Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of compressed air energy storage in aquifers, and more particularly to a method for quickly locating faults of compressed air energy storage devices in aquifers. Background Art

[0002] At present, the intermittent supply of renewable energy poses a great challenge to the stability of the power grid. The inherent limitations of renewable energy highlight the urgent need for large-scale energy storage systems around the world. At present, only pumped storage and compressed air storage can provide low-cost, stable, long-term energy storage. However, due to the geographical limitations of pumped storage and the low energy storage efficiency and heat recovery pollution problems of traditional compressed air storage, groundwater aquifer compressed air energy storage has become a trend in the future. Failures in groundwater aquifer compressed air storage systems will reduce energy storage efficiency. If the failures are not resolved in a timely manner, the service life of the equipment will be shortened, the operating and maintenance costs will increase, and even groundwater pollution will occur.

[0003] However, there is no systematic fault analysis and positioning method for groundwater aquifer compressed air energy storage devices in the prior art, and the positioning speed is slow and there is also the problem of low positioning accuracy.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a method for quickly locating faults in an aquifer compressed air energy storage device that can monitor data in real time, locate faults more quickly and accurately, and continuously optimize the model is an issue that technicians in this field urgently need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a method for quickly locating faults in an aquifer compressed air energy storage device, aiming to solve one of the problems in the above-mentioned background technology. It comprehensively applies multiple technologies such as data analysis and model simulation, and can monitor data in real time, locate faults more quickly and accurately, and continuously optimize the model.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A method for quickly locating faults of an aquifer compressed air energy storage device, comprising:

[0008] Step 1: Monitoring data collection: During the operation of the energy storage device, the downhole pressure, temperature, and air flow data are continuously collected, and the data changes are compared with the preset thresholds;

[0009] Step 2: Fault analysis model. When any monitoring parameter fluctuates abnormally, the fault probability analysis is performed by combining environmental data with the gas flow simulation model to determine whether there is air leakage or water cone phenomenon. If the probability of abnormal fluctuation is greater than the preset threshold, there may be a system failure.

[0010] Step 3: Fault location. Based on the hydrodynamic-gas flow model, simulate the air diffusion near the fault point, and compare the observed data with the model calculation results to locate the possible fault point. By adjusting the monitoring and control parameters, verify and optimize the accuracy of the fault diagnosis model.

[0011] Furthermore, the specific process of collecting monitoring data includes: continuously collecting downhole pressure, temperature, and air flow data through sensors in the energy storage device and recording their changes, comparing them with preset thresholds, and performing fault probability analysis if they exceed the preset thresholds.

[0012] Furthermore, the specific process of failure probability analysis includes:

[0013] For abnormal data, analyze the changes in the abnormal data and conduct fault probability analysis by combining environmental data with the gas flow simulation model;

[0014] If the failure probability is less than the preset abnormal fluctuation probability, the failure probability analysis ends.

[0015] Furthermore, the specific process of failure probability analysis also includes:

[0016] If the fault probability is greater than the preset threshold, there may be a system fault, and the fault is located;

[0017] The abnormal data fluctuations are compared, and the midpoint of the abnormal data set is extracted and set as the suspected fault point. Based on the hydrodynamic-gas flow model, the air diffusion near the suspected fault point is simulated. The pressure, temperature, and air flow data obtained by the model simulation are compared with the observed data to determine the location of the fault point.

[0018] Furthermore, the accuracy of the fault diagnosis model is verified and optimized by adjusting the monitoring and control parameters.

[0019] Furthermore, the sensors are arranged in a zoned distribution to collect temperature and air flow parameters at the compressor, turbine and thermal management system, pressure and air flow parameters at the injection well and each pipeline, and water quality parameters at the aquifer.

[0020] Furthermore, the threshold setting is optimized and adjusted according to the fault diagnosis model.

[0021] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that, compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a method for quickly locating faults in an aquifer compressed air energy storage device. By detecting various data and analyzing them in combination with a model, the fault can be located more quickly and accurately, and can be inspected according to parameters. When an abnormality occurs in the monitoring data in the device, the data can be quickly processed to obtain the fault probability, and then the fault can be accurately located through computational simulation, which is convenient for subsequent troubleshooting and maintenance of device operation. The method provided by the present invention comprehensively applies data analysis and model simulation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
