[0002] With the continuous growth of energy demand and the emphasis on the use of renewable energy, energy storage technology has become a research hotspot in the energy field. Compressed air energy storage, as a large-scale energy storage technology, has the advantages of large energy storage capacity, long life, and relatively low cost. It has important application value in power system peak shaving and valley filling, and renewable energy grid integration. Application publication number CN118224066A discloses an air compression device and air compression method, comprising an air storage tank and a control panel.

The control panel includes a temperature monitoring unit, a cooling model establishment unit, a cooling efficiency balancing unit, a cooling control unit, and a turbulence control unit. The present invention adds a cooling function to the basic function of an existing two-stage piston compressor, cooling the compressed air whose temperature rises after the first compression, ensuring that the temperature is within a controllable range before the second compression.
