Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of underground high-pressure gas storage structure technology, and in particular to a sandwich steel-lined underground high-pressure gas storage tank and its performance simulation analysis method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in industries related to underground high-pressure gas storage (such as compressed air energy storage and compressed natural gas), underground cavern structures used for storing high-pressure gases are generally divided into two types: unlined and lined. Unlined structures are limited in application scenarios due to their typically location in extremely deep underground spaces or the need for high groundwater pressure to achieve pressure balance, and they also have stringent requirements regarding the permeability coefficient of the surrounding rock. Lined structures are the most widely chosen option for underground high-pressure gas storage caverns. They generally use steel plates as the inner lining for sealing, with buffer layers, concrete lining layers, and grouting layers arranged sequentially outwards, forming a multi-layered composite load-bearing structure. This composite load-bearing structure can withstand high internal pressure, but considering the rigidity of the large steel plates themselves and the stability of the steel lining against external pressure during maintenance and venting, a larger thickness is required, resulting in higher costs and issues with resistance to external pressure deformation and stability.

[0003] Existing technology 1, Chinese patent application number 202310268129.X, discloses an underground high-pressure gas storage system, including: an annular chamber, a transverse passage, a vertical shaft, and a duct. The annular chamber is connected end-to-end by ducts to form a gas storage space. The sidewall of the annular chamber includes, from the inside out, a corrugated arch steel lining assembly and a lining structure. One end of the transverse passage is connected to the annular chamber via a duct, and the other end is connected to the bottom of the vertical shaft, the top of the vertical shaft being connected to the ground. The duct is located at the connection between the transverse passage and the annular chamber. Although this reduces the force of gas pressure on the steel lining, significantly reduces the force on the steel lining, greatly reduces the thickness of the steel lining, saves investment, and makes the construction of the steel lining more convenient and efficient, the design of the duct increases the complexity and cost of construction, and makes operation more difficult.

[0004] Prior art two, Chinese patent application number 202410195227.X, discloses a sealing plug structure and construction method for an underground high-pressure gas storage facility. It includes a connecting pipe passing through the sealing plug, a sealing plug located in the excavated area at the end of the gas storage facility, and the sealing plug being a reinforced concrete structure. The outer periphery of the sealing plug is tightly fitted with surrounding rock. A single transmission pipe is located inside the sealing plug, with one end connecting to the inside of the gas storage facility and the other end connecting to the outside, arranged in an L-shape. The end of the transmission pipe located outside the gas storage facility is sequentially connected to a tapered reducer section and a gas filling / draining channel. The transmission pipe is connected to the tapered reducer section via a primary flange, and the tapered reducer section is connected to the gas filling / draining channel via a secondary flange. Although setting up a single transmission pipe inside the concrete sealing plug to handle gas transport and personnel access effectively reduces the internal pipeline space of the sealing plug and lowers the risk of air leakage, resulting in higher safety, it requires a larger thickness, leading to higher costs and issues with resistance to external pressure deformation and stability.

[0005] Prior art three, Chinese patent application number 202410941927.9, discloses a multi-layer sealed cavern wall structure and construction method for an underground high-pressure gas storage facility. It includes an outer layer of surrounding rock, an inner layer of concrete lining for transmitting internal gas pressure to the surrounding rock, an inner layer of elastic transition layer for filling cracks in the concrete lining, and an inner layer of aluminum plate sealing. Adjacent aluminum plate sealing layers are overlapped, with the overlapped areas bonded with sealant and fixed by pre-embedded bolts embedded in the concrete lining. Sealing gaskets are placed between the overlapping areas of the aluminum plate sealing layers and the corresponding elastic transition layers. While separating the sealing layer and the high-pressure bearing layer not only meets the extreme requirements of the gas storage facility's operation, ensuring its reliability and sealing, but also reduces construction time and difficulty, the concrete lining is prone to cracking under high-pressure gas, affecting the durability of the sealing layer.

[0006] Currently, existing technologies 1, 2, and 3 suffer from issues such as the inherent rigidity of large-size steel plates, the need for stable external pressure resistance of the steel lining during maintenance and venting, the required thickness, high cost, and problems with external pressure deformation and stability. Therefore, this invention proposes a sandwich-type steel-lined underground high-pressure gas storage tank and its performance simulation analysis method, which meets the requirements for stability, deformation, and sealing while reducing steel consumption and lowering project costs.

