Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of producing electrical energy using a combination of several efficiency-enhanced Rankine cycles.
- a stream of a cryogenic liquid such as liquefied natural gas
- it can be used as a source of Rankine cycles cold, and the method according to the invention can ensure regasification of said stream of cryogenic liquid with upgrading of its refrigeration content.
- the liquefied natural gas (LNG) must be regasified, or in other words revaporized, at a pressure of the order of 10 to 90 bar depending on the network.
- This flashback takes place in LNG terminals, generally at room temperature by exchanging heat with seawater, possibly seawater heated with natural gas.
- the refrigeration content of the liquefied natural gas is then in no way valued.
- a known method is based on a direct expansion of natural gas. Liquefied natural gas is pumped at a pressure greater than that of the distribution network, vaporized by heat exchange with a hot source such as sea water, then expanded to network pressure in an expansion turbine associated with an electric generator.
- thermodynamic cycles using an intermediate fluid, or working fluid.
- a working fluid is vaporized under pressure against a source hot such as sea water in a first heat exchanger, then expanded in a turbine coupled to an electric generator.
- the expanded working fluid is then condensed in a second exchanger against LNG which is used as the cold source of the cycle. This results in a low pressure liquid working fluid which is pumped and returned at high pressure to the first exchanger, thus closing the cycle.
- the Rankine cycle can operate with water as the working fluid for applications such as geothermal heat recovery, the use of organic fluids evaporating at low temperature makes it possible to exploit cold sources at low temperature. low temperature. This is then referred to as the Organic Rankine Cycle (or Organic Rankine Cycle).
- ORC cycles are conventionally industrialized using LNG as a cold source and sea water as a hot source, but have relatively low energy yields, of the order of 20 kWh per tonne of vaporized LNG, i.e. - say 0.015 kWh / Nm 3 .
- conventional ORC cycles using propane as working fluid are limited by the low temperature at which they can work, the temperature of the hot source always being that of sea water, given the properties of propane. .
- document US-A-2015/0075164 discloses a combination of several cycles in which a hot source supplies the vaporization exchangers of each cycle in series and a cold source supplies the condensation exchangers of each cycle in parallel.
- a hot source supplies the vaporization exchangers of each cycle in series
- a cold source supplies the condensation exchangers of each cycle in parallel.
- Also known from document U SA-2009/0100845 is a combination of several cycles in which LNG is used as a cold source in the condensation exchanger of the cycles and in which the same working fluid condenses at several pressure levels against the cold source, depending on temperature levels.
- the arrangements according to the prior art are not entirely satisfactory for various reasons.
- US-A-2015/0075164 is suitable for recovering calories contained in a hot source, which gives up its heat to the working fluid and the temperature of which therefore decreases as successive passes through the heat recovery exchangers. .
- This solution does not solve the problem of recovering cold from a cold source.
- US 2009/0100845 uses a single working fluid. In this case, the more the cold source heats up, the higher the condensation pressure. Expansion in the associated turbine therefore generates less power.
- the object of the present invention is to resolve all or part of the above-mentioned problems, in particular by proposing a method for generating electricity in which the recovery of cold is improved and the energy efficiency further increased compared to the prior art. .

- Rankine cycles are implemented in at least one heat exchange device, which can be any device comprising passages suitable for the flow of several fluids and allowing direct or indirect heat exchange between said fluids.
- a method according to the invention can comprise a number greater than two Rankine cycles combined according to the same principles as those set out below in the case of two Rankine cycles.
- the cold streams F2, F1 can be natural gas.
- the various fluids of the process circulate in one or more heat exchangers of the brazed plate and fin type, advantageously formed of aluminum. These exchangers make it possible to work under low temperature differences and with reduced pressure drops, which improves the energy performance of the liquefaction process described above. Plate heat exchangers also offer the advantage of obtaining very compact devices offering a large exchange surface in a limited volume.
- exchangers comprise a stack of plates which extend in two dimensions, length and width, thus constituting a stack of several series of passages, some being intended for the circulation of a circulating fluid, in this case the working fluid. cycle, others being intended for the circulation of a refrigerant, in this case cryogenic liquid such as liquefied natural gas to be vaporized.
- Heat exchange structures such as heat exchange waves or fins, are generally arranged in the passages of the exchanger. These structures include fins that extend between the plates of the exchanger and increase the heat exchange surface of the exchanger.
- heat exchangers can however be used, such as plate heat exchangers, shell and tube heat exchangers, or “core in kettle” type assemblies. That is to say plate or plate and fin exchangers embedded in a shell in which the refrigerant vaporizes.
