Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of liquid air energy storage, and in particular to a liquid air energy storage subsystem and a coupling system. Background Art

[0002] Liquid air energy storage technology is clean, low-carbon, safe, long-life, and can provide rotational inertia support. It is one of the most competitive long-term energy storage technologies that can couple with renewable energy power generation and support new power systems. In the energy storage stage, the air enters the cold storage unit after being compressed, purified, and cooled. The liquid air obtained after cooling and liquefaction is stored in the liquid air storage tank, and the compression heat is stored in the heat storage unit. In the energy release stage, the liquid air first passes through the cold storage unit for gasification and reheating, and the cold is recovered. The reheated air enters the heat storage unit for heat storage and is heated by the recovered compression heat. The heated air enters the expansion unit to drive the generator to generate electricity. In this technology, the heat storage and cold storage unit is a key link in ensuring the efficiency of the liquid air energy storage subsystem.

[0003] In the current liquid air energy storage technology, in the heat storage unit, the heat accumulator usually uses chemicals such as thermal oil or molten salt as the heat storage medium to store heat, which poses the risk of heat storage medium leakage and safety hazards. In the cold storage unit, it is mainly divided into liquid phase cold storage technology and solid phase cold storage technology. Among them, solid phase cold storage technology uses rocks, gravel, glass balls, etc. as cold storage media. Compared with liquid phase cold storage technology that uses flammable and explosive media such as methanol and propane, it is safer and is one of the important directions for the large-scale development of large-scale liquid air energy storage technology in the future. However, due to the fact that the traditional normal pressure solid phase cold storage system produces a temperature slope layer during the interval between energy storage and release, the system efficiency is reduced, resulting in the liquid air energy storage technology based on the traditional solid phase cold storage method cannot be commercialized on a large scale.

[0004] In recent years, in order to solve the problem of low efficiency of liquid air energy storage subsystems based on traditional solid-phase cold storage technology, researchers have proposed liquid air energy storage technology including fluidized solid-phase cold storage, liquid air energy storage technology using combined solid-phase cold storage devices, and liquid air energy storage technology based on high-pressure solid-phase cold storage. Among them, the solid-phase cold storage method based on fluidization technology has problems such as fluidization wear of solid-phase cold storage medium and difficulty in automatic transportation and transportation control of solid-phase cold storage medium, which seriously restricts its large-scale application. Liquid air energy storage technology using combined solid-phase cold storage devices occupies a large area. When using high-pressure solid-phase cold storage devices to weaken the influence of the thermocline layer, safety hazards are introduced, which weakens the outstanding advantage of solid-phase cold storage in terms of high safety compared to liquid-phase cold storage. Therefore, the current liquid air energy storage technology has safety hazards in heat storage and cold storage units, and occupies a large area. Summary of the invention

In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples, unless they are contradictory.

[0034] Combine the following Figures 3 to 9 The liquid air energy storage subsystem of the present invention is described in detail.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, a specific embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid air energy storage subsystem. The liquid air energy storage subsystem includes a thermal storage unit 100 and a cold storage unit 200; both the thermal storage unit 100 and the cold storage unit 200 are buried underground; the cold storage unit 200 is connected to the thermal storage unit 100 by air. In the energy storage stage, the thermal storage unit 100 is used to store compression heat, and the cold storage unit 200 is used to pre-cool the compressed air discharged from the thermal storage unit 100 to liquefy the compressed air. In the energy release stage, the cold storage unit 200 is used to reheat the liquid air, and the thermal storage unit 100 is used to reheat the air discharged from the cold storage unit 200 to gasify the liquid air. Specifically, in the energy storage stage, high-temperature and high-pressure compressed air enters the thermal storage unit 100, stores the compression heat in the thermal storage unit 100, and the cooled high-pressure air enters the cold storage unit 200, and is further cooled and liquefied by the cold storage unit 200 to obtain high-pressure liquid air. During the heat release stage, liquid air at normal pressure enters the cold storage unit 200 for vaporization and reheating, and the reheated air enters the heat storage unit 100 for further heating and vaporization, and finally the heated air is used for power generation.

[0036] In this embodiment, by burying the heat storage unit 100 and the cold storage unit 200 underground, not only the occupied area is effectively reduced, the construction cost is greatly reduced compared to the above-ground high-pressure heat storage and cold storage, and the safety hazards caused by the above-ground high-pressure equipment are avoided, the safety of the system is improved, and the current liquid air energy storage technology solves the safety hazards in the heat storage and cold storage unit 200 and the problem of a large occupied area.

