TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of compressed air energy storage power station heat storage, in particular to a compressed air energy storage system using high-pressure high-temperature hot water storage and a method for operating the same. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the construction of more and more large new energy bases, the fluctuation of wind and light has a great impact on the power quality of the power transmission end. Compared with traditional electrochemical energy storage, compressed air energy storage has the advantages of high safety, large adjustable capacity and rotational inertia. Therefore, if compressed air energy storage is constructed in large new energy bases, it has a positive significance for the power transmission of the entire energy base, can greatly improve the power grid consumption capacity of new energy and reduce the phenomenon of abandoned wind and light.
[0003] Compressed air energy storage is in a rapid development stage, and the control strategy research of compressed air energy storage in China is still mostly in the theoretical research stage, and the control problem of heat storage type compressed air energy storage cannot be fully solved in actual operation.
[0004] At present, there are two technical routes for non-replenishment compressed air energy storage power stations, which are called isothermal compression scheme and adiabatic compression scheme. The isothermal compression scheme uses 120 DEG C low-pressure hot water for heat storage, and the adiabatic compression scheme uses 330 DEG C heat-conducting oil for heat storage. With the increase of heat storage temperature, the overall efficiency of the power station is improved.
[0005] However, with the increase of unit capacity, if high-temperature heat-conducting oil is used for heat storage, the capacity of heat-conducting oil required is huge, and the investment is too high. If 120 DEG C low-temperature hot water is used for heat storage, the overall efficiency of the power station is low.
[0006] For heat storage using high-temperature hot water, not only can the investment of the heat storage system be greatly reduced, but also the compressed air energy storage power station can maintain a high efficiency. In order to ensure that the high-temperature hot water is in a liquid state and avoid overheating, the heat storage tank needs to maintain a high pressure. If no pressurization measures are taken, as the water level in the hot water tank decreases, the pressure in the tank decreases, and the hot water will boil, affecting the safety of the system. If high-pressure air is used to maintain the pressure in the hot water tank, it will cause a large waste of high-pressure air and energy waste.
[0007] Based on the above situation, the present application provides a compressed air energy storage system using high-pressure high-temperature hot water storage and a method for operating the same, which can effectively solve the above problems. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0046] To help those skilled in the art better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with specific examples. However, it should be understood that the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting this patent. To better illustrate this embodiment, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the dimensions of actual products. For those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings. The positional relationships described in the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting this patent.
[0047] The following is combined with Figures 1-9 The present invention is further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but is not intended to limit the present invention.
[0048] Example 1
[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a compressed air energy storage system that uses high-pressure, high-temperature hot water for heat storage. The compressed air energy storage system includes a compressor 1, an expander 2, a heat exchanger 3, an air storage system 4, and a high-temperature hot water heat storage and release system 5. The present invention adopts a multi-stage compression system and a multi-stage expansion system. That is, this embodiment preferably uses four compressors 1 and three expanders 2. The four compressors 1 are connected in series to the inlet of the air storage system 4, and a heat exchanger 3 is connected to the outlet of each compressor 1. The three expanders 2 are connected in series to the outlet of the air storage system 4, and a heat exchanger 3 is connected to the inlet of each expander 2. The high-temperature hot water heat storage and release system 5 is used to store heat generated during air compression and release heat required for air expansion.
[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the high-temperature hot water storage and release system 5 includes a hot water storage tank 51 and a cold water storage tank 52. The cold water storage tank 52 and the hot water storage tank 51 are connected to each other through a gas connecting pipe 53. The input end of the gas connecting pipe 53 is connected to the gas supply mechanism 54. The gas supply mechanism 54 is used to provide high-pressure gas to the cold water storage tank 52 and the hot water storage tank 51 through the gas connecting pipe 53 and maintain the air pressure in the tank; the cold water storage tank 52 and the hot water storage tank 51 are connected through two sets of water delivery systems 55. The two sets of water delivery systems 55 include water delivery pipes 551 and water pumps 552. In this embodiment, the water pump 552 adopts a one-way water pump 5521, that is, one of the one-way water pumps 5521 pumps water from the hot water storage tank 51 through a group of heat exchangers 3 to the cold water storage tank 52, and the other one-way water pump 5521 pumps water from the cold water storage tank 52 through another group of heat exchangers 3 to the hot water storage tank 51. Figure 2 The number of heat exchangers 3 is only partially shown as an example, and the specific number can be determined according to actual needs.
[0051] Both the hot water tank 51 and the cold water tank 52 utilize a large, pressure-bearing structure of equal capacity, preferably a spherical tank. Safety valves are located above the hot water tank 51 and the cold water tank 52 to ensure the pressure within the tank remains below a safe level. Nitrogen is preferred as the high-pressure gas, but high-pressure air may also be used.
[0052] The output end of the gas connecting pipe 53 is connected to the top of the hot water storage tank 51 and the cold water storage tank 52 respectively, and the water inlet and outlet of the water pipe 551 are connected to the bottom of the hot water storage tank 51 and the cold water storage tank 52 respectively.
