Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of offshore wind power energy storage technology, and in particular to an offshore wind power system energy storage device and an operating method. Background Art

[0002] Offshore wind power, like onshore wind power, is volatile, intermittent and irregular, resulting in a lot of energy being wasted, so offshore wind power requires energy storage.

[0003] Traditional offshore energy storage mostly uses the same electrochemical energy storage technology as on land, such as lithium-ion batteries. Batteries can quickly respond and efficiently store and release energy. This requires each wind turbine to be equipped with a battery energy storage device. This energy storage method improves the adjustment speed and response accuracy of the wind farm. However, the production and maintenance costs of battery energy storage equipment are high, and the service life is limited. The buoyancy of seawater can be used to store energy at sea. This method saves battery costs and reduces the failure rate. The patent with application number CN202110756986.5 discloses a composite offshore wind power generation and storage device using buoyancy and gravity. By controlling the energy storage The buoyancy regulating mechanism rises in the water, and when releasing energy, the buoyancy regulating mechanism moves downward under the action of gravity, and drives the rotating propeller to rotate through contact with sea water to generate electricity. However, this method has high requirements on the depth of the water area. At the same time, the buoyancy regulating mechanism is provided with multiple devices such as power generation components and energy conversion mechanisms. There are wires connected between the buoyancy regulating mechanism and the wind turbine. When in use, the buoyancy regulating mechanism is likely to float in the water, pulling the wind turbine, and is prone to collision and failure. Therefore, in order to minimize the equipment in the water during energy storage and thereby reduce the failure rate during energy storage, it is necessary to propose an offshore wind power system energy storage device.

[0079] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0080] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment proposes an offshore wind power system energy storage device, including a power generation platform 1, a power generation mechanism, a buoyancy adjustment mechanism and a driving mechanism; the power generation mechanism is arranged in the center of the power generation platform 1, and the power generation mechanism is used to generate electricity through wind power, and convert the stored buoyancy into electrical energy for power generation; the buoyancy adjustment mechanism is arranged below the power generation platform 1, and the buoyancy adjustment mechanism is used to convert and store excess wind energy and buoyancy; the driving mechanism is arranged on the power generation platform 1, and the driving mechanism is transmission-connected with the power generation mechanism, and the driving mechanism is transmission-connected with the buoyancy adjustment mechanism, and the driving mechanism is used to transmission-connect the power generation mechanism with the buoyancy adjustment mechanism; wherein, a transmission channel 2 is provided on the side of the power generation platform 1 away from the power generation mechanism, and the driving mechanism and the buoyancy adjustment mechanism are both assembled and installed through the transmission channel 2.

[0081] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the power generation mechanism includes a column 3, a unit casing 4, blades 5, a clutch 6 and a generator 7; the column 3 is fixedly arranged in the center of the power generation platform 1, and the center of the column 3 is arranged to be hollow; the unit casing 4 is fixedly arranged on the top of the column 3; the blades 5 are rotatably arranged on the outside of the unit casing 4; the clutch 6 is fixedly arranged inside the unit casing 4, and the clutch 6 is transmission-connected to the blades 5; the generator 7 is fixedly arranged inside the unit casing 4, and the generator 7 is transmission-connected to the clutch 6, so that the blades 5 directly drive the generator 7 to generate electricity through the clutch 6, or the blades 5 drive the moving frame 24 to dive into the water, directly converting wind power into the buoyancy of the float 25, reducing the steps of converting wind power into electrical energy, and then converting electrical energy into buoyancy and gravitational potential energy for energy storage, reducing the use of some underwater equipment, and thus reducing the failure rate and cost.

[0082] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the clutch 6 is provided with a transmission shaft 1 8, a transmission shaft 2 9 and a transmission shaft 3 10. The transmission shaft 1 8 is connected to the blade 5, and the transmission shaft 2 9 is connected to the generator 7. The transmission shaft 1 8, the transmission shaft 2 9 and the transmission shaft 3 10 are all transmitted through the gears and other devices that cooperate with each other inside the clutch 6. By adjusting the internal devices of the clutch 6, the mutual transmission between the transmission shaft 1 8, the transmission shaft 2 9 and the transmission shaft 3 10 can be controlled; specifically, the clutch 6 can adjust the transmission shaft 1 8 to drive the transmission shaft 2 9 to rotate to perform a wind power generation operation; the clutch 6 can adjust the transmission shaft 1 8 to drive the transmission shaft 3 10 to rotate to perform an energy storage operation in which wind energy is converted into buoyancy; the clutch 6 can adjust the transmission shaft 3 10 to drive the transmission shaft 2 9 to rotate through the gears and other mechanisms inside the clutch 6 to perform an energy release operation.

