Abstract

The invention discloses a supercritical air energy storage/release system with a novel process. The off-peak (low price) electricity of the power station is adopted by the system to compress the air to a supercritical state (simultaneously store the heat of compression), an expansion machine is utilized to cool the air, simultaneously the work of expansion is recycled to drive a first-stage compressor to improve the system efficiency, and the stored cold energy is utilized to cool, liquefy and store (store the energy) the supercritical air; at a peak of electricity consumption, the liquid air is compressed and absorbs heat to be supercritical (simultaneously recycles the cold energy), further after absorbing the compression heat or the other industrial exhaust heat, the solar energy central heating and the like, the liquid air drives the generator to generate electricity (release energy) through a turbine. The supercritical air energy storage system disclosed by the invention has the advantages of having high energy density and high efficiency, being free from limitation of the energy storage period and the geography condition, being suitable for a variety of power stations (including regenerative energy power stations such as wind energy), being environment-friendly, being capable of recycling the middle-low temperature (heat value) waste heat, and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of energy storage, in particular to a supercritical air energy storage / release system of a novel process. Background technique [0002] Power energy storage technology is currently an important means to adjust the peak and valley of the power grid and improve the economy and stability of the power system. It is one of the most important bottlenecks restricting the large-scale utilization of unstable and intermittent renewable energy. The key technology of power grid. At present, the existing electric energy storage technologies include pumped storage power stations, compressed air, storage batteries, superconducting magnetic energy, flywheels and capacitors. However, due to capacity, energy storage period, energy density, charge and discharge efficiency, lifespan, operating costs, environmental protection and other reasons, only pumped hydropower stations and compressed air have been used in large-scale com...