[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the air supply mechanism 54 adopts an air compressor, which can inflate the hot water storage tank 51 and the cold water storage tank 52 according to the air pressure drop in the tank to maintain the air pressure in the tank. The real-time air pressure data can be monitored by a pressure sensor (not shown in the figure, conventional options in this field can be used).
[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, valves 566 are installed on the water pipe 551 near the cold water storage tank 52 and the hot water storage tank 51, on the delivery pipe near the water pump 552, and on the gas connecting pipe 53 near the gas supply mechanism 54.
[0055] like Figure 9 As shown, within the range of 50-180°C, as the temperature rises, the corresponding saturated pressure value changes very little; after exceeding 180°C, the corresponding saturated pressure value rises sharply, and the pressure bearing requirements of the storage tank are very high. Taking into account the investment and power plant efficiency, and based on the physical properties of water and steam, the present invention proposes a solution using 180°C high-temperature hot water for heat storage. The saturated pressure corresponding to 180°C hot water is 1MPa, which is the most economical at this time and can ensure that the hot water does not boil. In this embodiment, in order to ensure the safe operation of the system equipment, the maximum pressure bearing value of the cold water storage tank 52 and the hot water storage tank 51 is increased to 1.6MPa, and the maximum temperature bearing value of the hot water storage tank 51 is increased to above 180°C.
[0056] This embodiment further provides an operating method for a compressed air energy storage system using high-pressure, high-temperature hot water for heat storage. The compressed air energy storage system using high-pressure, high-temperature hot water for heat storage in the above-mentioned solution is pre-assembled. The operating method includes:
[0057] 1) Preparation:
[0058] Before the system is put into operation, water is first injected into the cold water tank 52 and the water pipe 551. Then, the gas supply mechanism 54 is activated to input high-pressure gas into the cold water tank 52 and the hot water tank 51 so that the gas pressure in the tank reaches a pressure setting value of 1 MPa or above. After the system is put into operation, when the gas pressure drops, the gas supply mechanism 54 is automatically activated to replenish the system with gas to maintain the gas pressure at or above the pressure setting value of 1 MPa.
[0059] 2) Energy storage and heat storage process:
[0060] The first stage compressor 1 is started to compress air to high pressure, and the temperature of the air is increased during the compression process. The air is cooled by the heat exchanger 3 and then enters the next stage compressor 1 for re-compression. In this way, the air is compressed in multiple stages until the air is stored in the air storage system 4, and the conversion from electric energy to air pressure energy is completed. At the same time, the water pump 552 is started to deliver the low-temperature cold water in the cold water storage tank 52 to the heat exchanger 3 to cool the high-temperature air. The air is heated to a high-temperature set value of 180°C and then sent to the hot water storage tank 51 for storage. The high-pressure gas in the hot water storage tank 51 flows to the cold water storage tank 52 through the gas communication pipe 53 as the water level rises. At the end of the heat storage process, the water level in the cold water storage tank 52 drops to the protection water level, and the upper part is replaced by high-pressure gas.
[0061] 3) Energy release and heat release process:
[0062] The compressed air is released from the air storage system 4, and the compressed air is heated by the heat exchanger 3 and then enters the first stage expander 2 to expand and do work. After the work of the compressed air is completed, the compressed air is heated by the heat exchanger 3 and then enters the next stage expander 2 to expand and do work. In this way, the compressed air is expanded in multiple stages until it is discharged into the atmosphere, and the conversion from pressure energy to electric energy is completed. At the same time, the water pump 552 is started to deliver the high-temperature hot water in the hot water storage tank 51 to the heat exchanger 3 to heat the gas. The hot water is cooled to a low-temperature set value of 50°C and then sent to the cold water storage tank 52 for storage. The high-pressure gas in the cold water storage tank 52 flows to the hot water storage tank 51 through the gas communication pipe 53 as the water level rises. At the end of the heat release process, the water level in the hot water storage tank 51 drops to the protection water level, and the upper part is replaced by high-pressure gas.
[0063] The above steps 2) and 3) are repeated to realize the storage and release of electric energy and heat.
[0064] The water in the cold water storage tank 52 and the water in the water delivery pipe 551 is desalted water or tap water. The air in the water delivery pipe 551 needs to be evacuated, and the water level in the cold water storage tank 52 is not less than the protection water level.
[0065] Valves are installed near the inlets and outlets of the heat exchangers. When any one of the heat exchangers is working, the valves at the inlets and outlets of the other heat exchangers are closed.
[0066] Example Two
[0067] As Figure 3As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the high-temperature hot water storage and release system 5 of this embodiment is equipped with three hot water storage tanks 51 and three cold water storage tanks 52. Properly increasing the number of hot water storage tanks 51 and cold water storage tanks 52 can increase the overall energy and heat storage capacity of the system, thereby improving energy and heat storage efficiency. Specifically, to supply water between the three hot water storage tanks 51 and the three cold water storage tanks 52, three one-way water pumps 5521 are installed on each set of water pipes 551 to improve water delivery efficiency. That is, a one-way water pump 5521 is installed for each hot water storage tank 51 and each cold water storage tank 52.
