Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of energy storage, and in particular relates to a compressed air energy storage system for storing heat in medium-temperature hot water. Background Art

[0002] Compressed air energy storage, as a long-term energy storage technology, has the advantages of large energy storage capacity, short construction period, long operating life, safety and environmental protection. It can cope with the rapid development of new energy such as wind power and photovoltaics, ensure the safe and stable operation of electricity, and help achieve the dual carbon goals.

[0003] There are many types of compressed air energy storage technologies, which are divided into supplementary combustion type and non-supplementary combustion type compressed air energy storage according to whether a heat source is required. Traditional supplementary combustion type compressed air energy storage systems are heavily dependent on fossil fuels such as natural gas, causing environmental pollution and not meeting the goal of energy structure transformation and development. For this reason, the current main technology is non-supplementary combustion type compressed air energy storage, which mainly includes low-pressure hot water heat storage low-temperature adiabatic compression technology, and high-temperature adiabatic compression technology combined with heat transfer oil and normal pressure hot water heat storage. The efficiency of compressed air energy storage is greatly affected by the temperature of the heat storage medium. The low-temperature adiabatic compression technology uses low-temperature and low-pressure hot water, and the heat storage temperature is about 120℃. The cost of low-temperature and low-pressure hot water is low, but the problem is that the efficiency is also low; the high-temperature adiabatic compression technology uses heat transfer oil and normal pressure hot water, and the heat storage temperature of the heat transfer oil is high, reaching 320-330℃, which greatly improves the efficiency of the power station, but the price of heat transfer oil is high and the safety risk is high. At the same time, the existing compressed air energy storage technology also has the problem of low precision in controlling the hot water temperature and pressure of the hot water storage tank, which will also affect the working efficiency of the power station, so it is necessary to balance multiple factors such as power station efficiency, safety, and investment cost. Therefore, a compressed air energy storage system with medium-temperature hot water heat storage is developed. It uses medium-temperature hot water to store heat and accurately controls the temperature and pressure of the hot water storage tank. It can effectively reduce costs while improving the efficiency of the power station and effectively reduce safety risks. Summary of the invention

[0015] Beneficial effects: (1) The compressed air energy storage system provided by the present invention uses pressurized high-temperature hot water to store the heat after compression by the compressor, and uses it to heat the air required by the expander. On the one hand, the hot water is pressurized to prevent the hot water from boiling and eliminate safety risks.

The temperature control module and the pressure control module can well control the temperature and pressure within the medium temperature range. The hot water temperature control model inputs the deviation between the hot water temperature setting value of the hot water storage tank and the actual value of the hot water temperature of the hot water storage tank. The pressure control model uses the hot water temperature at the air side inlet of the heat exchanger and the compressor flow value as the feedforward value of the model. At the same time, the deviation between the hot water tank pressure setting value and the actual value of the hot water tank pressure and the deviation between the cold water tank pressure setting value and the actual value of the hot water and cold water tank pressure are used as inputs.

[0046] The compression process is as follows: ambient air enters the first compressor 2 through the filter and the silencer 1, and the first motor 5 of the first compressor 2 is driven to rotate by utilizing off-peak electricity, abandoned wind and abandoned photovoltaic power.

The compressed air enters the air side of the second cooling heat exchanger 11, the second cooler 12, and the second gas-liquid separator 13 in sequence, and enters the third compressor 4 to continue to increase the pressure. The compressed air passes through the third cooler (terminal cooler) 14 and the third gas-liquid separator 15, and is stored in the gas storage reservoir 16 after passing through the first switch valve 33 and the first regulating valve 34. At this point, the gas storage process is completed.

The cold water pump here can also be replaced by a regulating valve. After the cold water entering the water side exchanges heat with the high-temperature air entering the air side of the first cooling heat exchanger 8 and the air side of the second cooling heat exchanger 11, the cold water flowing through the first cooling heat exchanger 8 obtains hot water after heat exchange and is transported to the first hot water storage tank 22 through a hot water pipe. The cold water flowing through the second cooling heat exchanger 11 obtains hot water after heat exchange and is transported to the second hot water storage tank 23 through a hot water pipe.

The cold water after heat exchange is converted into hot water and transported to the cooling tower 28 through a hot water pipe. The hot water is cooled by the cooling tower to complete the circulating water cooling. At this point, the heat exchange and heat storage process is completed.

[0048] The expansion process: the compressed air in the air storage reservoir 16 enters the air side of the third heat exchanger 17 after passing through the second switch valve 35 and the second regulating valve 36, is converted into high-temperature compressed air after exchanging heat, and enters the first air turbine 18 to do work after passing through the third regulating valve 37. When the amount of air is insufficient, the air replenishing valve 38 is opened to replenish air to the first air turbine 18. The air temperature drops after doing work, and enters the air side of the fourth heat exchanger 19 to exchange heat with hot water, so that the air temperature is increased. After passing through the fourth regulating valve 39, it enters the second air turbine 20 to continue doing work, driving the generator 21 to generate electricity, and the potential energy is converted into electrical energy. At this point, the deflation process is completed. The setting of the air replenishing valve makes the expansion work process more stable, which helps to improve the operating efficiency of the compressed air energy storage system.

