Abstract

A 350 MW cogeneration unit was selected as the research object to investigate a molten salt energy storage system. Key evaluation indicators, including peak shaving capacity, thermal efficiency, equivalent round-trip efficiency, and comprehensive coal consumption, were analyzed under heat storage-release strategies involving single-steam source and multi-steam source heating, combined with steam grade and steam split ratio. The thermoelectric characteristic curve of the unit during the heat storage-release phase was determined based on the storage-release characteristics of the molten salt system. The results indicate that under heat storage mode, similar peak shaving depths are achieved with both single-steam source and multi-steam source heating strategies. However, thermal efficiency is higher with the multi-steam source strategy, and peak shaving capacity improves with an increased steam split ratio. During heat release mode, higher peak shaving capacity is achieved when steam is matched with the grade of cold reheat steam.

期刊介绍： We publish original research from all areas of the natural sciences, psychology, medicine and engineering. You can learn more about what we publish by browsing our specific scientific subject areas below or explore Scientific Reports by browsing all articles and collections. Scientific Reports has a 2-year impact factor: 4.380 (2021), and is the 6th most-cited journal in the world, with more than 540,000 citations in 2020 (Clarivate Analytics, 2021). •Engineering Engineering covers all aspects of engineering, technology, and applied science. It plays a crucial role in the development of technologies to address some of the world''s biggest challenges, helping to save lives and improve the way we live. •Physical sciences Physical sciences are those academic disciplines that aim to uncover the underlying laws of nature — often written in the language of mathematics. It is a collective term for areas of study including astronomy, chemistry, materials science and physics. •Earth and environmental sciences Earth and environmental sciences cover all aspects of Earth and planetary science and broadly encompass solid Earth processes, surface and atmospheric dynamics, Earth system history, climate and climate change, marine and freshwater systems, and ecology. It also considers the interactions between humans and these systems. •Biological sciences Biological sciences encompass all the divisions of natural sciences examining various aspects of vital processes. The concept includes anatomy, physiology, cell biology, biochemistry and biophysics, and covers all organisms from microorganisms, animals to plants. •Health sciences The health sciences study health, disease and healthcare. This field of study aims to develop knowledge, interventions and technology for use in healthcare to improve the treatment of patients.
