TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of compressed air energy storage, in particular to an air intake treatment method and system for a compressed air energy storage system. BACKGROUND
[0002] The compressed air energy storage technology in the new energy storage technology has the advantages of large scale, low cost, long service life, cleanliness, and unlimited energy storage period, and the energy storage / discharging process is accompanied by heat transfer and storage, which is a new physical energy storage technology suitable for large-scale promotion. The basic principle of compressed air energy storage technology is that during the off-peak period, the compressor consumes excess electricity (valley electricity, abandoned wind and light, etc.) to compress air to high pressure and store it in an air storage tank or underground air pocket; during the peak period, the high-pressure air is released, and through a specially constructed air turbine, it is converted into electrical energy to achieve the purpose of peak load shifting and improving the stability and reliability of the power grid. Air is the most important energy conversion carrier in compressed air energy storage technology, although it is widely available, environmentally friendly, but the temperature and humidity of air will fluctuate with the change of season and climate, that is, the temperature is high in summer and low in winter, which will cause the outlet temperature of the compressor to fluctuate seasonally. In addition, because the specific heat capacity of water vapor is greater than that of air, the heat energy and kinetic energy of air with high humidity cannot be completely decoupled, which will affect the heat exchange efficiency of the intermediate heat exchanger. On the other hand, the dust particles in the air will also cause wear and tear to the compressor system and contaminate the lubricating oil, or adhere to the surface of the heat exchanger to form a dirt resistance, affecting efficient heat exchange and system safety. Therefore, it is necessary to add an air intake treatment system to the air intake of the compressed air energy storage power station to improve the temperature, humidity and cleanliness of the inlet air, thereby improving the performance of the compressor and the energy efficiency of the system.
[0003] The existing compressed air energy storage system directly sucks the air filtered simply into the compressor, and the temperature, humidity and cleanliness of the air are greatly affected by climate, region, season, etc., which will affect the operation of the compressor. For example, if the air temperature in summer and winter differs by 20℃, it will have a great impact on the adjustment of the air temperature at the outlet of the compressor, the circulating flow of the heat storage tank, the air flow and other operating parameters, which is not conducive to the stable operation of the system; in addition, the size of the humidity in the air will also change the exhaust temperature of the compressor, and the particulate matter in the air will cause equipment wear, fouling, and lubricating oil pollution. In view of the above problems, a compressed air energy storage system air intake treatment method and system are needed. SUMMARY

[0038] S 7.6The air treatment module comprises a coarse filter screen, a fine filter screen, a dehumidification membrane and a fan in the air flow direction, in which the coarse filter screen and the fine filter screen filter large solid particles and small solid particles respectively, and the dehumidification membrane is used for adsorbing moisture in the air to provide clean, dry and suitable temperature air for the compressor, and the second air temperature and humidity sensor and the third temperature and humidity sensor detect the air temperature and humidity before the coarse filter screen and the fan respectively to determine the improvement of the air temperature and humidity by the air treatment module.
[0039] S 7.7 :Judge whether the temperature reaches the set temperature range, and preheat or cool the air by changing the flow of the high-temperature intake adjusting valve and the low-temperature intake adjusting valve to make it reach the set temperature range; if the dehumidification effect of the dehumidification membrane gradually deteriorates and cannot meet the dehumidification demand, the dehumidification membrane needs to be heated and regenerated. Further, first, second and third pressure sampling points are arranged in sequence before the coarse filter screen, after the fine filter screen and after the dehumidification membrane to monitor the air pressure difference to determine whether to start the filter screen cleaning and / or dehumidification membrane regeneration. The pressure difference between the first and second pressure sampling points can be used to judge the dirt blocking condition of the filter screen as a criterion for starting the filter screen cleaning, and the pressure difference between the second and third pressure sampling points can be used to judge the use of the dehumidification membrane as a criterion for starting the dehumidification membrane regeneration.

