[0012] A novel working method of a compressed air and hydrogen energy storage coupling system comprises the following steps:

[0013] S1: When the power grid is at a low point, energy is stored using a coupled system of compressed air and hydrogen energy storage.

[0014] S2: When the grid is at peak power demand, a coupled system of compressed air and hydrogen energy storage is used to release energy.

[0015] Furthermore, step S1 is specifically as follows:

[0016] First, the compressed air energy storage process is started first, and the air compressor is driven by an electric motor. The air at normal temperature and pressure is compressed to a high temperature and high pressure state in the air compressor, and the high temperature and high pressure air is input into the first heat exchanger through the first inlet of the first heat exchanger. The first pump body inputs the low temperature heat transfer oil in the cold storage tank into the first heat exchanger through the second inlet of the first heat exchanger. The high temperature and high pressure air exchanges heat with the low temperature heat transfer oil. After absorbing the heat of the air, the low temperature heat transfer oil is input into the heat storage tank from the second outlet of the first heat exchanger for storage.

After passing through the hydrogen compressor, the hydrogen is converted into a high-temperature and high-pressure state. The high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogen is input into the fourth heat exchanger to exchange heat with cooling water, and the cooled high-pressure hydrogen is input into the hydrogen storage tank for storage; the oxygen outlet of the electrolyzer inputs the high-temperature oxygen into the fifth heat exchanger to exchange heat with cooling water, and the cooled oxygen is input into the oxygen storage tank for storage, and the cooling water absorbs heat in the heat exchanger and converts to a high-temperature state, and the high-temperature hot water is input into the hot water tank for storage.

[0018] Furthermore, step S2 is specifically as follows:

[0019] First, the compressed air energy release process is started. The normal temperature and high pressure air at the outlet of the air storage tank is input into the second heat exchanger. A part of the high temperature heat transfer oil in the heat storage tank is input into the second inlet of the second heat exchanger through the second pump body. The high pressure air absorbs the heat of the high temperature heat transfer oil and is heated to a high temperature and high pressure state. After the high temperature heat transfer oil exchanges heat with the air, it is input into the cold storage tank for storage.

The heated hydrogen is input into the hydrogen inlet of the hydrogen fuel cell, and the high-temperature hot water is input into the cold water tank for storage after heat exchange.

[0021] The oxygen at the outlet of the oxygen storage tank and the low-pressure air discharged from the air expander are input into the mixer to increase the pressure and oxygen concentration of the air inlet of the hydrogen fuel cell. At the same time, the pressure reducing valve is opened. The mixed gas passes through the pressure reducing valve and the stable mixed gas is input into the hydrogen fuel cell. The hydrogen and oxygen undergo an electrochemical reaction in the hydrogen fuel cell and are converted into electrical energy. The generated water is input into the clean water tank through the seventh pump body for recycling. The waste heat during the operation of the hydrogen fuel cell is absorbed by the fifth pump body to absorb the cooling water in the cold water tank. The cooling water is converted into a high temperature state after absorbing heat in the hydrogen fuel cell, and the generated high-temperature hot water is input into the hot water tank for storage.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. Recycle the heat energy generated during the system's energy storage process, and use the stored heat energy to heat air and hydrogen during the energy release process, thereby improving the work capacity of high-pressure air and hydrogen. The system mixes the exhaust of the air expander with oxygen, eliminating the air compressor in front of the hydrogen fuel cell. At the same time, the increased oxygen concentration in the mixed gas can improve the power generation performance of the hydrogen fuel cell. Using this new type of compressed air and hydrogen energy storage coupling system can not only improve the system's capacity utilization and shorten the response time, but also efficiently assist the power grid in peak load shaving and valley filling.

[0024] 2. Use the high-temperature heat energy recovered from the compressed air energy storage process to heat the high-pressure air and hydrogen before the expander; and use the heat energy recovered from the hydrogen energy storage process to heat the hydrogen after work, thereby increasing the inlet temperature of the hydrogen and improving the working conditions at the hydrogen inlet of the hydrogen fuel cell.

[0025] 3. Start compressed air energy storage first and then hydrogen energy storage, and recover and utilize the heat during the system operation process through multiple stages, shortening the cold start time of system equipment, improving the conditions of system equipment, and improving energy conversion efficiency. In addition, this coupling system working mode can increase the system's power generation, improve the stability of grid operation, and thus optimize the allocation of power resources.