[0037] Furthermore, the second end of the heat storage unit 100 is connected to the first end of the cold storage unit 200 through the second gas pipeline 810. A third valve body 820 is provided on the second gas pipeline 810, and the third valve body 820 is used to control the on-off of the gas path of the second gas pipeline 810. In the intermittent stage of energy storage and release, the third valve body 820 is closed.

[0038] It should be noted that in the specific embodiments of the present invention, there is no limitation on the number of thermal storage units 100 and cold storage units 200. When the liquid air energy storage subsystem includes multiple thermal storage units 100, the multiple thermal storage units 100 can be connected in parallel or in series. When the liquid air energy storage subsystem includes multiple cold storage units 200, the multiple cold storage units 200 can be connected in parallel or in series.

[0039] Taking multiple thermal storage units 100 connected in parallel as an example, the first ends of the multiple thermal storage units 100 are all connected to the air outlet of the air compressor unit 710, the second ends of the multiple thermal storage units 100 are all connected to the air inlet of the second air pipe 810, and the air outlet of the second air pipe 810 is connected to the first end of the cold storage unit 200. At this time, the high-temperature and high-pressure air discharged from the air compressor unit 710 can enter the multiple thermal storage units 100 at the same time, and then can be discharged from the multiple thermal storage units 100 at the same time, and enter the cold storage unit 200 through the second air pipe 810.

[0040] Taking multiple heat storage units 100 connected in series as an example, the multiple heat storage units 100 are connected in the head-to-tail gas path in sequence. The first end of the heat storage unit 100 at the head end is connected to the air outlet of the air compressor unit 710, and the second end of the heat storage unit 100 at the tail end is connected to the first end of the cold storage unit 200 through the second gas transmission pipe 810. At this time, the high-temperature and high-pressure air discharged from the air compressor unit 710 passes through the multiple heat storage units 100 in sequence and then enters the cold storage unit 200.

[0041] It is understandable that one or more heat storage units 100 may be connected in series or in parallel to store heat according to actual needs. Of course, one or more cold storage units 200 may also be connected in series or in parallel to store cold according to actual needs.

[0042] It should be noted that a plurality means at least two.

[0043] Furthermore, the heat storage unit 100 has a heat storage chamber 110, which is filled with a solid-phase heat storage medium; the cold storage unit 200 has a cold storage chamber, which is filled with a solid-phase cold storage medium; the heat storage chamber 110 is connected to the cold storage chamber gas path. Specifically, in the energy storage stage, high-temperature and high-pressure compressed air enters the heat storage chamber 110, stores the compression heat in the solid-phase heat storage medium, and the cooled high-pressure air enters the cold storage chamber, where it is further cooled and liquefied by the solid-phase cold storage medium to obtain high-pressure liquid air. In the heat release stage, normal-pressure liquid air enters the cold storage chamber, and the solid-phase cold storage medium vaporizes and reheats the normal-pressure liquid air. The reheated air enters the heat storage chamber 110, and the solid-phase heat storage medium further heats and vaporizes the reheated air. Finally, the heated air is used for power generation.

[0044] In this embodiment, heat storage and cold storage are performed in the form of direct heat exchange between air and heat storage and cold storage medium. Compared with the form of indirect heat exchange using circulating air, the system efficiency is higher; compared with the form of indirect heat exchange using chemical media such as thermal oil, methanol, propane, etc., no flammable and explosive chemicals are used, and the system is more environmentally friendly and safer.

[0045] Exemplarily, the solid phase heat storage medium includes high temperature and high pressure resistant solid phase heat storage materials such as concrete, rock or gravel.

[0046] Exemplarily, the solid phase heat storage medium includes high temperature resistant and low pressure resistant solid phase cold storage materials such as rock, glass ball, concrete, gravel, steel or magnetite.

[0047] Furthermore, the liquid air energy storage subsystem further includes a thermal insulation layer; the thermal insulation layer is wrapped around the outside of the thermal storage unit 100 and / or the cold storage unit 200. By providing the thermal insulation layer on the outside of the thermal storage unit 100 and / or the cold storage unit 200, the heat storage and cold storage effects can be further improved.