[0049] The hot water in the first hot water storage tank 22 enters the water side of the fourth heat exchanger 19 through the first hot water pump 29, and the hot water in the second hot water storage tank 23 enters the water side of the third heat exchanger 17 through the second hot water pump 30. The hot water entering the water side exchanges heat with the low-temperature air entering the air side of the corresponding heat exchanger. The exchanged hot water is converted into cold water and transported to the first cold water storage tank 24 and the second cold water storage tank 25 through the cold water delivery pipeline. At this point, the heat exchange and heat recovery process is completed.

[0050] As shown in FIG4 , the control structure of the temperature and pressure in the compressed air energy storage system of medium-pressure hot water heat storage is mainly used to control the power station to automatically control the hot water temperature in the storage tank to 170-185°C and the pressure to 1.5-1.6MPa. The control structure includes an external PLC controller, which includes a hot water temperature control model and a pressure control model. As shown in FIG4 (a) and FIG4 (b), the hot water temperature control model adopts a PID controller or a BP neural network algorithm. The input of the model is the deviation between the set value of the hot water temperature of the hot water storage tank and the actual value of the hot water temperature of the hot water storage tank. The output is the frequency of the cold water variable frequency pump. The cold water volume at the water side inlet of the heat exchanger is adjusted by the frequency of the variable frequency pump, thereby controlling the hot water temperature value at the water side outlet of the heat exchanger. In the PID control process, the hot water temperature at the air side inlet of the heat exchanger and the compressor flow value are used as the feedforward values ​​of the model. As shown in Figure 4 (b), the pressure control model is a PID controller, the input of which is the deviation between the hot water (cold water) tank pressure set value and the hot water (cold water) tank pressure actual value, and the output is the opening of the pressure regulating valve of the auxiliary subsystem, thereby adjusting the hot water (cold water) tank pressure value.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, the hot water exchanged by the third cooler 14 is transported to the first preheater 40 through a pipeline for preheating the air before compression, and heating the air before entering the first compressor 2. The preheated cold water is used for greening or fire fighting. The temperature of the inlet air has a great influence on the efficiency of the compressor. The closer it is to the design working condition of the compressor, the higher its efficiency. A temperature control device is provided at the outlet of the preheater 40, and a control valve is provided on the hot water pipeline transported to the first preheater 40. By setting the set temperature of the temperature control device at the outlet of the preheater 40, the preheating system automatically adjusts the opening and closing degree of the control valve on the hot water pipeline according to the difference between the real-time temperature and the set temperature, and adjusts the preheating effect until the temperature at the outlet of the preheater 40 reaches the set value. By setting the preheater temperature control device, the air can be preheated to the design temperature regardless of summer or winter working conditions, effectively improving the system efficiency, recycling the heat, and avoiding waste of resources.

[0052] like Figure 6As shown, the hot water exchanged by the third cooler 14 is used in the heating system, and the heating system includes a third hot water storage tank 41, a third cold water storage tank 43, and a heating user 42. The water side outlet of the third cooler 14 is connected to the third hot water storage tank 41, the third hot water storage tank is connected to the water inlet of the heating user 42, the water outlet of the heating user 42 is connected to the third cold water storage tank 43, and the third cold water storage tank 43 is connected to the water side inlet of the third cooler 14. After the high-temperature air compressed by the third compressor 4 exchanges heat with the third cooler (terminal cooler) 14, the heat is recovered, and the exchanged hot water is sent to the third hot water storage tank 41 for supplying the heating user 42 to provide heat to the user, and the cold water collected for heating enters the third cold water storage tank 43. The cold water in the cold water storage tank 43 is used to cool the air of the third cooler 14, so as to realize the recovery and utilization of the heat after the third compressor 4 and avoid waste of resources.

[0053] like Figure 7 As shown, the hot water exchanged by the third cooler 14 is used in the ORC low-temperature power generation system to recover the compression heat of the third compressor 4 for power generation, improve the energy utilization rate of the system, and improve the system conversion efficiency. The ORC low-temperature power generation system includes a third air turbine 46, a second preheater 45, an evaporator 44, a condenser 47, and a working fluid pump 48. The water side outlet of the third cooler 14 is respectively connected to the water side of the second preheater 45 and the water side inlet of the evaporator 44, and the water side inlet of the third cooler 14 is respectively connected to the water side of the second preheater 45 and the water side outlet of the evaporator 44, forming a circulation of hot water and cold water, realizing the recovery of the compression heat after the third compressor 4. The third air turbine 46 is connected to the condenser 47, the condenser 47 is connected to the working fluid pump 48, the working fluid pump 48 is connected to the second preheater 45, the second preheater 45 is connected to the evaporator 44, and the evaporator 44 is connected to the third air turbine 46, forming a working fluid circulation of the ORC power generation system. The water side inlet of the condenser 47 is connected to the pipeline after cooling of the cooling tower 28, and the water side outlet of the condenser 47 is connected to the pipeline before cooling of the cooling tower 28. The gaseous working medium entering the condenser 47 is converted into a liquid working medium through the cooling tower. The hot water at the outlet of the third cooler 14 passes through the second preheater 45 to preheat the organic working medium. After the preheated organic working medium enters the evaporator 44, the liquid working medium is boiled by the outlet hot water and converted into a gaseous working medium, which drives the third turbine 46 to do work and drives the second generator 49 to generate electricity. The gaseous working medium after work enters the condenser 47, and the water is cooled to liquid by the circulating cooling water. After that, it is pressurized by the working medium pump and then passes through the second preheater 45 again to enter the thermodynamic cycle.
