The temperature sensor collects ambient temperature data. The pressure sensor collects system pressure data. The time acquisition card acquires time data and integrates ambient temperature, system pressure, and time data, performing signal conditioning, analog-to-digital conversion, and real-time transmission to the time-division multiplexing device. The time-division multiplexing device divides the system into day and night periods based on time data, switches the system's operating mode based on ambient temperature data, and determines whether the system pressure is stable within a safe range based on system pressure data. The system's operating modes include a daytime high-temperature mode, a nighttime low-temperature mode, and a standby mode.
[0076] The time-division device divides daytime and nighttime periods based on time data and a preset time-division function. The time-division function is:

[0080]
[0081] Among them, System Mode indicates the system's operating mode, Daytime Mode indicates the daytime high-temperature mode, Nighttime Mode indicates the nighttime low-temperature mode, Standby Mode indicates the standby mode, and T... env (t) represents the ambient temperature data collected in real time by the temperature sensor, T day threshold T represents the temperature threshold that triggers the daytime high temperature mode. night threshold This indicates the temperature threshold that triggers the nighttime low temperature mode.
[0082] The environmental perception and mode triggering module collects real-time pressure data from the system's gas storage tank and expander inlet pressure data via pressure sensors, and determines whether the system pressure is stable within a safe range using the following formula:

[0085] 2. Energy storage module
[0086] The centrifugal compressor compresses air to a supercritical state, providing a high-pressure gas foundation for energy storage, and employs multi-stage impellers for progressive pressurization; the formula for calculating the total pressure ratio of the centrifugal compressor is:

[0089] The interstage cooling system reduces compression power loss and improves heat storage efficiency by lowering the air temperature during compression. It employs a multi-stage cooler, with the coolant consisting of 50% ethanol and 50% water. The energy balance equation for the interstage cooling system is:

[0092] The heat between stages is introduced into the molten salt thermal storage tank through circulating pumps and valves, realizing the cascade utilization of thermal energy, reducing energy loss and improving nighttime cooling efficiency; at the same time, the circulating pumps and valves ensure the safe delivery and pressure regulation of the medium; the molten salt thermal storage tank uses nitrate as the medium to store compression heat or solar thermal energy.
[0093] During low daytime temperatures, the compressor speed is reduced to decrease the heat generated during compression, thus meeting the thermal management requirements of the low-temperature environment. The coolant flow rate is also adjusted via valves to reduce heat exchange power. Although energy storage is the primary function during the day, the multi-stage expander and waste heat recovery device of the energy storage module may passively intervene during low daytime temperatures to achieve thermal energy dispatch.

