Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to renewable energy storage technology, and in particular to a site selection assessment method for underwater compressed air energy storage systems. Background Technology
[0002] To mitigate fluctuations in wind power grid connection, supporting energy storage systems have become an indispensable technology. Among these, compressed air energy storage has attracted significant attention due to its advantages such as high capacity scalability and long lifespan. Traditional compressed air energy storage relies on underground salt caverns or hard rock caverns to store high-pressure air, but the lack of such geological conditions in the offshore environment has driven the rapid development of underwater compressed air energy storage technology. This technology uses deep-sea hydrostatic pressure to replace the pressure of the surrounding rock in caverns, storing compressed air in flexible underwater gas storage devices. It combines environmental adaptability with engineering flexibility and is suitable for offshore wind farms.
[0003] The deployment of Underwater Compressed Air Energy Storage (UWCAES) systems relies heavily on scientific site selection. On one hand, marine geological and hydrological conditions directly impact storage safety: a hard seabed reduces foundation reinforcement costs, and a stable ocean current environment helps extend equipment lifespan. On the other hand, the need for coordinated planning of wind power and energy storage is urgent, requiring consideration of multiple factors such as offshore distance and operational economics. However, current technologies generally treat wind farms and energy storage systems as independent entities, failing to quantitatively couple and evaluate the dynamic characteristics of wind power output with the physical response capabilities of the underwater energy storage system during the site selection phase. This results in site selection outcomes that cannot guarantee the energy storage system's ability to effectively track wind power output and achieve efficient energy absorption. Summary of the Invention

[0084] If CR < 0.1, then the judgment matrix A passes the consistency test; otherwise, it fails, and the judgment matrix A needs to be reconstructed and the consistency test needs to be performed again on the new judgment matrix.
[0085] Subjective weights are calculated using the eigenvalue method; the eigenvector corresponding to the largest eigenvalue of the judgment matrix A is calculated. Then, normalization is performed to obtain the subjective weight vector of the primary indicator. Furthermore, the weights of the secondary indicators under the primary indicators are the same as those of the primary indicators. After uniformizing all secondary indicators, the subjective weights of the secondary indicators determined by the analytic hierarchy process are obtained. .
[0086] Specifically, the steps for calculating the comprehensive weight based on the dynamic weight allocation rule and scoring each site selection scheme are as follows:

[0090] ;
[0091] In the formula, This represents the power output of a typical wind farm during the t-hour period of a day. This represents the average daily output of a typical offshore wind farm.
[0092] when When defined as a high-fluctuation working condition, it is necessary to increase the weight of geological conditions and marine environment, and reduce the weight of construction cost;
[0093] For indicator j that needs to be dynamically adjusted, its adjusted weight is:
[0094] ;
[0095] In the formula, This is the matrix before adjustment; Benchmark volatility; The adjustment amplitude coefficient represents the maximum allowable change in the weight. The maximum design volatility is the maximum allowable volatility for offshore wind power design.
[0096] right Normalization is performed to obtain the final indicator weights;
[0097] when When defined as a low-fluctuation operating condition, the original combined weight result is maintained;
[0098] Each site selection scheme is scored based on a standardized evaluation matrix and weighted combinations of indicators, and the scheme with the highest score is selected as the optimal site selection scheme.
[0099] The present invention has the following advantages:
[0100] 1. By quantitatively coupling the dynamic output of wind power with the physical response of underwater energy storage during the site selection phase, the fundamental defect of traditional methods in being unable to assess the dynamic matching degree of "source-storage" is solved, and the ability of the site selection scheme to absorb offshore wind power is significantly improved.
