[0034] Specifically, in the present invention, the electric energy generated by floating wind power or photovoltaic power is divided into three paths and respectively transmitted to the electric heater 2, the motor 22, and the external power grid.

[0035] Among them, in one path delivered to the electric heater 2, the water outlet end of the electric heater 2 is sequentially connected to the motor hot water tank and the motor hot water pump. The outlet of the electric heating hot water pump 4 is also respectively connected to the inlets of the first-stage inter-heater 7, the second-stage inter-heater 8, and the third-stage inter-heater 9.

[0036] In one path delivered to the motor 22, the first-stage compressor 21, the second-stage compressor 20, and the third-stage compressor 19 are coaxially arranged, and the inlets of the three-stage compressors are respectively and simultaneously connected to the motor 22. The outlet end of each stage of the compressor is connected with an inter-stage cooler. The exhaust port of the first-stage compressor 21 is sequentially connected to the first-stage inter-cooler 23, the second-stage compressor 20, the second-stage inter-cooler 24, the third-stage compressor 19, and the third-stage inter-cooler 25. The third-stage inter-cooler 25 also passes through the first gas valve 17 and the second gas valve 18 arranged in parallel, and is connected to the underwater gas storage tank 41.

[0037] The water outlet end of the heat recovery cold water tank 26 is sequentially connected to the heat recovery cold water pump 27, the inlets of the first-stage inter-cooler 23, the second-stage inter-cooler 24, and the third-stage inter-cooler 25. The outlets of the first-stage inter-cooler 23, the second-stage inter-cooler 24, and the third-stage inter-cooler 25 are sequentially connected to the heat recovery hot water tank 28 and the heat recovery hot water pump 29.

[0038] The outlet of the heat recovery hot water pump 29 is divided into three paths, respectively connected to the first water heater 10, the second water heater 11, and the third water heater 12. The three paths of the water outlets of the first water heater 10, the second water heater 11, and the third water heater 12 are combined into one path and connected to the low-temperature multi-effect distillation seawater desalination system 30.

[0039] The low-temperature multi-effect distillation seawater desalination system 30 is also respectively connected to the heating heat exchanger 36 and the heat recovery cold water tank 26.

[0040] The first gas valve 17 is sequentially connected to the inlets of the first water heater 10 and the first-stage inter-heater 7 through the gas delivery pipe 35.

[0041] The second-stage inter-heater 8 is sequentially connected to the second expander and the third water heater 12, and the inlet of the third-stage expander 14 is connected to the third-stage inter-heater 9.

[0042] The first-stage expander 16, the second-stage expander 15, and the third-stage expander 14 are coaxially arranged, and all three are simultaneously connected to the generator 13.

[0043] In addition, the air outlet of the second-stage expander 15 is divided into two paths. One path is connected to the second water heater 11, and the other path is sequentially connected to the intake port of the third gas valve 31 and the cryogenic expander 32. The air outlet of the cryogenic expander 32 is connected to the ice-making device 33, and the ice-making device 33 is connected to the refrigeration device 34 at the back.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, the integrated floating offshore energy and resource station includes five working modes; the five working modes are respectively the energy storage mode, the energy release mode, the ice-making and refrigeration mode, the heating mode, and the fresh water production mode.

[0045] Among them, when in the energy storage mode, a part of the electric energy drives the motor 22, and the motor 22 drives a plurality of compressors to compress air, and the compressed air is stored in the underwater gas storage tank 41;

[0046] Another part of the electric energy drives the electric heater 2 to heat the water medium, and then the heated water is stored in the electric heating hot water tank.

[0047] Each compressor outlet is connected with an inter-stage cooler, and the inter-stage heat generated by compressing the gas is recovered by the corresponding inter-stage cooler. The inter-stage heat is used to heat the water medium, and then the heated water is stored in the heat recovery hot water tank 28.

[0048] When in the energy release mode, at the peak of the electric energy demand, the high-pressure air stored in the underwater gas storage tank 41 is released to drive a plurality of expanders and a plurality of generators 13 to generate electricity;

[0049] Before the high-pressure air enters the expander, it is first heated to increase the intake air temperature; the intake air of the expander adopts a two-stage heating method, first heated by the water in the heat recovery hot water tank 28, and then heated by the water in the electric heating hot water tank 3;

[0050] The water in the heat recovery hot water tank 28 heats the air through the water heater. The air heated by the water heater enters the inter-stage heater to be heated again, and then returns to the expander to perform expansion work;

[0051] The water in the electric heating hot water tank 3 enters the electric heating cold water tank 6 after passing through the inter-stage heater.

[0052] When in the ice-making and refrigeration mode, during the energy release period, the air outlet of the second-stage expander 15 is connected to the cryogenic expander 32; the air enters the cryogenic expander 32 after passing through the second-stage expander 15, and then enters the ice-making and refrigeration device 34 to perform ice-making and refrigeration correspondingly.

[0053] When in the fresh water production mode, during the energy release period, the water flows out from the water outlet of the water heater and enters the low-temperature multi-effect distillation seawater desalination system 30 for producing fresh water.

