Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energy storage technology, specifically relating to a structure and method for preventing leakage in a compressed air energy storage chamber. Technical Background
[0002] Compressed air storage (CAS) power stations are a highly efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly energy storage solution. They fully utilize cheap electricity obtained during periods of low demand by converting electrical energy into compressed air for storage, and then releasing this compressed air during peak demand periods to convert it back into electrical energy, providing flexible power regulation for the grid.
[0003] To store compressed air, compressed air energy storage power stations require a reliable compressed air storage chamber, including a high-pressure storage tank, high-pressure storage chamber, or high-pressure storage silo. The structural integrity and airtightness of the compressed air storage chamber are crucial to the power station; any airtightness failure will lead to energy loss and potentially create significant safety hazards. Typically, the outer layer of the compressed air storage chamber is a reinforced concrete lining, while the inner layer is an airtight layer made of polymer material to retain the compressed air. However, the concrete lining is prone to cracking under compressed air pressure. Although the polymer airtight layer itself is not easily damaged by compressed air pressure, irregular cracks created after the lining cracks can cause the airtight layer to become embedded in the cracks and subjected to shear stress, leading to shear failure and posing a significant safety risk.
[0004] In the past, to address this problem, measures such as increasing the thickness of the concrete, increasing the amount of steel reinforcement, or using a high-strength concrete mix were often taken. However, these methods greatly increased construction costs and still could not completely solve the problems of lining cracking and airtight layer damage. Summary of the Invention

[0048] S3. After the outline of the compressed air energy storage chamber is excavated in the surrounding rock, a lubrication layer is constructed on the inner surface of the surrounding rock.
[0049] S4. Concrete the compressed air energy storage cavity according to the number of guide cracks determined in step S1, and reserve a crack with a width of L calculated in step S2 at the set position to form a guide crack. At the same time, during the concrete pouring process, reserve a cavity with a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the connecting bar at each connecting bar installation position.
[0050] S5. After the concrete masonry is poured and cured, install the pre-guided airtight structure; each pre-guided airtight structure includes a rubber sealing structure with a groove in the middle, a first support steel plate, and two second support steel plates; firstly, embed the rubber sealing structure into the guide crack, with the concave surface of its groove facing the inner cavity of the compressed air energy storage chamber, then install the first support steel plate on the outside of the guide crack, embedding the first support steel plate into the concrete masonry, and finally install two second support steel plates in the inner layer of the guide crack, embedding the two second support steel plates into the concrete masonry respectively, and fixing them to the positions on both sides of the groove opening of the rubber sealing structure by locking bolts.

[0051] A preferred technical solution of the present invention: In step S5, the groove of the pre-guided airtight structure is formed in the middle of the rubber sealing structure, and the corner of the groove bottom is provided with an arc-shaped chamfer; the depth h of the groove c The chamfer angle θ and chamfer width w must satisfy the following conditions:
[0052]

[0060] The preferred technical solution of the present invention is as follows: the lubricating layer in step S3 is completed by spraying molybdenum disulfide and diammonium hexametaphosphate.
[0061] This invention involves pre-reserving guiding cracks in the concrete masonry layer of the compressed air energy storage chamber and installing pre-guided airtight structures at the crack locations. The pre-reserved guiding cracks provide space for the deformation of the lining under circumferential stress, reducing the risk of lining cracking. The sealing structure filling the guiding cracks is a cantilever beam-shaped rubber structure, which can provide circumferential stress support for the lining of the high-pressure gas storage chamber, further reducing the risk of lining cracking, thereby ensuring the structural integrity of the high-pressure gas storage chamber and effectively preventing gas leakage.
[0062] The structure of this invention guides cracks to form in predetermined locations and directions, while ensuring that airtightness is maintained even when cracks occur. This solves the problems of airtightness layer damage caused by lining cracking and high costs due to the use of high-strength reinforced concrete in the prior art. The number of guide cracks on the compressed air energy storage cavity is set according to the strength of the concrete, and the crack width is calculated in combination with parameters such as the internal air pressure, surrounding rock parameters, cavity radius, and burial depth. This ensures that the number and width of cracks can meet the deformation space of the lining under circumferential stress. The compressed air energy storage cavity with guide cracks and pre-guided airtight structure can effectively guide and control the development of cracks, so that when the surrounding rock of the high-pressure gas storage chamber cracks, its airtight layer will not undergo shear failure leading to internal gas leakage, thus ensuring the safe and stable operation of the compressed air energy storage system.

