Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a configuration method, in particular to a configuration method for a standardized BIM software working environment of a gravity energy storage device, belonging to the technical field of gravity energy storage. Background Art

[0002] Gravity energy storage systems primarily replace water with customized composite blocks or "mobile blocks," stacking blocks to store potential energy and lowering the blocks back to the ground to release energy. This system is completely unaffected by the harsh geological conditions of pumped-storage power stations. Furthermore, these blocks can be made from low-cost and locally sourced materials, including local soil, mine tailings, coal combustion residues (coal ash), and scrapped and retired wind turbine blades. Compared to electrochemical energy storage and pumped storage, gravity energy storage has the advantages of low cost, scalability, strong flexibility, long life, and environmental safety. Furthermore, its system's full life cycle electricity cost is lower than that of pumped storage and electrochemical energy storage. At the same time, the modular and flexible design provides a time-sustaining function that can meet market demand for longer discharge durations while also addressing issues such as geological limitations and ecological damage.

[0003] BIM technology has made significant progress in China. As an information-based and visual design tool, it can achieve technical advantages such as information transmission, visualization, and simulation that traditional two-dimensional CAD drawing design cannot achieve. Therefore, in the design process of gravity energy storage devices, combining the technical advantages of BIM design can achieve the advantages of high efficiency, collaboration, visual simulation, and digital information-assisted design. It can also bring standardization and rapid auxiliary calculation and simulation to gravity energy storage devices, thereby improving design efficiency.

[0004] At present, there are the following main problems in the design environment configuration of gravity energy storage devices: (1) A standardized BIM software design environment for gravity energy storage devices is needed to improve BIM design efficiency; (2) Most equipment models are only three-dimensional models and do not contain other gravity energy storage customization information; (3) The equipment model establishment cycle in the BIM design process is long and the reuse rate is low; (4) There is no unified legend for the two-dimensional drawing of the equipment model; (5) The customization capability of the BIM software design environment is insufficient.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a standardized BIM software working environment configuration method for gravity energy storage devices. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for configuring a standardized BIM software working environment for a gravity energy storage device, thereby improving the BIM design efficiency of the gravity energy storage device.

After the composite unit management function is turned on, the components of the gravity energy storage device are divided into mechanism groups according to different types (such as dynamic mechanism operating equipment, charging and discharging equipment, and energy storage units), and a composite unit library corresponding to each type of mechanism group is created.

[0063] The process of creating a composite unit library is as follows: click File and select New Unit Library.

[0090] 6.2. In the Connection Definition window, first select the file in the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i Ss6\AECOsimBuildingDesigner\datagroupsystem\ParaDef. This file is used to associate the gravity energy storage device DGN model file in the composite unit library.

[0091] 6.3. After completion, redefine the connection and connect the previously created attribute definition group file of the gravity energy storage device mechanism group. The target file is the directory type created in step S4.

[0092] 6.4. After completion, check whether the connection definition file is correct and click OK to complete the definition loading.

[0093] S7. Create a new gravity energy storage device model.

[0094] After loading the gravity energy storage device catalog type properties, return to the Data Group Catalog Editor interface and create catalogs for each type of mechanism group. For example, create catalogs for different types of gravity storage devices, such as dynamic mechanism operating devices, charging and discharging devices, and energy storage units. Once completed, create device models for each type of mechanism group. For example, for Dynamic Mechanism Operating Devices, right-click Dynamic Mechanism Operating Devices in the Gravity Energy Storage Device catalog type and select New Model. A New Model pop-up window will appear. Add the names of the dynamic mechanism operating devices you want to create one by one, and complete the model addition for all dynamic mechanism operating device models.
