[0017] The salt cavern sediment void energy storage simulation experimental device comprises two sets of normal pressure experimental containers 1, a pressure-resistant experimental container 21, a gas storage bottle 22, a water storage tank 12 and a gas-liquid separator 5 (see the attached manual). Figure 1 ).
[0018] The two groups of normal pressure test containers 1 are connected to each other through a connecting short circuit 2; a pressure test container 21 (see the attached manual) is provided on one side of the two groups of normal pressure test containers 1. Figure 1 During operation, the salt cave sediment can be placed in the normal pressure test container 1 and the pressure test container 21 as required.
[0019] A pore pressure sensor (not shown in the drawings of the specification) is installed on both the normal pressure test container 1 and the pressure test container 21. During operation, the pressure in the normal pressure test container 1 and the pressure test container 21 can be monitored by the pore pressure sensor.
[0020] The gas storage cylinder 22 is connected to the gas-liquid separator 5 through the flow controller A3 and the gas injection valve A4; one end of the gas-liquid separator 5 is connected to the upper ends of the atmospheric pressure test container 1 and the pressure test container 21 through the switch valve 6 connected in parallel (see the attached manual). Figure 1 During operation, the gas medium in the gas storage bottle 22 enters the normal pressure test container 1 or the pressure test container 21 through the corresponding switch valve 6 at a constant flow rate through the gas-liquid separator 5 under the action of the flow controller A3 and the gas injection valve A4.
[0021] The two ends of the flow controller A3 and the gas injection valve A4 are connected in parallel with a pressure reducing valve 13 and a gas injection valve B14 (see the appendix of the manual). Figure 1 During operation, the gas medium in the gas storage bottle 22 enters the normal pressure test container 1 or the pressure test container 21 through the corresponding switch valve 6 after passing through the gas-liquid separator 5 at a constant pressure under the action of the pressure reducing valve 13 and the gas injection valve B14.
[0022] The outlet ends of the connecting short circuit 2 and the pressure test container 21 are respectively connected to a liquid phase pipeline 8 through a control valve 7; one end of the liquid phase pipeline 8 is connected to a water storage tank 12 through a drain valve 9, a turbidity meter 10 and a flow meter 11. During operation, after the gas medium is injected into the pressure test container 21 and the normal pressure test container 1, the gas medium squeezes the brine stored in the salt cave sediment of the normal pressure test container 1 and the pressure test container 21, and then returns to the water storage tank 12 through the liquid phase pipeline 8, the drain valve 9, the turbidity meter 10 and the flow meter 11.
[0023] One end of the liquid phase pipeline 8 is connected to a liquid injection pipeline 15; the liquid injection pipeline 15 is connected to a liquid injection valve 16, a flow meter 11 and a plunger pump 18 in sequence and then connected to a water storage tank 12 (see the attached manual). Figure 1 When working, the plunger pump 18 can transport the brine stored in the water storage tank 12 through the flow meter 11 and the injection valve 16 and then through the injection pipeline 15 to the salt cave sediment of the normal pressure test container 1 and the pressure test container 21.
[0024] The pipeline on one side of the gas-liquid separator 5 is connected to an exhaust valve 20 and a flow controller B17 through an exhaust pipeline 19.
[0025] When the salt cavern sediment void energy storage simulation experimental device is working, when it is necessary to conduct an experiment of gas injection and brine removal, the plunger pump 18, the injection valve 16 and the control valve 7 are first turned on. At this time, the brine stored in the water storage tank 12 will be transported to the salt cavern sediment in the normal pressure test container 1 or the pressure test container 21 through the flow meter 11, the injection valve 16 and the injection pipeline 15.
[0026] When a certain amount of brine is stored in the salt cave sediment in the normal pressure test container 1 or the pressure test container 21, the plunger pump 18 and the injection valve 16 are closed. Then the discharge valve 9 and the turbidity meter 10 are opened; then the gas medium in the gas storage bottle 22 enters the normal pressure test container 1 or the pressure test container 21 through the corresponding switch valve 6 after the gas-liquid separator 5 at a constant flow rate under the action of the flow controller A3 and the gas injection valve A4, or enters the normal pressure test container 1 or the pressure test container 21 through the corresponding switch valve 6 after the gas-liquid separator 5 at a constant pressure under the action of the pressure reducing valve 13 and the gas injection valve B14.
[0027] After the constant flow gas medium or the constant pressure gas medium enters the atmospheric pressure test container 1 or the pressure test container 21, the brine in the salt cave sediment is squeezed to return to the water storage tank 12 through the liquid phase pipeline 8, the drain valve 9, the turbidity meter 10 and the flow meter 11. In this process, the process can be monitored by the turbidity meter 10 and the flow meter 11, so that the experiment of gas injection and brine removal can be completed.
[0028] When the salt cavern sediment void energy storage simulation experimental device is used to complete the brine injection and exhaust experiment, first, the gas medium in the gas storage bottle 22 passes through the gas-liquid separator 5 at a constant flow rate under the action of the flow controller A3 and the gas injection valve A4, and then enters the normal pressure test container 1 or the pressure test container 21 through the corresponding switch valve 6, or passes through the gas-liquid separator 5 at a constant pressure under the action of the pressure reducing valve 13 and the gas injection valve B14, and then enters the normal pressure test container 1 or the pressure test container 21 through the corresponding switch valve 6, so that a certain amount of gas medium is stored in the salt cavern sediment.
[0029] After the above work is completed, close the gas injection valve A4 and the gas injection valve B14, open the exhaust valve 20, and then start the plunger pump 18, the liquid injection valve 16 and the control valve 7. At this time, the brine stored in the water storage tank 12 will be transported to the salt cave sediment of the normal pressure test container 1 or the pressure test container 21 through the flow meter 11, the liquid injection valve 16 and the liquid injection pipeline 15. After the brine enters the normal pressure test container 1 or the pressure test container 21, it will squeeze the gas medium inside it, so that it will eventually be discharged through the gas-liquid separator 5 and the exhaust valve 20; in this process, the flow meter 11 can detect the discharged gas, and the simulation experimental device can complete the brine injection and exhaust experiment.
[0030] The salt cavern sediment void energy storage simulation experiment device has a compact structure and ingenious design. It can complete both brine injection and gas exhaust experiments and gas injection and brine exhaust experiments, and can complete both normal pressure experiments and high pressure experiments. It solves the problems of existing salt cavern energy storage simulation experiments that cannot carry out pressure experiments and have single experimental functions, and is particularly suitable for use in salt cavern sediment void energy storage simulation experiments.
