Evaluation of comprehensive performance and power generation economy of constructive super-long gravity heat pipe

  • 摘要: 地热资源大部分以干热岩形式储存于地下,其规模化开发与利用对构建新型电力系统和推动能源结构转型具有重要意义。而超长重力热管(super-long gravity heat pipe,SLGHP)在干热岩开采领域具备良好的应用潜力。首先,针对SLGHP设备成本较高的难题,介绍了一种低成本的构造式超长重力热管(constructive super-long gravity heat pipe,CSLGHP)方案,该方案由顶部蒸汽发电结构、部分深入地层的管体和地层取热孔洞共同组成,大幅削减了常规SLGHP的管材成本。然后,采用热管一维与岩石区二维耦合模型以及热管系统发电经济性评估方法,对CSLGHP系统的综合性能及其发电经济性进行研究。最后,算例结果表明,相较于SLGHP,CSLGHP的取热功率最大可提升约7%,最大发电量约为21 kW,且在低冷凝温度下其取热优势更为突出;在给定的冷凝温度范围内,CSLGHP的发电经济性优于SLGHP,最高提升约35%。研究结果可为CSLGHP的进一步优化及应用提供理论依据和技术指导。

     

    Abstract: Geothermal resources are mostly stored underground in the form of hot dry rock. Their large-scale development and utilization are of great significance for constructing new-type power systems and promoting the transformation of the energy structure. Super-long gravity heat pipe (SLGHP) possess promising application potential in the exploitation of hot dry rock geothermal resources. Firstly, to address the challenge of high equipment cost of conventional SLGHP, a low-cost constructive super-long gravity heat pipe (CSLGHP) scheme is introduced. This scheme consists of a top steam power generation unit, a pipe body partially penetrating into the rock formation, and a heat-extraction borehole drilled in the rock strata, which substantially cuts the pipe material cost of conventional SLGHP. Then, a coupled numerical model combining one-dimensional heat pipe two-dimensional rock zone, together with an economic evaluation method for power generation of heat pipe systems, is adopted to investigate the comprehensive performance and power generation economy of the CSLGHP system. Finally, the results of the examples show that, compared with the SLGHP, the maximum heat extraction power of the CSLGHP is increased by approximately 7%, with a peak power generation capacity of 21 kW; moreover, its heat extraction advantage is more pronounced at low condensation temperatures. Within the given condensation temperature range, the power generation economy of the CSLGHP outperforms that of the SLGHP, with a maximum improvement rate of around 35%. The research results can provide a theoretical basis and technical references for the further optimization and engineering application of the CSLGHP.
