Description

Technical Field

[0002] Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is a storage technology that uses excess electricity during low load periods to compress and store air, and releases high-pressure air to generate electricity during peak load periods. It has the advantages of large storage capacity, long storage cycle, and low specific investment, and is considered to be one of the large-scale energy storage technologies with broad development prospects.

[0003] The compressed air energy storage system is an integration of the air compression system and air turbine power generation, which combines heat storage to achieve energy storage and conversion. The system includes multiple subsystems such as compression, turbine power generation, heat storage, heat exchange, and gas storage. When charging, the electric motor drives the compressor to compress the air and transmit the compressed air to the gas storage reservoir. The outlet of each compressor is equipped with an end cooler to transfer the heat energy of the high-temperature air to the heat storage medium and store it in the hot tank. The inlet of each compressor section is designed with a water cooler to reduce the temperature of the compressor inlet. When discharging, the high-pressure air released from the gas storage reservoir passes through the turbine inlet heater to transfer the heat in the heat storage medium to the air. The high-temperature and high-pressure air passes through the turbine and expands to do work.

[0055] Among them, the pre-set parameter processing rules can be understood as the update scheme of the operating parameters of the regulating module and the compressor module in the compressed air energy storage system, the first operating parameter can be understood as the optimized operating parameter of the regulating module parsed on the basis of the data obtained in S101, and the second operating parameter can be understood as the optimized operating parameter of the compressor module parsed on the basis of the data obtained in S101. The advantage of such a setting is to optimize the operating parameters of the regulating module and the compressor module, thereby improving the energy storage efficiency and safety of the compressed air energy storage system.

[0056] The control method of the present invention is applicable to the above-mentioned compressed air energy storage system, which includes a first processor and a second processor, which respectively perform different data processing tasks and control different components. The parameter processing rules in this embodiment include a first type of parameter processing rules and a second type of parameter processing rules. The first type of parameter processing rules can be understood as data processing rules loaded and deployed on the first processor, which are applicable to parameter information transmitted to the first processor; the second type of parameter processing rules can be understood as data processing rules loaded and deployed on the second processor, which are applicable to parameter information transmitted to the second processor. It is worth noting that there are both components in the adjustment module that are controlled by the first processor and components that are controlled by the second processor. Therefore, the operating parameters of the adjustment module are distinguished and divided into two, which are determined by the first processor and the second processor respectively. For example, the first operating parameter includes a third operating parameter and a fourth operating parameter. The third operating parameter can be understood as the operating parameter of the component controlled by the first processor in the adjustment module, and the fourth operating parameter can be understood as the operating parameter of the component controlled by the second processor in the adjustment module.

[0057] On this basis, S102 may include: facilitating the first type of parameter processing rules, processing the ambient temperature and the gas reservoir pressure to obtain the second operating parameter and the third operating parameter; facilitating the second type of parameter processing rules, processing the gas reservoir temperature and the gas reservoir pressure to obtain the fourth operating parameter.

[0058] The first processor is used to control the first circulating water cooling regulating valve, the compressor module includes a first-stage compressor, an intermediate-stage compressor and a final-stage compressor, and the second processor is used to control the second circulating water cooling regulating valve and the third circulating water cooling regulating valve. The first type of parameter processing rules include the calculation rules for the opening value of the inlet guide vane of the first-stage compressor, the calculation rules for the opening value of the inlet guide vane of the intermediate-stage compressor, the calculation rules for the speed value of the final-stage compressor and the calculation rules for the opening value of the first circulating cooling water regulating valve. The second type of parameter processing rules include the calculation rules for the opening value of the second circulating cooling water regulating valve and the calculation rules for the opening value of the third circulating cooling water regulating valve.

