Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of new energy storage technology, in particular to a centralized underground pumped water pressure gas energy storage power station and its operation mode. BACKGROUND

[0002] Clean new energy mainly including photovoltaic and wind power occupies a dominant position in the power system in China. However, due to the volatility and intermittency of solar energy and wind power, the fluctuation of new energy power generation is large, which poses a great challenge to the accommodation capacity of the power grid. Developing power side storage is the key to solving the above problems. Pumped storage power station is a relatively mature large-scale storage method, and the energy conversion efficiency can generally reach about 75%; its main disadvantage is that it is difficult to select a site, and two reservoirs with a certain height difference need to be constructed within a certain distance. Compressed air energy storage is a long-term energy storage technology that has emerged in recent years, and its requirement for site selection is relatively low; however, its disadvantage is that the unit equipment is expensive, and the unit construction cost and the cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour are high.

[0003] In order to solve the disadvantages of pumped storage and compressed air energy storage, Chinese patent publication No. CN 102797613A, published on November 28, 2012, has the title of a pumped compressed air energy storage system; the application discloses a system for storing energy through a high-pressure gas tank and a reservoir. During the low electricity consumption period, the water in the reservoir is pumped into the high-pressure tank by a water pump, and then during the peak electricity consumption period, the gas in the high-pressure tank is pressed out to drive the water turbine and the generator. Its disadvantage is that the contact area between the high-pressure gas and the water surface is large, and a large amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the high-pressure air will partially dissolve in the water body, and the volume of the high-pressure tank is generally small, and no air supplement device is provided, which makes it difficult to maintain a high-pressure state for a long time, and the gas storage effect is difficult to guarantee.

[0048] A high-pressure control valve 304 is provided in the middle of the connecting pipe 303, and a low-pressure holding valve 305 is provided at the connection between the water supply pipe 6 and the water-gas co-containment shaft 302.

[0049] The gas replenishment unit 5 includes a gas replenishment pipeline 501, a gas replenishment monitoring valve 502, and a gas replenishment compressor 503. The gas replenishment monitoring valve 502 is located at the top of the high-pressure vertical shaft 301 and is connected to the gas replenishment compressor 503 through the gas replenishment pipeline 501.

[0050] The reservoir's regulating capacity V1 should be greater than the volume V2 of the N water-air co-containment shafts, that is:

[0051] V1≥NV2 (1)

[0052] The high-pressure shaft volume is V3, and the following should be met:

[0054] The top depth of the high-pressure shaft should meet the condition that the gravity of the upper circular table of the shaft is greater than 3 times of the lifting force caused by the internal pressure, that is:

[0061] L ij ≥5D i,j=1~N;i≠j (6)

[0062] The application also provides an operation mode of a centralized underground pumped hydro-gas energy storage power station, which adopts any one of the centralized underground pumped hydro-gas energy storage power stations described above, and the operation mode includes four operation states: energy storage operation state, energy release operation state, low-pressure pressure maintaining state and high-pressure pressure maintaining state.

[0063] At the initial period, the power station is in the low-pressure pressure maintaining state; at the peak of new energy generation, according to the grid regulation demand, the energy storage operation state is started; when the predetermined pressure is reached, the power station enters the high-pressure pressure maintaining state; at the trough of new energy generation, according to the grid regulation demand, the energy release operation state is started; when the predetermined pressure is reached, the power station enters the low-pressure pressure maintaining state; and the cycle is repeated.

[0064] (1) High-pressure pressure maintaining state:

[0065] The high-pressure control valve 304 and the low-pressure pressure maintaining valve 305 are opened, the external power grid supplies power to the pumped storage unit 2 in the water pumping state through the transformer station 402, and the water in the reservoir 1 is pumped to the water-air coexistence shaft 302 through the water pipeline 6. At this time, the air in the water-air coexistence shaft 302 and the high-pressure shaft 301 is compressed and continuously stored in the high-pressure shaft 301 through the connecting pipeline 303 until the water-air interface passes through the high-pressure control valve 304. At this time, the gas in the high-pressure shaft 301 reaches a predetermined pressure, and the low-pressure pressure maintaining valve 305 and the high-pressure control valve 304 are closed, and the system enters a high-pressure pressure maintaining state.

