Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of leak detection, and particularly relates to a protective film, an underground space electrolyte storage device, a preparation method thereof, a leak detection system and a leak detection method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] High proportion of renewable energy puts higher requirements on the flexible adjustment capability of the power system, and a large number of energy storage systems need to be matched to ensure the stability of the power grid.

[0003] As a new generation of energy storage technology, the flow battery and the electric fuel energy storage system have been widely concerned due to good scalability, high safety and long service life. The electrolyte of the flow battery and the electric fuel energy storage system is mostly a liquid solution containing ions. Limited by the solubility of active substances, the energy density of the electrolyte is generally low, and a large space and land cost are required for storage on the ground. In addition, the electrolyte is rich in acid, alkali or heavy metal ions. Once the liquid storage tank leaks, not only the metal protection cavity of the system (such as the electrolyte tank support layer, the pipeline support and the outer shell of the stack container) will be corroded, but also the surrounding environment will be polluted. In addition, the temperature of the ground environment changes greatly in four seasons and day and night. In order to prevent the precipitation or denaturation decomposition of active substances due to too high or too low temperature, the electrolyte needs to be maintained at a certain temperature. When the temperature is high, the liquid storage tank needs to be cooled (depending on the cooling system), and when the temperature is low, the liquid storage tank needs to be heated (depending on the heating system), which consumes a lot of energy. The use of underground space such as salt caverns and caves to store liquid flow and electrolyte of the electric fuel energy storage system can alleviate the pressure of land space on the ground, prevent the influence of electrolyte leakage on the surrounding environment, and reduce the energy consumption of electrolyte temperature control, which has great development prospects.

[0004] Currently, there are the following problems in directly storing the electrolyte of the flow battery and the electric fuel system in the underground space: first, the rock wall of the underground space is rich in iron oxide, aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, clay, carbonate or silicate (such as the main chemical composition of marble is calcium carbonate, the main component of mica is aluminum silicate, and the main component of basalt is silicon dioxide and silicate), which will react with acidic or alkaline electrolyte when directly contacted, on the one hand, the rock wall will be corroded, and on the other hand, the concentration of acid or alkali in the electrolyte will be reduced, causing irreversible performance degradation of the flow battery and the electric fuel system. Secondly, the heavy metal ions in the electrolyte will dissolve in the underground water after penetrating into the rock wall, causing damage to the ecological environment. SUMMARY

[0005] The application aims to provide a protective film, an underground space electrolyte storage device, a preparation method thereof, a leak detection system and a leak detection method thereof, and aims to solve the problems that the electrolyte storage container in the prior art is corroded by the electrolyte, and the power supply performance of the flow battery and the electric fuel system is irreversibly degraded.

The bonding film layer can improve the connectivity between the protective film and the inner wall surface of the electrolyte storage container and isolate the inner wall surface of the electrolyte storage container and the conductive layer. The foam layer mainly has three functions: one is to prevent the soil from eroding the metal mesh shell, the other is to protect the plastic shell from the impact of electrolyte flow during the operation of the battery, and the third is to prevent the direct contact between the soil and the electrolyte when the plastic shell is broken.

[0116] In some embodiments, the coating for forming the bonding film layer comprises a silicon-titanium oxide-based gel, which can increase the resistance of the bonding film layer to electrolyte corrosion.

[0123] The underground space electrolyte storage container provided by the application can collect the leaked electrolyte through the drainage system and directly into the ground space when the ground electrode or pipeline leaks, which can prevent the leaked electrolyte from polluting the environment and avoid the capacity reduction caused by the waste of electrolyte.

[0124] In addition, the working temperature range of the flow battery is narrow. The underground space is stable, and the soil and rock layer has good heat conduction. The heat generated during the operation of the flow battery can be discharged through the soil in time, reducing the dependence of the flow battery on the cooling system. In addition, the underground space has good insulation effect in winter, and is less affected by the ground climate, which can reduce the dependence of the flow battery system on the heating system. For the storage of electrolyte, the heat management of the battery has a very positive effect.

The required drilling depth is calculated according to the capacity of the underground space electrolyte storage container, the energy density of the electrolyte, the space idle rate and the diameter of the drill bit, the ground is drilled to obtain an underground cave.

[0126] The required drilling depth can be calculated according to the capacity of the underground space electrolyte storage container, and the formula is as follows:

[0127] (1)

[0128] Wherein, E is the energy of the electrolyte to be stored, and the unit is watt-hour;

[0129] n is the number of liquid storage tanks;

[0130] e is the energy density of the electrolyte, in units of watt-hour per cubic meter;

[0131] η is the empty space of the electrolyte storage space;

[0132] U is the utilization rate of the electrolyte;

[0133] d is the diameter of the drill bit, in meters;

[0134] The protective film is arranged on at least one region of the inner wall surface of the underground cavity to form the underground space electrolyte storage container.

