilization technology is rapidly developed in recent years. According to the technology, a part of solar energy is converted into electric energy through the photovoltaic cell, and the rest of solar energy is converted into heat energy through the photovoltaic cell (or through the photo-thermal utilization device), so that the aim-at and cascade utilization of the solar energy can be realized. According to whether a frequency division process exists or not, the technology can be divided into a solar photovoltaic waste heat utilization technology and a solar frequency division photovoltaic photo-thermal utilization technology.
In the solar photovoltaic waste heat utilization technology, sunlight is firstly converted into electric energy and heat energy through a photovoltaic cell, the electric energy is directly output outwards, and the heat energy is recycled through a waste heat utilization device and then is used in the subsequent process. In the technology, the temperature of the recovered heat energy cannot be higher than the operating temperature of the photovoltaic cell, but the temperature of the photovoltaic cell is limited by the principle that the temperature of the photovoltaic cell cannot be too high (generally lower than 100 ℃ for silicon-based photovoltaics and generally lower than 200 ℃ for gallium arsenide photovoltaic cells) and the photovoltaic power generation efficiency is continuously reduced along with the increase of the operating temperature, so that the recovered heat energy belongs to low-grade heat energy, the utilization value of the recovered heat energy is low, and the income obtained by recovering the heat energy can be partially offset by the reduction of the photovoltaic cell efficiency.
In the solar energy frequency division photovoltaic photo-thermal utilization technology, a frequency division assembly divides sunlight into two parts, one part is suitable for a photovoltaic cell to be projected to the photovoltaic cell and is partially converted into electric energy, and the other part is converted into heat energy through a photo-thermal utilization device. In the technology, the spectrum suitable for photovoltaic utilization is converted into electric energy and waste heat by the photovoltaic cell, so that the cascade utilization of the partial solar spectrum is realized; the rest part of solar spectrum is utilized by the photo-thermal utilization device, the temperature of the solar spectrum is not limited by the photovoltaic cell any more, and the high-grade solar energy is prevented from being directly converted into low-grade photovoltaic waste heat. However, the existing solar energy frequency division photovoltaic photo-thermal utilization technology only divides the long wave which cannot be utilized by the photovoltaic cell into the photo-thermal utilization part, and does not pay attention to the short wave sunlight which cannot be utilized by the photovoltaic cell efficiently. Taking a silicon photovoltaic cell as an example, although it can utilize sunlight with a wavelength band of 300-1100nm, it is limited by the principle of photovoltaic effect, as shown in fig. 9, and its utilization efficiency is low for sunlight with a shorter wavelength; in the existing solar energy frequency division photovoltaic photo-thermal utilization technology, only sunlight with a wavelength of more than 1100nm is frequency-divided to a photo-thermal utilization part, but sunlight with a shorter wavelength (such as less than 300nm) which cannot be efficiently utilized by a photovoltaic cell is not frequency-divided to the photo-thermal utilization part. In addition, if the photovoltaic cell is too large from the direct solar angle, there will be a significant cosine loss; moreover, the solar energy used for photo-thermal utilization after frequency division is reduced when reaching the photo-thermal utilization device, and the heat collection device can perform full-spectrum radiation heat dissipation outwards due to self high temperature, so that the solar energy reaching the photo-thermal utilization device is mostly lost through radiation heat dissipation, and further the photo-thermal efficiency is further reduced, so that under certain weather conditions, such as cloudy weather, the photo-thermal efficiency is reduced due to weak illumination of the sunlight after condensation and frequency division.
Whether the solar energy is used alone or comprehensively, the solar energy is not stable because of the discontinuity and instability of the solar energy. This makes the solar energy generated by the system unable to meet the user's needs if supplied directly to the user; if the power grid is connected, impact is caused to the power grid, and the operation cost of the power grid is increased. Energy storage is the key to solving this problem. If the solar energy is stored as fuel chemical energy (such as hydrogen energy, methanol fuel and the like), the defects of instability and discontinuity of the solar energy can be overcome, and secondary distribution of the solar energy in time and space can be further realized by virtue of the advantages of stable fuel property and convenience in transportation.
The conversion process from solar energy to chemical energy has various modes, one is to directly prepare chemical fuel, such as hydrogen; in another mode, the method is carried out in multiple steps, namely, chemical products serving as intermediate products are prepared by utilizing solar energy, and then the obtained chemical products are sent to a chemical plant for post-processing to obtain the fuel.