[0048] Specifically, the outer side of the heat storage unit 100 is wrapped with heat insulation wool, thermal insulation wool, aluminum silicate wool, rock wool, asbestos or glass wool, etc., which are heat preservation materials suitable for being buried underground, to improve the heat storage effect.

[0049] Specifically, the outer side of the cold storage unit 200 is wrapped with deep cold insulation materials suitable for being buried underground, such as diene deep cold insulation cotton, to improve the cold storage effect.

[0050] In other words, the insulation layer includes thermal insulation wool, thermal insulation wool, aluminum silicate wool, rock wool, asbestos or glass wool. The insulation layer may also include diene cryogenic insulation wool.

[0051] Specifically, the material of the heat storage unit 100 and the cold storage unit 200 is stainless steel, and an anti-corrosion layer is provided on the outer wall surface of the heat storage unit 100 and the outer wall surface of the cold storage unit 200. By providing the anti-corrosion layer, the equipment can be anti-corroded to ensure the service life of the equipment.

[0052] Exemplarily, the anti-corrosion layer includes polyethylene anti-corrosion tape and / or epoxy resin coating. In other words, the outer wall surface of the thermal storage unit 100 is anti-corrosion by a polyethylene anti-corrosion tape or an epoxy resin coating, thereby ensuring the life of the equipment. The outer wall surface of the cold storage unit 200 is anti-corrosion by a polyethylene anti-corrosion tape or an epoxy resin coating, thereby ensuring the life of the equipment.

[0053] Furthermore, the operating temperature of the thermal storage unit 100 is -196°C~20°C, and the operating pressure is 1.5MPa~10MPa; the operating temperature of the cold storage unit 200 is 20°C~400°C, and the operating pressure is 1.5MPa~15MPa.

[0054] In this embodiment, by limiting the operating temperature and operating pressure of the heat storage unit 100 and the cold storage unit 200, the heat storage unit 100 and the cold storage unit 200 are operated in a high-pressure environment, and then combined with the solid-phase heat storage medium and the solid-phase cold storage medium, high-pressure solid-phase heat storage and cold storage are realized. Compared with normal-pressure solid-phase heat storage and cold storage and low-pressure solid-phase heat storage and cold storage, it helps to weaken the influence of the thermocline layer and improve the system's electric-to-electric conversion efficiency.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the liquid air energy storage subsystem includes an energy storage component 700; the energy storage component 700 includes an air compressor group 710, a first gas pipeline 720 and a first valve body 730; the gas outlet of the air compressor group 710 is connected to the first end gas path of the thermal storage unit 100 through the first gas pipeline 720; the first valve body 730 is arranged on the first gas pipeline 720, and is used to control the gas path of the first gas pipeline 720. In the energy storage stage, low-valley electricity such as wind power and photovoltaic power is used as electricity to power the air compressor group 710, and the purified air is compressed to a high temperature and high pressure state through the air compressor group 710. The compressed high-temperature compressed air enters the thermal storage chamber 110 of the thermal storage unit 100 through the first gas pipeline 720, and directly exchanges heat with the solid phase thermal storage medium in the thermal storage chamber 110, and stores the compression heat in the solid phase thermal storage medium.

[0056] In some embodiments, the liquid air energy storage system further includes a depressurization component 400 and a liquid air storage tank 500. The liquid inlet of the depressurization component 400 is connected to the liquid outlet of the cold storage unit 200. The liquid air storage tank 500 is connected to the liquid outlet of the depressurization component 400, and is used to store liquid air at normal pressure. Specifically, in the energy storage stage, the air compressor unit 710 is used to compress air at normal temperature and pressure into high-temperature and high-pressure air. The high-temperature and high-pressure air enters the heat storage chamber 110 of the heat storage unit 100 through the first air transmission pipe 720 to directly exchange heat with the solid-phase heat storage medium, and the compression heat is stored in the solid-phase heat storage medium. The high-pressure air after cooling enters the cold storage chamber of the cold storage unit 200, and is directly further cooled and liquefied by the solid-phase cold storage medium to obtain high-pressure liquid air; the high-temperature liquid air enters the depressurization component 400, and is stored in the liquid air storage tank 500 after being depressurized by the depressurization component 400. During the energy release stage, the normal-pressure liquid air stored in the liquid air storage tank 500 enters the cold storage chamber of the cold storage unit 200, and is directly vaporized and reheated by the solid-phase cold storage medium. The reheated air enters the heat storage chamber 110 of the heat storage unit 100, and is directly further heated and vaporized by the solid-phase heat storage medium. Finally, the heated air is used for power generation.

