Description

  The present invention relates to a generated power smoothing system.

  In power generation using solar energy such as solar power generation and solar thermal power generation, the power generation output greatly fluctuates due to the influence of the day's sunshine. For example, power generation cannot be performed at night, and power generation output greatly decreases on rainy or cloudy days. In addition, in the case of sunshine conditions from dawn to sunset, which are examples of relatively long-period fluctuations (hereinafter sometimes referred to as long-period fluctuations) that occur over several hours, The power generation output fluctuates greatly during the day. Furthermore, solar cells that are examples of relatively short-cycle fluctuations (hereinafter sometimes referred to as short-cycle fluctuations) that occur within a period of, for example, 20 minutes from a few seconds so that the solar cells enter and leave the shadow of a cloud. Even in this case, the power generation output fluctuates significantly in a short time.

  In Japan, the power transmission system (transmission line) is weaker in remote areas and remote islands near the end of the transmission system. Connecting the transmission line with the power generation output that fluctuates as described above to the transmission system close to the end may not be permitted by the power company because the transmission system becomes unstable.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a power generation facility including a solar power generation device having a solar receiver and a solar thermal power generation device having a solar heat receiver as a system that uses solar energy to stably supply electric power.

  In this facility, the solar power generation time is generated by the solar power generation apparatus using the solar energy concentrated on the solar receiver, and the heat medium is heated by the solar energy concentrated on the solar heat receiver. The heat is stored in the heat storage device. In the time zone when sunlight is weak, the heat medium is heated by the heat of the heat storage device to generate steam, and the steam is used to generate power by the solar power generator.

  Therefore, the heat storage device must be switched to a heat storage state during a time zone when sunlight is strong, and switched to a state where the stored heat is used during a time zone when sunlight is weak.

  However, in the above equipment, it is difficult to switch and use the heat storage device in a relatively short time. Moreover, in patent document 1, the countermeasure with respect to short period fluctuation | variation accompanying the change of the weather of solar energy etc. is not mentioned in particular.

  The power transducer 42 detects the generated power in the solar power generation unit 41 and transmits the detected value to the control device 15.

  The control device 15 is connected to the power transducer 42 so as to receive the detection value of the first generated power from the power transducer 42. The control device 15 is electrically connected to the steam generator 12 and the steam binary power generation devices 13A and 13B.

  The control device 15 includes a first control unit 15a and a second control unit 15b. Each of the first control unit 15a and the second control unit 15b includes a CPU (not shown) and a memory (not shown).

  In the memory (not shown) of the first control unit 15a, the first power generation from the power transducer 42 is performed at a preset first interval (a relatively short cycle interval of 20 minutes or less, for example, an interval of 20 minutes).

  In the second program, when the set generated power is reset, the set power generation in which the sum of the second average value as the first generated power and the second generated power generated by the steam generator 12 is reset A program for changing the rotation speed of the steam generator 12 so as to be electric power is included.

  The control device 15 controls the operation state of the steam generator 12 (rotational speed control, load control, unload control). That is, the control device 15 is based on the magnitude of the first generated power so that the sum of the first generated power and the second generated power becomes the preset set generated power output to the system 53. The magnitude of the second generated power is controlled. Accordingly, the first generated power and the second generated power are in an inversely proportional relationship.

  The generated power smoothing system 10 is provided with a bypass passage 46. The bypass channel 46 has two branch channels (second branch channels) 47A and 47B on the downstream side. The upstream end of the bypass channel 46 is connected to the upstream steam supply channel 16 </ b> A between the woody biomass boiler 11 and the steam generator 12. The ends of the second branch channels 47A and 47B are connected to the first branch channels 21A and 21B. The bypass passage 46 is provided with a steam pressure reducing valve 48 for reducing the upstream pressure (primary pressure) to a preset secondary pressure.

  The generated power smoothing system 10 is provided with a first power integration panel 50 capable of integrating the first generated power transmitted through the transmission line 43 and the second generated power transmitted through the transmission line 20. Yes. The sum of the integrated first generated power and second generated power is preset set generated power output to the grid 53. The first power integration panel 50 is connected to a later-described second power integration panel (second power integration means) 51 via a transmission line 56.

  In the generated power smoothing system 10, the power integrated by the first power integration panel 50 and transmitted by the transmission line 56, the power generated by the steam binary power generation devices 13A and 13B, and transmitted by the transmission lines 35A and 35B. A second power integration panel 51 capable of integrating the three generated powers is provided. The second power integration panel 51 is provided with a transmission line 52 for transmitting the integrated generated power. The power transmission line 52 is connected to the system 53.