[0054] When in the heating mode, water flows out of the low-temperature multi-effect distillation seawater desalination system 30 and enters the heating heat exchanger 36 for heat exchange. The water after heat exchange in the heating heat exchanger 36 returns to the heat recovery cold water tank 26.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, since the present invention adopts the underwater drainage and gas storage method, the pressure is constant during the energy storage and energy release processes, improving the efficiency of the compressor and expander, as well as the cycle efficiency of the entire system.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, since the electric energy generated by floating wind power or photovoltaic is divided into three paths and respectively transmitted to the electric heater 2, the motor 22, and the external power grid, not only the relatively stable low-frequency electric energy is utilized, but also the high-frequency or violently fluctuating electric energy is converted into heat energy, realizing the efficient utilization and conversion of electric energy.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, since an inter-stage cooler is connected corresponding to each stage of the compressor to achieve the effect of recovering the inter-stage compression heat, the recovered inter-stage compression heat is utilized in two stages. The high-temperature part is used to heat the inlet air of the expander, and the low-temperature part is used to drive the low-temperature multi-effect distillation seawater desalination system 30 to produce fresh water. The hot water out of the low-temperature multi-effect distillation seawater desalination system 30 is further used for heating, realizing the efficient utilization and conversion of heat energy.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air entering the expander is heated in two stages. First, it is heated by the recovered inter-stage compression heat, and then by the electric heater 2, efficiently utilizing the heat energy at different temperatures, increasing the power generation, and at the same time realizing the efficient conversion of electricity-heat-electricity.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, the ice-making device 33 and the refrigeration device 34 after the low-temperature expander 32 are connected in series, realizing the efficient utilization of the cold energy of the expander.

[0060] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: The electric energy from floating wind power or photovoltaic is divided into three paths. The first path is connected to the external power grid, the second path is connected to the motor 22, and the third path is connected to the electric heater 2.

[0061] During periods of low electricity demand, the low-frequency, more stable portion of electricity drives the motor 22 and compressor, converting it into the pressure potential energy of the air for storage. The high-frequency or more volatile portion of electricity is used to drive the electric heater 2, converting it into thermal energy. This thermal energy is then used to heat the expander intake air, increasing power generation, and then converting it back into electricity. The interstage heat of compression in the compressor is recovered through the interstage cooler. This recovered heat has two uses: the high-temperature heat is used to heat the expander intake air, while the low-temperature heat is used to drive the low-temperature, multi-effect distillation desalination system 30 to produce fresh water and provide heating. The high-pressure air after the compressor is stored in an underwater air storage tank 41.

[0062] During peak power demand, high-pressure air from underwater air storage tank 41 is released, driving the expander to generate power and generator 13 to generate electricity. The air entering the expander is high-pressure but low-temperature. To improve power generation, the expander inlet temperature must be increased. The expander inlet air is heated in two stages: the first stage uses heat recovered from the interstage cooler, and the second stage uses an electric heater 2.

[0063] Ice making and refrigeration are achieved by utilizing the low-temperature expansion generated by the expander. The exhaust from the second-stage expander 15 is directed to a low-temperature expander 32, which both generates electricity and expands the air to produce low-temperature air. This low-temperature air is then used to make ice and provide refrigeration. Furthermore, since the ice-making device 33 and the refrigeration device 34 are connected in series after the low-temperature expander 32, the exhaust from the low-temperature expander 32 passes through the ice-making device 33 before the refrigeration device 34. This allows for refrigeration after ice making, effectively conserving cooling capacity.

[0064] As an embodiment of the present invention, taking the underwater gas storage tank 41 arranged at a depth of 800m as an example, three-stage compression and three-stage expansion are adopted.

[0065] The working modes of floating offshore energy and resource stations can be divided into energy storage mode, energy release mode, ice making and cooling mode, heating mode and fresh water making mode.

[0066] Energy Storage Mode: The low-frequency, relatively stable portion of the electrical energy drives motor 22, which drives a compressor to compress air at room temperature and pressure to 8 MPa, which is then stored in underwater air storage tank 41. The high-frequency, highly fluctuating portion of the electrical energy drives electric heater 2, heating water to 300°C, which is then stored in electrically heated hot water tank 3. Interstage compression heat is recovered using an interstage cooler, and the recovered 200°C hot water is stored in heat recovery hot water tank 28.

[0067] Energy release mode: During the peak power demand, the 8 MPa high-pressure air stored in the underwater gas storage tank 41 is released to drive the expander and the generator 13 to generate electricity. Before entering the expander, the high-pressure air is heated to increase the intake air temperature. The intake air of the expander is heated in two stages. First, it is heated by the water in the heat recovery hot water tank 28, and then by the water in the electric heating hot water tank 3. The 200 °C hot water in the heat recovery hot water tank 28 heats the air to 180 °C through the water heater, and the hot water leaving the water heater becomes 100 °C. The air heated by the water heater enters the inter-stage heater for further heating, and the temperature rises to 280 °C, and then enters the expander for expansion work. The 300 °C hot water in the electric heating hot water tank 3 becomes 200 °C after passing through the inter-stage heater, and then enters the electric heating cold water tank 6.

[0068] Ice making and refrigeration mode: During the energy release period, the outlet gas of the second-stage expander 15 enters the low-temperature expander 32 for expansion work before being heated. The air temperature after passing through the low-temperature expander 32 becomes -50 °C, and then enters the ice making and refrigeration equipment 34. The cold energy in the temperature range of -50 °C to -20 °C in the ice making equipment 33 is used for ice making, and the air at -20 °C to 0 °C in the refrigeration equipment 34 is used to produce 5 °C cold water.

[0069] Fresh water production mode: During the energy release period, the hot water leaving the water heater becomes 100 °C, and then this hot water enters the low-temperature multi-effect distillation seawater desalination system 30 for fresh water production. The water leaving the low-temperature multi-effect distillation seawater desalination system 30 becomes 50 °C.

[0070] Heating mode: The water leaving the low-temperature multi-effect distillation seawater desalination system 30 becomes 50 °C, and then enters the heating heat exchanger 36. In the heating heat exchanger 36, the 50 °C hot water cools down to 40 °C and then returns to the heat recovery cold water tank 26. And the heating water is heated from 35 °C to 45 °C.

[0071] Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
