Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air energy storage, and in particular to a system and method for compressed air energy storage based on an idle hydraulic tunnel. Background Art

[0002] Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is a technology that converts electrical energy into compressed air and stores it, releasing it to generate electricity when needed. The principle of the technology is to use electricity during low electricity price periods (such as nighttime electricity) to drive a compressor to compress and store air; during high electricity price periods (such as peak daytime electricity consumption), the compressed air is released and the generator is driven by an expander to generate electricity, thereby achieving peak and valley regulation and balancing of electricity.

[0003] Safety is an important consideration in compressed air energy storage systems. During system operation, in order to prevent the internal pressure from being too high, the pressure will be released. However, when to release and when to stop the release are determined by the staff's experience, which places high technical requirements on the staff. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the existing compressed air energy storage system based on idle hydraulic tunnels, the present invention is proposed.

[0005] Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is that the time for releasing the pressure and stopping the pressure release cannot be determined.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a system for storing compressed air energy based on an idle hydraulic tunnel, which comprises:

[0008] The gas storage subsystem comprises a cavern and a spare tank connected to the cavern via a safety valve;

[0009] an air compression subsystem connected to the air storage subsystem, comprising a motor, a compressor connected to the motor, a first heat exchanger connected to the compressor, and a first storage bin connected to an output end of the first heat exchanger;

[0010] a power generation subsystem connected to the other side of the gas storage subsystem, comprising a second heat exchanger, a second storage bin connected to the output end of the second heat exchanger, an air expander connected to the second heat exchanger, and a generator connected to the air expander; and,

[0011] A power grid subsystem, wherein the output end of the power grid subsystem is connected to the air compression subsystem, and the input end of the power grid subsystem is connected to the power generation subsystem.

[0012] As a preferred solution of the system for compressed air energy storage based on idle hydraulic tunnels described in the present invention, multiple groups of sensors are arranged inside the cave body and the spare bin to detect the pressure inside the cave body and the spare bin.

[0013] As a preferred solution of the system for compressed air energy storage based on idle hydraulic tunnels described in the present invention, multiple groups of temperature sensors are arranged inside the first storage bin and the second storage bin to detect the internal temperature of the first storage bin and the second storage bin.

[0014] As a preferred solution of the system for compressed air energy storage based on idle hydraulic tunnels of the present invention, wherein: the output end of the power grid subsystem is also connected to the city circuit;

[0015] The gas storage subsystem, air compression subsystem, power generation subsystem and power grid subsystem are controlled through the central control terminal.

[0016] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for storing compressed air energy based on an idle hydraulic tunnel, which comprises the following steps:

[0017] During off-peak hours, the excess electricity in the grid subsystem is transmitted to the motor, which drives the compressor to compress the air.

[0018] The compressed air is transferred to the interior of the cavern for storage;

[0019] During peak electricity usage, the cavern releases the compressed air;

[0020] The released air enters the air expander, which drives the generator to run and transmit the generated electricity to the grid subsystem.

[0021] As a preferred solution of the method for storing compressed air energy based on an idle hydraulic tunnel according to the present invention, when the cavern stores compressed air, the internal pressure is detected by a set sensor, and whether to transmit the air to the spare tank through a safety valve is selected according to the monitoring result, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0022] Set a pressure threshold K. When the pressure is detected to be no greater than the threshold K, the safety valve is in a closed state.

[0023] When the pressure detected is greater than the threshold value K, the safety valve is in the open state, and the air inside the cave enters the spare compartment through the safety valve;

[0024] Set a protection threshold L. When the pressure detected is less than the threshold L, the safety valve is closed to interrupt the air transmission from the cave to the spare compartment.

[0025] The steps for setting the protection threshold L are as follows:

[0026] When electricity is used during valley hours, the pressure difference before and after the air compression subsystem outputs compressed air to the cave is collected, and the protection threshold L is obtained according to the calculation formula. The calculation formula is:

[0027] L=[α·(λ)]·φ

[0028] In the formula, L represents the protection threshold, α represents the weight value, λ represents the pressure difference, and φ represents the safety value, which is 0 or 1.