[0083] like Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the driving mechanism includes a linkage component, a transmission frame 11, a gear set and a transmission frame 2 12; the linkage component is connected to the clutch 6, the linkage component passes through the column 3 and extends into the transmission channel 2, and the end of the linkage component extending into the transmission channel 2 is connected with a gear set, and the linkage component is used to drive the gear set to move; the transmission frame 11 is fixedly set in the transmission channel 2, and the transmission frame 11 is sleeved on the linkage component; the gear set is sleeved on the transmission frame 11, and the gear set is used to drive the buoyancy adjustment mechanism to move under the action of the linkage component; the transmission frame 2 12 is fixedly set in the transmission channel 2, and the transmission frame 2 12 is sleeved on the outside of the gear set.

[0084] The linkage assembly transmits the rotation of the blades 5 to the gear set, which then transfers the kinetic energy to the buoyancy adjustment mechanism, performing an energy storage operation that converts wind energy into buoyancy. The drive mechanism, acting as a transmission device, directly transmits the energy from the rotation of the blades 5 to the motion frame 24 of the buoyancy adjustment mechanism. The rotation of the blades 5 pulls the motion frame 24 to store energy, performing an energy storage operation that converts wind energy into buoyancy. Furthermore, when the motion frame 24 in the buoyancy adjustment mechanism rises under the action of buoyancy, it drives the gear set to rotate. The gear set then drives the clutch 6 through the linkage assembly, which then causes the generator 7 to generate electricity, performing an energy release operation. This achieves both energy storage and release.

[0085] like Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, the linkage assembly includes a linkage frame 13, a transmission wheel 14, and a transmission wheel 2 15. The linkage frame 13 is fixedly mounted in the column 3, and the transmission wheel 14 is rotatably mounted in the linkage frame 13. The transmission wheel 14 is connected to the transmission shaft 3 10, and the transmission wheel 2 15 is rotatably mounted in the linkage frame 13. The transmission wheel 14 and the transmission wheel 2 15 are in transmission connection with each other. A driving rod 16 is mounted on the transmission wheel 2 15, and the driving rod 16 passes through the linkage frame 13 and the transmission frame 1 11. The transmission wheel 14 and the transmission wheel 2 15 are provided with a belt or chain or other transmission device. A transmission member is mounted between the transmission wheel 14 and the transmission wheel 2 15. When the transmission shaft 3 10 drives the transmission wheel 14 to rotate, the transmission member drives the transmission wheel 2 15 to rotate. When the transmission wheel 2 15 rotates, it drives the driving rod 16 to rotate.

[0086] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the transmission frame 11 is rotatably provided with a plurality of transmission rods 17, which pass through the transmission frame 2 12, and one of the transmission rods 17 is connected to the driving rod 16. When the driving rod 16 rotates, it drives one of the transmission rods 17 to rotate.

[0087] The gear set includes a bevel gear 18 and a gear ring 19. Multiple bevel gears 18 are provided, each mounted on a transmission rod 17. Two gear rings 19 are provided, one above the other of the multiple bevel gears 18. The gear rings 19 are rotatably mounted on the transmission frame 11, and the multiple bevel gears 18 mesh with the two gear rings 19. In this embodiment, there are four transmission rods 17 and four deep-water frame 20. When the drive rod 16 rotates the transmission rod 17 connected thereto, it rotates one of the bevel gears 18 at its end, which in turn rotates the two gear rings 19 on the transmission frame 11. The rotation of the two gear rings 19 simultaneously rotates the other three bevel gears 18, causing the four bevel gears 18 to rotate at the same speed as the four transmission rods 17. The transmission rod 17 drives the transmission chain to move, pulling the motion frame 24 into the water.