- Fig. 1 shows schematically an embodiment in which a first Rankine cycle is implemented by means of a first exchanger E1 and a second exchanger E2.
- the exchangers E1, E2 each comprise a stack of several plates (not visible) arranged parallel one above the other with spacing in a so-called stacking direction, which is orthogonal to the plates.
- a plurality of passages are thus obtained for the fluids of the process which are placed in an indirect heat exchange relationship via the plates.
- a passage is formed between two adjacent plates.
- the distance between two successive plates is small compared to the length and the width of each successive plate, so that each passage of the exchanger has a parallelepipedal and flat shape.
- the passages intended for the circulation of the same fluid form a series of passages.
- Each exchanger comprises several series of passages configured to channel the different fluids of the process parallel to an overall direction of flow z, the passages of a series being arranged, in whole or in part, alternately and / or adjacent to all or part of the passages of another series, that is to say intended for the flow of another fluid.
- the leaktightness of the passages along the edges of the plates is generally ensured by lateral and longitudinal sealing bars fixed to the plates.
- the side sealing bars do not completely seal off the passages but leave inlet and outlet openings for the introduction and discharge of fluids.
- These inlet and outlet openings are joined by collectors, generally semi-tubular in shape, ensuring a homogeneous distribution and recovery of the fluid over all the passages of the same series.
- collectors generally semi-tubular in shape
- the first exchanger E1 acts as a vaporizer in the first Rankine cycle. As seen in Fig. 1, a first working fluid W1 circulates in at least one passage 1 from an inlet 1 1 to an outlet 12. A first hot stream is introduced into the first exchanger from an inlet 21 to an outlet 22. The first working fluid W1 is vaporized by heat exchange with the first hot stream C1.
- the first vaporized working fluid W1 is expanded in a first expansion member, preferably a turbine, coupled to a first electrical generator G converting the kinetic energy produced by the expanded fluid into electrical energy.
- a first expansion member preferably a turbine
- the first working fluid W1 is introduced into the second heat exchanger E2 from an inlet 31 to an outlet 32 of at least a third passage 3.
- the first working fluid W1 is put into operation. heat exchange relationship with a first cold stream F1 flowing from at least a fourth passage 4 of the second exchanger E2 from an inlet 41 to an outlet 42.
- the first working fluid W1 is condensed by heating the first cold stream F1 and leaves the outlet 32 to be then returned to the first exchanger E1, after pressurization by a pressure-lifting member such as a pump, which closes the first cycle.
- a pressure-lifting member such as a pump
- hot stream or “cold stream” is meant a stream formed from one or more fluids providing a source of heat or cold by heat exchange with another fluid.
- a second working fluid W2 preferably of a composition different from that of the first working fluid W1 is introduced into the second exchanger E2 through an inlet 51 to an outlet 52 and circulates in at least a fifth passage 5 in which it is vaporized by heat exchange with the first working fluid W1 introduced into the second exchanger E2, said working fluid being cooled and condensed in the third passage 3.
- the second exchanger E2 simultaneously acts as a condenser for the first cycle and vaporizer for the second cycle.
- the second working fluid W2 is expanded according to the same principles as the first cycle and introduced, optionally in the two-phase state, with or without prior separation of the phases of said two-phase fluid, into a third heat exchanger E3 from an inlet 61 to an outlet 62 of at least a sixth passage 6 in which it is condensed by heating a second cold stream F2 flowing in at least a seventh passage.
- the third exchanger forms the condenser of the second cycle.
- the second working fluid W2 from the outlet 62 is pumped by a pressure lifting member and reintroduced through the inlet 51 of passage 5, which closes the second cycle.
- the structural characteristics described above for the E1 and E2 exchangers are applicable in whole or in part to E3.
- the first cold stream F1 of the first Rankine cycle is formed by the second cold stream F2 issuing from the second Rankine cycle, that is to say that the same cold current supplies the cycles in series, in which it is at least partially vaporized and gradually reheated against the second and first working fluids W2, W1, that is to say by heat exchange with said fluids.
- F1 can therefore optionally be a two-phase current.
- the first working fluid W1 introduced into the third passage 3 of the second exchanger is used to form at least part, preferably all, of the hot stream of the second Rankine cycle.
- the hot spring of second cycle is thus provided at least in part by the cooling and condensation of the working fluid of the first cycle.
- Such an arrangement makes it possible to regasify the cold stream while ensuring a more efficient recovery of the cold over the entire temperature gradient between the inlet temperature of the cold stream F2 in the at least a seventh pass and the temperature of the cold stream F1 at the output of at least a fourth pass.
- the recovery of the frigories from the cold stream takes place separately on portions of passages 7, 4 where it has different temperature levels. It is then possible to best adapt the characteristics of each of the first and second working fluids, so that they exhibit boiling temperatures adapted to these temperature levels.