[0029] As a preferred solution of the method for compressed air energy storage based on idle hydraulic tunnels described in the present invention, when the pressure value inside the cave is obtained by multiple sets of sensors, the difference between the maximum pressure value and the minimum pressure value is calculated, and it is determined whether the difference is greater than a preset value. When the difference is not greater than the preset value, all pressure values ​​are marked as qualified. When the difference is greater than the preset value, the screening value is calculated. The specific calculation method is:

[0030]

[0031] Where P smax Expressed as the maximum screening value, P smin Expressed as the minimum screening value, P max Expressed as the maximum pressure value, P max-n Expressed as the second largest pressure value, P min Expressed as the minimum pressure value, P min-n Expressed as the second smallest pressure value;

[0032] Determine the difference between the screening value and the average value, and the calculation formula is:

[0033]

[0034] Where P n It means the pressure value detected by the nth sensor, n is the number of sensors, P AVG Expressed as the average pressure, P Amax It is expressed as the difference between the maximum screening value and the average value, P Amin It is expressed as the difference between the minimum screening value and the average value;

[0035] When P Amax >P Amin , the maximum pressure value is deleted and a new maximum pressure value is obtained;

[0036] When PAmax <P Amin , the minimum pressure value is deleted and a new minimum pressure value is obtained;

[0037] When P Amax =P Amin , the maximum pressure value and the minimum pressure value are deleted, and new maximum pressure value and minimum pressure value are obtained again;

[0038] The difference between the new maximum pressure value and the new minimum pressure value is re-determined until the difference is less than the preset value.

[0039] As a preferred solution of the method for compressed air energy storage based on idle hydraulic tunnels according to the present invention, the operation steps of the air compression subsystem include:

[0040] The motor receives power from the grid subsystem and drives the compressor to run. The air enters the compressor, and the compressor completes the compression and output of the air, causing the air to heat up. The air is then cooled by the first heat exchanger, and the heat is stored in the first storage bin. The cooled air then enters the cavern.

[0041] When the air enters the compressor, it will be filtered by the filter mechanism at the inlet of the compressor. The filter mechanism is a filter with a pore size of 3 to 6 mm.

[0042] As a preferred solution of the method for storing compressed air energy based on idle hydraulic tunnels according to the present invention, the operation steps of the power generation subsystem include:

[0043] The air released from the cave flows through the pipeline into the second heat exchanger. The second storage bin injects heat into the second heat exchanger to heat up the air flowing through it. The air then enters the air expander, which drives the generator to run, so that the electricity generated by the generator is transmitted to the power grid subsystem.

[0044] When the second storage bin injects heat into the second heat exchanger, the temperature inside the second storage bin is obtained, and the opening and closing state of the second storage bin outlet valve is selected according to the judgment conditions:

[0045] The judgment condition is: preset the judgment temperature value Q and the minimum limit W, compare the temperature inside the second storage bin with the judgment temperature value Q and the minimum limit W, when the temperature inside the second storage bin is not less than the judgment temperature value Q, the outlet valve opening and closing state is half-open, when the temperature inside the second storage bin is less than the judgment temperature value Q and greater than the minimum limit W, the outlet valve opening and closing state is fully open, when the temperature inside the second storage bin is not greater than the minimum limit W, the outlet valve opening and closing state is closed;

[0046] Among them, the opening and closing states of the outlet valve include a closed state, a half-open state and a fully open state.

[0047] As a preferred solution of the method for compressed air energy storage based on idle hydraulic tunnels of the present invention, when the power grid subsystem outputs power to the air compression subsystem or when the power grid subsystem receives power from the power generation subsystem, the current is set to the minimum flow rate, and after X time, it is determined whether the system is abnormal:

[0048] When no abnormality occurs, the setting of the minimum flow rate is cancelled;

[0049] When an abnormality occurs, an alarm is issued to the staff.

[0050] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: due to the use of the spare bin, the excess pressure inside the cave can be released in time, and the pressure in the cave can be monitored in real time to prevent waste caused by excessive pressure release, and the systematic calculation can ensure that the numerical value is more accurate, and there is no need to make judgments based on manual experience in the past. Secondly, by using the second storage bin, the released air can be heated, and by adjusting the opening and closing state of the outlet valve, the flow rate of heat transfer can be adjusted to ensure that the air temperature meets the optimal standard.

[0059] Example 1

[0060] Reference Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a system for storing compressed air energy based on an idle hydraulic tunnel, comprising:

[0061] The gas storage subsystem 100 includes a cavern 101 and a spare tank 102 connected to the cavern 101 via a safety valve;

[0062] The air compression subsystem 200 connected to the air storage subsystem 100 includes a motor 201, a compressor 202 connected to the motor 201, a first heat exchanger 203 connected to the compressor 202, and a first storage bin 204 connected to an output end of the first heat exchanger 203;

[0063] A power generation subsystem 300 connected to the other side of the gas storage subsystem 100, comprising a second heat exchanger 301, a second storage bin 302 connected to the output end of the second heat exchanger 301, an air expander 303 connected to the second heat exchanger 301, and a generator 304 connected to the air expander 303; and,

[0064] The power grid subsystem 400 has an output end connected to the air compression subsystem 200 , and an input end connected to the power generation subsystem 300 .

