Summary of the invention
[0013] The object of the present invention is to provide an ejector-enhanced liquid carbon dioxide compression energy storage system and method to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0037] 1) By introducing a methanol heat exchanger, the carbon dioxide at the outlet of the liquid CO2 storage tank can be gasified more conveniently and safely, and the problem that the carbon dioxide is not easily liquefied due to the limited low temperature of the condensed water during the energy release process is solved, thereby improving the comprehensive energy utilization efficiency of the system, effectively solving the problem of insufficient comprehensive energy utilization, and reducing energy waste.
[0038] 2) Through multi-stage compression, inter-stage cooling, multi-stage expansion and inter-stage heating, the energy storage efficiency is effectively improved and the energy loss of the system is reduced.
[0039] 3) By introducing an ejector during the energy storage process, the power consumption of the compressor for compressing a large amount of gas is reduced, and the low-pressure fluid is ejected by the high-pressure fluid to generate medium- and low-pressure fluids at the outlet of the mixing chamber, making it easier to store carbon dioxide at medium and low pressures, thereby improving the utilization efficiency and safety performance of the system.
[0040] 4) By adding an ejector during the energy release process, the pressure and temperature of the carbon dioxide at the turbine outlet are reduced, making the gas easier to condense before entering the liquid CO2 storage tank, thereby reducing the consumption of phase change materials.

[0046] The first outlet of the low-pressure liquid CO2 storage tank is connected to the inlet of the throttle valve A. The outlet of the throttle valve A is divided into two paths, one of which is connected to the inlet of the injector A through the methanol heat exchanger A, the compressor A, the heat exchanger A, the compressor B, the heat exchanger B, the methanol heat exchanger C in sequence, and the other is directly connected to the inlet of the injector A;
[0047] The medium-low pressure liquid CO2 storage tank is connected to the inlet of the injector B through the pump, methanol heat exchanger D, heat exchanger C, turbine A, heat exchanger D, and turbine B in sequence, and the outlet of the injector B is connected to the inlet of the low pressure liquid CO2 storage tank through the methanol heat exchanger B;
[0048] The second outlet of the low-pressure liquid CO2 storage tank is connected to the inlet of the injector B;
[0049] The outlet of the methanol heat exchanger B is connected to the inlet of the methanol heat exchanger A through the high-temperature methanol tank A, and the outlet of the methanol heat exchanger A is connected to the inlet of the methanol heat exchanger B through the low-temperature methanol tank A;
[0050] The outlets of the heat exchanger A and the heat exchanger B are connected to the inlet of the hot water storage tank, and the outlet of the hot water storage tank is connected to the inlet of the heat exchanger D and the heat exchanger C; the outlets of the heat exchanger D and the heat exchanger C are connected to the inlet of the cold water storage tank, and the outlet of the cold water storage tank is connected to the inlet of the heat exchanger A and the heat exchanger B;