[0039] The system uses a convolutional neural network to extract key features from images, generate feature vectors, and perform dimensionality reduction on the feature vectors. It identifies and matches key points in simulation and real-time data, calculates similarity scores between the two sets of data, and visually displays the differences between simulation and real-time data by marking the differences in regions.

It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment also provides an example of a performance simulation analysis method for a sandwich-lined underground high-pressure gas storage tank. In this embodiment, the performance simulation analysis method for the sandwich-lined underground high-pressure gas storage tank specifically includes the following steps:

[0061] Step S1: Collect real-time parameters of the gas storage tank, such as pressure, temperature, and deformation, and preprocess them; input the preprocessed gas storage tank structural data into the simulation equipment to create a three-dimensional geometric model of the gas storage tank, and discretize the three-dimensional geometric model of the gas storage tank into a finite element network;

[0062] Step S2: Based on historical earthquake data of different magnitudes, establish a simulated earthquake database of different magnitudes, and add the database to the simulation database to simulate the effect of earthquakes of different magnitudes on the gas storage tank, and obtain the stress distribution diagram and deformation diagram of the gas storage tank.

[0063] Step S3: Compare the stress distribution map and deformation map data obtained from the simulation with the stress distribution map and deformation map data generated from the real-time parameters of the gas storage tank to obtain potential problems in the underground gas storage tank structure, and adjust the gas storage tank structure according to the potential problems.

[0064] Preferably, in this embodiment, real-time parameters of the gas storage tank are collected and preprocessed to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data. The preprocessed data is input into the simulation equipment to create a three-dimensional geometric model of the gas storage tank, which is then discretized into a finite element network, providing an accurate mathematical model. A simulated earthquake database of different magnitudes is established and added to the simulation database, providing rich data support for simulating the effects of earthquakes of different magnitudes on the gas storage tank. Through simulation, stress distribution and deformation diagrams of the gas storage tank under seismic action are obtained, providing an important basis for assessing the safety of the gas storage tank. By comparing the simulation results with the real-time collected data, potential problems in the gas storage tank structure can be identified, such as stress concentration and abnormal deformation. Adjusting the gas storage tank structure according to potential problems can improve its seismic performance and safety.

[0065] In summary, this embodiment achieves an accurate description of the actual operating state of the gas storage tank. The discretization of the finite element network makes the simulation more accurate and can more realistically reflect the behavior of the gas storage tank under seismic action. It also enables the simulation to cover a wider range of seismic scenarios, improving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the assessment. The generation of stress distribution diagrams and deformation diagrams provides key data for comparative analysis. Through comparative analysis, an effective assessment of the structural safety of the gas storage tank is achieved, providing a scientific basis for structural optimization. The adjusted gas storage tank structure can better adapt to extreme environments such as earthquakes, ensuring the safe operation of the gas storage facility.

[0066] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the process of creating the three-dimensional geometric model of the gas storage tank in step S1 specifically includes the following steps:

[0067] Step S11: Filter the preprocessed gas storage tank parameters to obtain the basic geometric element parameters of the gas storage tank; define multiple point coordinate pairs for the basic geometric elements, and form the boundary of the model by connecting the coordinates;

[0068] Step S12: Use the boundary blending function to connect different surfaces and make them transition smoothly at the boundary. Refine the surface by adding new coordinates at each point coordinate and calculating its position to generate a smoother surface.

[0069] Step S13: Optimize and render the 3D geometric model of the gas storage tank, add parameters such as texture and material properties, and input them into the simulation device after setting.

[0070] Preferably, in this embodiment, the preprocessed gas tank parameters are screened to obtain the basic geometric element parameters of the gas tank, and multiple point coordinate pairs are defined to connect and form the boundary of the model; different surfaces are connected using the boundary blending function to make them transition smoothly at the boundary, and a smoother surface is generated by refining the surface; the three-dimensional geometric model of the gas tank is optimized and rendered, and parameters such as texture and material properties are added and input into the simulation device.

[0071] In summary, this embodiment initially outlines the contour of the gas storage tank by selecting parameters and defining coordinate pairs, ensuring the accuracy and realism of the model. Smoothing transitions and refining surfaces can eliminate abruptness and unevenness in the model, making it closer to the appearance of the actual gas storage tank and improving the model's precision and realism. Optimization and rendering make the model more realistic, and adding textures and material properties can simulate the physical properties of the gas storage tank. Inputting the model into a simulation device allows for subsequent simulation analysis and testing.