[0088] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the buoyancy adjustment mechanism includes a deep-water frame 20, a driving wheel 21 and a buoyancy assembly. There are multiple deep-water frames 20, and the deep-water frames 20 correspond one to one with the transmission rod 17. The deep-water frame 20 is fixedly arranged in the transmission channel 2, and one end of the transmission rod 17 extends into the deep-water frame 20. The driving wheel 21 is rotatably arranged in the deep-water frame 20. A transmission chain is provided between the driving wheel 21 and the tensioning sleeve on the transmission rod 17. The buoyancy assembly is arranged on the transmission chain. The buoyancy assembly is used to rise and fall in seawater to store energy; specifically, when the transmission rod 17 rotates, it drives the transmission chain to move with the driving wheel 21 as the support; when the transmission chain moves, it drives the buoyancy assembly to rise and fall.

[0089] The buoyancy assembly includes a through slot 22, a connecting rod 23, a motion frame 24, and a float 25. The through slot 22 is provided on the side of the deep water frame 20. A connecting rod 23 is fixedly mounted on each transmission chain, passing through the through slot 22. The motion frame 24 is mounted on the connecting rod 23 and fixedly connected to each connecting rod 23. Multiple floats 25 are provided, and multiple floats 25 are arranged on the motion frame 24. The motion frame 24 is mounted outside the multiple deep water frames 20 and connected to four connecting rods 23. In this embodiment, there are eight floats 25. Therefore, the connecting rod 23 passes through the through slot 22 and connects to the motion frame 24. The deep water frame 20 is immersed in the water. The motion frame 24 surrounds the deep water frame 20, and the deep water frame 20 can be raised and lowered within the range of its immersion in the water.

[0090] When each transmission rod 17 rotates simultaneously, the corresponding transmission chain is driven to move through the support of the corresponding driving wheel 21, and then the connecting rod 23 is driven to rise and fall along the through groove 22 on the side of the deep water frame 20; when all the connecting rods 23 are raised and lowered, the moving frame 24 is driven to rise and fall; because the deep water frame 20 is deep in the water, the moving frame 24 surrounds the deep water frame 20, and therefore, the moving frame 24 can be raised and lowered within the range where the deep water frame 20 is deep in the water.

[0091] In summary, the working principle of the energy storage device of this offshore wind power system is:

[0092] The blades 5 rotate under the action of wind power, and the blades 5 drive the generator 7 to generate electricity through the clutch 6; when energy storage is needed, the clutch 6 causes the transmission shaft 1 8 to drive the transmission shaft 3 10 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 3 10 drives the transmission wheel 2 15 to rotate through the transmission wheel 1 14, and the transmission wheel 2 15 drives the driving rod 16 to rotate, and the driving rod 16 drives the transmission rod 17 connected thereto to rotate, and the transmission rod 17 drives the bevel gear 18 to rotate, and the bevel gear 18 drives the two gear rings 19 to rotate, and the two gear rings 19 drive the other three bevel gears 18 to rotate, so that the four transmission rods 17 rotate at a uniform speed. The transmission rod 17 rotates through the transmission chain to drive the driving wheel 21 to rotate, and the transmission chain drives the connecting rod 23 to rise and fall in the groove 22. The four connecting rods 23 drive the moving frame 24 to descend, and the float 25 moves into the water. When the stored energy needs to be released, the clutch 6 controls the transmission shaft three 10 to drive the transmission shaft two 9 to rotate, and the float 25 moves upward under the action of buoyancy, and the transmission chain drives the transmission rod 17 to rotate. The transmission rod 17 then drives the transmission wheel one 14 to rotate through the bevel gear 18, the gear ring 19, the driving rod 16 and the transmission wheel two 15, thereby driving the generator 7 to generate electricity.

[0093] Specifically, the present invention provides an operating method for an offshore wind power system energy storage device, comprising the following steps:

[0094] Step S1, by adjusting the clutch 6, the offshore wind power system energy storage device performs the wind power generation operation mode of step S2, the energy storage operation mode of converting wind energy into buoyancy of step S3, and the energy release operation mode of step S4 as needed;

[0095] Step S2, wind power generation condition:

[0096] In the wind power generation mode, the clutch 6 is adjusted to make the transmission shaft 1 8 and the transmission shaft 2 9 transmit, and the transmission shaft 3 10 and the transmission shaft 1 8 are disconnected, and the transmission between the transmission shaft 3 10 and the transmission shaft 2 9 is disconnected;

[0097] The blades 5 rotate under the action of wind. When the blades 5 rotate, the transmission between the transmission shaft 1 8 and the transmission shaft 2 9 of the clutch 6 drives the generator 7 to generate electricity.

