Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of underground space engineering and large-scale energy storage technology, specifically a test device and method for compressed gas energy storage cavern under variable surrounding rock and extreme loads. Background Technology
[0002] Compressed air energy storage underground caverns typically employ a composite structure consisting of surrounding rock, concrete lining, and a sealing layer to withstand the internal high-pressure gas load and achieve gas storage sealing. During operation, these structures are subject to not only gas pressure but also temperature variations and cyclic loads, making their stress, deformation, and interface force transmission issues quite complex.
[0003] Existing experimental studies on underground caverns for compressed air energy storage mostly employ indoor scaled-down models, homogeneous surrounding rock assumptions, or single structural forms, making it difficult to realistically simulate the structural response under complex changing surrounding rock conditions such as the interface between soft and hard rocks and abrupt changes in surrounding rock stiffness. Furthermore, in some existing experimental setups, pressure loading and temperature loading are difficult to control separately, hindering experimental research under combined high-pressure and temperature-changing conditions.
[0004] In addition, the loading capacity of existing test devices is usually limited, making it difficult to meet the test requirements under higher pressure levels. Furthermore, existing studies mostly use indoor small-scale models or numerical analysis methods, and the test scale differs significantly from actual underground engineering conditions. This can easily lead to deviations between boundary conditions, structural response, and long-term cyclic characteristics and actual conditions, thus affecting the applicability of test results to actual engineering projects.
[0005] Furthermore, existing technologies lack experimental devices that consider both structural design and multi-field monitoring, particularly for localized slippage at locations of abrupt changes in surrounding rock stiffness, interfacial stress concentration, and the collaborative working relationship between the surrounding rock, lining, and sealing layer. This hinders systematic research on the structural response of compressed gas storage caverns under complex operating conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an experimental device and method for compressed gas storage caverns under varying surrounding rock conditions and extreme loads. Summary of the Invention

It should be noted that the first reinforcement segment 121 is a high-reinforcement segment, the second reinforcement segment 122 is a medium-high reinforcement segment, the third reinforcement segment 123 is a medium reinforcement segment, and the fourth reinforcement segment 124 is a low-reinforcement segment. The degree of reinforcement of the reinforcement segment is negatively correlated with the elastic modulus of the rock segment, and each reinforcement segment spans two different rock segments. Similarly, two different reinforcement segments are set under each rock segment.
[0030] The multi-gradient reinforced concrete lining layer 120 is internally reinforced with longitudinal steel bars 1211 and circumferential steel bars 1212.
[0031] Preferably, the reinforcement ratio of each reinforcement section varies in a stepwise manner along the axial direction, and the magnitude of the reinforcement ratio is negatively correlated with the elastic modulus of the surrounding rock simulation layer in the corresponding area.
[0032] Furthermore, the shear-resistant transition zone 140 is set at the junction section where the stiffness changes abruptly between adjacent surrounding rock sections; the shear-resistant transition zone 140 includes a locally thickened shear-resistant steel lining section 131, and shear-resistant steel reinforcement 1213 embedded in the multi-grade gradient reinforced concrete lining layer 120.
[0033] Preferably, the thickness of the shear-resistant steel lining section is 2 to 3 times the thickness of the other conventional steel lining sections, and the connection between the shear-resistant steel lining section and the conventional steel lining section adopts a tapered gradual chamfer to achieve a smooth transition; the shear-resistant steel bars 1213 in the shear-resistant transition zone are densely distributed along the circumference and cross the stiffness change boundary section in the axial direction.
[0034] Furthermore, the high-pressure gas loading module includes a primary compressor 211, a gas pressure stabilizing device 212, and a secondary compressor 213 connected in sequence, and is connected to the internal cavity of the steel lining through an inflation pipe 214 and an venting pipe 215 that penetrate the wedge-shaped pressure-bearing plug system 300.

[0039] Preferably, the signal input lines 420 of each sensor are led out to the external signal acquisition instrument 410 through the stepped high-pressure sealed wire hole reserved in the wedge-shaped pressure-bearing plug system 300.
[0040] The rebar gauge 432 is connected in series with the circumferential rebar 1212 for monitoring purposes. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0041] This embodiment utilizes an in-situ underground tunnel, such as an abandoned mine renovation project, to construct a large-scale test device for compressed air energy storage caverns under complex variations in surrounding rock and extreme load conditions. The total axial length of the device is set at 30 meters, and the diameter of the rough tunnel excavation is 7 meters.