[0072] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the process of discretizing the three-dimensional geometric model of the gas storage tank into a finite element network in step S1 specifically includes the following steps:

[0073] Step S14: Determine the type, real constants, material properties, and coordinate system of the underground gas storage tank; set a fine mesh density in the area where material properties change; generate a mesh based on the element properties; check the mesh after generation; and merge the generated mesh with other parts of the model.

[0074] Step S15: Based on the material properties of the underground gas storage tank, determine the material parameters such as Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and density of each small unit; based on the construction environment of the underground gas storage tank, define the boundary conditions such as fixed supports and displacement constraints of the model, as well as the applied loads such as gravity, pressure, and temperature.

[0075] Step S16: Combine the local equations of all small elements into a global equation set, and solve the equation set to obtain the model response. After the solution is completed, plot the corresponding stress distribution diagram and deformation diagram.

[0076] Preferably, in this embodiment, the type, real constants, material properties, and coordinate system of the underground gas storage tank are determined. A fine mesh density is set in areas where material properties change to ensure the accuracy of simulation results in critical areas. Mesh generation is performed based on element properties, and the mesh is checked to ensure its quality and applicability. The generated mesh is merged with other parts of the model to form a complete simulation model. Material parameters are determined based on the properties of the building materials, and the boundary conditions and loads of the model are defined, determining the key inputs and responses of the model. The local equations of all small elements are combined into a global equation set. After solving the equation set, stress distribution diagrams and deformation diagrams are plotted to visually display the simulation results.

[0077] In summary, this embodiment provides an accurate and complete model foundation for simulation analysis, ensuring the reliability of the simulation results. The fine mesh setting improves the simulation accuracy, especially in critical areas where material properties change. It ensures that the simulation analysis accurately reflects the behavior of the underground gas storage tank in the actual environment. Precise material parameters and boundary conditions enhance the accuracy of the simulation results. By solving the overall equation set, the stress distribution and deformation of the underground gas storage tank under specific conditions are obtained. The stress distribution diagram and deformation diagram provide intuitive simulation results, facilitating the analysis and evaluation of the safety and performance of the underground gas storage tank.

[0078] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the process of simulating the effect of an earthquake on a gas storage tank in step S2 specifically includes the following steps:

[0079] Step S21: Collect earthquake records and related parameters of different magnitudes from historical earthquake data, and organize earthquake waveform data; generate corresponding ground motion records according to different magnitudes, organize the generated ground motion records into a database, and apply the ground motion records to the model;

[0080] Step S22: Simulate the dynamic response of the underground gas storage tank under seismic loading, analyze the stress distribution and deformation of the underground gas storage tank under seismic loading, and obtain parameters such as circumferential stress and vertical stress; based on the obtained parameters, derive the stress distribution diagram and deformation diagram of the underground gas storage tank.

[0081] Step S23: Obtain the stress distribution diagram and deformation diagram of the underground gas storage tank and display them on the visualization device; verify the calculation results based on historical data, and optimize and adjust them based on the verification results.

[0082] Preferably, this embodiment collects historical earthquake data, organizes earthquake waveform data, generates ground motion records, and applies them to the model, ensuring the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the model input data. By organizing earthquake waveform data and generating ground motion records, the impact of different magnitudes on underground gas storage tanks can be simulated, improving the accuracy and practicality of the simulation. Through simulation, the specific stress distribution and deformation of underground gas storage tanks under earthquake action can be obtained, providing key data for evaluating their seismic performance. Visualization makes the results more intuitive and easy to understand, facilitating decision-makers and engineers to quickly understand the problem. Verification with historical data ensures the accuracy and reliability of the simulation results, while optimization and adjustments further improve the accuracy of the simulation.

[0083] In summary, this embodiment makes the simulation closer to real-world conditions, providing strong data support for the seismic design and safety assessment of underground gas storage tanks; it helps to identify potential structural weaknesses, providing guidance for improving design and strengthening structural safety; it improves the scientific nature and efficiency of decision-making, and provides strong protection for the safe operation of underground gas storage tanks.

