In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples, without contradiction.

[0067] Combine the following Figures 1 to 8 The structure and working principle of the liquid air energy storage coupling system of the present invention are described in detail.

[0068] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a specific embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid air energy storage coupling system. The liquid air energy storage coupling system includes a liquid air energy storage subsystem and a biomass gasification subsystem. The liquid air energy storage subsystem includes a compressor unit, a heat storage unit 100, a cold storage unit 200 and a turbine unit 630. The biomass gasification subsystem includes a biomass gasifier 50.

[0069] The air inlet of the heat storage unit 100 is connected to the air outlet of the air compressor unit 710. The cold storage unit 200 is connected to the heat storage unit 100. The air outlet of the heat storage unit 100 is connected to the air inlet of the turbine unit 630, which is used to transport high-temperature air to the turbine unit 630. The high-temperature air enters the turbine unit 630 to drive the generator to generate electricity. The air outlet of the turbine unit 630 is used to discharge the cooled air. The gasification agent inlet of the biomass gasifier 50 is connected to the air outlet of the turbine unit 630.

[0070] Specifically, in the energy storage stage, the air compressor unit 710 compresses air at normal temperature and pressure into high-temperature and high-pressure air, and the high-temperature and high-pressure air enters the thermal storage unit 100. The thermal storage unit 100 is used to store the compression heat of the air. The cooled high-pressure air enters the cold storage unit 200. The cold storage unit 200 precools the compressed air discharged from the thermal storage unit 100 to liquefy the compressed air. In the energy release stage, the cold storage unit 200 is used to reheat the liquid air. The reheated air enters the thermal storage unit 100. At this time, the thermal storage unit 100 is used to reheat the air discharged from the cold storage unit 200 to gasify the liquid air into high-temperature air. The high-temperature air enters the turbine unit 630 to drive the generator to generate electricity. At the same time, the air outlet of the turbine unit 630 discharges the cooled air. Because the air outlet of the turbine unit 630 is connected to the gasification agent inlet of the biomass gasifier 50, the cooled air enters the biomass gasifier 50.

[0071] In this embodiment, by connecting the air outlet of the turbine unit 630 with the gasifying agent inlet of the biomass gasification furnace 50 of the biomass gasification subsystem, the air discharged from the turbine unit 630 can be reused, the clean air of the liquid air energy storage system can be utilized as a resource, the system efficiency of the liquid air energy storage system is improved, and the problem of low resource utilization rate existing in both the separate liquid air energy storage system and the liquid air energy storage coupling system in the prior art is solved.

[0072] It should be noted that the heat storage unit 100 can be solid-phase heat storage or liquid-phase heat storage; the cold storage unit 200 can be solid-phase cold storage or liquid-phase cold storage. Solid-phase heat storage means that the medium used by the heat storage unit 100 to store compression heat is a solid-phase heat storage medium. Liquid-phase heat storage means that the medium used by the heat storage unit 100 to store compression heat is a liquid-phase heat storage medium. Solid-phase cold storage means that the medium used by the cold storage unit 200 to store cold is a solid-phase cold storage medium. Liquid-phase cold storage means that the medium used by the cold storage unit 200 to store cold is a liquid-phase cold storage medium.

[0073] It should be noted that in the specific embodiments of the present invention, there is no limitation on the shapes of the thermal storage unit 100 and the cold storage unit 200. For example, the thermal storage unit 100 and the cold storage unit 200 may be cylindrical or U-shaped. Similarly, in the specific implementation of the present invention, the thermal storage unit 100 and the cold storage unit 200 may be buried underground or placed on the ground.

[0074] Combine the following Figures 1 to 8 The liquid-phase air energy storage subsystem of the present invention is described in detail.

