Technical Field

[0002] In recent years, the power system with new energy as the main body has developed rapidly. The low-carbon transformation of the energy industry has become the key to achieving the "dual carbon" goal. However, due to the intermittent and uncertain characteristics of new energy, its large-scale grid connection may bring about problems such as unstable grid operation. Combining electric energy with energy storage systems can optimize electric energy distribution, reduce energy waste, and improve the stability of the power system. At present, there are many types of energy storage technologies. Considering the output power, efficiency, life, operating cost, storage cycle and other aspects of the energy storage system, compressed air energy storage is one of the energy storage technologies suitable for large-scale system operation. It can be used in power system frequency regulation, peak regulation, energy management, standby and other fields. According to the heat management method of air during the compression process, compressed air energy storage can be divided into non-adiabatic compressed air energy storage, adiabatic compressed air energy storage and isothermal compressed air energy storage. Among them, the isothermal compressed air energy storage route has low operating parameters and high theoretical efficiency, and can abandon heat storage and cold storage. Heat storage / cold storage has problems such as expensive phase change materials, difficult storage of heat storage media and high heat transfer resistance.
[0003] In the existing technology, conventional water mist spraying can effectively reduce the temperature rise of compressed air, but the isothermal air compression energy storage method using this technology still cannot precisely control the temperature stability and is difficult to maintain a high energy storage efficiency. In addition, due to the influence of environmental water vapor, the thermodynamic properties of air change, which will affect the air compression energy storage efficiency. Using flash spray cooling can more precisely control the temperature stability and reduce the impact on the thermodynamic properties of the ambient gas, but this technology also has the problem of difficulty in cooling liquid recovery and high energy consumption of droplet breakage.
[0004] Therefore, the prior art has defects and needs to be improved and developed. Summary of the invention

[0014] In a second aspect of the embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method for an isothermal air compression energy storage device based on high-voltage electrostatic field-enhanced flash spray space heat dissipation, comprising:
[0015] Step 1: Turn on the motor to draw dry air into the air isothermal compression chamber;
[0016] Step 2: The coolant in the low-temperature medium storage tank is respectively transported to the cicada-wing type high heat flux density bionic microchannel and the first ultra-micro solenoid valve through the first three-way valve; the first ultra-micro solenoid valve is adjusted to control the coolant flow rate, and the coolant is transported to the first charged spray chamber; the main controller controls the high-voltage electrostatic generator to start the needle-shaped electrode in the first charged spray chamber and generate corona, promote the coolant droplet to break and charge, and adjust the coolant droplet size;

When the temperature reaches the required temperature, the main controller controls the first ultra-micro solenoid valve to adjust the opening, so that the coolant droplets are transported from the first charged spray chamber to the refrigeration nozzle for flash evaporation and spraying.

[0018] Step 4: Open the air outlet of the air isothermal compression chamber to discharge the air, and the air carries the trace coolant droplets released during the compression process into the first gas-liquid separator with a mesh electrode and the mesh electrode has been activated. Under the action of electric field coupling, the trace coolant droplets in the air are quickly captured to achieve gas-liquid separation; the coolant separated from the first gas-liquid separator enters the ninth pipeline and meets the eighth pipeline connected to the cicada wing-shaped high heat flux density bionic microchannel, and the mixed coolant enters the nanofluid pipeline through the eighth pipeline; the high-pressure air separated from the first gas-liquid separator is dried by the dryer and then enters the air storage tank to complete the high-pressure air storage;

The gas passing through the second gas-liquid separator is discharged to the outside through the gas outlet of the second gas-liquid separator, and the coolant enters the heat exchanger through the fifth pipeline.

[0021] Furthermore, the temperature in the air isothermal compression chamber is maintained to be stable within a range of 99% to 101% of the required temperature.
[0022] Beneficial effects:
[0023] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the present invention provides an isothermal air compression energy storage device and method based on high-voltage electrostatic field-enhanced flash spray space heat dissipation:
[0024] 1. Ultra-micro solenoid valves are used to precisely control the coolant flow parameters, and high-voltage electrostatic generators are used to achieve fine droplet breakup and charging, which further increases the gas-liquid contact area during air compression and expansion, and improves the heat exchange efficiency during air energy storage.
[0025] 2. Conductors are arranged in the air isothermal compression chamber, the piston of the isothermal expander, and the outlet of the working fluid. The spatial electric field generated during the working process can enhance the heat and mass exchange between the droplets and the surrounding gas. The amount of refrigerant used is greatly reduced, and the cooling and heating efficiency is improved; at the same time, the refrigerant can be deposited in a targeted manner, which is convenient for the recovery of the coolant and prevents the volatilization of the liquid from affecting the thermophysical properties of the air.
[0026] 3. Combining the principles of bionics, a special cicada-wing-shaped high heat flux density bionic microchannel is arranged for the air isothermal compression chamber. This channel maximizes the cooling capacity of the coolant and further recovers the excess low-quality heat energy, ensuring the thermal uniformity of the air compression process and avoiding the influence of the external ambient temperature on the compression conditions.
[0027] 4. Taking full advantage of the charge performance of the droplets, the mesh electrodes of the gas-liquid separation device are arranged at the outermost periphery, and the gas-liquid separation channel is in a spiral shape. When the coolant droplets enter the gas-liquid separation device along with the air, the gas-liquid can be efficiently separated under the combined action of the electric field traction generated by the outer mesh electrodes and the centrifugal force of the rotation process.
[0028] 5. Using solar photovoltaic panels as the energy source of the system, nanofluid pipes are designed around the photovoltaic panels to make full use of solar energy of different wavelengths. The cooling liquid after cooling is mixed with nanoparticles to maintain the constant temperature of the solar panel while absorbing energy of a specific wavelength, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the system. The high-temperature refrigeration liquid is used in the isothermal expansion process of air to achieve efficient utilization of multi-quality energy and facilitate the stable operation of the energy storage device.