[0084] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the process of establishing the simulated seismic database in step S21 specifically includes the following steps:

[0085] Step S211: Collect data on different magnitude scales of historical earthquakes, such as body wave magnitude, surface wave magnitude, and moment magnitude; perform preprocessing on the historical earthquake data, including scanning, image processing, and format conversion.

[0086] Step S212: Compile a unified earthquake catalog containing information such as magnitude and depth of earthquake events, remove foreshocks and aftershocks, and retain only mainshock events; divide earthquake magnitudes into different intervals and convert different magnitudes into moment magnitudes;

[0087] Step S213: Create a distributed database and partition table, and import the processed earthquake data; set up simulated earthquake databases of different magnitudes according to the partitioned intervals, including uncertain parameters such as focal depth, dip angle and radiation coefficient.

[0088] Preferably, this embodiment collects and preprocesses historical earthquake data at various magnitude scales. Through scanning, image processing, and format conversion, the data is made more standardized and easier to process. A unified earthquake catalog is compiled, removing foreshocks and aftershocks and retaining only the mainshock event. Earthquake magnitudes are uniformly converted into moment magnitudes to facilitate earthquake data analysis. A distributed database and partitioned tables are created to effectively manage the processed earthquake data. A simulated earthquake database is set up, comprehensively considering uncertain parameters such as focal depth, dip angle, and radiation coefficient.

[0089] In summary, this embodiment provides a reliable data foundation for the analysis and research of the impact of earthquakes on gas storage tanks, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the data and helping to improve the accuracy and reliability of the simulation of the effects of earthquakes on underground gas storage tanks. By unifying the earthquake catalog and magnitude conversion, the complexity of earthquake data is simplified, making the comparison and analysis of earthquake events more intuitive and accurate, which helps to reveal the laws and characteristics of seismic activity. The management efficiency and utilization rate of earthquake data are improved, making the storage, query and analysis of earthquake data more efficient. The establishment of a simulated earthquake database helps to conduct earthquake disaster risk assessment and emergency plan formulation, improving the efficiency and accuracy of earthquake response.

[0102] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the process of identifying potential problems with the underground gas storage tank structure in step S3 specifically includes the following steps:

[0103] Step S31: Receive stress distribution map and deformation map data from simulation model and real-time sensor, extract key features from the images, such as stress concentration areas and deformation patterns; compare the similarity and differences between simulation data and real-time data; output comparison results, including similarity score, difference area marking and potential problem identification;

[0106]

[0107] In the formula, S(D) s D r ) represents simulation data D s and real-time data D r Similarity score between them, D s D represents the simulation dataset, specifically the stress distribution and deformation maps generated from the simulation model. r This represents a real-time dataset, consisting of stress distribution and deformation maps acquired through real-time sensors. N represents the total number of key points in the dataset, and D... s,i D represents the feature value of the i-th keypoint in the simulation dataset. r,i Let min(D) represent the feature value of the i-th keypoint in the real-time dataset. s,i D r,i ) represents the minimum eigenvalue of the i-th keypoint in both simulation and real-time data, max(D s,i D r,i ) represents the maximum value of the feature value of the i-th key point in the simulation data and the real-time data;

[0108] Step S33: Use an autoencoder to identify stress concentration areas and deformation anomalies, classify the anomaly areas, and mark potential problem areas;

[0109] The expression for identifying stress concentration regions and deformation anomalies is as follows:

[0110]

[0111] In the formula, E(D) r ) represents real-time data D r The anomaly score indicates the degree of stress concentration areas and deformation anomalies, D. r This represents a real-time dataset, consisting of stress distribution and deformation maps acquired through real-time sensors.

Each step together constitutes a complete problem identification and analysis process.

[0114] like Figure 8As shown, this embodiment provides an example of a sandwich steel-lined underground high-pressure gas storage tank device. In this embodiment, the sandwich steel-lined underground high-pressure gas storage tank device includes a gas storage cavity 1, a composite lining structure 2, a drainage hole 3, an anchor bolt 4, an inlet / outlet (pipe) 5, a traffic / maintenance passage 6, and surrounding rock 7.

[0115] The gas storage cavity 1 is surrounded by a composite lining structure 2. There are multiple drainage holes 3 around the gas storage cavity 1, and anchor rods 4 are fixed in the intervals between each pair of drainage holes 3. An inlet / outlet (pipe) 5 is provided at the top of the gas storage cavity 1. The inlet / outlet (pipe) 5 is connected to the outside through a traffic / maintenance channel 6. The entire gas storage tank device is surrounded by surrounding rock 7.