[0075] Embodiment 1

[0076] like Figure 1As shown, the thermal storage unit 100 includes a first cooler 10, a high-temperature medium storage tank 20, a low-temperature medium storage tank 30 and a heat exchanger 40. The air inlet of the first cooler 10 is connected to the air outlet of the air compressor unit 710, and the air outlet of the first cooler 10 is connected to the air inlet of the thermal storage unit 200; the thermal storage medium inlet of the first cooler 10 is connected to the thermal storage medium outlet of the low-temperature medium storage tank 30, and the thermal storage medium outlet of the first cooler 10 is connected to the thermal storage medium inlet of the high-temperature medium storage tank 20. The thermal storage medium outlet of the high-temperature medium storage tank 20 is connected to the thermal storage medium inlet of the low-temperature medium storage tank 30. The thermal storage medium inlet of the heat exchanger 40 is connected to the thermal storage medium outlet of the high-temperature medium storage tank 20, the thermal storage medium outlet of the heat exchanger 40 is connected to the thermal storage medium inlet of the low-temperature medium storage tank 30, the air inlet of the heat exchanger 40 is connected to the air outlet of the thermal storage unit 200, and the air outlet of the heat exchanger 40 is connected to the air inlet of the turbine unit 630. The high-temperature and high-pressure air discharged from the air compressor unit 710 enters the first cooler 10 to exchange heat with the low-temperature heat storage medium discharged from the low-temperature medium storage tank 30. The low-temperature heat storage medium is heated up and transformed into a high-temperature heat storage medium and enters the high-temperature medium storage tank 20 for storage. The cooled air enters the cold storage unit 200 for liquefaction, thus realizing the storage of compression heat. By setting up the heat exchanger 40, it is possible to further heat the reheated air discharged from the cold storage unit 200, so that the air is heated up and becomes high-temperature air, and the high-temperature air enters the turbine unit 630 to drive the generator to generate electricity. It can be understood that the heat storage medium at this time is a liquid phase heat storage medium or a gas phase heat storage medium.

[0077] Furthermore, the heat exchange medium inlet of the heat exchanger 40 is connected to the heat exchange medium outlet of the heat storage component 90, and the heat exchange medium outlet of the heat exchanger 40 is connected to the heat exchange medium inlet of the heat storage component 90 to form a heat exchange medium circulation loop. The heat exchange medium enters the heat storage component 90 to exchange heat with the synthesis gas, the heat exchange medium temperature increases, the synthesis gas temperature decreases, and the heat exchange medium enters the heat exchanger 40 to exchange heat with the reheated air discharged from the cold storage unit 200, which is used to further heat the air, so that the high-temperature air enters the turbine unit 630. The heat of biomass gasification can be recycled and utilized, and the system efficiency of the liquid-phase air energy storage subsystem can be improved.

[0078] Furthermore, the heat storage assembly 90 includes a heat storage tank 91 and a blower 92; an air circulation loop is formed between the heat storage tank 91 and the heat storage unit 100, and the blower 92 is arranged on the air flow path between the heat storage tank 91 and the heat storage unit 100 to provide air to the circulation loop. The synthesis gas inlet of the heat storage tank 91 is connected to the gasification agent outlet of the biomass gasifier 50, and the synthesis gas outlet of the heat storage tank 91 is used to discharge the synthesis gas after cooling. Using air as a heat exchange medium has advantages such as environmental protection, safety and economy.

[0079] Specifically, the heat exchange medium inlet of the heat exchanger 40 is connected to the heat exchange medium outlet of the heat accumulator 91, and the heat exchange medium outlet of the heat exchanger 40 is connected to the heat exchange medium inlet of the heat accumulator 91 to form a heat exchange medium circulation loop. In this way, the synthesis gas can heat the heat exchange medium, and the heat exchange medium heats the reheated air discharged from the cold storage unit 200 in the heat exchanger 40, thereby realizing the recovery and utilization of the biomass gasification heat and improving the efficiency of the liquid air energy storage subsystem.

[0080] Embodiment 2

[0081] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the heat storage unit 100 includes a heat storage chamber 110; the heat storage chamber 110 is filled with a solid-phase heat storage medium. High-temperature and high-pressure air enters the heat storage chamber 110 and directly contacts the solid-phase heat storage medium, and the solid-phase heat storage medium stores the compression heat. The cooled air enters the cold storage unit 200. In this embodiment, heat storage is performed in the form of direct heat exchange between air and solid-phase heat storage medium. Compared with the form of indirect heat exchange using circulating air, the system efficiency is higher; compared with the form of indirect heat exchange using chemical media such as thermal oil, methanol, and propane, no flammable and explosive chemicals are used, and the system is more environmentally friendly and safer.

[0082] Specifically, the solid phase heat storage medium includes high temperature and high pressure resistant solid phase heat storage materials such as concrete, rock or gravel.