[0057] In this embodiment, the pressure reduction component 400 can be used to reduce the pressure of high-pressure liquid air, and the normal-pressure liquid air can be stored in the liquid air storage tank 500, thereby reducing the investment cost of the liquid air storage tank 500 and improving storage safety.

[0058] Furthermore, the pressure reduction assembly 400 includes a liquid expansion machine 410 and a throttle valve 420. The liquid inlet of the liquid expansion machine 410 is connected to the liquid outlet of the cold storage unit 200; the liquid outlet of the liquid expansion machine 410 is connected to the liquid inlet of the throttle valve 420, and the liquid outlet of the throttle valve 420 is connected to the liquid air storage tank 500. By providing the liquid expansion machine 410 and the throttle valve 420, the high-pressure liquid air is decompressed, so that the liquid air is stored in the liquid air storage tank 500 in the form of normal pressure.

[0059] Furthermore, a fourth valve body 920 is provided between the liquid inlet of the liquid expander 410 and the liquid outlet of the cold storage unit 200, and the fourth valve body 920 is used to control the opening and closing of the liquid outlet of the cold storage unit 200. In the energy storage and release gap stage, the fourth valve body 920 is closed.

[0060] Furthermore, a second valve body 910 is provided between the first end of the thermal storage unit 100 and the gas outlet end of the first valve body 730, and the second valve body 910 is used to control the opening and closing of the first end of the thermal storage unit 100. In the energy storage and release gap stage, the second valve body 910 is closed.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the liquid-phase air energy storage system further includes a gas reflux component; the gas inlet end of the gas reflux component is used to communicate with the gas outlet of the liquid air storage tank 500, and the gas outlet end of the gas reflux component is used to communicate with the gas inlet end of the air compressor unit 710. By providing the gas reflux component, the air in the liquid air storage tank 500 that has not been liquefied can be returned to the air compressor unit 710 to be recompressed and liquefied, thereby avoiding heat waste and improving system efficiency.

[0062] Furthermore, the gas reflux assembly includes a gas reflux pipe 310, a coil 320, a return pipe 330 and a fifth valve body 340.

[0074] Below Figure 3 Taking the liquid air energy storage subsystem shown in the figure as an example, its working process is described in detail: In the energy storage stage, the first valve body 730, the second valve body 910, the third valve body 820, the fourth valve body 920, the fifth valve body 340 and the throttle valve 420 are opened; the purified air is compressed to a high temperature and high pressure state through the air compressor unit 710 using off-peak electricity such as wind power and photovoltaic power as power input, and the compressed high-temperature compressed air enters the thermal storage unit 100 placed underground, and the compression heat is stored in the solid phase thermal storage medium in the thermal storage chamber 110, and the compressed air after cooling enters the cold storage unit placed underground. The heat storage chamber 110 of 200 is further cooled and liquefied to obtain high-pressure liquid air; the high-pressure liquid air is decompressed to the local atmospheric pressure through the liquid expander 410 and the throttle valve 420, and then stored in the liquid air storage tank 500. The backflow air in the liquid air storage tank 500 enters the cold storage chamber of the cold storage unit 200 through the gas backflow pipe 310, and the cold energy of the low-temperature air is recovered through the coil 320 in the cold storage chamber.

[0075] During the energy release stage, the first valve body 730 is closed, and the second valve body 910, the third valve body 820, the fourth valve body 920 and the sixth valve body 640 are opened; the normal pressure liquid air in the liquid air storage tank 500 is pumped to the cold storage chamber of the cold storage unit 200 by the low-temperature pump 610, and the liquid air is vaporized and reheated by the solid-phase cold storage medium. The reset air enters the heat storage chamber 110 of the heat storage unit 100 through the second air pipe 810, and is further heated by the solid-phase heat storage medium.

Specifically, the use of a high-pressure solid-phase heat storage and cold storage unit helps to weaken the influence of the thermocline layer and improve the system's electric-electric conversion efficiency compared to normal pressure and low-pressure solid-phase heat storage and cold storage. Placing high-voltage equipment underground reduces the system's floor space and improves the system's safety. The underground high-pressure heat storage and cold storage device adopts a "U"-shaped structure, which can better adapt to the uneven settlement of the stratum and the compression of the soil, reduce the risk of pipeline damage, and improve the reliability and safety of the system.