  The operation of the generated power smoothing system 10 of the present invention having the above configuration will be described.

  When sunlight is irradiated to the solar power generation unit 41 during the day, the first power generation is generated in the solar power generation unit 41 and output to the transmission line 43. The first generated power is detected by the power transducer 42 and the detected value is transmitted to the control device 15.

  On the other hand, the woody biomass boiler 11 heats water using woody biomass as a fuel to generate a certain amount of water vapor per unit time. The generated water vapor is sent to the upstream-side steam supply channel 16 </ b> A and the bypass channel 46. The steam sent to the bypass passage 46 passes through the pressure reducing valve 48 only when the upstream pressure (primary pressure) of the bypass passage 46 exceeds a preset secondary pressure. That is, only surplus steam that has not been used by the steam generator 12 passes through the pressure reducing valve 48.

  The detection value received from the power transducer 42 is stored in the first control unit 15a of the control device 15 at a preset first interval (a relatively short cycle interval of 20 minutes or less, for example, an interval of 20 minutes) (see FIG. (Not shown). Data of a preset number in a memory (not shown) (5 in the present embodiment, the last four detection values (calculated values) A1 to A4, current detection value B5) detected by the power transducer 42) Is stored, a calculation based on the forward moving average method is executed by a CPU (not shown) based on the stored data. Thereby, the first control unit 15a obtains the calculated value A5 and adopts the calculated value A5 instead of the detected value B5. Thereafter, the first control unit 15a becomes the set generated power in which the sum of the first generated power which is the calculated value A5, that is, the first average value A5, and the second generated power generated by the steam generator 12 is set. Thus, the rotation speed of the steam generator 12 is changed. The rotation speed is changed, for example, by braking the steam generator 12 with an inverter (not shown) so as to control the supply pressure or exhaust pressure of the screw turbine (positive displacement rotating machine) 17.

  Under this control, the screw turbine 17 is driven by passing the water vapor sent to the upstream side steam supply passage 16 </ b> A through the inside of the steam generator 12. Thereby, the generator main body 18 generates the second generated power. The second generated power generated by the steam generator 12 is output to the transmission line 20 via an inverter and a converter (not shown), and the first generated power output to the transmission line 43 in the first power integration panel 50 Integrated. Thereafter, the generated power obtained by integrating the first generated power and the second generated power is transmitted to the transmission line 56, and then the second power integrated panel 51 generates power generated by the generator main bodies 30A and 30B. 3 and is transmitted to the system 53 via the transmission line 52.

  The steam discharged from the steam generator 12 passes through the downstream steam supply flow path 16B and is sent to the branch flow paths 21A and 21B. The steam in the branch channels 21A and 21B is sent to the evaporators 22A and 22B of the steam binary power generation devices 13A and 13B shown in FIG. In the evaporators 22A and 22B, the working medium in the sealed pipe lines 27A and 27B of the steam binary power generation devices 13A and 13B is vaporized by heat exchange, and the water vapor sent from the branch flow paths 21A and 21B is condensed. The condensed warm water is sent to the branch flow paths 37A and 37B. The warm water in the branch flow paths 37A and 37B merges at the merge portion 36a, flows into the reflux flow path 36, and is sent to the woody biomass boiler 11 by the pump 38. The hot water sent from the reflux channel 36 is heated by the biomass boiler 11 to become steam, and the steam is sent to the steam supply channel 16.

  In the heat exchanger 39, the cold spring water (second heat medium) in the heating flow path 40 is heated by heat exchange with the hot water in the reflux flow path 36, and is supplied as hot spring water to a hot bath facility (not shown).

  By passing the working medium vaporized by the evaporators 22A and 22B of the steam binary power generation devices 13A and 13B through the screw turbines 28A and 28B, the generator main bodies 30A and 30B are driven, and the power generation units 24A and 24B Generated power is generated. The third generated power generated by the power generation units 24A and 24B is output to the transmission lines 35A and 35B, and the generated power obtained by integrating the first generated power and the second generated power output to the transmission line 56, and Integrated in the second power integration panel 51. Thereafter, the generated power integrated by the second power integration panel 51 is transmitted to the system 53 via the transmission line 52.

