The utility model relates to a
compressed air energy storage system in the technical field of
compressed air energy storage. The
compressed air energy storage system comprises a compression unit, an energy storage unit, an expansion unit and an energy supplementing unit, the compression unit is a
cascade type compression mechanism, the expansion unit is a
cascade type expansion mechanism, the number of the compressors is the same as that of the expansion machines, and the energy storage unit receives compressed air output by the last-stage compressor and outputs the compressed air into the primary expansion
machine; the energy complementing unit comprises energy complementing assemblies formed by connecting an air
storage tank and a third
heat exchanger in series, each stage of compressor located before the last stage communicates with each stage of expansion
machine located after the first stage through one set of energy complementing assemblies, and part of compressed air output by the compressors is input into the air
storage tank through
branch pipelines. The compressed air in the air
storage tank is mixed with the compressed air output by the self-expansion
machine after being subjected to heat exchange through the third
heat exchanger, and the temperature of the compressed air output by the third
heat exchanger is higher than that of the compressed air output by the self-expansion machine. According to the utility model, the
electricity-
electricity conversion efficiency of the
system can be effectively improved.
