TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In order to solve the problem of power fluctuation after intermittent new energy is integrated into the power grid, it is an inevitable trend to enrich energy storage technology and develop efficient power generation technology. The compressed gas energy storage technology has the characteristics of large scale, good safety, long service life and environmental friendliness. The gas working medium can be air, carbon dioxide, etc. Compared with air, carbon dioxide has the advantages of stable properties, low price, wide sources and liquefaction at room temperature, and has obvious advantages in carbon reduction and working medium storage. The Carnot battery using carbon dioxide as the working medium can store energy by compressing the working medium and generate power by expanding the working medium, and can realize the mutual conversion between mechanical energy and thermal energy, gradually becoming one of the most potential emerging energy storage and power generation technologies.

[0032] The specific working process of the application is as follows:
[0033] During the Carnot cell cold storage, the motor 1-9 drives the compressor 1-2 to operate, compresses and heats the low-temperature and low-pressure carbon dioxide from the flexible air tank 1-1, and the high-temperature and high-pressure carbon dioxide formed after being heated and pressurized enters the heat release side of the high-pressure cooler 1-3 to release heat to the low-temperature heat supply system, and the low-temperature and high-pressure carbon dioxide formed after heat release enters the liquid storage tank 1-4 for cold storage. During the Carnot cell cold storage process, the low-temperature heat supply system is coupled, and the heat energy of the carbon dioxide on the heat release side of the high-pressure cooler 1-3 is converted into the heat energy of the working medium on the heat absorption side of the high-pressure cooler 1-3.
[0034] During the Carnot cell power generation, the low-temperature and high-pressure carbon dioxide in the liquid storage tank 1-4 enters the high-temperature layer channel in the geothermal field 1-5 and the heat absorption side of the carbon dioxide-molten salt heat exchanger 1-6 to be heated, and then enters the expander 1-7 to be expanded and released to form medium-temperature and low-pressure carbon dioxide, while the expander 1-7 drives the generator 1-10 to rotate to generate electricity, and then the medium-temperature and low-pressure carbon dioxide enters the heat release side of the low-pressure cooler 1-8 to release heat and form low-temperature and low-pressure carbon dioxide, and finally enters the flexible air tank 1-1 for storage. During the Carnot cell power generation process, the solar thermal system is coupled, and the heat energy of the molten salt on the heat release side of the carbon dioxide-molten salt heat exchanger 1-6 is converted into the heat energy of the carbon dioxide on the heat absorption side of the carbon dioxide-molten salt heat exchanger 1-6.
[0035] During the heat storage of the solar thermal system, the low-temperature molten salt in the low-temperature molten salt tank 2-4 is pumped to the solar collector 2-2 by the molten salt pump 2-5, the heliostat 2-1 focuses sunlight on the solar collector 2-2 to convert light energy into heat energy to heat the low-temperature molten salt to high-temperature molten salt, and then the high-temperature molten salt enters the high-temperature molten salt tank 2-3 for heat storage.
[0036] During the heat release of the solar thermal system, part of the high-temperature molten salt in the high-temperature molten salt tank 2-3 enters the heat release side of the carbon dioxide-molten salt heat exchanger 1-6 to release heat to the heat absorption side of the carbon dioxide-molten salt heat exchanger 1-6 to become low-temperature molten salt, and the other part of the high-temperature molten salt enters the heat release side of the heat exchanger 3-3 to release heat to the heat absorption side of the heat exchanger 3-3 to become low-temperature molten salt, and then the two are combined and stored in the low-temperature molten salt tank 2-4.
[0037] When the high-temperature heat supply system supplies heat, the low-temperature working medium on the heat releasing side of the high-temperature user end 3-1 is pressurized by the circulating pump 3-2, and then sequentially absorbs heat on the heat absorbing side of the geothermal field 1-5 and the heat absorbing side of the heat exchanger 3-3, and finally releases heat on the heat releasing side of the high-temperature user end 3-1.