  When the amount of sunlight decreases due to the sun blocking by the clouds, the first amount of generated power generated in the photovoltaic power generation unit 41 decreases. Therefore, the first average value of the first generated electric power calculated by the first control unit 15a is decreased at every preset first interval (for example, every 20 minutes). Therefore, in order to maintain the set generated power, the second generated power is increased. That is, the 1st control part 15a raises the rotation speed of the steam generator 12. FIG.

  When the amount of sunlight increases, the first amount of generated power generated by the photovoltaic power generation unit 41 increases. Therefore, the first average value of the first generated power calculated by the first control unit 15a is increased at each preset first interval (for example, every 20 minutes). Accordingly, the second generated power is decreased in order to maintain the set generated power. That is, the 1st control part 15a reduces the rotation speed of the steam generator 12. FIG.

  Due to a decrease in the rotational speed of the steam generator 12, that is, a decrease in the amount of water vapor flowing into the upstream steam supply channel 16A, surplus steam is generated in the upstream steam supply channel 16A. Therefore, surplus steam is sent to the branch flow paths 21 </ b> A and 21 </ b> B through the pressure reducing valve 48 of the bypass flow path 46 that bypasses the steam generator 12. The sent steam merges with the steam discharged from the steam generator 12 and is sent to the evaporators 22A and 22B of the binary power generators 13A and 13B.

  Even if the amount of sunlight increases or decreases in a short time, as described above, for example, based on the first average value of the first generated power calculated at intervals of 20 minutes, the rotation speed of the steam generator 12 Therefore, the set power generation can be generated stably. Therefore, it is possible to smooth the generated electric power that fluctuates for a short period by power generation using sunlight.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, evaporators 22 </ b> A and 22 </ b> B configured such that heat exchange is possible between the primary flow path for circulating the first heat medium and the secondary flow path for circulating the working medium. Binary power generators 13A and 13B having Therefore, the thermal energy possessed by the steam that has passed or bypassed the steam generator 12 can be recovered by the binary power generators 13A and 13B, and the energy efficiency can be improved.

  The steam generator 12 is stopped when it is raining and when there is no power generated by the solar power generation unit 41 at night. As a result, the steam in the upstream steam supply flow path 16A can be allowed to flow into the bypass flow path 46 and pass through the pressure reducing valve 48 without passing through the steam generator 12. The steam that has passed through the pressure reducing valve 48 flows into the evaporators 22A and 22B of the binary power generators 13A and 13B through the branch flow paths 21A and 21B. Thereby, it is possible to generate power by driving the steam binary power generation devices 13A and 13B without depending on the amount of solar power generation, in other words, the power generation amount of the steam generator 12, and always generate stable power. .

  The detection value received from the power transducer 42 is stored in the second control unit 15b of the control device 15 at a preset second interval (a relatively long cycle interval longer than the first interval, for example, an interval of 6 hours). (Not shown). Data of a preset number in a memory (not shown) (5 in the present embodiment, the last four detection values (calculated values) A1 to A4, current detection value B5) detected by the power transducer 42) Is stored, a calculation based on the forward moving average method is executed by a CPU (not shown) based on the stored data. Thereby, the second control unit 15b obtains the calculated value A5 and adopts the calculated value A5 instead of the detected value B5. Then, the second control unit 15b stores the calculated value A5 as a second average value in a memory (not shown), and reads the generated power peak value Lmax that matches the calculated value A5. The second control unit 15b resets the average power generation amount Lave corresponding to the read generated power peak value Lmax to the set generated power. Thereafter, the second control unit 15b sets the set generated power in which the sum of the first generated power that is the calculated value A5, that is, the first average value A5, and the second generated power generated by the steam generator 12 is reset. Thus, the rotation speed of the steam generator 12 is changed. In this way, the magnitude of the second generated power generated by the steam generator 12 is controlled based on the magnitude of the first generated power generated by sunlight so as to be a preset set generated power. Since it can be controlled by the device 15, the set generated power can be generated stably for a long period. Therefore, it is possible to smooth the generated electric power that fluctuates for a short period by power generation using sunlight.

  As described above, in both the short period and the long period, it is possible to smooth the generated power that changes in a short period by power generation using sunlight.

  Of the steam from the woody biomass boiler 11, surplus steam excluding the steam used in the steam generator 12 is circulated through the bypass channel 46, whereby the energy of the surplus steam can be directly recovered by the binary power generators 13A and 13B. And energy efficiency can be improved.

