TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of compressed carbon dioxide energy storage, in particular to an electrical wiring structure suitable for large-capacity compressed carbon dioxide energy storage power station. BACKGROUND
[0002] New energy storage technology is an important measure to solve the safe and stable operation of high-proportion renewable energy power grids and is also an indispensable means of power transfer. Compressed carbon dioxide energy storage is a new large-scale physical energy storage technology that realizes electric energy storage and release through compressed / expanding CO2. It compresses carbon dioxide at night during the low valley voltage of the power grid to store it in liquid form in a liquid tank. During the daytime peak electricity consumption period, high-pressure carbon dioxide is released from the liquid tank to be delivered to a carbon dioxide turbine to generate power, and the expanded carbon dioxide at normal pressure is stored in a gas tank. Compressed CO2 energy storage power stations have advantages such as high energy density, long service life, and environmental friendliness, and are mainly used in power grid peak shaving and renewable energy consumption fields. However, the existing electrical wiring structure has problems such as complex structure, low efficiency, and insufficient reliability, making it difficult to meet the high-power and wide-load variation requirements of the CO2 energy storage system.
[0003] Therefore, the present application provides an efficient, reliable, and large-capacity compressed carbon dioxide energy storage power station electrical wiring structure that optimizes electric energy conversion efficiency and improves system reliability and economy. SUMMARY
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a carbon dioxide energy storage power station system that is suitable for large-capacity compressed carbon dioxide energy storage power stations and has multi-level, modular structure and high efficiency and reliability.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present application is as follows: A carbon dioxide energy storage power station system includes a high-voltage power distribution device, an energy release main transformer, an energy storage transformer, an energy release generator, a circuit breaker, an energy storage system mainly including a compressor, and an energy release system mainly composed of an energy release generator and an energy release main transformer. The energy release main transformer and the energy storage transformer are respectively connected in parallel with the high-voltage power distribution device. The compressor includes a low-pressure compressor and a high-pressure compressor. The low-pressure compressor is connected to one outgoing winding of the energy storage transformer through a low-pressure compressor outlet circuit breaker, and the high-pressure compressor is connected to another outgoing winding of the energy storage transformer through a high-pressure compressor outlet circuit breaker. The compressor uses a variable frequency starting device.
[0006] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present application is that the low-pressure compressor and the high-pressure compressor are started by the same set of variable frequency starting devices, and the variable frequency starting device is connected in parallel with the high-pressure compressor and the high-pressure compressor outlet circuit breaker through a variable frequency starting device outlet circuit breaker.
[0007] Further improvement of the technical scheme of the present application is that the high-voltage compressor and the outlet circuit breaker of the variable frequency starting device are further connected between an outlet winding of the energy storage transformer and the outlet circuit breaker of the high-voltage compressor and the variable frequency starting device.
[0008] Further improvement of the technical scheme of the present application is that at least two sets of energy storage systems are provided, and the energy storage transformers of each set of energy storage systems are connected in parallel on the high-voltage power distribution device.
[0009] Further improvement of the technical scheme of the present application is that the energy storage transformers of each energy storage system are further connected to the outlet winding of the high-voltage compressor and are respectively connected in parallel with a current limiting reactor, and the current limiting reactors of each energy storage system are further connected through a respective auxiliary branch circuit breaker and an energy storage system auxiliary bus tie switch.
[0010] Further improvement of the technical scheme of the present application is that the variable frequency starting device of each energy storage system is separately provided in a different room from other equipment of the energy storage system.
[0011] Due to the adoption of the above technical scheme, the present application has achieved the following technical progress: 1. Efficient decoupling of energy storage and energy release conditions, improving system flexibility. The present application uses special transformers (energy storage transformers and energy release main transformers) to realize the decoupling of compression energy storage and expansion energy release, avoiding the risk of short circuit or reverse power supply during mode switching, ensuring the stability of the electrical system during mode switching, and improving the safety of the system.
[0012] The present application uses high-voltage power distribution devices as a unified interface, simplifies the grid connection process, supports fast switching, adapts to grid peak shaving demand, and improves the response speed of the power station.
[0013] In the energy storage mode, the energy storage transformer directly supplies power to the compressor and auxiliary equipment, without the need for the energy release main transformer to operate, thereby reducing the loss. In the energy release mode, the energy release generator is directly boosted to the grid voltage through the energy release main transformer, avoiding multi-stage switching of auxiliary power, and achieving higher efficiency.
[0014] 2. Modular wiring scheme, improving scalability and reliability The energy storage transformer independently configured for each set of energy storage system is a load regulating step-down transformer, the high-voltage compressor, the low-voltage compressor, and the auxiliary power are connected by independent busbars and controlled by independent circuit breakers, realizing physical isolation and improving system reliability and independence. The independent busbars used in the present application can supply power in segments and start the high-voltage / low-voltage compressor in stages, avoiding large current surges when starting simultaneously. Each bus segment is provided with independent relay protection devices (such as differential protection and overcurrent protection), and fault location and removal are faster.
[0015] The high-pressure compressor and the low-pressure compressor are divided into different busbars, and can be flexibly switched according to the working condition. When one compression line is shut down for maintenance, the other lines can still work normally, thereby guaranteeing the overall availability of the power station.
[0016] The modular unit is formed, so that the construction or capacity expansion can be realized in stages. By increasing the compressor module and the corresponding busbar section, the GW-level capacity can be flexibly expanded, and the electrical structure does not need to be significantly changed.
[0017] The sections of the auxiliary bus are interconnected and redundant, and each two auxiliary busbars of the energy storage system are used as backup for each other, so that the power supply reliability is improved.
[0018] 3. Accurate control of short-circuit current, reduction of equipment cost and enhancement of safety The current limiting reactor is additionally arranged in front of the auxiliary bus, so that the short-circuit current is limited within 40 kA, the bus voltage drop is less than or equal to 5%, the short-circuit capacity requirement of the switch device is reduced, and the cost is saved.
[0019] 4. Overall optimization of the system, and remarkable comprehensive benefits The current limiting measure and the redundant power supply are adopted in the application, so that the system reliability is improved while the cost is reduced. The application reduces the coupling of the energy storage / energy release working conditions, reduces the operation complexity, and improves the safety. The modular design is adopted, so that the maintenance and capacity expansion are facilitated, and the application is suitable for the hundreds of megawatt-level and above large energy storage power stations. The application is particularly suitable for the hundreds of megawatt-level compressed carbon dioxide energy storage power stations, can significantly improve the economy, the reliability and the grid adaptability, and helps the construction of new power systems.
