Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of compressed air storage power station technology, and in particular to a method for calculating the blowdown coefficient of a compressed air storage power station using the pressure stabilization method. Background Technology

[0002] Renewable energy sources, such as wind power and photovoltaic power, are accelerating the low-carbon transformation of my country's energy structure. However, the intermittency and instability of wind power and photovoltaic power urgently require large-scale energy storage to ensure the stable operation of the energy grid.

[0003] Compressed air energy storage (CAES) technology boasts advantages such as large capacity, long operating cycle, high efficiency, low cost, high safety factor, and good economic performance. It is a promising new energy storage technology suitable for large-scale deployment. The basic principle of CAES is that during off-peak electricity demand periods, a compressor consumes excess electrical energy (such as off-peak electricity, wind power curtailment, and solar power curtailment) to compress air to high pressure and store it in air tanks or underground cavities. During peak electricity demand periods, the high-pressure air is released and converted into electrical energy through a specially constructed turbine, thereby achieving peak shaving and valley filling of the power grid and improving grid stability and reliability.

[0004] Compared to conventional thermal power generation systems, compressed air energy storage systems are much larger, with larger and heavier pipelines, numerous heat exchangers, and greater installation and construction challenges. During the manufacturing, transportation, storage, and installation processes, various impurities (such as iron filings, rust, welding slag, sand, and scale) can remain in the pipelines of compressed air energy storage power generation systems, posing significant safety hazards to the subsequent stable operation of the unit. Therefore, purging the pipelines of compressed air energy storage power generation systems to remove residual impurities and ensure the safe startup of the unit has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0005] Defects and shortcomings of existing technology:

[0006] 1. Compressed air energy storage power stations are still in the development stage. Currently, the ones already in operation are all small-capacity compressed air energy storage power stations with relatively simple pipelines. Their pipeline purging processes are also relatively simple, and the purging coefficient is not strictly controlled. Therefore, it is particularly important to invent a new method for calculating the purging coefficient of large-scale compressed air energy storage power stations.

[0007] 2. Currently, most thermal power generating units use the pressure reduction method for purging. However, this method involves numerous pressure reduction purging cycles with short effective times and durations. Furthermore, each purging cycle causes a rapid change in pressure and temperature, resulting in a stress cycle that leads to hidden lifespan losses for pipeline components. Therefore, for large-scale compressed air energy storage power stations, it is of great significance to develop a method for calculating the purging coefficient using the pressure stabilization method to control the entire purging process. Summary of the Invention

[0008] This invention provides a method for calculating the blow-out coefficient of compressed air energy storage power stations using the pressure stabilization method. Combining the characteristics of large-scale compressed air energy storage power stations, it designs a method for calculating the air momentum at the calculation point under blow-out conditions, as well as a formula for calculating the blow-out coefficient. This fills the gap in the calculation method of the blow-out coefficient of compressed air energy storage power stations and provides a scientific basis for parameter control during the blow-out process of large-scale compressed air energy storage power stations.

[0017] Furthermore, the density of the air during the blowdown process is based on the air temperature T during the blowdown process. b and air pressure P b Perform corrective calculations.

[0018] Furthermore, the rated operating air flow rate of the compressor is the rated operating air flow rate designed for the compressor.

[0019] Furthermore, in the step of obtaining the compressor's rated operating air flow rate and calculating the blow-through coefficient using the pressure stabilization method based on the compressor's rated operating air flow rate, blow-through air flow rate, blow-through air pressure, and blow-through air temperature, the calculation formula is as follows:

[0022] Furthermore, in the actual blowing process, if the blowing coefficient at a certain point is less than 1, the pressure or temperature at that point is adjusted to make the blowing coefficient greater than 1.

[0023] The present invention also provides a calculation device for the blowdown coefficient of the pressure stabilization method in a compressed air storage power station, comprising:

[0024] The acquisition module is used to acquire the volumetric flow rate and density of air under the blowing operation condition, as well as the air pressure and air temperature under the blowing operation condition.