At present, a plurality of methods for converting solar energy into chemical energy are available, taking water as a raw material to prepare hydrogen, and the implementation processes of the methods can be roughly divided into ① solar photovoltaic water electrolysis hydrogen preparation ② solar photo-thermal water pyrolysis hydrogen preparation (which is possible theoretically only) ③ solar photo-thermal chemical cycle water decomposition hydrogen preparationphotocatalytic hydrogen preparation ⑤ photo-electrolysis hydrogen preparation and the like.
The solar photovoltaic water electrolysis hydrogen production has the advantages of mature technology, simple equipment, no pollution, high purity of the obtained hydrogen, low impurity content, suitability for various occasions, large energy consumption, high hydrogen production cost of certain electrolytic cell (such as proton exchange membrane electrolytic cell) technologies and general need of noble metal catalysts. When the source of electric energy is not considered, the efficiency of the water electrolysis technology can reach 90%, but the energy utilization efficiency of solar photovoltaic water electrolysis hydrogen production is less than 30% in practice in consideration of the power generation efficiency of a photovoltaic cell. The electric energy generated by solar photovoltaic is used as the energy source of the electrolyzed water, the problem of large energy consumption of the traditional energy source for coal burning and electricity utilization of a power plant is solved to a certain extent, but certain energy loss is caused when the solar energy is converted into the electric energy, and in addition, the method cannot utilize the full spectrum of the solar energy, and most of the solar energy is converted into low-temperature heat energy, so that the solar energy utilization efficiency of the solar photovoltaic water electrolysis method is low. Moreover, the problem of high electrolysis cost is not solved because some electrolytic cells need noble metal catalysts for low-temperature electrolysis.
Solar high-temperature pyrolysis water hydrogen production is only a theoretical method. The principle is that solar energy is utilized to heat water to a certain high temperature, the water is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen, and finally pure hydrogen is prepared through separation. This is a strong endothermic reaction, with the gibbs free energy of reaction falling to zero when the reaction temperature is raised to 4700K. The equilibrium conversion rate is extremely low at normal temperature, and when the temperature is higher than 2500K, the decomposition rate is only 4%, and the actual application is possible only when the temperature is more than 3000K. The direct pyrolysis practicability of water is not strong in consideration of the problems that a high-temperature heat source is difficult to match, the requirement on the applicable material of the reactor is strict, explosion hidden danger exists in hydrogen-oxygen mixing and the like.
The solar energy photo-thermal chemical cycle is utilized to decompose water to produce hydrogen, the photo-thermal conversion process can approximately utilize full spectrum solar energy, the solar energy utilization efficiency is high, but the hydrogen production efficiency is low, the reaction temperature of the method is generally as high as 1500 ℃, the technical difficulty is high, the reaction needs frequent temperature rise and drop, heat shock is formed, and irreversible loss is large.
In addition to converting solar energy into electrical energy or heat energy for the production of hydrogen, there are several ways, including photocatalytic technology, photoelectrocatalysis technology, etc.
The photocatalytic hydrogen production technology is that in a particle photocatalytic system, photocatalyst powder is dispersed in water, and valence band electrons of a catalyst are radiated and transferred to a conduction band under the radiation of sunlight. When the conduction band of the catalyst is negative to the hydrogen evolution reduction potential of water, the excited photo-generated electrons can generate reduction reaction at the corresponding catalytic active sites, and then hydrogen is generated. Sunlight is often divided into three regions, ultraviolet light, infrared light, and visible light. Theoretically, sunlight below 1000nm can catalyze and decompose water, but actually, the energy of infrared light above 700nm is too low to excite electrons on a valence band in a catalytic system to a conduction band, so that electron-hole pairs cannot be stably generated, and therefore, sunlight with a short wave band is often needed in the photocatalytic system. Meanwhile, due to the filtering effect of the atmosphere on sunlight, the energy of ultraviolet light reaching the ground actually only accounts for 5% of the total energy of the sunlight reaching the ground, and even if all the ultraviolet light is utilized, the utilization rate of the sunlight is low. Thus, the attention of photocatalytic hydrogen production is mainly focused on the visible light region of 400-700 nm. The band of solar energy required for such methods is still relatively limited. In addition, photocatalytic hydrogen production has higher requirements on the light absorption performance of materials, the migration and separation rate of photon-generated carriers and the number of active sites of a system, so that the solar energy is directly utilized for irradiation, and the utilization efficiency of the solar energy is lower.
