Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method and device for calculating the electric-electric efficiency of compressed air energy storage based on an equilibrium state, and belongs to the field of compressed air energy storage. Background Art

[0002] Compressed air energy storage, as a form of energy storage, is clean, efficient, and scalable, and is one of the most promising energy storage technologies. The thermal system of the compressed air energy storage system includes system components such as a compression unit, a heat exchange unit, a heat storage unit, a turbine unit, and an air storage chamber. When the grid load is low, the compressed air energy storage system absorbs excess electricity from the grid, drives the compression unit to work, and compresses the air into high-pressure air and stores it in the air storage chamber. Heat is generated during the compression process, which is exchanged out through the heat exchange unit and stored in the heat storage unit. When the grid load is peak, the compressed air energy storage system releases high-pressure air from the air storage chamber, enters the turbine unit to expand and work, and generates electricity to be sent to the grid. During the work process, the heat stored in the heat storage unit is absorbed by the heat exchange unit.

[0003] Electric-electric efficiency is one of the key parameters for evaluating compressed air energy storage systems. It is generally calculated by measuring the system's electrical energy input and output and taking into account the energy of other inputs to the system. This method is simple and easy to use, but on the one hand it can only be applied to systems that are already in operation; on the other hand it is difficult to expand its application, such as analyzing the impact of key system parameters on efficiency and optimizing system design parameters. For example, the efficiency of a traditional supplementary combustion compressed air energy storage system is calculated as follows: η = E out / (E in +Qη eff );where E in 、E out , Q are the input and output electric energy of the energy storage system and the heat contained in the input natural gas during the cycle; η eff is the conversion efficiency of natural gas equivalent electricity.

[0004] Patent publication number US20180080346A1, "A Method for Efficiency Evaluation of an RCAES System," discloses: calculating the electrical energy charged by the power system during compression; calculating the electrical energy discharged to the power system during expansion; and calculating the power ratio. The energy released during expansion is related to the energy released during compression, and this ratio is used as the efficiency of the entire RCAES system. The operating gas is an ideal gas, the air mass flow rate during compression and expansion is known and constant during operation, and an isothermal model is used for the CASV, where its temperature is the same as the surrounding environment, and the compressed air becomes constant after temperature and pressure throttling.
