Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of compressed air energy storage, and in particular to a method and system for analyzing the thermodynamic characteristics of compressed wet air in a gas storage reservoir. Background Art

[0002] Global demand for renewable energy and energy storage technologies is growing to address climate change and energy security challenges. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) power plants utilize electricity to compress and store air, then release the compressed air when needed to drive a generator for power generation, achieving efficient energy storage and utilization. This technology, with its low cost, environmental friendliness, and flexibility, is gaining increasing attention and support from governments, businesses, and investors. The development of CAES provides a new solution for promoting clean energy and addressing power system challenges.

[0003] A compressed air energy storage power station consists of six components: a compressor, an expansion turbine, a generator, a gas storage reservoir, a control system, and a heat storage system. Large-scale compressed air energy storage plants utilize underground cavities as gas storage reservoirs. The thermodynamic properties of the stored compressed air are crucial to the safety, stability, and economic viability of the entire plant. During the design and planning phase of a compressed air energy storage plant, as well as during equipment selection, it is crucial to clearly predict how the thermodynamic parameters of the compressed air will change during operation.

[0004] Current methods for calculating compressed air thermodynamic processes primarily include analytical and numerical methods. Analytical methods calculate temperature and pressure by fixing gas storage parameters (such as storage capacity and heat exchange area) and combining analytical solutions for the filling and degassing processes. Numerical methods simulate the flow of gas within the storage reservoir to predict changes in thermodynamic parameters.

[0005] However, existing technologies do not consider the impact of the moisture content of natural air or incoming gas on thermodynamic properties. Existing technologies ignore the influence of humidity in the air, resulting in deviations in calculation results. The changes in latent heat of phase change and heat transfer characteristics caused by humidity are not incorporated into the model, resulting in errors in temperature and pressure predictions; humid air may condense or freeze during the compression / expansion process, threatening equipment life and system stability; at the same time, the failure to optimize humidity-related parameters (such as the convective heat transfer coefficient) reduces the overall efficiency of the energy storage system.

[0100] Where, α p is the volume expansion coefficient, p A is the pressure, τ is the stress tensor, n is the wall normal vector pointing to the inside of the fluid; u τ is the friction velocity, Tw is the wall temperature, T+ is the dimensionless temperature.

The coupled hygrothermal model includes the air moisture transport equation, the moisture flow equation in turbulent flow, and the coupled equations for moist air phase change and temperature.

[0102] Among them, the expression of the air moisture transport equation is:

[0103]

[0104] Where M V is the molar mass of the gas phase substance, c v is the gas phase concentration, g w is the amount of gaseous material transported per unit time through a unit area, including contributions from diffusion and convection; G is the rate of generation or consumption of gaseous material, and D is the diffusion coefficient;

[0112] The real gas state equation is used to characterize the thermodynamic properties of humid air. In this embodiment, the real gas state equation is used instead of the ideal gas equation. The real gas state equation that includes humidity (such as the Redlich-Kwong equation) can be used.

[0113] In step S1, a thermodynamic theory model consisting of multiple sub-models is established to comprehensively describe the characteristics of moist air compressed in a gas storage facility. The turbulent k-ε model is used to simulate the turbulent flow characteristics of gas within the gas storage facility to accurately grasp the complex flow state of the gas. The non-isothermal flow model couples the temperature changes during gas compression and expansion to accurately characterize the flow behavior of gas under temperature changes. The hygrothermal coupling model couples the air moisture transport equation to describe the humidity diffusion, phase change, and latent heat exchange processes, taking into account the influence of humidity on the thermodynamic properties of the gas. The actual gas equation of state is used to accurately characterize the thermodynamic properties of moist air. Combining these models allows for a comprehensive and precise thermodynamic theory system for moist air compressed in a gas storage facility.

[0114] Step S2: constructing a three-dimensional gas storage reservoir numerical model including a fluid domain, a sealing layer lining domain, and a surrounding rock domain based on the thermodynamic theoretical model.

[0115] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the three-dimensional gas storage numerical model provided by the present invention, referring to Figure 2 The gas storage reservoir consists of a gas inlet and outlet port 1, a gas storage chamber 2, a sealing layer and lining structure 3, and surrounding rock 4. The gas inlet and outlet port 1 connects to the gas storage chamber 2, forming the core flow channel of the fluid domain; the sealing layer and lining structure 3 tightly wrap the gas storage chamber to prevent gas leakage and provide mechanical support; the surrounding rock 4 serves as the external geological environment.

[0116] In step S2, based on the gas storage structure, the gas filling and discharging ports and the gas storage chamber are used as fluid domains to accommodate compressed wet air; the sealing layer and lining structure are used as the sealing layer lining domain to perform sealing and protection functions; the surrounding rock is used as the surrounding rock domain to provide external support; and each domain is numbered.

