Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of compressed air energy storage, in particular to a combined sealing lining structure of a compressed air energy storage power station underground cavern and a construction method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The compressed air energy storage technology is an environmentally friendly and efficient large-capacity long-time physical energy storage technology, which does not need to use fossil fuels and does not emit harmful substances, so it is friendly to the environment. This technology has a significant improvement effect on the time and space structure of power generation and power consumption of the power grid, and at the same time enhances the peak shaving capacity of the power grid and solves the intermittency problem of renewable energy. In China, this technology is being widely promoted and applied.

[0003] The compressed air energy storage system mainly uses ground steel tanks / steel pipes, salt rock caves and artificial lining caverns as high-pressure air storage containers. At present, large-scale storage devices mainly rely on salt caves and artificial lining caverns, and with the continuous advancement of industrialization, artificial lining caverns will become a widely used gas storage means. Unlike general underground caverns, artificial lining caverns used for gas storage need to withstand high internal pressure, high temperature changes and high frequency alternating loads, which poses new challenges to the design of the sealing layer of the cavern.

[0004] In traditional design, steel plates are often used as sealing materials, but they have high cost, good heat preservation performance but poor performance under high temperature load. Recent studies have shown that rubber materials have the basic conditions to become the sealing layer of high-pressure gas storage caverns, as they not only have low cost, but also have excellent mechanical properties and sealing performance. However, traditional rubber gas storage materials are usually manufactured in a whole structure, so they face some difficulties in the installation process of underground gas storage caverns. In traditional construction, workers often construct from the top of the cavern to the bottom of the vertical shaft opening for hoisting operations, which is extremely difficult and dangerous to operate. How to design a sealing lining structure that is easy to install, has high efficiency, excellent sealing performance, lower cost and safe construction has become a problem that needs to be solved. SUMMARY

Compared with the whole steel plate sealing layer, it is more convenient to install, has higher efficiency and lower cost; the operation platform and the sliding safety lock connection device can solve the problem of high operation difficulty and construction danger, and compared with the vertical shaft opening hanging construction, it is safer and easier to operate, and can provide help during the construction and operation of the underground cavern.