The photoelectrocatalysis technology is that on the basis of the photoelectrocatalysis technology, a powdery catalyst is made into an electrode, and then the electrode is electrified by an external power supply. The technology utilizes the full spectrum of solar energy and provides energy for the reaction through external voltage, so that the generation of the reaction is promoted, and the technology for realizing the comprehensive utilization of solar photovoltaic photo-heat to prepare hydrogen also currently utilizes the frequency division of sunlight, but the technology actually uses the photovoltaic and photo-heat in different occasions, for example, the electric energy generated by a photovoltaic cell is independently used for preparing hydrogen by electrolyzing water, and the photo-heat part is used for supplying heat for users; or the photovoltaic part is integrated into a power grid for power generation, the photothermal part is separately used for photo-thermal-thermochemical cyclic decomposition water hydrogen production, it needs to be noted that the energy flux density of the light beam used for the photothermal part after frequency division is reduced, so that the heat collection capability of the solar energy is reduced or the heat collection efficiency at high temperature is reduced when the light beam is separately used for thermochemical reaction, thereby causing low solar energy utilization efficiency of the long-wave band after frequency division, and if the light beam of the long-wave part is separately used for the photocatalytic reaction, the photon energy is low because the light beam is mainly long-wave, and is not enough to excite electrons of a valence band to a conduction band, thereby also causing low solar energy utilization efficiency. Therefore, the current technology does not realize solar photovoltaic photo-thermal complementary hydrogen production in a practical sense, namely, solar energy is completely used for preparing chemical fuel. In addition, if various energies converted from solar energy are simultaneously applied to the reaction for preparing chemical products, attention should be paid to various energy distribution ratios on one side of the solar energy, and the various energy distribution ratios should be well coupled with various energy distribution relations required in the reaction process for preparing chemical products, so as to avoid the problem of low solar energy utilization efficiency caused by mismatching of the energy distribution relations on the two sides.
The above is an example of the prior art for hydrogen production by water splitting, and is different from the above-mentioned example in the conversion process of solar energy to other chemical products.
In the process of implementing the present invention, the applicant finds that the above prior art has the following technical defects: in the utilization form of solar energy:
1. the single solar energy utilization mode has the problems of low efficiency and high cost. The solar photovoltaic power generation technology cannot utilize the full solar spectrum, the power generation efficiency is below 20 percent, and more than 80 percent of solar energy is converted into low-temperature heat energy and is wasted in the environment; in the solar photo-thermal technology, the level difference between solar energy and heat energy in the photo-thermal conversion process is large, and the radiation heat dissipation loss is large, so that a large amount of available energy in the solar energy is wasted, if the heat energy is further converted into electric energy, a part of available energy is wasted in the process, and finally the solar photo-thermal power generation efficiency is generally below 15%;
2. in the solar photovoltaic waste heat utilization technology, solar spectrum which cannot be converted into electric energy through a photovoltaic cell is projected to the surface of the photovoltaic cell and is converted into low-grade heat energy, most of available energy in the solar energy is wasted, the utilization value of the low-grade heat energy is not large, and the efficiency of the photovoltaic cell is reduced due to temperature rise.
3. The existing solar energy frequency division photovoltaic photo-thermal utilization technology only divides the long wave which cannot be utilized by the photovoltaic cell into a photo-thermal utilization part, and does not pay attention to the short wave sunlight which cannot be efficiently utilized by the photovoltaic cell.
4. When the sunlight after being condensed (frequency-divided) reaches the surface of the photovoltaic cell, if the surface of the cell is located at the focus, the photovoltaic cell may be damaged due to over-strong illumination.
5. The sunlight energy used for the photothermal utilization after frequency division is reduced when reaching the photothermal utilization device, and the reactor (heat collection device) can perform full-spectrum radiation heat dissipation due to self high temperature, so that the sunlight energy reaching the reactor (heat collection device) is mostly lost through radiation heat dissipation, and the photothermal efficiency is further reduced, so that the photothermal efficiency is reduced due to the fact that the sunlight after the condensation and frequency division is not strong in light under certain weather conditions such as cloudy weather.