[0107] 4. Dynamic control and optimization module
[0108] The dynamic control and optimization module includes an LSTM+NSGA-II algorithm module, a security protection component, a digital twin platform, and a 5G communication module.
[0109] The LSTM+NSGA-II algorithm module serves as the decision-making center. The LSTM neural network predicts the changing trends of key system parameters using real-time data acquired by the environmental perception and pattern triggering modules. Based on this, the NSGA-II multi-objective optimization algorithm minimizes heat loss to find the optimal solution set for key system parameters such as compressor speed and valve opening.
[0110] The LSTM neural network mainly consists of a forget gate, an input gate, a memory gate, and an output gate. The forget gate selectively forgets the gas storage tank pressure data input from the previous node; the input gate inputs the current compressor outlet temperature data; the memory gate selectively remembers the molten salt thermal storage tank temperature data; and the output gate outputs the expander cooling valve opening command. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0111] in, , , , This describes the information update process for the forget gate, input gate, memory gate, and output gate. , , , Its corresponding weight matrix, , , , Its corresponding bias constant; This is a temporary state; It is the sigmoid activation function; It is the hyperbolic tangent function; This is the current compressor outlet temperature data; The gas tank pressure data input from the previous node; This is used to output the expansion tank cooling valve opening command. An LSTM neural network prediction model is employed to address energy loss caused by diurnal temperature variations.
[0112] The NSGA-II multi-objective optimization algorithm is used to solve multi-objective optimization problems, and its objective function includes:
[0113] 1) Minimize heat loss:
[0114]
[0115] in, Indicates heat loss, Represents the decision vector. This represents the system's heat loss power, where α, β, and γ are all heat loss weights. , , , Used for normalization.
[0116] 2) Ensure that power generation is not lower than the threshold. :
[0117]
[0118] in, It indicates the amount of electricity generated, while also taking into account the economic efficiency of the system.
[0119] like Figure 3 As shown, the specific implementation process of the NSGA-II multi-objective optimization algorithm is as follows:
[0120] Step 1: Population Initialization
[0121] Generation size is initial population Randomly initialize each individual And calculate its objective function value. and .
[0122] Step 2: Non-dominated sorting
[0123] Perform fast non-dominated sorting on the objective function values, individual Dominate The requirements are:
[0124]
[0125] The non-dominated layers are divided according to the dominance relationship, where F1 is the optimal Pareto front.
[0126] Step 3: Crowding Calculation
[0127] To maintain the diversity of the solution set, the crowding degree is calculated for each layer of individuals:
[0128]
[0129] in, Individual The level of congestion, and These are the maximum and minimum values of the k-th objective function in the current population.
[0130] Step Four: Elite Retention and Iteration
[0131] Merge parent and offspring populations, and select the optimal population based on non-dominance level and crowding. Individuals enter the next generation, repeating until convergence.
[0132] A major innovation of this system lies in its adoption of different operating strategies based on the diurnal temperature range. The objective focus of the NSGA-II multi-objective optimization algorithm should also change dynamically accordingly, rather than using fixed weights. Therefore, in this invention, the NSGA-II multi-objective optimization algorithm dynamically adjusts the heat loss weight α based on the time-sharing function H(t):
[0133]
[0134] Where, α day For daytime high temperature mode, α day =0.7, α night For nighttime low temperature mode, α night =0.3, used to strengthen the control of heat loss at different time periods.
[0135] This invention prioritizes equipment safety as a fundamental prerequisite for optimization. Traditional multi-objective optimization algorithms may focus solely on performance metrics while neglecting practical engineering limitations. Therefore, for temperature gradient constraints, thermal stress constraints are introduced to prevent equipment damage:
[0136]
[0137] Furthermore, the constraint dominance principle is adopted, and individuals that violate the thermal constraint are automatically downgraded.
[0138] There is a delay in the response of thermodynamic systems to control commands. By the time the algorithm calculates the optimal valve opening based on the current temperature and executes it, the temperature may have changed, causing the command to be no longer optimal when it actually takes effect, and it may even exacerbate system fluctuations.
[0139] Therefore, this invention integrates an LSTM prediction model to predict the system thermal state in advance for LSTM-assisted heat loss estimation:
[0140]
[0141] By incorporating the predicted values into the objective function calculation, we can overcome system inertia and achieve forward-looking optimization.
[0142] In the security protection components, hardware protection directly protects physical devices by setting voltage and current thresholds, while network protection defends against external attacks through firewall mechanisms, ensuring the security of data and control links.
[0143] The digital twin platform is used to provide a verification and optimization environment for control strategies. It simulates the operation of instructions generated by the LSTM+NSGA-II algorithm module in a virtual space to verify their effectiveness and security, and supports online correction and predictive maintenance of the strategy.
[0144] The 5G communication module provides a high-speed channel for data interaction. It is responsible for transmitting sensor data and device status to the cloud platform with low latency, and at the same time, it quickly sends control commands generated by the optimization algorithm to each actuator to achieve real-time monitoring.
[0145] The compressed air energy storage system based on efficient ambient temperature time-sharing regulation optimization provided in this embodiment has the following working process: Figure 4 As shown. During its operation, the compressor temperature monitoring results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the system heat loss is compared to, for example Figure 6 As shown, energy recovery performance is compared to, for example Figure 7 As shown, the algorithm predicts the optimization results as follows: Figure 8 As shown.
[0146] This invention optimizes the compressed air energy storage system by adjusting the ambient temperature over time and combining it with the LSTM+NSGA-II intelligent algorithm, achieving a comprehensive improvement in energy efficiency, reliability, and adaptability. This invention effectively reduces energy loss, optimizes thermal management, and expands system functionality through module collaboration, providing an efficient and intelligent energy storage solution for grids with a high proportion of renewable energy.