[0065] Furthermore, multiple sets of sensors are provided inside the cavity 101 and the spare chamber 102 for detecting the pressure inside the cavity 101 and the spare chamber 102 , and the pressure inside the cavity 101 and the spare chamber 102 can be effectively detected.

[0066] Furthermore, multiple groups of temperature sensors are set inside the first storage bin 204 and the second storage bin 302 to detect the internal temperature of the first storage bin 204 and the second storage bin 302. The internal temperature of the first storage bin 204 and the second storage bin 302 is detected by the temperature sensors.

[0067] Preferably, the output end of the power grid subsystem 400 is also connected to the city circuit;

[0068] The gas storage subsystem 100, the air compression subsystem 200, the power generation subsystem 300 and the power grid subsystem 400 are controlled through the central control terminal, and the detection and control of the entire system are achieved through the central control terminal.

[0069] In summary, due to the use of the spare warehouse 102, the excess pressure inside the cave body 101 can be released in time, and the pressure inside the cave body 101 can be monitored in real time to prevent waste caused by excessive pressure release, and the systematic calculation can ensure that the numerical value is more accurate, and there is no need for judgment based on manual experience. Secondly, by using the second storage warehouse 302, the released air can be heated, and by adjusting the opening and closing state of the outlet valve, the flow rate of heat transfer can be adjusted to ensure that the air temperature meets the optimal standard.

[0070] Example 2

[0071] On the basis of the first embodiment, this embodiment further provides a method for storing compressed air energy based on an idle hydraulic tunnel, comprising the following steps:

[0072] When electricity is used during off-peak hours, the excess electricity of the power grid subsystem 400 is transmitted to the motor 201, which drives the compressor 202 to operate and complete the air compression;

[0073] The compressed air is transmitted to the interior of the cavity 101 for storage.

[0074] When the cavern 101 stores compressed air, the internal pressure is detected by a sensor, and whether to transmit the air to the spare chamber 102 through the safety valve is selected according to the monitoring result, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0075] Set a pressure threshold K. When the pressure is detected to be no greater than the threshold K, the safety valve is in a closed state.

[0076] When the pressure detected is greater than the threshold value K, the safety valve is in an open state, and the air inside the cavity 101 enters the spare chamber 102 through the safety valve;

[0077] A protection threshold L is set. When the pressure detected is less than the threshold L, the safety valve is closed to interrupt the air transmission from the cavity 101 to the spare compartment 102.

[0078] The steps for setting the protection threshold L are as follows:

[0079] When electricity is used during valley hours, the pressure difference before and after the air compression subsystem 200 outputs compressed air to the cave 101 is collected, and the protection threshold L is obtained according to the calculation formula. The calculation formula is:

[0080] L=[α·(λ)]·φ

[0081] In the formula, L represents the protection threshold, α represents the weight value, λ represents the pressure difference, and φ represents the safety value, which is 0 or 1;

[0082] For example, the pressure threshold K is set to 5MPa, and the average value of the pressure values ​​detected by the multiple groups of sensors installed inside the cave 101 is calculated, and the average value is compared with the pressure threshold K. When the pressure is not greater than the pressure threshold K, it means that the inside of the cave 101 is still in a stable state and there is no need to open the safety valve. When the pressure is greater than the pressure threshold K, it means that the pressure inside the cave 101 is relatively high, so the safety valve is opened to release the pressure. When the pressure is released, the sensor will detect the pressure inside the cave 101 in real time.

[0083] Regarding the setting of the protection threshold L, the protection threshold L is calculated by obtaining the pressure difference before and after the air compression subsystem 200 outputs compressed air to the cave 101 for the last time. During the calculation, the weight value α decreases as the length of time the air compression subsystem 200 outputs compressed air to the cave 101 for the last time increases, and α∈[0.5,2].

[0084] When the pressure value inside the cave 101 is obtained by multiple sets of sensors, the difference between the maximum pressure value and the minimum pressure value is calculated, and it is determined whether the difference is greater than a preset value. When the difference is not greater than the preset value, all pressure values ​​are marked as qualified. When the difference is greater than the preset value, the screening value is calculated. The specific calculation method is:

[0085]

[0086] Where P smax Expressed as the maximum screening value, P smin Expressed as the minimum screening value, P max Expressed as the maximum pressure value, P max-n Expressed as the second largest pressure value, P min Expressed as the minimum pressure value, P min-n Expressed as the second smallest pressure value;

[0087] For example, the pressure values ​​inside the cave 101 obtained by multiple sets of sensors are 3.5MPa, 3.8MPa, 4MPa, 4.4MPa, 4.6MPa and 4.8MPa, among which the difference between the maximum pressure value and the minimum pressure value is 1.3MPa, and when the preset value is set to 1.5, all are marked as qualified. When the preset value is set to 1.2, the screening value is calculated, and the calculation method is: the absolute value of 4.8-4.6 and the absolute value of 3.5-3.8, that is, the maximum screening value P is obtained. smax is 0.2, the minimum screening value P smin is 0.3;