6. Whether the solar energy is used alone or comprehensively, the solar energy is discontinuous and unstable due to the influence of the sunlight irradiation condition. If the solar energy is incorporated into a power grid for power generation, the position of the system is restricted, and impact to the power grid to a certain extent is caused; if the system is not incorporated into a power grid, the system also needs to make power not purchased from the power grid.
In the field of the technology for producing reaction products (fuels or other products) from solar energy:
7. solar energy is converted into fuel or other products (such as solar photovoltaic water electrolysis hydrogen production) only by using a solar photovoltaic electrochemical technology, the full spectrum of the solar energy cannot be used, more than 80 percent of the solar energy is converted into low-temperature heat energy, the energy conversion efficiency is below 20 percent, and electrochemical reaction (such as water electrolysis hydrogen production) is carried out under the low-temperature condition, high potential barrier needs to be overcome, and a noble metal catalyst is needed;
8. only solar photo-thermal chemical technology is utilized to convert solar energy into fuel or other products (such as solar photo-thermal chemical cyclic water decomposition hydrogen production), high reaction temperature is needed, the technical difficulty is high, frequent temperature rise and drop are needed in the reaction, heat shock is formed, irreversible loss is large, and energy conversion efficiency is low;
9. in the preparation of certain fuels or other products, the mere use of photothermal-pyrolysis technology is only a theoretical possibility and practical applications are limited by the reactor materials and high temperatures.
10. The method only uses the photocatalysis technology, and is limited by the wavelength of the required sunlight, long-wave light cannot be well utilized, and the method lacks an effective light absorber, and the utilization efficiency of the solar energy is low when the sunlight is directly used for irradiation. By using the photoelectrocatalysis technology, external electric energy is used, and the conversion from solar energy to chemical energy in chemical products is not realized strictly.
11. The photovoltaic-photothermal utilization technology realized by the frequency division technology at present uses photovoltaic and photothermal in different occasions, for example, the photovoltaic part independently electrolyzes water to produce hydrogen, and the photothermal part is used for supplying heat to users; or the photovoltaic part is connected with the power grid, and the hydrogen is produced by only utilizing the photothermal part to separate thermochemical cycle decomposition of water. In addition, the current frequency division technology focuses on the utilization of short wave, that is, solar energy for photovoltaic power generation, and the current frequency division technology is not focused on the utilization of long wave. The energy flow density of the long-wave light beam used for the photo-thermal part after frequency division is reduced, so that the solar energy collection capacity of the light beam part is reduced when the light beam part is independently used for a thermochemical reaction or the heat collection efficiency is reduced at high temperature, and therefore the solar energy utilization efficiency of the long-wave band after frequency division is low.
12. At present, a system for preparing fuel or other products by solar energy complementation by utilizing a frequency division technology does not realize the storage of all solar energy, the electric energy and the heat energy supplied by the system to the outside are still unstable, and the system depends on the operation of surrounding heat users and a power grid, so that the popularization range of the technology is greatly limited.
13. The existing frequency division solar energy utilization technology does not consider the complementation of electric energy, high-temperature heat energy, photovoltaic waste heat or other forms of energy generated by full-spectrum solar energy in grade, and does not consider the different functions of several types of energy in the process of preparing chemical products, so that the existing frequency division solar energy utilization technology has the problems of unmatched grade and energy in the energy utilization process, and the phenomenon of low energy utilization efficiency of the frequency division solar energy utilization technology is fundamentally caused.
14. In the traditional solar energy frequency division technology, the realization of spectral frequency division and energy distribution are coupled together, and the two are often contradictory, namely, in the process of preparing chemical products by converting solar energy into multiple energy complementation, various energy ratios distributed by the solar energy and optimal various energy ratios required by the process of preparing chemical fuels can have the situation of mismatching. The mismatching of the energy on the two sides can cause energy loss in the process of converting the solar energy into the chemical energy, and the utilization efficiency of the solar energy is reduced.

It should be noted that in the drawings or description, the same drawing reference numerals are used for similar or identical parts. Implementations not depicted or described in the drawings are of a form known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Additionally, while exemplifications of parameters including particular values may be provided herein, it is to be understood that the parameters need not be exactly equal to the respective values, but may be approximated to the respective values within acceptable error margins or design constraints.

