Abstract
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] Currently, existing compressed energy storage technologies primarily use air or CO2 as the working fluid. Compressed air energy storage, due to the physical properties of air, is difficult to store in liquid form, thus requiring a large gas storage volume. Compressed CO2 energy storage, on the other hand, requires storage tanks at both the high- and low-pressure ends, as CO2 cannot be directly obtained from air. Storing CO2 in gaseous form requires a very large storage volume.
[0003] Although CO2 has the advantage of being easily liquefied, storing it in liquid form at both the high-pressure and low-pressure ends often comes at the expense of reduced round-trip efficiency. Furthermore, CO2 has a critical temperature of 31.0°C, a critical pressure of 7.38 MPa, a triple point temperature of -56.6°C, and a triple point pressure of 0.52 MPa. This means that if compressed CO2 energy storage is stored in liquid form, the high-pressure tank pressure must not exceed 7.38 MPa, while the low-pressure tank pressure must be at least 0.52 MPa. The relatively low pressure of a liquid CO2 energy storage system causes a sharp increase in the amount of CO2 required for the same capacity. Furthermore, during the storage and release process, the CO2 within the tank undergoes a gas-liquid phase transition, causing temperature fluctuations within the tank. This can potentially lead to the formation of dry ice within the low-pressure liquid tank, potentially blocking the pipeline and affecting CO2 flow. Therefore, for liquid CO2 energy storage systems, further improving the system's round-trip efficiency and increasing the system's high-to-low pressure ratio are pressing issues.
[0004] To this end, 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 also provides an operating method for a dual-liquid energy storage system based on an adjustable CO2 mixed working fluid component, including the following two operating modes:
[0016] Mode 1: Electrical energy is converted into hot water internal energy and pressure potential energy storage:
[0017] The mixed working medium in the low-pressure liquid storage tank exists in gas-liquid two-phases. The gaseous working medium flows out through the first plug valve, and the liquid working medium flows out through the second plug valve. The liquid working medium at the outlet of the second plug valve is reduced in pressure and temperature by the throttle valve, then passes through the third plug valve and absorbs heat and vaporizes in the cold accumulator, then passes through the fourth plug valve and mixes with the gaseous working medium at the outlet of the first plug valve. The mixed working medium is pressurized by the first compressor, then passes through the fifth plug valve and cools down in the first cooler, then flows through the first cooler and is pressurized again by the second compressor, then passes through the seventh plug valve and cools down and liquefies in the second cooler, and then enters the high-pressure liquid storage tank through the eighth plug valve and the ninth plug valve;
[0018] In the hot water storage circuit, the cold water in the cold water tank passes through the 23rd stopcock, the cold water pump, the 24th stopcock, and the radiator in sequence, and then is divided into two paths. One path flows through the 25th stopcock to cool the working medium in the second cooler, and then passes through the 26th stopcock to enter the hot water tank. The other path flows through the 27th stopcock, cools the working medium in the first cooler, and then passes through the 28th stopcock to enter the hot water tank.
[0019] 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 enters the low pressure liquid storage tank after passing through the tenth stopcock valve, the regulating valve and the seventeenth stopcock valve;
[0020] Mode 2: The stored energy is released in the form of electrical energy:
[0021] The mixed working fluid in the high-pressure liquid storage tank exists in gas-liquid two-phase. The gaseous working fluid flows out through the eleventh stopcock, and the liquid working fluid flows out through the tenth stopcock. After the two fluids are mixed, they pass through the twelfth stopcock and are heated in the first heater, where the liquid working fluid is completely vaporized. Then, the mixed working fluid flows through the thirteenth stopcock and drives the first expander to generate work and electricity. After that, it passes through the fourteenth stopcock and is heated in the second heater. Then, it flows through the fifteenth stopcock and drives the second expander to generate work and electricity. After that, it flows through the sixteenth stopcock, releases heat and liquefies in the cold accumulator, and finally enters the low-pressure liquid storage tank through the seventeenth stopcock.
