Problems solved by technology

The traditional compressed air energy storage technology uses ambient air as the working medium. When the air is compressed to a higher pressure, the design of system components such as turbomachinery and heat exchangers will be complicated and difficult, resulting in a large system scale and high cost. higher
In addition, since the air needs to be compressed to a higher pressure (not lower than 40atm) for storage, the system requires a larger volume of underground gas storage chamber or subsea chamber as a storage space to achieve constant volume storage or constant pressure storage, and once the gas is stored The cavity is determined, the energy storage / energy release mode of the compressed air energy storage system is determined and cannot be changed
This makes the traditional compressed air energy storage technology not only have the defects of difficult design, high cost, and complex structure, but also has a certain impact on the environment, and the development and selection of key components such as underground gas storage chambers or seabed cavities have greatly improved. System cost, the single operation mode at the same time causes the operability and flexibility of the compressed air energy storage system to be poor

Abstract

The invention discloses a compressed air energy storage system using carbon dioxide as a working medium. The system utilizes the supercritical characteristic of carbon dioxide and the state change characteristic of the carbon dioxide near the critical point, and the assistance by the conditions of outside environments (such as underground and seabed cavities) is not needed, so the switching of the energy storage system among constant-pressure energy storage, constant-pressure energy releasing, constant-capacity energy storage and constant-capacity energy releasing is realized, and the different types of power storage and releasing can be realized. The system utilizes the characteristic of the carbon diode which is converted from the gas state into the supercritical or liquid state, so the carbon dioxide is stored, and compared with the gas storage, the complicated degree and design difficulty of the system are effectively reduced, and the cost of the energy storage system is reduced. Meanwhile, the double-storage device method is adopted, the switching of the system between energy storage and energy releasing is flexibly completed without utilizing the assistance by the outside environments (such as underground and seabed cavities), the energy storage and energy releasing characteristics of the system are changed by controlling the carbon dioxide storage / releasing method, and the flexibility of the system is enhanced. The system can be used together with the renewable energy sources, such as solar energy and wind energy, so the generation of other pollutants is avoided, and the environment-friendly characteristic is good.

Description

technical field [0001] This system belongs to the field of optimized utilization of energy storage technology. Specifically, it is based on compressed air energy storage technology, adopts a double storage structure, and uses the state change characteristics of carbon dioxide near the critical point to achieve constant pressure or constant volume. Energy storage / energy release mode and an energy storage system that completes switching between the two. Background technique [0002] Since the Industrial Revolution, human beings have had a strong dependence on traditional energy sources such as coal and oil. However, due to the increasing carbon dioxide emissions caused by the use of traditional energy sources, the resulting greenhouse effect has seriously affected the living environment of human beings. In order to reduce the pollution of carbon dioxide to the environment, carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS for short) technology is mostly used for the large amount of carb...