In particular, the pressure measured by the third sampling point at the fan inlet can be used as a criterion for adjusting the frequency and speed of the fan to make the pressure at the fan outlet within the ideal range required for efficient operation of the compressor.
[0040] Further, the filter screen cleaning of the air treatment module is specifically performed according to the following steps:
[0041] S 8.1 :First, it is judged whether the condition for triggering the filter screen cleaning program is met, that is, when △p12> first threshold value △P12(1), it is judged that the self-cleaning operation program needs to be entered in the next release condition.
[0042] S 8.2During the filter cleaning operation, the low-temperature intake switch valve, the third purification bypass valve and the fourth purification bypass valve are kept open, other valves are closed, and the fan is stopped or rotates at a low frequency. This process is to make cold air and a small amount of hot air converge at the filter and condense water droplets. If the air temperature is further reduced, the condensed water will further freeze on the surface of the coarse filter and the fine filter. Because the freezing process of the condensed water will slightly expand in the filter holes and entrap solid particles, the particles are stripped from the surface of the filter. This stage is the cleaning stage.
[0043] S 8.3 After the preset cleaning time is reached, the third purification bypass valve and the low-temperature intake switch valve are closed, and the drain valve is opened. After the input of cold air is stopped, the condensed water that has frozen will gradually melt, and during the melting process, the condensed water will wash the filter and carry away the solid particles on the surface of the filter. This stage is the standing stage.
[0044] S 8.4 After the preset standing time is reached, the frequency of the fan is increased to make the air flow reach the air flow level before the filter cleaning. It is judged again whether △p12> the first threshold value △P12(1). If it still does not meet the requirement, the filter cleaning function needs to be started again in the next energy storage working condition until △p12< the first threshold value △P12(1).
[0045] Further, the filter anti-condensation operation of the air treatment module is performed according to the following steps:
[0046] S 9.1 First, it is judged whether the condition for triggering the filter anti-condensation program is met. In the energy storage working condition, that is, when △p12> the second threshold value △P12(2) but △p12< the first threshold value △p12(1), or when the air humidity measured by the second temperature and humidity sensor is greater than the first preset humidity and the duration is greater than the first preset time, it is judged that the current running state has a high risk of condensation.
[0047] S 9.2 The waste heat air supply switch valve and the first purification bypass valve are opened. This process is to introduce high-temperature air after absorbing the waste heat of the cooling system such as the compressor / expander to the air treatment module, so as to alleviate the condensation risk of the air or blow off the condensed liquid that has been dried to reduce the air humidity and prevent a large amount of condensation from occurring during the air intake process, thereby preventing the filter from being blocked.
[0048] S 9.3 △p12 and φ2 are continuously monitored. When △p12< the second threshold value △P12(2) or the energy storage working condition is ended, the filter anti-condensation operation process can be stopped.
[0049] Further, the dehumidification membrane regeneration operation of the air treatment module is performed according to the following steps:
[0050] S 10.1 :Firstly, it is judged whether the condition of triggering the dehumidification membrane regeneration program is met, when the humidity difference measured by the second air temperature and humidity sensor and the third air temperature and humidity sensor is less than the first preset humidity difference Δφ(1) and / or the measured humidity value φ3 of the third air temperature and humidity sensor is greater than the second preset humidity φ(2), it is judged that the current dehumidification membrane saturation degree is high, and regeneration operation is needed;
[0051] S 10.2 :Open the waste heat air supply on-off valve, the second purification bypass valve and the fourth purification bypass valve, the air inlet control valve of the first stage compressor is closed, and the fan is reversed at the same time, in this process, the high-temperature air after absorbing the waste heat of the compressor / expander cooling system is guided to the dehumidification membrane area, the water in the dehumidification membrane is separated from the membrane by high-temperature gas heating, and the separated high-humidity air is discharged from the inlet of the air treatment module by reversing the fan, and the regeneration of the dehumidification membrane is completed;
[0052] S 10.3 :Continuously monitor Δφ23 and φ3, when the preset regeneration time is reached and / or Δφ23>the first preset humidity difference Δφ(1) and / or φ3 is greater than the second preset humidity φ(2), stop the dehumidification membrane regeneration operation process.

[0065] Referring to Figures 1-6 An air intake treatment system suitable for a compressed air energy storage system, comprising an air intake treatment system and a compressed air energy storage system;
[0066] The air intake treatment system comprises a heat storage constant temperature heat exchanger connected with an air inlet, the heat storage constant temperature heat exchanger is connected with an air treatment module, a first air temperature and humidity sensor is arranged at the inlet of the heat storage constant temperature heat exchanger to collect the temperature and humidity of the inlet ambient air, the inlet of the heat storage constant temperature heat exchanger is further connected with a low-temperature air inlet pipeline and a high-temperature air inlet pipeline, the heat storage constant temperature heat exchanger is an indirect heat exchanger, and heat storage materials are arranged in the heat storage constant temperature heat exchanger, the heat storage materials store heat or cold through sensible heat and / or latent heat, and the heat and cold sources of the heat storage device are high-temperature air after waste heat absorption of a compressor / expander cooling system and low-temperature air at the outlet of a fourth expander, respectively, two air flows can be introduced to the heat storage heat exchanger through a waste heat air supply pipeline and a low-temperature air inlet pipeline, respectively, a waste heat air supply on-off valve and a low-temperature air inlet on-off valve are arranged on the high-temperature air inlet pipeline and the low-temperature air inlet pipeline, respectively, to control the opening and closing of the high-temperature air inlet and the low-temperature air inlet, and a high-temperature air inlet regulating valve and a low-temperature air inlet regulating valve are arranged on the high-temperature air inlet pipeline and the low-temperature air inlet pipeline, respectively, to regulate the air inlet flow to the heat storage constant temperature heat exchanger;
[0067] The heat storage constant temperature heat exchanger can store heat or cold from two air flows, and can directly release to the inlet air to be treated, so that the temperature of the air treated by the heat storage heat exchanger reaches the ideal temperature range required by the compressor inlet. It should be noted that the present scheme selects the waste heat of the rotating equipment cooling system such as the compressor / expander and the low-temperature air at the outlet of the last-stage expander to perform air treatment, because both of them do not participate in the compressed air energy storage and release process, and do not affect the energy storage process of the compressed air energy storage system, and can maximize the charging capacity and discharging capacity. In theory, any stage of the compressor and / or expander and / or the outlet air of the air storage can be selected to be introduced into the air treatment module to perform air treatment, but it will affect the compressed air energy storage and release process, and will sacrifice part of the charging and discharging capacity, and the working condition is limited, and the control system is also complex. The method of the present application can overcome the above shortcomings, and is an energy comprehensive utilization method with quality improvement and efficiency increase.