[0022] In the hot water storage circuit, the hot water in the hot water tank is divided into two paths after passing through the 18th stopcock and the hot water pump. One path flows through the 19th stopcock and is heated in the second heater before passing through the 20th stopcock and entering the cold water tank. The other path flows through the 21st stopcock and is heated in the first heater before passing through the 22nd stopcock and entering the cold water tank.
[0023] In the working fluid balance circuit, in order to adjust the amount of mixed working fluid at the high and low pressure ends, part of the liquid working fluid in the low-pressure liquid storage tank 1 flows through the twenty-ninth stopcock after passing through the second stopcock, is pressurized by the working fluid pump, and then passes through the ninth stopcock and enters the high-pressure liquid storage tank.
[0024] 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:
[0025] 1. The critical temperature of the CO2 mixed working fluid is higher and it can be easily condensed near the ambient temperature. This 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.
[0026] 2. At the same saturation temperature, the pressure of the CO2 mixed working fluid is lower, which will reduce the pressure of the low-pressure liquid storage tank, which is conducive to increasing the pressure ratio of the system. At the same time, the introduction of organic working fluid will effectively prevent the formation of dry ice in the CO2 low-pressure liquid tank.
[0027] 3. Since the evaporation characteristics of organic working fluids and CO2 are significantly different, the CO2 mixed working fluid has temperature glide characteristics at different phase change pressures, which will enable better temperature matching during the CO2 evaporation or condensation process and reduce heat exchange exergy loss.

[0046] In the mixed working fluid energy storage cycle, the gaseous mixed working fluid in the low-pressure liquid storage tank 1 flows out through the first plug valve 2, while the liquid mixed working fluid passes through the second plug valve 3, the throttle valve 4, and the third plug valve 5 in sequence, and then enters the cold accumulator 6 to be heated and vaporized, and then mixes with the gaseous working fluid at the outlet of the first plug valve 2 at the outlet of the fourth plug valve 7. The mixed gaseous working fluid 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 fluid in the high-pressure liquid storage tank 17 flows out in two paths: the liquid working fluid flows out through the tenth stopcock 18, and the gaseous working fluid flows out through the eleventh stopcock 19. Both flow through the twelfth stopcock 20 and are heated by the first heater 21, completely converting the liquid working fluid into a gaseous state. The mixed working fluid then passes through the thirteenth stopcock 22, driving the first expander 23 to produce work. It then passes through the fourteenth stopcock 24 and is heated in the second heater 25. It then passes through the fifteenth stopcock 26 and drives the second expander 27 to produce work. The low-pressure working fluid at the outlet of the second expander 27 flows through the sixteenth stopcock 28, where it is cooled and liquefied in the cold accumulator 6. It then flows through the seventeenth stopcock 29 and is stored in the low-pressure liquid storage tank 1.
[0047] In the hot water storage circuit, the hot water in the hot water tank 30 flows through the 18th stopcock 31 and the hot water pump 32 and is split into two paths. One path flows through the 19th stopcock 33, where it is heated in the second heater 25, before passing through the 20th stopcock 34 and entering the cold water tank 37. The other path flows through the 21st stopcock 35, where it is heated in the first heater 21, before passing through the 22nd stopcock 36 and entering the cold water tank 37. The cold water in the cold water tank 37 flows through the 23rd stopcock 38, the cold water pump 39, the 24th stopcock 40, and the radiator 41, before being split into two paths. One path flows through the 25th stopcock 42, where it is cooled in the second cooler 14, before passing through the 26th stopcock 43 and entering the hot water tank 30. The other path flows through the 27th stopcock 44, where it is cooled in the first cooler 10, before passing through the 28th stopcock 45 and entering the hot water tank 30.
[0048] In the working fluid balance circuit, the liquid working fluid in the high-pressure liquid storage tank 17 passes through the tenth stopcock 18, then flows through the regulating valve 46 and the seventeenth stopcock 29 into the low-pressure liquid storage tank 1.

[0049] During energy storage, the mixed refrigerant in the low-pressure tank 1 is pressurized by the compressor, cooled in the cooler, and ultimately stored in the high-pressure tank 17. During energy release, the mixed refrigerant in the high-pressure tank 17 is first heated in the heater, then drives the expander turbine to generate power, releasing energy. Furthermore, a cold accumulator 6 is used on the low-pressure side to ensure that the refrigerant is stored in a liquid state, while a heat exchanger on the high-pressure side converts the gas into liquid, also storing the refrigerant in a liquid state.