[0042] 1. Refined spatial construction of variable stiffness surrounding rock and gradient lining In the construction of the cavern structure system 100, to simulate the spatial variability of deep rock masses, the test cavern was divided into three 10-meter-long sections along a 30-meter axis to reconstruct a multi-level variable stiffness surrounding rock simulation layer: 0-10m section: The original tunnel wall was widened by about 2 meters and backfilled with a low modulus similar material with an elastic modulus of 8GPa to form soft rock section 111.
[0043] Section 10-20m: The natural boundary of the tunnel is preserved. According to the survey, its elastic modulus is about 13GPa, forming the original rock section 112.
[0044] Section 20-30m: Excavation and backfilling were carried out, and a high-modulus similar material with an elastic modulus of 20GPa was poured to form hard rock section 113.
[0045] A multi-stage gradient reinforced concrete lining layer 120, with a radial thickness of 0.5 meters, was poured in sections adjacent to the inner wall of the simulated surrounding rock layer. The lining is internally reinforced with longitudinal steel bars 1211 and circumferential steel bars 1212, forming a framework. Based on the differences in the self-bearing capacity of the three types of surrounding rock, inverse proportional gradient reinforcement was implemented. Within the soft rock section 111, a first reinforced section 121 with a reinforcement ratio of 3.0% and a second reinforced section 122 with a reinforcement ratio of 2.5% are each 5 meters long. Within the original rock section 112, a third reinforcement section 123 with reinforcement ratios of 2.5% and 2.0% is sequentially installed; Within the hard rock section 113, a fourth reinforcement section 124 with reinforcement ratios of 2.0% and 1.5% is provided.
[0046] Subsequently, a 10mm thick steel lining sealing layer 130 is fully laid and welded inside the multi-gradient reinforced concrete lining layer 120 to achieve absolute impermeability of high-pressure gas.
[0047] 2. Special design of the anti-shear transition zone structure Addressing the engineering challenge of uneven settlement and shear failure easily triggered by abrupt changes in surrounding rock stiffness at 10m and 20m, this embodiment innovatively incorporates a double-layered shear-resistant transition zone 140: Inside the outer concrete, dense shear-resistant transition zone steel bars 1213 are cross-tied at the interface to cross the soft and hard interface and tie the lining; in the inner steel lining, the thickness of the local steel lining at the interface is smoothly and gradually increased to 2 to 3 times that of the conventional section, and the connection between the thickened steel lining and the conventional steel lining adopts a tapered bevel gradually chamfered to resist local shear deformation and eliminate stress concentration under alternating loads.
[0048] 3.30MPa extreme load decoupling loading and through-wall sealing The extreme load loading system achieves complete decoupling of the thermo-mechanical boundary.
[0049] The high-pressure gas loading module adopts a stepped pressurization method. The external gas is initially pressurized by the first-stage compressor 211, buffered by the gas pressure stabilizing device 212, and then pressurized to the maximum ultimate pressure of 30MPa by the second-stage compressor 213. The high-pressure gas is injected into the gas chamber through the gas filling pipe 214 that runs through the wedge-shaped pressure-bearing plug system 300, and achieves rapid alternating pressure relief through the gas release pipe 215.
[0050] Meanwhile, the temperature control unit 221 of the independent temperature control module pumps cold and hot fluid into the cold and hot fluid circulation coil 223, which is densely distributed around the steel lining sealing layer 130, through the cold and hot fluid injection / output pipeline 222, and independently applies extreme cold and hot temperature shocks under a constant 30MPa air pressure.
[0051] The wedge-shaped pressure-bearing plug system 300 cast at the opening utilizes its tapered structure that expands from the inside out to generate a structural self-locking effect to resist the huge axial thrust generated by 30MPa.
[0052] 4. Targeted multi-field coupled three-dimensional multi-dimensional monitoring network To accurately reveal the collaborative bearing and load sharing mechanism of different stiffness boundaries under ultra-high pressure, a multi-field coupled monitoring system has established a cross-scale measured data chain based on specific spatial topological logic: In this embodiment, along the tunnel axis, six main monitoring sections are set at the axial center of each of the six 5-meter-long sections with different reinforcement ratios. Each monitoring sensor group is arrayed based on these six main monitoring sections. Fluid boundary capture: Thermometer 434, barometer 435, and hygrometer 436 are suspended inside the air chambers corresponding to each monitoring section to capture transient fluid boundaries within the chambers; Interlayer decoupling stress capture: At each main monitoring section, pressure cell sensors 433 are embedded in an array at equal intervals along the circumference at the steel lining-lining interface and the lining-surrounding rock interface to accurately capture the total stress of interlayer thrust and thermal decoupling. Structural resistance and damage capture: Reinforcing bars 432 were arranged in series on the circumferential reinforcing bars 1212 of each main monitoring section to obtain the differences in tensile yield evolution paths of six different gradient linings; and a three-dimensional array of acoustic emission sensors 431 was pre-embedded inside the lining to locate microcrack propagation. Deep attenuation capture: At each monitoring section, multiple displacement gauges 437 are installed radially into the deep part of the surrounding rock to monitor the nonlinear spatial attenuation of the extreme pressure of 30MPa in three types of variable stiffness surrounding rock.
