Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of energy storage technology, and in particular, relates to a dual-liquid energy storage system and method based on adjustable CO2 mixed working fluid components. Background Art

[0002] At present, the existing compressed energy storage technology mainly uses air or CO2 as the operating fluid. Compressed air energy storage is difficult to store in liquid form due to the physical properties of air, so a larger gas storage volume is required. As for compressed CO2 energy storage, since CO2 cannot be obtained directly from the air, storage tanks are required at both the high and low pressure ends. If CO2 is stored in gaseous form, a very large storage volume is required.

[0003] Although CO2 has the advantage of being easy to liquefy, if CO2 is stored in liquid form at both the high-pressure and low-pressure ends, it often requires reducing the round-trip efficiency of the system as a cost. At the same time, the critical temperature of CO2 is 31.0°C, the critical pressure is 7.38Mpa, the triple point temperature is -56.6°C, and the triple point pressure is 0.52MPa. This means that if compressed CO2 energy storage chooses liquid storage, the pressure of its high-pressure tank will not exceed 7.38MPa at most, and the pressure of the low-pressure tank will not be less than 0.52MPa at least. The pressure ratio of the liquid CO2 energy storage system is relatively low, which causes the amount of CO2 required at the same capacity to rise sharply. At the same time, during the energy storage and release process, the CO2 in the tank will undergo a gas-liquid phase change conversion process, which will cause a certain fluctuation in the temperature in the tank, which may cause dry ice to form in the low-pressure liquid tank, thereby blocking the pipeline and affecting the circulation of CO2. Therefore, for the liquid CO2 energy storage system, how to further improve the round-trip efficiency of the system and increase the high-low pressure ratio of the system is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0004] In this regard, the present invention mixes CO2 with organic matter to improve the physical properties of CO2, thereby effectively improving system performance and preventing low-pressure CO2 from freezing. Summary of the invention

[0015] The present invention provides a dual-liquid energy storage system and method based on adjustable CO2 mixed working fluid components, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The critical temperature of the CO2 mixed working fluid is higher and can be easily condensed near the ambient temperature, which will make the temperature of the high-pressure liquid storage tank relatively high and the gas-liquid density difference larger, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the liquid storage tank.

[0016] 2.

At the same time, the introduction of organic working fluid will effectively avoid the formation of dry ice in the CO2 low-pressure liquid tank.

[0017] 3.

[0030] In the mixed working medium energy storage cycle, the gaseous mixed working medium in the low-pressure liquid storage tank 1 flows out through the first plug valve 2, while the liquid mixed working medium passes through the second plug valve 3, the throttle valve 4, and the third plug valve 5 in sequence, and then enters the cold storage tank 6 to heat up and gasify, and then mixes with the gaseous working medium at the outlet of the first plug valve 2 at the outlet of the fourth plug valve 7. The mixed gaseous working medium enters the first compressor 8 for pressurization, then passes through the fifth plug valve 9 and is cooled by the first cooler 10, then passes through the sixth plug valve 11, is pressurized by the second compressor 12, then passes through the seventh plug valve 13 and is cooled in the second cooler 14, and finally passes through the eighth plug valve 15 and the ninth plug valve 16 in sequence, and is stored in the high-pressure liquid storage tank 17. The mixed working medium in the high-pressure liquid storage tank 17 flows out in two ways, wherein the liquid working medium flows out through the tenth plug valve 18 and the gaseous working medium flows out through the eleventh plug valve 19, and both pass through the twelfth plug valve 20 and are heated by the first heater 21, where the liquid working medium is completely converted into gaseous state. Then, the mixed working medium passes through the thirteenth plug valve 22 and drives the first expander 23 to do work, then passes through the fourteenth plug valve 24 and heats up in the second heater 25, then passes through the fifteenth plug valve 26 and drives the second expander 27 to do work. The low-pressure working medium at the outlet of the second expander 27 flows through the sixteenth plug valve 28 and is cooled and liquefied in the cold storage device 6, then flows through the seventeenth plug valve 29 and is stored in the low-pressure liquid storage tank 1.

