Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of compressed air energy storage, and more specifically, to an in-situ test device and experimental method for surrounding rock deformation of a storage power station cavern. Background Art
[0002] Compressed air energy storage is a technology that compresses and stores air and releases it for power generation during peak electricity consumption periods. Its core components include a compression system, a turbine system, a heat exchange system, and a storage device. The operating principle of this system is that during off-peak electricity consumption, a compressor is used to compress air and store it in an underground gas storage cavern; during peak electricity consumption, the compressed air is released, and electric energy is generated by the expansion machine to supply power to users.
[0003] Currently, large-scale caverns mainly include five types: depleted oil and gas reservoirs, underground aquifers, abandoned mines, abandoned salt caverns, and artificial-lined caverns. However, there are fractures and a large amount of hydrocarbons in depleted oil and gas reservoirs, and the contact of air may lead to the formation of flammable and explosive substances; underground aquifers contain impurities such as sand and gravel, which may damage equipment; abandoned mines are usually in soft rock formations, and the stability of the surrounding rock is poor; abandoned salt caverns have a large volume and natural sealing characteristics, and the construction cost is relatively low. Compared with abandoned salt caverns, although the construction cost of artificial-lined caverns is slightly higher, the site selection is more flexible, so they have broad application prospects.
[0004] The mechanical response of the surrounding rock of the cavern and the law of surrounding rock deformation are the core factors affecting the stability of the rock-lined cavern. During the operation period of the power station, due to the frequent and rapid charging and discharging of air in the underground cavern, the surrounding rock is under the action of long-term loads. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the long-term mechanical response and stability of the surrounding rock of the cavern. The time-dependent mechanical model of rock is the basic basis and key component for the long-term stability analysis of underground caverns, which can describe the long-term deformation law of rock and be used for the calculation of the long-term mechanical response of the surrounding rock of the cavern. Summary of the Invention