[0070] An embodiment provides a structure for preventing leakage of compressed air energy storage chambers, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the structure includes surrounding rock 1 and a circular compressed air energy storage cavity 12 embedded in the surrounding rock 1. Guide cracks 10 are formed on the concrete lining 3 of the compressed air energy storage cavity. A pre-guided airtight structure is provided at each guide crack 10. The number of guide cracks 10 is N, where N is greater than 1. The guide cracks 10 are formed along the axial direction of the compressed air energy storage cavity 12 from one end to the other. The radial depth of the guide cracks 10 is equal to the thickness of the concrete lining 3. N guide cracks 10 are evenly distributed on the concrete lining 3. A pre-guided airtight structure is installed at each guide crack 10. The pre-guided airtight structure includes a first supporting steel plate 4 located on the outer ring surface of the concrete lining 3 and a rubber sealing structure 5 embedded in the guiding crack 10. The width of the first supporting steel plate 4 is greater than the width of the guiding crack 10, and it is located between the concrete lining 3 and the surrounding rock 1. A lubrication layer 2 is provided between the first supporting steel plate 4 and the surrounding rock 1. The lubrication layer 2 can effectively reduce the friction generated when the first supporting steel plate 4 moves on the surrounding rock, and prevent the steel plate from falling off or being damaged due to friction. The first supporting steel plate 4 is embedded in the concrete lining 3. At both ends of the concrete lining 3 corresponding to the embedding position of the first supporting steel plate 4, a first groove 9 matching the thickness of the first supporting steel plate 4 is reserved to allow for concrete expansion space.
[0071] An embodiment provides a structure for preventing leakage of compressed air energy storage chambers, such as... Figures 1 to 4As shown, the side of the rubber sealing structure 5 away from the inner cavity of the compressed air energy storage chamber 12 is tightly attached to the supporting steel plate 4, and a groove 11 is provided on the side adjacent to the inner cavity of the compressed air energy storage chamber 12; a second supporting steel plate 6 is symmetrically provided on both sides of the opening of the groove 11. One end of the second supporting steel plate 6 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the rubber sealing structure 5 and is fixedly connected to the rubber sealing structure 5, and the other end extends to the outside of the guide crack 10. It is fixedly connected to the first supporting steel plate 4 through the concrete lining 3 by a connecting bar 8. The connecting bar 8 is a steel bar and can be connected to the supporting steel plate by welding. A cavity 13 with a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the connecting bar 8 is provided on the concrete lining 3 at the position where the connecting bar 8 passes through, so as to avoid the steel bar colliding with the lining when the lining expands. The groove 11 is located in the middle of the rubber sealing structure 5, with a chamfered corner at the bottom. Two second support steel plates 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the groove opening of the groove 11 and embedded in the concrete lining 3. The two second support steel plates 6 are fixedly connected to the rubber sealing structure 5 by locking bolts 14. At the end of the concrete lining 3 corresponding to each second support steel plate 6 away from the groove 11, a second groove 7 with a thickness matching the second support steel plate 6 is provided to reserve space for possible expansion of the lining concrete under high pressure. The rubber sealing structure 5 is similar to a cantilever beam structure. The groove 11 can convert air pressure into a supporting force for the lining and can ensure that the airtight layer will not tear when sliding in the cavity.
[0072] Considering that different surrounding rock grades have different stability and cracking tendencies, a specific number of pre-guided airtight joint structures are designed for each surrounding rock grade to ensure the safety of the high-pressure gas storage chamber. Furthermore, compressed air storage power plants are generally not built in areas with poor lithology, but this invention provides a reference for the number of pre-guided airtight joints required for areas with poor lithology. In the embodiment, the number N of guide cracks 10 is determined based on the concrete strength used in the concrete lining 3 of the compressed air storage chamber 12, and N guide cracks 10 are evenly distributed on the concrete lining 3.