[0059] The calculation rule can be a data comparison table that has been trained and determined in advance, or it can be a data processing rule that has been determined in advance, so as to quickly find the required target value based on the information obtained, and then obtain the optimization parameters of the compressed air energy storage system. Taking the predetermined information comparison table as an example, the calculation rule of the opening value of the inlet guide vane of the first-stage compressor can be understood as a correlation table of the preset ambient temperature, gas reservoir pressure and the opening value coefficient of the first-stage compressor. By searching in the table according to the ambient temperature and gas reservoir pressure, the opening value coefficient of the first-stage compressor can be matched. The calculation rule of the opening value of the inlet guide vane of the intermediate-stage compressor is a correlation table of the preset ambient temperature, gas reservoir pressure and the opening value coefficient of the intermediate-stage compressor. By searching in the table according to the ambient temperature and gas reservoir pressure, the opening value coefficient of the intermediate-stage compressor can be matched. The calculation rule for the speed value of the final compressor is a correlation table of the preset ambient temperature, gas reservoir pressure and the speed value coefficient of the final compressor. By searching in the table according to the ambient temperature and gas reservoir pressure, the speed value coefficient of the final compressor can be matched. The calculation rule for the opening value of the first circulating cooling water regulating valve is a correlation table of the preset ambient temperature, gas reservoir pressure and the opening value coefficient of the first circulating cooling water regulating valve. By searching in the table according to the ambient temperature and gas reservoir pressure, the opening value coefficient of the first circulating cooling water regulating valve can be matched. Similarly, the calculation rule for the opening value of the second circulating cooling water regulating valve is a correlation table of the preset gas reservoir temperature, gas reservoir pressure and the opening value coefficient of the second circulating cooling water regulating valve. By searching in the table according to the gas reservoir temperature and gas reservoir pressure, the opening value coefficient of the second circulating cooling water regulating valve can be matched. The calculation rule for the opening value of the third circulating cooling water regulating valve is a correlation table of the pre-set gas reservoir temperature, gas reservoir pressure and the opening value coefficient of the third circulating cooling water regulating valve. The opening value coefficient of the third circulating cooling water regulating valve can be matched by searching in the table according to the gas reservoir temperature and gas reservoir pressure.

[0060] In one embodiment, when the regulating module includes a first circulating water-cooled regulating valve, and the compressor module includes a first-stage compressor, an intermediate-stage compressor, and a final-stage compressor, the first type of parameter processing rule is used to process the ambient temperature and the gas reservoir pressure to obtain the second operating parameter and the third operating parameter, including: using the first-stage compressor inlet guide vane opening value calculation rule to process the ambient temperature and the gas reservoir pressure to obtain the opening value coefficient of the first-stage compressor, and determining the inlet guide vane opening of the first-stage compressor according to the opening value coefficient and the opening design value of the first-stage compressor; using the intermediate-stage compressor inlet guide vane opening value calculation rule to process the ambient temperature and the gas reservoir pressure to obtain the intermediate-stage compressor. The opening value coefficient of the compressor is obtained, and the inlet guide vane opening of the intermediate section compressor is determined according to the opening value coefficient and the opening design value of the intermediate section compressor; the speed value calculation rule of the final section compressor is used to process the ambient temperature and the gas reservoir pressure to obtain the speed value coefficient of the final section compressor, and the speed information of the final section compressor is determined according to the speed value coefficient and the speed design value of the final section compressor; the opening value calculation rule of the first circulating cooling water regulating valve is used to process the ambient temperature and the gas reservoir pressure to obtain the opening value coefficient of the first circulating cooling water regulating valve, and the opening information of the first circulating cooling water regulating valve is determined according to the opening value coefficient and the opening design value of the first circulating cooling water regulating valve.

[0061] In another embodiment, when the regulating module includes a second circulating water-cooled regulating valve and a third circulating water-cooled regulating valve, the second type of parameter processing rules are used to process the gas reservoir temperature and the gas reservoir pressure to obtain the fourth operating parameter, including: using the second circulating cooling water regulating valve opening value calculation rule to process the gas reservoir temperature and the gas reservoir pressure to obtain the opening value coefficient of the second circulating cooling water regulating valve, and determine the opening information of the second circulating cooling water regulating valve based on the opening value coefficient and the opening design value of the second circulating cooling water regulating valve; using the third circulating cooling water regulating valve opening value calculation rule to process the gas reservoir temperature and the gas reservoir pressure to obtain the opening value coefficient of the third circulating cooling water regulating valve, and determine the opening information of the third circulating cooling water regulating valve based on the opening value coefficient and the opening design value of the third circulating cooling water regulating valve.