[0135] The preparation method of the underground space electrolyte storage container according to the embodiment of the application can accurately calculate the drilling depth according to the energy storage capacity, drill bit diameter, electrolyte concentration and other parameters, greatly save the ground space, and reduce the land occupation cost of the electrolyte storage of the liquid flow battery and the electric fuel system.

[0136] The fourth aspect of the embodiment of the application provides a leak detection system, which comprises the underground space electrolyte storage container, the electrolyte, the detection device, the first conductor, the second conductor, the third conductor and the loop detection conductor of the above-mentioned embodiment of the application.

[0137] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 The end of the conductive layer 4 of the protective film at or near the top of the electrolyte storage container 7 is set as the A part, and the end of the conductive layer 4 of the protective film at or near the bottom of the electrolyte storage container 7 is set as the B part.

[0138] One end of the loop detection conductor 5 is set as the D part and is inserted below the liquid level of the electrolyte, and the other end is set as the E part and is arranged above the liquid level of the electrolyte.

[0139] The electrolyte is stored in the electrolyte storage container 7.

[0140] The first conductor 11 of the detection device 10 is connected with the A part, the second conductor 12 is connected with the B part, and the third conductor 13 is connected with the E part. The detection device 10 is connected with the first conductor 11, the second conductor 12 and the third conductor 13 respectively, and is used for detecting the resistance between the A part and the B part, the resistance between the A part and the E part, and the resistance between the B part and the E part respectively.

[0141] In the leak detection system, when the anticorrosion layer 3 is intact, the conductive layer 4 is isolated from the electrolyte, and there is no contact between them. At this time, the loop detection conductor 5 cannot form a loop with the conductive layer 4, and is in an open circuit state. Therefore, the voltage and resistance between the conductive layer and the loop detection conductor 5 tend to infinity. When the anticorrosion layer 3 is broken, the conductive layer 4 and the electrolyte are in contact with each other, and a potential difference is generated. Then, a voltage (usually less than 0.5V) and a measurable resistance are generated between the conductive layer 4 and the loop detection conductor 5.

[0142] Further, the detection device 10 further comprises a first switch 14, a second switch 15 and a third switch 16.

[0156] R1+R2=y1(2)

[0157] R1+R e +R t =y2(3)

[0158] R2+R e +R t =y34)

[0164] The leakage detection system provided by the embodiments can calculate the height of the rupture position of the conductive layer in the protective film according to the data detected by the detection device, such as the resistance between the A part and the B part, the resistance between the A part and the E part, and the resistance between the B part and the E part. In some embodiments, the electrolyte includes a neutral system electrolyte, an alkaline system electrolyte and an acidic system electrolyte, which are stored in an electrolyte pool and connected to the liquid flow battery or the electro-fuel body through a pipeline.

[0165] Further, the acidic system electrolyte includes VO2 + / VO 2+ , V 3+ / V 2+ , Fe 3+ / Fe 2+ , Cr 3+ / Cr 2+ , Mn 3+ / Mn 2+ , the neutral system electrolyte includes Br2 / Br - , the alkaline system electrolyte includes Fe(CN)6 3- / Fe(CN)6 4- or quinone compounds, and these electrolytes can react with the outer wall of the rock and corrode the outer wall of the rock.

[0166] In addition, the potential difference φ C between the C part and the D part satisfies the following Nernst equation:

[0167] (7)

[0168] (8)

[0169] wherein φ θ is the standard electrode potential of the active material, R is the ideal gas constant, T is the electrolyte temperature, n is the number of electrons of the reaction, and F is the Faraday constant.o,C C is the concentration of the oxidant at the C section, C r,C C is the concentration of the reducing agent at the C section, C o,D C is the concentration of the oxidant at the D section, C r,D C is the concentration of the reducing agent at the D section.

[0171] (9)

[0172] When the concentrations of the electrolyte are uniform, and the concentrations of the oxidant and the reducing agent at the C section and the D section are equal, the potential difference φ C -φ D between the loop detection conductor 5 and the conductive layer is 0. Generally, because the underground space is large, when the height difference is large, the solution will be slightly stratified, so the concentration difference of the active substances between the C section and the D section will be partially different, thereby causing the potential difference φ C -φ D to generate a potential difference slightly higher than 0 (generally less than 0.5 volts).

[0173] The leak detection method provided by the application can calculate the height of the rupture position of the conductive layer contained in the protective film by detecting the resistance between the A section and the E section by the detection device and detecting the resistance between the B section and the E section by the detection device.