[0083] Further, the heat exchange medium inlet of the heat storage assembly 90 is communicated with the heat exchange medium outlet of the heat storage chamber 110, and the heat exchange medium outlet of the heat storage assembly 90 is communicated with the heat exchange medium inlet of the heat storage chamber 110. Specifically, the heat exchange medium inlet of the heat accumulator 91 is communicated with the heat exchange medium outlet of the heat storage chamber 110, and the heat exchange medium outlet of the heat accumulator 91 is communicated with the heat exchange medium inlet of the heat storage chamber 110. At this time, the heat exchange medium directly exchanges heat with the solid phase heat storage medium in the heat storage chamber 110, and the solid phase heat storage medium stores the heat of the heat exchange medium, thereby improving the efficiency of the liquid air energy storage subsystem.

[0084] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, further, the heat storage unit 100 and the cold storage unit 200 are buried underground. In this embodiment, by burying the heat storage unit 100 and the cold storage unit 200 underground, not only the floor space is effectively reduced, the construction cost is greatly reduced compared to the ground high-pressure heat storage and cold storage, and the safety hazards caused by the ground high-pressure equipment are avoided, the safety of the system is improved, and the current liquid air energy storage technology has safety hazards in the heat storage and cold storage unit 200 and occupies a large area.

[0085] Specifically, the liquid air energy storage subsystem includes a thermal storage unit 100 and a cold storage unit 200; both the thermal storage unit 100 and the cold storage unit 200 are buried underground; the cold storage unit 200 is connected to the thermal storage unit 100 by air. In the energy storage stage, the thermal storage unit 100 is used to store compression heat, and the cold storage unit 200 is used to pre-cool the compressed air discharged from the thermal storage unit 100 to liquefy the compressed air. In the energy release stage, the cold storage unit 200 is used to reheat the liquid air, and the thermal storage unit 100 is used to reheat the air discharged from the cold storage unit 200 to vaporize the liquid air. Specifically, in the energy storage stage, high-temperature and high-pressure compressed air enters the thermal storage unit 100, stores the compression heat in the thermal storage unit 100, and the cooled high-pressure air enters the cold storage unit 200, and is further cooled and liquefied by the cold storage unit 200 to obtain high-pressure liquid air. During the heat release stage, liquid air at normal pressure enters the cold storage unit 200 for vaporization and reheating, and the reheated air enters the heat storage unit 100 for further heating and vaporization, and finally the heated air is used for power generation.

[0086] Furthermore, the second end of the heat storage unit 100 is connected to the first end of the cold storage unit 200 through the second gas pipeline 810. A third valve body 820 is provided on the second gas pipeline 810, and the third valve body 820 is used to control the on-off of the gas path of the second gas pipeline 810. In the intermittent stage of energy storage and release, the third valve body 820 is closed.

[0087] It should be noted that in the specific embodiments of the present invention, there is no limitation on the number of thermal storage units 100 and cold storage units 200. When the liquid air energy storage subsystem includes multiple thermal storage units 100, the multiple thermal storage units 100 can be connected in parallel or in series. When the liquid air energy storage subsystem includes multiple cold storage units 200, the multiple cold storage units 200 can be connected in parallel or in series.

[0088] Taking multiple thermal storage units 100 connected in parallel as an example, the first ends of the multiple thermal storage units 100 are all connected to the air outlet of the air compressor unit 710, the second ends of the multiple thermal storage units 100 are all connected to the air inlet of the second air pipe 810, and the air outlet of the second air pipe 810 is connected to the first end of the cold storage unit 200. At this time, the high-temperature and high-pressure air discharged from the air compressor unit 710 can enter the multiple thermal storage units 100 at the same time, and then can be discharged from the multiple thermal storage units 100 at the same time, and enter the cold storage unit 200 through the second air pipe 810.

[0089] Taking multiple heat storage units 100 connected in series as an example, the multiple heat storage units 100 are connected in the head-to-tail gas path in sequence. The first end of the heat storage unit 100 at the head end is connected to the air outlet of the air compressor unit 710, and the second end of the heat storage unit 100 at the tail end is connected to the first end of the cold storage unit 200 through the second gas transmission pipe 810. At this time, the high-temperature and high-pressure air discharged from the air compressor unit 710 passes through the multiple heat storage units 100 in sequence and then enters the cold storage unit 200.

[0090] It is understandable that one or more heat storage units 100 may be connected in series or in parallel to store heat according to actual needs. Of course, one or more cold storage units 200 may also be connected in series or in parallel to store cold according to actual needs.