[0062] In the present invention, the design value is a standard quantitative value, and the operating parameters of each component are the product of the design value and the coefficient. For example, the inlet guide vane opening IGV1 of the first-stage compressor is equal to a1*IGV1DESIGN, where a1 represents the opening value coefficient of the first-stage compressor, and IGV1DESIGN represents the opening design value of the first-stage compressor. The inlet guide vane opening IGV2 of the middle-stage compressor is equal to a2*IGV2DESIGN, where a2 represents the opening value coefficient of the middle-stage compressor, and IGV2DESIGN represents the opening design value of the middle-stage compressor. The speed information N of the last-stage compressor is equal to a3*NDESIGN, where a3 represents the speed value coefficient of the last-stage compressor, and NDESIGN represents the speed value design value of the last-stage compressor. The opening information of the first circulating cooling water regulating valve K1=k1*K1DESIGN, k1 represents the opening value coefficient of the first circulating cooling water regulating valve, K1DESIGN represents the opening design value of the first circulating cooling water regulating valve, the opening information of the second circulating cooling water regulating valve K2=k2*K2DESIGN, k2 represents the opening value coefficient of the second circulating cooling water regulating valve, K2DESIGN represents the opening design value of the second circulating cooling water regulating valve. The opening information of the third circulating cooling water regulating valve K3=k3*K3DESIGN, k3 represents the opening value coefficient of the third circulating cooling water regulating valve, K3DESIGN represents the opening design value of the third circulating cooling water regulating valve.

[0063] Specifically, the relationship comparison table of the opening value coefficient of the first-stage compressor and the ambient temperature and the gas reservoir pressure is shown in Table 1, the relationship comparison table of the opening value coefficient of the middle-stage compressor and the ambient temperature and the gas reservoir pressure is shown in Table 2, the relationship comparison table of the speed value coefficient of the last-stage compressor and the ambient temperature and the gas reservoir pressure is shown in Table 3, the relationship comparison table of the opening value coefficient of the first circulation cooling water regulating valve and the ambient temperature and the gas reservoir pressure is shown in Table 4, the relationship comparison table of the opening value coefficient of the second circulation cooling water regulating valve and the gas reservoir temperature and the gas reservoir pressure is shown in Table 5, and the relationship comparison table of the opening value coefficient of the third circulation cooling water regulating valve and the gas reservoir temperature and the gas reservoir pressure is shown in Table 6. TAMB in the table represents the ambient temperature, T represents the gas reservoir temperature, and P represents the gas reservoir pressure. The horizontal headers of Tables 1 to 4 represent multiple different ambient temperatures, TAMBdesign represents the design temperature, and the vertical headers represent multiple different gas reservoir pressures, Pdesign represents the design pressure. The horizontal headers of Tables 5 and 6 represent multiple different ambient temperatures, Tdesign represents the design temperature, and the vertical headers represent multiple different gas reservoir pressures, Pdesign represents the design pressure. The corresponding coefficients can be obtained by looking up the table according to the measured data. It is worth noting that the table shows partial data. In theory, all combinations of temperature and pressure can be matched with corresponding coefficients in the table. If the match does not work, the present invention also provides coefficient calculation logic to calculate the coefficients.

Assuming that the gas reservoir temperature is T1 and the gas reservoir pressure is P1, the opening value coefficient of the third circulating cooling water regulating valve is 0.