[0059] Step 2: The coolant in the low-temperature medium storage tank 8 is respectively delivered to the cicada-wing high heat flux bionic microchannel 4 and the first ultra-micro solenoid valve 12 through the first three-way valve 9; the first ultra-micro solenoid valve 12 is adjusted to control the coolant flow rate, and the coolant is delivered to the first charged spray chamber 13; the main controller 37 controls the high-voltage electrostatic generator 38 to start the needle-shaped electrode in the first charged spray chamber 13 and generate corona, promote the coolant droplet to break and charge, and adjust the coolant droplet size. The coolant can be water.
[0060] Step three: start the piston 40 to compress the air, and the first temperature probe detects the temperature of the compressed air. When the temperature reaches the required temperature, in some embodiments, the set temperature range is when the temperature exceeds 1% of the required temperature. The main controller 37 controls the first ultra-micro solenoid valve 12 to adjust the opening, so that the coolant droplets are transported from the first charged spray chamber 13 to the refrigeration nozzle 14 for flash evaporation and spraying. At this time, the gas and liquid in the air isothermal compression chamber 2 quickly produce heat exchange, and the first conductor 41 and the second conductor 42 form an electric field to enhance the gas-liquid heat and mass exchange, while promoting the migration and deposition of droplets for subsequent extraction; at the same time, the coolant in the cicada-wing-shaped high heat flux density bionic microchannel 4 keeps flowing, maintains the temperature stability in the air isothermal compression chamber 2, and cooperates with the flash spray sprayed by the refrigeration nozzle 14 to realize air isothermal compression energy storage.
[0061] Step 4: Open the air outlet of the air isothermal compression chamber 2 to discharge the air. The air carries the trace coolant droplets released during the compression process into the first gas-liquid separator 6 with a mesh electrode 43 and the mesh electrode 43 has been activated. Under the action of the electric field coupling, the trace coolant droplets in the air are quickly captured to achieve gas-liquid separation; the coolant separated from the first gas-liquid separator 6 enters the ninth pipeline 30 and meets the eighth pipeline 29 connected to the cicada-wing-shaped high heat flux density bionic microchannel 4. The mixed coolant enters the nanofluid pipeline 28 through the eighth pipeline 29; the high-pressure air separated from the first gas-liquid separator 6 is dried by the dryer 7 and then enters the air storage tank 5 to complete the high-pressure air storage.
[0062] Step 5: Continuously start the solar panel 35, the circulating pump 36 and the heat exchanger 19, the coolant liquid entering the nanofluid pipe 28 cooperates with the nanoparticles in the nanofluid pipe 28 to pass through the solar panel 35, the coolant absorbs heat, the temperature rises, and part of the high-temperature coolant flows out when passing through the tenth pipe 31; the remaining coolant circulates in the nanofluid pipe 28 under the drive of the circulating pump 36; the outflowing high-temperature coolant increases the temperature through the heat exchanger 19, flows through the sixth pipe 23 through the second three-way valve 22, enters the second ultra-micro solenoid valve 25, and then enters the second charged spray chamber 26; the coolant droplets pass through the corona from the second charged spray chamber 26 to the heating nozzle 27, at this time, the high-pressure air stored in the air storage tank 5 enters the isothermal expander 15 through the fourth pipe 17, and is flash-sprayed by the heating nozzle 27 to release the latent heat of the droplets. The isothermal expander 15 has the same electric field structure as the air isothermal compression chamber 2, and the gas-liquid heat exchange is enhanced, and the droplets are quickly collected.
[0063] The mechanism of this process is the same as that in the air isothermal compression chamber 2, both of which use the latent heat of droplets to control the temperature of the air working process. The compression process is accompanied by temperature rise, so low-temperature coolant is used for flash spraying and charging to complete the work and collection. The air expansion process is accompanied by a decrease in temperature, so high-temperature coolant is used for flash spraying and charging to release heat to the environment to complete the work task and collection requirements. The charging effect can enhance the heat absorption and release phenomenon, facilitate the collection of working fluids and the separation of gas and liquid, and achieve the requirements with minimal energy consumption. The coolant liquid entering the nanofluid pipeline 28 cooperates with the nanoparticles to absorb the specific spectrum energy of solar energy in the process of passing through the solar panel 35, maintain the constant temperature of the photovoltaic panel, and ensure the photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0064] Step six: the isothermal expander 15 drives the isothermal air to drive the generator 16 to operate; the gas that has completed the work is discharged from the fifth pipeline 18, and the carried droplets pass through the second gas-liquid separator 20. The gas passing through the second gas-liquid separator 20 is discharged to the outside through the outlet of the second gas-liquid separator 20, and the coolant enters the heat exchanger 19 through the fifth pipeline 18. The coolant in the heat exchanger 19 passes through the third three-way valve 32 connected to the outlet of the heat exchanger 19. The third three-way valve 32 is used to make the coolant flow through the eleventh pipeline 33 and introduced into the low-temperature medium storage tank 8 for storage, or introduced into the twelfth pipeline 34 to participate in the next air isothermal compression process.
