Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of rock cave hydrogen storage, and in particular relates to a rock cave hydrogen storage device and method. Background Art

[0002] As the global energy transition accelerates, hydrogen energy, as a clean and efficient form of energy, is experiencing unprecedented development opportunities. At present, hydrogen energy has shown great application potential in many fields such as transportation, industry, and construction, and the global market demand for hydrogen energy continues to grow. However, the large-scale application of hydrogen energy still faces many challenges, among which the demand for hydrogen storage technology is particularly urgent. Efficient hydrogen storage technology will become the key to promoting the further development of the hydrogen energy industry.

[0003] my country has a large number of abandoned caverns such as abandoned mines and abandoned tunnels. Using these abandoned caverns for hydrogen storage can not only achieve large-scale hydrogen storage, but also realize the resource utilization of abandoned underground space. Hydrogen has the characteristics of strong permeability of small molecules, so the storage of hydrogen in abandoned caverns requires the tightness of the surrounding rock. However, abandoned mine tunnels and abandoned tunnels pass through various types of rocks and even small faults, and the surrounding rock types are complex; under the influence of mining during the original construction process, some cavern surrounding rocks will be damaged to a certain extent, resulting in cracks, and some cracks will even be connected to the cracks in the original rock and connected to the ground. At the same time, the linings such as concrete sprayed during the original construction process will also be naturally oxidized, deformed and fall off after being abandoned for a long time. These will cause abandoned caverns such as abandoned mine tunnels and abandoned tunnels to have a large number of cracks, thereby affecting the storage of hydrogen.

[0004] At present, both at home and abroad, lining structures are usually built inside rock caves to improve the sealing capacity of hydrogen storage tanks. Such lining structures are usually composed of materials such as concrete and stainless steel. Some hydrogen storage tanks will also lay a layer of polymer materials on the innermost side of the lining structure to ensure that hydrogen will not leak. However, abandoned rock caves such as abandoned mine tunnels and abandoned tunnels have complex structures and can stretch for tens of kilometers. Laying out lining structures on their inner sides increases construction costs and operation and maintenance costs, making it difficult to apply them on a large scale.

[0005] It can be seen that how to provide a rock cave hydrogen storage device that can achieve large-scale hydrogen storage through a simple structure and reduce construction costs is a technical problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve. Summary of the invention

The cave hydrogen storage device according to claim 7, characterized in that: The hydrogen storage device also includes: A hydrogen delivery valve, which is arranged at one end of the hydrogen delivery pipeline and connected to an external hydrogen storage device; A venting flare is connected to the other end of the hydrogen transport pipeline.

9. The cave hydrogen storage device according to claim 8, characterized in that: The hydrogen transmission pipeline comprises a hydrogen injection pipeline and a hydrogen production pipeline; the hydrogen injection pipeline and the hydrogen production pipeline are independent of each other and are suspended and fixed on the top of the rock cave.

10. A method for storing hydrogen in a cave, characterized in that: The method comprises: Installing and connecting the cave hydrogen storage device according to claim 9 in the cave; Expel the air in the hydrogen injection pipeline, hydrogen production pipeline and flexible lining, and connect the external hydrogen storage equipment to one end of the hydrogen injection pipeline and hydrogen production pipeline respectively through the hydrogen transfer valve; When storing hydrogen, the central controller transmits a signal to the underground wireless network router through the optical cable, so that the corresponding storage and release controller starts to work and transmits hydrogen into the flexible lining through the hydrogen injection pipeline; When hydrogen is produced, the central controller transmits a signal to the underground wireless network router through an optical cable, so that the corresponding storage and release controller starts to work, and the hydrogen in the flexible lining is transported to the external hydrogen storage device through the hydrogen production pipeline; The central controller transmits a signal to the underground wireless network router through an optical cable, so that the hydrogen monitoring probe continuously monitors the hydrogen concentration in the cave, and determines whether a hydrogen leak occurs in the cave according to the hydrogen concentration; When hydrogen leakage occurs, the hydrogen leakage position is located according to the monitoring data of the hydrogen monitoring probe, and the corresponding storage and release controller is controlled by the central controller to open the corresponding flexible lining to transport hydrogen to the hydrogen injection pipeline or the hydrogen production pipeline to the venting torch for combustion and venting; after the combustion and venting are completed, the hydrogen leakage position is repaired and the cave hydrogen storage device continues to operate.
