Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of energy power generation, in particular to a high-efficiency power generation system based on supercritical carbon dioxide and an operation method.
Background
Energy is the basis of human survival and economic development, and the world energy demand continuously increases along with the economic development. At present, the utilization rate of coal energy is relatively low, waste heat sources generally exist in the current industry and other fields, at least 50% of input energy is not effectively utilized as a thermal power plant in a main power generation form, and other coal consuming households such as the metallurgical industry release huge waste heat in production processes. Therefore, the waste heat utilization efficiency is improved, the method is one of the main means for increasing the coal utilization efficiency at present, and the method has great significance for the aspects of energy conservation, emission reduction, environmental protection and the like. At present, most of waste heat utilization schemes adopt waste heat to heat water to generate steam for power generation, however, the physical property characteristics of phase change of the water in the circulation process and the limit of material development are generated, so that the efficiency improvement of Rankine cycle with water as a working medium almost reaches the bottleneck, and the energy cycle based on a novel working medium is urgently needed to be developed.
At present, the supercritical carbon dioxide is considered as the most potential energy cycle working medium in the future by the characteristics of easy obtainment of the supercritical state, large energy density, stable property, no toxicity, no corrosion, simple system structure, compact structure and the like, and the research aiming at the supercritical carbon dioxide power generation is gradually paid attention by the learners. However, as a result of research, the content of the industrial waste heat utilization by using supercritical carbon dioxide in the current patent achievements published at home and abroad is relatively less, and the existing patents hardly consider the problem of energy gradient utilization, or integrate other cycles to cause the system to be too complex and lose the advantages of a supercritical carbon dioxide power generation system, or do not consider the problem that the existing system is not applicable when the temperature of a heat source is greatly changed due to the heat source grade of the waste heat, and the like.

As shown in fig. 1, the direction of the waste heat flow is from n stages to the primary heat exchanger 11.
The number of turbines in the turbine system, namely the number of stages, is changed along with the number of the waste heat exchangers, namely the turbines are one stage smaller than the heat exchangers. Further, the supercritical carbon dioxide temperature at the turbine inlet can be divided into a first-stage turbine 21, a second-stage turbine 22 … … m-stage turbine and the like, and the relationship between m and n is m-n-1 or m-n (m is more than or equal to 2).
The number of the regenerators in the regenerative system, namely the number of stages is equal to the number of the turbines. Further, the inlet carbon dioxide temperature at the heating side of the regenerator can be divided into a primary regenerator 31, a secondary regenerator 32 … … m-stage regenerator and the like according to the temperature of the inlet carbon dioxide at the heating side of the regenerator.

Specifically, an m-stage turbine outlet is connected with a heat release side inlet of an m-stage heat regenerator through a routing system 6, and the m-stage heat regenerator is connected with an m-1-stage heat regenerator … … to a first-stage heat regenerator 31, a precooling system and a compression system in series through a heat release side outlet; the first inlet and outlet in the heat regenerator are an outlet and an inlet on the heat absorption side, and the second inlet and outlet in the heat regenerator are an outlet and an inlet on the heat release side.
And the outlet of the (m-1) stage turbine is connected to a pipeline between the m-stage regenerator and the m-1 stage regenerator through a routing system 6. When m is equal to n-1, the turbine inlet of the m-1 stage in the turbine system is connected with the main pipeline after the n-1 groups of thermal components are collected, and the turbine inlet can be connected to the collector exemplarily, but is not limited to this. When m is equal to n, the turbine inlet of the m-1 stage in the turbine system can also be directly connected with the heat absorption side outlet of the m-stage regenerator, namely the first outlet.
