摘要
Among many technical options to improve the flexibility in combined heat and power (CHP) plants, thermal energy storage (TES) has attracted the most attention with its high applicability and benefit. Previous studies normally adopted a simplified approach for modelling a TES system, which assumes the optimized charged or discharged rate of heat can always be realized within the rated capacity. However, this may yield unfeasible results as the charging and discharging rates are dependent on the dynamic status of a TES, such as the state of charge (SOC) and water temperature, and the water flowrate for charging and discharging. In order to consider the transient operation of a TES, a 1D dynamic model was developed and validated against measured data from a real CHP plant. To analyze the dynamic performance of a TES, two key performance indicators (KPI), the maximum charging/discharging rate (C/D-ratemax) and the constant maximum charging/discharging rate that can be maintained constantly for one hour (CC/CD-ratemax) were employed. By doing simulations, it has been found that the CC/CD-ratemax was lower than the C/D-ratemax for most given SOCs of the studied TES. The developed model was also used to examine the optimized operation of a TES for providing flexibility. Some unfeasible results have been identified, as the optimized hourly charging/discharging rates were constrained by the CC/CD-ratemax. Therefore, it is of great importance to integrate a detailed dynamic model when optimizing the dispatch of electricity and heat for a CHP plant.