[0031] In the hot water storage circuit, the hot water in the hot water tank 30 is divided into two paths after passing through the 18th stopcock 31 and the hot water pump 32. One path flows through the 19th stopcock 33 and heats the working medium in the second heater 25, and then enters the cold water tank 37 through the 20th stopcock 34. The other path flows through the 21st stopcock 35 and heats the working medium in the first heater 21, and then enters the cold water tank 37 through the 22nd stopcock 36. The cold water in the cold water tank 37 passes through the 23rd stopcock 38, the cold water pump 39, the 24th stopcock 40, and the radiator 41 in sequence and is divided into two paths. One path flows through the 25th stopcock 42 to cool the working medium in the second cooler 14, and then enters the hot water tank 30 through the 26th stopcock 43, and the other path flows through the 27th stopcock 44 to cool the working medium in the first cooler 10, and then enters the hot water tank 30 through the 28th stopcock 45.

[0033] During the energy storage process, the mixed working fluid in the low-pressure liquid storage tank 1 is pressurized by the compressor, cooled in the cooler, and finally stored in the high-pressure liquid storage tank 17. During the energy release process, the mixed working fluid in the high-pressure liquid storage tank 17 is first heated in the heater, and then drives the expansion machine turbine to generate power to achieve energy release. In addition, at the low-pressure end, the cold storage device 6 is used to ensure that the working fluid can be stored in a liquid state, while the high-pressure end can complete the gas-liquid conversion by the heat exchanger, and the working fluid is also stored in a liquid state.

[0034] Under the quasi-static state of gas-liquid phase equilibrium, taking the mixed working fluid of organic matter R32 and CO2 as an example, the gas-liquid component and the total component satisfy the following Figure 4 The balance relationship shown in Figure 1 means that the operating components of the energy storage and release process can be adjusted by different gas-liquid mixing ratios, which is beneficial to further improve the performance of the energy storage system. In order to adjust the mixed working quality at the high and low pressure ends, a working fluid balance loop is constructed.

[0035] Embodiment 2: An operating method of a dual-liquid energy storage system based on an adjustable CO2 mixed working fluid component includes the following two operating modes: Mode 1: Electric energy is converted into hot water internal energy and pressure potential energy storage: During the energy storage process, electric energy drives the compressor to pressurize the mixed working fluid at the low-pressure end, and then the working fluid is cooled by the cooler and stored in the high-pressure tank. The specific working process is as follows: The mixed working medium in the low-pressure liquid storage tank 1 exists in gas-liquid two-phase. The gaseous working medium flows out through the first plug valve 2, and the liquid working medium flows out through the second plug valve 3.

The other path flows through the twenty-seventh stopcock 44, cools the working fluid in the first cooler 10, and then enters the hot water tank 30 through the twenty-eighth stopcock 45.

[0037] In the working medium balance circuit, in order to adjust the amount of mixed working medium at the high and low pressure ends, part of the liquid working medium in the high pressure liquid storage tank 17 enters the low pressure liquid storage tank 1 through the regulating valve 46 and the seventeenth plug valve 29 after passing through the tenth plug valve 18; Mode 2: The stored energy is released in the form of electrical energy: During the energy release process, the mixed working fluid at the high-pressure end is heated by the heater, and then drives the turbine to generate electricity, which is then stored in the low-pressure tank. The specific working process is as follows: The mixed working medium in the high-pressure liquid storage tank 17 exists in gas-liquid two-phase. The gaseous working medium flows out through the eleventh plug valve 19, and the liquid working medium flows out through the tenth plug valve 18. After the two fluids are mixed, they pass through the twelfth plug valve 20, and then are heated in the first heater 21, where the liquid working medium is vaporized. Then, the mixed working medium flows through the thirteenth plug valve 22 and drives the first expander 23 to do work and generate electricity, then passes through the fourteenth plug valve 24 and is heated in the second heater 25, then flows through the fifteenth plug valve 26 and drives the second expander 27 to do work and generate electricity, then flows through the sixteenth plug valve 28, releases heat and liquefies in the cold accumulator 6, and finally enters the low-pressure liquid storage tank 1 through the seventeenth plug valve 29.

[0038] In the hot water storage circuit, the hot water in the hot water tank 30 is divided into two paths after passing through the eighteenth stopcock 31 and the hot water pump 32. One path flows through the nineteenth stopcock 33 and heats the working fluid in the second heater 25, and then enters the cold water tank 37 through the twentieth stopcock 34.