[0066] (2) Low-pressure pressure maintaining state:

[0067] The gas in the high-pressure shaft 301 expands and does work to push the water in the water-air coexistence shaft 302 into the water pipeline 6, drive the pumped storage unit 1 to generate electricity, and enter the power grid through the transformer station 402, while the water is injected into the reservoir 1. When the gas fills the water-air coexistence shaft 302 and the water-air interface reaches the bottom elevation of the water pipeline 6, the low-pressure pressure maintaining valve 305 is closed, and the system enters a low-pressure pressure maintaining state.

[0068] The pressure P1 of the low-pressure pressure maintaining state should satisfy:

[0069] P1≥H1-H2 (7)

[0070] Wherein, H1 is the maximum water surface elevation of the reservoir, and H2 is the top elevation of the water-air coexistence shaft.

[0071] The air supplement monitoring valve 502 has automatic monitoring and opening and closing functions. When the pressure of the high-pressure shaft 301 in the high-pressure pressure maintaining state decreases by 2%, a low-pressure early warning is automatically sent, the air supplement compressor 503 is started, and the pressure in the high-pressure shaft 301 is maintained through air supplement.

[0072] In this embodiment, the regulated reservoir capacity V3 of the reservoir 1 is 2 million m 3 ; the water-air coexistence shaft 302 has a diameter of 24 m, a height of 220 m, and a volume V2 of 100,000 m 3 ; the high-pressure shaft 301 has a diameter of 12 m, a total height of 220 m, and a volume V3 of 25,000 m 3 . The pressure P1 of the low-pressure pressure maintaining state is 2 MPa, and under isothermal compression, the pressure P2 of the high-pressure pressure maintaining state is calculated to be 10 MPa.

[0073] In this embodiment, the surrounding rock category of a centralized underground pumped air energy storage power station is type I, the spacing between the five underground energy storage units 3 high-pressure shafts 301 is 80 m, which is greater than 5 times the diameter of the high-pressure shaft, and can satisfy the internal pressure stability of the high-pressure shaft 301.

[0074] In this embodiment, a centralized underground pumped gas storage power station has four operating states: energy storage operation state, energy release operation state, low-pressure holding state, and high-pressure holding state, such as... Figure 4 As shown. After being put into operation, the power station is in a low-pressure holding state, P1 = 2MPa; during peak periods of renewable energy generation, it enters the energy storage operation state according to the grid control requirements; when the pressure increases to 10MPa, the power station enters the high-pressure holding state; during off-peak periods of renewable energy generation, it enters the energy release operation state according to the grid control requirements; when the pressure drops to 2MPa, the power station enters the low-pressure holding state; and so on.

[0075] In this embodiment, with the ground elevation as the 0 elevation reference, the maximum water surface elevation of the reservoir 1 is -5.00m; the top elevation of the water-gas co-containment shaft 302 and the high-pressure shaft 301 is -120.00m; the pressure P1 in the low-pressure holding state is 2MPa, which can meet the operating pressure requirements in the energy release state.

[0076] In this embodiment, the uplift stability analysis of the high-pressure vertical shaft 301 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the burial depth H3 above high-pressure shaft 301 is 120m, and the average density of the overlying rock is 2400kg / m³. 3 The calculated weight of the upper frustum of the high-pressure shaft 301 is 2.53 × 10⁻⁶. 7 kN, greater than the upward force caused by internal pressure, 1.13 × 10 kN. 6 Three times the kN, ensuring stability against lifting.

[0077] In this embodiment, the gas replenishment valve 502 has automatic monitoring and opening / closing functions. When the pressure P2 of the high-pressure shaft 301 in the high-pressure holding state drops below 9.8MPa due to leakage, dissolution, or other reasons, a low-pressure warning can be triggered, and the gas replenishment compressor 503 will automatically start replenishing gas to maintain the pressure inside the shaft.

[0078] Based on the description and accompanying drawings of this invention, those skilled in the art can easily manufacture or use a centralized underground pumped gas storage power station and its operation mode as described in this invention, and can produce the positive effects described in this invention.

[0079] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Any simple modifications or equivalent changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