[0065] In the above steps, the heat exchanger 19 can transfer the heat of the low-temperature coolant to the high-temperature coolant, increase the temperature of the higher-temperature coolant and reduce the temperature of the lower-temperature coolant, and pass the required coolant into the required compression and expansion components. Among them, when the system compressor does not work or the operating point is low, the third three-way valve 32 changes the valve opening to pass the coolant into the low-temperature medium storage tank 8 for storage; similarly, when the system expander does not work or the operating point is low, the second three-way valve 22 adjusts the valve opening to store the excess high-temperature coolant into the high-temperature medium storage tank 21, thereby completing the fine circulation of the coolant.
[0066] In some embodiments, the flash spray time is continuously changed according to the refrigeration demand, so it is necessary to maintain the temperature in the air isothermal compression chamber 2 to be stable within a range of 99% to 101% of the required temperature.
[0067] In summary, the present invention provides an isothermal air compression energy storage device and method based on high-voltage electrostatic field-enhanced flash spray spatial heat dissipation. The ultra-micro solenoid valve is used to accurately control the coolant flow parameters, and the high-voltage electrostatic generator is combined to achieve fine droplet fragmentation and charging, which further increases the gas-liquid contact area during air compression and expansion, and improves the heat exchange efficiency during air energy storage. Conductors are arranged at the air isothermal compression chamber 2, the piston 40 of the isothermal expander 15, and the outlet of the working fluid. The spatial electric field generated during the working process can enhance the heat and mass exchange between the droplets and the surrounding gas. The amount of refrigerant is greatly reduced, and the cooling and heating efficiency is improved; at the same time, the refrigerant can be deposited in a targeted manner, which is convenient for the recovery of the coolant and avoids the volatilization of the liquid affecting the thermophysical properties of the air. In combination with the principle of bionics, a special cicada wing-shaped high heat flux density bionic microchannel 4 is arranged for the air isothermal compression chamber 2. The channel maximizes the cooling capacity of the coolant, further recovers the excess low-quality thermal energy, ensures the thermal uniformity during the air compression process, and avoids the influence of the external ambient temperature on the compression condition. Taking full advantage of the charging performance of the droplets, the mesh electrode 43 of the gas-liquid separation device is arranged at the outermost periphery, and the gas-liquid separation channel is in a spiral shape. When the coolant droplets enter the gas-liquid separation device with the air, the gas-liquid efficient separation can be achieved under the combined action of the electric field traction force generated by the outer mesh electrode 43 and the centrifugal force of the rotation process. The solar photovoltaic panel is used as the energy source of the system, and the nanofluid pipeline 28 is designed around the photovoltaic panel to make full use of solar energy of different wavelengths, mix the coolant after cooling work with the nanoparticles, and maintain the temperature of the solar panel 35 constant while absorbing the energy of a specific wavelength, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the system. The high-temperature refrigeration liquid is used in the isothermal expansion process of the air to achieve efficient utilization of multi-quality energy and facilitate the stable operation of the energy storage device. The present invention can be applied to various environments and regions, and can achieve efficient energy storage, especially in areas lacking stable electricity but with abundant solar energy resources. In these areas, the isothermal air compression energy storage device based on high-voltage electrostatic field-enhanced flash spray space heat dissipation can achieve self-supply of system operation energy during the day, and the multi-composite process can convert low-quality electrical energy into high-quality electrical energy demand. Moreover, the energy consumption required during the system's self-operation process is extremely low, and it has considerable economic benefits and energy advantages.

A person with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be determined by the definition of the claims.
