[0018] See also Figures 1 to 4 , the utility model embodiment includes:

[0019] A combined gas pressure energy storage device, comprising a combined gas tank 1, a reversing valve 2, an air compressor 3, an output pipe 4 and a flange pipe 5, wherein the output end of the air compressor 3 is connected to the reversing valve 2, an opening of the reversing valve 2 is provided with an output pipe 4, and another opening of the reversing valve 2 is provided with a flange pipe 5, wherein the flange pipe 5 is used to connect a plurality of combined gas tanks 1 in series, wherein the combined gas tank 1 has a gas tank 6 and a T-shaped combined pipe 7, wherein the T-shaped combined pipe 7 has a vertical pipe 71 and a horizontal pipe 72, wherein the vertical pipe 71 is vertically connected to the middle of the horizontal pipe 72, wherein the vertical pipe 71 is connected to the gas tank 6, wherein the horizontal pipe 72 is used to connect in series a horizontal pipe 72 in another combined gas tank 1, wherein a plugging component 8 is provided inside an opening at one end of the horizontal pipe 72, wherein a driving rod 9 extending from the opening of the horizontal pipe 72 is provided inside an opening at the other end of the horizontal pipe 72, wherein the driving rod 9 is used to open the plugging component 8 in another T-shaped combined pipe 7;

[0020] The horizontal tube 72 has a driving rod 9 at one end which is connected to another horizontal tube 72 at one end of a plugging assembly 8 through a bolt;

[0021] The reversing valve 2 is used to switch the connection state between the output end of the air compressor 3, the output pipe 4 and the flange pipe 5. When the reversing valve 2 is in the energy storage process, the output end of the air compressor 3 is connected to the flange pipe 5. When the reversing valve 2 is in the power generation state, the output pipe 4 is connected to the flange pipe 5. When the reversing valve 2 is in the storage state, the flange pipe 5 is blocked.

[0022] The blocking assembly 8 comprises a conical blocking plug 81, a spring 82, a guide bracket 83 and a guide rod 84. The bottom end surface of the conical blocking plug 81 is provided with a guide rod 84. The guide rod 84 slides axially along the horizontal tube 72 through the guide bracket 83 provided in the horizontal tube 72. The spring 82 is provided between the conical blocking plug 81 and the guide bracket 83. The spring 82 forces the conical blocking plug 81 to block the horizontal tube 72.

[0023] The outer wall of the gas tank 6 is also covered with a connecting plate 61 for fixed connection with an adjacent gas tank 6;

[0024] Through the above settings, in the actual working process, its specific working principle is as follows:

[0025] When the energy storage device is used to cope with the low power periods in different seasons, when the gas storage tank 6 is not full of high-pressure air, the number of series-connected gas tanks 1 is changed so that the working time of the air compressor 3 covers the entire low power period, thereby storing electricity in the most economical way;

[0026] When the gas cylinders 1 are combined in series, the horizontal tubes 72 in the T-shaped combined tubes 7 on both sides are connected, so that the driving rod 9 in the horizontal tube 72 on one side abuts against the top of the conical sealing plug 81 in the horizontal tube 72 on the other side. After the horizontal tubes 72 on both sides are completely locked by bolts, the driving rod 9 forces the conical sealing plug 81 in the horizontal tube 72 to move axially and compress the spring 82. At this time, the conical sealing plug 81 no longer blocks the horizontal tube 72, and the horizontal tubes 72 on both sides are in a connected state.

[0027] Grid low load energy storage state: first switch the reversing valve 2 to connect the output end of the air compressor 3 with the flange pipe 5, then start the air compressor 3, and the air compressor 3 forces the air storage tank 6 to be filled with high-pressure air through multiple T-shaped combination pipes 7 connected to the flange pipe 5. When the pressure of all the air storage tanks 6 in the energy storage device reaches the rated pressure, switch the reversing valve 2 again to block the flange pipe 5. At this time, the energy storage device completes the energy storage during the grid load low period;

[0028] Grid peak power generation state: First, use a pipeline to connect the output pipe 4 with the external turbine power generation input end, then switch the reversing valve 2 to connect the output pipe 4 with the flange pipe 5, so as to achieve the goal of releasing compressed air to drive the turbine to generate electricity;