[0083] Summarizing the above table data, the control method and logic of the compressed air energy storage system can be obtained:

[0084] 1) When the ambient temperature and gas reservoir pressure are the design values, the coefficients are all 1; when the gas reservoir pressure is low, the coefficients are appropriately reduced or maintained unchanged. Specifically, reducing the opening of the inlet guide vanes of the first-stage compressor or maintaining it unchanged, reducing the opening of the inlet guide vanes of the middle-stage compressor, reducing the speed of the final-stage compressor, reducing the circulating cooling water flow of the inlet water cooler of the middle-stage compressor, and increasing the inlet temperature of the middle-stage compressor can all reduce the pressure at the outlet of the entire compression system, reduce the outlet pressure of the compression system, and reduce the throttle valve loss. When the gas reservoir pressure increases, the coefficients gradually increase. Specifically, increasing or maintaining the opening of the inlet guide vanes of the first-stage compressor, increasing the opening of the inlet guide vanes of the middle-stage compressor, increasing the speed of the final-stage compressor, and increasing the circulating cooling water flow of the inlet water cooler of the middle-stage compressor can all increase the outlet pressure of the entire compression system, so that the outlet pressure of the compression system matches the gas reservoir pressure.

[0085] 2) The correction coefficient a1 of the inlet guide vane opening of the first compressor, the correction coefficient a2 of the inlet guide vane opening of the middle compressor, the correction coefficient a3 of the speed of the last compressor, and the correction coefficient k1 of the opening of the first circulating cooling water regulating valve all change with the change of ambient temperature. On the one hand, when the ambient temperature is lower than the design value, by adjusting a1, a2, a3, and k1, the compression work of the compression system is minimized to improve the system efficiency. At the same time, the outlet temperature of the first compressor and the middle compressor can be increased as much as possible to solve the problem of low temperature of the hot tank when the compressed air energy storage system is running in winter. On the other hand, when the ambient temperature is higher than the design temperature, a1 is reduced to reduce the pressure ratio of the first compressor to prevent the outlet temperature of the first compressor from being too high, and a2 and k1 are increased. By increasing the circulating cooling water flow, the inlet temperature of the middle compressor is reduced as much as possible, the pressure ratio is increased, and a3 is adjusted to match the outlet pressure of the last compressor with the gas reservoir pressure. Through these adjustments, the compression work of the compression system is minimized, and the outlet temperature of the first compressor and the middle compressor is reduced as much as possible to solve the problem of easy overheating of the first end cooler, the second end cooler, and the hot tank when the compressed air energy storage system is running in summer.

[0086] 3) The opening correction coefficient k2 of the second circulating cooling water regulating valve and the opening correction coefficient k3 of the third circulating cooling water regulating valve are both 1 when the gas storage temperature and gas storage pressure are the design values. During the inflation process, the gas storage pressure gradually increases, and the coefficient k2 should be as large as possible, that is, the inlet temperature of the last stage compressor is reduced as much as possible, which helps to reduce the power consumption of the last stage compressor; the coefficient k3 should be as large as possible, that is, the high-pressure air at the outlet of the last stage compressor is cooled as much as possible, so as to maximize the quality of air stored in the gas storage under the fixed maximum operating pressure.

[0087] 4) When the air temperature in the gas reservoir is not lower than the second lowest value allowed by the gas storage system, k2 and k3 should be as large as possible, that is, the inlet temperature of the last-stage compressor should be reduced as much as possible, which is helpful to reduce the power consumption of the last-stage compressor and cool the high-pressure air at the outlet of the last-stage compressor as much as possible. However, when the air temperature in the gas reservoir is lower than the second lowest value allowed by the gas storage system, k3 and K2 should be reduced so that they are not the maximum value, that is, the inlet temperature of the last-stage compressor should be reduced as much as possible, which is helpful to reduce the power consumption of the last-stage compressor and reduce the degree of cooling of the high-pressure air at the outlet of the last-stage compressor to prevent the air temperature in the gas reservoir from being lower than the allowable value. When the temperature in the gas reservoir is lower than the minimum allowable value, k2 and k3 are both reduced, and the temperature of the high-pressure air entering the gas reservoir is quickly increased to ensure that the operating temperature of the gas reservoir is higher than the allowable low temperature.

