Based on the design and operational conditions of Guangdong Huaying LNG Terminal and its surrounding industrial environment, a cascade utilization scheme integrating thermodynamic power generation with shallow cold storage was developed. Moreover, key process parameters were modeled and solved using HYSYS software to enhance energy efficiency and maximize cold energy utilization. The results show that, under the condition of minimum daily send-out (228 t/h), the original single-stage thermodynamic cycle coupled with cold storage achieved an annual power generation exceeding 32.83 GW·h while meeting the cooling demand of a 7 500 m³ cold storage facility. The optimized scheme adopts a two-stage thermodynamic cycle with shallow cold storage, via employing a 40% (weight percentage) ethane and 60% (weight percentage) propane mixed working fluid, and elevating heat source temperature, this improved design increased the annual power generation to 62.04 GW·h, and raised the net power output per unit mass of LNG from 17.54(kW·h)/t to 33.02 (kW·h)/t, with estimated annual electricity cost savings of approximately 53.641 million yuan. Although multi-stage heat engine cycles can reduce irreversible losses caused by temperature differences, considering factors such as cost-benefit ratio and operational reliability, the second scheme demonstrates strong engineering feasibility and economic viability by closely aligning with the actual conditions of the Huaying LNG Receiving Terminal. Both cascade utilization designs demonstrate distinct advantages for different development stages of the receiving terminal and different evaluation indicators for LNG cold energy utilization, providing valuable references for post-commissioning cold energy applications.
