[0043] The flexible diaphragm 13 can be compressed and expanded in an isobaric process, which is beneficial to the system elements working in their optimal efficiency range and improving the system energy storage efficiency. At the same time, the compressed gas and working fluid stored in the flexible diaphragm 13 can be fully exchanged through the wall of the flexible diaphragm 13, and the compression and expansion of the gas in the flexible diaphragm 13 is close to an isothermal process, which is also beneficial to improving the system efficiency.
[0044] The gas tank 1 is fixedly installed above the composite suction caisson foundation 2, and the composite suction caisson foundation 2 is used to fix the gas tank 1 on the seabed.
[0045] Further, the flexible water bag 3 and the gas tank 1 form a closed structure to prevent external seawater and marine organisms from entering.
[0046] Further, the sum of the volumes of the working fluids in the two water storage bags 4 is equal to or slightly greater than the volume of the gas tank 1.
[0047] Further, the flexible diaphragm 13 is used to store compressed gas and separate compressed gas and working fluid; the flexible diaphragm 13 can fill the internal space of the gas tank 1 after being inflated.
[0048] Further, the platform 15 is provided with a groove 20 on the lower side wall, and the flexible diaphragm 13 is fixedly installed on the groove 20 through an elastic clamp 14.

[0052] Further, the wall thickness of the gas storage tank 1 is 150-600mm, the deeper the installation water depth, the thicker the wall thickness; according to the production regulations of QB / HQ6539-2007 "Simple Steel Pressure Vessel", the thickness of the cylinder of the gas storage tank is not less than 4.5~5mm, the wall thickness of the gas storage tank provided by the application is increased by about 30-120 times compared with the traditional pressure vessel, which can improve the self gravity to provide sufficient tensile / compressive strength and additional gravity ballast, and to a certain extent, the geometric size of the composite suction caisson foundation can be reduced, and the additional sinking force is provided by the self gravity during the installation and sinking of the composite suction caisson foundation 2 to overcome the resistance of the soil to the tip of the inner cylinder 6 and the outer cylinder 7 during the sinking process.
[0053] Further, the gas storage tank 1 adopts a concrete structure, which is low in cost, corrosion-resistant, one-time forming, and good in overall performance, while the traditional gas storage tank adopts a steel structure, which is high in production cost, easy to corrode, and usually formed into a whole by welding, and the overall performance of the structure is not good.
[0054] Further, when the composite suction caisson foundation 2 falls onto the seabed in the sea: the inner cylinder pressure measuring port 16 is used to monitor the pressure inside the corresponding chamber in real time by inserting a pressure gauge into the corresponding chamber during the installation of the composite suction caisson foundation 2; the inner cylinder water pumping port 17 is used to suck the seawater in the corresponding chamber by connecting an external water pumping device to form negative pressure in the corresponding chamber, thereby controlling the sinking installation of the composite suction caisson foundation 2 to a specified depth;

[0058] Further, the diameter of the outer cylinder 7 is greater than the diameter of the inner cylinder 6, and the length of the outer cylinder 7 is less than the length of the inner cylinder 6, thereby providing sufficient horizontal bearing capacity and overturning resistance when the upper gas tank 1 is subjected to strong horizontal load, and providing the closed underwater compressed gas energy storage device for preventing seawater corrosion and marine organism attachment from seawater scouring protection.
[0059] Further, the gas tank 1, the inner cylinder 6 and the outer cylinder 7 are coaxially arranged.
[0060] Further, the bulkhead plate 8 is a herringbone structure.
[0061] Further, the anchoring force of the closed underwater compressed gas energy storage device for preventing seawater corrosion and marine organism attachment is composed of the self-weight of the gas tank 1, the self-weight of the composite suction caisson foundation 2 and the bearing capacity of the composite suction caisson foundation 2.
[0062] In operation, first, the inside of the water storage bag 4 is filled with working fluid, and the water conveying pipeline 5 is sealingly connected to the gas tank water inlet 12; then the closed underwater compressed gas energy storage device is placed in the sea, seawater is filled into the inside of the inner cylinder 6 and the outer cylinder 7, and after the composite suction caisson foundation 2 falls on the seabed, the seawater in the inside of the inner cylinder 6 and the outer cylinder 7 is pumped out, so that the composite suction caisson foundation 2 sinks to the position where the inner cylinder 6 and the outer cylinder 7 are installed on the seabed; the inner cylinder 6 and the outer cylinder 7 are used to provide anchoring force for the gas tank 1 when subjected to external load disturbance after the composite suction caisson foundation 2 is installed in place;
[0063] The closed underwater compressed gas energy storage device for preventing seawater corrosion and marine organism attachment has energy storage process and energy release process.
[0064] Energy storage process:
[0065] As Figure 7As shown, the entire device is installed on the seabed, and the space between the interior of the gas tank 1 and the exterior of the flexible diaphragm 13 is filled with the working fluid that enters from the water bag 4 in sequence through the water pipe 5 and the gas tank water outlet 12, and then the compressed gas with a certain pressure is allowed to enter the flexible diaphragm 13 in sequence through the wall-adhering pipe 11 and the peripheral gas pipe 9, and the flexible diaphragm 13 begins to expand and stretch. As the gas storage process proceeds, the volume of the flexible diaphragm 13 continues to increase and gradually stretches toward the bottom of the gas tank 1; during this process, the working fluid in the gas tank 1 is gradually discharged to the water bag 4 through the gas tank water outlet 12 and the water pipe 5 in sequence. During the gas storage process, the pressure of the compressed gas in the flexible diaphragm 13 remains constant until the flexible diaphragm 13 is fully stretched and fills the internal space of the gas tank 1. At the same time, all the working fluid returns to the flexible water bag 3 and fills the entire flexible water bag 3;
[0066] Energy release process:
[0067] like Figure 8 As shown, when the outside world needs it, the compressed gas stored in the flexible diaphragm 13 flows out through the peripheral gas pipeline 9. As the volume of the compressed gas decreases, the working fluid in the water storage bag 4 continuously flows into the gas tank 1 through the water pipeline 5 and the gas tank water port 12 in turn. During the exhaust process, the gas pressure inside the flexible diaphragm 13 remains constant until all the compressed gas inside the flexible diaphragm 13 is discharged, and the working fluid refills the space between the inside of the gas tank 1 and the outside of the flexible diaphragm 13. The above is a complete working cycle.
[0068] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
