Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of energy storage, and in particular relates to a method for controlling air quality at an outlet of a gas storage reservoir of a compressed air energy storage power station. Background Art
[0002] Under the "dual carbon" goal, the increase in the proportion of new energy has brought many uncertainties to the power grid. Compressed air energy storage, as a long-term energy storage technology, has the advantages of large capacity, high safety, and short construction period. It can solve the uncertainty problems caused by the addition of new energy, improve the utilization rate of new energy resources, and help achieve the "dual carbon" goal.
[0003] The compressed air energy storage system mainly includes a compressor subsystem, an expander subsystem, a heat exchange subsystem, a heat storage subsystem, and a gas storage subsystem, which are divided into an energy storage stage and an energy release stage. In the energy storage stage, the compressor is driven by abandoned wind, abandoned photovoltaic power or off-peak electricity to store the compressed high-pressure air in the gas storage unit, and the electrical energy is converted into compression heat energy and pressure potential energy, realizing the decoupling of thermal energy and potential energy. In the energy release stage, the high-pressure air in the gas storage is released, and the stored compression heat drives the expander to work, thereby driving the generator to generate electricity. This process realizes the coupling of the potential energy in the gas storage unit and the thermal energy in the heat storage unit. In the conventional process route, the high-pressure air in the gas storage in the energy release stage is directly fed into the expander to work after heat exchange in the high-pressure heat exchanger. When the brine in the salt cavern gas storage has not been completely drained, the air is released from the gas storage, carrying some solid particles and salt droplets. These impurities enter the subsequent heat exchanger or turbine, which will inevitably cause certain corrosion to the heat exchanger or turbine, causing problems such as equipment pipe burst.
[0004] To this end, based on the current process system, it is urgently necessary to improve the compressed air energy storage structure in the expansion stage, provide a more effective structure and control method, and ensure that the air quality entering the subsequent heat exchanger or turbine meets the requirements.

[0016] Furthermore, the temperature of the preheated compressed air is 50-60°C, and the temperature of the heated compressed air is 160-170°C.
[0017] Furthermore, the method includes: controlling the compressed air to heat up through the heat exchanger to reach a set temperature value, and using a cascade PID control method optimized based on a BP neural network algorithm for control, wherein the cascade PID control method includes a main PID controller and a sub-PID controller.
[0018] Furthermore, the main PID controller is used to control the amount of hot water flowing into the heat exchanger, the input of the main PID controller is the deviation between the actual value of the air temperature at the tube side air outlet of the preheater and the set value of the air temperature at the tube side air outlet of the preheater, and the output of the main PID controller is the amount of hot water flowing into the heat exchanger.