Specifically, the invention discloses a device for preparing a reaction product by solar full-spectrum complementation with cooperatively optimized spectrum and light intensity. The device for preparing reaction products by solar full-spectrum complementation with spectrum and light intensity collaborative optimization comprises: a light-condensing assembly 1 for condensing sunlight; the frequency dividing assembly 2 is positioned on a light condensing line of the light condensing assembly and divides an incident light source into a first light beam for the photovoltaic cell 4 to efficiently utilize and a second light beam for the photovoltaic cell 4 to utilize according to conditions, wherein the second light beam comprises a part which cannot be efficiently utilized by the photovoltaic cell 4 in long-wave light and short-wave light, so that the utilization efficiency of short-wave sunlight is improved, and full-spectrum utilization of solar energy is realized; the reactor 3 is positioned at or near the focus of the optical path of the second light beam separated by the frequency dividing component, is used for receiving the second light beam separated by the frequency dividing component and is also used as a place for preparing reaction products; and the photovoltaic cell 4 is positioned at or near the focal point of the optical path of the first light beam separated by the frequency dividing component and is used for receiving the first light beam separated by the frequency dividing component and generating and utilizing the first light beam.
The operation process of the device is described below by taking photovoltaic-photothermal complementary high-temperature electrolytic water in a solar full-spectrum complementary utilization technology with spectrum and light intensity synergistically optimized as an example. The chemical reaction principle is that water is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen. First, the energy required for water electrolysis was analyzed thermodynamically as a function of temperature. The energy source for water decomposition consists of two parts, namely electric energy and heat energy, namely:
ΔH=ΔG+TΔS
wherein, Δ H is the enthalpy change of the reaction, Δ G is the Gibbs free energy change of the reaction, T is the electrolysis temperature, and Δ S is the entropy change of the reaction. The energy required for the reaction is shown in fig. 12, and it can be seen from the figure that the electric energy required for the reaction and the heat energy are in a trade-off relationship, and the water decomposition reaction can use only the electric energy or the heat energy, or can use both the electric energy and the heat energy.
On the basis of the device, the photovoltaic-photothermal complementary high-temperature water electrolysis hydrogen production in the solar full-spectrum complementary utilization technology with spectrum and light intensity collaborative optimization is realized, and the following components are also needed: the heat exchanger 5 is used for realizing the heat exchange between reactants entering the system and the prepared high-temperature gas so as to achieve the purpose of primary heating; the heat exchanger 6 is used for further heating the reactant from the heat exchange pipeline by using the high-temperature gas which is just prepared; the separation component 7 is used for separating chemical fuel in the prepared high-temperature gas subjected to twice heat exchange; a storage component 8 for storing the reaction product.
The device works in the sun. The sunlight is first concentrated by the light concentration assembly 1 and then reaches the frequency dividing assembly 2 located on the light concentration line of the light concentration assembly 1. The frequency dividing component 2 divides the incident light source into a first light beam for the photovoltaic cell 4 to efficiently utilize and a second light beam for the photovoltaic cell 4 to utilize according to the circumstances, wherein the second light beam comprises a part which cannot be efficiently utilized by the photovoltaic cell 4 in the long-wave light and the short-wave light, so that the utilization efficiency of the short-wave sunlight is improved, and the full-spectrum utilization of the solar energy is realized. Light beams for power generation and utilization of the photovoltaic cell 4 reach the surface of the photovoltaic cell 4, are converted into electric energy through a photovoltaic effect, meanwhile, a small part of light is converted into photovoltaic waste heat, and the generated electric energy is finally transmitted to the reactor 3 to participate in high-temperature electrolytic reaction. In addition, a heat exchange pipeline is attached to the lower portion of the photovoltaic cell 4, and raw material water is preheated by photovoltaic waste heat in the heat exchange pipeline. The light beam part for photo-thermal utilization reaches the reactor 3, the reactor 3 is heated through the photo-thermal effect, a high-temperature environment is provided for the reaction, and the part of heat can be used as heat required by the water decomposition endothermic chemical reaction, so that the reaction is favorably carried out. At this time, the reactor 3 performs the production of hydrogen by using both the thermal energy and the electric energy converted from the solar energy, but the high-temperature gas containing hydrogen, oxygen and other gases discharged from the reactor 3 requires a subsequent separation step to obtain hydrogen. After entering the system, cold water enters the heat exchanger 5 to exchange heat with the high-temperature gas discharged from the reactor 3, so that the purpose of primary heating is achieved. And then, photovoltaic waste heat is utilized through a heat exchange pipeline attached below the photovoltaic cell 4. The low-temperature water is changed into steam after twice heat exchange. Thereafter, the steam enters the heat exchanger 6, exchanges heat with the high-temperature gas immediately after being discharged from the reactor 3, and turns into high-temperature steam. Finally, the high-temperature steam enters the reactor 3 to participate in the electrolytic reaction, and high-temperature gas including hydrogen, oxygen and the like is generated. The prepared high-temperature gas is discharged from the reactor 3, firstly enters the heat exchanger 6 for heat exchange, then enters the heat exchanger 5 for heat exchange, and then enters the separation component 7, and the hydrogen in the separation component is separated. The separated hydrogen gas enters the storage component 8 for storage.
