[0002] In the context of rapid development of new energy, new energy storage has become one of the key links in building a new power system. Liquid carbon dioxide energy storage converts electrical energy into thermal energy and potential energy of carbon dioxide to achieve energy storage. Compared with air, carbon dioxide is easier to liquefy, does not need to rely on underground caves, and has more flexible site selection. In addition, carbon dioxide has high specific heat capacity, good heat transfer performance, lower parasitic energy consumption, and higher system efficiency. Therefore, liquid carbon dioxide energy storage has the advantages of ultra-long time, large scale, high flexibility, high efficiency, and high energy storage density, and has more development prospects.

The heat transfer coefficient of conventional heat exchangers is low, resulting in the heat exchange system occupying too much area. In addition, a series of high and low temperature heat exchangers are required in the liquid carbon dioxide energy storage system. The larger the energy storage scale of the energy storage system, the greater the heat exchange capacity, and the size and cost of the heat exchanger increase accordingly, resulting in an increase in the initial investment in system construction.

The low-pressure liquid storage module 1, the first heat exchange component 2, the compressor 3, the second heat exchange component 4 and the high-pressure liquid storage module 5 form an energy storage passage. The high-pressure liquid storage module 5, the second heat exchange component 4, the expander 6, the first heat exchange component 2 and the low-pressure liquid storage module 1 form an energy release passage. The low-pressure liquid storage module 1 and the first heat exchange component 2 are provided with a throttle valve 7 in the energy storage passage and a first on-off valve 8 in the energy release passage; the input end and the output end of the compressor 3 are both provided with a second on-off valve 9 in the energy storage passage; the input end and the output end of the expander 6 are both provided with a third on-off valve 10 in the energy release passage. The first heat exchange component 2 and the second heat exchange component 4 each include two heat exchangers connected in sequence, and all heat exchangers are connected to the heat storage tank and the cold storage tank. During operation, the energy storage system switches between an energy storage state and an energy release state.
[0033] In the energy storage state, the throttle valve 7 and the second on-off valve 9 are opened, and the first on-off valve 8 and the third on-off valve 10 are closed; the liquid carbon dioxide in the low-pressure liquid storage module 1 passes through the opened throttle valve 7 under the action of the pressure difference, and is converted into gas-liquid two-phase carbon dioxide under the action of throttling gasification, and enters the first heat exchange component 2. The two heat exchangers in the first heat exchange component 2 respectively exchange heat with the carbon dioxide input into the first heat exchange component 2 through the heat exchange medium input from the corresponding heat storage tank, so that the gas-liquid two-phase carbon dioxide is gradually heated in the first heat exchange component 2, and the gaseous carbon dioxide is output, and the heat exchange medium is transported to the corresponding cold storage tank for storage. The gaseous carbon dioxide output from the first heat exchange component 2 is input into the compressor 3 through the opened second on-off valve 9; the compressor 3 consumes electric energy to pressurize the gaseous carbon dioxide output from the first heat exchange component 2, and then inputs it into the second heat exchange component 4 through the opened second on-off valve 9.

The expander 8 performs work externally through the expansion of gaseous carbon dioxide and releases energy to complete the energy release. The carbon dioxide output by the expander 8 is input into the first heat exchange component 2 through the opened third on-off valve 10. The two heat exchangers in the first heat exchange component 2 respectively exchange heat with the carbon dioxide input into the first heat exchange component 2 through the heat exchange medium input from the corresponding heat storage tank, so that the gaseous carbon dioxide is gradually cooled in the first heat exchange component 2, and liquid carbon dioxide is obtained and transported to the low-pressure liquid storage module 1 for storage through the first on-off valve 8, and the heat exchange medium is transported to the corresponding heat storage tank for storage.

On-off valves are arranged at the gas output ports and gas input ports of the two liquid storage tanks.
[0039] In the initial state, both liquid storage tanks store liquid phase change materials, and one of the liquid storage tanks stores liquid carbon dioxide; or the two liquid storage tanks store liquid phase change materials and solid phase change materials respectively.

The second heat exchange component 4 exchanges heat with the gaseous carbon dioxide through the phase change materials stored in the two heat exchangers, reduces the temperature of the gaseous carbon dioxide, converts it into liquid carbon dioxide and inputs it into the high-pressure liquid storage module 5, and the heat released by the gaseous carbon dioxide is stored by the second heat exchange component 4.
[0045] In the energy release state, the second on-off valve 9 is closed and the third on-off valve 10 is opened; the high-pressure liquid storage module 5 inputs liquid carbon dioxide into the energy release passage; the liquid carbon dioxide exchanges heat with the phase change material stored in the heat exchanger through the second heat exchange component 4, increases the temperature of the gaseous carbon dioxide, converts the liquid carbon dioxide into gaseous carbon dioxide, and the cold released by the carbon dioxide is stored by the second heat exchange component 4; the gaseous carbon dioxide output by the second heat exchange component 4 is input to the expansion machine 6 through the third on-off valve 10; the expansion machine 6 performs work externally through the expansion of the gaseous carbon dioxide, releases energy, and inputs it into the first heat exchange component 2 through the third on-off valve 10. The gaseous carbon dioxide exchanges heat with the phase change material stored in the heat exchanger through the first heat exchange component 2, reduces the temperature of the gaseous carbon dioxide, and is stored in the low-pressure liquid storage module 1, and the heat released by the gaseous carbon dioxide is stored by the first heat exchange component 2.