[0174] The following will be described in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0175] Embodiment 1

[0176] Figures 3 to 4 FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a leak detection system provided by the embodiment of the application, which comprises an electrolyte storage container 7, an electrolyte, a detection device 10, and a loop detection conductor 5.

[0177] Specifically, at least one side wall of the electrolyte storage container 7 is provided with the protective film provided by the embodiment of the application, and the electrolyte is stored in the electrolyte storage container 7.

[0178] The end of the conductive layer 4 contained in the protective film at the top of the electrolyte storage container 7 is set as the A section, and the end of the conductive layer 4 contained in the protective film at the bottom of the electrolyte storage container 7 is set as the B section.

[0179] One end of the loop detection conductor 5 is set as the D section and is inserted below the liquid level of the electrolyte, and the other end is set as the E section and is arranged above the liquid level of the electrolyte.

[0180] The detection device 10 comprises a first conductor 11, a second conductor 12, a third conductor 13, a first switch 14, a second switch 15 and a third switch 17, the first conductor 11 is connected with the A part, the second conductor 12 is connected with the B part, the third conductor 13 is connected with the E part, the detection device 10 is connected with the first conductor 11, the second conductor 12 and the third conductor 13 respectively, and is used for detecting the resistance between the A part and the B part, the resistance between the A part and the E part and the resistance between the B part and the E part respectively.

[0181] In the leak detection system, when the anticorrosion layer 3 is intact, the conductive layer 4 is isolated from the electrolyte, and there is no contact between them. At this time, the loop detection conductor 5 cannot form a loop with the conductive layer 4, and is in an open circuit state. Therefore, the voltage and resistance between the conductive layer and the loop detection conductor 5 tend to infinity. When the anticorrosion layer 3 is broken, the conductive layer 4 and the electrolyte are in contact, which produces a potential difference. Then, a voltage (usually less than 0.5V) and a measurable resistance are generated between the conductive layer 4 and the loop detection conductor 5.

[0182] In the leak detection system, when the first switch 14 and the second switch 15 are closed, and the third switch 16 is not closed, the detection device 10, the A part, the first conductor 11, the second conductor 12 and the B part form a first loop, and the resistance between the A part and the B part is detected.

[0183] In the leak detection system, when the first switch 14 and the third switch 16 are closed, and the second switch 15 is not closed, the detection device 10, the electrolyte, the A part, the first conductor 11, the third conductor 13, the C part and the E part form a second loop. The detection device can detect the resistance between the A part and the E part.

[0184] In the leak detection system, when the second switch 15 and the third switch 16 are closed, and the first switch is not closed, the detection device 10, the electrolyte, the B part, the second conductor 12, the third conductor 13 and the E part form a third loop. The detection device 10 can detect the resistance between the B part and the E part.

[0185] In the leak detection system, when the anticorrosion layer 3 is intact, the conductive layer 4 is isolated from the electrolyte, and there is no contact between them. At this time, the loop detection conductor 5 cannot form a loop with the conductive layer 4, and is in an open circuit state. Therefore, the voltage and resistance between the conductive layer 4 and the loop detection conductor 5 tend to infinity. When the anticorrosion layer 3 is broken, the conductive layer 4 and the electrolyte are in contact, which produces a potential difference. Then, a voltage (usually less than 0.5V) and a measurable resistance are generated between the conductive layer 4 and the loop detection conductor 5. Figures 2 to 4A schematic diagram for detecting the position of the broken anticorrosion film layer provided in the embodiments of the present application, wherein the detection principle of the height of the broken position is as follows: the distance between A part and B part is L, which includes the distance L1 between A part and C part, the distance L2 between B part and C part, and the resistance between the top end A part and B part of the conductive film layer is R1+R2, which can be measured by a resistance tester, and the measurement value is y1, wherein R1 is the electronic resistance from A part to C part, and R2 is the electronic resistance from B part to C part, wherein L1 / L2=R1 / R2, since the distance L between A part and B part is a known quantity, if the values of R1 and R2 can be measured, the values of L1 and L2 can be calculated, so as to obtain the distance between C part and A part and B part. Before the anticorrosion layer 3 is broken, the conductive layer 4 and the loop detection conductor 5 are in an open circuit state, and the resistance value and the voltage are both infinite, when the anticorrosion layer 3 is broken, the conductive layer 4 and the electrolyte are in contact with each other to generate a potential difference, and then a voltage (usually lower than 0.5V) and a measurable resistance are generated between the conductive layer 4 and the loop detection conductor 5.

[0186] The detection device, A part, the first conductor 11, the second conductor 12 and B part in the leak detection system of the embodiments of the present application form a first loop, and the detection of the resistance between A part and B part is completed.