First, second and third pressure sampling points are arranged at the inlet of the coarse filter screen, the outlet of the fine filter screen and the outlet of the dehumidification membrane, respectively, and the pressure difference between any two of the sampling points is calculated by a pressure sensor. The pressure difference between the first and second sampling points can be used to determine the clogging of the filter screen and as a criterion for starting the filter screen cleaning operation. The pressure difference between the second and third sampling points can be used to determine the use of the dehumidification membrane and as a criterion for starting the dehumidification membrane regeneration operation.

[0099] In this embodiment, the filter screen cleaning operation of the air treatment module is specifically as follows:
[0100] S 8.1 : first, judge whether the condition for triggering the filter screen cleaning program is met, that is, when △p12> first threshold value △P12(1), judge that the self-cleaning operation program needs to be entered in the next release working condition;
[0101] S 8.2During the filter cleaning operation, the low-temperature intake switch valve, the third purification bypass valve and the fourth purification bypass valve are kept open, other valves are closed, and the fan is stopped or rotates at a low frequency. This process is to make cold air and a small amount of hot air meet at the filter and condense water droplets. If the air temperature is further reduced, the condensed water will further freeze on the surface of the coarse filter and the fine filter. Because the freezing process of the condensed water will slightly expand in the filter holes and entrap solid particles, the particles are stripped from the surface of the filter. This stage is the cleaning stage.
[0102] S 8.3 After the preset cleaning time is reached, the third purification bypass valve and the low-temperature intake switch valve are closed, and the drain valve is opened.

[0105] S 9.1 First, it is judged whether the condition for triggering the filter anti-condensation program is met. In the energy storage working condition, that is, when △p12> the second threshold value △P12(2) but △p12< the first threshold value △p12(1), or when the air humidity measured by the second temperature and humidity sensor is greater than the first preset humidity and the duration is greater than the first preset time, it is judged that the current running state has a high risk of condensation.
[0106] S 9.2 The waste heat air supply switch valve and the first purification bypass valve are opened. This process is to introduce high-temperature air after absorbing the waste heat of the cooling system such as the compressor / expander to the air treatment module, so as to alleviate the condensation risk of the air or blow off the condensed liquid that has been dried, realize the reduction of air humidity, and prevent a large amount of condensation from occurring during the intake process to block the filter.
[0107] S 9.3 △p12 and φ2 are continuously monitored. When △p12< the second threshold value △P12(2) or the energy storage working condition is ended, the filter anti-condensation operation process can be stopped.
[0108] In this embodiment, the dehumidification membrane regeneration operation of the air treatment module is performed according to the following steps:
[0109] S 10.1 :Firstly, it is judged whether the condition of triggering the dehumidification membrane regeneration procedure is met, when the humidity difference △φ23 measured by the second air temperature and humidity sensor and the third air temperature and humidity sensor is less than the first preset humidity difference △φ(1) and / or the measured humidity value φ3 of the third air temperature and humidity sensor is greater than the second preset humidity φ(2), it is judged that the current dehumidification membrane saturation degree is high, and the regeneration operation is needed;
[0110] S 10.2 :Start the waste heat air supply on-off valve, the second purification bypass valve and the fourth purification bypass valve, the air inlet control valve of the first stage compressor is closed, and the fan is reversed at the same time, in this process, the high temperature air after absorbing the waste heat of the compressor / expander cooling system is guided to the dehumidification membrane area, the water in the dehumidification membrane is separated from the membrane by high temperature gas heating, and the separated high humidity air is discharged from the air treatment module inlet by reversing the fan, and the dehumidification membrane regeneration is completed;
[0111] S 10.3 :Continuously monitor △φ23 and φ3, when the preset regeneration time is reached and / or △φ23>the first preset humidity difference △φ(1) and / or φ3 is greater than the second preset humidity φ(2), the dehumidification membrane regeneration operation process is stopped.
