Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of air energy storage expander technology, specifically relating to a low-pressure cylinder blade of an air energy storage expander. Background Technology
[0002] Energy storage technology is urgently needed to address the large-scale integration of renewable energy and improve the efficiency, security, and economy of conventional power systems and regional energy systems; it is considered a supporting technology for the energy revolution. Compressed air energy storage systems have advantages such as large scale, high efficiency, low cost, and environmental friendliness, and are considered one of the most promising large-scale energy storage technologies. They mainly consist of a compressor, expander, thermal storage system, and air storage chamber, such as... Figure 1 As shown, during energy storage, the system compresses air to a high temperature and pressure using a compressor, then stores the heat of compression using a thermal storage system, cooling the air and storing it in a tank. During energy release, the high-pressure air is released, and the stored heat of compression is used to heat the air, which then drives an expander to generate electricity. The expander, as one of the core components of the compressed air energy storage system, directly affects the performance and stability of the entire system due to its efficiency and reliability.
[0003] The 300MW air storage turbine consists of three cylinders: a high-pressure cylinder, a medium-pressure cylinder, and a low-pressure cylinder. Among them, the low-pressure cylinder has a large volumetric flow rate and high blade velocity, and transonic flow occurs in local areas of the blades. Currently, the low-pressure cylinder has the disadvantages of low aerodynamic efficiency and large shock wave loss, resulting in low expander efficiency. Summary of the Invention