[0098] Step S3, wind energy is converted into buoyancy energy storage condition:

[0099] During the energy storage condition in which wind energy is converted into buoyancy, the clutch 6 is adjusted to allow transmission shaft 1 8 and transmission shaft 3 10 to transmit, and the transmission between transmission shaft 3 10 and transmission shaft 2 9 is disconnected. Transmission between transmission shaft 1 8 and transmission shaft 2 9 can be transmitted or disconnected; that is, the energy storage condition in which wind energy is converted into buoyancy can be carried out independently or simultaneously with the wind power generation condition.

[0100] The blades 5 rotate under the action of wind. Through the transmission action between the transmission shaft 1 8 and the transmission shaft 3 10 of the clutch 6, the blades 5 rotate, driving the transmission shaft 1 8 to rotate, and then driving the transmission shaft 3 10 to rotate;

[0101] When the transmission shaft 3 10 rotates, the motion frame 24 in the buoyancy adjustment mechanism is driven to steadily descend through the driving mechanism, thereby causing the float 25 to move into the water, converting wind energy into buoyancy, and performing an energy storage mode of converting wind energy into buoyancy;

[0102] In this step, when the transmission shaft 3 10 rotates, the motion frame 24 in the buoyancy adjustment mechanism is driven to steadily descend through the driving mechanism, specifically:

[0103] When the transmission shaft 3 10 rotates, it drives the transmission wheel 14 to rotate, and the transmission wheel 14 drives the transmission wheel 2 15 to rotate through the transmission member; when the transmission wheel 2 15 rotates, it drives the connected drive rod 16 to rotate;

[0104] When the driving rod 16 rotates, it drives one of the transmission rods 17 connected to it to rotate;

[0105] When the transmission rod 17 rotates, it drives the bevel gear 18 at its end to rotate, and then drives the two gear rings 19 to rotate on the transmission frame 11; when the two gear rings 19 rotate, they drive the other bevel gears 18 to rotate at the same time, and then drive the other transmission rods 17 to rotate, thereby achieving uniform rotation of all transmission rods 17;

[0106] When all the transmission rods 17 rotate at a constant speed, they drive the transmission chains to move with the drive wheels 21 as support. When the transmission chains move, they drive the connecting rods 23 to descend in the grooves 22. All the connecting rods 23 drive the motion frame 24 to descend stably.

[0107] Step S4, energy release condition:

[0108] During the energy release condition, the clutch 6 is adjusted to enable transmission between the transmission shaft three 10 and the transmission shaft two 9, and to disconnect the transmission between the transmission shaft one 8 and the transmission shaft three 10; transmission can be enabled or disconnected between the transmission shaft one 8 and the transmission shaft two 9; that is, the energy release condition can be performed independently or simultaneously with the wind power generation condition.

[0109] The float 25 moves upward under the action of buoyancy, thereby driving the moving frame 24 to move upward; when the moving frame 24 moves upward, the driving mechanism drives the transmission shaft three 10 to rotate, and the transmission shaft three 10 drives the transmission shaft two 9 to rotate, thereby driving the generator 7 to generate electricity and complete the energy release.

[0110] In this step, when the moving frame 24 moves upward, the driving mechanism drives the transmission shaft 3 10 to rotate, specifically:

[0111] When the motion frame 24 moves upward, it drives the connecting rod 23 to move upward in the groove 22; when each connecting rod 23 moves upward, it drags the transmission chain to move; the movement of the transmission chain drives the transmission rod 17 to rotate, and the transmission rod 17 then drives the drive rod 16 to rotate through the engagement of the bevel gear 18 and the gear ring 19; the drive rod 16 drives the transmission wheel 2 15 to rotate; the transmission wheel 2 15 drives the transmission wheel 1 14 to rotate through the transmission member, and then drives the transmission shaft 3 10 to rotate.

[0113] 1. The present invention provides a clutch, which allows the regulating blades to directly drive the generator to generate electricity, or the blades drive the moving frame to dive into the water, directly converting wind power into buoyancy of the float, thereby reducing the steps of converting wind power into electrical energy, and then converting electrical energy into buoyancy and gravitational potential energy for energy storage, thereby reducing the use of some underwater equipment, thereby reducing the failure rate and cost;