[0050] 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 components and the total components satisfy the following Figure 4 The equilibrium relationship shown in Figure 1 indicates that the operating components of the energy storage and release process can be adjusted by varying the gas-liquid mixing ratio, which is beneficial for further improving 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 was constructed.
[0051] Example 2:
[0052] 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:
[0053] Mode 1: Electric energy is converted into hot water internal energy and pressure potential energy for storage: During the energy storage process, electric energy drives the compressor to pressurize the mixed working fluid at the low-pressure end. The working fluid is then cooled by the cooler and stored in the high-pressure tank. The specific working process is as follows:
[0054] 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 liquid working medium at the outlet of the second plug valve 3 is reduced in pressure and temperature through the throttle valve 4, then passes through the third plug valve 5 and absorbs heat and vaporizes in the cold accumulator 6, then passes through the fourth plug valve 7 and mixes with the gaseous working medium at the outlet of the first plug valve 2. The mixed working medium is pressurized by the first compressor 8, then passes through the fifth plug valve 9 and is cooled in the first cooler 10, then flows through the first cooler 10 and is pressurized again by the second compressor 12, then passes through the seventh plug valve 13 and is cooled and liquefied in the second cooler 14, and then enters the high-pressure liquid storage tank 17 through the eighth plug valve 15 and the ninth plug valve 16.
[0055] In the hot water storage circuit, the cold water in the cold water tank 37 passes through the twenty-third stopcock 38, the cold water pump 39, the twenty-fourth stopcock 40, and the radiator 41 in sequence and is divided into two paths. One path flows through the twenty-fifth stopcock 42 to cool the working medium in the second cooler 14, and then enters the hot water tank 30 through the twenty-sixth stopcock 43. The other path flows through the twenty-seventh stopcock 44, cools the working medium in the first cooler 10, and then enters the hot water tank 30 through the twenty-eighth stopcock 45.
[0056] 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 after passing through the tenth stopcock 18, the regulating valve 46 and the seventeenth stopcock 29;
[0057] 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, then drives the turbine to generate power, and then stores it in the low-pressure tank. The specific working process is as follows:
[0058] 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 stopcock 19, and the liquid working medium flows out through the tenth stopcock 18. After the two fluids are mixed, they pass through the twelfth stopcock 20 and are then heated in the first heater 21, where the liquid working medium is vaporized. Then, the mixed working medium flows through the thirteenth stopcock 22 and drives the first expander 23 to generate work, then passes through the fourteenth stopcock 24 and is heated in the second heater 25, then flows through the fifteenth stopcock 26 and drives the second expander 27 to generate work, then flows through the sixteenth stopcock 28, releases heat and liquefies in the cold accumulator 6, and finally enters the low-pressure liquid storage tank 1 through the seventeenth stopcock 29.
[0059] 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 then heats the working fluid in the second heater 25, and then enters the cold water tank 37 through the twentieth stopcock 34. The other path flows through the twenty-first stopcock 35 and then heats the working fluid in the first heater 21, and then enters the cold water tank 37 through the twenty-second stopcock 36.
[0060] In the working fluid balance circuit, in order to adjust the amount of mixed working fluid at the high and low pressure ends, part of the liquid working fluid in the low-pressure liquid storage tank 1 flows through the twenty-ninth stopcock valve 47 after passing through the second stopcock valve 3, is pressurized by the working fluid pump 48, and then passes through the ninth stopcock valve 16 and enters the high-pressure liquid storage tank 17.
[0061] Example 3:
[0062] Different from Example 1, Figures 2 and 3 As shown, the cold storage device 6 comprises a vacuum-interlayer outer wall 601 and a multi-layer coil 602 disposed within the vacuum-interlayer outer wall 601. The vacuum-interlayer outer wall 601 is a double-layer cylindrical structure, with the interlayer vacuumed to enhance thermal insulation.
