Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of new energy power stations, and more specifically, to a system and control method for a compressed air energy storage coupled synchronous condenser. Background Technology
[0002] The current power system faces severe challenges due to the high proportion of renewable energy integration, including low system rotational inertia and weak rapid frequency regulation and voltage support capabilities. The "GB 38755-2019 Guidelines for the Safety and Stability of Power Systems" explicitly requires power sources to possess primary frequency regulation and rapid voltage regulation capabilities. The "GB / T 40595-2021 Technical Specifications and Test Guidelines for Primary Frequency Regulation of Grid-Connected Power Sources" further requires all grid-connected entities, including energy storage power stations, to possess rapid and effective primary frequency regulation functions. However, the electrochemical energy storage solutions commonly configured in current renewable energy power plants primarily achieve power charging and discharging regulation. While they can provide frequency response, they cannot offer the real rotational inertia necessary for supporting system transient stability, and they struggle to quickly switch to generation mode during grid faults, failing to meet the stringent requirements of the aforementioned national standards for response speed and support strength.
[0003] Currently, primary frequency regulation in the power system still relies mainly on traditional thermal and hydropower units, and their dynamic response characteristics still present a structural contradiction with the demand of a high proportion of renewable energy grids. Although new energy storage devices such as lithium batteries and supercapacitors have been attempted for frequency regulation assistance, their limited cycle life and performance degradation under high-frequency operation make it difficult to meet the grid's rigid requirements for the frequency and duration of primary frequency regulation operations. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing power systems in meeting the rigid requirements of the power grid for primary frequency regulation, and to provide a system and control method for compressed air energy storage coupled synchronous condensers, which can support the stable operation of the power grid, improve the anti-disturbance capability, and enable new energy power plants to actively support the power grid.

[0031] Example 3 This embodiment is an example of a control method of the present invention, applied to the system described in Embodiment 1 or 2. The control method includes the following control process: When there is no primary frequency regulation requirement of the power grid, the central control subsystem 800 controls the first regulating valve 710 to close, the dual-condition synchronous condenser 110 is in grid-connected state and supplies reactive power to the power grid, the dual-condition synchronous condenser 110 provides power to drive the turbine subsystem 200 to be in an idling state, and at the same time, the phase modulation status signal sensor D inputs the detected signal to the central control subsystem 800; In this embodiment, the dual-condition synchronous condenser 110 switches to electric phase modulation mode, and the dual-condition synchronous condenser 110 drives the first-stage turbine 210, the second-stage turbine 220, and the third-stage turbine 230 to be in an idling state, continuously providing rotational inertia to the power grid; and the central control subsystem 800 controls the shut-off valve 261 to open, and the turbine subsystem 200 is in a negative pressure state; When the power grid needs frequency regulation or when the power grid is in a state of large-scale power outage, the central control subsystem 800 controls the first regulating valve 710 to open, and the high-pressure gas stored in the gas storage tank 700 is input into the turbine subsystem 200 to expand and do work. The turbine subsystem 200 provides power to drive the dual-condition synchronous condenser 110 to work in the power generation state. In this embodiment, the dual-condition synchronous condenser 110 is switched to the power generation and phase regulation state by the power provided by the first-stage turbine 210, the second-stage turbine 220, and the third-stage turbine 230.
[0032] Specifically, when there is no primary frequency regulation requirement in the power grid, the central control subsystem 800 controls the first regulating valve 710 to close, the dual-condition synchronous condenser 110 is in grid-connected state and supplies reactive power to the power grid. The central control subsystem 800 controls the dual-condition synchronous condenser 110 to maintain a certain speed through the excitation current regulator 120, and the dual-condition synchronous condenser 110 drives the first-stage turbine 210, the second-stage turbine 220, and the third-stage turbine 230 to idle and maintain a certain speed through the drive shaft; the central control subsystem 800 controls the first-stage turbine 210, the second-stage turbine 220, and the third-stage turbine 230 to idle and maintain a certain speed. System 800 controls the dual-condition synchronous condenser 110 to maintain a speed of 3000 rpm through excitation current regulator 120, so that the first-stage turbine 210, second-stage turbine 220, and third-stage turbine 230 also maintain a speed of 3000 rpm and are in a rotating standby state; and the central control subsystem 800 controls the shut-off valve 261 to open, and maintains the negative pressure state in the first-stage turbine 210, second-stage turbine 220, and third-stage turbine 230 through vacuum pump 260, so as to solve the problem of overheating of the turbines during idling. It should be further explained that when there is no primary frequency regulation demand from the power grid, the dual-condition synchronous condenser 110 switches from the generator phase regulation mode to the electric phase regulation mode in just 2 seconds. At this time, the first regulating valve 710 is gradually closed, and the dual-condition synchronous condenser 110 is controlled to reduce the generator power to 0MW. The dual-condition synchronous condenser 110 is still in grid-connected state and supplies reactive power to the power grid. The first-stage turbine 210, the second-stage turbine 220, and the third-stage turbine 230 are driven by the dual-condition synchronous condenser 110, so that the first-stage turbine 210, the second-stage turbine 220, and the third-stage turbine 230 all maintain an idle speed of 3000rpm, that is, they are in a rotating standby state, continuously providing rotational inertia to the power grid, which can facilitate a rapid response to the primary frequency regulation demand of the power grid in the next operation. The synchronous condenser status signal sensor D monitors the dual-condition synchronous condenser 110 and transmits the detected signal to the central control subsystem.