[0088] Determine the difference between the screening value and the average value, and the calculation formula is:

[0089]

[0090] Where P n It means the pressure value detected by the nth sensor, n is the number of sensors, P AVG Expressed as the average pressure, P Amax It is expressed as the difference between the maximum screening value and the average value, P Amin It is expressed as the difference between the minimum screening value and the average value;

[0091] When P Amax >P Amin , the maximum pressure value is deleted and a new maximum pressure value is obtained;

[0092] When P Amax <P Amin , the minimum pressure value is deleted and a new minimum pressure value is obtained;

[0093] When P Amax =PAmin , the maximum pressure value and the minimum pressure value are deleted, and new maximum pressure value and minimum pressure value are obtained again;

[0094] Re-determine the difference between the new maximum pressure value and the new minimum pressure value until the difference is less than the preset value;

[0095] When the calculated average value is 4.18MPa, the difference between the maximum screening value and the average value and the difference between the minimum screening value and the average value are calculated to be 3.98 and 3.88 respectively. At this time, the judgment condition is met. Amax <P Amin , then delete the minimum pressure value, obtain a new minimum pressure value, and repeat the calculation.

[0096] The operation steps of the air compression subsystem 200 include:

[0097] The motor 201 receives power from the power grid subsystem 400 and drives the compressor 202 to operate. The air enters the compressor 202, and is compressed and output by the compressor 202, so that the air is heated. The air is cooled by the first heat exchanger 203, and the heat is stored in the first storage bin 204. The cooled air then enters the cave 101.

[0098] When the air enters the compressor 202, it will be filtered by the filter mechanism at the entrance of the compressor 202. The filter mechanism is a filter with a pore size of 3 to 6 mm. Through the setting of the filter mechanism, the compressed air can be purified.

[0099] During peak electricity usage, the cavern 101 releases the compressed air;

[0100] The released air enters the air expander 303 , drives the generator 304 to operate through the air expander 303 , and transmits the generated electricity to the power grid subsystem 400 .

[0101] The operation steps of the power generation subsystem 300 include:

[0102] The air released from the cave 101 flows through the pipeline into the second heat exchanger 301. The second storage bin 302 injects heat into the second heat exchanger 301 to heat the air flowing through it. The air then enters the air expander 303, and the air expander 303 drives the generator 304 to operate, so that the generator 304 generates electricity and transmits it to the power grid subsystem 400.

[0103] When the second storage bin 302 injects heat into the second heat exchanger 301, the temperature inside the second storage bin 302 is obtained, and the opening and closing state of the outlet valve of the second storage bin 302 is selected according to the judgment condition:

[0104] The judgment condition is: preset the judgment temperature value Q and the minimum limit W, compare the temperature inside the second storage bin 302 with the judgment temperature value Q and the minimum limit W, when the temperature inside the second storage bin 302 is not less than the judgment temperature value Q, the outlet valve opening and closing state is half-open, when the temperature inside the second storage bin 302 is less than the judgment temperature value Q and greater than the minimum limit W, the outlet valve opening and closing state is fully open, when the temperature inside the second storage bin 302 is not greater than the minimum limit W, the outlet valve opening and closing state is closed;

[0105] Among them, the opening and closing states of the outlet valve include a closed state, a half-open state and a fully open state;

[0106] During implementation, the preset judgment temperature value Q is 80°C and the minimum limit W is 50°C. When the temperature inside the second storage bin 302 is 70°C, the outlet valve for the second storage bin 302 to output heat to the second heat exchanger 301 is fully open. According to the same judgment method, when the temperature inside the second storage bin 302 is 90°C, the outlet valve for the second storage bin 302 to output heat to the second heat exchanger 301 is half open. When the temperature inside the second storage bin 302 is 40°C, the outlet valve is closed. At this time, the air is heated according to other methods.

[0107] When the power grid subsystem 400 outputs power to the air compression subsystem 200 or receives power from the power generation subsystem 300, the power grid subsystem 400 sets the current to the lowest flow rate and determines whether the system is abnormal after X time:

[0108] When no abnormality occurs, the setting of the minimum flow rate is cancelled;

[0109] When an abnormality occurs, an alarm is issued to the staff;

[0110] For example, when the power grid subsystem 400 outputs electricity to the air compression subsystem 200, the current in normal use is 20A. Within X time, the current is set to the minimum flow rate, that is, the output current is 5A, to detect whether the system is running correctly. When it is running normally, the minimum flow rate setting is canceled and the system runs in a normal manner.