[0116] Preferably, the sandwich steel-lined underground high-pressure gas storage tank proposed in this embodiment has the following main structure from the inside out: a gas storage cavity 1, a concrete-lined inner shell, a steel-lined "sandwich" sealing layer, a concrete-lined outer shell (including a drainage and pressure reduction system), a backfill concrete layer, and a support system layer (anchor bolts 4, reinforcing bars, and shotcrete, etc.).

[0117] In summary, this embodiment effectively utilizes the bearing capacity of the surrounding rock 7 by employing a tight combination of a "sandwich" steel lining and a concrete-lined inner and outer shell. This allows the device to withstand high internal pressure while maintaining stability, reducing the amount of steel lining used and lowering project costs. The concrete-lined inner shell provides internal support for the steel lining under external pressure, enhancing the stability of the entire gas storage tank structure and enabling the gas storage tank to better adapt to the underground environment, reducing structural deformation caused by changes in external pressure. The sealant in the "sandwich" sealing layer of the steel lining effectively prevents gas leakage and improves the sealing performance of the gas storage tank. The inlet / outlet (pipe) is connected to the outside via traffic / maintenance channels, making maintenance and repair of the gas storage tank more convenient, improving its reliability and service life, and reducing malfunctions and downtime caused by improper maintenance. By reducing material usage and lowering project costs, it contributes to achieving environmental protection and sustainability goals. At the same time, the design of the drainage hole 3 and the drainage and pressure reduction system effectively prevents groundwater from eroding and damaging the gas storage tank, protecting groundwater resources.

[0118] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment of the sandwich steel-lined underground high-pressure gas storage tank device, the composite lining structure includes: gas storage cavity 1, drainage hole 3, anchor bolt 4 (connected to the steel lining), surrounding rock 7, concrete inner shell 8, steel lining (sealing layer) 9, concrete lining outer shell 10, drainage pipe (connected to drainage hole 3) 11, backfill concrete 12 and shotcrete 13.

[0119] The structure consists of, from the inside out, a concrete inner shell 8, a steel lining (sealing layer) 9, a concrete-lined outer shell 10, a drainage pipe 11, backfill concrete 12, shotcrete 13, and the outermost surrounding rock 7; the drainage hole 3 is connected to the drainage pipe 11, and the anchor bolt 4 is connected to the steel lining (sealing layer) 9.

[0120] Preferably, in this embodiment, the steel lining adopts a "sandwich" design, which is in close contact with the concrete inner shell 8 and the concrete lining outer shell 10. This not only satisfies the sealing function but also transfers the high internal pressure load to the external surrounding rock 7, making full use of the bearing capacity of the surrounding rock 7. At the same time, the concrete inner shell 8 can provide internal support for the steel lining when resisting external pressure, which can significantly reduce the amount of steel lining 9 used. The thickness can be reduced to about half that of the steel plate lining sealing type, while simultaneously meeting the goals of bearing high internal pressure, resisting external pressure stability, and reducing project costs.

[0121] In summary, this embodiment, through the use of a composite lining structure 2, particularly the "sandwich" steel lining design, enables the device to efficiently store high-pressure gas. The steel lining 9, acting as a sealing layer, ensures the tightness of the gas storage cavity 1, preventing gas leakage and thus improving the safety and efficiency of gas storage. The "sandwich" steel lining, in close contact with the concrete inner shell 8 and outer shell, effectively transfers the high internal pressure load to the surrounding rock 7. It fully utilizes the bearing capacity of the surrounding rock 7, reducing the burden on the gas storage tank itself and improving the stability and safety of the overall structure. By providing internal support to the steel lining under external pressure through the concrete inner shell 8, the amount of steel lining 9 can be significantly reduced. The combined use of the concrete inner shell 8 and outer shell not only provides additional support for the steel lining 9 but also enhances the overall structure's resistance to external pressure. The design of the drainage hole 3 and drainage pipe 11 helps to remove accumulated water inside the gas storage tank, keeping the internal environment dry and clean. By rationally utilizing the bearing capacity of the surrounding rock 7 and reducing material usage, the project cost is reduced, as is the consumption of natural resources and environmental damage.
