Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a device and method for verifying water-pumping, air-compressing, mixed energy storage, and belongs to the technical field of energy storage. Background Art

[0002] The continuous depletion of fossil energy has led to increasing energy depletion and environmental pollution, driving global demand for clean, efficient, and renewable energy. In recent years, renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and tidal power have experienced rapid growth. However, wind power output is affected by wind speed, while photovoltaic output is affected by radiation intensity and temperature, resulting in intermittent and uncertain performance. Therefore, the continued development of wind and solar energy has posed significant challenges to the grid's load regulation capabilities. Against this backdrop, energy storage devices, with their ability to regulate power at twice the rate of installed capacity, have garnered widespread attention. Pumped hydro and compressed air energy storage, as large-scale, long-duration energy storage technologies, have seen widespread development.

[0003] Based on the idea of ​​complementary advantages, researchers have combined pumped storage and compressed air energy storage technologies to propose a pumped-water, compressed-air hybrid energy storage technology. For example: Publication number CN116429464A, the invention title is "Model test device and method for simulating pumped storage and compressed air energy storage system", and its technical solution proposes a pumped-water, compressed-air hybrid energy storage system with separate water pumps and turbines; Publication number CN117335455A, the invention title is "A variable-speed pumped-water, compressed-air hybrid energy storage device and its operation method", and its technical solution proposes a multi-stage variable-speed pumped-water, compressed-air hybrid energy storage system that can be developed on a large scale, and provides the operation of the energy storage and power generation processes. However, the pumped-water, compressed-air hybrid energy storage technology is still in the theoretical research stage and has not yet been implemented in an engineering demonstration. Therefore, it is still necessary to build a test bench to verify the various safety performance of the pumped-water, compressed-air hybrid energy storage system and verify the technical feasibility to ensure the safety of people and property and subsequent reliable operation.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to propose a variable speed pumping water pressure gas mixed energy storage test verification device and method to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

When the average value of the air pressure measured by the third pressure sensor in the first water-gas common container and the fourth pressure sensor in the second water-gas common container reaches the set pressure p1, the pressure pre-pressurization process ends.

When the air pressure measured by the third pressure sensor in the first water-gas co-container drops to the set pressure p1, the power generation process ends. The electrical energy generated by the variable-speed pumped-storage unit is transmitted to the load device for consumption.

[0025] The energy storage-enhanced heat transfer test includes the following steps:

The generated water then returns to the second water tank 12. When the air pressure measured by the fourth pressure sensor 504 in the second water-gas co-container tank 14 reaches the set pressure p1, the power generation and enhanced heat exchange test ends.

[0083] Comparison is made between the air temperature changes measured by the third temperature sensor 513 and the fourth temperature sensor 514 during the two power generation processes to clarify the enhanced heat exchange effect of the metal tube bundle 71 in the second water-gas co-container tank 14 during the power generation process.