[0187] The detection device, the electrolyte, A part, the first conductor 11, the third conductor 13, C part and E part in the leak detection system of the embodiments of the present application form a second loop, and the detection device can detect the resistance between A part and E part.

[0188] The detection device 10, the electrolyte, B part and E part in the leak detection system of the embodiments of the present application form a second loop, and the detection device 10 can detect the resistance between B part and E part.

[0189] The potential difference between the conductive layer 4 and the electrolyte is the Nernst electrode potential φ of the active electric pair C , the potential difference between the loop detection conductor 5 and the electrolyte is the Nernst electrode potential φ of the active electric pair D , and the voltage between D part and C part S is (φ C -φ D ).

[0190] First loop detection: the resistance value between A part and B part is measured by the alternating current impedance method (detection is performed through the first loop), and the measurement value is y1.

[0191] Second loop detection: the resistance value between E part and A part is measured by the alternating current impedance method (detection is performed through the second loop), and the measurement value is y2, and the resistance value includes R1+R e +R twhere R1 is the electronic resistance from A to C, R e is the ionic resistance from C to D, and R t is the electronic resistance from D to E.

[0192] Third loop detection: the resistance of E and B is measured by AC impedance method (through the third loop), the measured value is y3, and the resistance value contains R2+R e +R t , where R2 is the electronic resistance from B to C, R e is the ionic resistance from the rupture position C to D, and R t is the electronic resistance from D to E. Through the above measurement, the following relationship can be obtained:

[0193] R1+R2=y1(1)

[0194] R1+R e +R t =y2(2)

[0195] R2+R e +R t =y3(3)

[0196] Solving the above three equations can obtain the value of R1 as (y1+y2-y3) / 2, and the value of R2 as (y1-y2+y3) / 2.

[0197] On the other hand, the top end A and the bottom end B of the conductive film layer to the rupture position C satisfy the following relationship:

[0198] L1+L2=L(4)

[0199] L1 / L2=R1 / R2(5)

[0200] Combining the values of R1 and R2 and equations (4) and (5), we can get L1=L* (y1+y2-y3) / 2y1, L2=L* (y1-y 2+ y3) / 2y1, and L is a known quantity when designing. y1, y2, and y3 are the measured values of resistance. When the corrosion protection layer is ruptured, the rupture position can be accurately calculated by the detection loop designed by the system. The vertical distance from C to A is L* (y1+y2-y3) / 2y1, and the vertical distance from C to B is L* (y1-y2+y3) / 2y1.

[0201] In addition, the potential difference φC between the conductive layer 4 and the electrolyte satisfies the following Nernst equation:

[0202] (6)

[0203] (7)

[0204] wherein φ θ is the standard electrode potential of the active material, R is the ideal gas constant, T is the temperature of the electrolyte, n is the number of electrons of the reaction, and F is the Faraday constant. C o,C is the concentration of the oxide at the breaking position C, C r,C is the concentration of the reduction at C, C o,D is the concentration of the oxide at D, C r,D is the concentration of the reduction at the bottom end D of the loop detection conductor.

[0205] According to (6) and (7), the potential difference φ C -φ D between the loop detection conductor 5 and the conductive layer 4 can be calculated as:

[0206] (8)

[0207] When the concentrations of the electrolyte are uniform everywhere, such as the concentrations of the oxide and the reduction at C and D are equal, the potential difference φ C -φ D between the loop detection conductor and the conductive layer is 0. Generally, due to the large underground space, when the height difference is large, the solution will be slightly stratified, so there will be some difference in the concentration of the active material between C and D, which will cause φ C -φ D to generate a potential difference slightly higher than 0 (generally less than 0.5 volts).

It should be pointed out that although the outer epoxy resin anti-corrosion coating has been broken at this time, the bottom layer of silicon-titanium oxide can still isolate the electrolyte from reacting with the rock wall.

[0214] Example 5

[0215] The specific implementation method is as follows. First, according to the capacity of the energy storage system, the energy density of the electrolyte, the space idle rate, and the diameter of the drill bit, the required drilling depth is calculated.

[0216] The required drilling depth can be calculated according to the capacity of the energy storage system, and the formula is as follows:

[0217] (1)

[0218] Wherein, E is the energy of the electrolyte to be stored (watt-hour), n is the number of storage tanks, e is the energy density of the electrolyte (watt-hour / cubic meter), η is the storage space allowance, U is the utilization rate of the electrolyte, and d is the diameter of the drill bit (meter).

It needs to be emphasized that although the resin layer is broken at this time, the electrolyte has contacted the porous conductive mesh, but due to the isolation of the foam layer, the electrolyte has not contacted the soil, effectively isolating the reaction between the soil and the electrolyte.