[0033] Specifically, when frequency regulation is required or when the power grid is in a state of widespread power outage, the central control subsystem 800 controls the first regulating valve 710 to open. The high-pressure gas stored in the gas storage tank 700 is sent to the first-stage turbine 210, the second-stage turbine 220, and the third-stage turbine 230 after passing through the heating unit 400 to expand and do work. Each stage of the turbine converts the pressure potential energy of the compressed air into mechanical energy, so as to drive the dual-condition synchronous condenser 110 to switch to the power generation phase modulation condition to generate electricity. In this embodiment, when frequency regulation is required or the power grid experiences a large-scale power outage, the gas storage tank 700 releases high-pressure air. This high-pressure air passes through the gas pipeline of the primary heater 410 to drive the primary turbine 210. Then, the air passes through the gas pipeline of the secondary heater 420 to drive the secondary turbine 220. Next, the air passes through the gas pipeline of the tertiary heater 430 to drive the tertiary turbine 230. The tertiary turbine 230 converts the pressure potential energy of the compressed air into mechanical energy, causing it to rotate to 3000 rpm. This drives the dual-condition synchronous condenser 110 to switch to the power generation and phase modulation mode for power generation. This switching process takes only 2 seconds. After the power is applied by each turbine, the air is discharged into the atmosphere through the venting silencer 240. It should be noted that the scope of a large-scale power outage can be defined according to the existing State Grid large-scale power outage event classification standards.
[0034] In this embodiment, when the power demand of the power grid is at a low point or during periods of wind curtailment, excess electrical energy is converted into high-pressure air through the primary compressor 310, secondary compressor 320, and tertiary compressor 330. The high-pressure air is cooled through the air pipelines of the primary cooler 510, secondary cooler 520, and tertiary cooler 530, and then transported to the air storage tank 700 for storage. At the same time, the water pipelines of the primary cooler 510, secondary cooler 520, and tertiary cooler 530 absorb the heat released by each compressor during the compression process, and then transport it to the heat storage tank 610 to achieve heat storage.
[0035] In this embodiment, the central control subsystem 800 is existing technology. The AVC response adjustment module and AGC response adjustment module in the central control subsystem 800 can be used to adjust the grid frequency and voltage, respectively, to perform active power frequency regulation or reactive power voltage regulation tasks. During daily operation, the central control subsystem 800 receives AVC commands from the grid and / or adjusts the overall system's operating conditions and modes after receiving AVC commands, while maintaining the operating parameters of each subsystem within a safe, reliable, and reasonable range. Specifically: The central control subsystem 800 can monitor the data from pressure sensors P1, P2, and P3 and regulate each stage of the turbine to keep the outlet pressure of each stage of the turbine within a reasonable range. At the same time, the central control subsystem 800 can monitor the vibration amplitude of each stage of the turbine and the bearing through vibration sensors W1, W2, and W3. In this embodiment, the central control subsystem 800 can monitor the data from pressure sensors P10, P11, and P12 and regulate the compressors at each stage to keep the outlet pressure of each compressor within a reasonable range. At the same time, the central control subsystem 800 can monitor the gear amplitude of each compressor through vibration sensors W4, W5, and W6, and can also monitor the speed of each compressor through speed sensors N4, N5, and N6. In this embodiment, the central control subsystem 800 can monitor the rotational speeds of the first water pump 630 and the second water pump 640 through speed sensors N2 and N3, and adjust the rotational speeds of the first water pump 630 and the second water pump 640 to ensure that the pressure and temperature of the heat storage tank 610 are within a reasonable range. At the same time, the flow sensors corresponding to each stage of the cooler can monitor the flow rate of the circulating water entering each stage of the cooler, and the central control subsystem 800 can regulate the hot and cold circulation subsystem according to the monitoring information to keep the flow rate of the circulating water within a reasonable range. In this embodiment, the central control subsystem 800 can regulate the motors of the compressors at each stage in the compression subsystem 300 and the first regulating valve 710 to ensure that the internal pressure of the gas storage tank 700 does not exceed the maximum set value.