  It has the 2nd electric power integration board 51 which can integrate the set generated electric power and the 3rd generated electric power generated by binary power generator 13A, 13B which collects the thermal energy which the steam which passed steam generator 12 holds. . Therefore, the total amount of generated power can be increased while smoothing the generated power.

  The primary side flow path has a steam supply flow path 16 and a reflux flow path 36, and one end of the reflux flow path 36 passes through the evaporators 22A and 22B of the binary power generation devices 13A and 13B. Connected with. The other end of the reflux flow path 36 is connected to the wood biomass boiler 11 and includes a pump 38 that recirculates the warm water condensed by the evaporators 22A and 22B of the binary power generators 13A and 13B to the wood biomass boiler 11. Therefore, the hot water in the reflux flow path 36 condensed by the evaporators 22A and 22B of the binary power generators 13A and 13B is returned to the wood biomass boiler 11 by the pump 38, and the thermal energy of the hot water is reused in the wood biomass boiler 11. Can do. Thereby, energy efficiency can be improved.

  A heat exchanger 39 for exchanging heat between the hot water in the reflux channel 36 and the cold spring water in the heating channel 40 is provided in the reflux channel 36 upstream of the pump 38. Therefore, a part of the thermal energy of the warm water in the reflux channel 36 can be transmitted to the cold spring water in the heating channel 40 via the heat exchanger 39, and the cold spring water is heated at a lower cost than using fossil fuel. And you can get hot spring water. For example, hot water of about 90 ° C. that has been condensed by flowing into the binary power generators 13A and 13B can be heated to about 60 ° C. by exchanging heat with cold spring water of about 25 ° C. of the hot bath facility. Can be supplied to hot bath facilities. In hot bath facilities, it is common practice to use hot spring water by exchanging heat with hot water from a hot water boiler. The types of hot water boilers include city gas boilers, kerosene boilers, LPG boilers, and heavy oil boilers, and fuel costs account for most of their operating costs. Replacing these fossil fuel-fired boilers with a system in which the heat exchanger 39 is provided in the return flow path 36 as described above will greatly reduce the fuel consumption in the bathing facility in addition to the revenue from selling the generated power. Effect can be increased.

  Woody biomass fuel that is not a dangerous substance can be used as the fuel for the steam generating means 11, and the fuel can be easily managed.

  The steam consumption of the steam turbine generator 12 is at most several percent (for example, about 4%) of the passing steam amount. When the rotational speed of the steam turbine 12 varies, the steam turbine exhaust steam amount varies greatly. However, since the bypass passage 46 is provided in the steam supply passage 16, the combined flow rate of the steam flowing in from the pressure reducing valve 48 that bypasses the steam turbine 12 and the amount of steam passing through the steam turbine 12 is the generated power of the steam turbine 12. It is almost constant regardless of fluctuations. Therefore, the steam binary power generation devices 13A and 13B downstream of the steam turbine 12 can generate power stably and transmit power.

  In addition, the smoothing system 10 of the generated electric power of the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible as exemplified below.

  The renewable energy utilizing power generation device 14 may be a power generation device that generates power using wind power.

  The steam generation means 11 may be a boiler or an electric heater other than the woody biomass boiler as long as it generates steam.

  The steam generator 12 may be any positive displacement rotary machine such as a scroll, a rotary, a tooth compressor, and a screw.

  An opening / closing valve may be provided in the upstream steam supply flow path 16 </ b> A downstream of the branch portion, and the opening / closing of the opening / closing valve may be controlled by the control device 15. Alternatively, an opening / closing valve may be provided in each of the upstream steam supply passage 16A downstream of the branching portion and the bypass passage 46 upstream of the pressure reducing valve 48, and the control device 15 may control the opening / closing of each of the opening / closing valves. Good. Alternatively, a three-way valve may be provided as an on-off valve at the branch portion of the upstream side steam supply passage 16A, and the opening / closing may be controlled by switching the passage of the three-way valve by the control device 15. According to this configuration, the flow path can be switched so that the entire amount of the steam from the steam generating means 11 is circulated only to the bypass flow path 46 side without being circulated to the steam generator 12 side. In the case of not performing power generation, power can be generated only by the steam binary power generation devices 13A and 13B.

  The steam generation means 11 preferably generates the steam using at least one of biomass fuel, geothermal heat, or solar heat. According to this configuration, steam can be generated by utilizing unused renewable energy. The apparatus of the present invention can be suitably installed in a mountainous area in Japan where forest resources are blessed and thinned wood that is used as biomass fuel can be easily procured.