[0117] Within each constructed domain, flow models are used to analyze gas turbulence within the fluid domain, understanding characteristics such as airflow velocity and energy dissipation. Non-isothermal flow models are used to account for the effects of temperature changes on gas flow during compression and expansion. Hygrothermal coupling models can analyze humidity diffusion, water vapor phase transitions, and latent heat exchange within the fluid domain. The real gas equation of state accurately describes the thermodynamic relationships between pressure, volume, and temperature of moist air within the fluid domain. This enables the numerical simulation of complex physical processes within the gas storage reservoir.

[0118] Step S3: assigning wet air material parameters to the fluid domain of the three-dimensional gas storage numerical model, assigning concrete and rock material parameters to the solid domain, and setting the initial conditions and boundary conditions of the three-dimensional gas storage numerical model.

[0119] Specifically, the fluid domain is assigned humid air material parameters. These material parameters include the convective heat transfer coefficient, specific heat capacity, molar mass, dynamic viscosity, density, thermal conductivity, and specific heat rate. These parameters are key indicators for describing the thermodynamic and transport properties of humid air. For example, the convective heat transfer coefficient affects the efficiency of heat transfer between the gas and the surrounding environment; the specific heat capacity determines the degree of temperature change when the gas absorbs or releases heat; and the dynamic viscosity affects the flow resistance of the gas. By accurately assigning these parameters, processes such as the flow, heat transfer, and humidity changes of humid air within the fluid domain of the gas storage reservoir can be more accurately simulated.

[0120] The solid domain consists of the sealing layer lining domain and the surrounding rock domain, which are assigned relevant material parameters for concrete and rock, respectively. These material parameters include elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, density, and thermal conductivity. These parameters describe the mechanical and thermal properties of the solid domain. For example, the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio determine the deformation characteristics of the solid structure under load, while thermal conductivity affects the heat conduction within the solid.

[0121] Furthermore, the initial and boundary conditions of the 3D gas storage numerical model are set. The initial pressure of the fluid domain is set based on whether the initial cushioning process is distinguished. If the initial cushioning process is distinguished, the initial pressure may be set to the design pressure; if not, it is set to the ambient atmospheric pressure.

[0122] In terms of boundary condition settings, this embodiment dynamically adjusts pressure, flow rate, and heat flux according to the power plant's operating charging and discharging processes. By combining theoretical models such as flow models, non-isothermal flow models, and air moisture transport equations, the model can simulate complex physical processes within the gas storage reservoir under different operating conditions, such as the high-speed inflow of gas during charging and the pressure drop and accompanying temperature changes during discharging.

[0123] Step S4: solving the three-dimensional gas storage numerical model to obtain the spatial variation process of the temperature, pressure and humidity distribution of the compressed wet air in the gas storage.

[0124] Specifically, before solving the three-dimensional gas storage numerical model, the three-dimensional gas storage numerical model is meshed, wherein the fluid domain adopts a high-precision boundary layer mesh. In the three-dimensional gas storage numerical model, the complex gas storage structure can be decomposed into many small, computable units through meshing, so that numerical methods (such as finite element method, finite volume method, etc.) can be applied to these units to solve the physical processes such as gas flow, heat transfer, humidity change, etc. in the gas storage. The fluid domain adopts a high-precision boundary layer mesh, which can more accurately capture the drastic changes in physical quantities in the boundary layer. Compared with ordinary grids, it can more accurately describe the flow behavior of the fluid near the wall, such as the development of turbulence on the wall, the characteristics of heat conduction in the boundary layer, etc.

[0125] In step S4, an appropriate solver is selected based on the actual operation of the gas storage facility. In actual operation, the gas storage facility involves complex physical processes such as gas flow, heat transfer, and humidity changes. For the three-dimensional gas storage numerical model used in this invention, a solver capable of handling multi-physics coupling problems can be selected to simultaneously solve the interrelated equations for flow, heat transfer, and humidity diffusion. The solver performs numerical calculations on the three-dimensional gas storage numerical model based on previously set initial conditions, boundary conditions, and assigned material parameters.

[0126] The calculated results are post-processed to extract parameters related to the thermodynamic properties of the compressed moist air within the gas storage, such as temperature, pressure, and humidity, from the massive amount of calculated data. Data analysis reveals the distribution of these parameters within the gas storage space and how they change over time.

[0127] In this embodiment, the analysis results can be presented in intuitive visualizations, such as contour plots and cloud maps of temperature, pressure, and humidity. These visualizations clearly demonstrate the spatial variations of various parameters within the gas storage, helping researchers intuitively understand the thermodynamic properties of compressed humid air within the gas storage, and providing strong support for the design, operation, and optimization of the gas storage.
