[0002] Compressed gas energy storage is a storage technology that uses low-peak electricity to store compressed air and uses peak electricity to release compressed air to generate electricity. Compressed gas energy storage must have a physical body to store high-pressure air. Many engineering projects have proved that salt cavern gas storage has good sealing, stability and rheology, and is suitable for compressed gas energy storage.
[0003] Traditional gas seal monitoring technology relies on neutron source logging methods to measure the position of the gas-liquid interface, reflecting the gas pressure state and sealing. The traditional method has three disadvantages. First, it ignores the impact of tidal changes on the entire gas-liquid pressure system, which may cause data misjudgment; second, it relies too much on neutron source logging methods to measure the position and changes of the gas-liquid interface, which cannot be implemented without neutron source logging; third, the implementation method is complicated and requires continuous manual operation for measurement.
[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to develop and design an innovative system technical method for monitoring the air tightness of the salt cavern cavity with compressed gas energy storage, to measure the air tightness performance of the salt cavern cavity, to provide quantitative standards, to improve monitoring efficiency, and to facilitate operation and execution.