It can be seen that the invention firstly gathers the sunlight, then divides the sunlight into the light beam for the photovoltaic cell 4 to generate electricity and the light beam for the photo-thermal utilization through the frequency dividing component 2, then respectively converts the two into the electric energy and the heat energy, and then simultaneously sends the two kinds of energy to the reactor 3. The solar energy equivalent to the conversion utilization is entirely used for the endothermic reaction in the reactor 3. It should be noted that in this system, the residual heat after the photovoltaic cell 4 generates electricity and the residual heat of the produced high-temperature gas are both recycled.
It is worth noting that as shown in fig. 11, the electric energy generated by the photovoltaic cell is used for water decomposition power demand, and the photovoltaic waste heat is used for water vaporization, so that the energy matching of solar energy is realized; the sunlight wave band which can be efficiently utilized by the photovoltaic cell is used for photovoltaic power generation, and the heat energy generated by the other wave bands is used for meeting the requirement of heat required by water decomposition, so that wave band alignment is realized.
The above examples show that the invention converts full-spectrum solar energy into electric energy and other forms of energy, thereby realizing the cascade utilization of solar energy; further, through the opposite utilization of each energy in the chemical reaction, namely, the electric energy generated by photovoltaic is added into the reaction to reduce the heat energy or other forms of energy required by the reaction and convert the heat energy or other forms of energy into chemical energy, the synergistic conversion and storage of multi-level energy sources are realized. The invention realizes the high-efficiency preparation of chemical products by full-spectrum solar energy through the full-spectrum complementary utilization of the solar energy with the spectrum and the light intensity cooperatively optimized.
The light-focusing assembly 1 is a fresnel-type solar light-focusing assembly, but the invention is not limited thereto. In the invention, the light-gathering component 1 can also be other light-gathering components, such as a groove-type light-gathering component, a tower-type light-gathering component, a disc-type light-gathering component, a linear Fresnel light-gathering component and the like. In addition, the positions of the light condensation component 1 and the frequency division component 2 can be interchanged, and the number of the light condensation components can be determined according to the actual situation; even more directly, the light concentration assembly 1 can be eliminated. The photovoltaic cell can be selectively placed before or after the light-gathering focus according to the illumination intensity after light gathering, so that the light intensity can be adjusted, the photovoltaic cell can work under proper conditions, and the system can be suitable for different photovoltaic cells. In addition to this, damage to the photovoltaic cell can be prevented. In the present invention, the reactor 3 is a Solid Oxide Electrolytic Cell (SOEC), but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the reactor 3 may also be other reactors for manufacturing chemical products, including other forms of electrolytic cells, photocatalytic reactors, etc., and the specific selection depends on the chemical products to be manufactured and the required conditions. Correspondingly, solar energy is not limited to be converted into electric energy and thermal energy, and electric energy and other forms of energy can be used. Similarly, the reaction in the reactor 3 is not limited to the high-temperature electrolysis reaction, but may also be thermochemical cycle decomposition reaction assisted by electric energy, photocatalytic reaction, and photoelectrocatalysis reaction, and the prepared reaction product may also include one or more of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methanol, formic acid, methane, dimethyl ether, ethanol, ethylene, and other various alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, and aromatics.