- a large degree of freedom is thus available to increase the energy efficiency of the process, in particular by adjusting the temperatures, the pressures and / or the compositions of the working fluids according to the characteristics of the cold stream F2 to be heated, in particular its pressure, its temperature, its composition ...
- the second cold stream F2 can be vaporized in whole or in part and / or reheated in the second Rankine cycle (passage 7) by heat exchange with the second fluid W2.
- the first cold stream F1 can be vaporized in whole or in part and / or reheated (passage 4) in the first Rankine cycle by heat exchange with the first fluid W1.
- the first cold stream F1 exiting at 42 from the fourth passage 4 is introduced into at least an eighth passage 8 of the first exchanger E1, in order to continue its heating there against the first hot stream C1.
- This is advantageous in cases where the temperature obtained at the outlet 42 of the exchanger E2 is too low and incompatible with the material making up the distribution network, in particular in the case of a natural gas distribution network.
- the cold stream F1 recovered at the end of the outlets 42 or 82 feeds at least one pipe of a fluid distribution network, in particular a hydrocarbon distribution network such as natural gas.
- Fig. 2 shows an alternative embodiment in which the first cold stream F1 continues to heat up in a fourth exchanger E1 ′ physically distinct from the first exchanger E1.
- the exchanger E1 ' comprises the passages 8 for the circulation of the first cold stream F1 and additional passages 2' for the introduction of a first additional hot stream C1 'distinct from the hot stream C1.
- This configuration offers the advantage of being able to use, for the exchangers E1 and E1 ′, simpler technologies such as “shell and tube” type exchangers in which only two fluids circulate. Note that such a variant is applicable to other embodiments, in particular the one illustrated by FIG. 4.
- the inlets and outlets of the condensation passages 3, 6 are arranged so that the first and second working fluids W1, W2 flow, during steps c) and g) in countercurrent with the first and second currents cold F1, F2 respectively.
- the inlets and outlets of the reheating passages 4, 7, 1, 5 are arranged so that the first and second working fluids W1, W2 circulate, during steps a) and e) in co-current with the first and second cold currents F1, F2 respectively.
- the hot currents of the cycles circulate against the current of the working fluids vaporized in each cycle.
- Fig. 3 in particular shows an advantageous embodiment in which the first working fluid W1 condensed out of the passage 3 is reintroduced into the second exchanger E2 to circulate therein in at least a ninth passage 9 between an inlet 91 and an outlet 92, before be reintroduced in passage 1.
- This configuration is preferred when the working fluid W1 is not a pure substance but a mixture of several constituents, because it offers the advantage of further heating the outlet temperature of the working fluid.
- the second working fluid W2 condensed out of the passages 6 can also be reintroduced into at least a tenth passage 10 of the third exchanger, before being reintroduced into the fifth passage 5.
- Either of the first and second condensed working fluids may be subject to such re-introductions.
- the reintroduction of the condensed fluid (s) into the exchanger (s) concerned makes it possible to heat them and to maximize their outlet temperature at the hot end and therefore the production of electricity during their expansion.
- a reintroduction is carried out for each of the working fluids, which makes the process even more favorable in terms of energy.
- Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 illustrate configurations in which the Rankine cycles are operated in exchangers forming physically distinct entities, that is to say, in the case of plate or plate and fin exchangers, each forming at least one distinct stack of plates and passages.
- This embodiment with separate exchangers can be implemented in particular in the case where the passages are formed within exchangers other types than plate or plate and fin exchangers, such as shell and tube exchangers, finned or core-in-kettle type.
- the passages can be formed by the spaces in, around and between the tubes.
- Fig. 5 shows an embodiment in which the second exchanger E2 and the third exchanger E3 form the same common exchanger E.
- the second cold stream F2 circulates from a first inlet 71 located at the cold end of the exchanger E, that is to say the entry point into the exchanger where a fluid, here the stream F2, is introduced. at the lowest temperature of all the temperatures of the exchanger E.
- the second cold stream F2 leaves via a first outlet 42 of the exchanger E, the passages 4 being formed between the same plates of the exchanger E as the passages 7 and being arranged in the continuity of the passages 7.

More precisely, with reference to the configuration according to FIG. 1 without being illustrated there, the second cold stream F2 is introduced into a fifth exchanger E5 arranged upstream of the third exchanger E3. A third working fluid W3 is introduced at a third high pressure Ph3 into at least one additional passage of the third exchanger E3 and vaporizes at least in part against the second working fluid W2 circulating in the at least a sixth passage 6 of the third exchanger E3.