[0053] All the above signal input lines 420 are connected into a bus bundle after being shielded and armored by high voltage. The bundle is led out to the external signal acquisition instrument 410 through the stepped high-voltage sealed wire hole reserved in the wedge-shaped pressure-bearing plug system 300.
[0054] This invention provides a 30MPa-level stepped high-pressure loading and independent temperature control system, filling the gap in the device for forward-looking in-situ verification of future ultra-high pressure LRC gas storage facilities; it constructs a composite structure of variable stiffness surrounding rock and gradient reinforcement, and innovatively sets a shear-resistant transition zone composed of thickened steel lining and cross-interface shear-resistant steel bars in the abrupt change zone, which significantly improves the engineering reliability of the device under extreme displacement, and provides a structural foundation for subsequent experimental revelation of the core load sharing mechanism.
[0055] Furthermore, based on this, high-fidelity in-situ tests and multi-dimensional monitoring networks were used to accurately obtain macroscopic and microscopic response data of the structure, and to thoroughly investigate the coordinated deformation law and load sharing mechanism of "surrounding rock-lining-sealing layer" under ultra-high pressure alternating working conditions.
[0056] Specifically, the present invention also provides a method for conducting extreme load tests on compressed air energy storage caverns using the above-mentioned test apparatus, further comprising the following steps: S1. Segmented backfilling for reconstructed surrounding rock with variable stiffness; S2. Gradient lining construction, sealing layer and shear-resistant transition zone construction, and simultaneous implantation of sensor network; S3. Wedge-shaped pressure-bearing plug is cast, and the pipeline passes through the high-pressure sealing lead; S4.30MPa level high and low pressure and independent decoupled combination loading of hot and cold fluids; S5. Acquisition of multi-source heterogeneous entity data.
[0057] The collected data were imported into a numerical model for digital twin inversion analysis of the coordinated deformation law and load sharing mechanism of the surrounding rock-lining-sealing layer.
[0058] Furthermore, the digital twin inversion analysis includes: a) Establish a three-layer composite numerical model of surrounding rock-lining-sealing layer based on the actual structure of the test device; b) Import the pressure, displacement, strain, temperature and acoustic emission data of each monitoring section into the numerical model according to the loading sequence; c) Correct the segmented mechanical parameters of the surrounding rock, the force transmission parameters of the interlayer interface, and the lining damage parameters by iterative inversion; d) When the error between the measured value and the calculated value meets the preset threshold, output the deformation coordination relationship of each layer of the structure, the interface load transfer path and the sharing ratio; e) Identify the main control response mechanisms of the soft-hard rock interface zone, shear-resistant transition zone, and different gradient reinforcement sections based on the multi-condition inversion results.
[0059] In the invention method, a cavern is excavated from the original rock mass, and on this basis, a cavity adapted to the hard rock section and the soft rock section is excavated, and rock material is backfilled to make it present a layered structure with different elastic moduli, forming a variable stiffness surrounding rock cavern. During this process, a pressure box sensor 433 is simultaneously implanted.
[0060] Subsequently, a multi-grade gradient reinforced concrete lining layer 120 was laid inside the tunnel, and steel bars 432 were inserted. Shear-resistant steel lining sections 131 were added at the connection of different reinforcement layers. A thermometer 434, a barometer 435, and a hygrometer 436 were installed inside the tunnel. A multi-point displacement meter 437 was installed by making radial openings in the side wall of the tunnel.
[0061] Finally, a wedge-shaped pressure-bearing plug is poured at the opening of the cavern, and a slot is reserved for pipes and leads to pass through, and then the corresponding pipes and leads are configured.
[0062] After the structure was laid, it was tested by independent decoupled combination loading of high and low pressure and hot and cold fluids at 30MPa level. The sensors collected data, which was then analyzed by the system.
[0063] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any practical implementation, such as in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine work of design, manufacturing, and production without requiring much experimentation.
[0064] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