[0088] It is noteworthy that the correction coefficient of the present invention is actually the coefficient of each parameter value. The word "correction" is intended to indicate that the coefficient is used to correct and optimize the operating parameters of each component, but the actual intention is the same.

[0089] S103: The control and regulation module operates based on the first operating parameter, and the compressor module operates based on the second operating parameter, so as to reduce the energy loss of the compressed air energy storage system.

[0090] Specifically, controlling the adjustment module to operate based on the first operating parameter and the compressor module to operate based on the second operating parameter can be understood as controlling the first-stage compressor to operate based on the inlet guide vane opening of the first-stage compressor, the middle-stage compressor to operate based on the inlet guide vane opening of the middle-stage compressor, the last-stage compressor to operate based on the speed information of the last-stage compressor, the first circulating cooling water regulating valve to operate based on the opening information of the first circulating cooling water regulating valve, the second circulating cooling water regulating valve to operate based on the opening information of the second circulating cooling water regulating valve, and the third circulating cooling water regulating valve to operate based on the opening information of the third circulating cooling water regulating valve.

[0091] For example, assuming that the inlet guide vane opening of the first compressor is X1, the inlet guide vane opening of the middle compressor is X2, the speed information of the last compressor is X3, the opening information of the first circulating cooling water regulating valve is X4, the opening information of the second circulating cooling water regulating valve is X5, and the opening information of the third circulating cooling water regulating valve is X6, then the first compressor is controlled to operate based on X1, the middle compressor is controlled to operate based on X2, the last compressor is controlled to operate based on X3, the first circulating cooling water regulating valve is controlled to operate based on X4, the second circulating cooling water regulating valve is controlled to operate based on X5, and the third circulating cooling water regulating valve is controlled to operate based on X6. The advantage of this setting is that the operating parameters of the compressed air energy storage system can be quickly adjusted to enable it to store and convert energy safely, stably, and efficiently.

[0092] It is worth noting that, in general, the inlet guide vane opening and the regulating valve can be directly controlled by the processor, and the speed information is realized by the processor through controlling the robotic arm.

[0093] The control method of this embodiment is applied to the compressed air energy storage system provided by the above embodiment, and has the corresponding beneficial effects of the compressed air energy storage system. Secondly, the beneficial effects that can be achieved by the present invention include: 1) By real-time monitoring of the ambient temperature and the gas reservoir pressure, the guide vanes of the first-stage compressor are appropriately adjusted to maintain the compressor outlet temperature within the safe and stable range of the system; by adjusting the guide vanes of the first-stage compressor, the guide vanes of the middle-stage compressor and the speed of the last-stage compressor, the compression ratio of each compressor is distributed to minimize the compression power consumption; by adjusting the circulating water flow entering each section of the water cooler, the inlet air temperature of the middle-stage compressor is adjusted to match the compressor pressure ratio with the gas reservoir pressure, reduce throttling losses, and by adjusting the speed of the variable frequency compressor to match the compression system outlet pressure with the gas reservoir pressure, the compressor power consumption is reduced in the process of compressing air as a whole. 2) By adjusting the air temperature at the inlet of the last-stage compressor, especially when the gas reservoir temperature is low, the inlet temperature of the last-stage compressor is increased, the cooling of the outlet air of the last-stage compressor is weakened, and the gas reservoir temperature is increased, thereby ensuring that the gas reservoir temperature is within a safe range. 3) The regulating mechanism of the present invention at least includes the guide vane opening or speed of each compressor section and the opening of multiple circulating cooling water valves. The correction coefficients of the compressor guide vane opening and the circulating cooling water regulating valve opening under different ambient temperatures, gas reservoir pressures and gas reservoir temperatures are obtained through simulation and operation calibration, and are set in the control system. Compared with the feedback control method, this positive control method reduces the conflict of regulating variables, improves the control stability of the system, effectively improves the operating efficiency of the system, saves the electricity cost of the energy storage system, and creates considerable economic benefits.