[0068] Example 3
[0069] like Figure 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the high-temperature hot water storage and release system 5 of this embodiment is only provided with one set of water delivery systems 55. Specifically, the water pump 552 of this embodiment adopts a bidirectional water pump 5522, which can be used to pump water from the hot water storage tank 51 through the heat exchanger 3 to the cold water storage tank 52 through the water delivery pipe 551, and to pump water from the cold water storage tank 52 through the heat exchanger 3 to the hot water storage tank 51, and the water delivery direction can be switched.
[0070] like Figure 5 As shown, accordingly, the compressor 1 and expander 2 in the compressed air energy storage system of this embodiment are connected in parallel and share a set of heat exchangers 3, that is: when the compressor 1 is working, the inlet and outlet of the expander 2 are closed; when the expander 2 is working, the inlet and outlet of the compressor 1 are closed; valves are installed at the inlets and outlets of the compressor 1 and the expander 2.
[0071] Example 4
[0072] like Figure 6 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the third embodiment is that the high-temperature hot water storage and release system 5 of this embodiment is provided with three hot water storage tanks 51 and three cold water storage tanks 52. The three hot water storage tanks 51 and the three cold water storage tanks 52 are arranged at intervals and are all on the same horizontal plane. This can appropriately increase the number of hot water storage tanks 51 and cold water storage tanks 52 to improve the overall energy storage and heat storage capacity of the system, thereby improving energy storage and heat storage efficiency. Specifically, in order to supply water between the three hot water storage tanks 51 and the three cold water storage tanks 52, three bidirectional water pumps 5522 are provided on the water pipe 551 to improve water delivery efficiency. That is, each hot water storage tank 51 is provided with a corresponding bidirectional water pump 5522.
[0073] Example 5
[0074] like Figure 7 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that the cold water storage tank 52 and the hot water storage tank 51 of this embodiment both adopt C-shaped horizontal tanks, which are suitable for heat storage systems with smaller volume requirements.
[0075] Embodiment six
[0076] As Figure 8 shown, the embodiment is different from embodiment one in that the embodiment is configured with an air cooling system on the multi-stage compression system, the air cooling system comprising an air cooler 6 and a cooling tower 7 in communication with the air cooler, the air cooler being connected between the outlet of the heat exchanger and the inlet of the next compressor, for further reducing the temperature of the air coming out of the heat exchanger, so that the high-temperature exhaust gas of each stage enters the next stage after being cooled by the cooling water, thereby improving the compression efficiency.
[0077] According to the description and drawings of the present application, a person skilled in the art can easily manufacture or use the compressed air energy storage system using high-pressure high-temperature hot water and the operation method thereof, and can produce the positive effects described in the present application.

8. A method for operating a compressed air energy storage system using high-pressure, high-temperature hot water for heat storage, characterized in that: The running method of the compressed air energy storage system using high-pressure high-temperature hot water storage according to any one of claims 1-7 comprises: 1) preparation work: Before the system is running, first inject water into the cold water storage tank (52) and water pipe (551), and then start the gas supply mechanism (54) to input high pressure gas into the cold water storage tank (52) and the hot water storage tank (51) so that the gas pressure in the tank reaches above the pressure set value; after the subsequent system is running, when the gas pressure decreases, the gas supply mechanism (54) is automatically started to supplement the gas to the system and maintain the gas pressure not lower than the pressure set value; 2) Energy storage and heat storage process: Start the first stage compressor (1) to compress air to high pressure, and the air temperature rises during the compression process. After being cooled by the heat exchanger (3), the air enters the next stage compressor (1) for re-compression. In this way, the air is compressed in multiple stages until it is stored in the gas storage system (4), completing the conversion of electric energy to air pressure energy. At the same time, start the water pump (552) to deliver the low-temperature cold water in the cold water storage tank (52) to the heat exchanger (3) to be heated to a high temperature set value, and then sent to the hot water storage tank (51) for storage. The high-pressure gas in the hot water storage tank (51) flows into the cold water storage tank (52) through the gas communication pipe (53) as the water level rises. When the heat storage process is completed, the water level in the cold water storage tank (52) drops to the protection water level, and the upper part is replaced by high-pressure gas; 3) Energy release and heat release process: Release the compressed air from the gas storage system (4), and after being heated by the heat exchanger (3), the compressed air enters the first stage expander (2) to expand and do work. After the work of the compressed air is completed, it is heated by the heat exchanger (3) again and then enters the next stage expander (2) to expand and do work. In this way, the compressed air is expanded in multiple stages until it is discharged into the atmosphere, completing the conversion of pressure energy to electric energy. At the same time, start the water pump (552) to deliver the high-temperature hot water in the hot water storage tank (51) to the heat exchanger (3) to heat the gas. After the hot water is cooled to a low temperature set value, it is sent to the cold water storage tank (52) for storage. The high-pressure gas in the cold water storage tank (52) flows into the hot water storage tank (51) through the gas communication pipe (53) as the water level rises. When the heat release process is completed, the water level in the hot water storage tank (51) drops to the protection water level, and the upper part is replaced by high-pressure gas; Repeat steps 2) and 3) above to cyclically store and release electric energy and heat.