[0036] In this embodiment, when the turbine subsystem 200 outputs low energy, temperature sensors T1, T2, and T3 monitor the gas temperature at the outlet of the gas pipeline at each heater, and temperature sensors T4, T5, and T6 monitor the circulating water temperature at the outlet of the water pipeline at each heater. These temperature sensors are fed back to the central control subsystem 800 via control lines, thereby adjusting the power of the first water pump 630 and the second water pump 640. The frequency converter is adjusted to increase the power of the first water pump 630 and the second water pump 640 to ensure that the low-temperature gas at the turbine outlet can normally absorb the energy stored in the hot circulating water and reach normal temperature. Simultaneously, flow sensors F2, F3, and F4 monitor the circulating water flow rate and feed it back to the central control subsystem 800 via control lines, thereby adjusting each third regulating valve 440 to increase the valve opening and increase the circulating water flow rate, maintaining normal system operation. In this embodiment, when the input energy of the compression subsystem 300 is high, temperature sensors T12, T13, and T14 will monitor the gas temperature at the outlet of each cooler gas pipeline, and temperature sensors T11, T10, and T9 will monitor the circulating water temperature at the outlet of each cooler water pipeline. These temperature sensors will then feed back to the central control subsystem 800 via control lines, thereby adjusting the power of the first water pump 630 and the second water pump 640. The frequency converter will be adjusted to increase the power of the first water pump 630 and the second water pump 640 to ensure that the circulating water can normally absorb and store the excess energy of the high-temperature gas at the outlet of each compressor. Simultaneously, flow sensors F8, F7, and F6 at each cooler will monitor the circulating water flow rate and feed it back to the central control subsystem 800 via control lines, thereby adjusting each second regulating valve 560 to increase the valve opening and increase the circulating water flow rate, maintaining normal system operation. Specifically, the central control subsystem 800 can adjust the grid frequency and perform active frequency regulation through the AGC response adjustment module: when the grid frequency decreases, the air intake of the turbine subsystem 200 needs to be increased, that is, the opening of the first regulating valve 710 at the gas storage 700 is adjusted to increase the air output, and at the same time the frequency converter of the first water pump 630 and the opening of each third regulating valve 440 are adjusted to increase the circulating water flow to maintain stable system operation.
[0037] The central control subsystem 800 can regulate the grid voltage and perform reactive power regulation through the AVC response adjustment module: When the grid voltage deviates from the normal operating condition, based on the parameters transmitted to the central control subsystem 800 by the grid connection point parameter sensor E, the central control subsystem 800 transmits the signal to the excitation current regulator 120 through the control circuit to adjust the excitation current, thereby changing the reactive power output of the dual-condition synchronous condenser 110, thus regulating the grid voltage. At the same time, the synchronous condenser status signal sensor D also reflects the operating parameters of the dual-condition synchronous condenser 110 in real time. The data is fed to the central control subsystem 800 to monitor the operating conditions of the dual-condition synchronous condenser 110. Specifically, the grid connection point parameter sensor E monitors the three-phase voltage, three-phase current, grid frequency, reactive power, active power, power factor, etc., and feeds the results back to the central control subsystem 800 through the control line. After acquiring the real-time monitoring data from the grid connection point parameter sensor E, the central control subsystem 800 adjusts the grid frequency and voltage through the built-in AGC response module or AVC response module to perform active frequency regulation or reactive voltage regulation tasks.
[0038] In this embodiment, in order to meet the primary frequency regulation requirements of the power grid: The pressure sensor P1 monitors the inlet pressure of the first-stage turbine 210, which is also the inlet pressure of the turbine subsystem 200, and feeds it back to the central control subsystem 800. The central control subsystem 800 then controls each turbine to keep the inlet pressure between 2.96 and 5.96 MPa. Specifically, when the pressure sensor P1 detects a pressure greater than or equal to 4.46 MPa, the turbine subsystem 200 operates in throttling mode; when the pressure sensor P1 detects a pressure less than 4.46 MPa, the turbine subsystem 200 operates in supplementary gas mode. The pressure at the outlet of the three-stage compressor 330 is monitored by pressure sensor P12, which is the outlet pressure of the compression subsystem 300. The pressure is then fed back to the central control subsystem 800, which controls each compressor to keep the outlet pressure between 3.04 and 6.04 MPa. The pressure of the gas storage tank 700 is monitored by the pressure sensor P8 and fed back to the central control subsystem 800. The central control subsystem 800 then controls the opening and closing of the first regulating valve 710 and the check valve 720 to keep the pressure of the gas storage tank 700 between 3 and 6 MPa. The pressure and temperature of the thermal storage tank 610 are monitored by pressure sensor P6 and temperature sensor T7 respectively, and the feedback is sent to the central control subsystem 800. Then, the central control subsystem 800 controls the frequency converter and motor at the first water pump 630 to maintain the pressure of the thermal storage tank 610 at 2 MPa, the saturation temperature at 212℃, and the thermal storage temperature at 196℃.
